Monitor progress on the Future Agreements (Exclusive Manufacturing Supply Agreement, IP licenses) and the First Funding Milestone (Critical Design Review Completion). The JV structure is a positive signal for Joby's manufacturing pathway, but the absence of hard dollar commitments for future capital contributions and the reliance on FAA certifications introduce timeline uncertainty. Watch for any delays in regulatory approvals (CFIUS, HSR) that could push out the second $250M Toyota tranche.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Joby Aviation's subsidiary formed a joint venture with Toyota Motor Corporation to establish JTAMPC, a manufacturing entity for Joby's S4 Series eVTOL aircraft. Toyota holds a 51% stake ($1.02M initial contribution) and Joby holds 49% ($980K), with a 5-person board (3 Toyota, 2 Joby). The JV is a critical step toward commercial production, but the material financial terms (future capital contributions, exclusive manufacturing supply agreement, and IP licenses) remain to be negotiated in 'Future Agreements' before the First Funding Milestone, creating execution risk.
Key Financial Metrics
Key Facts
- Joint venture JTAMPC formed between Joby subsidiary and Toyota to manufacture the S4 Series eVTOL aircraft.
- Toyota acquired 51% (1,020,000 shares) for $1,020,000; Joby acquired 49% (980,000 shares) for $980,000.
- Board consists of 5 directors: 3 designated by Toyota, 2 by Joby, subject to ownership thresholds.
- Key Future Agreements (Exclusive Manufacturing Supply Agreement, IP Agreements, commercial agreements) must be negotiated and executed before the First Funding Milestone can be funded.
- Satisfaction of Section 5(j) of the A&R SPA (a closing condition for Toyota's second $250M tranche investment) requires the Future Agreements to be in effect.
- Mandatory capital contributions for three funding milestones (Critical Design Review, FAA Type Inspection Authorization, Type Certification) have dollar amounts TBD in the Amended Stockholders Agreement.
- Toyota has termination rights if Joby fails to maintain FAA type/production certification or if the FAA does not approve JTAMPC as an associate facility.
- The JV may require HSR Act and CFIUS approvals.
Financial Impact
Initial capital contributions total $2.0M ($1.02M from Toyota, $980K from Joby). Future mandatory capital contributions are undisclosed amounts tied to regulatory milestones. The JV unlocks the second $250M tranche from Toyota under the A&R SPA.
Risk Factors
- Failure to negotiate and execute Future Agreements could terminate the JV and delay the second $250M Toyota investment.
- FAA certification delays (Type Inspection Authorization, Type Certificate) could prevent funding milestones from being achieved within the 12-30 month windows.
- Toyota has termination rights tied to Joby maintaining FAA certifications and JTAMPC's associate facility status.
- CFIUS or HSR review could impose conditions or delay the JV's operations.
