Management Commentary

Mr. He Xiaopeng, Chairman and CEO of XPeng, said, “In the third quarter, we continued record- setting growth with the highest vehicle deliveries among China’s startup new energy vehicle automakers. This outperformance testifies to the market’s recognition of the differentiated value our vertically integrated in-house developed software and hardware bring to our vehicles.”

Mr. He added, “We are committed to advancing the clear roadmap for our full-stack in-house technology and making high-performance smart products accessible to a broader customer base. Our leading technology is further showcased in the upcoming Navigation Guided Pilot (“NGP”) that expands usage to complex city driving scenarios. The solid progress we’ve made in the NGP fuels greater confidence in our ability to explore autonomous driving enabled mobility solutions in the future, such as robotaxi technologies.”

“Looking forward, XPeng will continue to trailblaze new and disruptive advancements that redefine China’s automobile industry, transforming future mobility with technology,” Mr. He concluded.

“We achieved strong growth momentum in the third quarter despite the challenges of semiconductor shortage. Our third quarter delivery number approximated 2020’s full-year delivery total and our year-to-date deliveries more than doubled last year’s full-year delivery count,” said Dr. Hongdi Brian Gu, Honorary Vice Chairman and President of XPeng. “Our record-high deliveries drove significant revenue growth of 187.4% year-over-year in the third quarter with further gross margin expansion. We believe our innovative mindset, outstanding full-stack R&D capabilities and a powerful pipeline of products will continue to drive our future success.”

Unaudited Financial Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021

Total revenues were RMB5,719.9 million (US$887.7 million) for the third quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 187.4% from RMB1,990.1 million for the same period of 2020 and an increase of 52.1% from RMB3,761.3 million for the second quarter of 2021.

Revenues from vehicle sales were RMB5,460.1 million (US$847.4 million) for the third quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 187.7% from RMB1,898.0 million for the same period of 2020 and an increase of 52.3% from RMB3,584.4 million for the second quarter of 2021. The year-over- year and the quarter-over-quarter increases were mainly attributable to higher vehicle deliveries, especially of the P7, as a result of channel expansion and brand value improvement.

Revenues from services and others were RMB259.9 million (US$40.3 million) for the third quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 182.2% from RMB92.1 million for the same period of 2020 and an increase of 46.9% from RMB176.9 million for the second quarter of 2021. The year-over- year and the quarter-over-quarter increases were mainly attributed to more income from service, parts and accessory sales in line with higher accumulated vehicle sales.

Cost of sales was RMB4,899.1 million (US$760.3 million) for the third quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 158.0% from RMB1,898.6 million for the same period of 2020 and an increase of 47.9% from RMB3,312.7 million for the second quarter of 2021. The year-over-year and the quarter-over-quarter increases were mainly due to the increase of vehicle deliveries as described above.

Gross margin was 14.4% for the third quarter of 2021, compared with 4.6% and 11.9% for the third quarter of 2020 and the second quarter of 2021, respectively.

Vehicle margin was 13.6% for the third quarter of 2021, compared with 3.2% for the same period of 2020 and 11.0% for the second quarter of 2021. The improvement was primarily attributable to better product mix and manufacturing efficiency driven by economies of scale.

Research and development expenses were RMB1,264.2 million (US$196.2 million) for the third quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 99.0% from RMB635.4 million for the same period of 2020 and an increase of 46.4% from RMB863.5 million for the second quarter of 2021. The year- over-year and the quarter-over-quarter increases were mainly due to (i) the increase in employee compensation as a result of expanded research and development staff, and (ii) higher expenses relating to the development of our new models, namely the G9 and the P5, and related software technologies to support future growth.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were RMB1,538.4 million (US$238.8 million) for the third quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 27.8% from RMB1,203.8 million for the same period of 2020 and an increase of 49.3% from RMB1,030.8 million for the second quarter of 2021. The year-over-year and the quarter-over-quarter increases were 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.

Other income was RMB179.2 million (US$27.8 million) for the third quarter of 2021. The Company received higher government subsidies of approximately RMB312.1 million, offset partially by relocation and disposal cost of approximately RMB132.9 million related to Haima Plant.

Loss from operations was RMB1,802.6 million (US$279.8 million) for the third quarter of 2021, compared with RMB1,744.2 million for the same period of 2020 and RMB1,443.2 million for the second quarter of 2021. The higher year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter losses were mainly attributable to higher operating expenses as described above.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP Results” set forth in this announcement.
