The following table sets forth the average turnover days of our receivables for the periods indicated:

​
Average turnover days of receivables(1)
​ ​ ​ ​ 79.9 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 51.9 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 57.7 ​ ​
​
Note:
(1)
Turnover days of receivables is derived by dividing the arithmetic mean of the opening and closing balances of receivables for the relevant period by revenue and multiplying by 365 days or the numbers of days for the given period.
​
Our average receivables turnover days decreased in 2020 primarily due to the quick settlement of receivables and increased revenue with cash collection received in advance. Our average receivables turnover days increased in the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to the increase of auto financing receivables under auto financing arrangement.
Approximately RMB1,116.2 million, or 12.6%, of our receivables as of December 31, 2021 had been subsequently settled as of March 31, 2022. There are no significant recoverability issues for the Group’s trade receivables aged over 180 days as the majority of receivables include amounts of vehicle sales in relation to government subsidy to be collected from government on behalf of customers. However, we have provided current expected credit loss of RMB85.8 million, RMB30.9 million and RMB11.8 million against the carrying value of receivables aged over 180 days as at December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively, by taking consideration of historical loss and forward looking factors under the current expected credit loss model.
Trade Credit Policy
We generally receive payment in advance before we deliver vehicles or provide services to users. Sometimes we provide auto financing programs to users. In addition, we previously also provided battery instalment program to users.
Our suppliers generally extend to us credit terms of up to 90 days. The availability of credit and the credit terms extended to us differ from supplier to supplier depending on, among others, the size of our order and the length of our relationship with the particular supplier.
Inventory
Our inventories include raw materials we purchase from suppliers, our finished goods, merchandise and work in progress. See Note 2(k) to the financial statements in the 2021 Form 20-F for further details of our accounting policies on inventory.
Our inventory consists of the following:

​
Our average turnover days decreased in the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2021 primarily due to the acceleration of inventory turnover.
Approximately RMB1,757.8 million, or 85.4%, of our inventories as of December 31, 2021 had been subsequently used or sold as of March 31, 2022.
Short-term investments
Our short-term investments consist primarily of investments in fixed deposits with maturities between three months and one year and investments in money market funds and financial products issued by banks. As of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, our short-term investments amounted to RMB111.0 million, RMB3,950.7 million and RMB37,057.6 million, respectively. The increase of short-term investments as of December 31, 2021 compared with December 31, 2020 was primarily due to our increased investments in financial products issued by banks for cash management. See Note 2(h) to the financial statements in the 2021 Form 20-F for further details of our accounting policies on short-term investments. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, income from these short-term investments amounted to RMB73.8 million, RMB31.8 million and RMB523.0 million (US$82.1 million), respectively.
Long-term investments
Our long-term investments consist primarily of our investments in debt and equity securities. As of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, our long-term investments amounted to RMB115.3 million, RMB300.1 million and RMB3,059.4 million (US$480.1 million), respectively.
The increase of long-term investments as at December 31, 2020 compared with December 31, 2019 was mainly due to the increase of equity method investment in the Battery Asset Company.
The increase of long-term investments as at December 31, 2021 compared with December 31, 2020 was mainly due to (i) the increase of equity method investments, among which RMB270 million was made in the

​
Battery Asset Company; (ii) the increase of investments in time deposits in commercial banks of RMB1,300 million, which were classified as held-to-maturity debt securities; and (iii) the increase of investment in available-for-sale debt securities, amounted to RMB650 million, which was made in a private company in the industry chain.
Trade and notes payable
Our trade and notes payable consist primarily of payables of purchase of goods and services in our operations. As of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, our trade and notes payable amounted to RMB3,111.7 million, RMB6,368.3 million and RMB12,639.0 million (US$1,983.3 million), respectively. The increase of trade and notes payable was mainly due to increased purchase of goods and services in line with our increased business growth.
Accruals and other liabilities
Our accruals and other liabilities consist primarily of payables for purchase of property and equipment, advance from customers, payable for R&D expenses, and payables for marketing events, etc. As of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, our accruals and other liabilities amounted to RMB4,216.6 million, RMB4,604.0 million and RMB7,201.6 million (US$1,130.1 million), respectively. The increase of accruals and other liabilities as at December 31, 2020 compared with December 31, 2019 was mainly due to increased payable to employees for options exercised and advance from customers, slightly offset by decrease of payables for purchase of property and equipment. The increase of accruals and other liabilities as at December 31, 2021 compared with December 31, 2020 was mainly due to payables for purchase of property and equipment, payable for R&D expenses and salaries and benefits payable, slightly offset by decrease of payables to employees for options exercised.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flows and Working Capital
As of February 28, 2022, we had a total cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments of RMB52,647.4 million; we had a total of RMB52,698.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash (including non-current restricted cash) and short-term investments. As of February 28, 2022, our principal sources of liquidity have been proceeds from issuances of equity securities, our notes offering, cash flow from business operations and our bank facilities. As at February 28, 2022, our material sources of unused liquidity available include RMB11,829.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, RMB37,780.4 million in short-term investments and RMB30,757.9 million in undrawn credit facilities, which are available to fund our working capital and capital expenditures. We believe this level of liquidity is sufficient to successfully navigate an extended period of uncertainty.
As of February 28, 2022, we had RMB10,682.3 million in total long-term borrowings outstanding, consisting primarily of the 2024 Notes, 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes, portions of the asset-backed securities, and our long-term bank debt. As of February 28, 2022, our total borrowings, including current borrowings and non-current borrowings, were RMB17,262.5 million, primarily consisting of convertible notes of RMB10,563.3 million, bank loans of RMB5,635.5 million, asset-backed securities of RMB604.6 million and loan from joint investor of RMB459.1 million.
As of December 31, 2021, approximately US$165.3 million principal amount of the 2024 Notes were outstanding. Based on the outstanding principal amount of our convertible notes and the highest conversion

Our net current assets were RMB33,245.0 million as of February 28, 2022, as compared to our net current assets of RMB34,443.2 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily due to decrease in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investment of RMB2,738.3 million, as a whole, mainly as a result of our cash used in operating and investing activities.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was RMB1,966.4 million (US$308.6 million) in 2021, primarily attributable to a net loss of RMB4,016.9 million (US$630.3 million), adjusted for (i) non-cash items of RMB3,290.6 million (US$516.4 million), which primarily consisted of depreciation and amortization of RMB1,708.0 million (US$268.0 million), share-based compensation expenses of RMB1,010.1 million (US$158.5 million), amortization of right-of-use assets of RMB643.9 million (US$101.0 million) and expected credit loss expense of RMB54.3 million (US$8.5 million), (ii) a net decrease in operating assets and liabilities by RMB2,692.7 million (US$422.6 million), which was primarily attributable to an increase in trade and notes payable of RMB6,260.3 million (US$982.4 million), an increase in accrual and other current liabilities of RMB2,485.1 million (US$390.0 million), an increase in other non-current liabilities of RMB1,778.4 million (US$279.1 million), an increase in taxes payable of RMB447.0 million (US$70.1 million) and an increase in amount due to related parties of RMB342.6 million (US$53.8 million) mainly for purchase of battery swapping equipment from Kunshan Siwopu Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., which was partially offset by, among others, an increase in trade and notes receivable of RMB1,717.7 million (US$269.6 million), an increase in amount due from related parties of RMB1,444.1 million (US$226.6 million) mainly for sales of

SHARE OWNERSHIP
​
​ ​
The following section sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our ordinary shares as of the Latest Practicable Date (April 30, 2022). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the 2021 Form 20-F.
​ ​
Except as otherwise noted, the following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our ordinary shares as at the Latest Practicable Date (other than information relating to the principal shareholders which is based on the latest public filings made by principal shareholders) by:
•
each of our directors and executive officers; and
​
•
each person known to us who owns beneficially more than 5% of our total outstanding shares (including Class A ordinary shares and Class C ordinary shares).
​
The calculations in the table below are based on 1,670,533,635 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, comprising 1,522,033,635 Class A ordinary shares (excluding 21,766,275 Class A ordinary shares issued and reserved for future issuance upon the exercising or vesting of awards granted under our Stock Incentive Plans) and 148,500,000 Class C ordinary share as at the Latest Practicable Date (other than information relating to the principal shareholders which is based on the latest public filings made by principal shareholders).
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we have included shares that the person has the right to acquire within 60 days after the Latest Practicable Date, including through the exercise of any option, warrant, or other right or the conversion of any other security. These shares, however, are not included in the computation of the percentage ownership of any other person.
