“In our first quarter as a public company we achieved strong operating and financial results, highlighted by the rapid growth in deliveries of our P7 Smart EV,” said Mr. He Xiaopeng, Chairman and CEO of XPeng.

“Our commitment to innovation through end-to-end in-house R&D and data-driven capabilities is the cornerstone of our business. This will not only keep XPeng at the forefront of the technologies of Smart EV but also position us well in capturing the significant growth potential in the Smart EV industry. Looking ahead, XPeng will continue to capitalize on its core strengths in technology, while heightening sales and marketing efforts, further enhancing manufacturing capability, and developing our global strategy,” Mr. He concluded.

Following its official launch in April this year, P7 deliveries helped to more than triple the total Smart EV delivery number in the third quarter, fueling a 342.5% increase in total revenues, on a year-over-year basis.

“The robust results we achieved in the third quarter, from delivery numbers, production ramp-up, and advancement in R&D, to expansion plans for the new factory and overseas business, reflect the strong market appeal of our products, the resonance of our strategy, and our ability to adeptly execute our operational plan,” said Dr. Brian Gu, Vice Chairman and President of XPeng. “Achieving our first positive gross profit also underscores our growth and our ability to realize economies of scale.”

New Smart EV Manufacturing Base

On September 28, 2020, the Company announced the cooperation agreement (“Cooperation Agreement”) with Guangzhou GET Investment Holdings Co., Ltd, a wholly owned investment company of Guangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone (“GETDZ”), for developing and building a new Smart EV manufacturing base (“Smart EV Manufacturing Base”) for XPeng in Guangzhou.

Third Quarter 2020 Unaudited Financial Results

Total revenues were RMB1,990.1 million (US$293.1 million) for the third quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 342.5% from RMB449.7 million for the same period of 2019 and an increase of 236.9% from RMB590.8 million for the second quarter of 2020.

Revenues from vehicle sales were RMB1,898.0 million (US$279.6 million) for the third quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 376.0% from RMB398.8 million for the same period of 2019 and an increase of 250.8% from RMB541.1 million for the second quarter of 2020. The year-over-year and the quarter-over-quarter increases were mainly due to the acceleration in deliveries of the P7 since we began its mass delivery in late June this year.

Revenues from services and others were RMB92.1 million (US$13.6 million) for the third quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 80.8% from RMB50.9 million for the same period of 2019 and an increase of 85.4% from RMB49.7 million for the second quarter of 2020. The year-over-year and the quarter-over-quarter increases were mainly attributed to the increased revenue recognized from the after-sales services which was associated with the increase in the accumulated number of vehicles we delivered.

Cost of sales was RMB1,898.6 million (US$279.6 million) for the third quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 283.5% from RMB495.0 million for the same period of 2019, and an increase of 212.8% from RMB607.0 million for the second quarter of 2020. The year-over-year and the quarter-over-quarter increases were mainly due to the increase in the number of vehicles delivered as described above.

Gross margin was 4.6% for the third quarter of 2020, compared to negative 10.1% and negative 2.7% for the third quarter of 2019 and the second quarter of 2020, respectively.

Vehicle margin was 3.2% for the third quarter of 2020, compared to negative 10.8% for the same period of 2019 and negative 5.6% for the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to better product mix, decrease in material costs and improvement of manufacturing efficiency.

Research and development expenses were RMB635.4 million (US$93.6 million) for the third quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 46.1% from RMB435.0 million for the same period of 2019 and an increase of 98.7% from RMB319.8 million for the second quarter of 2020. The year-over-year and the quarter-over-quarter increases were mainly due to a significant amount of share-based compensation expenses recognized related to the share-based awards granted to the Company’s employees with a performance condition of an IPO. Excluding the share-based compensation expenses, (i) research and development expenses decreased year-over-year primarily because the Company incurred significant amounts of expenses relating to the development of the P7 in the same period of 2019, and (ii) research and development expenses increased quarter-over-quarter mainly due to the increase in design and development expenses relating to the development of the new model to be launched next year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were RMB1,203.8 million (US$177.3 million) for the third quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 320.8% from RMB286.0 million for the same period of 2019 and an increase of 152.3% from RMB477.1 million for the second quarter of 2020. The year-over-year and the quarter-over-quarter increases were mainly due to a significant amount of share-based compensation expenses recognized for the reason mentioned above. Excluding the share-based compensation expenses, the increases mainly resulted from the higher marketing, promotional and advertising expenses to support new vehicle sales.

Loss from operations was RMB1,744.2 million (US$256.9 million) for the third quarter of 2020, compared with RMB761.5 million for the same period of 2019 and RMB779.1 million for the second quarter of 2020.

Non-GAAP loss from operations, which excludes share-based compensation expenses, was RMB822.6 million (US$121.2 million) in the third quarter, compared with RMB761.4 million for the same period of 2019 and RMB779.1 million for the second quarter of 2020.

Net loss was RMB1,148.8 million (US$169.2 million) for the third quarter of 2020, compared with RMB776.3 million for the same period of 2019 and RMB146.0 million for the second quarter of 2020.

Non-GAAP net loss, which excludes share-based compensation expenses and fair value change on derivative liabilities related to the redemption right of preferred shares, was RMB864.9 million (US$127.4 million) for the third quarter of 2020, compared with RMB750.8 million for the same period of 2019 and RMB769.5 million for the second quarter of 2020.

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, fair value change on derivative liabilities related to the redemption right of preferred shares and/or accretion on preferred shares to redemption value, the Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business and enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects. The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making. The non-GAAP financial measures are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and when assessing the Company’s operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for net loss or other consolidated statements of comprehensive loss data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance.

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