CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends impacting the financial condition of our business. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made and/or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “intend,” “seek,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “potential,” “might,” “forecast,” “continue,” or the negative of those terms, and similar expressions and comparable terminology intended to reference future periods. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

•our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property and the scope and duration of such protection;

•our reliance on third parties, including suppliers, delivery platforms, brand sponsors, software providers and service providers;

•our ability to operate in public spaces and any errors caused by human supervisors, network connectivity or automation;

•our robots’ reliance on sophisticated software technology that incorporates third-party components and networks to operate, and our ability to maintain licenses for this software technology;

•our ability to commercialize our products at a large scale;

•the competitive industry in which we operate which is subject to rapid technological change;

•our ability to raise additional capital to develop our technology and scale our operations;

•developments and projections relating to our competitors and our industry;

•our ability to adequately control the costs associated with our operations;

•the impact of current and future laws and regulations, especially those related to personal delivery devices;

•changes in general economic and financial conditions, inflationary pressures, the potential for economic recession in the U.S., tariffs and trade restrictions, including the imposition of new and higher tariffs on imported goods and retaliatory tariffs implemented by other countries on U.S. goods, and the potential effects on our financial condition or results of operations;

•potential cybersecurity risks to our operational systems, infrastructure and integrated software which may arise from our environment or third-party vendors;

•the development of a market for our common stock;

•the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern; and

•other risks and uncertainties, including those listed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, including the factors described in the section entitled “Item 1A – Risk Factors.”

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.

Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Accordingly, the

Table of Contents

forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should not be regarded as representations that the plans, intentions, expectations, results or conditions described in such statements will occur or that our objectives and plans will be achieved, and the forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, or investments we may make. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS, HISTORY, ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Serve Operating Co. (formerly known as Serve Robotics Inc.) (“Serve”) is a corporation formed on January 15, 2021 under the laws of the State of Delaware and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Serve Robotics Inc. (formerly known as Patricia Acquisition Corp.) (the “Company”). The Company is developing next-generation robots for last-mile delivery services. The Company is headquartered in Redwood City, California.

On July 31, 2023, Serve Acquisition Corp., a corporation formed in the State of Delaware on July 10, 2023 (“Acquisition Sub”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Patricia Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation incorporated on November 9, 2020 (“Patricia”), merged with and into Serve. Pursuant to this transaction (the “Merger”), Serve was the surviving corporation and became Patricia’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and all of the outstanding stock of Serve was converted into shares of Patricia’s common stock. All of Serve’s outstanding warrants and options were assumed by Patricia. In addition, on July 31, 2023, the board of directors of Patricia and all of its pre-Merger stockholders approved a restated certificate of incorporation, which was effective upon its filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on July 31, 2023, and through which Patricia changed its name to “Serve Robotics Inc.” Following the consummation of the Merger, Serve changed its name to “Serve Operating Co.”

As a result of the Merger, Patricia acquired the business of Serve and continued the existing business operations of Serve as a public reporting company under the name Serve Robotics Inc. In accordance with “reverse merger” or “reverse acquisition” accounting treatment, Serve was determined to be the accounting acquirer. Patricia’s historical financial statements before the Merger have been replaced with the historical financial statements of Serve before the Merger in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) since the Merger unless otherwise noted.

Public Offering and Uplisting to Nasdaq

On April 17, 2024, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Aegis Capital Corp. (“Aegis”) in connection with the public offering of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001, at a public offering price of $4.00 per share (the “Offering”). The Company’s net proceeds from the Offering, after deducting the underwriting discount and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, were approximately $35.8 million. As a result of the Offering, the Company’s common stock was approved for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market and commenced trading under the ticker symbol “SERV” beginning on April 18, 2024. See Note 9.

Enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), which includes significant changes to federal tax law, including modifications to bonus depreciation, research and development expensing and international tax regimes. As the legislation was enacted after the end of the Company’s reporting period, the effects are not reflected in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. While the Company continues to evaluate the impact of the legislation on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, it does not currently expect the tax provisions of the OBBBA to have a material impact within its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to interim period financial statements and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented.

Table of Contents

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024 included our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.

Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which discrete financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer serves as the Company’s CODM. The CODM reviews financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. As such, the Company has one operating and reportable segment. See further information in Note 12.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of June 30, 2025 our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $183.3 million, which consisted of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand of $116.7 million and $66.6 million in marketable securities. Although the Company has incurred recurring losses each year since its inception, the Company expects it will be able to fund its operations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe we will meet longer term expected future cash requirements and obligations through available cash balances. However, our projections of future cash needs and cash flows may differ from historical results. If current cash on hand, cash equivalents, and cash that may be generated from our business operations are insufficient to continue to operate our business, or if we elect to invest in or acquire a company or companies or new technology or technologies that are synergistic with or complementary to our technologies, we may be required to obtain more working capital. We may seek to obtain working capital during our fiscal year 2025 or thereafter through sales of our equity securities or convertible debt or or through public or private debt facilities from various financial institutions where possible, though the availability of such funding, and applicable terms, will be dependent on prevailing market conditions.

If we do identify sources for additional funding, the sale of additional equity securities or convertible debt will result in dilution to our stockholders. We can give no assurance that we will generate sufficient cash flows in the future to satisfy our liquidity requirements or sustain future operations, or that other sources of funding, such as sales of equity or debt, would be available or would be approved by our security holders, if needed, on favorable terms or at all. If we fail to obtain additional working capital as and when needed, such failure could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, such lack of funds may inhibit our ability to respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated capital needs, or may force us to reduce operating expenses, which would significantly harm the business and development of operations.

The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, estimated useful lives of property and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, allocation of overhead costs between cost of revenue and operating expenses and valuation of stock-based compensation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company generally maintains balances in various operating accounts at financial institutions that management believes to be credit worthy, in amounts that may exceed federally insured limits.

Table of Contents

The Company has not experienced any losses related to its cash and cash equivalents and does not believe that it is subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships.

Concentrations

A significant portion of our revenue is concentrated with two customers, Magna New Mobility USA, Inc. (“Magna”) and Uber Technologies, Inc. (“Uber”).

For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, sales to Magna accounted for 39% and 63% of our total revenue, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, sales to Magna accounted for 46% and 81% of our total revenue, respectively.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, sales to Uber accounted for 31% and 30% of our total revenue, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, sales to Uber accounted for 29% and 13% of our total revenue, respectively.

As of June 30, 2025, Magna accounted for 81% of our accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2024, Customer C and Uber accounted for 86% and 12% of our accounts receivable, respectively.

There are inherent risks whenever a large percentage of total revenues and accounts receivable are concentrated with a limited number of customers. The loss of either or both of these customers could have a negative impact on our results of operations.

In addition to Magna supporting our manufacturing efforts, the Company entered into commercial arrangements with Magna for services and licensing agreements.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, allocation of the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to the valuation of intangible assets. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with a corresponding offset to goodwill if new information is obtained related to facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition costs, such as legal and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities primarily consist of certificates of deposit, commercial paper, U.S. government agency securities, U.S. Treasury securities, corporate bonds and mutual funds. The Company invests in a diversified portfolio of marketable securities and limits the concentration of its investment in any particular security. Securities with maturities greater than three months but less than one year are included in current assets, and securities with maturities greater than one year are included in non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. All marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value.

If the estimated fair value of an available-for-sale debt security is below its amortized cost basis, then the Company evaluates the security for impairment. The Company considers its intent to sell the security or whether it is more likely than

Table of Contents

not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized basis. If either of these criteria are met, the debt security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through other expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations. If neither of these criteria are met, the Company evaluates whether unrealized losses have resulted from a credit loss or other factors. The factors considered in determining whether a credit loss exists can include the extent to which fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, any adverse conditions specifically related to the security, as well as other factors. An impairment relating to credit losses is recorded through an allowance for credit losses reported in other expense, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The allowance is limited by the amount that the fair value of the debt security is below its amortized cost basis. When a credit loss exists, the Company compares the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security with the amortized cost basis of the security to determine what allowance amount, if any, should be recorded. Unrealized losses not resulting from credit losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:

•Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

•Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

The carrying values of the Company’s accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.

See Note 5 for fair value disclosures.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are derived from services delivered to customers and is reported net of allowance. Each month, the Company reviews its receivables on a customer-by-customer basis and evaluates whether an allowance for credit loss is necessary based on any known or perceived collection issues. Any balances that are eventually deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company determined there was no allowance for credit loss necessary.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is recognized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, which is 2 to 4 years for office equipment and 2 years for the Company’s robot assets. Estimated useful lives are periodically assessed to determine if changes are appropriate. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost of these assets and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are eliminated from the balance sheets and any resulting gains or losses are included in the statements of operations in the period of disposal. As of June 30, 2025, certain amounts previously categorized as inventory have been reclassified as Property and Equipment. The reclassification had an immaterial impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Leases

The Company accounts for leases under ASC 842 – Leases. The Company does not apply the recognition requirements for leases with a term of twelve months or less.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease, or includes an embedded lease, at inception for each contract or agreement. A contract is or contains an embedded lease if the contract meets all of the below criteria:

(i)there is an identified asset;

(ii)the Company obtains substantially all of the economic benefits of the asset; and

(iii)the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.

The Company’s operating lease agreements include office and warehouse space, and cargo vans. “ROU assets” represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the obligation to make payments arising from the lease or embedded lease. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate that is based on the estimated rate of interest for a collateralized borrowing of a similar asset, using a similar term as the lease payments at the commencement date. Indirect capital costs are capitalized and included in the ROU assets at commencement.

The operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities include any lease payments made, including any variable amounts that are based on an index or rate, and exclude lease incentives. Variability that is not due to an index or rate, such as payments made based on hourly rates, are excluded from the lease liability. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease.

Renewal option periods are included within the lease term and the associated payments are recognized in the measurement of the operating ROU asset and operating lease liability when they are at our discretion and considered reasonably certain of being exercised. Over the lease term, the Company uses the effective interest rate method to account for the lease liability as lease payments are made and the ROU asset is amortized in a manner that results in straight-line expense recognition.

Intangible Assets, Net

Intangible assets are recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company reviews identifiable amortizable intangible assets for impairment under the long-lived asset model described under “Impairment of Long-Lived Assets” below.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. The Company’s impairment tests are based on a single operating segment and reporting unit structure. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized for the excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit over its fair value.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360 – Property, Plant and Equipment. The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

Table of Contents

Deferred Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1 with regards to offering costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs are capitalized. The deferred offering costs are charged to additional paid-in capital or as a discount to debt, as applicable, upon the completion of an offering or to expense if the offering is not completed.

Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates its convertible instruments, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC 815 – Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statements of operations as other income (expense). Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as that term is described under applicable GAAP.

Accounting for Preferred Stock

ASC 480 – Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, includes standards for how an issuer of equity (including equity shares issued by consolidated entities) classifies and measures on its consolidated balance sheet certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.

Management is required to determine the presentation for the preferred stock as a result of the redemption and conversion provisions, among other provisions in the agreement. Specifically, management is required to determine whether the embedded conversion feature in the preferred stock is clearly and closely related to the host instrument, and whether the bifurcation of the conversion feature is required and whether the conversion feature should be accounted for as a derivative instrument. If the host instrument and conversion feature are determined to be clearly and closely related (both more akin to equity), derivative liability accounting under ASC 815 is not required. Management determined that the host contract of the preferred stock is more akin to equity, and accordingly, liability accounting is not required by the Company. The Company has presented preferred stock within stockholders’ equity.

Costs incurred directly for the issuance of the preferred stock are recorded as a reduction of gross proceeds received by the Company, resulting in a discount to the preferred stock. The discount is not amortized.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) primarily consists of foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale marketable securities. The financial statements of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated from their functional currency, which is typically the local currency, into U.S. dollars.

Assets and liabilities are translated at period end rates of exchange, and revenue and expenses are translated using average monthly exchange rates. The resulting gain or loss is included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the consolidated balance sheets.

Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Stock-Based Compensation

Table of Contents

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 – Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). The Company measures all stock-based awards granted to employees, directors and non-employee consultants based on the fair value on the date of the grant and recognizes compensation expense for those awards over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. For awards with service-based vesting conditions, the Company records the expense for using the straight-line method. For awards with performance-based vesting conditions, the Company records the expense if and when the Company concludes that it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved.

The Company classifies stock-based compensation expense in its statements of operations in the same manner in which the award recipient’s payroll costs are classified or in which the award recipient’s service payments are classified.

The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company historically has been a private company and lacks company-specific historical and implied volatility information for its stock. Therefore, it estimates its expected stock price volatility based on the historical volatility of publicly traded peer companies and expects to continue to do so until such time as it has adequate historical data regarding the volatility of its own traded stock price. The expected term of the Company’s stock options has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method for awards that qualify as “plain-vanilla” options. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends on common stock and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Forfeitures are recognized as incurred. Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards.

Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for revenue under ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

•Identification of a contract with a customer;

•Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

•Determination of the transaction price;

•Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

•Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. As a practical expedient, the Company does not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component if, at contract inception, the period between customer payment and the transfer of goods or services is expected to be one year or less.

The Company recognizes revenue on its fleet services when the performance obligation is satisfied. The fleet performs delivery services and branding services and unit sales. The Company’s performance obligation on a delivery is satisfied when the delivery is complete, which is the point in time control of the delivered product transfers to the customer. The Company’s performance obligation on branding services is to continually promote a brand over the duration of the contractual term, which is typically less than one year. The Company primarily recognizes revenue in the amount that it has the right to invoice as advertising services are rendered.

The Company recognizes revenue on its software services over time based on the contract term. The Company determines measurable performance obligations, which are assessed on a contract by contract basis. The Company develops certain measures to estimate the progress of the performance obligation at each reporting period end. Software service fees that have been invoiced or paid but performance obligations have not been met are recorded as deferred revenue.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The disaggregation of revenue is as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2025		2024		2025		2024
Software services	$	312	$	296	$	541	$	1,147
Fleet services	330		172		541		268
	$	642	$	468	$	1,082	$	1,415

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists primarily of allocations of depreciation on robot assets used for revenue producing activities, personnel time related to revenue-producing activities, and costs related to data, software and similar costs that allow the robots to function as intended and for the Company to communicate with the robots while in service.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses include personnel costs. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in sales and marketing expenses.

Operations

Operations expenses consist of lease expense for facilities and certain field operations personnel to support fleet services. The Company considers these expenses to be indirect costs to deliver fleet services.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel-related expenses for executive management and administrative functions, including finance and accounting, legal, and human resources, as well as general corporate expenses and general insurance. General and administrative expenses also include depreciation on property and equipment and facility costs. These costs are expensed as incurred.

Research and Development Costs

Costs incurred in the research and development of the Company’s products are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs include product design, hardware and software costs. Per ASC 730 – Research and Development, the Company recognizes all research and development costs in the statements of operations as they occur. Assets with alternative future uses are capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives, with the depreciation expense reported under research and development costs.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method in accordance with ASC 740 – Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using tax rates expected to be in effect when these differences reverse.

A valuation allowance is established when, in management’s estimate, it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company evaluates its income tax positions in accordance with ASC 740-10. For tax positions where it is more likely than not that a benefit will be sustained, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information.

Net Loss per Share

Net earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares subject to redemption or forfeiture. The Company presents basic and

Table of Contents

diluted net earnings or loss per share. Diluted net earnings or loss per share reflect the actual weighted average of common shares issued and outstanding during the period, adjusted for potentially dilutive securities outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of the diluted net loss per share if their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for each period. Potentially dilutive items outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:


	June 30,
	2025	2024
Common stock warrants	1,096,481	3,493,671

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures to enable investors to better understand an entity’s overall performance through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The guidance enhances interim disclosure requirements, clarifies circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, and provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2023-07 during the fourth quarter of December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 12 for further information.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires greater disaggregation of income tax disclosures related to the income tax reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2023-09 in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. The adoption will require certain additional disclosure in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires the disaggregation of certain expenses in the notes of the financial statements to provide enhanced transparency into the expense captions presented on the face of the statements of operations. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption will require certain additional disclosure in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. ACQUISITION

On April 1, 2025, (the “Closing Date”), the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity of a foreign entity, which was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting.

The Company allocated the fair value of the purchase price consideration to the tangible assets, liabilities, and intangible assets acquired, based on estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. The Company’s valuation assumptions of acquired assets and assumed liabilities require significant estimates with respect to intangible assets. In determining the fair value of intangible assets acquired, the Company must make assumptions about the future performance of the acquired business, including among other things, the forecasted revenue growth attributable to the asset group and projected operating expenses. The acquired company’s intangible assets are comprised of customer relationships, trade names and developed technology. The estimated fair value of the customer relationships, trade names and developed technology are determined using the multi-period excess earnings method and relief from royalty method. Both methods require forward looking estimates that are discounted to determine the fair value of the intangible asset using

Table of Contents

a risk-adjusted discount rate that is reflective of the level of risk associated with future estimates associated with the asset group that could be affected by future economic and market conditions. The estimated fair value of the developed technology is also dependent on the selection of the royalty rate used in the valuation method.

The total purchase consideration was approximately $5.75 million of cash consideration. The preliminary goodwill of $4.33 million arising from the acquisition is attributed to the expected synergies, including future cost savings, and other benefits expected to be generated. Substantially all of the goodwill recognized is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The Company recorded an insignificant amount of acquisition related costs in the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing professional and other direct acquisition costs. These costs are recorded within selling, general, and administrative expense in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Certain data necessary to complete the purchase price allocation remains preliminary. The Company expects to complete the purchase price allocation within 12 months of the Closing Date, at which time the purchase price allocation set forth herein may be revised. Any such revisions or changes may be material. The Company utilized widely accepted income-based, market-based, and cost-based valuation approaches to perform the preliminary purchase price allocation.

The Company’s preliminary allocation of the purchase price, based on the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Closing Date, is as follows (in thousands):


	Preliminary: April 1, 2025
Cash consideration paid	$	5,170
Escrow amount	575
Purchase price	5,745

Assets acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents	111

Total	$	106,000	$	66,631	$	—	$	172,631

There were no Level 1, 2 or 3 assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2024.

The fair value of the Company’s Level 1 financial instruments is based on quoted market prices for identical instruments in active markets. The fair value of the Company’s Level 2 fixed income securities is obtained from independent pricing services, which may use quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments in less active markets or model driven valuations using observable market data or inputs corroborated by observable market data.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

Derivative Liability

In connection with the issuance of the Company’s convertible notes, the Company recorded a derivative liability (see Note 8). The estimated fair value of the derivative liability was recorded using significant unobservable measures and other fair value inputs and is therefore classified as a Level 3 financial instrument.

The fair value of the derivative liability was valued using a probability-weighted scenario analysis utilizing the terms of the notes under the with-or-without method. The Company determined a 100% probability of conversion into equity as the notes were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock upon the Offering in April 2024.

Upon the Offering in April 2024, all the convertible notes, including principal and accrued interest, were converted into 2,104,562 shares of the Company’s common stock. Accordingly, the related derivative liability was converted into additional paid-in capital.

6. MARKETABLE SECURITIES

The following tables summarize the cost or amortized cost, gross unrealized gain, gross unrealized loss, and fair value of the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities (in thousands):

8. NOTE PAYABLE

Note Payable – Related Party

In December 2023, the Company issued a senior secured promissory note to its Chief Executive Officer for which Serve received $70 thousand in proceeds. The note bore interest at 7.67% per annum. The note was fully repaid on January 3, 2024.

January 2024 Convertible Note Payable

At various dates in January 2024, the Company issued to certain accredited investors convertible promissory notes in an aggregate amount of $5.0 million, for which the Company received $4.8 million in net proceeds (the “January Notes”). As a result, the Company incurred fees of $170 thousand which was recorded as a debt discount. The January Notes bore interest at a rate of 6.00% per year, compounded annually, and were due and payable upon request by each investor on or after the 12-month anniversary of the original issuance date of each note. The Company could not prepay or repay the January Notes in cash without the consent of the investors. The January Notes were to convert upon a qualified offering into the Company’s common stock at the lesser of the price paid per share multiplied by 75% or the quotient resulting from dividing $80.0 million by the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on a fully diluted basis prior to the

financing (the “Conversion Price”). Upon the closing of the Offering in April 2024, the January Notes, including accrued interest, were converted into 2,104,562 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $2.42 per share.

The Company evaluated the terms of the conversion features of the January Notes as noted above in accordance with ASC 815-40 – Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock, and determined they are not indexed to the Company’s common stock and that the conversion feature, which is akin to a redemption feature, meets the definition of a liability. The January Notes contain an indeterminate number of shares to settle with conversion options outside of the Company’s control. Therefore, the Company bifurcated the conversion feature and accounted for it as a separate derivative liability. Upon issuance of the January Notes, the Company recognized a derivative liability at a fair value of $1.5 million, which was recorded as a debt discount and was amortized over the life of the January Notes. Upon the closing of the Offering, the derivative liability had a fair value of $1.7 million, which was reclassified to additional paid-in capital in connection with the conversion of the underlying the January Notes.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred no interest expense or aggregate debt discount pertaining to the January Notes, all of which were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock in April 2024.

Upon the closing of the Offering in April 2024, the outstanding principal and accrued interest of the January Notes converted into 2,104,562 shares of the Company’s common stock. Accordingly, the related derivative liability was recorded into additional paid-in capital.

In connection with the issuance of the January Notes, the Company granted to the placement agent warrants (the “Convertible Promissory Notes Offering Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 10% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock into which the January Notes sold to investors introduced by the placement agent were initially convertible. The Convertible Promissory Notes Offering Warrants are exercisable at the same price as the Conversion Price. Upon the closing of the Offering, the Company issued the Convertible Promissory Notes Offering Warrants to purchase up to 63,479 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.42 per share. The Convertible Promissory Notes Offering Warrants expire on April 17, 2029 and include customary anti-dilution provisions. As of June 30, 2025, 63,479 of 63,479 warrants have been exercised into shares of the Company’s common stock.

9. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)

The Representative’s Warrant expires on April 17, 2029. As of June 30, 2025, the Representative’s Warrant has been fully exercised into shares of the Company’s common stock.

Restricted Common Stock and Restricted Stock Units

During 2023, the Company issued 338,121 shares of restricted common stock for recourse notes totaling $164 thousand. The shares were issued with a corresponding note receivable, a recourse loan that was collateralized by the underlying shares. The Company planned to enforce the recourse terms for the holders. As such, in accordance with ASC 505-10-45-2, the Company recognized a subscription receivable of $166 thousand, inclusive of interest on the note, which was included as a contra-equity on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recorded a corresponding restricted stock award liability of $163 thousand for the potential settlement if the call right for the shares of restricted common stock is exercised and unvested shares repurchased. The Company reduced the liability and increased additional paid-in capital for the value of the note associated with vested shares no longer subject to the call right. In June 2024, the Company forgave one recourse loan, and due to the lack of enforcement, the remaining loans were deemed non-recourse. Accordingly, the Company extinguished restricted stock award liability and the related subscription receivable related to loans previously classified as recourse loans. In accordance with ASC 718, these actions were deemed award modifications. The Company recognized $204 thousand in stock-based compensation related to the incremental value of the award and an additional $12 thousand related to the change in classification; all of which was included in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

As of June 30, 2025, there were 107,046 shares of the Company’s common stock issued, that are subject to the non-recourse note and deemed not outstanding.

Subject to adjustments as set forth in the 2023 Plan, the maximum aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued under the 2023 Plan will not exceed 9,767,029 shares.

In June 2025, the 2023 Plan was amended, and the number of shares authorized under the 2023 Plan was increased by 2,280,000 additional shares.

The shares may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired common stock. Furthermore, subject to adjustments as set forth in the 2023 Plan, in no event shall the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the 2023 Plan pursuant to Incentive Stock Options exceed the number set forth above plus, to the extent allowable under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, any shares that again become available for issuance pursuant to the 2023 Plan.

The number of shares available for issuance under the 2023 Plan may, at the discretion of our Board or a committee thereof, which committee will be constituted to satisfy applicable laws (“Plan Administrator”), be increased on October 1st of each fiscal year beginning with the 2023 fiscal year until the 2023 Plan terminates, in each case, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 4% of the shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding month on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis and (ii) such other number of shares as determined by our Board.

Table of Contents

To the extent stock awards or awards or shares issued under the 2021 Plan that were assumed by the Company upon the closing of the Merger (“Existing Plan Awards”) are exercised in full or are surrendered pursuant to an exchange program (as defined in the 2023 Plan), the unissued shares that were subject thereto shall continue to be available under the 2023 Plan for issuance pursuant to future stock awards.

To the extent a stock award under the 2023 Plan or Existing Plan Award is paid out in cash rather than shares, such cash payment will not result in reducing the number of shares available for issuance under the 2023 Plan.

Finance Lease – Failed Sales-Leaseback

In November 2022, the Company entered into a lease agreement with Farnam Capital for its robot assets. As per ASC 842-40-25, the transaction was considered a failed sales-leaseback and therefore the lease was accounted for as a financing agreement. There was no outstanding liability at June 30, 2025. In April 2025, the Company exercised the option to purchase the assets at the end of the lease for $2.25 million.

Contingencies

The Company may be subject to pending legal proceedings and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of business. The results of such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, but the Company does not anticipate that the final outcome, if any, arising out of any such matters will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

12. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has one operating and reportable segment. A description of how the Company derives revenues is included in Note 2. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer serves as the Company’s CODM, who reviews financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. The CODM uses consolidated net loss as the sole measure of segment profit or loss to make key operating decisions such as the allocation of the budget and monitoring budget versus actual results. The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using asset information.

Significant expenses within net loss include cost of revenue, general and administrative, operations, research and development, sales and marketing, which are each separately presented on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Stock-based compensation expense is also a significant expense within net loss. Refer to Note 10 for additional information about the Company’s stock-based compensation expense. Other segment items include interest income, interest expense, and provision for (benefit from) income taxes on the consolidated statements of operations.

Overview

On July 31, 2023, the Company, Acquisition Sub, and Serve entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Acquisition Sub merged with and into Serve, with Serve continuing as the surviving corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary. As a result of the Merger, we acquired the business of Serve and continued the existing business operations of Serve as a public reporting company under the name Serve Robotics Inc. Upon the closing of the Merger, Serve’s predecessor was renamed Serve Operating Co.

The Merger was treated as a recapitalization and reverse acquisition for us for financial reporting purposes, and Serve is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes. As a result of the Merger and the change in our business and operations, a discussion of the past financial results of Patricia is not pertinent, and under applicable accounting principles, the historical financial results of Serve, the accounting acquirer prior to the Merger, are considered our historical financial results.

Our discussion and analysis are organized as follows:

•Executive Summary – Summary analysis of financial and other highlights to provide context for the discussion and analysis.

Serve Robotics

Serve is shaping the future of sustainable, self-driving delivery. We design, develop, and operate low-emissions robots that serve people in public spaces, starting with food delivery. Starting in 2017, our core technology was developed by our co-founders and a majority of our product and engineering team in San Francisco, California as a special project within Postmates, one of the pioneering food delivery startups in the United States.

Table of Contents

Because we started this project within a food delivery company, our team comes with a depth of combined expertise in food delivery, automation, and robotics.

Our expertise positions us to service the growing on-demand delivery market, including food delivery, where approximately half of all deliveries are less than 2.5 miles and well-suited to delivery by sidewalk robots. We provide a robotic delivery experience that delights customers, improves reliability for merchants, and reduces traffic congestion and eliminates vehicle emissions. At scale, our delivery robots can complete deliveries at lower cost than human couriers, making on-demand delivery more affordable and accessible in areas we operate.

Recent Developments

Acquisition of Technology Company

On April 1, 2025, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity of a foreign entity, which was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Refer to the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section for discussion on the purchase price and the Acquisition's impact on Serve's liquidity.

Securities Purchase Agreement

On January 7, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a certain institutional investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a registered direct offering an aggregate of 4,210,525 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $19.00 per share. The gross proceeds to the Company from the Registered Direct Offering were approximately $80 million, before deducting the placement agents’ fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company.

Public Offering and Uplisting to Nasdaq

On April 17, 2024, we entered into the Underwriting Agreement with Aegis in connection with the Offering. The Company’s net proceeds from the Offering, after deducting the underwriting discount and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, were approximately $35.8 million. As a result of the Offering, the Company’s common stock was approved for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market and commenced trading under the ticker symbol “SERV” beginning on April 18, 2024.

License and Services Agreement

On February 20, 2024, Serve entered into a License and Services Agreement (the “LSA”) with Magna as a part of a strategic partnership with Magna. Pursuant to the LSA, Serve, as an independent contractor of Magna, agreed to (i) grant a non-exclusive royalty-free license to the Serve AMR Technology in the Licensed Fields of Use (each as defined in the LSA) to Magna and its affiliates and (ii) provide all reasonable engineering, technical and related support services that Magna may request from time to time in writing and in furtherance of commercialization of the Serve AMR Technology and products (including software) using, practicing, or incorporating the Serve AMR Technology, and manufactured using, practicing or incorporating the Serve AMR Technology (such services and support, the “Development Services”). Except as expressly set forth in the LSA, any Development Services shall be provided under the MSA (as defined below) and, if expired or terminated, under terms and conditions that are consistent with the terms therein. The term of the LSA will continue unless terminated by either party pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the LSA.

Master Services Agreement

On February 1, 2024, Serve entered into the MSA with Magna, retroactively effective as of January 15, 2024 (the “Effective Date”). Pursuant to the MSA, Serve agreed to provide certain services to Magna as described in one or more statements of work (“SOWs”). Such SOWs will contain a description of the scope, the time to be spent on performance, the fees to be paid to Serve, the functional requirements and technical specifications and, to the extent applicable, the timetable, schedule or milestones for the performance of the requested services. Serve and Magna entered into the first SOW on the Effective Date. The term of the MSA commenced on the Effective Date and will continue for a term of three months, unless terminated earlier or mutually extended in accordance with its terms.

In connection with the strategic partnership with Magna, on February 7, 2024, we issued the Magna Warrant to purchase up to 2,145,000 shares of our common stock, subject to adjustments as provided therein, at an exercise price of $0.01 per

The Magna Warrant Shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Magna Warrant were offered and sold in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

Outlook And Challenges Facing Our Business

There are a number of industry factors that affect our business which include, among others:

Overall Demand for Last-Mile Delivery on Partner Platforms.

Our potential for growth depends significantly on continued demand for last-mile delivery of food and other items on our partner platforms. This demand can fluctuate based on various market cycles and weather and local community health conditions, as well as evolving competitive dynamics. Our largest stream of projected revenue comes from maximizing utilization of our robots to perform deliveries on our partner platforms. Matching algorithms on these platforms as well as the extent of their merchant and end-customer participation in robotic delivery directly impacts the utilization rate of our robots, both of which can be challenging to predict. These uncertainties make demand difficult to forecast for us and our partners.

Customer Concentration.

A significant portion of our revenue is concentrated with two customers, Magna New Mobility USA, Inc. (“Magna”) and Uber Technologies, Inc. (“Uber”).

As of June 30, 2025, Magna accounted for 81% of our accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2024, Customer C and Uber accounted for 86% and 12% of our accounts receivable, respectively.

Inflation and Market Considerations; Availability of Materials, Labor & Services.

We consider most on-demand purchases as discretionary spending for consumers, and we are therefore susceptible to changes in discretionary spending patterns and economic slowdowns in the geographic areas in which merchants on our partners’ platforms operate and in the economy at large. Discretionary consumer spending can be impacted by general economic conditions, unemployment, consumer debt, inflation, gasoline prices, interest rates, consumer confidence and other macroeconomic factors. Inflation can lead to increased cost of material and labor for restaurants and merchants who may in turn raise prices on the items they sell and result in a reduction in demand for those items. To the extent inflation reduces economic activity and consumer demand for items we deliver, it could negatively impact our financial results. Continued uncertainty in or a worsening of the economy, generally or in a number of our markets, and consumers’ reactions to these trends could adversely affect our business and cause us to, among other things, reduce the number and frequency of new market openings or cease operations in existing markets. It is important to note, however, that inflation can also serve as a tailwind that would accelerate the adoption of automated robotic last-mile delivery as labor becomes more expensive and drives up the cost of delivery by humans.

Intellectual Property.

We rely on patented and non-patented proprietary information relating to product development, manufacturing capabilities, and other core competencies of our business. Protection of intellectual property is critical. Therefore, steps such as additional patent applications, confidentiality, and non-disclosure agreements, as well as other security measures are important. While we believe we have a strong patent portfolio and there is no actual or, to our knowledge, threatened litigation against us for patent-related matters, litigation or threatened litigation is a common method to effectively enforce or protect intellectual property rights. Such action may be initiated by or against us and would require significant management time and expenses.

Supply Chain Constraints.

We cannot be sure whether global supply chain shortages will impact our future robot build plans. In order to mitigate supply chain risks, we may need to incur higher costs to secure available inventory and place non-cancelable purchase commitments with our suppliers, which could introduce inventory risk if our forecasts and assumptions prove inaccurate. Higher costs of components would impact our cash runway and delays in the manufacturing of our robots would push out our revenue forecasts.

Governmental and Regulatory Conditions.

Our potential for growth depends on continued permission and acceptance by local governments and municipalities where our robots perform deliveries. Changes in regulations such as the imposition of a cap on the number of robots or technical requirements such as robot size and weight restrictions or limitations on autonomy within a certain geographic area could reduce or limit our ability to generate revenues and/or impact our unit economics in those markets.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

Our revenue currently consists of software services revenues and fleet services revenues.

Cost of Revenue and Operating Expenses

Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue consists primarily of allocations of depreciation on robot assets used for revenue producing activities, personnel time related to revenue activities and costs related to data, software and similar costs that allow the robots to function as intended and for the Company to communicate with its robots while in service.

Operations. Operations consist of lease expense for facilities and certain field operations personnel to support fleet services. The Company considers these expenses to be indirect costs to deliver fleet services.

Research and Development. Costs incurred in the research and development of the Company’s products are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs include product design, hardware and software costs.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses include personnel costs and public relations expenses. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in sales and marketing expenses.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel-related expenses for executive management and administrative functions, including finance and accounting, legal and human resources, as well as general corporate expenses and general insurance. General and administrative expenses also include depreciation on property and equipment as well as amortization of right of use assets.

Interest Income. Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities.

Interest Expense. Interest expense consists of stated rates of interest on financing instruments, fees incurred related to financing instruments or accretion of debt discounts.

Daily Active Robots: We define daily active robots as the average number of robots performing daily deliveries during the period. Daily active robots reflect our operation team’s capacity to have active robots in the field performing deliveries and/or generating branding revenues. We closely monitor and strive to increase our daily active robots efficiently as we improve our autonomy and resultant human-to-robot ratios and increase the number of merchants and brand advertisers on our platform.

Daily Supply Hours: We define daily supply hours as the average number of hours our robots are ready to accept offers and perform daily deliveries during the period. Supply hours represent the aggregate number of robot hours per day during which we can utilize our robots for delivery. Supply hours increase as we add active robots and increase the operating window of those robots in a day. We closely monitor and strive to efficiently increase our fleet’s daily supply hours.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2025, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $183.33 million, which consisted of $116.70 million in cash and cash equivalents and $66.63 million in marketable securities. Cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash on deposit with banks as well as an institutional money market account. Marketable securities consisted of commercial paper, corporate bonds, U.S. government agency securities and U.S. Treasury securities.

We have generated significant operating losses from our operations as reflected in our accumulated deficit of $141.59 million as of June 30, 2025. We have historically funded our operations from issuance of equity and debt securities, including our initial public offering in April 2024 and subsequent equity issuances. To execute on our strategic initiatives to continue to grow our business, we may incur operating losses and generate negative cash flows from operations in the future, and as a result, we may require additional capital resources. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditures needs for at least the next 12 months.

Table of Contents

Our future capital expenditures will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to our growth, our ability to attract and retain customers, the continuing market acceptance of our offerings, the time and extent of spending to support our efforts to develop our platform, and the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing and extent of spending for policy initiatives. Further, we may in the future enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in businesses, products, services, and technologies. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

The following table shows a summary of our cash flows for the periods (in thousands):


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2025		2024		Change
Net cash (used in) provided by:
Operating activities	$	(25,426)	$	(9,820)	$	(15,606)
Investing activities	(81,934)		(798)		(81,136)

Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	(6,565)	$	28,774	$	(35,339)

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $25.43 million and $9.82 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $15.61 million primarily consisted of an increased net loss of $15.99 million, adjusted for certain non-cash items, which primarily includes an increase of $1.26 million of depreciation and amortization expense, offset by decreases of $0.54 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and $1.68 million of amortization of debt discount.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $81.93 million and $0.80 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $81.14 million was primarily due to the purchase of short-term marketable securities of $66.3 million, incremental robot build construction in-process of $8.7 million, and the purchase of a newly acquired business for $5.6 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $100.80 million and $39.39 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $61.40 million primarily consisted of proceeds from issuance of the Company’s common stock pursuant to securities purchases, net of offering costs of $40.00 million, proceeds from the issuance of the Company’s common stock pursuant to 2025 Equity Disbursement Agreement, net of offering costs of $13.5 million, and proceeds from the exercise of warrants of $11.37 million, partially offset by a decrease in proceeds received from convertible notes of $4.84 million.

Indebtedness

In March 2022, we entered into a term loan with Silicon Valley Bank for gross proceeds of $2.50 million and the loan was repaid in full as of September 30, 2024.

In June 2022, we entered into an equipment financing lease agreement with Farnam Street commencing November 2022, for the cost of building robots, calling for 24 monthly payments of approximately $0.19 million based on an expected total cost of $4.46 million of robot parts and manufacturing costs. In December 2023, the agreement was modified to require three monthly repayments of approximately $0.03 million each and 12 monthly repayments of approximately $0.19 million each, subject to certain terms and effective in January 2024. There was no outstanding liability as of June 30, 2025. In April 2025, the Company exercised the option to purchase the assets at the end of the lease for $2.25 million.

Table of Contents

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Critical Accounting Estimates

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an emerging growth company to either early adopt or delay the adoption of some accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period under the JOBS Act until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

We are also a “smaller reporting company” meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, for this reporting period and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as set forth in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions

Table of Contents

about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Based upon our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management has identified the following material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that exist as of June 30, 2025. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

•The Company did not design and maintain an effective control environment as our size has prevented us from being able to employ sufficient resources. This material weakness contributed to the following additional material weaknesses.

•The Company did not design and maintain effective controls to verify appropriate segregation of duties.

•The Company did not design and maintain effective controls related to substantially all accounts and disclosures. Specifically, the Company did not design and maintain comprehensive and formalized accounting and financial reporting policies and procedures that detail the information needed for our financial reporting process, including a robust review process by which management monitors for technical accounting requirements.

•The Company did not design and maintain effective controls over information technology (IT) general controls over information systems that are relevant to the preparation of the Company’s financial statements. Specifically, the Company did not design and maintain: (i) user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and to adequately restrict user and privileged access to appropriate personnel; (ii) program change management controls to ensure that program and data changes are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately, (iii) computer operations controls to ensure that processing and transfer of data, and data backups and recovery are monitored; and (iv) program development controls to ensure that new software development is tested, authorized and implemented appropriately.

These material weaknesses did not result in a misstatement to any of the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements. However, these material weaknesses could result in a misstatement of substantially all account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

Status of Remediation Plan

In response to the identification of the material weaknesses, our management team has established a remediation plan to address the material weaknesses. Our remediation plan during 2025 includes, but is not limited to, establishing more robust processes to support our internal control over financial reporting, which includes designing and implementing controls and processes to facilitate effective financial reporting, along with accurate documentation and timely support.

The Company is committed to remediating the material weaknesses and the actions the Company is taking are subject to ongoing senior management review, as well as oversight from the Company’s Audit Committee. The Company will not be able to fully remediate these material weaknesses until these steps have been completed and operate effectively for a sufficient period of time. The Company may also identify additional measures that may be required to remediate the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, necessitating further action.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
