CEO and CFO Comments
“In
the first quarter of 2026, the Company delivered 83,465 smart electric vehicles, representing a year-over-year increase of 98.3%. Starting
from the second quarter, the Company has entered an intensive new product launch and delivery cycle. We expect total deliveries in the
second quarter to range between 110,000 and 115,000 vehicles, with a year-over-year growth of 52.7% to 59.6%,” said William Bin
Li, founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of NIO.
“After
eleven years of sustained investment and dedication, the Company has built comprehensive systematic innovation capabilities, serving
as the core foundation for us to continuously launch innovative products and strengthen our long-term competitiveness. The NIO All-New
ES8 has ranked first in sales in both China’s large SUV segment and the segment priced above RMB 400,000 for five consecutive months.
The NIO ES9, our flagship executive SUV, integrates multiple industry-first technologies and class-leading features, and is poised to
lead the premium flagship executive SUV segment into the battery electric era. This year, powered by NIO’s in-house developed smart
driving chip, NIO WorldModel and the full-domain vehicle operating system, ONVO’s new models will undergo comprehensive upgrades
in smart technologies, continuously enhancing user experience. The recently launched ONVO L80, ONVO’s flagship large five-seat
SUV, caters to broader user needs through innovative space and lifestyle design. FIREFLY will continue to launch special edition models
to deepen emotional connections with users,” added William Bin Li.
"In the first quarter of 2026, our vehicle
margin stood at 18.8%, improving quarter-over-quarter for four consecutive quarters. Other sales margin reached 20.6%, a four-year high,
supported by the expanding scale and improving profitability of our services and community-related businesses as our user base continues
to grow. We also maintained positive non-GAAP operating profit in the quarter, and cash reserves continued to increase,” said Stanley
Yu Qu, NIO’s chief financial officer. “We are encouraged by the continued improvement across all key operating metrics. Looking
ahead, we will further enhance cost and operational efficiency while strengthening our sustainable business capabilities.”

business plan including revenue growth from the sales of existing and new vehicle models,
continuous optimization of operation efficiency to improve operating cash flows, working
capital management, the ability to raise funds from banks under available credit quotas and
other sources when needed, and evaluates uncertainties as to the successful execution of
our business plan, we believe that our financial resources, including our available cash

activities and funds from available credit quotas and other sources will be sufficient to
support our continuous operations in the ordinary course of business for the next twelve
months. |

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 profit/(loss) from operations (non-GAAP), adjusted net profit/(loss) (non-GAAP), adjusted net profit/(loss) attributable
to ordinary shareholders (non-GAAP) and adjusted basic and diluted net profit/(loss) per share/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) and adjusted profit/(loss) from
operations (non-GAAP) and adjusted net profit/(loss) (non-GAAP) as cost of sales, research and development expenses, selling, general
and administrative expenses, profit/(loss) from operations and net profit/(loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses and organizational
optimization charges. The Company defines adjusted net profit/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders (non-GAAP) and adjusted basic
and diluted profit/(loss) per share/ADS (non-GAAP) as profit/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders and basic and diluted profit/(loss)
per share/ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses, organizational optimization charges and accretion on redeemable non-controlling
interests to redemption value. By excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, organizational optimization charges and
accretion on redeemable non-controlling interests to redemption value, which are either non-cash or not indicative of the Company’s
ordinary or ongoing operations due to their size or nature, 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 profit/(loss) or other consolidated statements of comprehensive profit/(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.
