| --- | --- |

The increase in cost of sales over the third quarter of 2020 and the second<br> quarter of 2021 was in line with revenue growth, which was mainly driven by the increase<br> of vehicle delivery volume in the third quarter of 2021. |
|---|---|

| --- | --- |
| · | Vehicle margin in the third quarter of 2021 was 18.0%, compared with 14.5% in the third quarter<br> of 2020 and 20.3% in the second quarter of 2021. The increase of vehicle margin compared<br> to the third quarter of 2020 was mainly driven by the higher average selling price, as well<br> as lower material cost. The decrease of vehicle margin compared to the second quarter of<br> 2021 was mainly driven by the increased financing at subsidized rates for vehicle purchases<br> which resulted in a deduction of vehicle revenue and an increase in tooling depreciation<br> cost. |

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.
10
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.
