Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2022

Revenues

  • Total revenues were RMB9.56 billion (US$1.51 billion) in the first quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 167.5% from RMB3.58 billion in the first quarter of 2021 and a decrease of 10.0% from RMB10.62 billion in the fourth quarter of 2021.

  • Vehicle sales were RMB9.31 billion (US$1.47 billion) in the first quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 168.7% from RMB3.46 billion in the first quarter of 2021 and a decrease of 10.3% from RMB10.38 billion in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in revenue from vehicle sales over the first quarter of 2021 was mainly attributable to the increase in vehicle deliveries in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in revenue from vehicle sales over the fourth quarter of 2021 was mainly attributable to the decrease in vehicle deliveries which were affected by seasonal factors related to the Chinese New Year holiday in the first quarter of 2022.

  • Other sales and services were RMB253.4 million (US$40.0 million) in the first quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 127.2% from RMB111.5 million in the first quarter of 2021 and an increase of 3.6% from RMB244.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in revenue from other sales and services over the first quarter of 2021 was mainly attributable to increased sales of charging stalls, accessories and services in line with higher accumulated vehicle sales.

The increase in cost of sales over the first quarter of 2021 was in line with revenue growth, mainly driven by the increase in vehicle deliveries in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in cost of sales over the fourth quarter of 2021 was mainly due to the decrease in vehicle deliveries in the first quarter of 2022.

  • Gross profit was RMB2.16 billion (US$341.3 million) in the first quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 250.9% from RMB616.7 million in the first quarter of 2021 and a decrease of 9.1% from RMB2.38 billion in the fourth quarter of 2021.

  • Vehicle margin was 22.4% in the first quarter of 2022, compared with 16.9% in the first quarter of 2021 and 22.3% in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in vehicle margin over the first quarter of 2021 was primarily driven by higher average selling price attributable to the increase of vehicle deliveries of 2021 Li ONE since its release in May 2021.

  • Gross margin was 22.6% in the first quarter of 2022, compared with 17.3% in the first quarter of 2021 and 22.4% in the fourth quarter of 2021.

The increase in research and development expenses over the first quarter of 2021 was primarily driven by increased employee compensation as a result of our growing number of research and development staff as well as increased costs associated with new product development. The increase in research and development expenses over the fourth quarter of 2021 was mainly driven by increased employee compensation as a result of our growing number of research and development staff.

  • Selling, general and administrative expenses were RMB1.20 billion (US$189.8 million) in the first quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 135.9% from RMB509.9 million in the first quarter of 2021 and an increase of 6.8% from RMB1.13 billion in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

The Company uses non-GAAP measures, such as non-GAAP cost of sales, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP income/loss from operations, non-GAAP net income/loss, non-GAAP net loss/income attributable to ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP basic and diluted net earnings/loss per ADS attributable to ordinary shareholders and free cash flow, 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 Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this press release.
