Management Discussion and Analysis

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Total revenues were RMB6,712.2 million (US$1,039.6 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2021, representing an increase of 569.3% from RMB1,002.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Revenues from vehicle sales were RMB6,394.7 million (US$990.4 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2021, representing an increase of 600.2% from RMB913.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to higher vehicle sales especially for the P7, which started mass delivery in late June 2020.

Revenues from services and others were RMB317.5 million (US$49.2 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2021, representing an increase of 254.4% from RMB89.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The year-over-year increase was mainly attributed to more income from services, parts and accessory sales in line with higher accumulated vehicle sales.

Cost of sales was RMB5,933.8 million (US$919.0 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2021, representing an increase of 471.1% from RMB1,039.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to the increase of vehicle deliveries as described above.

Gross margin was 11.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared with negative 3.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Vehicle margin was 10.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared with negative 5.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The improvement was primarily attributable to expansion of product portfolio, favorable material cost reduction and revenue recognition of XPILOT software sales.

Research and development expenses were RMB1,398.6 million (US$216.6 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2021, representing an increase of 121.8% from RMB630.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to (i) the increase in employee compensation as a result of expanded research and development staff, and (ii) higher development expenses relating to vehicles and related software technologies.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were RMB1,751.6 million (US$271.3 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2021, representing an increase of 119.2% from RMB799.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The year-over- year increase was mainly due to (i) higher marketing, promotional and advertising expenses to support vehicle sales, and (ii) the expansion of our sales network and associated personnel cost, and commission for franchised store sales.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Group has been incurring losses from operations since inception. The Group incurred net losses of RMB1,981.1 million and RMB795.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Group’s liquidity is based on its ability to enhance its operating cash flow position, obtain capital financing from equity interest investors and borrow funds to fund its general operations, research and development activities and capital expenditures. The Group’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to execute its business plan successfully, which includes increasing market acceptance of our products to boost its sales volume to achieve economies of scale while applying more effective marketing strategies and cost control measures to better manage operating cash flow position and obtaining funds from outside sources of financing to generate positive financing cash flows. In August and December 2020, with the completion of its initial public offering and follow-on offering on NYSE, the Company received the net proceeds, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions, fees and estimated offering expenses, of RMB11,409.2 million and RMB15,980.2 million, respectively.

Net proceeds from the listing, after deducting the underwriting fees and commissions, including the over-allotment option, were approximately HK$15,823.3 million.

As of June 30, 2021, the balance of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, excluding RMB8.5 million (December 31, 2020: RMB35.6 million) restricted as to withdrawal or use for legal disputes, short-term deposits, short-term investments and long-term deposits was RMB32,862.7 million (December 31, 2020: RMB35,306.6 million).

Report on Review of Interim Financial Information

To the Board of Directors of XPeng Inc.

(incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim financial information set out on pages 13 to 87, which comprises the condensed consolidated balance sheet of XPeng Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) as of June 30, 2021 and the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive loss, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ (deficit) equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of a report on interim financial information to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review and to report our conclusion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial information of the Group is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Other matter

The comparative information for the condensed consolidated balance sheet is based on the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020. The comparative information for the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ (deficit) equity and cash flows, and related explanatory notes, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 has not been audited or reviewed.

Organization and Nature of Operations

 

  (a)

Principal activities

XPeng Inc. (“XPeng” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands on December 27, 2018, as an exempted company with limited liability. The Company, its subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entity (“VIE”) and VIE’s subsidiaries (“VIEs”, also refer to VIE and its subsidiaries as a whole, where appropriate) are collectively referred to as the “Group”.

The Group designs and develops smart electric vehicles. It delivered its first model of smart electric vehicles, G3, commercially in December 2018. The Group manufactures the G3i, the new mid-cycle facelift version of the G3, and the P7 through its own plant in Zhaoqing. The Group delivered its second model of smart electric vehicles, a four-door sports sedan, P7, since May 2020. As of June 30, 2021, its primary operations are conducted in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).

 

  (b)

History of the Group and Reorganization

The Group commenced its operation through Guangzhou Chengxing Zhidong Automotive Technology Co., Ltd. (“Chengxing”) since 2015. Chengxing was founded by Mr. Heng Xia, Mr. Tao He and Mr. Xiaopeng He (collectively the “Founders”), and subsequently obtained financing from various third party investors (collectively “Third Party Investors”) from 2016 through 2018.

In preparation for its initial public offering (“IPO”), the Group completed a reorganization (the “Reorganization”) in September 2019, which involved the following steps:

 

   

On December 27, 2018, the Company was established under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability.

 

   

On January 7, 2019, XPeng Limited was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

   

On February 21, 2019, XPeng (HK) Limited was incorporated in Hong Kong as a wholly owned subsidiary of XPeng Limited.

 

   

On June 21, 2019, Guangdong Xiaopeng Motors Technology Co., Ltd. (“WFOE”) was established as a wholly owned subsidiary of XPeng (HK) Limited in the PRC.

History of the Group and Reorganization (continued)

 

   

On September 2019, the Company issued 17,897,478 ordinary shares, 2,021,635 Series A Preferred Shares, 1,859,082 Series A1 Preferred Shares, 23,343 Series A2 Preferred Shares, 3,198,839 Series B Preferred Shares, 4,361,678 Series B1 Preferred Shares, 1,045,497 Series B2 Preferred Shares, 3,183,626 Series C Preferred Shares and 7,612,147 warrants in aggregate, to the existing shareholders of Chengxing, based on their respective equity interests in Chengxing. Concurrently, as a transitional arrangement and part of the Reorganization, a series of contractual agreements were entered into among WFOE, Chengxing and its existing shareholders, including the exclusive business cooperation agreement, the equity pledge agreement, the exclusive option agreement and the power of attorney. Consequently, WFOE became the primary beneficiary of Chengxing. In May 2020, WFOE exercised its rights under the contractual arrangement and purchased 100% of Chengxing. Consequently, Chengxing became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of XPeng Inc.

The equity interests held by the existing shareholders in the Company after the Reorganization are the same as the equity interests held by them in Chengxing before the Reorganization. Out of the equity interests issued, 43.44%, 38.09% and 18.47% were in the form of ordinary shares, Preferred Shares and warrants, respectively.

Prior to the Reorganization, the shareholders of Chengxing included individual shareholders and institutional shareholders. Pursuant to laws applicable to PRC residents and entities incorporated in the PRC, PRC individuals should complete registration of its outbound investments (i.e. the foreign exchange registration under State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) Circular 37), and PRC institutional investors should complete its statutory filings and foreign exchange registrations for outbound investment (i.e. ODI), respectively, before such PRC residents or entities’ can legally own offshore investments or equity interests in offshore entities. As such, all PRC individual shareholders and PRC institutional shareholders of Chengxing shall complete their relevant registrations and/or statutory filings, as appropriate, before they can, in accordance with applicable PRC laws, hold directly or indirectly the ordinary shares of the Company, which is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The warrants are to reflect the holder’s (indirect) rights, obligations and interest in the Company as if the holders are holding Preferred Shares of the Company before the holders complete their necessary registration for outbound investment to exercise their warrants into Preferred Shares of the Company. Once the holders complete the necessary registration for outbound investment, the holders are required to exercise the warrants immediately at a nil price per share. The warrants are transferrable by the holder subject to approval of the Company’s board of directors. Accordingly, the warrants are accounted for and presented based on the terms on the underlying Preferred Shares that the warrants are exercisable into (see Note 19).

History of the Group and Reorganization (continued)

 

The shareholders and their respective equity interest in the Company remain the same immediately before and after the Reorganization. Further, the Company, being the holding company after the Reorganization, is a newly established shell company. Accordingly, the Company determined that the Reorganization lacks substance and should be treated as a non-substantive merger with no change in the basis of assets, liabilities and shareholders’ deficits of Chengxing.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented as if the Group Reorganization had already taken place as of the beginning of the period covered by these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

On March 20, 2020, the Company completed a 1:25 share split of all of its ordinary and Preferred Shares of the Company. All shares and per share amounts presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the share split.

In August and December 2020, the Company completed its IPO and follow-on offering (“FO”) on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (Note 20).

Organization and Nature of Operations (continued)

Liquidity

The Group has been incurring losses from operations since inception. The Group incurred net losses of RMB1,981,130,000 and RMB795,803,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Accumulated deficit amounted to RMB13,303,553,000 and RMB11,322,423,000 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately RMB2,562,481,000 and RMB1,212,667,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Group’s liquidity is based on its ability to enhance its operating cash flow position, obtain capital financing from equity interest investors and borrow funds to fund its general operations, research and development activities and capital expenditures. The Group’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to execute its business plan successfully, which includes increasing market acceptance of the Group’s products to boost its sales volume to achieve economies of scale while applying more effective marketing strategies and cost control measures to better manage operating cash flow position and obtaining funds from outside sources of financing to generate positive financing cash flows. With the completion of its IPO and FO on NYSE in August and December 2020, the Group received the net proceeds, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions, fees and estimated offering expenses, of RMB11,409,248,000 and RMB15,980,227,000, respectively. In July 2021, with the completion of its Global Offering on Hong Kong Stock Exchange (“HKEX”), the Group received the net proceeds, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions, of HKD15,823,315,000. As of June 30, 2021, the Group’s balance of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, excluding RMB8,512,000 restricted as to withdrawal or use for legal disputes, short-term deposits and short-term investments was RMB30,646,113,000.

Management has concluded, after giving consideration to its plans as noted above, the net proceeds received upon completion of IPO, FO and the Global Offering on HKEX, and existing balance of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021, that the Group has sufficient funds for sustainable operations and it will be able to meet its payment obligations from operations and debt related commitments for the next twelve months from the issuance of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities during the normal course of operations.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

  (a)

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted consistent with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments as necessary for the fair statement of the Group’s financial position as of June 30, 2021, results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the presumption that users of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have read or have access to the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding fiscal years. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2020. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding fiscal year. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period.

 

  (b)

Principles of consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and the VIEs for which the Company is the ultimate primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries and VIEs have been eliminated upon consolidation.

A subsidiary is an entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power: has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors (the “Board”): to cast majority of votes at the meeting of the Board or to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee under a statute or agreement among the shareholders or equity holders.

A VIE is an entity in which the Company, or its subsidiary, through contractual arrangements, bears the risks of, and enjoys the rewards normally associated with, ownership of the entity, and therefore the Company or its subsidiary is the primary beneficiary of the entity. In determining whether the Company or its subsidiaries are the primary beneficiary, the Company considered whether it has the power to direct activities that are significant to the VIE’s economic performance, and also the Company’s obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the VIEs.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

  (c)

Use of estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, and the reported revenues and expenses during the reported period in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements primarily include, but are not limited to, the determination of performance obligations and allocation of transaction price to those performance obligations, the determination of warranty cost, lower of cost and net realizable value of inventory, assessment for impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets, recoverability of receivables, valuation of deferred tax assets, determination of share-based compensation expenses as well as redemption value of the Preferred Shares.

Management bases the estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

  (d)

Fair value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be either recorded or disclosed at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it also considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

The Group applies a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. This guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques, which is based on whether the inputs into the valuation technique are observable or unobservable. The hierarchy is as follows:

Level I — Valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are unadjusted quoted prices from active markets for assets or liabilities that are identical to the assets or liabilities being measured.


32   XPeng Inc.

 

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Information

 

2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

  (d)

Fair value (continued)

 

Level II — Valuation techniques in which significant inputs include quoted prices from active markets for assets or liabilities that are similar to the assets or liabilities being measured and/or quoted prices for assets or liabilities that are identical or similar to the assets or liabilities being measured from markets that are not active. Also, model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets are Level II valuation techniques.

Level III — Valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are valuation technique inputs that reflect the Group’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The fair value guidance describes three main approaches to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities:

(1) market approach; (2) income approach and (3) cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace an asset.

When available, the Group uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of an asset or liability. If quoted market prices are not available, the Group will measure fair value using valuation techniques that use, when possible, current market-based or independently sourced market parameters, such as interest rates and currency rates.

Financial assets and liabilities of the Group primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short- term deposits, short-term investments, accounts receivable, finance lease receivables, long-term deposits, derivative assets, other assets, accounts and notes payable, short-term borrowings, lease liabilities, accruals and other liabilities, derivative liabilities and long-term borrowings. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 , the carrying values of these financial instruments, except for other non-current assets, long-term deposit, long-term borrowings and non-current portion for lease liabilities, are approximated to their fair values due to the short- term maturity of these instruments.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

  (d)

Fair value (continued)

 

Financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of short-term investments and derivative assets or liabilities. All of its short-term investments and derivative assets or liabilities, which are comprised primarily of structured deposits, bank financial products and forward exchange contracts, are classified within Level II of the fair value hierarchy because they are floating income products linked to currency exchange rate, gold and benchmark interest rate. They are not valued using quoted market prices, but can be valued based on other observable inputs, such as interest rates and currency rates. The Group has derivative liabilities that are measured at fair value. The derivative liabilities are used to account for the redemption right that met the definition of a derivative and are classified within level III at the fair value hierarchy as the Company adopted the equity allocation model with unobservable inputs for which there are little or no market data to determine the fair value.

 

  (e)

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand, time deposits and highly liquid investments placed with banks or other financial institutions, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use, and which have original maturities of three months or less.

The Group has identified the relevant risk characteristics of its customers and the related receivables, other current assets and finance lease receivables which include size, type of the services or the products the Group provides, or a combination of these characteristics. Receivables with similar risk characteristics have been grouped into pools. For each pool, the Group considers the historical credit loss experience, current economic conditions, supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and any recoveries in assessing the lifetime expected credit losses. Other key factors that influence the expected credit loss analysis include customer demographics, payment terms offered in the normal course of business to customers, and industry-specific factors that could impact the Group’s receivables. Additionally, external data and macroeconomic factors are also considered. This is assessed at each quarter based on the Group’s specific facts and circumstances. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Group recorded RMB10,464,000 and RMB2,479,000 expected credit loss expense in selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, the expected credit loss provision for the current and non-current assets are RMB16,220,000 and RMB5,158,000, respectively.

The Group typically does not carry significant accounts receivable related to vehicle sales and related sales as customer payments are due prior to vehicle delivery, except for amounts of vehicle sales in relation to government subsidy to be collected from government on behalf of customers.

Finance lease receivables primarily consist of the aggregate of the minimum lease receivable at the inception of the lease and the initial direct costs. The Group classified its finance lease receivables into different categories from performing to non-performing based on the credit risk of the lessees and the past due days, if any, of the principal and/or interest repayments. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the majority of the finance lease receivables are categorized as performing since the customers have a low risk of default, a strong capacity to meet contractual cash flows and have not past due repayments and the amounts of finance lease receivables of other categories are immaterial.

The Group considers historical credit loss rate for each category of deposits and other receivables and adjusts for forward looking macroeconomic data except for certain long aging receivables for which the debtors failed to make demand repayment and the Group has made specific provision on a case-by-case basis.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when or as the control of the goods or services is transferred upon delivery to customers. Depending on the terms of the contract and the laws that apply to the contract, control of the goods and services may be transferred over time or at a point in time. Control of the goods and services is transferred over time if the Group’s performance:

 

   

provides all of the benefits received and consumed simultaneously by the customer;

 

   

creates and enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Group performs; or

 

   

does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

If control of the goods and services transfers over time, revenue is recognized over the period of the contract by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. Otherwise, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods and services.

Contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the Group allocates overall contract price to each distinct performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price in accordance with ASC 606. The Group generally determines standalone-selling prices for each individual distinct performance obligation identified based on the prices charged to customers. If the standalone selling price is not directly observable, it is estimated using expected cost plus a margin or adjusted market assessment approach, depending on the availability of observable information, the data utilized, and considering the Group’s pricing policies and practices in making pricing decisions. Assumptions and estimations have been made in estimating the relative selling price of each distinct performance obligation, and changes in judgments on these assumptions and estimates may affect the revenue recognition. The discount provided in the contract are allocated by the Group to all performance obligations as conditions under ASC 606-10-32-37 are not met.

When either party to a contract has performed, the Group presents the contract in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as a contract asset or a contract liability, depending on the relationship between the entity’s performance and the customer’s payment.

A contract asset is the Group’s right to consideration in exchange for goods and services that the Group has transferred to a customer. A receivable is recorded when the Group has an unconditional right to consideration. A right to consideration is unconditional if only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due.

Revenue recognition (continued)

 

If a customer pays consideration or the Group has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional, before the Group transfers a good or service to the customer, the Group presents the contract liability when the payment is made or a receivable is recorded (whichever is earlier). A contract liability is the Group’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. The Group’s contract liabilities are primarily resulted from the multiple performance obligations identified in the vehicle sales contract, which is recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue based on the consumption of the services or the delivery of the goods.

Vehicle sales

The Group generates revenue from sales of electric vehicles, together with a number of embedded products and services through a contract. The Group identifies the customers who purchase the vehicle as its customers. There are multiple distinct performance obligations explicitly stated in a series of contracts including sales of vehicle, free charging within 4 years or 100,000 kilometers, extended lifetime warranty, option between household charging pile and charging card, vehicle internet connection services, services of lifetime free charging in XPeng- branded super charging stations and lifetime warranty of battery which are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606. The standard warranty provided by the Group is accounted for in accordance with ASC 460, Guarantees, and the estimated costs are recorded as a liability when the Group transfers the control of vehicle to a customer.

Car buyers in the PRC are entitled to government subsidies when they purchase electric vehicles. For efficiency purpose and better customer service, the Group or Zhengzhou Haima Automobile Co., Ltd. (“Haima Auto”) applies for and collect such government subsidies on behalf of the customers. Accordingly, customers only pay the amount after deducting government subsidies. The Group determined that the government subsidies should be considered as part of the transaction price because the subsidy is granted to the buyer of the electric vehicle and the buyer remains liable for such amount in the event the subsidies were not received by the Group due to the buyer’s fault such as refusal or delay of providing application information.

The overall contract price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation based on the relative estimated standalone selling price. The revenue for sales of the vehicle and household charging pile is recognized at a point in time when the control of the vehicle is transferred to the customer and the charging pile is installed at customer’s designated location. For vehicle internet connection service, the Group recognizes the revenue using a straight-line method. For the extended lifetime warranty and lifetime warranty of battery, given limited operating history and lack of historical data, the Group decides to recognize the revenue over time based on a straight-line method initially, and will continue monitoring the cost pattern periodically and adjust the revenue recognition pattern to reflect the actual cost pattern as it becomes available. For the free charging within 4 years

or 100,000 kilometers and charging card to be consumed to exchange for charging services, the Group considers that a measure of progress based on usage (rather than a time-based method) best reflects the performance as it’s typically a promise to deliver the underlying service rather than a promise to stand ready. For the services of lifetime free charging in XPeng-branded super charging station, the Group recognize the revenue over time based on straight-line method during the expected useful life of the vehicle.

Initial refundable deposits for intention orders and non-refundable deposits for vehicle reservations received from customers prior to vehicle purchase agreements signed are recognized as refundable deposits from customers (accruals and other liabilities) and advances from customers (accruals and other liabilities). When vehicle purchase agreements are signed, the consideration for the vehicle and all embedded services must be paid in advance, which means the payments received are prior to the transfer of goods or services by the Group, the Group records a contract liability (deferred revenue) for the allocated amount regarding to those unperformed obligations. At the same time, advances from customers are classified as contract liability (deferred revenue) as part of the consideration.

XPILOT, the Group’s intelligent driving system, provides assisted driving and parking functions tailored for driving behavior and road conditions in China. The Group rolled out XPILOT 3.0 in January 2021. A customer can subscribe for XPILOT 3.0 by either making a lump sum payment or paying annual installments for a three-year period. XPILOT 3.0 will feature several new functions, including a navigation guided pilot for highway driving and advanced intelligent parking. Revenue related to XPILOT 3.0 is recognized at a point in time when intelligent driving functionality of XPILOT 3.0 is activated and transferred to the customers.

Other services

The Group provides variable other services to customers including services embedded in a sales contract, super charging service, maintenance service, ride hailing services and vehicle leasing service.

Services embedded in a sales contract may include free charging within 4 years or 100,000 kilometers, extended lifetime warranty, option between household charging pile and charging card, vehicle internet connection services, lifetime warranty of battery and services of free charging services in XPeng-branded charging station. Other services also include super charging service and maintenance service. These services are recognized under ASC 606.

Other services (continued)

 

The Group provides ride hailing services with smart commuting solutions to customers by using the Group’s self-owned G3 vehicles and hiring and training drivers managed by third party agents via service agreement. The Group believes it acts as a principle in the ride hailing services as it controls a specified good or service before it is transferred to the customers. The revenue for ride hailing services is recognized overtime in a period when the ride hailing services is consumed under ASC 606.

Revenue from vehicle leasing service to customers under operating lease and finance lease are recognized under ASC 842.

Practical expedients and exemptions

The Group follows the guidance on immaterial promises when identifying performance obligations in the vehicle sales contracts and concludes that lifetime roadside assistance, traffic ticket inquiry service, courtesy car service, on-site troubleshooting and parts replacement service, are not performance obligations considering these services are value-added services to enhance customer experience rather than critical items for vehicle driving and forecasted that usage of these five services will be very limited. The Group also performs an estimation on the stand-alone fair value of each promise applying a cost plus margin approach and concludes that the standalone fair value of foresaid services are insignificant individually and in aggregate, representing less than 1% of vehicle gross selling price and aggregate fair value of each individual promise.

Considering the qualitative assessment and the result of the quantitative estimate, the Group concluded not to assess whether promises are performance obligation if they are immaterial in the context of the contract and the relative stand-alone fair value individually and in aggregate is less than 1% of the contract price, namely the lifetime roadside assistance, traffic ticket inquiry service, courtesy car service, on-site troubleshooting and parts replacement service. Related costs are then accrued instead.

Customer Upgrade Program

In the third quarter of 2019, due to the upgrade of the G3 from 2019 version (“G3 2019”) to 2020 version (“G3 2020”), the Group voluntarily offered all owners of G3 2019 model the options to either receive loyalty points, valid for 5 years since the grant date, which can be redeemed for goods or services, or obtain an enhanced trade-in right contingent on a future purchase starting from the 34th month of the original purchase date but only if they purchase a new vehicle from the Group. The owners of G3 2019 model had to choose one of the two options within 30 days after receiving the notice. Anyone who did not make the choice before the date was deemed abandoning the options. At the time the offers were made, the Group still had unfulfilled performance obligations for services to the owners of G3 2019 model associated with their original purchase. The Group considered this offering is to improve the satisfaction of the owners of G3 2019 model but was not the result of any defects or resolving past claims regarding the G3 2019 model.

As both options provide a material right (a significant discount on future goods or services) for no consideration to existing customers with unfulfilled performance obligations, the Group considers this arrangement to be a modification of the existing contracts with customers. Further, as the customers did not pay for the additional rights, the contract modification is accounted for as the termination of the original contract and commencement of a new contract, which will be accounted for prospectively. The material right from the loyalty points or the trade-in right shall be considered in the reallocation of the remaining consideration from the original contracts among the promised goods or services not yet transferred at the date of the contract modification. This reallocation is based on the relative stand-alone selling prices of these various goods and services.

For the material right from loyalty points, the Group estimated the probability of points redemption when determining the stand-alone selling price. Since the fact that most merchandise can be redeemed without requiring a significant amount of points compared with the amount of points provided to customers, the Group believes it is reasonable to assume all points will be redeemed and no forfeiture is estimated currently. The amount allocated to the points as a separate performance obligation is recorded as a contract liability (deferred revenue) and revenue will be recognized when future goods or services are transferred. The Group will continue to monitor forfeiture rate data and will apply and update the estimated forfeiture rate at each reporting period.

According to the terms of the trade-in program, owners of G3 2019 who elected the trade-in right have the option to trade in their G3 2019 at a fixed predetermined percentage of its original G3 2019 purchase price (the “guaranteed trade-in value”) starting from the 34th month of the original purchase date but only if they purchase a new vehicle from the Group. Such trade-in right is valid for 120 days. That is, if the owner of a G3 2019 does not purchase a new vehicle within that 120-day period, the trade-in right expires. The guaranteed trade-in value will

be deducted from the retail selling price of the new vehicle purchase. The customer cannot exercise the trade- in right on a stand-alone basis solely as a function of their original purchase of the G3 2019 and this program, and therefore, the Group does not believe the substance of the program is a repurchase feature that provides the customer with a unilateral right of return. Rather, the trade-in right and purchase of a new vehicle are linked as part of a single transaction to provide a loyalty discount to existing customers. The Group believes the guaranteed trade-in value will be greater than the expected market value of the G3 2019 at the time the trade-in rights become exercisable, and therefore, the excess value is essentially a sales discount on the new vehicle purchase. The Group estimated the potential forfeiture rate based on the market expectation of the possibility of the future buying and applied the forfeiture rate when determining the stand-alone selling price at the date of the contract modification. The amount allocated to the trade-in right as a separate performance obligation is recorded as a contract liability (deferred revenue) and revenue will be recognized when the trade-in right is exercised and a new vehicle is purchased. The Group will continue to reassess the reasonableness of the forfeiture rate applied in the subsequent reporting periods.

Research and development expenses

All costs associated with research and development (“R&D”) are expensed as incurred. R&D expenses consist primarily of employee compensation for those employees engaged in R&D activities, design and development expenses with new technology, materials and supplies and other R&D related expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, R&D expenses were RMB1,398,638,000 and RMB630,578,000, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and marketing, promotional and advertising expenses. Advertising expenses consist primarily of costs for the promotion of corporate image and product marketing. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, advertising expenses were RMB280,272,000 and RMB179,380,000, respectively, and total sales and marketing expenses were RMB1,389,098,000 and RMB513,292,000, respectively.

Government grants

The Group’s PRC based subsidiaries received government subsidies from certain local governments. The Group’s government subsidies consist of specific subsidies and other subsidies. Specific subsidies are subsidies that the local government has provided for a specific purpose, such as land fulfillment costs and production and capacity subsidies related to the manufacturing plant construction of Zhaoqing XPeng (“Zhaoqing manufacturing plant”). Other subsidies are the subsidies that the local government has not specified its purpose for and are not tied to future trends or performance of the Group, receipt of such subsidy income is not contingent upon any further actions or performance of the Group and the amounts do not have to be refunded under any circumstances. The Group recorded specific subsidies as other non-current liabilities when received or reduced interest expense. The specific subsidies are amortized over the depreciation period of associated assets to reduce their depreciation cost. Other subsidies are recognized as other income upon receipt as further performance by the Group is not required.

Share-based compensation

The Group grants RSUs, restricted shares and share options (collectively, “Share-based Awards”) to eligible employees and accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. Share-based awards are measured at the grant date fair value of the awards and recognized as expenses using graded vesting method or straight-line method, net of estimated forfeitures, if any, over the requisite service period. For awards with performance conditions, the Company would recognize compensation cost if and when it concludes that it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved.

The fair value of the RSUs and restricted shares granted prior to the completion of the IPO were assessed using the income approach/discounted cash flow method, with a discount for lack of marketability given that the shares underlying the awards were not publicly traded at the time of grant. This assessment requires complex and subjective judgments regarding the Company’s projected financial and operating results, its unique business risks, the liquidity of its ordinary shares and its operating history and prospects at the time the grants were made. The fair value of share options granted prior to the completion of the IPO is estimated on the grant or offering date using the Binomial option-pricing model. The assumptions used in share-based compensation expense recognition represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and application of management judgment. If factors change or different assumptions are used, the share-based compensation expenses could be materially different for any period. Moreover, the estimates of fair value of the awards are not intended to predict actual future events or the value that ultimately will be realized by grantees who receive Share-based Awards, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by the Company for accounting purposes.

The fair value of the RSUs granted subsequent to the completion of the IPO is estimated based on the fair market value of the underlying ordinary shares of the Company on the date of grant.

Share options granted to employees:

Since 2015, Chengxing has granted options to certain directors, executive officers and employees. The options granted are exercisable only upon the completion of an IPO or change in control.

Share options granted to employees includes both service condition and performance condition. Employees are required to provide continued service through the satisfaction of the occurrence of change of control or an IPO to retain the award since no share option would be vested prior to the occurrence of the Liquidity Event even though the service condition has been satisfied. Given the vesting of the share options granted is contingent upon the occurrence of the Liquidity Event, there is no share-based compensation expense to be recognized until the date of consummation of Liquidity Event.

On June 28, 2020, the board of directors of the Company approved the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (“ESOP Plan”) with 161,462,100 Class A ordinary shares reserved. Options, restricted shares, RSUs, dividend equivalents, share appreciation rights and share payments may be granted under the ESOP Plan.

In June 2020, the Group agreed with the participants to cancel the existing stock options granted during the period between 2015 and the first quarter of 2020 along with a concurrent grant of a replacement RSUs (“Replacement”).

Restricted share units granted to employees:

Prior to the completion of the IPO, RSUs granted to employees include both service condition and performance condition. Employees are required to provide continued service through the satisfaction of the occurrence of Liquidity Event to retain the award since no RSU would be vested prior to the occurrence of the Liquidity Event even though the service condition has been satisfied. The Group also granted RSUs in 2020 with only performance condition and the RSUs would be vested upon the occurrence of Liquidity Event. Given the vesting of these two types of RSUs granted is contingent upon the occurrence of the Liquidity Event, there is no share-based compensation expense to be recognized until the date of consummation of Liquidity Event. In July 2020, RSUs vested immediately upon grant date were granted to employees and the share-based compensation expense were recognized immediately on the grant date.

Subsequent to the completion of the IPO, the Group granted RSUs with only service condition to employees and the share-based compensation expense were recognized over the vesting period using straight-line method.

Earnings (losses) per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to holders of ordinary shares, considering the accretion on Preferred Shares to redemption value, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net income is allocated between ordinary shares and other participating securities based on their participating rights. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders, as adjusted for the effect of dilutive ordinary equivalent shares, if any, by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive ordinary equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Ordinary equivalent shares consist of shares issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares using the if-converted method, unvested restricted shares, and ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding share options (using the treasury stock method). Ordinary equivalent shares are not included in the denominator of the diluted earnings per share calculation when inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods therein. Early adoption of the standard is permitted, including adoption in interim or annual periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Group adopted the ASU on January 1, 2021, which did not have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, Investments — Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments — Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) — Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in this update clarify the interaction of the accounting for equity securities under Topic 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Group adopted the ASU on January 1, 2021, which did not have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The amendments in this update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met.

Concentration and Risks

 

  (a)

Concentration of credit risk

Assets that potentially subject the Group to significant concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term deposits, long-term deposit and short-term investment. The maximum exposure of such assets to credit risk is their carrying amounts as of the balance sheet dates. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, substantially all of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term deposits, long-term deposit and short-term investments were placed with the PRC and international financial institutions. Management chooses these institutions because of their reputations and track records for stability, and their known large cash reserves, and management periodically reviews these institutions’ reputations, track records, and reported reserves. Management expects that any additional institutions that the Group uses for its cash and bank deposits would be chosen with similar criteria for soundness. Bank failure is uncommon in the PRC and the Group believes that those Chinese banks that hold the Group’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term deposits, long-term deposit and short-term investments are financially sound based on publicly available information.

 

  (b)

Foreign currency exchange rate risk

The revenues and expenses of the Group’s entities in the PRC are generally denominated in RMB and their assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB. The Group’s oversea financing activities are denominated in U.S. dollars. The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. Remittances of foreign currencies into the PRC or remittances of RMB out of the PRC as well as exchange between RMB and foreign currencies require approval by foreign exchange administrative authorities and certain supporting documentation. The State Administration for Foreign Exchange, under the authority of the People’s Bank of China, controls the conversion of RMB into other currencies.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, states that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The three-tiered fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes which inputs should be used in measuring fair value, is comprised of: (Level I) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level II) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly and (Level III) unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data. The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available in determining fair value.

Fair value measurement on a non-recurring basis

The Company measures investments without readily determinable fair value on a non-recurring basis when impairment charges and fair value change due to observable price change are recognized. These non-recurring fair value measurements use significant unobservable inputs (Level III). The Company uses a combination of valuation methodologies, including market and income approaches based on the Company’s best estimate to determine the fair value of these investments. An observable price change is usually resulting from new rounds of financing of the investees. The Company determines whether the securities offered in new rounds of financing are similar to the equity securities held by the Company by comparing the rights and obligations of the securities. When the securities offered in new rounds of financing are determined to be similar to the securities held by the Company, the Company adjusts the observable price of the similar security to determine the amount that should be recorded as an adjustment in the carrying value of the security to reflect the current fair value of the security held by the Company by using the back-solve method based on the equity allocation model with adoption of some key parameters such as risk-free rate and equity volatility. Inputs used in these methodologies primarily include discount rate, the selection of comparable companies operating in similar businesses and etc.

Intangible Assets, Net(continued)

 

  (i)

Acquisition and subsequent sale of the 100% equity interest in a company that holds a manufacturing license

On March 12, 2020, the Group entered into a share transfer agreement (the “STA”) to acquire the 100% equity interest in a company (the “Acquiree”) from its shareholders (the “Sellers”) for a total cash consideration of RMB510 million (the “Acquisition”).

In March 2020, as part of the equity purchase, all of the Acquiree’s net assets with a carrying value of RMB8 million which included the manufacturing license were acquired by the Group under the terms of the STA, subject to regulatory approval. In accordance with the STA, on June 6, 2020, immediately after approval from the relevant PRC regulatory authority was granted for the manufacturing license to be transferred from the Acquiree to the Group, the Group sold its 100% equity interest in the Acquiree to the Sellers’ related parties for consideration of RMB16 million, resulting in a sale of all of the Acquiree’s net assets, except for the manufacturing license. Given the acquisition from the Sellers and the subsequent sale to the Sellers’ related parties were in accordance with the terms of the STA, the consideration received of RMB16 million, in substance, represents an adjustment or reduction to the total cash consideration of RMB510 million incurred by the Group for the manufacturing license. The net effect of the series of transactions outlined above is that only the manufacturing license was acquired and retained by the Group. During the period from acquisition to the sale of the Acquiree after regulatory approval was obtained for the transfer of the manufacturing license to the Group, which is approximately three months, the Group was the nominee shareholder of the Acquiree since it was not entitled to any of the economic results of the Acquiree. In accordance with ASC 810, the Group did not obtain a controlling financial interest in the Acquiree during this period, and accordingly, did not consolidate the financial statements of the Acquiree.

The Acquisition is determined to be an asset acquisition as the Group did not obtain a controlling financial interest in the Acquiree upon closing of the Acquisition in May 2020. On the basis above, the Group accounted for the acquisition of the manufacturing license as an intangible asset with a total cost of RMB494 million. The useful life of the license is assessed as indefinite as there is no limit to the valid period of the license under the relevant PRC laws and regulations.

Out of the initial cash consideration of RMB510 million, RMB100 million was paid in December 2019, RMB100 million was paid in March 2020, RMB100 million was paid in April 2020, RMB100 million was paid in July 2020 and RMB110 million was paid in August 2020. For the repurchase consideration of RMB16 million due from the Sellers’ related parties, RMB10 million was received in June 2020 and RMB6 million was received in November 2020.

Acquisition of the 100% equity interest in a company that holds surveying and mapping qualification

On May 20, 2021, the Group entered into a restructuring agreement to acquire 100% of the equity interest of Zhitu Technology with cash consideration of RMB250 million through the bankruptcy procedures of the Zhitu Technology. Zhitu Technology is primarily engaged in the operation of land surface mobile surveying and preparing true three-dimensional maps and navigation electronic maps and possesses surveying and mapping qualification certificate. Upon completion of the acquisition on June 23, 2021, there were only the surveying and mapping qualification certificate and an immaterial amount of assets in relation to the surveying and mapping qualification certificate retained by Zhitu Technology. The consideration of the transaction is substantially for and concentrated in the surveying and mapping qualification certificated. Consequently, the Acquisition is determined to be an asset acquisition. On the basis above, the Group accounted for the acquisition of the surveying and mapping qualification as an intangible asset with a total cost of RMB250 million. The useful life of the surveying and mapping qualification is assessed as indefinite as it’s expected that there is no difficulty to renew the valid period of the qualification under the relevant PRC laws and regulations.

Accruals and Other Liabilities (continued)

 

  (i)

On September 19, 2019, the Group entered into a partnership agreement with Guangzhou Industrial Transformation and Upgrading Development Fund Co., Limited (“Industrial Fund”) and Shenzhen Antuo Hengyuan Fund management Co., Limited (“Shenzhen Antuo”) to set up a limited liability partnership entity (the “Kunpeng Kechuang LLP”). Industrial Fund and Shenzhen Antuo subscribed for RMB98,000,000 and RMB10,000 paid in capital in Kunpeng Kechuang LLP with 24.5% and 0.0025%, of the shares, respectively. On October 22, 2019 and October 24, 2019, Industrial Fund and Shenzhen Antuo injected RMB98,000,000 and RMB10,000 in cash to Kunpeng Kechuang LLP, respectively. Pursuant to the investment agreement, Industrial Fund and Shenzhen Antuo do not have substantive participating rights to Kunpeng Kechuang LLP nor are able to transfer their interest in Kunpeng Kechuang LLP to other third party. In addition, at any time within three years the Group is entitled to upon its request or is obligated to upon Industrial Fund’s request to purchase from Industrial Fund all of its interest in Kunpeng Kechuang LLP at its investment amount paid plus interest calculated at the current annual interest rate of the 3-year Treasury Bond in the PRC. Upon exit of Industrial Fund, Kunpeng Kechuang LLP will be dissolved and Shenzhen Antuo will be entitled to its investment amount paid amounted to RMB10,000. As such, the Group consolidates Kunpeng Kechuang LLP. The investments by Industrial Fund and Shenzhen Antuo are accounted for as a liability because liability classification is required when the Group enters into a purchased call and written put with the non-controlling interests holders, and the put and call have the same fixed exercise price and exercise date.

The interest payable for the investment by Industrial Fund calculated at the current annual interest rate of the 3-year Treasury Bond in the PRC amounted to RMB6,626,000 as of June 30, 2021.

Borrowings (continued)

 

In May 2017, Zhaoqing XPeng obtained a facility, specified for expenditures of the construction of Zhaoqing manufacturing plant, of up to RMB1,600,000,000 from Zhaoqing High-tech Zone Construction Investment Development Co., Ltd. (“Zhaoqing High-tech Zone”). In December 2020, RMB800,000,000 out of the RMB1,600,000,000 borrowings from Zhaoqing High-tech Zone was repaid and concurrently a borrowing equivalently amounting to RMB800,000,000 was obtained from a bank in the PRC, with a maturity date from December 18, 2020 to December 17, 2028. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the effective interest rate of the RMB800,000,000 loans from Zhaoqing High-tech Zone and the RMB800,000,000 bank loans is 4.90% and 4.98% per annum, respectively.

Moreover, the Group received subsidies from government for interest expenses incurred associated with borrowings. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, upon the acceptance of subsidy application by government, the Group recognized the subsidies to reduce the interest expenses capitalized in the construction of Zhaoqing manufacturing plant or reduce related interest expenses as incurred if any. As of June 30, 2021, the principal amount of RMB4,000,000 of the bank loans was repaid in advance.

Certain of the Group’s banking facilities are subject to the fulfillment of covenants relating to certain of the Group’s consolidated statements of financial position performance and results, as are commonly found in lending arrangements with financial institutions. If the Group were to breach the covenants, the drawn down facilities would become payable on demand. The Group regularly monitors its compliance with these covenants. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, none of the covenants relating to drawn down facilities had been breached.

The carrying value of the borrowings approximates its fair value as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The interest rates under the loan agreements with the banks were determined based on the prevailing interest rates in the market. The Group classifies the valuation techniques that use these inputs as Level II.

The non-controlling interests consisted of the following three equity financing arrangements.

 

  1)

Financing in an amount of RMB160 million from Guangzhou GET Investment Holdings Co., Ltd. (“Guangzhou GET Investment”)

In December 2020, Chengxing and Guangzhou Xiaopeng Automotive Investment Co., Ltd. (“Guangzhou Xiaopeng Investment”), subsidiaries of the Group, entered into a partnership agreement with Guangzhou GET Investment to set up a limited liability partnership entity (the “Kunpeng Chuangye LLP”) whose operating period is designed for 9 years since the date of the registration of its business license. Chengxing, Guangzhou Xiaopeng Investment and Guangzhou GET Investment subscribed for RMB200,000,000, RMB10,000 and RMB160,000,000 paid in capital in Kunpeng Chuangye LLP with 55.5540%, 0.0028% and 44.4432%, of the equity interest, respectively. The consideration of RMB160 million was paid by Guangzhou GET Investment to Kunpeng Chuangye LLP in January 2021. Pursuant to the investment agreement, Guangzhou GET Investment does not have substantive participating rights to Kunpeng Chuangye LLP nor are able to transfer their interest in Kunpeng Chuangye LLP to other third party. During the 9-year operating period of Kunpeng Chuangye LLP, Guangzhou GET Investment is only entitled to the interest calculated at an interest rate of 4% per annum based on its investment amount RMB160,000,000 from Kunpeng Chuangye LLP. Upon liquidation, if any, at any time within 9 years or at due date of 9-year operating period, Guangzhou GET Investment will be entitled to and only entitled to its investment amount amounting to RMB160,000,000. If Kunpeng Chuangye LLP failed to pay the investment amount RMB160,000,000 or the interested calculated at an interest rate of 4% per annum to Guangzhou GET Investment, Chengxing, also guaranteed by Xiaopeng Technology, will be liable for the unpaid amount. As such, the Group consolidates Kunpeng Chuangye LLP via its subsidiaries Chengxing and Guangzhou Xiaopeng Investment. The investment held by Guangzhou GET Investment is accounted for as a liability with interest expenses amortized through the period given as the risks and rewards of owning 44.4432% of equity interest in Kunpeng Chuangye LLP have been retained by the Group and the substance of the transaction is that Guangzhou GET Investment is providing financing to the Group via Kunpeng Chuangye LLP.

The interest payable for the investment by Guangzhou GET Investment calculated at an interest rate of 4% per annum amounted to RMB3,033,000 as of June 30, 2021.

After setting aside or paying in full the aggregate Liquidation Preference Amount of the Series C Preferred Shares, the Series B2 Preferred Shares, the Series B1 Preferred Shares, the Series B Preferred Shares, the Series A2 Preferred Shares, the Series A1 Preferred Shares, the Series A Preferred Shares and the Ordinary Shares, the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to Shareholders, if any, shall be distributed to the holders of Class A and Class B Ordinary Shares and Preferred Shares on a pro rata basis, based on the number of Shares then held by each holder on an as converted basis.

Dividends rights

Each holder of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any cash or non-cash dividend on the Ordinary Shares, but pari passu with other holders of Preferred Shares, noncumulative dividends at a simple rate of four percent (4%) per annum of the Original Issue Price of such Preferred Shares on each such Preferred Share held by such holder, payable when, as and if declared by the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board shall declare dividends on Ordinary Shares, each holder of any Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive the higher of (i) four percent (4%) of the Original Issue Price of such Preferred Share, and (ii) the amount of dividends in respect of the Ordinary Shares into which such Preferred Share is then convertible.

Voting rights

The holders of the Preferred Shares shall have the right to one vote for each ordinary share into which each outstanding Preferred Share held could then be converted. The holders of the Preferred Shares vote together with the Ordinary Shareholders, and not as a separate class or series, on all matters put before the shareholders. The holders of the Preferred Shares are entitled to appoint a total of 4 out of 7 directors of the Board.

Conversion upon IPO

Upon the completion of the Company’s IPO, all the issued and outstanding Preferred Shares were converted into Ordinary Shares.

Accounting for Series A, A1, A2, B, B1, B2 and C Preferred Shares

Prior to issuance of Series A1 and A2

The Company classified the Series A Preferred Shares as mezzanine equity in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet because they were contingently redeemable upon the occurrence of certain liquidation events outside of the Company’s control. No accretion was recognized subsequently since it is not probable that the instrument will become redeemable.

Upon issuance of Series A1 and A2

The issuance of Series A1 and A2 Preferred Shares concurrently amended terms of Series A Preferred Shares. Key changes include 1) changing from all shareholders sharing net asset on pro rate basis upon liquidation to having liquidation preference based on the formula and a distribution waterfall and 2) under the liquidation event, an investor shall receive an amount equal to the higher of a) 120% of the original investment amount, and b) 100% of the original investment plus compounded accrued daily interest (on the basis of a 365-day year basis) at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum. The management assessed the amendments quantitatively using the fair value model to Series A and concluded Series A should be accounted for as an extinguishment based on the assessment.

Accounting for Series A, A1, A2, B, B1, B2 and C Preferred Shares (continued)

 

Upon issuance of Series A1 and A2 (continued)

 

Post issuance of Series A1 and A2, the Company classified the Series A, Series A1 and A2 Preferred Shares as mezzanine equity in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet because they were contingently redeemable upon the occurrence of certain liquidation events outside of the Company’s control. No accretion was recognized subsequently since it is not probable that the instrument will become redeemable.

Upon issuance of Series B

The issuance of Series B Preferred Shares concurrently amended terms of Series A, A1 and A2 Preferred Shares. Key changes include (i) under a redemption event, if any holder of outstanding Preferred Shares chooses to sell its interests to a third party but the aggregate price of the Redemption Shares in such sale to third party is less than the Redemption Price of such Redemption Shares, the Company shall be obligated to pay to the Selling Holder the excess, if any, of the Redemption Price over the aggregate price of the Redemption Shares; (ii) if the Company fails to complete a Qualified IPO on or prior to April 16, 2025, the redemption event is triggered.

Prior to the issuance of Series B, the Company was not obligated to pay to the Selling Holder the excess, if any, of the Redemption Price over the aggregate price of the Redemption Shares in the event redemption rights of the Series A, A1 and A2 Preferred Shares were triggered; hence, the redemption right did not meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815. Upon the amendment, the time-based redemption right of Series A, A1 and A2 Preferred Shares, was deemed to have the characteristic of net settlement, and therefore the redemption right met the definition of a derivative. Accordingly, this feature was bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability, initially measured at fair value with changes in fair value in the subsequent periods recognized through earnings, as the feature is not considered clearly and closely related to the host. The Company concluded that the amendment to Series A, A1 and A2 should be accounted for as an extinguishment or modification based on its assessment on the amendments both qualitatively and quantitatively.

Post issuance of Series B

The net settlement mechanism of the redemption right described earlier exist in Series B, B1, B2 and C Preferred Shares subsequently issued. Therefore, the redemption right of Series B, B1 and B2 also met the definition of a derivative and was bifurcated and accounted for as derivative liabilities, which are initially measured at fair value with changes in fair value in the subsequent periods recognized through earnings, as the host contract of the Preferred Shares is considered to be an equity host and the redemption feature is not clearly and closely related to the host contract. The initial carrying value for each series of Preferred Shares recorded in mezzanine equity is allocated on a residual basis, after the recognition of the redemption option at its fair value upon bifurcation. The mezzanine equity component is subsequently accreted to the amount equals to redemption value of each series of Preferred Shares, less the-then fair value of the derivative liability using the interest method.

Series C Preferred Shares (continued)

 

Accounting for extinguishment or modification

The Company concluded that the amendments to the convertible redeemable preferred shares should be accounted for as an extinguishment or modification based on its assessment both qualitatively and quantitatively. A qualitative assessment may be appropriate when the amendments to the convertible redeemable preferred shares are either so inconsequential or so significant that the Company can easily determine how the amendment should be accounted for without performing a quantitative test. When the amendments of preferred stock cannot be assessed qualitatively, a quantitative test is performed to determine whether the amendment should be accounted for as a modification or an extinguishment. If the fair value of the convertible redeemable preferred shares immediately before and after the amendment is substantially different, the amendment will be accounted for as an extinguishment; otherwise, the amendment will be accounted for as a modification. If the assessment resulted in an extinguishment, then the difference between the fair value of the modified Preferred Shares and the carrying value of the original Preferred Shares immediately before the modification shall be recognized as a reduction of, or increase to, retained earnings as a deemed dividend. If the assessment resulted in a modification, the difference between the fair value of the Preferred Shares immediately before and after the modification shall be recognized a reduction of, or increase to, retained earnings as a deemed dividend.

Accounting for a put option of an investor

In April 2020, the Company issued certain Series C to an investor, which is a fund (“Investor Fund”) owned by a partnership. As part of the arrangement, the Company provided a put option to a limited partner (“LP”) of the Investor Fund pursuant to which the LP shall have the right to redeem its LP interests in the Investor Fund (not Series C issued by the Company) with the principal amounting to RMB300,000,000 plus 8% annualized interest (“Fund Redemption Price”) in the event the Company was not able to reach a business agreement with the LP on or before December 31, 2020. The redemption right of the LP is accounted for as a freestanding put option at fair value, which was immaterial as of December 31, 2020. On February 28, 2021, the put option became due and invalid and the LP did not exercise its redemption right.

Share-based Compensation

 

  (a)

Share options

During the period between 2015 and the first quarter of 2020, the Group granted share options to the employees to purchase its shares. One share option represents a right to purchase one Class A ordinary share of the Group with exercise price of RMB0.0004. The share options include both service condition and performance condition. For service condition, there are three types of vesting schedule, which are: (i) 25% of the share options shall become vested on each anniversary of the vesting commencement date for four years thereafter; (ii) 40% of the share options shall become vested on the grant date and 15% of the share options become vested on each anniversary of the vesting commencement date for four years thereafter; (iii) 85% of the share options shall become vested on the grant date and 3.75% of the share options become vested on each anniversary of the vesting commencement date for four years thereafter. In addition to the services condition, employees are also required to provide continued service through the satisfaction of the occurrence of Liquidity Event that occurs within seven years after the vesting commencement date. If no Liquidity Event occurs prior to the seventh anniversary of the vesting commencement date, all share options, even those for which the service condition have been satisfied, shall be forfeited.

Share options granted are measured at the grant date fair value of the awards and recognized as expenses using graded vesting method, net of estimated forfeitures, if any, over the requisite service period. Given the vesting of the share options granted is contingent upon the occurrence of the Liquidity Event, there is no share-based compensation expense being recognized before the Replacement (Note 2(p)).

In June, 2020, the Group agreed with the participants to cancel the existing stock options granted during the period between 2015 and the first quarter of 2020 along with a concurrent grant of a replacement RSUs.

No share-based compensation expenses were recognized for share options during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. As of June 30, 2020, no share options were outstanding.

 

  (b)

Restricted share units and restricted shares upon and subsequent to the Replacement

After the Replacement mentioned in Note 2(p), all share options granted during the period between 2015 and the first quarter of 2020 were replaced by 75,010,330 RSUs and 17,643,400 restricted shares.

The Replacement did not change the classification and vesting condition of Share-based Awards as equity instruments. No additional share-based compensation expenses were recognized as there was no incremental fair value change immediately before and after the Replacement. Therefore, the replacement awards should be accounted for in the same way as its original awards.

Additional RSUs were granted to the employees in 2020. One RSU represents a right relating to one class A ordinary share of the Group with a par value of US$0.00001 per share.

Restricted share units and restricted shares upon and subsequent to the Replacement (continued)

 

The RSUs primarily include both service condition and performance condition. For service condition, vesting schedules include: (i) vesting schedules mentioned in Note 21(a); (ii) 25% of the RSUs shall become vested on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date, and the remaining 75% of the RSUs shall become vested in equal installments on each quarterly anniversary of the vesting commencement date for three years thereafter. In addition to the services condition, employees are also required to provide continued service through the satisfaction of the occurrence of Liquidity Event that occurs within seven or ten years after the vesting commencement date. If no Liquidity Event occurs prior to the seventh or tenth anniversary of the vesting commencement date, all RSUs, even those for which the service condition has been satisfied, shall be forfeited.

The Group granted RSUs in 2020 with only performance condition and the RSUs would be vested upon the occurrence of the Liquidity Event. The Group also granted RSUs in 2020 with no conditions and the RSUs would be vested upon grant.

The RSUs granted prior to the completion of the IPO are measured at the grant date fair value of the awards and recognized as expenses using graded vesting method, net of estimated forfeitures, if any, over the requisite service period.

Subsequent to the completion of the IPO, the Group granted RSUs with only service condition to employees and the RSUs would be vested on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had potential ordinary shares, including non-vested RSUs and restricted shares granted and Preferred Shares. As the Group incurred losses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, these potential ordinary shares were anti-dilutive and excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share of the Company. The weighted-average numbers of non-vested RSUs excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share of the Company were 47,316,892 as of June 30, 2021 and 549,710 as of June 30, 2020. The weighted-average numbers of non-vested restricted shares excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share of the Company were nil as of June 30, 2021 and 290,825 as of June 30, 2020. Preferred Shares to be converted into ordinary shares were nil as of June 30, 2021 and 578,955,379 as of June 30, 2020 on a weighted average basis.

Reconciliation between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which differ in certain respects from International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The main reconciling items include classification and measurement of preferred shares, issuance costs, onerous contract, operating leases and share-based compensation. The following table sets forth the effects of material differences prepared under U.S. GAAP and IFRS:

  (a)

Classification and measurement of preferred shares

Under U.S. GAAP, the preferred shares of the Company are accounted for as two components: (i) mezzanine equity and (ii) the redemption right bifurcated and accounted for as derivative liabilities initially measured at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized through earnings. The mezzanine equity component is subsequently accreted to the amount which equals to redemption value of each series of preferred shares, less the-then fair value of the derivative liability using the interest method.

Under IFRS, the preferred shares, which are redeemable at the option of the holder, represent a financial liability with embedded features subject to bifurcation. The preferred shares are measured at fair value and designated as at fair value through profit or loss. The amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of the liability shall be presented in other comprehensive income; the remaining amount of change in the fair value of the liability shall be presented in profit or loss.

Accordingly, the reconciliation includes a fair value loss difference of nil and RMB6,140,195,000 recognized in the net loss attributable to the Company in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for each of the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

All the preferred shares of the Company were converted into ordinary shares upon the completion of IPO in August 2020. Consequently, there was no such reconciliation item in classification and measurement of preferred shares between U.S. GAAP and IFRS subsequently.

  (b)

Issuance costs

Under U.S. GAAP, specific incremental costs considered directly attributable to the offering of equity securities (“issuance costs”) may be deferred and capitalized against the gross proceeds of the offering.

Under IFRS, only those issuance costs considered directly attributable to the issuance of new shares to investors can be capitalized. Those issuance costs considered directly attributable to the listing of existing shares on a stock exchange are not considered transaction costs that qualify for capitalization. Such costs should be expensed as incurred instead.

Accordingly, the reconciliation includes an expense recognition difference in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive loss of RMB48,813,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 in relation to the issuance costs incurred for the Global Offering of the Company.

 

  (c)

Onerous contract

In the third quarter of 2019, due to the upgrade of the G3 2019 to G3 2020, the Group voluntarily offered a customer upgrade program to all owners of G3 2019 model which was disclosed in Note 2(k). The additional promises included in the customer upgrade program for G3 2019 customers resulted in the Company incurring additional costs to fulfil the related additional promises upon the modification of the contracts with the customers. Such incremental costs exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under the contract. Consequently the upgrade program resulted in an “onerous contract” situation.

Under U.S. GAAP, there is no general guidance available for the recognition of onerous contract except for certain types of contracts or industry-specific arrangements. None of which is considered applicable to the Company’s situation above. Under IFRS, provisions are recognized when a contract becomes onerous, which occurs when the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligation(s) under a contract exceed the economic benefits to be received.

Accordingly, the reconciliation includes an onerous contract cost difference of RMB10,050,000 and RMB4,738,000 reversed in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for each of the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The amounts represent the net losses incurred by the Group as a result of the onerous contract aforementioned above when it first offered the upgrade program to its G3 customers during the year ended December 31, 2019 and the reversal of such losses as the onerous contract provision was partially utilized during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The reconciliation also includes a difference of onerous contract provision made of RMB47,014,000 and RMB57,064,000 as at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Reconciliation between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (continued)

 

  (d)

Operating leases

For operating leases under U.S. GAAP, the subsequent measurement of the lease liability is based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using the discount rate determined at lease commencement, while the right-of-use asset is remeasured at the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for the remaining balance of any lease incentives received, cumulative prepaid or accrued rents, unamortized initial direct costs and any impairment. This treatment under U.S. GAAP results in straight line expense being incurred over the lease term, as opposed IFRS which generally yields a “front-loaded” expense with more expense recognized in earlier years of the lease.

Accordingly, the reconciliation includes an expenses difference recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss of RMB5,942,000 and RMB3,442,000 for each of the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The reconciliation also includes a difference in total shareholders’ equity RMB26,535,000 and RMB20,593,000 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

 

  (e)

Share-based compensation

Under U.S. GAAP, awards with performance targets met during the service period upon such as the fulfillment of a qualified successful IPO is a performance vesting condition. The fair value of the awards should not incorporate the probability of the condition vesting, but rather, recognized only when the performance condition is probable to be achieved. Under IFRS, the cumulative share-based compensation expenses for the awards that have satisfied the service condition up to June 30, 2020, were recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2020, when the performance condition in relation to the successful IPO became more likely than not to be achieved. Accordingly, the reconciliation includes an expense recognition difference in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss of nil and RMB315,094,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Subsequent to the completion of the IPO, the Group granted RSUs with service condition only to employees and the share-based compensation expenses were recognized over the vesting period using straight-line method under U.S. GAAP. While under IFRS, the graded vesting method must be applied. Accordingly, the reconciliation includes an expense recognition difference in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss of RMB68,854,000 and nil for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

General Information

 

Save as disclosed herein, there is no other person known to the Directors or chief executive of the Company who, as at August 31, 2021, had an interest or short position in the Shares or underlying Shares which would fall to be disclosed to the Company under the provisions of Divisions 2 and 3 under Part XV of the SFO or who is, directly or indirectly, interested in 5% or more of the nominal value of any class of share capital carrying rights to vote in all circumstances at general meetings of the Company.

 

(5)

MODEL CODE FOR SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

The Company has adopted the Model Code as set out in Appendix 10 to the Listing Rules as its code of conduct regarding directors’ securities transactions. Having made specific enquiries to all of the Directors, all Directors confirmed that they have fully complied with all relevant requirements set out in the Model Code from the Listing Date to the Latest Practicable Date.

 

(6)

COMPLIANCE WITH THE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE

The Company’s corporate governance practices are based on the principles and code provisions set forth in the Corporate Governance Code and Corporate Governance Report (the “CG Code”) contained in Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to code provision A.2.1 of the CG Code as set out in Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules, companies listed on the Stock Exchange are expected to comply with, but may choose to deviate from the requirement that the responsibilities between the chairman and the chief executive officer should be segregated and should not be performed by the same individual. The Company does not have a separate role for chairman and chief executive officer and Mr. Xiaopeng He currently performs these two roles. The Board believes that vesting the roles of both chairman and chief executive officer in the same person has the benefit of ensuring consistent leadership within the Group and enables more effective and efficient overall strategic planning for the Group. The Board considers that the balance of power and authority for the present arrangement will not be impaired and this structure will enable the Company to make and implement decisions promptly and effectively.

Other than the above, from the Listing Date to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has complied with all applicable principles and code provisions of the CG Code.

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.

The table below sets forth certain information in relation to the unaudited interim reconciliations of GAAP and Non- GAAP results.

REVIEW OF INTERIM UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including reconciliation between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards, of the Group for the six months ended June 30, 2021 have been reviewed by the auditor of the Company, PricewaterhouseCoopers, in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 — “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants for the Hong Kong filing.

WEIGHTED VOTING RIGHTS

The Company is controlled through weighted voting rights. Each Class A ordinary share has one vote per share and each Class B ordinary share has 10 votes per share except with respect to resolutions regarding a limited number of Reserved Matters, where each Share has one vote. The Company’s WVR Structure enables the WVR Beneficiaries to exercise voting control over the Company notwithstanding the WVR Beneficiaries do not hold a majority economic interest in the share capital of the Company. This allows the Company to benefit from the continuing vision and leadership of the WVR Beneficiaries who control the Company with a view to its long-term prospects and strategy.

Shareholders and prospective investors are advised to be aware of the potential risks of investing in companies with WVR Structures, in particular that interests of the WVR Beneficiaries may not necessarily always be aligned with those of the Shareholders as a whole, and that the WVR Beneficiaries will be in a position to exert significant influence over the affairs of the Company and the outcome of Shareholders’ resolutions, irrespective of how other Shareholders vote. Shareholders and prospective investors should make the decision to invest in the Company only after due and careful consideration.
