Excluding the redeemable non-controlling interests, the Company indirectly held 100% of the equity interests of NIO Holding as of September 30, 2021.

In accordance with the Article of Association of XPT NJWL, the Company has the power to control the board of directors of XPT NJWL to unilaterally govern the financial and operating policies of XPT NJWL and the non-controlling shareholder does not have substantive participating rights, therefore, the Group consolidates this entity.

Variable interest entity

NIO Technology Co., Ltd (“NIO SHTECH”) was established by Li Bin and Qin Lihong (the “Nominee Shareholders”) in November 2014. In 2015, NIO SH, NIO SHTECH, and the Nominee Shareholders of NIO SHTECH entered into a series of contractual agreements, including a loan agreement, an equity pledge agreement, an exclusive call option agreement and a power of attorney that irrevocably authorized the Nominee Shareholders designated by NIO SH to exercise the equity owner’s rights over NIO SHTECH. These agreements provided the Company, as the only shareholder of NIO SH, with effective control over NIO SHTECH to direct the activities that most significantly impact NIO SHTECH’s economic performance and enabled the Company to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits arising from NIO SHTECH. Management concluded that NIO SHTECH was a variable interest entity of the Company and the Company was the ultimate primary beneficiary of NIO SHTECH and hence consolidated the financial results of NIO SHTECH in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. In April 2018, the above mentioned contractual agreements were terminated. On the same day, NIO SHTECH became a subsidiary wholly owned by Shanghai Anbin Technology Co., Ltd. (“NIO ABTECH”), who also became a VIE of the Group on that day, according to a series of contractual arrangements with the Nominee Shareholders as well as NIO ABTECH, including a loan agreement, an equity pledge agreement, an exclusive call option agreement and a power of attorney that irrevocably authorized the Nominee Shareholders designated by NIO SH to exercise the equity owner’s rights over NIO ABTECH. These agreements provided the Company, as the only shareholder of NIO SH, with effective control over NIO ABTECH to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance and enabled the Company to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits arising from them. Management concluded that NIO ABTECH was a variable interest entity of the Company and the Company was the ultimate primary beneficiary of NIO ABTECH and hence consolidated the financial results of NIO ABTECH in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. On March 31, 2021, NIO SH, NIO ABTECH and each shareholder of NIO ABTECH entered into agreement to terminate all above mentioned contractual agreements among NIO SH, NIO ABTECH and its shareholders, after which, the Company no longer has effective control over NIO ABTECH, receives any economic benefits of NIO ABTECH, has an exclusive option to purchase all or part of the equity interests in NIO ABTECH when and to the extent permitted by the PRC law, or consolidates the financial results of NIO ABTECH and its subsidiaries as the Company’s variable interest entity. Since NIO SHTECH did not have significant operations, nor any material assets or liabilities in history, the deconsolidation of NIO ABTECH and its subsidiaries did not have significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2018, NIO SH entered into a series of contractual arrangements with the Nominee Shareholders as well as NIO BJTECH, including a loan agreement, an equity pledge agreement, an exclusive call option agreement and a power of attorney that irrevocably authorized the Nominee Shareholders designated by NIO SH to exercise the equity owner’s rights over NIO BJTECH. These agreements provide the Company, as the only shareholder of NIO SH, with effective control over NIO BJTECH to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance and enable the Company to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits arising from NIO BJTECH. Management concluded that NIO BJTECH is a variable interest entity of the Company and the Company is the ultimate primary beneficiary of NIO BJTECH and hence consolidates the financial results of NIO BJTECH in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2021, NIO BJTECH did not have significant operations, nor any material assets or liabilities.

In October 2014, Prime Hubs, a British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) incorporated company and a consolidated variable interest entity of the Group, was established by the shareholders of the Group to facilitate the adoption of the Company’s employee stock incentive plans. The Company entered into a management agreement with Prime Hubs and Li Bin. The agreement provides the Company with effective control over Prime Hubs and enables the Company to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits arising from Prime Hubs. As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2021, Prime Hubs held 4,250,002 Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company, respectively.

Liquidity and Going Concern

The Group’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Group will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and, accordingly, will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they come due.

The Group has been incurring losses from operations since inception. The Group incurred net losses of RMB3.9 billion and RMB1.9 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively. Accumulated deficit amounted to RMB51.6 billion and RMB53.5 billion as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

(All amounts in thousands, except for share and per share data)

As of September 30, 2021, the Group’s balance of cash and cash equivalents was RMB21.6 billion and the Group had net current assets of RMB27.7 billion. Management has evaluated the sufficiency of its working capital and concluded that the Group’s available cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, cash generated from operations will be sufficient to support its continuous operations and to meet its payment obligations when liabilities fall due within the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, management continues to prepare the Group’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements on going concern basis.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of presentation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Significant accounting policies followed by the Group in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized below. The interim financial data as of September 30, 2021 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2021 is unaudited. In the opinion of management, the interim financial data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.

(b) Principles of consolidation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and the VIE for which the Company is the ultimate primary beneficiary.

A subsidiary is an entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power; has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors (the “Board”): to cast majority of votes at the meeting of the Board or to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee under a statute or agreement among the shareholders or equity holders.

A VIE is an entity in which the Company, or its subsidiary, through contractual arrangements, bears the risks of, and enjoys the rewards normally associated with, ownership of the entity, and therefore the Company or its subsidiary is the primary beneficiary of the entity.

All significant transactions and balances between the Company, its subsidiaries and the VIE have been eliminated upon consolidation. The non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries are shown separately in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

(c) Use of estimates

The preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, and the reported revenue and expenses during the reported period in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s consolidated financial statements mainly include, but are not limited to, standalone selling price of each distinct performance obligation in revenue recognition, the valuation and recognition of share-based compensation arrangements, depreciable lives of property, equipment and software, assessment for impairment of long-lived assets, inventory valuation for excess and obsolete inventories, lower of cost and net realizable value of inventories, valuation of deferred tax assets, current expected credit loss of receivables, as well as warranty liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(d) Functional currency and foreign currency translation

The Group’s reporting currency is the Renminbi (“RMB”). The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries which are incorporated in HK is United States dollars (“US$”), except NIO Sport which operates mainly in United Kingdom and uses Great Britain pounds (“GBP”). The functional currencies of the other subsidiaries and the VIE are their respective local currencies. The determination of the respective functional currency is based on the criteria set out by ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters.

Transactions denominated in currencies other than in the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currency are re-measured using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

The financial statements of the Group’s entities of which the functional currency is not RMB are translated from their respective functional currency into RMB. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into RMB at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts other than earnings generated in current period are translated into RMB at the appropriate historical rates. Income and expense items are translated into RMB using the periodic average exchange rates. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded in other comprehensive loss in the consolidated statements of comprehensive gain or loss, and the accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments are presented as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated statements of shareholders’ (deficit)/equity. Total foreign currency translation adjustment income/(losses) were an income of RMB104,920 and a loss of RMB168,944 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The grant-date fair value of the Group’s share-based compensation expenses is reported in US$ as the respective valuation is conducted in US$ as the shares are denominated in US$.

(e) Convenience translation

Translations of balances in the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of comprehensive loss and consolidated statements of cash flows from RMB into US$ as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are solely for the convenience of the reader and were calculated at the rate of US$1.00 = RMB6.4434, representing the noon buying rate in The City of
