CEO and CFO Comments

"In the first quarter of 2025, the Company delivered 42,094 smart electric vehicles, marking a solid year-over-year increase of 40.1%," said William Bin Li, founder, chairman and chief executive officer of NIO. "Since the beginning of the second quarter, we have seen a steady increase in monthly delivery volume. In April, our new products, the ET9 and firefly, have secured notable market shares in the premium executive market and high-end small electric car market respectively. We have also witnessed the rising demand for ONVO L60. In late May, the New ES6, EC6, ET5 and ET5T started deliveries with all around upgrades. Based on this, we expect total deliveries for the second quarter to reach between 72,000 and 75,000, representing a year-on-year growth of 25.5% to 30.7%."

NIO World Model will provide users with a safer and more effortless intelligent driving experience across various scenarios," added William Bin Li.

"Since the first quarter, we have implemented a range of cost control measures, including organizational restructuring, cross-brand integration, and efficiency improvements in R&D, supply chain, sales and services," added Stanley Yu Qu, NIO's chief financial officer. "Starting from the second quarter, the Company aims to achieve structural improvements in overall cost efficiency, with continued progress in operational performance."

Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2025

Revenues

   -- Total revenues in the first quarter of 2025 were RMB12,034.7 million 
      (US$1,658.4 million), representing an increase of 21.5% from the first 
      quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 38.9% from the fourth quarter of 2024. 
 
   -- Vehicle sales in the first quarter of 2025 were RMB9,939.3 million 
      (US$1,369.7 million), representing an increase of 18.6% from the first 
      quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 43.1% from the fourth quarter of 2024. 
      The increase in vehicle sales over the first quarter of 2024 was mainly 
      due to the increase in delivery volume, partially offset by the lower 
      average selling price as a result of changes in product mix. The decrease 
      in vehicle sales over the fourth quarter of 2024 was mainly attributable 
      to a decrease in delivery volume, which was affected by seasonal factors. 
 
   -- Other sales in the first quarter of 2025 were RMB2,095.4 million 
      (US$288.8 million), representing an increase of 37.2% from the first 
      quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 5.9% from the fourth quarter of 2024. 
      The increase in other sales over the first quarter of 2024 was mainly due 
      to i) the increase in sales of parts, after-sales vehicle services, and 
      provision of power solutions, as a result of continued growth in the 
      number of users, ii) the increase in revenues from sales of used cars, 
      and iii) the increase in revenues from technical research and development 
      services. The decrease in other sales over the fourth quarter of 2024 was 
      mainly due to the decrease in revenues from technical research and 
      development services and auto financing services. 

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin

   -- Cost of sales in the first quarter of 2025 was RMB11,115.2 million 
      (US$1,531.7 million), representing an increase of 18.0% from the first 
      quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 36.1% from the fourth quarter of 2024. 
      The increase in cost of sales over the first quarter of 2024 was mainly 
      attributable to the increase in delivery volume, partially offset by the 
      decreased material cost per vehicle. The decrease in cost of sales over 
      the fourth quarter of 2024 was mainly attributable to a decrease in 
      delivery volume. 
   -- Gross profit in the first quarter of 2025 was RMB919.6 million (US$126.7 
      million), representing an increase of 88.5% from the first quarter of 
      2024 and a decrease of 60.2% from the fourth quarter of 2024. 
 
   -- Gross margin in the first quarter of 2025 was 7.6%, compared with 4.9% in 
      the first quarter of 2024 and 11.7% in the fourth quarter of 2024. The 
      increase in gross margin over the first quarter of 2024 was mainly due to 
      i) the increase in sales from parts, accessories and after-sales vehicle 
      services as well as provision of technical research and development 
      services, with relatively higher margins, ii) the increased vehicle 
      margin, and iii) the reduction in the gross loss rate from provision of 
      power solutions due to the growing number of users. The decrease in gross 
      margin over the fourth quarter of 2024 was mainly attributable to the 
      lower vehicle margin. 
 
   -- Vehicle margin in the first quarter of 2025 was 10.2%, compared with 9.2% 
      in the first quarter of 2024 and 13.1% in the fourth quarter of 2024. The 
      increase in vehicle margin from the first quarter of 2024 was mainly 
      attributable to decreased material cost per unit, partially offset by the 
      impact of changes in product mix. The decrease in vehicle margin from the 
      fourth quarter of 2024 was mainly due to the increased manufacture cost 
      per unit as a result of decreased production volume. 

Operating Expenses

   -- Research and development expenses in the first quarter of 2025 were 
      RMB3,181.4 million (US$438.4 million), representing an increase of 11.1% 
      from the first quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 12.5% from the fourth 
      quarter of 2024. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, research 
      and development expenses (non-GAAP) were RMB2,914.4 million (US$401.6 
      million), representing an increase of 9.6% from the first quarter of 2024 
      and a decrease of 11.5% from the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in 
      research and development expenses over the first quarter of 2024 was 
      mainly due to the incremental design and development costs for new 
      products and technologies as well as the increased personnel costs in 
      research and development functions. The decrease in research and 
      development expenses over the fourth quarter of 2024 was mainly due to 
      the decreased design and development costs resulting from different 
      stages of development for new products and technologies, partially offset 
      by the increased personnel costs in research and development functions. 
 
   -- Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2025 
      were RMB4,400.8 million (US$606.4 million), representing an increase of 
      46.8% from the first quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 9.8% from the 
      fourth quarter of 2024. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, 
      selling, general and administrative expenses (non-GAAP) were RMB4,211.9 
      million (US$580.4 million), representing an increase of 43.7% from the 
      first quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 11.4% from the fourth quarter of 
      2024. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses over 
      the first quarter of 2024 was mainly attributable to (i) the increase in 
      personnel costs related to sales functions, and (ii) the increase in 
      sales and marketing activities. The decrease in selling, general and 
      administrative expenses over the fourth quarter of 2024 was mainly due to 
      the decreased sales and marketing activities and professional services, 
      partially offset by the incremental personnel costs related to sales and 
      general corporate functions. 

Loss from Operations

   -- Loss from operations in the first quarter of 2025 was RMB6,418.1 million 
      (US$884.4 million), representing an increase of 19.0% from the first

      Excluding share-based compensation expenses, adjusted loss from 
      operations (non-GAAP) was RMB5,947.2 million (US$819.5 million) in the 
      first quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 16.3% from the first 
      quarter of 2024 and an increase of 7.3% from the fourth quarter of 2024. 

Net Loss and Earnings Per Share/ADS

   -- Net loss in the first quarter of 2025 was RMB6,750.0 million (US$930.2 
      million), representing an increase of 30.2% from the first quarter of 
      2024 and a decrease of 5.1% from the fourth quarter of 2024. Excluding 
      share-based compensation expenses, adjusted net loss (non-GAAP) was 
      RMB6,279.1 million (US$865.3 million) in the first quarter of 2025, 
      representing an increase of 28.1% from the first quarter of 2024 and a 
      decrease of 5.2% from the fourth quarter of 2024. 
 
   -- Net loss attributable to NIO's ordinary shareholders in the first quarter 
      of 2025 was RMB6,891.1 million (US$949.6 million), representing an 
      increase of 31.1% from the first quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 3.4% 
      from the fourth quarter of 2024. Excluding share-based compensation 
      expenses and accretion on redeemable non-controlling interests to 
      redemption value, adjusted net loss attributable to NIO's ordinary 
      shareholders (non-GAAP) was RMB6,275.6 million (US$864.8 million) in the 
      first quarter of 2025. 
 
   -- Basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share/ADS in the first quarter of 
      2025 were both RMB3.29 (US$0.45), compared with RMB2.57 in the first 
      quarter of 2024 and RMB3.45 in the fourth quarter of 2024. Excluding 
      share-based compensation expenses and accretion on redeemable 
      non-controlling interests to redemption value, adjusted basic and diluted 
      net loss per share/ADS (non-GAAP) were both RMB3.01 (US$0.41), compared 
      with RMB2.39 in the first quarter of 2024 and RMB3.17 in the fourth 
      quarter of 2024. 

Balance Sheet

   -- Balance of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term 
      investments and long-term time deposits was RMB26.0 billion (US$3.6 
      billion) as of March 31, 2025. We have been incurring loss since 
      inception. We incurred operating cash outflow for the first quarter ended 
      March 31, 2025 and our current liabilities exceeded current assets and we 
      had negative shareholders' equity as of March 31, 2025. Based on our 
      going concern and liquidity assessment, which considers our business plan 
      including revenue growth, optimization of operation efficiency to improve 
      operating cash flows, working capital management and the ability to raise 
      funds from banks under available credit quotas and other sources when 
      needed, we believe that our financial resources, including our available 
      cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments, 
      cash generated from operating activities and funds from available credit 
      quotas and other sources will be sufficient to support our continuous 
      operations in the ordinary course of business for the next twelve months. 

Business Outlook

For the second quarter of 2025, the Company expects:

   -- Deliveries of vehicles to be between 72,000 and 75,000 vehicles, 
      representing an increase of approximately 25.5% to an increase of 
      approximately 30.7% from the same quarter of 2024. 
 
   -- Total revenues to be between RMB19,513 million (US$2,689 million) and 
      RMB20,068 million (US$2,765 million), representing an increase of 
      approximately 11.8% to an increase of approximately 15.0% from the same 
      quarter of 2024. 

This business outlook reflects the Company's current and preliminary view on the business situation and market condition, which is subject to change.

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.
