Polestar has recently secured a substantial $950 million in external funding from a group of 12 international banks. This funding, part of a three-year loan facility, will fuel the company’s ambitious growth plans. Geely Sweden Holdings has also pledged to support Polestar in future financing activities as needed.
The funds will primarily be used to drive the global rollout of two new SUV models, with the aim of boosting both volume and profit margins in the latter half of the year. Polestar is on track to achieve cash flow break-even by 2025, with progress already being made towards this goal through the expansion of its model range and increased sales worldwide.
Geely Holding Group CEO and Polestar Board Member, Daniel Li, highlighted Geely’s dedication to providing operational and financial backing to Polestar. This commitment includes ensuring access to cutting-edge technology and engineering expertise. The financing agreement is accompanied by an efficiency program that involves job cuts and other measures to strengthen Polestar’s overall business strategy.
With the new shareholder structure, Geely Sweden Holdings will become the second-largest shareholder in Polestar, while Volvo Cars will retain an 18% stake. This injection of funding represents a major milestone in Polestar’s journey, laying a solid foundation for future growth and expansion opportunities ahead.
