Management Commentary

“Our deliveries sustained robust growth momentum in the second quarter despite unprecedented circumstances brought by the resurgence of COVID-19 in certain areas of China,” said Mr. He Xiaopeng, Chairman and CEO of XPeng. “We are on track for the official launch of our flagship G9 SUV in September 2022. The G9 is expected to become the industry’s new benchmark for comfort, luxury and advanced technologies in the medium- to large-size SUV segment. With the G9, we have taken both electrification and smart technologies to new heights. These new technologies will be integrated into our future models and alongside our extraordinary product design we will set the bar for an unparalleled driving experience.”

“We are accelerating the pace of new product launches to round out our offering with vehicles priced between RMB150,000 to RMB500,000. In 2023, we plan to roll out two new competitive models that will further propel rapid sales volume growth,” Mr. He concluded.

“Our solid financial results for the second quarter of 2022 reflect our ability to meet strong market demand despite supply chain challenges and cost inflation,” said Dr. Hongdi Brian Gu, Honorary Vice Chairman and President of XPeng. “We expect our investments in R&D to bear fruit in the upcoming quarters with the roll-out of multiple new products, which will unleash new growth potential and reinforce our leading position in the smart electric vehicle industry.”

Total deliveries reached 11,524 vehicles in July 2022, representing a 43% increase year-over-year. The deliveries consisted of 6,397 P7 smart sports sedans, 3,608 P5 smart family sedans and 1,519 G3 and G3i compact smart SUVs.

 

   

As of July 31, 2022, year-to-date total deliveries reached 80,507, representing a 108% increase year-over-year.

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

Total revenues were RMB7,436.3 million (US$1,110.2 million) for the second quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 97.7% from RMB3,761.3 million for the same period of 2021 and a decrease of 0.2% from RMB7,454.9 million for the first quarter of 2022.

Revenues from vehicle sales were RMB6,938.5 million (US$1,035.9 million) for the second quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 93.6% from RMB3,584.4 million for the same period of 2021 and a decrease of 0.9% from RMB6,998.8 million for the first quarter of 2022. The year-over-year increase was mainly attributable to higher vehicle deliveries, especially for the P7 and P5. Vehicle sales revenue remained stable compared with the first quarter of 2022.

Revenues from services and others were RMB497.8 million (US$74.3 million) for the second quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 181.4% from RMB176.9 million for the same period of 2021 and an increase of 9.1% from RMB456.1 million for the first quarter of 2022. The year-over-year and the quarter-over-quarter increases were mainly attributable to more service, parts and accessory sales in line with higher accumulated vehicle sales.

Cost of sales was RMB6,627.0 million (US$989.4 million) for the second quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 100.0% from RMB3,312.7 million for the same period of 2021 and an increase of 1.3% from RMB6,544.2 million for the first quarter of 2022. The year-over-year increase was mainly in line with vehicle deliveries as described above, while the quarter-over-quarter change was primarily attributable to the increase in raw material and battery cost.

Gross margin was 10.9% for the second quarter of 2022, compared with 11.9% and 12.2% for the second quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, respectively.

Vehicle margin was 9.1% for the second quarter of 2022, compared with 11.0% for the same period of 2021 and 10.4% for the first quarter of 2022. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly attributable to battery cost increase, offset partially by revenue increase as a result of selling price adjustment.

Research and development expenses were RMB1,265.0 million (US$188.9 million) for the second quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 46.5% from RMB863.5 million for the same period of 2021 and an increase of 3.6% from RMB1,221.3 million for the first quarter of 2022. 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 new vehicles models to support future growth.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were RMB1,664.5 million (US$248.5 million) for the second quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 61.5% from RMB1,030.8 million for the same period of 2021 and comparable to the level of the first quarter of 2022. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to the expansion of our sales network and associated personnel cost, and commission for franchised store sales.

Loss from operations was RMB2,090.8 million (US$312.1 million) for the second quarter of 2022, compared with RMB1,443.2 million for the same period of 2021 and RMB1,920.5 million for the first quarter of 2022. The higher quarter-over-quarter loss was mainly attributable to lower gross profit and higher operating expenses mentioned above.

Non-GAAP loss from operations, which excludes share-based compensation expenses, was RMB1,854.3 million (US$276.8 million) for the second quarter of 2022, compared with RMB1,345.0 million for the same period of 2021 and RMB1,747.9 million for the first quarter of 2022.

Exchange loss from foreign currency transactions was RMB938.3 million (US$140.1 million) for the second quarter of 2022, primarily resulting from the revaluation impact of Renminbi-dominated assets held in U.S. functional currency subsidiaries and depreciation of Renminbi against U.S. dollars in the second quarter of 2022.

Net loss was RMB2,700.9 million (US$403.2 million) for the second quarter of 2022, compared with RMB1,194.6 million for the same period of 2021 and RMB1,700.8 million for the first quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP net loss, which excludes share-based compensation expenses, was RMB2,464.4 million (US$367.9 million) for the second quarter of 2022, compared with RMB1,096.4 million for the same period of 2021 and RMB1,528.2 million for the first quarter of 2022.

Net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of XPeng was RMB2,700.9 million (US$403.2 million) for the second quarter of 2022, compared with RMB1,194.6 million for the same period of 2021 and RMB1,700.8 million for the first quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of XPeng, which excludes share-based compensation expenses, was RMB2,464.4 million (US$367.9 million) for the second quarter of 2022, compared with RMB1,096.4 million for the same period of 2021 and RMB1,528.2 million for the first quarter of 2022.

Basic and diluted net loss per ADS attributable to ordinary shareholders of XPeng were both RMB3.16 (US$0.47) for the second quarter of 2022, compared with RMB1.50 for the second quarter of 2021 and RMB2.00 for the first quarter of 2022.

 

4


Non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per ADS attributable to ordinary shareholders of XPeng were both RMB2.88 (US$0.43) for the second quarter of 2022, compared with RMB1.38 for the second quarter of 2021 and RMB1.80 for the first quarter of 2022.

Balance Sheets

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term deposits, short-term investments and long-term deposits of RMB41,339.3 million (US$6,171.8 million), compared with RMB43,543.9 million as of December 31, 2021 and RMB41,714.0 million as of March 31, 2022.

Business Outlook

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

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

“Our deliveries sustained robust growth momentum in the second quarter despite unprecedented circumstances brought by the resurgence of COVID-19 in certain areas of China,” said Mr. He Xiaopeng, Chairman and CEO of XPeng. “We are on track for the official launch of our flagship G9 SUV in September 2022. The G9 is expected to become the industry’s new benchmark for comfort, luxury and advanced technologies in the medium- to large-size SUV segment. With the G9, we have taken both electrification and smart technologies to new heights. These new technologies will be integrated into our future models and alongside our extraordinary product design we will set the bar for an unparalleled driving experience.”

“We are accelerating the pace of new product launches to round out our offering with vehicles priced between RMB150,000 to RMB500,000. In 2023, we plan to roll out two new competitive models that will further propel rapid sales volume growth,” Mr. He concluded.

Revenues from vehicle sales were RMB13,937.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, representing an increase of 118.0% from RMB6,394.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The year-over-year increase was mainly attributable to higher vehicle deliveries, especially for the P7 and P5.

Revenues from services and others were RMB954.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, representing an increase of 200.5% from RMB317.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was mainly attributed to more service, parts and accessory sales in line with higher accumulated vehicle sales.

Cost of sales was RMB13,171.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, representing an increase of 122.0% from RMB5,933.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was mainly due to the higher vehicle deliveries as described above.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were RMB3,306.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, representing an increase of 88.7% from RMB1,751.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Exchange loss from foreign currency transactions was RMB891.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily resulting from the revaluation impact of Renminbi-dominated assets held in U.S. functional currency subsidiaries and depreciation of Renminbi against U.S. dollars in the second quarter of 2022.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

1

Liquidity and capital resources

The Group has been incurring losses from operations since inception. The Group incurred net losses of RMB4,401.6 million and RMB1,981.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Accumulated deficit amounted to RMB20,593.2 million as of June 30, 2022. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately RMB2,286.3 million and RMB2,562.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 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 initial public offering and follow-on offering on New York Stock Exchange in August and December 2020, the Group received the net proceeds, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions, fees and offering expenses, of RMB11,409.2 million and RMB15,980.2 million, respectively. In July 2021, with the completion of its global offering, including the Hong Kong Public Offering and the International Offering, on Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Group further received net proceeds, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions, of HKD15,823.3 million.

As of June 30, 2022, the balance of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, excluding RMB1.4 million (December 31, 2021: RMB9.9 million) restricted as to withdrawal or use for legal disputes, short-term deposits, short-term investments and long-term deposits was approximately RMB41,337.9 million (December 31, 2021: RMB43,534.0 million).

Material acquisitions and disposals

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Group did not have any material acquisitions and disposals.

Risk management

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Group uses Renminbi as its reporting currency. Most of the Group’s revenues and expenses are denominated in Renminbi, while the Group also has certain portion of cash denominated in the U.S. dollar from its financing activities. The functional currency of the Company and subsidiaries in the United States and Hong Kong is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of subsidiaries in the PRC, the variable interest entity (“VIE”) and the VIE’s subsidiaries is the Renminbi. The Group’s exposure to U.S. dollars exchanges rate fluctuation mainly arises from the Renminbi-denominated cash and cash equivalents and other receivables held by the Group and its subsidiaries whose functional currency is U.S. dollars. The Group enters into hedging transactions in an effort to reduce its exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Group entered into foreign exchange forward contracts, which were not qualified for hedge accounting. As of June 30, 2022, the Group did not hold any foreign exchange forward contracts for hedging purposes.

To the extent that the Group needs to convert U.S. dollars into Renminbi for its operations, appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the Renminbi amount that the Group receives from the conversion. Conversely, if the Group decides to convert Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on its Class A ordinary shares or ADSs or for other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Renminbi would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amounts available to the Group.

Interest Rate Risk

The Group’s interest rate risk arises from investments and borrowings. Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Borrowings in both fixed rate and floating rate carry a degree of interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk, while borrowings issued at floating rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk.

The Group had not used any financial instrument to hedge its exposure to interest rate risk.

Compliance with corporate governance code

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

Pursuant to code provision C.2.1 of part 2 of the CG Code as set out in Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules, companies listed on the Hong Kong 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 separate 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 of directors of the Company (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, during the Reporting Period, the Company has complied with all applicable principles and code provisions of the CG Code.

Compliance with code for securities transactions

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

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, 2022, results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 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, 2021. 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, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period.

REVISION OF ANNUAL CAPS FOR RESEARCH AND

DEVELOPMENT COLLABORATION AND

REVISION OF PRICING POLICY FOR

TECHNICAL CONSULTING SERVICES

 

A.

BACKGROUND

XPeng Inc. (the “Company”) refers to the Hong Kong prospectus issued by the Company on June 25, 2021 (the “Prospectus”). Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Prospectus.

Research and Development Collaboration

As disclosed in the Prospectus, the Group collaborates with the associates of Alibaba Group in the Group’s research and development activities by licensing and purchasing their software and information technique services, which primarily include cloud computing services and licensing of software, electronic navigation system and map data (the “Research and Development Collaboration”). The Company has originally set the annual caps to be paid by the Group to the associates of Alibaba Group as RMB114,010,000 and RMB193,695,000, respectively, for licensing and purchasing software and information technique services for the two years ending December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023.

 

1


The Group separately negotiates with the associates of Alibaba Group for the terms and rates of the Research and Development Collaboration with reference to the prevailing market price of the type of technical service and licensing based on arm’s length negotiation, and the Group would solicit quotations from independent third parties for similar technical service and licensing to assess the fairness of the price. With respect to cloud computing services, the price and amount are determined based on the actual usage of the services, the relevant unit service rate published by the associates of Alibaba Group on its official website from time to time with respect to different types of cloud computing services and respective discounts of over 25% over such unit service rate. With respect to licensing of electronic navigation system and map data, the Group is charged with scaled price based on its Smart EV production volume with respect to the map data and its updates and fixed price with respect to the technical support services. With respect to licensing of software, the Group is charged with fixed price, which is determined with reference to the price paid by independent third parties and the price of equivalent software possessed by independent third parties.

Technical Consulting Services

As of June 18, 2021, the Group has respectively entered into the technical consulting services framework agreements (the “Technical Consulting Services Framework Agreements”) with Shenzhen Pengxing and Guangzhou Huitian, pursuant to which the Group provides technical consulting, technical training and technical services, as well as certain operational support services, including human resources management and services, to Shenzhen Pengxing and Guangzhou Huitian.

In accordance with the Technical Consulting Services Framework Agreements, the Group charges Shenzhen Pengxing and Guangzhou Huitian based on the actual expenses of the services the Group incurred and a markup rate of 15%. The actual expenses will be determined based on the salaries and human resource costs of the Group’s personnel providing the services to Shenzhen Pengxing and Guangzhou Huitian and the actual amount of time they spend in the relevant projects.

B.

REVISION OF ANNUAL CAPS FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COLLABORATION

Taking into account the Group’s actual business needs, the Company estimates that the existing annual caps in relation to the Research and Development Collaboration in respect of the two years ending December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023 will not be sufficient. Accordingly, the Board resolved to revise the relevant annual caps as below:

 

     Revised Annual Caps
For the year ending December 31,
 
         2022              2023      
     (RMB in thousand)

Collaboration with Associates of Alibaba Group

     270,000        610,000  

For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 and the six months ended 30 June 2022, the aggregate amount of costs and expenses incurred related to Alibaba Group’s associates providing research and development collaboration was RMB5,620.1 thousand, RMB12,466.7 thousand, RMB15,858.9 thousand, RMB46,180.7 thousand and RMB62,447.6 thousand, respectively. The significant increases of the aggregate amounts paid since 2019 are in line with (i) the substantial increase of the Group’s research and development expenses; (ii) the fast growth of advanced driver-assistant system (“ADAS”) services and total number of Smart EVs sold by the Group; (iii) the rise of users of mobile application of the Company; and (iv) the increase in sales volume of the Group’s higher-end Smart EVs, which are equipped with the specific software licensed. The table below sets forth further breakdown of the historical amounts:

The revised annual caps for the Research and Development Collaboration have been determined with reference to, among other things, (i) the fast-growing transaction amount for the year ended 31 December 2021 and the six months ended 30 June 2022; (ii) the increasing demand for cloud computing services as the Group’s ADAS services and total number of Smart EVs sold continue to increase; (iii) the expected substantial increase in the Group’s overall research and development expenses, reflecting increase in the Group’s spending on the development of new EV models, Smart EV platform, autonomous driving system and other vehicle-related software; (iv) the growth of users of mobile application of the Company, which leads to more demand for cloud computing capacity; (v) the expected increase in sales volume of the Group’s higher-end Smart EVs with XPILOT 3.0 and XPILOT 3.5, which will be equipped with the specific software licensed.

The remaining terms of the Research and Development Collaboration with the associates of Alibaba Group as disclosed in the Prospectus remain unchanged.

Alibaba Group is a leading market player in terms of cloud computing services, electronic navigation system and map data in China and also operates the largest e-commerce platform in China. As the Group’s collaboration with the associates of Alibaba Group in research and development commenced back in 2017, the Company considers that the continuous collaboration will be beneficial to the Group in light of the quality, efficiency and convenience provided by the collaboration. The Company believes that the revised annual caps are in line with the Group’s actual business needs.

 

C.
