Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2020
Revenues
- Total revenues were RMB3,718.9 million (US$526.4 million) in the second quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 146.5% from the second quarter of 2019 and an increase of 171.1% from the first quarter of 2020.
- Vehicle sales were RMB3,486.1 million (US$493.4 million) in the second quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 146.5% from the second quarter of 2019 and an increase of 177.6% from the first quarter of 2020. The increase in vehicle sales of the second quarter of 2020, compared to the second quarter of 2019, was mainly contributed by the sales of the ES6 which began deliveries in late June 2019. The increase in vehicle sales of the second quarter of 2020, compared to the first quarter of 2020, was due to the increase of vehicle deliveries recovered from the COVID-19 outbreak in China.
- Other sales in the second quarter of 2020 were RMB232.8 million (US$33.0 million), representing an increase of 147.7% from the second quarter of 2019 and an increase of 100.0% from the first quarter of 2020. The increase in other sales of the second quarter of 2020, compared to the second quarter of 2019, was mainly attributed to increased revenues derived from the home chargers installed, service package and energy package subscribed, and accessories sold, which were in line with the increased vehicle sales in the second quarter of 2020.
Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
- Cost of sales in the second quarter of 2020 was RMB3,405.8 million (US$482.1 million), representing an increase of 69.2% from the second quarter of 2019 and an increase of 121.2% from the first quarter of 2020. The increase in cost of sales compared to the second quarter of 2019 was mainly driven by the increase of delivery volume of the ES6 and the ES8 in the second quarter of 2020.
- Gross profit in the second quarter of 2020 was RMB313.1 million (US$44.3 million), representing an increase of RMB817.3 million from a gross loss of RMB504.2 million in the second quarter of 2019 and an increase of RMB480.6 million from a gross loss of RMB167.5 million in the first quarter of 2020. The increase of gross profit compared to the second quarter of 2019 was mainly contributed by increased vehicle sales, and incurrence of the one-off cost in relation to the Company’s voluntary battery recall in the second quarter of 2019.
- Gross margin in the second quarter of 2020 was 8.4%, compared with negative 33.4% in the second quarter of 2019 and negative 12.2% in the first quarter of 2020. The increase of gross margin compared to the second quarter of 2019 was mainly driven by the increase of vehicle margin in the second quarter of 2020.
- Vehicle margin in the second quarter of 2020 was 9.7%, compared with negative 24.1% in the second quarter of 2019 and negative 7.4% in the first quarter of 2020. The increase of vehicle margin compared to the second quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020 was mainly driven by the decrease in purchase price of certain materials and lower unit manufacturing cost attributed from increased production volume of the ES6 and the ES8 in the second quarter of 2020. Besides above, the increase of vehicle margin in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019 was also attributable to the impact of the one-off cost in relation to the Company’s voluntary battery recall in the second quarter of 2019.
Operating Expenses
- Research and development expenses in the second quarter of 2020 were RMB545.2 million (US$77.2 million), representing a decrease of 58.1% from the second quarter of 2019 and an increase of 4.4% from the first quarter of 2020. Excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP), research and development expenses were RMB533.5 million (US$75.5 million), representing a decrease of 58.4% from the second quarter of 2019 and an increase of 3.7% from the first quarter of 2020. The decrease in research and development expenses over the second quarter of 2019 was primarily attributable to the incurrence of expenses relating to rigorous testing activities of ES6 in the second quarter of 2019 before its mass production. Research and development expenses remained relatively stable compared with the first quarter of 2020, which mainly consisted of costs incurred for recurring projects, while mass investment stage has not yet reached for new projects.
- Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2020 were RMB936.8 million (US$132.6 million), representing a decrease of 34.1% from the second quarter of 2019 and an increase of 10.4% from the first quarter of 2020. Excluding share-based compensation expenses (non-GAAP), selling, general and administrative expenses were RMB904.5 million (US$128.0 million), representing a decrease of 33.1% from the second quarter of 2019 and an increase of 9.7% from the first quarter of 2020. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses over the second quarter of 2019 was primarily driven by the Company’s overall cost-saving efforts and the improved operating efficiency in marketing and other supporting functions. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses over the first quarter of 2020 was primarily attributed to increased marketing and promotional activities and costs recovered from the COVID-19 outbreak in the first quarter of 2020.
Loss from Operations
- Loss from operations was RMB1,160.0 million (US$164.2 million) in the second quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of 64.0% from the second quarter of 2019 and a decrease of 26.1% from the first quarter of 2020. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, adjusted loss from operations (non-GAAP) was RMB1,114.7 million (US$157.8 million) in the second quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of 64.4% from the second quarter of 2019 and a decrease of 27.5% from the first quarter of 2020.
Share-based Compensation Expenses
- Share-based compensation expenses in the second quarter of 2020 were RMB45.3 million (US$6.4 million), representing a decrease of 50.9% from the second quarter of 2019 and an increase of 39.8% from the first quarter of 2020. The decrease in share-based compensation expenses over the second quarter of 2019 was primarily due to less options granted driven by the decline in the number of employees, and the impact of part of the share-based compensation expenses being recognized by using the accelerated method, under which the expenses decrease gradually over the vesting period. The increase in share-based compensation expenses over the first quarter of 2020 was primarily attributed to the incremental options granted in the second quarter of 2020.
Net Loss and Earnings Per Share
- Net loss was RMB1,176.7 million (US$166.5 million) in the second quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of 64.2% from the second quarter of 2019 and a decrease of 30.4% from the first quarter of 2020.

Balance Sheets
- Balance of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investment was RMB11.2 billion (US$1.6 billion) as of June 30, 2020. The Company operates with continuous loss and negative equity. The Company’s continuous operation depends on the successful implementation of the management’s plans which considers the improvements in its operating cash flows and the consummation of the investments in NIO China from strategic investors. Based on its evaluation which considers the progress of the investments in NIO China, the Company believes that its existing working capital, the funds from the investments in NIO China and available loan facilities will be sufficient to support the Company’s continuous operations and developments in the next twelve months.

- Deliveries of the vehicles to be between 11,000 and 11,500 vehicles, representing an increase of approximately 129.2% to 139.6% from the same quarter of 2019, and an increase of approximately 6.5% to 11.3% from the second 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.

Cayman Enterprise City Publishes Socio-Economic Impact Assessment by Economist and Leading Advisor on the Caribbean, Marla Dukharan
The Impact of Cayman Enterprise City’s Socio-Economic Development Project Nears USD $1 Billion
GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, May 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Cayman Enterprise City (CEC) has released a Socio-Economic Impact Assessment by Marla Dukharan. The report illustrates that CEC is increasing its impact by supporting higher earnings for Caymanians and is driving a shift towards a knowledge-based economy by focusing on high productivity sectors. The release by Dukharan reads, “Caymanian resourcefulness and private sector-led innovation have been the driving force behind the islands’ outstanding socio-economic success. Cayman Enterprise City underpins the next generation of Cayman innovation and dynamism.”
With an economic impact of USD $130 million in 2023, contributing just under USD $1 billion to the local economic activity in 12 years since inception, “CEC is helping the nation to diversify economically, in terms of sectors and jobs, ensuring locals have economic and employment opportunities that match the nation’s progress,” the report reads.
The CEC socio-economic development project is now home to 352 Special Economic Zones Companies (SEZCos), many of which are globally recognised institutions led by top executives and industry experts. “CEC member companies are providing high-value employment with salaries exceeding those typically found outside of the special economic zone,” said Charlie Kirkconnell, Chief Executive Officer at CEC. “The CEC community is fully invested in Cayman and the report illustrates that the CEC socio-economic development project is making a very significant impact on Cayman’s economy and community.”
“As CEC continues to grow, it continues to create significant employment and entrepreneurial opportunities for Caymanians and we encourage anyone that might be interested in finding out how they might get involved, whether as a member of the community and/or as a volunteer in our Enterprise Cayman non-profit organisation (NPO).”
77% of Caymanian-held jobs at CEC member companies, are in sectors with high social returns and increasing global demand. “By putting skills first and prioritizing learning, CEC is enabling new industries to take root,” the release by Dukharan reads.
CEC, through its Enterprise Cayman NPO, is a first-mover in private sector-facilitated education and training in the Caribbean, making it a leading force to boost youth participation in the economy. By offering training in specialised skills, Enterprise Cayman is helping to close the gap in higher education and earnings for Caymanians. “Through Enterprise Cayman we’ve set out to strategically support meaningful employment and entrepreneurial opportunities for Caymanians, by providing internship and mentorship opportunities, by hosting skill-building and career focused training, and by providing invaluable networking and community engagement opportunities,” said Kirkconnell.
In 2023 individuals took advantage of 4,226 opportunities to participate in education, training, and career development events and, since launching entrepreneurial programming in 2021, Enterprise Cayman has worked with 41 new Cayman-born business ventures. “We’re helping to develop a local talent pool that meets the demand of Cayman’s growing digital innovation and technology sectors while, in parallel, offering exciting opportunities for individuals to launch new business ventures within an innovative business environment,” said Kirkconnell.
With CEC’s new campus and state-of-the-art facilities, Signal House, the project “holds the promise of deep, continued economic impact,” the report concludes.

Strava Unveils New Chapter of Accelerated Product Development at Brand’s Flagship Event
The Company introduces increased product velocity, leveraging advancements in Artificial Intelligence, in service of its vision of a world connected through movement
LOS ANGELES, May 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Strava, the leading digital community for active people with more than 125 million athletes, today showcased its latest initiatives and product developments at its annual event, Camp Strava. With the theme of Progress, Together company leaders announced how the platform will empower its global community to make progress in the way they explore, move, and connect on Strava.
“Strava is gaining momentum to realize our vision of a world connected through movement,” said Michael Martin, chief executive officer of Strava. “We are focused on two fundamental shifts to accelerate how we deliver value to 125 million people globally– building for women and leveraging Artificial Intelligence – which will unlock new community-and-partner-powered experiences across the platform.”
A New Era of Product VelocityStrava, with new leaders at the helm, is ushering in its next era of product velocity. The company listened closely to feedback from its global community and announced three of the most requested features coming to the platform by the end of the year.
The first of these updates, AI-enabled Leaderboard Integrity, will harness machine learning to automatically flag irregular, improbable, or impossible activities recorded to the platform. Trained by millions of activities, this feature allows all users on Strava to play fair and have more fun.
Additionally, the company announced a new Family Plan Subscription, the sister of the company’s Student Plan. With Family Plan, it’s easier to make a fitness commitment with your community by sharing an annual subscription with up to three other people – friends, family, or fitness family. Launching in select countries this summer, with plans to roll out globally by the end of the year, Strava’s newest annual subscription option offers the best value for groups (up to four), with a discount off the regular subscription price for each member.
Strava also implemented an updated design system, an initiative that is integral in driving a heightened pace of product innovation at the company. Through this work, Strava announced the launch of one of the company’s most requested features, Dark mode. Dark mode will improve the in-app experience for all users, reducing eye strain and improving accessibility while they record activity or scroll through the feed. Athletes can expect a rollout later this summer with options to keep their mobile settings always dark, always light, or match their device settings.
Company leaders highlighted several other features and updates to current products like Flyover, with its next iteration offering an overlay with activity stats and off-platform sharing capabilities. The overlay is available today for Strava subscribers and an off-platform sharing option will be released later this year.
Build for Her, Build for ManyStudies show that women of all ages participate in sports at a far lower rate than men, and overall, despite wanting to be active, find less time to dedicate to an active lifestyle. As the company continues on its mission to motivate people to live their best active lives, building for women on the platform will ultimately serve everyone in the Strava community. Several new features and initiatives were announced as a part of this strategic focus, which includes:
Night Heatmaps: Night Heatmaps show only activities between sundown and sunrise – so athletes can get an idea of which roads, trails, and paths are well-trafficked after hours. Since Night Heatmaps filter for after-hours routes, it can be a helpful tool for female athletes training before sunrise and after sunset.Quick Edit: For active women, having control over what is shared with the Strava community that cheers them on – like what time a run is logged – is important.

Japan Data Center Market Investment to Reach $14.48 Billion by 2028 – Watch Out Exclusive Insight on Japan & Hong Kong Data Center Market – Arizton
CHICAGO, May 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Arizton publishes the latest research report on the Japan data center market and Hong Kong data center market.
The Japan Data Center Market to Witness Investments of $14.48 Billion by 2029.
Get Insights on 107 Existing Data Centers and 41 Upcoming Facilities across Japan.
The data center market in Japan is experiencing the emergence of self-built hyperscale data center facilities by major operators such as Google, Microsoft, and Amazon Web Services (AWS). This development is expected to impact the colocation market in Japan. Since these hyperscale operators store workloads in their own data center facilities, it may reduce the source of revenue generation for colocation operators.
Japan is a well-established data center market in the APAC region. The country supports investments with its macroeconomic policies and other incentives for investors. The market is witnessing several investments from local and global data center operators, further expanding its presence. Tokyo and Osaka are Japan’s major destinations for data center development, accounting for over 90% of the existing data center facilities. The government announced the offer of subsidies in Hokkaido and Kyushu for data center development and decentralize data centers from Tokyo and Osaka.
Investment Opportunities
In October 2023, SoftBank and its subsidiary, IDC Frontier, announced the plan to develop a new data center facility in Tomakomai City, Hokkaido. The company invested around $420 million toward the project, for which it received subsidies worth $190 million from the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry. In July 2023, Internet Initiative Japan (IIJ) launched its second data center building at the Shiroi data center campus in Chiba Prefecture, Greater Tokyo. Once fully built, the campus will house four data center buildings. Furthermore, the company is involved in a third expansion initiative in its Matsue City campus (which will likely go live in 2025).In June 2023, Digital Edge, in partnership with Hulic, a real estate developer, announced the start of the construction of a new data center facility, TY07, in Tokyo. The facility is expected to go online by 2025.In April 2024, GDS Services partnered with Gaw Capital to develop a new data center campus in Fuchu City, Tokyo. Both companies will jointly invest toward developing a new data center facility, with the first phase slated to go online by 2026.To Buy this Research Now, Click: https://www.arizton.com/market-reports/japan-data-center-market-investment-analysis

The Hong Kong Data Center Market will Witness Investments of $4.80 Billion by 2029.
Get Insights on 54 Existing Data Centers and 12 Upcoming Facilities across Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong data center market is booming, driven by the increasing demand for digital services. The data center investments in Hong Kong over the next two to three years are expected to remain high due to the surge in demand and the significant boost due to the advancements in AI technologies. Investors are actively investing in this market.
Hong Kong is a mature and thriving market for data center development in the APAC region. Investors find it an attractive market owing to the high internet and social media usage levels, a robust business ecosystem, and excellent connectivity through both inland and submarine cables. Additionally, the deployment of 5G technology further enhances its appeal.
Hong Kong stands out globally for the incredibly high rates of cell phone and home broadband service usage. With around 300 licensed internet service providers, there is robust competition, providing data center operators with a wide range of choices.
Hong Kong is considered an attractive destination for businesses due to various reasons. Its proximity to mainland China and its import-export relations with major markets, such as China and the US, make it easier for businesses to operate. Additionally, the market has experienced significant growth in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), ranking after countries like the UK, the US, and China.
Investment Opportunities
In December 2023, the company completed the core and shell construction of phase-1 of the MEGA IDC data center campus. The facility has already signed lease agreements with cloud service providers and international banks for its available space. The company plans to expand the campus through phase-2 during the forecast period.In March 2023, the company launched its seventh data center facility, MEGA Gateway, in Tsuen Wan. The facility is part of its connected MEGA campus.Goodman is among the major investors in the Hong Kong market, and it is continuously expanding its data center presence. In March 2024, the company announced the construction of the new Texaco data center facility in Tsuen Wan. The facility is a brownfield construction that involved the conversion of an industrial building into a data center facility. The facility is likely to go online by 2026.Over 60% Of Future Demand to Come from Cloud Service Providers
The Hong Kong data center market has the presence of on-premises data centers operated by educational institutions, the government, and financial services such as HSBC Bank. A significant decline in on-premises data centers will occur in the next three to five years owing to the increase in digitalizing initiatives across sectors and the strong growth in demand for colocation and cloud services. In addition, most existing service providers offer managed solutions to enterprise customers, which will likely grow in the market from 2024-2029.
The market has the presence of all global cloud operators, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google, Microsoft, Alibaba Cloud, Huawei Cloud, and Tencent Cloud. This will propel the demand for wholesale colocation services through these service providers’ continuous expansion initiatives. The cloud segments will likely dominate capacity take-up over the next five years. In addition, the market will witness the entry of multiple global organizations to service customers through a local presence.
