Supplemental Information on the Completed Independent Internal Review
Reference is made to the announcements issued by the Company on June 29, 2022, July 11, 2022 and August 26, 2022 (the “Announcements”) in relation to the publication of a report issued by the short-seller firm Grizzly Research LLC on June 28, 2022 (the “Short Seller Report”).

As previously disclosed in the Announcements, shortly after the publication of the Short Seller Report, an independent committee of the board of directors (the “Independent Committee”), consisting of independent directors of the Company, was formed to oversee an independent internal review regarding the key allegations made in the Short Seller Report (the “Internal Review”). The Internal Review was conducted by the Independent Committee with the assistance of third-party professional advisors, including an international law firm and forensic accounting experts from a well-regarded forensic accounting firm that is not the Company’s auditor.

Based on the results of the Internal Review, the Independent Committee has concluded that the key allegations of the Short Seller Report are not substantiated. In particular, the Internal Review found that the allegations set forth in the Short Seller Report concern matters that had been accurately and adequately disclosed in the Company’s historical annual and periodic reports (e.g., under Item 4. “Information on the Company” and Item 7. “Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions” of the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on April 29, 2022), press releases and prospectus filed with The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (e.g., under “Business,” “Financial Information,” and “Relationship with the Controlling Shareholders” sections). Such matters included, for example, the Company’s BaaS model, NIO Users Trust, and investments in NIO China. The Short Seller Report either disregards or misconstrues the information that the Company disclosed in these and other public filings. No evidence was uncovered in the Internal Review suggesting improprieties in the Company’s transactions with the various entities mentioned in the Short Seller Report or any inaccuracies or inadequacies in the Company’s public disclosures regarding the same.

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. The Company defines 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) and adjusted net loss (non-GAAP) as cost of sales, research and development expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses, loss from operations and net loss excluding share-based compensation expenses. The Company defines 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) as net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, basic and diluted net loss per share and basic and diluted net loss per ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses and accretion on redeemable non-controlling interests to redemption value. 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.
