Unaudited Financial Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026

Total revenues were RMB13.03 billion (US$1.89 billion) for the first quarter of 2026, representing a decrease of 17.6% from RMB15.81 billion for the same period of 2025 and a decrease of 41.4% from RMB22.25 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025.

Revenues from vehicle sales were RMB11.00 billion (US$1.59 billion) for the first quarter of 2026, representing a decrease of 23.5% from RMB14.37 billion for the same period of 2025, and a decrease of 42.3% from RMB19.07 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases were mainly attributable to lower vehicle deliveries.

Revenues from services and others were RMB2.03 billion (US$0.29 billion) for the first quarter of 2026, representing an increase of 41.2% from RMB1.44 billion for the same period of 2025 and a decrease of 36.1% from RMB3.18 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to increased revenues from technical research and development services ("technical R&D services") and parts and accessories sales. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily due to the reduction in technical R&D services revenues following a significant milestone catch-up in the prior quarter, as well as no revenue contribution from carbon credit trading in the current quarter.

Cost of sales was RMB10.35 billion (US$1.50 billion) for the first quarter of 2026, representing a decrease of 22.5% from RMB13.35 billion for the same period of 2025 and a decrease of 40.9% from RMB17.51 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases were mainly in line with vehicle deliveries as described above.

Gross margin was 20.6% for the first quarter of 2026, compared with 15.6% for the same period of 2025 and 21.3% for the fourth quarter of 2025.

Vehicle margin was 12.1% for the first quarter of 2026, compared with 10.5% for the same period of 2025 and 13.0% for the fourth quarter of 2025. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to the cost reduction and improvement in product mix of models. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was due to higher unit vehicle costs resulting from increased memory chip and battery related costs.

Services and others margin was 66.5% for the first quarter of 2026, compared with 66.4% for the same period of 2025 and 70.8% for the fourth quarter of 2025. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was due to a decreased share of the revenue from technical R&D services and parts and accessories sales within total services and other revenue.

Research and development expenses were RMB2.91 billion (US$0.42 billion) for the first quarter of 2026, representing an increase of 46.8% from RMB1.98 billion for the same period of 2025 and an increase of 1.1% from RMB2.87 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to higher expenses related to the development of new vehicle models and AI-related technologies as the Company expanded its product portfolio to support future growth.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were RMB1.88 billion (US$0.27 billion) for the first quarter of 2026, representing a decrease of 3.2% from RMB1.95 billion for the same period of 2025 and a decrease of 32.5% from RMB2.79 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases were primarily due to the lower commission to the franchised stores.

Other income, net was RMB0.18 billion (US$0.03 billion) for the first quarter of 2026, representing a decrease of 66.5% from RMB0.54 billion for the same period of 2025 and a decrease of 78.3% from RMB0.84 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases were primarily due to the decrease in receipt of government subsidies.

Fair value (loss) gain on derivative liability relating to the contingent consideration was a gain of RMB0.05 billion (US$0.01 billion) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with a loss of RMB0.12 billion for the same period of 2025 and a gain of RMB0.04 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025. This non-cash (loss) gain resulted from the fair value change of the contingent consideration related to the acquisition of DiDi Global Inc. ("DiDi")'s smart auto business.

Loss from operations was RMB1.87 billion (US$0.27 billion) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB1.04 billion for the same period of 2025 and RMB0.04 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP measures, such as non-GAAP (loss) profit from operations, non-GAAP net (loss) profit, non-GAAP net (loss) profit attributable to ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP basic (loss) profit per ordinary share and non-GAAP basic (loss) profit per ADS, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. By excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses and fair value loss (gain) on derivative liability relating to the contingent consideration, 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) profit or other consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) profit 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.
