Rivian Automotive lowered its earnings forecast for the year after missing Wall Street’s third-quarter expectations, including a significant miss in revenue.

Here’s how the company performed in the quarter, compared with average estimates compiled by LSEG:

  • Loss per share: 99 cents adjusted vs. a loss of 92 cents expected
  • Revenue: $874 million vs. $990 million expected

Rivian said it now expects adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization of between a loss of $2.83 billion and a loss of $2.88 billion loss. That compares to a previous guidance of roughly $2.7 billion loss.

Rivian reconfirmed plans Thursday to achieve a “modest positive gross profit” during the fourth quarter of this year. The company reported a negative gross profit of $392 million for the third quarter compared with a loss of $477 million a year earlier.

The automaker’s net loss narrowed year-over-year to $1.1 billion compared to $1.37 billion during the third quarter of 2023. Its revenue compared to a year ago dropped by 34.6% amid supplier disruptions that impacted the company’s production.

Rivian last month lowered its annual production forecast from 57,000 units to between 47,000 and 49,000 due to the disruption.
