Management Commentary

Mr. He Xiaopeng, Chairman and CEO of XPeng, said, �2021 was marked by impressive growth with record-breaking fourth quarter deliveries led by our blockbuster P7 model and our newly launched P5 family sedan. For both the full year and fourth quarter, our total deliveries more than tripled year-over-year, fueled by the fast-growing EV penetration in China and our competitive Smart EV products. In addition, fast expansion of our sales and services, and supercharging stations networks and the accelerated rollout of new products are paving the way for even deeper penetration into China�s mid- to high-end market segment where robust demand for our products continues to outpace supply.�

�We are also excited about our City Navigation Guided Pilot (�CNGP�), which is being developed and fast iterated. Our objective for CNGP is to achieve superior safety and user experience in complex urban driving scenarios. The upcoming OTA of CNGP will further strengthen our technology leadership and it will mark another major milestone on our journey toward achieving full scenario autonomous driving for our customers,� Mr. He concluded.

�With accelerated deliveries across our three models, our 2021 full-year revenue exceeded RMB20 billion. Notably, we delivered remarkable growth in the fourth quarter, with revenues reaching RMB8.6 billion, up 200.1% year-over-year. Fueled by our strong vehicle models on the market, planned new launches based on new platforms, and technology leadership, we are confident in our continued growth trajectory and structural improvement of gross margin.� said Dr. Hongdi Brian Gu, Honorary Vice Chairman and President of XPeng.
