Exhibit 99.1

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes incorporated in this offering memorandum by reference to our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on April 28, 2023, or the 2022 Form 20-F, our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our current report on Form 6-K furnished with the SEC on September 18, 2023, which is incorporated by reference into this offering memorandum, and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” in our 2022 Form 20-F. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties about our business and operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those we currently anticipate as a result of various factors, including those we describe under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this offering memorandum.

Overview

We are a pioneer and a leading company in the premium smart electric vehicle market. We design, develop, jointly manufacture and sell premium smart electric vehicles, driving innovations in autonomous driving, digital technologies, and electric powertrains and batteries. We differentiate ourselves through our continuous technological breakthroughs and innovations, such as our industry-leading battery swapping technologies, BaaS, as well as our proprietary autonomous driving technologies and ADaaS.

Our product portfolio currently consists of the ES8, a six-seater smart electric flagship SUV, the ES7 (or the EL7), a mid-large five-seater smart electric SUV, the ES6, a five-seater all-round smart electric SUV, the EC7, a five-seater smart electric flagship coupe SUV, the EC6, a five-seater smart electric coupe SUV, the ET7, a smart electric flagship sedan, the ET5, a mid-size smart electric sedan, and the ET5T, a smart electric tourer. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, we delivered 54,561 vehicles, including 20,922 premium smart electric SUVs and 33,639 premium smart electric sedans.

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Operations

The majority of our revenues are derived from sales of our vehicles in China. The COVID-19 pandemic has impact on China’s auto industry in general and our company and our partners as well, resulting in a reduction of vehicles manufactured and delivered in certain periods from 2020 to 2022. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow have been adversely affected.

Since December 2022, there has been an easing of the travel restrictions and quarantine requirements related to COVID-19 in China. However, there remains uncertainty as to the future impact of the pandemic. The extent to which the pandemic impacts our results of operations going forward will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and unpredictable, including the frequency, duration and extent of outbreaks of COVID-19, the appearance of new variants with different characteristics, the success or failure of efforts to contain or treat cases, and future actions we or the authorities may take in response to these developments. In addition, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected to the extent that the pandemic harms the Chinese economy in general. For more details, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.”

We currently generate revenues from vehicle sales, which represent revenues from sales of new vehicles, and other sales including (a) sales of packages and provision of power solutions, including the sales of our service package and energy package and provision of charging and battery swapping services, (b) sales of charging piles, including home chargers provided as one of our committed performance obligations in the contract of vehicle sales, and charging piles sold separately, (c) sales of automotive regulatory credits, (d) battery upgrade services, which represent the battery upgrade program for providing incremental battery capacity to the users; and (e) others, which mainly consist of revenues from sales of accessories, interest income from our auto financing arrangement, sales of used cars and other embedded products and services offered together with vehicle sales. Other embedded products and services include vehicle connectivity services, and extended warranty.

Revenue from sales of new vehicles, charging piles, battery upgrade services, automotive regulatory credits, sales of accessories and used cars are recognized when controls are transferred. For embedded vehicle connectivity services and battery swapping services offered together with vehicle sales, we recognize revenue using a straight-line method. As for the extended warranty, given our limited operating history and lack of historical data, we recognize revenue over time based on a straight-line method initially, and will continue monitoring the cost pattern periodically and adjust the revenue recognition pattern to reflect the actual cost pattern as it becomes available with more data. Revenues for our energy package or service package are recognized over time on a monthly basis as our users simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of the related package and the legally enforceable term is only one month.

For investees in which we held equity interests less than 20%, we can exercise significant influence over investees through participation and voting right in the board of directors or investment committee. For investees in which we held equity interests of 51.0%, we cannot determine the significant financial and operating decisions of this investee at our discretion according to the corporate governance documents.

Other sales mainly consist of revenues from sales of packages and provision of power solutions, sales of charging piles, battery upgrade services, automotive regulatory credits, accessories, used cars and other embedded products and services offered together with vehicle sales.

Six Months ended June 30, 2023 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

Revenues

Our revenues decreased by 3.7% from RMB20,203.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to RMB19,448.2 million (US$2,682.0 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily attributable to (i) a decrease in vehicle sales by RMB2,405.2 million, which was mainly due to lower average selling price as a result of higher proportion of ET5 and 75 kWh standard-range battery pack deliveries, partially offset by an increase in delivery volume; offset by (ii) an increase in other revenue by RMB1,650.4 million from sales of packages and provision of power solutions, accessories, used cars and others, which was in line with the incremental vehicle sales.

Cost of Sales

Our cost of sales increased by 10.2% from RMB17,415.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to RMB19,199.0 million (US$2,647.7 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023, mainly due to an increase in cost of other sales by RMB1,831.6 million, which is mainly due to (i) higher depreciation and operating cost from the expanded investment in our power and service network, (ii) an increase in cost from sales of accessories, and (iii) an increase in cost from sales of used cars.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased by 64.2% from RMB3,911.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to RMB6,420.2 million (US$885.4 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to the increased personnel costs in research and development functions of RMB1,868.0 million (US$257.6 million) as well as the incremental design and development costs of RMB271.6 million (US$37.5 million) for new products and technologies.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 23.4% from RMB4,297.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to RMB5,302.5 million (US$731.3 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to (i) increased employee compensation expense of RMB568.7 million (US$78.4 million) due to an increase in sales and general corporate functions, (ii) increased marketing and promotional expenses of RMB211.4 million (US$29.1 million) due to an increase in marketing and promotional activities to promote our vehicles in China and Europe, and (iii) increased rental and related expense of RMB152.7 million (US$21.1 million) mainly due to the sales and service network expansion of our company.

Loss from Operations

As a result of the foregoing, we incurred a loss from operations of RMB11,186.0 million (US$1,542.6 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to a loss of RMB5,034.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Interest and Investment Income

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded interest and investment income of RMB553.9 million (US$76.4 million), representing a decrease of 20.1% as compared to RMB693.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the decrease in short-term investments on average in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Interest Expense

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded interest expense of RMB151.1 million (US$20.8 million), as compared to interest expense of RMB142.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Share of (Loss)/Income of Equity Investees

We recorded share of income of equity investees of RMB24.2 million (US$3.3 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared with share of income of equity investee of RMB74.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the decreased share of income recorded from our equity investments measured under equity method.

Other (Loss)/Income, Net

We recorded other losses of RMB10.1 million (US$1.4 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to other losses of RMB103.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the increased income from reimbursements from the depositary bank.

Income Tax Expense

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows and Working Capital

As of June 30, 2023, we had a total of RMB29.6 billion (US$4.1 billion) in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash (including non-current restricted cash) and short-term investments. As of June 30, 2023, 66.6% of our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash (including non-current restricted cash) and short-term investments were denominated in Renminbi and held in PRC and Hong Kong, and the other cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash (including non-current restricted cash) and short-term investments were mainly denominated in US$ and held in the PRC, Hong Kong and United States. Our cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on hand, time deposits and highly liquid investments placed with banks, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use, and which have original maturities of three months or less.

As of June 30, 2023, we had bank facilities with an aggregated amount of RMB54,611.2 million (US$7,531.2 million), which consists of non-collateral based bank facilities of RMB18,441.9 million (US$2,543.3 million) and collateral-based bank facilities of RMB36,169.3 million (US$4,988.0 million). Out of the total non-collateral based bank facilities, RMB5,380.5 million (US$742.0 million), RMB1,750.0 million (US$241.3 million), and RMB990.0 million (US$136.5 million) were used for bank borrowing, issuance of letters of guarantee, and bank’s acceptance notes, respectively. Out of the total collateral-based bank facilities, RMB1,174.9 million (US$162.0 million), RMB4, 847.4 million (US$668.5 million), and RMB300.0 million (US$41.4 million) were used for issuance of letters of guarantee, bank’s acceptance notes and letter of credit, respectively.

As of June 30, 2023, we had RMB12,058.9 million (US$1,663.0 million) and RMB6,544.6 million (US$902.5 million) in total short-term and long-term borrowings outstanding, respectively. The borrowings outstanding primarily consisted of the 2024 Notes, 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes, the asset-backed notes, and our short-term and long-term bank debt. As of June 30, 2023, we had net current liabilities of RMB161.7 million (US$22.3 million).

The 2024 Notes are unsecured debt and are not redeemable by us prior to the maturity date except for certain changes in tax law. In accordance with the indenture governing the 2024 Notes, or the 2024 Notes Indenture, holders of the 2024 Notes may require us to purchase all or any portion of their notes on February 1, 2022 at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Such repurchase right offer expired on January 28, 2022. None of the noteholders exercised their repurchase right, and no notes were surrendered for repurchase. Holders of the 2024 Notes may also require us, upon a fundamental change (as defined in the 2024 Notes Indenture), to repurchase for cash all or part of their 2024 Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The holders of the 2024 Notes may convert their notes to a number of our ADSs at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the maturity date pursuant to the 2024 Notes indenture, at a conversion rate of 105.1359 ADSs per US$1,000 principal amount of the 2024 Notes. The 2024 Notes that are converted in connection with a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the 2024 Notes Indenture) may be entitled to an increase in the conversion rate for such 2024 Notes. In connection with the issuance of the 2024 Notes, we entered into capped call transactions and zero-strike call option transactions. Satisfying the obligations of the 2024 Notes could adversely affect the amount or timing of any distributions to our shareholders. As of June 30, 2023, approximately US$163.7 million principal amount of the 2024 Notes were outstanding. We may choose to satisfy, repurchase, or refinance the 2024 Notes through public or private equity or debt financings if we deem such financings available on favorable terms.

In January 2021, we issued US$750 million aggregate principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2026, or the 2026 Notes, and US$750 million aggregate principal amount of 0.50% convertible senior notes due 2027, or the 2027 Notes. The 2026 Notes and the 2027 Notes are unsecured debt. The 2026 Notes will not bear interest, and the principal amount of the 2026 Notes will not accrete. The 2027 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 0.50% per year. The 2026 Notes will mature on February 1, 2026 and the 2027 Notes will mature on February 1, 2027, unless repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. Prior to August 1, 2025, in the case of the 2026 Notes, and August 1, 2026, in the case of the 2027 Notes, the 2026 Notes and the 2027 Notes, as applicable, will be convertible at the option of the holders only upon satisfaction of certain conditions and during certain periods. Holders may convert their 2026 Notes or 2027 Notes, as applicable, at their option at any time on or after August 1, 2025, in the case of the 2026 Notes, or August 1, 2026, in the case of the 2027 Notes, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the relevant maturity date. Upon conversion, we will pay or deliver to such converting holders, as the case may be, cash, ADSs, or a combination of cash and ADSs, at our election. The initial conversion rate of the 2026 Notes is 10.7458 ADSs per US$1,000 principal amount of such 2026 Notes. The initial conversion rate of the 2027 Notes is 10.7458 ADSs per US$1,000 principal amount of such 2027 Notes. The relevant conversion rate for such series of the 2026 Notes and the 2027 Notes is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. Holders of the 2026 Notes and the 2027 Notes may require us to repurchase all or part of their 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes for cash on February 1, 2024, in the case of the 2026 Notes, and February 1, 2025, in the case of the 2027 Notes, or in the event of certain fundamental changes, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes or the 2027 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the relevant repurchase date. In addition, on or after February 6, 2024, in the case of the 2026 Notes, and February 6, 2025, in the case of the 2027 Notes, until the 20^th scheduled trading day immediately prior to the relevant maturity date, we may redeem the 2026 Notes or the 2027 Notes, as applicable for cash subject to certain conditions, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes or the 2027 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the relevant optional redemption date. Furthermore, we may redeem all but not part of the 2026 Notes or the 2027 Notes in the event of certain changes in the tax laws. Satisfying the obligations of the 2026 Notes and the 2027 Notes could adversely affect the amount or timing of any distributions to our shareholders. We may choose to satisfy, repurchase, or refinance the 2026 Notes or the 2027 Notes through public or private equity or debt financings if we deem such financings available on favorable terms.

Shortly after the pricing of the 2026 Notes and the 2027 Notes in January 2021, we entered into separate and individually privately negotiated agreements with certain holders of the 2024 Notes to exchange approximately US$581.7 million principal amount of the outstanding 2024 Notes for ADSs. The 2024 Notes Exchanges closed on January 15, 2021. In connection with the 2024 Notes Exchanges, we also entered into agreements with certain financial institutions that are parties to our existing capped call transactions (which we had entered into in February 2019 in connection with the issuance of the 2024 Notes) shortly after the pricing of the 2026 Notes and the 2027 Notes to terminate a portion of the relevant existing capped call transactions in a notional amount corresponding to the portion of the principal amount of such 2024 Notes exchanged. In connection with such terminations of the existing capped call transactions, we received deliveries of ADSs in such amounts as specified pursuant to such termination agreements on January 15, 2021.

In 2022, we repurchased an aggregate principal amount of US$192.9 million of 2026 Notes for a total cash consideration of US$170.5 million. As of June 30, 2023, based on the outstanding principal amount of the 2024 Notes, the 2026 Notes and the 2027 Notes and the highest conversion rate under each of the relevant indenture, the maximum number of ADSs that would be issued in connection with the outstanding convertible notes is approximately 43.0 million.

Our principal sources of liquidity have been proceeds from issuances of equity securities, our notes offerings, our bank facilities and cash flow from business operations. We have been applying a variety of methods to manage our working capital. We use just-in-time, pull-production system to control the inventory level of the components. We adopt made-to-order model and do not maintain a high level of inventories of vehicles. We aim to fulfill orders and deliver vehicles to our users within 21 to 28 days from the date users place their orders. We manage the payment term policy to suppliers to improve our cash position. For most of our suppliers, the payment term ranges from 30 to 90 days. Meanwhile, payment methods can be a combination of cash and notes payable.

We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance as of June 30, 2023 is sufficient to fund our operating activities, capital expenditures and other obligations for at least the next twelve months. However, we may decide to enhance our liquidity position or increase our cash reserve for future expansions and acquisitions through additional capital and/or finance funding. For example, in July 2023, we completed a US$738.5 million strategic equity financing from CYVN Entities. The issuance and sale of additional equity would result in further dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated.

Operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities was RMB11,596.8 million (US$1,599.3 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily attributable to a net loss of RMB10,795.3 million (US$1,488.7 million), adjusted for (i) non-cash items of RMB2,954.8 million (US$407.5 million), which primarily consisted of depreciation and amortization of RMB1,410.6 million (US$194.5 million), share-based compensation expenses of RMB1,199.4 million (US$165.4 million), and amortization of right-of-use assets of RMB628.8 million (US$86.7 million); (ii) a net decrease in changes in operating assets and liabilities by RMB3,756.3 million (US$518.0 million), which was primarily attributable to a decrease in trade and notes payable of RMB5,447.5 million (US$751.2 million) and an increase in trade and notes receivable of RMB548.7 million (US$75.7 million), which was partially offset by, among others, a decrease in other non-current assets of RMB1,583.6 million (US$218.4 million) and an increase in accruals and other liabilities of RMB746.8 million (US$103.0 million).

Investing activities

Our capital commitments are commitments in relation to the purchase of property and equipment including leasehold improvements.

Our operating and finance lease obligations consist of leases in relation to certain manufacturing plant, offices and buildings, NIO Houses and other property for our sales and after-sales network.

Our short-term and long-term borrowings represent borrowings with maturity from ten months to seven years.

Our convertible notes represent the 2024 Notes with outstanding principal amount of US$163.7 million as of June 30, 2023, the 2026 Notes with outstanding principal amount of US$557.1 million as of June 30, 2023 and the 2027 Notes with outstanding principal amount of US$750.0 million as of June 30, 2023, which will mature in February 2024, February 2026 and February 2027, respectively.

Our asset-backed securities and notes represent the proceeds from the issuance of debt securities and notes under asset-backed securitization arrangements with the principal amount of RMB77.0 million, RMB234.9 million and RMB486.0 million as of June 30, 2023, which will be mature in September 2023, March 2024 and June 2024, respectively.

We intend to fund our existing and future material cash requirements with our existing cash balance. We will continue to make cash commitments, including capital expenditures, to support the growth of our business.

Other than those shown above, we did not have any significant capital and other commitments, long-term obligations, mortgages and charges or guarantees as of June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, for the purpose of indebtedness, save as disclosed in our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in the 2022 Form 20-F, we did not have significant contingent liabilities. As of June 30, 2023, save as disclosed in this section, we did not have any significant bank overdrafts, loans and other similar indebtedness, liabilities under acceptances or acceptance credits, debentures, mortgages, charges hire purchase commitments or other outstanding material contingent liabilities.

Capital Expenditures

In the six months ended June 30, 2023, our capital expenditures were mainly used for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets which consisted primarily of mold and tooling, IT equipment, research and development equipment, leasehold improvements, consisting primarily of office space, NIO Houses and laboratory improvements as well as the roll-out of our power network, and equity investments. We made capital expenditures of RMB5,208.6 million (US$718.3 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2023. We expect our capital expenditures to continue to be significant in the foreseeable future as we expand our business, and that our level of capital expenditures will be significantly affected by user demand for our products and services. The fact that we have a limited operating history means we have limited historical data on the demand for our products and services. As a result, our future capital requirements may be uncertain and actual capital requirements may be different from those we currently anticipate. To the extent the proceeds of securities we have issued and cash flows from our business activities are insufficient to fund future capital requirements, we may need to seek equity or debt financing. We will continue to make capital expenditures to support the expected growth of our business.

Holding Company Structure

NIO Inc. is a holding company with no material operations of its own. We conduct our operations in China primarily through our PRC subsidiaries, and, to a much lesser extent, the VIEs. As a result, our ability to pay dividends depends significantly upon dividends paid by our PRC subsidiaries. If our existing PRC subsidiaries or any newly formed ones incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing their debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to us. In addition, our wholly foreign-owned subsidiaries in China are permitted to pay dividends to us only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Under PRC law, each of our subsidiaries and the VIEs and their subsidiaries in China is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain statutory reserve funds until such reserve funds reach 50% of its registered capital. In addition, each of our wholly foreign-owned subsidiaries in China may allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to enterprise expansion funds, staff bonuses and welfare funds at its discretion, and the VIEs may allocate a portion of their after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to a discretionary surplus fund at its discretion. The statutory reserve funds and the discretionary funds are not distributable as cash dividends. Remittance of dividends by a wholly foreign-owned company out of China is subject to examination by the banks designated by the SAFE. Our PRC subsidiaries have not paid dividends and will not be able to pay dividends until they generate accumulated profits and meet the requirements for statutory reserve funds. The VIEs did not have any material assets or liabilities as of June 30, 2023. In the future we expect (i) Beijing NIO to focus on value-added telecommunications services, including, without limitation, performing internet services as well as holding certain related licenses; (ii) Anhui NIO AT to focus on autonomous driving services, including, without limitation, performing certain services as well as holding certain related licenses; and (iii) Anhui NIO DT to focus on insurance brokerage services, including, without limitation, performing insurance brokerage services as well as holding certain related licenses through its subsidiary.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than the guarantees provided to Battery Asset Company in relation to the BaaS model as described in Note 2(s) to our consolidated financial statements included in the 2022 Form 20-F, we have not entered into any off-balance sheet financial guarantees or other off-balance sheet commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or product development services with us.

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 RMB10.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Group incurred operating cash outflow of RMB11.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Accumulated deficit amounted to RMB80.7 billion as of June 30, 2023, and the Group had net current liabilities of RMB0.2 billion as of this same date.

As of June 30, 2023, the Group’s balance of cash and cash equivalents was RMB13.7 billion and short-term investments of RMB13.6 billion. As disclosed in Note 26, subsequently in July 2023, the Company completed an US$738.5 million strategic equity financing from an investor. Management has evaluated the sufficiency of its working capital and concluded that the Group’s available cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments and subsequent financing 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 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 June 30, 2022 and 2023 and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023 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. The interim consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022.

(b) Principles of consolidation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and the VIEs 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.

The Company applies the guidance under Accounting Standard Codification 810, Consolidations (“ASC 810”) on accounting for the VIEs. A VIE is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support; (b) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack the ability to make certain decisions, the obligation to absorb expected losses or the right to receive expected residual returns, or (c) an equity investor has voting rights that are disproportionate to its economic interest and substantially all of the entity’s activities are on behalf of the investor. ASC 810 requires variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary which has a controlling financial interest of variable interest entities. The Company is considered as the primary beneficiary of the VIEs and thus consolidates the financial statements each of these entities under U.S. GAAP.

All significant transactions and balances between the Company, its subsidiaries and the VIEs 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 unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements mainly include, but are not limited to, standalone selling price of each distinct performance obligation in revenue recognition, warranty liabilities, fair value of available-for-sale debt security investments, lower of cost and net realizable value of inventories, inventory valuation for excess and obsolete inventories, losses on purchase commitments, allowance for current expected credit loss, depreciable lives of property, equipment and software, subsequent measurement of equity securities measured under measurement alternatives, impairment of long-lived assets, valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation and recognition of share-based compensation arrangements, as well as current/non-current classification of receivables. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(d) 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 six months ended June 30, 2023 are solely for the convenience of the reader and were calculated at the rate of US$1.00 = RMB7.2513, representing the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of RMB as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on June 30, 2023. No representation is made that the RMB amounts represent or could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into US$ at that rate on, or June 30, 2023, or at any other rate.

(e) Fair value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be either recorded or disclosed at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it also considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

Accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Accounting guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable, market-based inputs, other than quoted prices, in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

As disclosed in Note 2(k), the Group’s equity securities with readily determinable fair values is carried at fair value using quoted market prices that currently available on a securities exchange and classified within Level 1.

The Group’s certain short-term investments in money market funds and financial products issued by banks are carried at fair value, which are classified within Level 2 and valued using directly or indirectly observable inputs in the market place. As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023, such investments aggregately amounted to RMB12,781,060 and RMB4,645,000, respectively.

As disclosed in Note 2(n), the Group’s derivative instruments are carried at fair value, which are classified within Level 2 and valued using indirectly observable inputs in the market place.

As disclosed in Note 8, the Group’s available-for-sale debt security investments include investments the Company made in private companies in 2021 and 2022 which contains substantive redemption and preferential rights, and are classified within Level 3 for fair value measurement. The Company assessed the fair value using a market approach by adopting a backsolve method, which determined the estimated fair value of the investments through comparison to a recent transaction and applied significant unobservable inputs and assumptions. As of June 30, 2023, there were no significant changes to the carrying value of the investments since December 31, 2022, with the carrying value of the investments of RMB1,648,861. The significant unobservable inputs adopted in the valuation as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023 are as follows:

	December 31, 2022	June 30, 2023
Unobservable Input
Expected volatility	54%-61%	52%-54%
Probability	Liquidation scenario: 25%-40% Redemption scenario: 25%-40% IPO scenario: 20%-50%	Liquidation scenario: 25%-35% Redemption scenario: 25%-35% IPO scenario: 30%-50%

Financial assets and liabilities of the Group primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, trade receivable, amounts due from related parties, deposits and other receivables, available-for-sale debt security investments, trade and notes payable, amounts due to related parties, other payables, derivative instruments, short-term borrowings, lease liabilities and long-term borrowings. As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023, other than as discussed above, the carrying values of these financial instruments approximated to their respective fair values.

(f) Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand, time deposits and highly-liquid investments placed with banks or other financial institutions, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use, and which have original maturities of three months or less.

Cash which is restricted to withdrawal for use or pledged as security is reported separately on the face of the consolidated balance sheets. The Group’s restricted cash mainly represents (a) secured deposits held in designated bank accounts for borrowings and corporate bank credit cards, bank acceptance notes,letter of credit and letters of guarantee; and (b) time deposits that are pledged for property leases. The restricted cash is classified according to the contractual term of the restriction imposed.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows are presented separately on our consolidated balance sheets as follows:

	December 31,		June 30,
	2022		2023
Cash and cash equivalents		19,887,575		13,723,951
Restricted cash		3,154,240		2,119,420
Long-term restricted cash		113,478		126,226
Total		23,155,293		15,969,597

(g) Short-term investments

Short-term investments consist primarily of investments in fixed deposits with maturities between three months and one year, which are stated at amortised cost, and investments in money market funds and financial products issued by banks, which are measured at fair value. As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023, the short-term investments amounted to RMB19,171,017 and RMB13,580,712, respectively, among which, RMB12,259,459 and RMB7,244,014, were restricted as collateral for notes payable, bank borrowings and letter of guarantee as of December 31, 2022 and June 30,2023, respectively.

(h) Expected credit losses

The Group accounts for the impairment of financial instruments in accordance with ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASC Topic 326”), effective from January 1, 2020. The Group’s trade and notes receivable, receivables of installment payments, deposits and other receivables are within the scope of ASC Topic 326. The Group has identified the relevant risk characteristics of its customers and the related receivables, prepayments, deposits and other receivables which include size, type of the services or the products the Group provides, or a combination of these characteristics. Receivables with similar risk characteristics have been grouped into pools. For each pool, the Group considers the historical credit loss experience, current economic conditions, supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and any recoveries in assessing the lifetime expected credit losses. Other key factors that influence the expected credit loss analysis include customer demographics, payment terms offered in the normal course of business to customers, and industry-specific factors that could impact the Group’s receivables. Additionally, external data and macroeconomic factors are also considered. This is assessed at each quarter based on the Group’s specific facts and circumstances.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023, the Group recorded RMB41,119 and reversed RMB42,914 in expected credit loss provisions in selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the expected credit loss reserve for current and non-current assets are RMB52,562 and RMB44,580, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, the expected credit loss reserve for current and non-current assets are RMB50,415 and RMB89,641, respectively.

(i) Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is calculated on the average basis and includes all costs to acquire and other costs to bring the inventories to their present location and condition. The Group records inventory write-downs for excess or obsolete inventories or accrues costs of inventory commitments based upon assumptions on current and future demand forecasts. If the inventory on hand or inventory purchase commitments is in excess of future demand forecast, the excess amounts are written down or accrued. The Group also reviews inventory to determine whether its carrying value exceeds the net amount realizable upon the ultimate sale of the inventory. This requires the determination of the estimated selling price of the vehicles less the estimated cost to convert inventory on hand into a finished product. Once inventory is written-down, a new, lower-cost basis for that inventory is established and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis.

(j) Property, plant and equipment, net

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated at rates sufficient to write off their costs less impairment and residual value, if any, over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

The estimated useful lives are as follows:

		Useful lives
Buildings and constructions		20 years
Production facilities		10 years
Charging & battery swap equipment		5 to 8 years
R&D equipment		5 years
Computer and electronic equipment		3 years
Purchased software		3 to 5 years
Leasehold improvements		Shorter of the estimated useful life or remaining lease term (ranging from 1-10 years)
Corporate vehicles		5 years
Others (office equipment, after-sales equipment, etc)		3 to 5 years

Depreciation for mold and tooling is computed using the units-of-production method, including capitalized interest costs which are amortized over the total estimated units of production of the related assets.

The cost of maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred, whereas the cost of renewals and betterment that extends the useful lives of property, plant and equipment is capitalized as additions to the related assets. Interest expense on outstanding debt is capitalized during the period of significant capital asset construction. Capitalized interest on construction-in-progress is included within property, plant and equipment and is amortized over the useful life or units of production of the related assets. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from their respective accounts, and any gain or loss on such sale or disposal is reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

(k) Long-term investments

The Group’s long-term investments include equity investments in entities and debt security investments.

Investments in entities in which the Group can exercise significant influence and holds an investment in voting common stock or in substance common stock (or both) of the investee but does not own a majority equity interest or control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC topic 323, Investments — Equity Method and Joint Ventures (“ASC 323”). Under the equity method, the Group initially records its investments at fair value. The Group subsequently adjusts the carrying amount of the investments to recognize the Group’s proportionate share of each equity investee’s net income or loss into earnings after the date of investment. The Group evaluates the equity method investments for impairment under ASC 323. An impairment loss on the equity method investments is recognized in earnings when the decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary.

Equity securities with readily determinable fair values and over which the Group has neither significant influence nor control through investments in common stock or in-substance common stock are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value reported through earnings.

Equity securities without readily determinable fair values and over which the Group has neither significant influence nor control through investments in common stock or in-substance common stock are measured and recorded using a measurement alternative that measures the securities at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from qualifying observable price changes.

Available-for-sale debt security investments are reported at estimated fair value with the aggregate unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets. Gain or losses are realized when the investments are sold or when dividends are declared or payments are received or when other than temporarily impaired.

Held-to-maturity debt security investment are reported at amortized cost. The securities are held to collect contractual cash flows, and the Group has the positive intent and ability to hold those securities to maturity.

The Group monitors its investments measured under equity method for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors including, but not limited to, current economic and market conditions, the operating performance of the companies including current earnings trends and other company-specific information. No impairment charge was recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023.

(l) Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable or that the useful life is shorter than the Group had originally estimated. When these events occur, the Group evaluates the impairment by comparing carrying value of the assets to an estimate of future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the assets, the Group recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying value of the assets over the fair value of the assets. No impairment charges was recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023.

(m) Warranty liabilities

The Group accrues a warranty reserve for all new vehicles sold by the Group, which includes the Group’s best estimate of the projected costs to repair or replace items under warranty. These estimates are based on actual claims incurred to date and an estimate of the nature, frequency and costs of future claims. These estimates are inherently uncertain given the Group’s relatively short history of sales, and changes to the historical or projected warranty experience may cause material changes to the warranty reserve when the Group accumulates more actual data and experience in the future.

The portion of the warranty reserve expected to be incurred within the next 12 months is included within accruals and other liabilities, while the remaining balance is included within other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Warranty expense is recorded as a component of cost of revenues in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Warranty costs incurred		(26,389	)		(92,971	)
Warranty– end of period		2,453,562			3,271,700

(n) Derivatives instruments and hedging

Derivative instruments are carried at fair value, which generally represent the estimated amounts expect to receive or pay upon termination of the contracts as of the reporting date. Derivative financial instruments are not used for trading or speculative purposes.

The Group has entered into several currency exchange forward contracts with certain commercial banks in PRC to mitigate the risks of foreign exchange gain/loss generated from the Group’s balances of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments denominated in US dollars. As such instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the Group records the changes in fair value of the derivatives in other losses, net, the same line item in which foreign exchange gain/loss is recognised, with offsetting effect. Total changes in fair value of the derivatives recorded in other losses, net, were a loss of RMB341,604 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, all the currency exchange forward contracts have been fully executed and the Group did not enter into any currency exchange forward contracts during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The Group has entered into several swap contracts with a commercial bank to hedge the risks of commodity price associated with the forecasted purchasing transactions. The Group applies cash flow hedge accounting since the hedge relationship is effective. The changes in fair value of the hedging instruments are initially recorded in other comprehensive income, and the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the fair value changes in the hedging instruments are released into the Group’s earnings when the hedged items affect earnings. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023, both the changes in fair value of the hedging instruments through other comprehensive income and the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the fair value changes in the hedging instruments that were released into earnings were immaterial.

(o) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when or as the control of the goods or services is transferred to a customer. Depending on the terms of the contract and the laws that apply to the contract, control of the goods and services may be transferred over time or at a point in time. Control of the goods and services is transferred over time if the Group’s performance:

●

provides all of the benefits received and consumed simultaneously by the customer;

●

creates and enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Group performs; or

●

does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

If control of the goods and services transfers over time, revenue is recognized over the period of the contract by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. Otherwise, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods and services.

F-14

NIO INC.

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

Contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the Group allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The Group generally determines standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers. If the standalone selling price is not directly observable, it is estimated using expected cost plus a margin or adjusted market assessment approach, depending on the availability of observable information. Assumptions and estimations have been made in estimating the relative selling price of each distinct performance obligation, and changes in judgments on these assumptions and estimates may impact the revenue recognition.

When either party to a contract has performed, the Group presents the contract in the consolidated balance sheets as a contract asset or a contract liability, depending on the relationship between the entity’s performance and the customer’s payment.

A contract asset is the Group’s right to consideration in exchange for goods and services that the Group has transferred to a customer. A receivable is recorded when the Group has an unconditional right to consideration. A right to consideration is unconditional if only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due.

A contract liability is the Group’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. The Group’s contract liabilities primarily resulted from the multiple performance obligations identified in the vehicle sales contract and the sales of packages, which is recorded as deferred revenue and advance from customers. As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023, the balances of contract liabilities from vehicle sales contracts were RMB3,740,108 and RMB4,494,422, respectively. As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023, the balances of contract liabilities from the sales of packages were RMB309,198 and RMB296,847, respectively. As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023, the Company did not record any contract assets.

The Group generates revenue from (i) vehicle sales, (ii) battery upgrade service, (iii) sales of charging piles, (iv) sales of packages, (v) automotive regulatory credits, and (vi) others.

Vehicle sales

The Group generates revenue from sales of electric vehicles, together with a number of embedded products and services through a series of contracts. The Group identifies the users who purchase the vehicle as its customers. In general, there are multiple distinct performance obligations explicitly stated in a series of contracts including sales of vehicles, home chargers, vehicle connectivity services, extended warranty and battery swapping service which are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606. In the PRC, initial users are entitled to vehicle connectivity services, extended warranty and battery swapping service. The standard warranty provided by the Group is accounted for in accordance with ASC 460, Guarantees, and the estimated costs are recorded as a liability when NIO transfers the control of vehicle to a user.

Customers only pay the amount after deducting the government subsidies to which they are entitled for the purchase of electric vehicles. The government subsidies are applied and collected by the Group or Jianghuai Automobile Group Co., Ltd. (“JAC”) from the government. Such government subsidies to the customers are considered as a part of the transaction price it charges the customers for the electric vehicle, as the subsidy is granted to the buyer of the electric vehicle instead of the Group and the buyer remains liable for such amount to the Group in the event the subsidies were not received by the Group. The Group or JAC applies and collects the payment on behalf of the customers.

In the instance that some eligible customers elect installment payment for battery or the auto financing arrangements, the Group believes such arrangement contains a significant financing component and as a result adjusts the transaction price to reflect the impact of time value on the transaction price using an appropriate discount rate (i.e. the interest rates of the loan reflecting the credit risk of the borrower). Interest income from such arrangements with a significant financing component is presented as other sales. Receivables related to the battery installment payment and auto financing programs that are expected to be repaid by customers beyond one year of the dates of the financial statements are recognized as non-current assets. The difference between the gross receivable and the respective present value is recorded as unrealized finance income. Interest income from such arrangements with a significant financing component is presented separately from revenue from contracts with customers.

The Group uses a cost plus margin approach to determine the estimated standalone selling price for each individual distinct performance obligation identified, considering the Group’s pricing policies and practices, and the data utilized in making pricing decisions. The overall contract price is then allocated to each distinct performance obligation based on the relative estimated standalone selling price in accordance with ASC 606. The revenue for vehicle sales and home chargers are recognized at a point in time when the control of the product is transferred to the customer. For the vehicle connectivity service and battery swapping service, the Group recognizes the revenue over time using a straight-line method during the estimated beneficial period, based on the estimated length of time that the initial owner owns the vehicles before it is re-sold to secondary market. As for the extended warranty, given limited operating history and lack of historical data, the Group decides to recognize the revenue over time based on a straight-line method initially, and will continue monitoring the cost pattern periodically and adjust the revenue recognition pattern to reflect the actual cost pattern as it becomes available.

As the consideration for the vehicle and all embedded services are generally paid in advance, which means the payments received are prior to the transfer of goods or services by the Group, the Group records a contract liability (deferred revenue) for the allocated amount regarding those unperformed obligations.

Battery as a Service (BaaS)

The Battery as a Service (the “BaaS”), allows users to purchase electric vehicles without batteries and subscribe for the usage of batteries separately. In PRC, under the BaaS, the Group sells batteries to Wuhan Weineng Battery Asset Co., Ltd. (the “Battery Asset Company”), an equity investee of the Company, on a back-to-back basis when the Group sells the vehicle to the BaaS users and the BaaS users subscribe for the usage of the batteries from the Battery Asset Company by paying a monthly subscription fee to the Battery Asset Company. The promise to transfer the control of the batteries to the Battery Asset Company is the only performance obligation in the contract with the Battery Asset Company for the sales of batteries. The Group recognizes revenue from the sales of batteries to the Battery Asset Company when the vehicles (together with the batteries) are delivered to the BaaS users which is the point considered then the control of the batteries is transferred to the Battery Asset Company.

Together with the sales of the batteries, the Group entered into service agreements with the Battery Asset Company, pursuant to which the Group provides services to the Battery Asset Company including batteries monitoring, maintenance, upgrade, replacement, IT system support, etc., with monthly service charges. In case of any default in payment of monthly rental fees from users, the Battery Asset Company also has right to request the Group to track and lock down the battery subscribed by the users to limit its usage. In addition, in furtherance of the BaaS, the Group agreed to provide guarantee to the Battery Asset Company for the default in payment of monthly subscription fees from users. The maximum amount of guarantee that can be claimed by the Battery Asset Company for the users’ payment default shall not be higher than the accumulated service fees the Group receives from the Battery Asset Company.

For services provided to the Battery Asset Company, revenue is recognized over the period when services are rendered. As for financial guarantee liabilities, the provision of guarantee is linked to and associated with services rendered to the Battery Asset Company and the payment of guarantee amount is therefore accounted for as the reduction to the revenue from the Battery Asset Company.

The fair value of the guarantee liabilities is determined by taking considerations of the default pattern of the Company’s existing battery installment programs provided to users. At each period end, the financial liabilities are remeasured with the corresponding changes recorded as the reduction to the revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023, both service revenue and guarantee liability were immaterial.

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

Since 2022, the BaaS users are also provided with the option to buy out the batteries in PRC. Under this arrangement, BaaS users and the Battery Asset Company enter into battery subscription termination agreement, and the Group purchases the outgoing batteries from the Battery Asset Company, after which the Group sells batteries with qualified performance to the BaaS users. These transactions are arranged on back-to-back basis under which the Group is in substance rendering the agency service to facilitate the BaaS users which are also the customers of the Group to complete the purchase of batteries from the Battery Asset Company. The Group therefore recognizes revenue of the service to facilitate the BaaS batteries buy out transactions on net basis with the amount of the difference between the consideration the Group receives from the BaaS users for the battery sales and the price of batteries the Group pays to the Battery Asset Company. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023, the Group recognized service fee of RMB17,060 and RMB31,197. Upon the completion of BaaS buy-out, the Group stops to provide battery service and is not obliged to provide guarantee and warranty related to the relevant batteries to the Battery Asset Company.

Battery swapping service

The Group also provides battery swapping service to users with convenient “recharging” experience by swapping the user’s battery for another one. In PRC, as set forth in the vehicle sales contracts, the initial users can have their batteries swapped certain times a month free of charge (i.e. monthly free-of-charge quota) during the length of time they own vehicles. For additional consideration, initial users can exceed the monthly swapping quota provided for within the sales agreement. When the vehicles are sold by the initial users, the successor owners are not entitled to such monthly free-of-charge quota and need to pay cash consideration for each battery swapping service. The battery swapping service is in substance a charging service instead of non-monetary exchanges or sales of batteries as the batteries involved in such swapping are the same in capacity and very similar in performance.

For performance obligation of the battery swapping service sold together with the vehicles (i.e. monthly free-of-charge quota), the Group recognizes the revenue over time using a straight-line method in the estimated beneficial period, being the estimated length of time that the initial owner owns the vehicle. For the battery swapping beyond monthly free-of-charge quota for which additional considerations are paid by the users, the Group recognizes revenue at the amount of consideration paid by users when the battery swapping service is completed. Such revenue is recorded under sales of packages and provision of power solution.

Practical expedients and exemptions

The Group follows the guidance on immaterial promises when identifying performance obligations in the vehicle sales contracts and concludes that roadside assistance and out-of-town charging services are not performance obligations considering these two services are value-added services to enhance user experience rather than critical items for vehicle driving and forecasted that usage of these two services will be very limited. The Group also performs an estimation on the standalone fair value of each promise applying a cost plus margin approach and concludes that the standalone fair value of roadside assistance and out-of- town charging services are insignificant individually and in aggregate, representing less than 1% of vehicle gross selling price and aggregate fair value of each individual promise.

Considering the qualitative assessment and the result of the quantitative estimate, the Group concluded not to assess whether promises are performance obligations as they are immaterial in the context of the contract and the relative standalone fair value individually and in aggregate is less than 3% of the contract price.

Battery upgrade service

The Group provides battery upgrade service to both BaaS users and non-BaaS users. The users can exchange their batteries with lower capacity for the batteries with higher capacity from the Group with a fixed cash consideration. The battery upgrade service is in substance the provision of incremental battery capacity service to the users instead of non-monetary battery exchanges or sales of battery. Therefore, under non-BaaS model, the revenue from the battery upgrade service is recognized at the amount of cash consideration paid by users at a point in time when the service is rendered. Under the BaaS model, since the ownership of originally installed battery belongs to the Battery Asset Company, when a user requests battery upgrade, the Group actually upgrades the battery that belongs to the Battery Asset Company and recognize revenue for the battery upgrade service at the amount paid by the Battery Asset Company when upgrade service is rendered. BaaS users will then pay a higher monthly subscription fee to the Battery Asset Company for subscribing for the battery with higher capacity.

Sales of charging piles

In addition to the home chargers provided as one of the performance obligations in the contract of vehicle sales, the Group also sells charging piles to customers separately. Revenue for charging piles are recognized at a point in time when the control of the product is transferred to customers.

Sales of packages and provision of power solution

The Group also sells the two packages, energy package and service package in exchange for cash considerations. The energy package includes battery charging and swapping services and service package includes repair and maintenance services.

The agreements for packages create legal enforceability to both parties on a monthly basis as the respective packages can be canceled at any time without any penalty. The Group concludes that each service provided in the energy or service package is a series and meets the stand-ready criteria as one separate performance obligation within the package. Each service provided in the energy or service package is recognized under the same pattern over time on a monthly basis as customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided and the term of legally enforceable contract is only one month, except for the customer loyalty program points granted to the customers as discussed below.

As the consideration for packages are generally paid in advance, which means the payments received are prior to the transfer of services by the Group, the Group records the consideration as a contract liability (advance from customers) upon receipt.

The Group also provides power solution to users including battery charging and swapping. Revenue is recognized at the amount of consideration paid by users when charging or swapping is completed.

Sales of automotive regulatory credits

New Energy Vehicle (“NEV”) mandate policy launched by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (“MIIT”) specifies the NEV credit targets and as all of the Group’s products are NEVs, the Group is able to generate NEV credits above target. The credits earned per vehicle is dependent on various metrics such as vehicle driving range and battery energy efficiency, and is calculated based on the MIIT published formula. Excess positive NEV credits are tradable to other vehicle manufacturers through a credit management system established by the MIIT on a separately negotiated basis. The Group sells these credits at agreed price to other vehicle manufacturers.

Considerations for automotive regulatory credits are typically received at the point control transfers to the customer, or in accordance with payment terms customary to the business. The Company recognizes revenue on the sale of automotive regulatory credits at the time control of the regulatory credits is transferred to the purchasing party as other sales revenue in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Others

Other revenues primarily comprise revenues generated from (i) sales of accessories, (ii) interest income from auto financing arrangements, (iii) sales of used cars, (iv) embedded products and services offered together with vehicle sales, including vehicle connectivity service and extended warranty, and (v) others. Revenue is recognized when relevant services are rendered or control of the products is transferred.

Incentives

The Group offers a self-managed customer loyalty program points, which can be used in the Group’s online store and at NIO houses to redeem merchandise, including accessories and branded merchandise, etc. The Group determines the value of each point based on estimated incremental cost. Customers and NIO fans and advocates have a variety of ways to obtain the points. The major accounting policy for its points program is described as follows:

(i) Sales of vehicle

The Group concludes the points offered linked to the purchase transaction of the vehicle is a material right and accordingly a separate performance obligation according to ASC 606, and is taken into consideration when allocating the transaction price of the vehicle sales. The Group also estimates the probability of points redemption when performing the allocation. Since historical information is limited for the Group to determine any potential points forfeiture and the fact that most merchandise can be redeemed without requiring a significant amount of points compared with the amount of points provided to users, the Group believes it is reasonable to assume all points will be redeemed and no forfeiture is estimated currently. The amount allocated to the points as separate performance obligation is recorded as contract liability (deferred revenue) and revenue should be recognized when future goods or services are transferred. The Group will continue to monitor when and if a forfeiture rate should be applied and will apply and update the estimated forfeiture rate at each reporting period.

(ii) Sales of packages

Energy package — when the customers charge their vehicles without using the Group’s charging network as tracked by the Group’s system, the Group will grant points to the customers based on the quantity of electricity charged. The Group records the value of the points as a reduction of revenue from the energy package.

Service package — the Group grants points to the customers when the customers accumulate miles of driving during the service period of the service package. The Group records the value of the points as a reduction of revenue from the service package.

The above customer points arrangement is considered as a separate performance obligation of the energy and service packages sold. The allocated amount to points granted under these packages are deferred and recognized when such points are utilized by the customers. Since historical information is limited for the Group to determine any potential points forfeiture and most merchandise can be redeemed without requiring a significant amount of points compared with the amount of points provided to users, the Group has used an estimated forfeiture rate of zero.

(iii) Other scenarios

Customers or users of the mobile application can also obtain points through any other ways such as frequent sign-ins to the Group’s mobile application, sharing articles from the application to users’ own social media, etc. The Group believes these points are to encourage user engagement and generate market awareness. As a result, the Group accounts for such points as selling and marketing expenses with a corresponding liability recorded under other current liabilities of its consolidated balance sheets upon the points are offered. The Group estimates liabilities under the customer loyalty program based on cost of the NIO merchandise that can be redeemed, and its estimate of probability of redemption. At the time of redemption, the Group records a reduction of inventory and other current liabilities. In certain cases where merchandise is sold for cash in addition to points, the Group records other revenue for the amount of cash received.

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

Similar to the reasons above, the Group estimates no points forfeiture currently and continues to assess when and if a forfeiture rate should be applied.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023, the revenue portion allocated to the points as a separate performance obligation was RMB194,200 and RMB261,865, respectively, which is recorded as contract liability (deferred revenue). For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023, the total points recorded as selling and marketing expenses were RMB38,555 and RMB61,488, respectively.

As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023, liabilities recorded related to unredeemed points were RMB 680,660 and RMB754,817, respectively.

(p) Employee benefits

Full time employees of the Group in the PRC participate in a government mandated defined contribution plan, pursuant to which certain pension benefits, medical care, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to the employees. Chinese labor regulations require that the PRC subsidiaries and VIEs of the Group make contributions to the government for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ salaries, up to a maximum amount specified by the local government. The Group has no legal obligation for the benefits beyond the contributions made. Total amounts of such employee benefit expenses, which were expensed as incurred, were approximately RMB686,240 and RMB1,135,783 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively.

(q) Government grants

The Group’s subsidiaries received government subsidies from certain local governments. The Group’s government subsidies consisted of specific subsidies and other subsidies. Specific subsidies are subsidies that the local government has provided for a specific purpose, such as product development and renewal of production facilities. Other subsidies are the subsidies that the local government has not specified its purpose for and are not tied to future trends or performance of the Group; receipt of such subsidy income is not contingent upon any further actions or performance of the Group and the amounts do not have to be refunded under any circumstances. The Group recorded specific purpose subsidies as advances payable when received. For specific subsidies, upon government acceptance of the related project development or asset acquisition, the specific purpose subsidies are recognized to reduce related R&D expenses or the cost of asset acquisition. Other subsidies are recognized as other operating income upon receipt as further performance by the Group is not required.

(r) Income taxes

Income tax expense for the interim consolidated financial statements is determined using an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate, which is based upon the applicable tax rates and tax laws of the countries in which the income is generated. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences attributable to differences between carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their respective tax basis, and operating loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss in the period of change. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that amount of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Group records liabilities related to uncertain tax positions when, despite the Group’s belief that the Group’s tax return positions are supportable, the Group believes that it is more likely than not that those positions may not be fully sustained upon review by tax authorities. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are classified as income tax expense. The Group did not recognize uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023.

(s) Share-based compensation

The Company grants restricted shares and share options of the Company and its subsidiary to eligible employees and non-employee consultants and accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation and ASU 2018-07-Compensation-stock compensation (Topic 718)-Improvements to non-employee share-based payment accounting.

Employees’ share-based compensation awards are measured at the grant date fair value of the awards and recognized as expenses a) immediately at the grant date if no vesting conditions are required; or b) for share options or restricted shares granted with only service conditions, using the straight-line vesting method, net of estimated forfeitures, over the vesting period; or c) for share options where the underlying share is liability within the scope of ASC 480, using the graded vesting method, net of estimated forfeitures, over the vesting period, and re-measuring the fair value of the award at each reporting period end until the award is settled.

All transactions in which goods or services are received in exchange for equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

In April 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-07, “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. Upon the adoption of this guidance, the Group no longer re-measures equity-classified share-based awards granted to consultants or non-employees at each reporting date through the vesting period and the accounting for these share-based awards to consultants or non-employees and employees was substantially aligned. Share-based compensation expenses for share options and restricted shares granted to non-employees are measured at fair value at the date when such awards are granted and recognized over the period during which the service from the non-employees is provided.

The binomial option-pricing model is used to measure the value of share options. The determination of the fair value is affected by the fair value of the ordinary shares as well as assumptions including the expected share price volatility, actual and projected employee and non-employee share option exercise behavior, risk-free interest rates and expected dividends.

The assumptions used in share-based compensation expense recognition represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and application of management judgment. If factors change or different assumptions are used, the share-based compensation expenses could be materially different for any period. Moreover, the estimates of fair value of the awards are not intended to predict actual future events or the value that ultimately will be realized by grantees who receive share-based awards, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by the Company for accounting purposes.

For restricted shares granted by one of the Company’s subsidiaries to employees, determination of related estimated fair values (the subsidiaries are not publicly traded) requires complex and subjective judgments due to limited financial and operating history, unique business risks and limited comparable public information. Key inputs and assumptions underlying the determined fair value of these restricted shares include but are not limited to the pricing of recent rounds of financing, future cash flow forecasts, discount rates, and liquidity factors relevant to each of the respective subsidiaries.

Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Group uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting options and records share-based compensation expenses only for those awards that are expected to vest.

(t) Leases

As the lessee, the Group recognizes in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, the Group makes an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities and recognizes lease expenses for such lease generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Operating lease assets are included within right-of-use assets— operating lease, and the corresponding operating lease liabilities are included within operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Finance lease assets are included within other non-current assets, and the corresponding finance lease liabilities are included within accruals and other liabilities for the current portion, and within other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

(u) Dividends

Dividends are recognized when declared. No dividends were declared for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023 .

(v) Earnings/(loss) per share

Basic earnings/(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/(loss) attributable to holders of ordinary shares, considering the accretions to redemption value of the preferred shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net income is allocated between ordinary shares and other participating securities based on their participating rights. Diluted earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders, as adjusted for the accretion and allocation of net income related to the preferred shares, if any, by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive ordinary equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Ordinary equivalent shares consist of shares issuable upon the conversion of the preferred shares using the if-converted method, unvested restricted shares, restricted share units and ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding share options (using the treasury stock method). Ordinary equivalent shares are not included in the denominator of the diluted earnings per share calculation when inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive.

(w) Segment reporting

ASC 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statements information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers.

Based on the criteria established by ASC 280, the Group’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Group as a whole and hence, the Group has only one reportable segment. The Group does not distinguish between markets or segments for the purpose of internal reporting. As the Group’s long-lived assets are substantially located in the PRC, no geographical segments are presented.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

(a)

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (Topic 805). This ASU requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities (deferred revenue) from acquired contracts using the revenue recognition guidance in Topic 606. At the acquisition date, the acquirer applies the revenue model as if it had originated the acquired contracts. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of the ASU should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is also permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If early adopted, the amendments are applied retrospectively to all business combinations for which the acquisition date occurred during the fiscal year of adoption. The Company adopted this from January 1, 2023, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. This ASU eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which we adopted on January 1, 2020. This ASU also enhances the disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the ASU amends the guidance on vintage disclosures to require entities to disclose current period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of ASC 326-20. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of the ASU would be applied prospectively. Early adoption is also permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company adopted this from January 1, 2023, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(b)

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The update clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The update also clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The update also requires certain additional disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. The amendments in this update are effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2024 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. This ASU is currently not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

4. Concentration and Risks

(a) Concentration of credit risk

Assets that potentially subject the Group to significant concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investment, trade receivable, amount due from related parties, deposits and other receivables. The maximum exposure of such assets to credit risk is their carrying amounts as of the balance sheet dates. As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023, the great majority of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC and the United States which management believes are of high credit quality based on their credit ratings.

(b) Currency convertibility risk

The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of RMB into foreign currencies. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash denominated in RMB that are subject to such government controls amounted to RMB13,012,259 and RMB11,370,573 as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The value of RMB is subject to changes in the central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the PRC foreign exchange trading system market. In the PRC, certain foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions at exchange rates set by the People’s Bank of China (the “PBOC”). Remittances in currencies other than RMB by the Group in the PRC must be processed through PBOC or other Chinese foreign exchange regulatory bodies which require certain supporting documentation in order to process the remittance.

(c) Foreign currency exchange rate risk

Since July 21, 2005, the RMB has been permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. While the international reaction to the RMB appreciation has generally been positive, there remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant appreciation of the RMB against other currencies.

(d) Concentration of customers and suppliers

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023, there was no customer with greater than 10% of the total revenue. The following table summarized the customer with greater than 10% of the total account receivables:

	December 31,			June 30,
	2022			2023
Percentage of the account receivables
Customer A		21	%		21	%

The following tables summarized the supplier with greater than 10% of the total purchase and payables:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022			2023
Percentage of the total purchase
Supplier A		20	%		19	%

	December 31,			June 30,
	2022			2023
Percentage of the account payables
Supplier A		31	%		22	%

5. Inventory

	December 31,			June 30,
	2022			2023
Raw materials		2,974,125			2,879,639
Work in process		170,995			298,915

Less: inventory provision		(149,667	)		(165,814	)
Total		8,191,386			8,493,374

Raw materials primarily consist of materials for volume production as well as spare parts used for aftersales services.

Finished goods include vehicles ready for transit at production factory, vehicles in transit to fulfill customer orders, new vehicles available for immediate sale at the Group’s sales and service center locations and charging piles.

Merchandise includes accessories and branded merchandise which can be redeemed by customer loyalty program.

25. Commitment and Contingencies

(a) Capital commitments

Capital expenditures contracted for at the balance sheet dates but not recognized in the Group’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are as follows:

	December 31,		June 30,
	2022		2023
Property, plant and equipment		4,541,383		5,330,954
Leasehold improvements		807,666		614,801
Total		5,349,049		5,945,755

(b) Contingencies

Between March and July 2019, several putative securities class action lawsuits were filed against the Company, certain of the Company’s directors and officers, the underwriters in the IPO and the process agent, alleging, in sum and substance, that the Company’s statements in the Registration Statement and/or other public statements were false or misleading and in violation of the U.S. federal securities laws. Some of these actions have been withdrawn, transferred or consolidated. Currently, two securities class actions remain pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York (E.D.N.Y.) and Southern District of New York (S.D.N.Y.). In the E.D.N.Y. action, the Company and other defendants filed their Motion to Dismiss on October 19, 2020. Certain of the Company’s directors and officers, who were named as defendants in this action, joined the company’s Motion. On August 12, 2021, the Court denied the Motion to Dismiss. The action has since proceeded to the discovery stage, which is currently ongoing. Briefing on Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification was completed in December 2022, with a ruling still pending. In the New York county action, by an order dated March 23, 2021, the Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion to lift the stay in favor of the federal action. Plaintiffs subsequently filed an amended complaint on April 2, 2021.The Company and other defendants filed a motion to dismiss on May 17, 2021. Briefing on the Motion to Dismiss was completed on August 2, 2021. The Court’s decision on the Motion is pending. On October 4, 2021, the Court granted the Company and other Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss. Plaintiffs subsequently filed a notice of appeal to the Appellate Division of the New York State Court. On December 8, 2022, the Appellate Division affirmed the dismissal of Plaintiffs’ claims. On August 8, 2023, the Court granted the Motion for class certification. The Company will continue the productions of documents, subject to obtaining necessary approvals from Chinese authorities.

On March 22, 2021, two individual plaintiffs filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Santa Clara against the Company, several of its subsidiaries and certain individual defendants. Plaintiffs allege that they were former employees or contractors of the Company and its subsidiaries and that they had been discriminated and wrongfully terminated by the Company and its subsidiaries, allegedly in violation of various state and federal laws. Plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, including back pay, equity and lost earnings, the amounts of which have yet to be ascertained. On July 7, 2021, two of the Company’s subsidiaries filed a request to remove the case from state to federal court. Plaintiffs opposed the removal. On May 3, 2022, the Federal District Court remanded the case to the state court. On June 2, 2022, the Company filed a motion to quash service of the complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction with the Superior Court of the State of California. On September 22, 2022, the Court issued an order finding that Plaintiffs have not met their burden to establish the court’s jurisdiction over the Company, but also granted limited jurisdictional discovery. The jurisdictional discovery has been paused as Plaintiffs and the Defendants are exploring the option of referring the dispute to mediation. The mediation is currently scheduled to take place in October 2023.

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

Between August and September 2022, two complaints were filed against the Company, its CEO and its CFO in the federal district court for the Southern District of New York (S.D.N.Y.), in the actions captioned Saye v. NIO Inc. et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-07252 (S.D.N.Y.) and Bohonok v. NIO Inc. et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-07666 (S.D.N.Y.). Relying on a short seller report, these complaints allege that certain of the Company’s public disclosures between Q3 2020 and Q1 2022 contained false statements or omissions in violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. On December 14, 2022, the Court consolidated the two actions and appointed lead plaintiff. The lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint on February 28, 2023, to which the Company will respond in due course. On July 31, 2023, the Company filed its reply brief. The Court’s decision on the motion remained undetermined.

These actions remain in their preliminary stages. The Company is currently unable to determine the outcomes of these actions or any estimate of the amount or range of any potential loss, if any, associated with resolution of such lawsuits, if they proceed.

The Group is subject to legal proceedings and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of business, such as disputes with landlords, suppliers, employees, etc. The results of such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, but the Group does not anticipate that the final outcome arising out of any of such matters will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated balance sheets, comprehensive loss or cash flows on an individual basis or in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023, other than as disclosed above, the Group is not a party to any material legal or administrative proceedings.

26. Subsequent Events

In July, 2023, the Company closed a US$738.5 million strategic equity investment from CYVN Investments RSC Ltd, an affiliate of CYVN Holdings L.L.C., an investment vehicle majority owned by the Abu Dhabi Government (collectively referred to as “CYVN Entities”). CYVN Entities also acquired certain Class A ordinary shares of the Company from an affiliate of Tencent for an aggregate consideration of US$350 million. As a result of these transactions, CYVN Investments RSC Ltd has an aggregate beneficial ownership of approximately 7.0% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding shares.

In August 2023, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, entered into another asset-backed securitization arrangement and securitized receivables arising from auto financing arrangements through the transfer of those assets to a securitization vehicle. The securitization vehicle initially issued debt securities to investors at the total amount of RMB859 million. It is a revolving arrangement where the Company provides management, administration and collection services (at market rates) on the transferred financial assets, but only retains an insignificant economic interest in the securitization vehicle. As a result, the Group will not consolidate the securitization vehicle (thereby derecognizing transferred receivables) under US GAAP.
