Q1 2022 Letter to Shareholders May 3, 2022


 
Dear Shareholders, During Q1, we made strong progress on our technology development including a continuation of our Driver Out operations. When we launched our first fully autonomous semi-truck run on open public roads in December of 2021, we knew it was just the beginning. We will continue to expand our driverless operations over the next two years. We will release more precise milestone timing in the coming weeks, but we have laid out some of our near-term objectives, including: TuSimple has entered the Driver Out era, a necessary step for every autonomous driving company to reach commercialization. In this new era, we are focusing on increasing efficiency through expanding our operational design domain and optimizing our operations so we can deliver a world class product to our customers. 2 TuSimple Letter to Shareholders Q1 Highlights  Continued Driver Out operations including refinement of our Minimum Risk Condition capabilities which are critical to removing support vehicles from our operations  Announced an advanced Integration with Werner Enterprises to provide roadside service and support  Expanded our dedicated AFN terminal footprint to Ryder facilities in Houston and Laredo preparing for Driver Out operations in Texas  Increased reservations by 500 in Q1 from blue chip customers, such as Loadsmith, for a total of 7,475 reservations  Taken steps to strengthen Corporate Governance TuSimple Drives Toward L4 Commercialization Key Operating Metrics 12/31/2021 3/31/2022 QoQ Growth % R&D FTEs ~1,100 ~1,100 Flat Global FTEs ~1,400 ~1,400 Flat Patents Issued 387 408 ~5% Cumulative Road Miles ~6.3M ~7.2M ~14% TuSimple’s Technology Key Operating Metrics The Path to Driver Out Commercialization by End of 2023 Day and night operations Additional Driver Out routes, including in Texas Removing the support vehicles Hauling customer freight on driverless runs Significant reductions in cost per mile, with clear line of sight to cost parity with human-driven trucks


 
Continued Driver Out Operations with Enhanced Features In Q1, we continued to conduct Driver Out operations including systematically refining features that are planned to make our operations more efficient and scalable. For example, we refined our Minimal Risk Condition (MRC) capabilities, including our Autonomous Driving System’s ability to pull the vehicle over to the side of the road in certain scenarios such as a partial system degradation. To test this MRC capability, we first ran trials in simulations and our entire validation suite on closed tracks. Finally, we started Driver Out test runs in which we deliberately triggered an MRC command while the vehicle was in operation on an open public roadway on Interstate 10 in Tucson, AZ. Our semi-truck identified a safe place to pull over alongside the highway, lowered its vehicle speed in lane and then pulled itself to the side of the roadway. This maneuver can be particularly difficult given that a highway shoulder is generally an uneven mix of pavement and gravel, and various non-standard objects that can make parts of the shoulder unsafe. Validating our MRC capabilities is an important step to ultimately removing the chase van from our Driver Out operations. Introducing Collaborative Mapping We recently launched Collaborative Mapping, a new fleet mapping ability in which all our semi- trucks on an origin - destination pair are capable of sharing information with each other using sophisticated vehicle-to-cloud-to-vehicle communication. Optimizing Our Proprietary L4 Technology The trucks can share dynamic events efficiently with other trucks along the route, identifying emergency lane vehicles, pedestrians and other situations. Receiving this information allots the following trucks advanced notice and better information to incorporate into the vehicle planning system. For example, the trucks can plan a lane change to avoid an emergency lane vehicle long before a camera or LiDAR can sense the emergency lane vehicle. As we scale up operations, the larger number of trucks on a particular route is designed to increase the benefits gained from Collaborative Mapping, enhancing safety. Our Patent Portfolio Continues to Expand with Valuable Proprietary Technology In Q1, our industry-leading commercial vehicle AV patent portfolio expanded with 21 new patents issued. Our patent portfolio is focused on technology designed specifically for autonomous trucking and included 408 issued patents at the end of Q1. New patents granted this quarter include protections for essential technologies, such as enhanced techniques of predicting the behavior of other vehicles on the road, efficient image processing that reduces processing requirements, and improved vehicle communications with roadside networks so that objects that would not otherwise have been directly visible from the vehicle can be detected and safely maneuvered around. We have also continued to create important intellectual property for other technologies, which we aim to protect via trade secrets. 3

5 Preparing for Driverless Operations by Expanding Our AFN Ecosystem with Ryder In Q1, we added two additional AFN terminals in Houston and Laredo, TX co-located at Ryder maintenance facilities in prime freight locations. These terminals will serve as start and end points on our AFN, provide bundled maintenance services to support commercialization, and provide a continuously operational access point for our customers. By working with Ryder, we were able to move quickly and in a capital-light way to add these two strategically located AFN terminals. Building out our dedicated terminal network in Texas is an important step to prepare for expansion of our Driver Out operations. TuSimple Integrates with Werner Enterprises to Add Roadside Assistance Services to Support Driver Out Operations We announced an integration with Werner Enterprises’ roadside service network to support Driver Out operations on our AFN. Werner Enterprises’ nationwide network of 24/7 support will play a fundamental role in providing immediate assistance for autonomous trucks in the event they require expedited service. Carriers will have their choice of service and support providers, including their preferred dealership, aftermarket service provider, or at a Werner Enterprises authorized service center. This is a critical step for our Driver Out commercialization as we must ensure that our customers receive benchmark service in the event of a service issue.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures TuSimple has not reconciled its expectations for non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, because the stock-based compensation expense excluded from such items cannot be reasonably calculated or predicated at this time. The effect of the excluded stock-based compensation may be significant. TuSimple believes the non-GAAP measures calculated herein provide meaningful information to assist investors in understanding financial results and assessing prospects for future performance as they provide a better baseline for analyzing the ongoing performance of its business by excluding items that may not be indicative of core operating results. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these measures with other companies’ non-GAAP measures having the same or similar names. Thus, TuSimple’s non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or in isolation from, the company’s GAAP results. TuSimple encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view its non-GAAP measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures.
