CEO and CFO Comments

 

"We set new record-high quarterly deliveries of 25,768 vehicles in the first quarter of 2022, and hit the milestone of exceeding 200,000 vehicle deliveries in May within four years since our first delivery," said William Bin Li, founder, chairman and chief executive officer of NIO. "Despite the volatilities of supply chain and the challenges in vehicle delivery resulting from the recent COVID-19 resurgence, we witnessed robust demand for our complementary products and achieved an all-time high order inflow in May 2022. On April 29, 2022, the first batch of tooling trial builds of the ET5 rolled off the production line at the new manufacturing plant at NeoPark in Hefei. We expect to start delivery of the ET5 in September 2022. In addition, we will further enhance our product offering by introducing the ES7, a new mid-to-large five-seater SUV based on NIO Technology 2.0 (NT2.0), in June and expect to start its delivery in late August," concluded Mr. Li.

"NIO successfully listed on the Main Board of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited on May 20, 2022, further strengthening our footing in the global capital markets," added Steven Wei Feng, chief financial officer of NIO. "To quickly recover from the COVID-19 impact and fulfill the growing market demand, we have been working closely with supply chain partners to ramp up the production capacity and accelerate the vehicle delivery since the beginning of June. While making decisive investments in new products, technologies and businesses, we strive to continuously optimize our cost structure, improve operating efficiency and create long-term value for our shareholders."

 

Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2022

 

Revenues

 

·Total revenues in the first quarter of 2022 were RMB9,910.6 million (US$1,563.4 million), representing an increase of 24.2% from the first quarter of 2021 and an increase of 0.1% from the fourth quarter of 2021.

 

·Vehicle sales in the first quarter of 2022 were RMB9,244.0 million (US$1,458.2 million), representing an increase of 24.8% from the first quarter of 2021 and an increase of 0.3% from the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in vehicle sales over the first quarter of 2021 was mainly attributed to higher deliveries. Vehicle sales remained stable compared with the fourth quarter of 2021.

The increase in other sales over the first quarter of 2021 was mainly attributed to the increased sales of service and energy packages and others in line with the incremental vehicle sales in the first quarter of 2022, which was partially offset by the decrease of revenues from battery upgrade services. Other sales remained stable compared with the fourth quarter of 2021.

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin

 

·Cost of sales in the first quarter of 2022 was RMB8,463.7 million (US$1,335.1 million), representing an increase of 31.7% from the first quarter of 2021 and an increase of 3.2% from the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in cost of sales over the first quarter of 2021 and the fourth quarter of 2021 was mainly driven by the increase of delivery volume in the first quarter of 2022.

 

·Gross Profit in the first quarter of 2022 was RMB1,446.8 million (US$228.2 million), representing a decrease of 6.9% from the first quarter of 2021 and a decrease of 14.9% from the fourth quarter of 2021.

 

·Gross margin in the first quarter of 2022 was 14.6%, compared with 19.5% in the first quarter of 2021 and 17.2% in the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease of gross margin over the first quarter of 2021 was attributed to the decrease of vehicle margin and the reduction in other sales margin resulting from the expanded investment in power and service network. The decrease of gross margin over the fourth quarter of 2021 was mainly attributed to the decrease of vehicle margin.

 

·Vehicle margin in the first quarter of 2022 was 18.1%, compared with 21.2% in the first quarter of 2021 and 20.9% in the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease of vehicle margin over the first quarter of 2021 was mainly driven by the lower average selling price due to changes in our product mix. The decrease of vehicle margin over the fourth quarter of 2021 was mainly attributed to the increased battery cost per unit.

 

Operating Expenses

 

·Research and development expenses in the first quarter of 2022 were RMB1,761.7 million (US$277.9 million), representing an increase of 156.6% from the first quarter of 2021 and a decrease of 3.7% from the fourth quarter of 2021. Excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP), research and development expenses were RMB1,514.1 million (US$238.8 million), representing an increase of 132.9% from the first quarter of 2021 and a decrease of 7.6% from the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in research and development expenses over the first quarter of 2021 was mainly attributed to the increased personnel costs in research and development functions as well as the incremental design and development costs for new products and technologies. Research and development expenses remained relatively stable compared with the fourth quarter of 2021.

·Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2022 were RMB2,014.8 million (US$317.8 million), representing an increase of 68.3% from the first quarter of 2021 and a decrease of 14.6% from the fourth quarter of 2021. Excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP), selling, general and administrative expenses were RMB1,801.5 million (US$284.2 million), representing an increase of 57.9% from the first quarter of 2021 and a decrease of 16.7% from the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses over the first quarter of 2021 was primarily due to the increase in personnel costs in sales and service functions and costs related to sales and service network expansion. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses over the fourth quarter of 2021 was mainly attributed to the decrease in marketing and promotional expenses, especially the marketing and promotional expenses incurred from the hosting of NIO Day in December 2021, as well as the decrease of professional services expenses.

·Loss from operations in the first quarter of 2022 was RMB2,188.7 million (US$345.3 million), representing an increase of 639.7% from the first quarter of 2021 and a decrease of 10.5% from the fourth quarter of 2021.

The increase in share-based compensation expenses over the first quarter of 2021 and the fourth quarter of 2021 was primarily attributed to the grant of options and restricted shares on a continued basis.

Non-GAAP Disclosure

 

The Company uses non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted cost of sales (non-GAAP), adjusted research and development expenses (non-GAAP), adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses (non-GAAP), adjusted loss from operations (non-GAAP), adjusted net loss (non-GAAP), adjusted net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders (non-GAAP), adjusted basic and diluted net loss per share (non-GAAP) and adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ADS (non-GAAP), in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. The Company defines adjusted cost of sales (non-GAAP), adjusted research and development expenses (non-GAAP), adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses (non-GAAP), adjusted loss from operations (non-GAAP) and adjusted net loss (non-GAAP) as cost of sales, research and development expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses, loss from operations and net loss excluding share-based compensation expenses. The Company defines adjusted net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders (non-GAAP), adjusted basic and diluted net loss per share (non-GAAP) and adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ADS (non-GAAP) as net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, basic and diluted net loss per share and basic and diluted net loss per ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses and accretion on redeemable non-controlling interests to redemption value. By excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses and accretion on redeemable non-controlling interests to redemption value, the Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business and enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects. The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making.

The non-GAAP financial measures are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and when assessing the Company’s operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for net loss or other consolidated statements of comprehensive loss data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

 

The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance.

 

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this press release.
