The company had originally planned to release its postponed fourth-quarter results in March, reported Reuters.

For the third-quarter, Polestar saw a 10% year-over-year decrease in revenue, dropping to $550.7 million, primarily due to reduced volume and market conditions. Retail sales totaled 12,548 vehicles, marking an 8% decline compared to the previous year.

It also reported a net loss of $323 million, while its adjusted EBITDA loss improved by 28%, reaching $180 million, thanks to cost-cutting measures.

The company said lower-than-expected Polestar 3 and 4 sales, inventory adjustments and market discounting impacted fourth-quarter performance.

In order to attract Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) customers who have harbored negative sentiments about Musk’s involvement in politics, Polestar is providing up to $20,000 to Tesla vehicle owners who decide to switch and lease a Polestar 3.
