Total Smart EV deliveries reached 5,147 units in April 2021, representing a 285.3% increase year-over-year. The April deliveries consisted of 2,995 P7s, XPeng’s smart sports sedan, and 2,152 G3s, XPeng’s compact smart SUV. As of April 30, 2021, year-to-date deliveries reached 18,487 units, representing a 412.5% increase year-over-year.
New Smart EV Manufacturing Base
On April 8, 2021, XPeng entered into a cooperation agreement with the City of Wuhan to develop and build the XPeng Motors Wuhan Smart EV Manufacturing Base (“Wuhan Base”).
Supported by the Wuhan government, XPeng will commence the construction of the new Wuhan Base, featuring manufacturing and powertrain plants as well as R&D facilities. With an annual capacity by 100,000 units, the Wuhan Base will further bolster XPeng’s ability to capture growing consumer demand for Smart EVs.
Expanding into China’s major auto manufacturing hub with strong local government support is another landmark in XPeng’s strategic development, and cements its leadership position in the Smart EV sector.
Debut of Third Production Model
In April 2021, XPeng debuted its third production model, the XPeng P5 smart sedan, which is the world’s first mass-produced Smart EV equipped with automotive-grade LiDAR technology. Powered by XPeng’s full-stack in-house developed autonomous driving technology – XPILOT and intelligent in-car operating system – Xmart OS, the P5 will provide users with market-leading Smart EV driving experience on the XPILOT 3.5 and the Xmart OS 3.0.
Forming New Strategic Partnership
On April 15, 2021, XPeng entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Zhongsheng Group to establish a long-term strategic partnership to deliver both XPeng’s industry-leading Smart EV products and Zhongsheng’s high quality services to consumers, in order to further boost the Smart EV transformation in China.
First Quarter 2021 Unaudited Financial Results
Total revenues were RMB2,950.9 million (US$450.4 million) for the first quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 616.1% from RMB412.1 million for the same period of 2020 and an increase of 3.5% from RMB2,851.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2020.
Revenues from vehicle sales were RMB2,810.3 million (US$428.9 million) for the first quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 655.2% from RMB372.2 million for the same period of 2020 and an increase of 2.7% from RMB2,735.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to delivery of the P7, which started at the end of June 2020. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily attributable to the revenue recognition on XPILOT 3.0 software in the first quarter of 2021 since the functionality was delivered to an accumulated group of software purchasers, partially offset by the lower government subsidy for the new energy vehicle starting from January this year.
Revenues from services and others were RMB140.6 million (US$21.5 million) for the first quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 252.2% from RMB39.9 million for the same period of 2020 and an increase of 21.3% from RMB115.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. The year-over-year and the quarter-over-quarter increases were mainly attributed to higher sales of parts, accessories, and services in line with higher accumulated vehicle sales.
