We reserve inventory for any excess or obsolete inventories or when we believe the net realizable value of inventories is less than the carrying value.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company recorded inventory reserves of $70.1 million and $77.0 million, respectively. During 2021, the Company significantly increased its inventory reserves due to its decision to produce the C-1000 vehicle platform at low-volume and transition to a new all-electric delivery truck platform in the future. This decision was based on results of extensive testing performed on the C-1000 vehicles, which concluded in early 2022. The $6.9 million decrease in inventory reserves as compared to December 31, 2021 is primarily driven by the Company’s efforts to dispose of inventory that is not expected to be used in future production.
