The increase in other sales over the second quarter of 2023 was mainly due to the increase in sales of accessories, charging piles, and provision of power solutions, as a result of continued growth in the number of our users, partially offset by a decrease in revenue from sales of used cars.

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin

  • Cost of sales in the third quarter of 2023 was RMB17,543.2 million (US$2,404.5 million), representing an increase of 55.7% from the third quarter of 2022 and an increase of 102.0% from the second quarter of 2023.

  • Gross profit in the third quarter of 2023 was RMB1,523.3 million (US$208.8 million), representing a decrease of 12.2% from the third quarter of 2022 and an increase of 1,650.9% from the second quarter of 2023.
  • Gross margin in the third quarter of 2023 was 8.0%, compared with 13.3% in the third quarter of 2022 and 1.0% in the second quarter of 2023.

Operating Expenses

  • Research and development expenses in the third quarter of 2023 were RMB3,039.1 million (US$416.5 million), representing an increase of 3.2% from the third quarter of 2022 and a decrease of 9.1% from the second quarter of 2023.

The slight increase in research and development expenses over the third quarter of 2022 was mainly attributable to the increased personnel costs in research and development functions, partially offset by the decreased design and development costs and deduction of expenses due to the support for technology advancement provided by local governmental authorities during the third quarter of 2023.

Non-GAAP Disclosure

The Company uses non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted cost of sales (non-GAAP), adjusted research and development expenses (non-GAAP), adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses (non-GAAP), adjusted loss from operations (non-GAAP), adjusted net loss (non-GAAP), adjusted net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders (non-GAAP) and adjusted basic and diluted net loss per share/ADS (non-GAAP), in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. The Company defines adjusted cost of sales (non-GAAP), adjusted research and development expenses (non-GAAP), adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses (non-GAAP) and adjusted loss from operations (non-GAAP) and adjusted net loss (non-GAAP) as cost of sales, research and development expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses, loss from operations and net loss excluding share-based compensation expenses. The Company defines adjusted net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders (non-GAAP), adjusted basic and diluted net loss per share/ADS (non-GAAP) as net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and basic and diluted net loss per share/ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses and accretion on redeemable non-controlling interests to redemption value. By excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses and accretion on redeemable non-controlling interests 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 “Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this press release.
