The following is a quick overview of Tesla’s Q2 2024 earnings results.
REVENUE
In the second quarter of 2024, Tesla posted total revenues of $25.5 billion, with automotive revenues at $19.878 billion. FactSet consensus pointed to Tesla posting revenue of $24.5 billion in Q2 2024, while Zacks estimated Tesla to report $25.13 billion in revenue.
Overall, Tesla’s total revenue increased 2% year-over-year, thanks in part to factors such as growth in the company’s energy generation and storage business, Cybertruck deliveries, and higher regulatory credit revenue, among others.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Tesla’s non-GAAP earnings per share for the second quarter of 2024 was listed at $0.52, while GAAP EPS for Q2 2024 was listed at $0.42. In comparison, FactSet consensus suggested that Tesla would see earnings per share of $0.61 and Zacks expected quarterly earnings of $0.62 per share.
PROFITABILITY
Tesla posted $1.6 billion GAAP operating income in Q2 after restructuring and other charges of $600 million. The electric vehicle maker saw $1.5 billion in GAAP net income and $1.8 billion non-GAAP net income in Q2 2024.
Tesla noted that its operating income decreased year-over-year to $1.6 billion in Q2, resulting in a 6.3% operating margin. This was due in part to reduced S3XY vehicle ASP, restructuring charges, and an increase in operating expenses largely driven by AI projects, to name a few.
CASH
Tesla’s quarter-end cash, cash equivalents, and investments in the second quarter of 2024 was $30.7 billion. The company noted that the sequential increase of $3.9 billion was the result of positive free cash flow of $1.3 billion, which was, in turn, driven by an inventory decrease of $1.8 billion and partially offset by AI infrastructure capex of $600 million in Q2 2024.
Tesla, however, highlighted that it has “sufficient liquidity to fund our product roadmap, long-term capacity expansion plans, and other expenses.” The company also noted that it “will manage the business such that we maintain a strong balance sheet during this uncertain period.”
