Insights

ZEEKR's Q3 2024 results show mixed performance with notable growth in deliveries but continued operational losses. Vehicle deliveries reached 55,003 units, up 51% YoY, while revenue grew 30.7% to RMB18.36 billion. The vehicle margin decreased to 15.7% from 18.1% YoY, reflecting pricing pressures and product mix changes. Despite reducing operational losses by 19.3% YoY to RMB1.22 billion, the company still faces profitability challenges. The successful launch of new models like ZEEKR MIX and strong October deliveries of 25,049 units indicate positive momentum, but investors should monitor the balance between growth and margin preservation in this competitive EV market.

The competitive dynamics in China's premium EV segment are evident in ZEEKR's results. While delivery growth remains strong, declining vehicle margins highlight intense market competition. The company's strategic focus on product diversification with launches like ZEEKR MIX and 7X demonstrates adaptation to market demands. The 92% YoY growth in October deliveries suggests effective market penetration, but the 38.8% QoQ decline in battery component sales indicates supply chain volatility. The company's expansion into global markets and R&D investments position it for long-term growth, though near-term profitability remains challenging.

"In the third quarter, we set a new record with 55,003 vehicle deliveries, representing a 51% year-over-year increase, and reached an additional milestone in October with monthly deliveries of 25,049 units. Notably, the ZEEKR 7X's deliveries exceeded 20,000 units within 50 days since its launch, marking a robust achievement in the highly competitive mainstream SUV market. As we expand our product lineup and strengthen each model's position in its respective category, we are delivering ZEEKR's ultimate driving experience to more users, further cementing ZEEKR's industry leadership."

Mr. Jing Yuan, ZEEKR's chief financial officer, added, "Our disciplined cost control measures, coupled with ongoing optimization of product structure, economies of scale, and technological innovation, drove a 30.7% year-over-year increase in revenue. Vehicle sales for the quarter grew by 42.0% and 7.2% year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter, respectively. Meanwhile, vehicle margin remained on an upward trajectory, rising to 15.7% in the third quarter of 2024, highlighting our consistent progress in profitability enhancement.

Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2024

Revenues

  • Total revenues were RMB18,358.0 million (US$2,616.0 million) for the third quarter of 2024, representing an increase of 30.7% from RMB14,044.6 million for the third quarter of 2023 and a decrease of 8.4% from RMB20,040.1 million for the second quarter of 2024.

  • Revenues from vehicle sales were RMB14,401.3 million (US$2,052.2 million) for the third quarter of 2024, representing an increase of 42.0% from RMB10,143.7 million for the third quarter of 2023, and an increase of 7.2% from RMB13,438.2 million for the second quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was due to the increase in new product delivery volume, partially offset by the lower average selling price due to the different product mix and pricing strategy changes between the two quarters. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly attributable to the launch of the ZEEKR 7X new model in the third quarter of 2024 and the higher average selling price resulting from changes in product mix.

  • Revenues from sales of batteries and other components were RMB3,245.3 million (US$462.5 million) for the third quarter of 2024, representing a decrease of 1.3% from RMB3,288.8 million for the third quarter of 2023 and a decrease of 38.8% from RMB5,299.2 million for the second quarter of 2024. The revenues from sales of batteries and other components remained relatively stable compared with the third quarter of 2023. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly driven by lower sales volume of battery packs in the domestic market.

  • Revenues from research and development service and other services were RMB711.4 million (US$101.4 million) for the third quarter of 2024, representing an increase of 16.2% from RMB612.1 million for the third quarter of 2023 and a decrease of 45.4% from RMB1,302.6 million for the second quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to the increased sales of after-sales vehicle services. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly due to the decreased sales of research and development services to related parties.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin

  • Cost of revenues was RMB15,416.2 million (US$2,196.8 million) for the third quarter of 2024, representing an increase of 31.1% from RMB11,755.2 million for the third quarter of 2023 and a decrease of 7.1% from RMB16,590.2 million for the second quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was mainly attributable to the increase in vehicle delivery volume and the quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in sales of batteries and other components.

  • Gross profit was RMB2,941.8 million (US$419.2 million) for the third quarter of 2024, representing an increase of 28.5% from RMB2,289.4 million for the third quarter of 2023 and a decrease of 14.7% from RMB3,449.8 million for the second quarter of 2024.

  • Gross margin was 16.0% for the third quarter of 2024, compared with 16.3% for the third quarter of 2023 and 17.2% for the second quarter of 2024. The gross margin remained relatively stable compared with the third quarter of 2023. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly attributable to the decreased margins on batteries and other components.

  • Vehicle margin was 15.7% for the third quarter of 2024, compared with 18.1% for the third quarter of 2023 and 14.2% for the second quarter of 2024. The year-over-year decrease was primarily attributed to the lower average selling price of ZEEKR vehicles due to the different product mix and pricing strategy changes between the two quarters, partially offset by the procurement savings as the cost of auto parts and materials decreased. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly due to the change in product mix.

Operating Expenses

  • Research and development expenses were RMB1,966.2 million (US$280.2 million) for the third quarter of 2024, representing a decrease of 2.6% from RMB2,018.1 million for the third quarter of 2023 and a decrease of 25.1% from RMB2,623.5 million for the second quarter of 2024. Research and development expenses remained relatively stable compared with the third quarter of 2023. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly due to a one-off, large quantity of share-based compensation expenses in the second quarter, conditioned on the Company's initial public offering.

  • Selling, general and administrative expenses were RMB2,274.8 million (US$324.1 million) for the third quarter of 2024, representing an increase of 25.4% from RMB1,813.9 million for the third quarter of 2023 and a decrease of 12.7% from RMB2,604.7 million for the second quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to increased expenses related to the expansion of offline channels in China and overseas as well as the marketing activities of the launch of new models. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly due to a one-off, large quantity of share-based compensation expenses in the second quarter, conditioned on the Company's initial public offering.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share attributed to ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per ADS attributed to ordinary shareholders, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. By excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, 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 Reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP Results" set forth in this announcement.
