“XPENG G6, our first strategic model built on SEPA 2.0, has quickly become one of the best- selling models following its official launch in June, turbocharging our sales growth momentum. I believe the success of the G6 is just the beginning and moving forward, a wider range of SEPA2.0- enabled models will be brought to our customers,” said Mr. He Xiaopeng, Chairman and CEO of XPENG. “Along with our unwavering commitment to advancing technology innovation over the past 9 years since our establishment, we’ve created meaningful breakthroughs in commercializing our industry-leading full-stack EV platform and smart technologies, both developed in-house. This is clearly evidenced by the increasing ADAS adoption among our customers and our strategic partnership with Volkswagen, a world-leading carmaker.”

“Benefitting from the new products and supported by more efficient sales channels, our vehicle deliveries have posted sequential growth for six consecutive months,” said Dr. Hongdi Brian Gu, Honorary Vice Chairman and Co-President of XPENG. “With the G6 and other new products accelerating sales growth, we expect gross margin to gradually recover while operating efficiency continues to improve and free cash flow to substantially improve.”

Cost of sales was RMB9.23 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing a decrease of 29.9% from RMB13.17 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2022. The year-over-year decrease was mainly in line with vehicle deliveries as described above, offset by the inventory write-downs and losses on inventory purchase commitments amounting to RMB0.20 billion related to the model G3i as management lowered its forecasted sales due to stronger-than-expected market demands for newly launched vehicle models.

Gross margin was negative 1.4% in the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared with 11.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Vehicle margin was negative 5.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared with 9.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2022. The year-over-year decrease was explained by (i) the inventory write-downs and losses on inventory purchase commitments related to the G3i, with a negative impact of 2.5 percentage points on vehicle margin in the six months ended June 30, 2023, and (ii) increased sales promotions, and the expiry of new energy vehicle subsidies mentioned above.

Research and development expenses were RMB2.66 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing an increase of 7.1% from RMB2.49 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2022. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to higher expenses related to the development of new vehicle models as the Company expanded its product portfolio to support future growth.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were RMB2.93 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing a decrease of 11.4% from RMB3.31 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2022. The year-over-year decrease was primarily attributable to the reduction in commission paid to the franchised stores and lower marketing and advertising expenses.

Loss from operations was RMB5.68 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared with RMB4.01 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Non-GAAP loss from operations, which excludes share-based compensation expenses, was RMB5.42 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared with RMB3.60 billion in the six months ended June 30, 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 RMB5.14 billion and RMB4.40 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Accumulated deficit amounted to RMB30.47 billion as of June 30, 2023. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately RMB6.22 billion and RMB2.29 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, 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 RMB11.41 billion and RMB15.98 billion, 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 received the net proceeds, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions, of HKD15.82 billion.

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 and the U.S. dollar-denominated other receivables held by the Group and its subsidiaries whose functional currency is Renminbi. The Group may enter into hedging transactions in an effort to reduce its exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Group did not enter into foreign exchange forward contracts. As of June 30, 2023, 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 variable 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.

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 Interim Reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP Results” set forth in this announcement.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

 

1.

General Information

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, develops and delivers smart electric vehicles. It manufactures all vehicles through its own plants in Zhaoqing, Guangzhou and Wuhan. As of June 30, 2023, its primary operations are conducted in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).

The condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 and the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive loss, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and notes, comprising significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (collectively defined as the “Interim Financial Statements”).

 

2.

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, 2023, results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 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, 2022. 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, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had potential ordinary shares, including non-vested RSUs granted.

The weighted-average numbers of non-vested RSUs excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share of the Company were 38,043,781 as of June 30, 2023 and 41,089,760 as of June 30, 2022, respectively.
