Management Commentary
“XPENG G6, our first strategic model built on SEPA 2.0, has quickly become one of the best-selling models following its official launch in June, turbocharging our sales growth momentum. I believe the success of the G6 is just the beginning and moving forward, a wider range of SEPA2.0-enabled models will be brought to our customers,” said Mr. He Xiaopeng, Chairman and CEO of XPENG. “Along with our unwavering commitment to advancing technology innovation over the past 9 years since our establishment, we’ve created meaningful breakthroughs in commercializing our industry-leading full-stack EV platform and smart technologies, both developed in-house. This is clearly evidenced by the increasing ADAS adoption among our customers and our strategic partnership with Volkswagen, a world-leading carmaker.”
“Benefitting from the new products and supported by more efficient sales channels, our vehicle deliveries have posted sequential growth for six consecutive months,” said Dr. Hongdi Brian Gu, Honorary Vice Chairman and Co-President of XPENG. “With the G6 and other new products accelerating sales growth, we expect gross margin to gradually recover while operating efficiency continues to improve and free cash flow to substantially improve.”

Unaudited Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2023
Total revenues were RMB5.06 billion (US$0.70 billion) for the second quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of 31.9% from RMB7.44 billion for the same period of 2022 and an increase of 25.5% from RMB4.03 billion for the first quarter of 2023.
Revenues from vehicle sales were RMB4.42 billion (US$0.61 billion) for the second quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of 36.2% from the same period of 2022, and an increase of 25.9% from the first quarter of 2023. The year-over-year decrease was mainly attributable to lower vehicle deliveries and discontinuation of new energy vehicle subsidy, while the quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly due to higher vehicle deliveries of the P7i.
Revenues from services and others were RMB0.64 billion (US$0.09 billion) for the second quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 28.2% from RMB0.50 billion for the same period of 2022 and an increase of 22.8% from RMB0.52 billion for the first quarter of 2023. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter increases were mainly attributable to the increase of parts and services sales, which was in line with higher accumulated vehicle sales.
Cost of sales was RMB5.26 billion (US$0.73 billion) for the second quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of 20.6% from RMB6.63 billion for the same period of 2022 and an increase of 32.6% from RMB3.97 billion for the first quarter of 2023. The year-over-year decrease and the quarter-over-quarter increase were mainly in line with vehicle deliveries as described above. Additionally, for the second quarter of 2023, the Company recorded the inventory write-downs and losses on inventory purchase commitments amounting to RMB0.20 billion related to the model G3i as management lowered its forecasted sales due to stronger-than-expected market demands for newly launched vehicle models, resulting in the quarter-over-quarter increase.
Gross margin was negative 3.9% for the second quarter of 2023, compared with 10.9% for the same period of 2022 and 1.7% for the first quarter of 2023.
Vehicle margin was negative 8.6% for the second quarter of 2023, compared with 9.1% for the same period of 2022 and negative 2.5% for the first quarter of 2023. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases were explained by (i) the inventory write-downs and losses on inventory purchase commitments related to the G3i, with a negative impact of 4.5 percentage points on vehicle margin for the second quarter of 2023, and (ii) increased sales promotions, and the expiry of new energy vehicle subsidies mentioned above.
Research and development expenses were RMB1.37 billion (US$0.19 billion) for the second quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 8.1% from RMB1.26 billion for the same period of 2022 and an increase of 5.5% from RMB1.30 billion for the first quarter of 2023. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter increases were mainly due to higher expenses related to the development of new vehicle models as the Company expanded its product portfolio to support future growth.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were RMB1.54 billion (US$0.21 billion) for the second quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of 7.3% from RMB1.66 billion for the same period of 2022 and an increase of 11.3% from RMB1.39 billion for the first quarter of 2023. The year-over-year decrease was primarily attributable to the reduction in commission paid to the franchised stores and lower marketing and advertising expenses. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly resulting from higher marketing and advertising expenses to support new product launches.
Loss from operations was RMB3.09 billion (US$0.43 billion) for the second quarter of 2023, compared with RMB2.09 billion for the same period of 2022 and RMB2.59 billion for the first quarter of 2023.
Non-GAAP loss from operations, which excludes share-based compensation expenses, was RMB2.96 billion (US$0.41 billion) for the second quarter of 2023, compared with RMB1.85 billion for the same period of 2022 and RMB2.46 billion for the first quarter of 2023.
Net loss was RMB2.80 billion (US$0.39 billion) for the second quarter of 2023, compared with RMB2.70 billion for the same period of 2022 and RMB2.34 billion for the first quarter of 2023.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses non-GAAP measures, such as non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP basic loss per weighted average number of ordinary shares and non-GAAP basic loss per ADS, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. By excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, the Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business and enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects. The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making. The non-GAAP financial measures are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and when assessing the Company’s operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for net loss or other consolidated statements of comprehensive loss data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance.
For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP Results” set forth in this announcement.
