Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIVN) has announced its fourth-quarter and full-year 2024 financial results, reporting a significant gross profit of $170 million in Q4. The positive financial performance was attributed to improved variable costs, higher revenue per vehicle, and efficient fixed cost management. The company remains optimistic about achieving modest gross profit in 2025.

Revenue Growth & Vehicle Production

Rivian achieved record revenue in Q4 2024, fueled by the sale of regulatory credits, increasing software and service revenue, and higher average selling prices for the R1 lineup due to the introduction of its Tri-Motor variant.

On the production front, Rivian built 12,727 vehicles at its Normal, Illinois facility in Q4, while delivering 14,183 units. For the full year, production totaled 49,476 vehicles, with 51,579 delivered. The company’s production capacity and efficiency improvements are expected to support future scalability.

Strategic Partnerships and Investments

A major highlight for Rivian in Q4 2024 was the completion of its joint venture with Volkswagen Group, known as Rivian and Volkswagen Group Technology. The deal, valued at up to $5.8 billion, includes $3.5 billion in proceeds expected over the next several years. The partnership will focus on developing next-generation electrical architecture and advanced software technology for upcoming EVs, starting with the highly anticipated Rivian R2.

Additionally, Rivian secured a loan agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Loan Programs Office (LPO) worth up to $6.6 billion. This capital will facilitate the construction of a new manufacturing facility in Georgia, projected to generate approximately 7,500 jobs. The financial backing from the Volkswagen deal, the DOE loan, and Rivian’s existing cash reserves is expected to provide stability for the company as it ramps up production of the R2 in Illinois and advances its midsize platform in Georgia.

Commercial Van Expansion

Rivian’s commercial electric van program also saw impressive growth in 2024. Over 1 billion Amazon packages were delivered in the U.S. using Rivian Electric Delivery Vans (EDVs). In February 2025, Rivian expanded sales of its commercial van to fleets of all sizes, increasing accessibility beyond Amazon. The Rivian Commercial Van, designed with safety, cost efficiency, and sustainability in mind, is expected to be a major player in the electric logistics market.

Outlook for 2025

Rivian has provided its 2025 guidance, forecasting vehicle deliveries between 46,000 and 51,000 units. The company expects an adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.7 billion to $1.9 billion, with capital expenditures estimated between $1.6 billion and $1.7 billion.
