Mr. Hu continued, “Leveraging our world-leading integrated technology platform, we have been developing and diversifying our product portfolio under our long-term development roadmap to meet a wider range of market needs. In addition to our current flagship EH216 AAV series, we plan to roll out another series of eVTOL (e-Vertical-Take-Off-and-Landing) models, namely the VT series, which includes the major large-sized passenger-grade VT30 as well as smaller-sized non-passenger-grade ones. This vehicle series adopts a new hybrid configuration that integrates multi-rotor and fixed-wing configurations and enables both vertical take-off/landing capability and long-range horizontal flights. Combining the EH216 series with this new VT series, we will be able to offer a more well-rounded suite of AAV solutions to better satisfy more UAM application needs, covering both short-haul intra-city and long-range inter-city uses.”
“Looking ahead, we intend to launch a ‘100 Air Mobility Routes Initiative’ in China as part of our UAM platform operator strategy. This initiative will be underpinned by our reliable integrated technologies, comprehensive product offerings, intelligent systems, growing customer base, infrastructure designs and expanding production facilities. The initiative is expected to be implemented in next 24 months with an initial focus on the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area of China. To support this important strategic initiative and also fulfill customer orders in 2021, we are aiming to produce approximately 250 units of the EH216 in the year which will be a new record of the Company once achieved,” Mr. Hu concluded.

Business Outlook
Our business is experiencing a gradual transition into a more operation-driven model. Given our ultimate strategic goal is to build a UAM platform operator company, we view now is the right time to accelerate this process for better commercialization. Specifically, we are planning to launch a “100 Air Mobility Route Initiative” in China from 2021 and onward. We believe the time is opportune as we are getting into the final stages of airworthiness certification of our EH216 AAVs. As result, we expect the annual revenues in 2021 to range between RMB130 million and RMB180 million.
The above outlook is based on information available as of the date of this press release and reflects the Company’s current and preliminary expectations regarding its business situation and market conditions. The outlook is subject to change, especially considering uncertainties and situations related to how the COVID-19 pandemic further develops.

Safe Harbor Statement
This press release contains statements that may constitute “forward-looking” statements pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “aims,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “likely to” and similar statements. Management has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While they believe these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond management's control. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause EHang's actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating profit/(loss), adjusted net income/(loss), adjusted operating expenses, adjusted basic and diluted loss per ordinary share and adjusted basic and diluted loss per ADSs (the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. There was no income tax impact on the Company’s non-GAAP adjustments because the non-GAAP adjustments are usually recorded in entities located in tax-free jurisdictions, such as the Cayman Islands.
The Company believes that the Non-GAAP Financial Measures help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effects of items such as share-based compensation expenses that are included in their comparable GAAP measures. The Company believes that the Non-GAAP Financial Measures provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management members in their financial and operational decision-making.
Each of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to its comparable GAAP measure, operating profit margin and net margin or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the Company’s most directly comparable GAAP measures in conjunction with the Non-GAAP Financial Measures. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company’s data. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
