“In April, we celebrated the 100,000th production vehicle rolling off the line together with our users and partners. Meanwhile, we started to deploy our Power Swap stations 2.0, which could significantly boost the service capacity of each station to maximum 312 times per day by shortening the battery swapping time to under three minutes. In addition, to improve the swapping and charging experience of underserved users in North China, we announced the Power North plan at the Shanghai Auto Show. We have always been committed to providing a superior holistic EV experience to our users with better products and services.
“At the same time, we have also accelerated the research and development of new products and technologies. To ensure sufficient production capacity for our upcoming products, together with our partners, we have kicked off the planning and building of a new plant in Xinqiao Industrial Park in Hefei,” concluded Mr. Li.
“We have achieved another great quarter with strong financial performance in the first quarter of 2021. Mainly driven by higher deliveries and solid average selling price, our vehicle margin reached
Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2021
Revenues
- Total revenues in the first quarter of 2021 were RMB7,982.3 million (US
$1,218.3 million ), representing an increase of481.8% from the first quarter of 2020 and an increase of20.2% from the fourth quarter of 2020. - Vehicle sales in the first quarter of 2021 were RMB7,405.8 million (US
$1,130.3 million ), representing an increase of489.8% from the first quarter of 2020 and an increase of20.0% from the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase in vehicle sales over the first quarter of 2020 was mainly attributed to higher deliveries achieved from more product mix offered to our users, the expansion of our sales network since 2020, and the slow-down of vehicle sales in the first quarter of 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic in China. The increase in vehicle sales over the fourth quarter of 2020 was mainly due to higher deliveries and higher average selling price. - Other sales in the first quarter of 2021 were RMB576.5 million (US
$88.0 million ), representing an increase of395.3% from the first quarter of 2020 and an increase of23.4% from the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase in other sales over the first quarter of 2020 was in line with the incremental vehicle sales in the first quarter of 2021. The increase in other sales over the fourth quarter of 2020 was mainly due to the increased revenues derived from 100kWh battery permanent upgrade service provided since December 2020, partially offset by sales of automotive regulatory credits in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
- Cost of sales in the first quarter of 2021 was RMB6,427.5 million (US
$981.0 million ), representing an increase of317.5% from the first quarter of 2020 and an increase of16.9% from the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase in cost of sales over the first quarter of 2020 and the fourth quarter of 2020 was in line with revenue growth, which was mainly driven by the increase of vehicle delivery volume in the first quarter of 2021. - Gross Profit in the first quarter of 2021 was RMB1,554.8 million (US
$237.3 million ), representing an increase of RMB1,722.3 million from a gross loss of RMB167.5 million in the first quarter of 2020 and an increase of36.2% from the fourth quarter of 2020. - Gross margin in the first quarter of 2021 was
19.5% , compared with negative12.2% in the first quarter of 2020 and17.2% in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase of gross margin compared to the first quarter of 2020 and the fourth quarter of 2020 was mainly driven by the increase of vehicle margin in the first quarter of 2021. - Vehicle margin in the first quarter of 2021 was
21.2% , compared with negative7.4% in the first quarter of 2020 and17.2% in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase of vehicle margin compared to the first quarter of 2020 was mainly driven by the increase of vehicle delivery volume, higher average selling price, as well as lower material cost. The increase of vehicle margin compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 was mainly attributed to higher take-rate of NIO Pilot and 100 kWh battery package.
Operating Expenses
- Research and development expenses in the first quarter of 2021 were RMB686.5 million (US
$104.8 million ), representing an increase of31.4% from the first quarter of 2020 and a decrease of17.2% from the fourth quarter of 2020. Excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP), research and development expenses were RMB650.0 million (US$99.2 million ), representing an increase of26.4% from the first quarter of 2020 and a decrease of19.9% from the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase of research and development expenses over the first quarter of 2020 was mainly attributed to less research and development activities in the first quarter of 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic in China. The decrease in research and development expenses over the fourth quarter of 2020 reflected fluctuations due to different design and development stages of new products and core technologies. - Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2021 were RMB1,197.2 million (US
$182.7 million ), representing an increase of41.1% from the first quarter of 2020 and a decrease of0.8% from the fourth quarter of 2020. Excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP), selling, general and administrative expenses were RMB1,140.9 million (US$174.1 million ), representing an increase of38.3% from the first quarter of 2020 and a decrease of2.2% from the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses over the first quarter of 2020 was primarily due to the increased marketing activities as well as the increased number of employees in sales and service functions in the first quarter of 2021. Selling, general and administrative expenses remained relatively stable compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.
Loss from Operations
- Loss from operations in the first quarter of 2021 was RMB295.9 million (US
$45.2 million ), representing a decrease of81.2% from the first quarter of 2020 and a decrease of68.2% from the fourth quarter of 2020.

The increase in share-based compensation expenses over the first quarter of 2020 and the fourth quarter of 2021 was primarily attributed to incremental options granted with relatively higher grant date fair values during the period.
Net Loss and Earnings Per Share
- Net loss was RMB451.0 million (US
$68.8 million ) in the first quarter of 2021, representing a decrease of73.3% from the first quarter of 2020 and a decrease of67.5% from the fourth quarter of 2020.

Non-GAAP Disclosure
The Company uses non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted cost of sales (non-GAAP), adjusted research and development expenses (non-GAAP), adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses (non-GAAP), adjusted loss from operations (non-GAAP), adjusted net loss (non-GAAP), adjusted net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders (non-GAAP), adjusted basic and diluted net loss per share (non-GAAP) and adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ADS (non-GAAP), in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. By excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses and accretion on redeemable non-controlling interests to redemption value, 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.
