Unaudited Financial Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022

Total revenues were RMB6.82 billion (US$0.96 billion) for the third quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 19.3% from RMB5.72 billion for the same period of 2021 and a decrease of 8.2% from RMB7.44 billion for the second quarter of 2022.

Revenues from vehicle sales were RMB6.24 billion (US$0.88 billion) for the third quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 14.3% from RMB5.46 billion for the same period of 2021 and a decrease of 10.1% from RMB6.94 billion for the second quarter of 2022. The year-over-year increase was mainly attributable to higher vehicle deliveries, while the quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly due to lower vehicle deliveries for the P5 and G3i.

Revenues from services and others were RMB0.58 billion (US$0.08 billion) for the third quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 124.1% from RMB0.26 billion for the same period of 2021 and an increase of 17.0% from RMB0.50 billion for the second quarter of 2022. The year-over-year and the quarter-over-quarter increases were mainly attributable to more services, parts and accessory sales in line with higher accumulated vehicle sales.

Cost of sales was RMB5.90 billion (US$0.83 billion) for the third quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 20.4% from RMB4.90 billion for the same period of 2021 and a decrease of 11.0% from RMB6.63 billion for the second quarter of 2022. The year-over-year increase was explained by higher vehicle sales and higher material cost, and the quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly in line with vehicle deliveries as described above.

Gross margin was 13.5% for the third quarter of 2022, compared with 14.4% and 10.9% for the third quarter of 2021 and the second quarter of 2022, respectively.

Vehicle margin was 11.6% for the third quarter of 2022, compared with 13.6% for the same period of 2021 and 9.1% for the second quarter of 2022. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily attributable to the product mix changes.

Research and development expenses were RMB1.50 billion (US$0.21 billion) for the third quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 18.5% from RMB1.26 billion for the same period of 2021 and an increase of 18.5% from RMB1.26 billion for the second quarter of 2022. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to the increase in employee compensation as a result of expanded research and development staff, and the quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily associated with higher new vehicle development to support future growth.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were RMB1.63 billion (US$0.23 billion) for the third quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 5.7% from RMB1.54 billion for the same period of 2021 and a decrease of 2.3% from RMB1.66 billion for the second quarter of 2022. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to expansion of our sales network and associated personnel cost. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly attributable to lower operating expenses.

Loss from operations was RMB2.18 billion (US$0.31 billion) for the third quarter of 2022, compared with RMB1.80 billion for the same period of 2021 and RMB2.09 billion for the second quarter of 2022. The higher quarter-over-quarter loss was mainly attributable to higher operating expenses mentioned above.

Non-GAAP loss from operations, which excludes share-based compensation expenses, was RMB2.02 billion (US$0.28 billion) for the third quarter of 2022, compared with RMB1.70 billion for the same period of 2021 and RMB1.85 billion for the second quarter of 2022.

Impact of foreign currency revaluation reflected the following results:

  1. Exchange loss from foreign currency transactions was RMB0.55 billion (US$0.08 billion) for the third quarter of 2022, primarily resulting from the depreciation impact of Renminbi-denominated assets (other receivables) held in U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries. Such revaluation was included in net loss.
  2. Foreign currency translation adjustment was RMB1.69 billion (US$0.24 billion) gain for the third quarter of 2022, primarily resulting from the appreciation of U.S. dollar-denominated assets. Such revaluation was included in the comprehensive loss, but not net loss.

Net loss was RMB2.38 billion (US$0.33 billion) for the third quarter of 2022, compared with RMB1.59 billion for the same period of 2021 and RMB2.70 billion for the second quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP net loss, which excludes share-based compensation expenses, was RMB2.22 billion (US$0.31 billion) for the third quarter of 2022, compared with RMB1.49 billion for the same period of 2021 and RMB2.46 billion for the second quarter of 2022.

Net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of XPENG was RMB2.38 billion (US$0.33 billion) for the third quarter of 2022, compared with RMB1.59 billion for the same period of 2021 and RMB2.70 billion for the second quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of XPENG, which excludes share-based compensation expenses, was RMB2.22 billion (US$0.31 billion) for the third quarter of 2022, compared with RMB1.49 billion for the same period of 2021 and RMB2.46 billion for the second quarter of 2022.

The difference between comprehensive loss and net loss reflected primarily the revaluation impact of U.S. dollar-denominated assets mentioned above.

Basic and diluted net loss per ADS attributable to ordinary shareholders of XPENG were both RMB2.77 (US$0.39) for the third quarter of 2022, compared with RMB1.89 for the third quarter of 2021 and RMB3.16 for the second quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per ADS were both RMB2.59 (US$0.36) for the third quarter of 2022, compared with RMB1.77 for the third quarter of 2021 and RMB2.88 for the second quarter of 2022.

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.
