Insights

Hesai's Q1 shows strong growth with 46% YoY revenue increase, narrowed losses by 84%, and achieved non-GAAP profitability ahead of schedule.

Hesai's Q1 2025 results demonstrate impressive momentum in the lidar market, with revenue reaching RMB525.3 million (US$72.4 million), up 46.3% year-over-year. More striking is their operational scale – they shipped 195,818 lidar units, representing an extraordinary 231% increase from Q1 2024. This volume surge underscores growing lidar adoption, particularly in ADAS applications where shipments jumped 178.5% to 146,087 units.

The financials reveal meaningful progress toward sustainable profitability. Gross margin expanded to 41.7% from 38.8% last year, reflecting improved economies of scale and manufacturing efficiency. The company dramatically narrowed its net loss to just RMB17.5 million (US$2.4 million), an 84% reduction year-over-year. Most significantly, Hesai achieved non-GAAP profitability with net income of RMB8.6 million – especially noteworthy since Q1 is typically a seasonally slower quarter.

The guidance for Q2 suggests accelerating growth, with projected revenues between RMB680-720 million, implying 48-57% year-over-year growth. This forward momentum is backed by growing design wins – now with 23 OEMs across 120+ vehicle models – including recent additions from major Chinese automakers like Chery, Great Wall Motor, Zeekr, and Geely.

A particularly encouraging sign is Hesai's international expansion, securing a new development project with a top 5 global Tier 1 supplier from Japan, while successfully completing three of five proof-of-concept programs with European and Japanese automotive partners. The resolution of all intellectual property litigation without any financial settlement or injunction removes a significant overhang, validating Hesai's R&D investments and strengthening their competitive position in the global market.

Quarterly net revenues were RMB525.3 million (US$72.4 million)1
Quarterly lidar shipments were 195,818 units

SHANGHAI, China, May 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hesai Group (“Hesai” or the “Company”), (NASDAQ: HSAI), the global leader in three-dimensional light detection and ranging (lidar) solutions, today announced its unaudited financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Management Remarks

“Hesai was ranked as the world’s No.1 automotive lidar company by revenue market share for the fourth consecutive year in 2024, according to Yole Group—affirming our industry leadership. 2025 is off to a strong start, and we are ready to build on this momentum,” said Yifan “David” Li, Hesai’s Co-Founder and CEO. “At the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show, one thing was clear—OEMs are all-in on intelligent driving. Our three core beliefs for lidar echo this vision—safety is not optional, never second-best, and without limits. Our ADAS lidar brings these values to life and continues to secure major design wins with new deals signed recently with Chery, Great Wall Motor, Zeekr, and Geely. Internationally, we’ve made rapid progress by securing a new development project with a Top 5 global Tier 1 supplier headquartered in Japan. We also empowered the Robotaxi industry as the main lidar supplier for next-generation fleets from Baidu Apollo Go, DiDi, Pony.ai, and WeRide, while supporting the global expansion of some partners into key overseas markets. Beyond transportation, we believe every robot needs lidar as a foundational 3D sensor. Our JT series has emerged as a key enabler in this space, attracting strong interest from a wide range of Robotics customers. With accelerating adoption and expanding opportunities across the ADAS and Robotics segments, we are confident in our ability to scale our reach and unlock even greater growth in the quarters to come.”

“In the first quarter of 2025, we delivered strong financial and operational results, with net revenues growing nearly 50% year-over-year,” said Mr. Andrew Fan, Hesai’s CFO. “We shipped close to 200,000 lidar units—more than triple the volume from the same period last year. Notably, we significantly narrowed our net loss by 84% year-over-year to RMB17.5 million (US$2.4 million), while remaining Non-GAAP2 profitable for the quarter—a result that exceeded our earlier guidance and stands out given that the first quarter is typically a seasonally slower period.”

“With a solid foundation in place and accelerating demand across both ADAS and Robotics, we are well positioned to maintain growth momentum and remain on track to hit our full-year profitability target, despite a dynamic tariff environment.”

Hesai Announces Successful Resolution of All IP Related Litigation Against It, Reaffirms Its Unwavering Commitment to Innovation and R&D

Hesai today proudly announced that all existing intellectual property (IP) actions brought against it by competitors have been dismissed without any conditions, financial settlement or injunctive relief entered against it. This outcome reaffirms the strength of Hesai’s intellectual property position, the robustness of its legal strategy and Hesai’s market leadership position based on its innovations.

In April 2023, Ouster initiated legal proceedings against Hesai in both the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware and the United States International Trade Commission (ITC), alleging patent infringement and seeking damages and injunctive relief. In response, the Company immediately took firm legal action to defend its rights. In May 2023, Hesai filed for arbitration to enforce the terms of a prior Settlement Agreement. In response, the ITC terminated its investigation without imposing any conditions or settlement terms. In March of this year, the arbitration tribunal issued a confidential interim decision, finding that Ouster was subject to the Settlement Agreement. As a result, the District Court of Delaware recently dismissed Ouster’s patent infringement case without any conditions, financial settlement or injunctive relief imposed.

“This marks the end of all existing IP-related actions against us and validates our long-standing efforts to develop and protect our proprietary technologies. We are proud that the strength of our IP portfolio and research and development has withstood legal scrutiny and prevailed,” said Yifan “David” Li, Hesai’s Co-Founder and CEO.

With the largest IP portfolio and biggest R&D team among industry peers by the end of 2024, Hesai continues to lead the sector in innovation. “Our deep passion for technological advancement and our unwavering commitment to research and development are the foundation of our business, which has given us a powerful technological edge—and no amount of legal maneuvering can undo that,” added Dr. Li.

"As we move forward, Hesai remains focused on what we do best: innovating, building and delivering world-class solutions for our partners and customers across the globe," concluded Dr. Li.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Hesai's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, Hesai uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: income/loss from operation excluding share-based compensation expenses, net profit/loss excluding share-based compensation expenses, net profit/loss attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation, and per ordinary share net income/loss attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this release.

Hesai believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding share-based compensation expenses that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective. Hesai believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to Hesai's historical performance and liquidity. Hesai believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. A limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude share-based compensation expenses that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our business. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP financial measure. The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.
