EHang Reports First Quarter 2021 Unaudited Financial Results

- Achieved Quarterly Positive Operating Cash Flow Again

- Maintained High Quarterly Gross Margin

Guangzhou, China, August 25, 2021 — EHang Holdings Limited (“EHang” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EH), the world’s leading autonomous aerial vehicle (“AAV”) technology platform company, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.

First Quarter 2021 Financial and Operational Highlights

 

   

Total revenues were RMB23.0 million (US$3.5 million), up 22.1% year-over-year, with growth mainly in air mobility solutions. Revenues from air mobility solutions contributed 98.4% of the total revenues in the first quarter of 2021.

 

   

Gross margin was 63.2%, an increase of 3.9 percentage points year-over-year, driven by continuous optimization of cost structure of air mobility products and the change in revenue mix.

 

   

Operating loss was RMB66.2 million (US$10.1 million), compared with operating loss of RMB21.1 million in the first quarter of 2020. The change in operating loss was mainly due to the increase in share-based compensation expenses charged to operating expenses.

 

   

Adjusted operating loss1 (non-GAAP) was RMB17.3 million (US$2.6 million), compared with adjusted operating loss of RMB19.2 million in the first quarter of 2020.

 

   

Net loss was RMB62.5 million (US$9.5 million), compared with net loss of RMB20.4 million in the first quarter of 2020.

 

   

Adjusted net loss2 (non-GAAP) was RMB13.7 million (US$2.1 million), compared with adjusted net loss of RMB18.5 million in the first quarter of 2020.

 

   

Net cash from operating activities was RMB16.2 million (US$2.5 million), a significant growth compared to negative RMB29.1 million in the first quarter of 2020.

 

   

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments amounted to RMB480.5 million (US$73.3 million) as of March 31, 2021, mainly due to the US$40 million investment from Carmignac and the positive net cash from operating activities achieved.

 

   

Sales of the EHang 216 series of passenger-grade AAVs, were 15 units, compared with 9 units in the first quarter of 2020.

First Quarter 2021 Business Highlights

 

   

Trial Flights to Initiate an Urban Air Mobility (“UAM”) Plan in the Hengqin New Area in Southern China

In January, EHang announced strategic partnerships with local partners to jointly initiate trial air mobility operations in the Hengqin New Area (“Hengqin”), the largest of the islands surrounding Zhuhai city in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area of China. A total of 36 passengers experienced trial flights for aerial sightseeing in Hengqin on the announcement date. In February, the local partner further carried out the first trial flights of the EHang 216 over the sea of southern China from Hengqin to Dong’ao Island, a tourist destination island, showcasing its potential application in air mobility use cases such as aerial sightseeing.

 

   

Trial Flights of Passenger-grade AAVs for the First Time in Beijing

In February, EHang completed trial flights of the EHang 216 in Beijing in a cold weather at an air temperature of minus 14 degrees Celsius to demonstrate the safety, reliability and environmental adaptability of its cutting-edge AAV technologies. This was also the first time that passenger-grade AAVs flew in Beijing, the capital city of China.

 

   

Participation in a Series of UAM Projects Supported by the European Union

In January and February, as a pioneer of cutting-edge AAV products and technological solutions, EHang was selected to participate in a series of UAM projects supported by the European Union to demonstrate ways to achieve safe, sustainable, socially acceptable, and effective UAM. These projects include: 1) the Air Mobility Urban - Large Experimental Demonstration (“AMU-LED”) project in Spain, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands; 2) the Re-Invent Air Mobility initiative in France; 3) the Safe and Flexible Integration of Advanced U-Space Services for Medical Air Mobility (“SAFIR-Med”) project in Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Greece and Czech Republic; and 4) the GOF 2.0 Integrated Urban Airspace VLD.

 

   

Partnership with Giancarlo Zema Design Group to Build an Eco-sustainable Vertiport in Italy

In March, EHang entered into a partnership with Giancarlo Zema Design Group (“GZDG”), a leading Italian architecture firm. GZDG has designed and intends to build an eco-sustainable vertiport in Italy using EHang’s passenger-grade AAV technologies and air mobility solutions. The vertiport will use green design and construction materials and can generate energy to recharge the EHang 216 AAVs.

 

   

Partnership with Dongfeng USharing to Co-develop a Solution for Seamlessly-Connected Mobility Services Leveraging AAV Technologies

In March, EHang entered into a partnership with Dongfeng USharing Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Dongfeng Motor Corporation (a Fortune Global 500 company and one of the largest auto makers in China) to co-develop a solution for Seamlessly Connected Mobility Services for logistics using EHang’s AAV technologies.

CEO Remarks

“We started the year of 2021 with a 22.1% year-over-year revenue growth in the first quarter, achieved again quarterly positive operating cash flow and maintained high quarterly gross margin at 63.2%. All of these reflected our growing competitive strengths,” said Mr. Huazhi Hu, EHang’s Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Upon entering 2021, we focused more on our core business in air mobility solutions through expanding our trial operation programs and industrywide partnerships for UAM powered by our cutting-edge AAV products and technologies to gain robust growth momentum into the near future.”

Safe Harbor Statement

This press release contains statements that may constitute “forward-looking” statements pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “aims,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “likely to” and similar statements. Management has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While they believe these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond management’s control. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause EHang’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating loss, adjusted net loss, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted basic and diluted loss per ordinary share and adjusted basic and diluted loss per ADS (the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. There was no income tax impact on the Company’s non-GAAP adjustments because the non-GAAP adjustments are usually recorded in entities located in tax-free jurisdictions, such as the Cayman Islands.

The Company believes that the Non-GAAP Financial Measures help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effects of items such as share-based compensation expenses that are included in their comparable GAAP measures. The Company believes that the Non-GAAP Financial Measures provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management members in their financial and operational decision-making.

Each of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to its comparable GAAP measure, operating profit margin and net margin or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the Company’s most directly comparable GAAP measures in conjunction with the Non-GAAP Financial Measures. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company’s data. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. For more information on the Non-GAAP Financial Measures, please see the table captioned “Condensed Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this press release.

This press release contains translations of certain RMB amounts into U.S. dollars (“USD”) at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise stated, all translations from RMB to USD were made at the rate of RMB6.5518 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate in effect on March 31, 2021 in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board.

EHang Reports Second Quarter 2021 Unaudited Financial Results

- Achieved Record High Quarterly Gross Margin Again

- EHang 216 AAV’s CAAC Type Certification Process Prioritized

- Released VT-30 Long-Range Passenger-grade AAV

- Completed EHang 216F’s Technical Examination for Commercialization

- Commenced Operations of New Yunfu Production Facility

Guangzhou, China, August 25, 2021 — EHang Holdings Limited (“EHang” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EH), the world’s leading autonomous aerial vehicle (“AAV”) technology platform company, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Second Quarter 2021 Financial and Operational Highlights

 

Total revenues were RMB12.2 million (US$1.9 million), down 65.9% year over year. The decrease was mainly due to the strategic transition into a more operation platform-oriented model.

 

Gross margin was 68.0%, an increase of 10.4 percentage points year over year. The increase was mainly due to higher margin of a command-and-control system for smart city management project completed in the second quarter of 2021.

 

Operating loss was RMB74.9 million (US$11.6 million), compared with operating loss of RMB19.2 million in the second quarter of 2020.

 

Adjusted operating loss1 (non-GAAP) was RMB49.4 million (US$7.7 million), compared with adjusted operating loss of RMB11.1 million in the second quarter of 2020.

 

Net loss was RMB74.6 million (US$11.6 million), compared with net loss of RMB19.7 million in the second quarter of 2020.

 

Adjusted net loss2 (non-GAAP) was RMB49.1 million (US$7.6 million), compared with adjusted net loss of RMB11.7 million in the second quarter of 2020.

 

Sales of the EHang 216 series of passenger-grade AAVs, were 3 units, compared with 16 units in the second quarter of 2020, as the Company is experiencing a gradual transition from a product sales focused model to an operation platform-oriented model.

Second Quarter 2021 Business Highlights

 

The EHang 216 AAV’s CAAC Type Certification Process Prioritized

In January this year, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (“CAAC”) officially accepted EHang’s Type Certification application for the EHang 216 AAV. Since April, the CAAC’s designated type certification expert team has conducted several rounds of review meetings and inspections. Critical consensus has been reached that the type certification of EHang 216 AAV is an important project in China and needs to be prioritized.

Release of the Long-Range VT-30 Passenger-grade AAV to Expand Regional Air Mobility Coverage

In May, EHang released the “VT-30”, a new model of electric dual-seat passenger-grade AAV in EHang’s product suite that is designed for inter-city air transportation and complementary to the EHang 216 designed for intra-city air mobility. With a hybrid structure of eVTOL and fixed wings, the VT-30 is designed to travel a distance of up to 300km with a designed flight time of up to 100 minutes.

 

Continued Trial Flights to Further Demonstrate AAV Technical Strength and Urban Air Mobility (“UAM”) Use Cases

As the first mover and industry leader with strong capabilities of autonomous flying, EHang with local partners continued trial and demo flights with the EHang 216 AAV series at multiple public events showcasing its practical uses. For example, its maiden flight in Japan was successfully completed with the local partner in June with Japan’s first outdoor open airspace trial flight permission granted to a passenger-grade AAV. In April, the EHang 216 made an impressive debut at the Chinese Super League in Guangzhou by flying into the opening ceremony carrying a representative holding the championship trophy. In June, EHang participated in the anti-COVID-19 campaign in Guangzhou by transporting emergency supplies to quarantine areas using the EHang 216 and the EHang 216L AAVs.

Recent Developments

 

Completion of the EHang 216F’s Technical Examination and Urban Fire Rescue Drills in China

In July, EHang completed a comprehensive 10-month technical examination on the EHang 216F and 52 different types of tests by the China National Fire-Fighting Equipment Quality Supervision Testing Center, which is under the Ministry of Emergency Management of China. In August following the examination, the EHang 216F AAVs were utilized by the local emergency and/or fire departments in several urban fire rescue drills in China’s cities of Qingdao, Guangzhou and Hezhou. These have laid a solid foundation for the commercialization of EHang 216F AAVs.

 

Commencement of Operations in Yunfu Production Facility

EHang’s new production facility in Yunfu, China commenced operations in June. It is approximately 24,000 square meters in gross floor area to house the major AAV production processes from manufacturing key components and carbon fiber composite airframes to AAV assembling and flight testing in designated function areas. It has a planned initial annual capacity of 600 units of passenger-grade AAVs.

The Investor Day, which was scheduled to be held at the new Yunfu production facility on August 18, 2021, had been unexpectedly and urgently called off by the local governmental authorities right before the event. This was due to the re-tightened travel and group gathering restrictions, as the newest COVID-19 cases of the Delta variant were identified in Guangzhou city, where the Company’s main office is located, and other areas in China. The Company will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation as it evolves, and communicate with investors and local authorities in a timely manner if the Yunfu Investor Day will be rescheduled to a later date.

CEO Remarks

“In the second quarter, our quarterly gross margin increased to a record high of 68%, reflecting our growing competitive strengths and leadership position,” said Mr. Huazhi Hu, EHang’s Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We made meaningful progresses toward the certification process and trial operations for our existing AAV products such as the EHang 216 and the EHang 216F, and further made our product and solution portfolio well-rounded for urban air mobility by introducing the new model VT-30.”

“Looking ahead, we will continue moving towards our long-term strategic goal of becoming a UAM platform operator through accumulating solid momentum as we are implementing the ‘100 Air Mobility Routes Initiative’. With that goal in mind, we have so far targeted 15 self-run operation spots and another 21 spots run by our customers, mostly in Southern China. Meanwhile, we are making efforts to get ourselves ready for trial operations through production optimizations and the prioritizing certification process. We are confident in maintaining our leadership position and competitiveness among our industry peers in the burgeoning UAM market.”

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Revenues

Total revenues were RMB12.2 million (US$1.9 million), down 65.9% year over year with RMB35.7 million in the second quarter of 2020. The decrease was mainly due to the Company’s strategic transition into a more operation platform-oriented model.

Costs of revenues

Costs of revenues were RMB3.9 million (US$0.6 million), down 74.3% year over year, primarily due to the change in the sales volume of AAV products and solutions.

Gross profit

Gross profit was RMB8.3 million (US$1.3 million), down 59.8% from RMB20.6 million in the second quarter of 2020.

Gross margin was 68.0%, up 10.4 percentage points from 57.6% in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher margin of a command-and-control system for smart city management project completed in the second quarter of 2021.

Operating expenses    

Total operating expenses were RMB85.3 million (US$13.2 million), up 96.5% from RMB43.4 million in the second quarter of 2020. Operating expense as a percentage of total revenues was 701.6%, compared with 121.7% in the second quarter of 2020. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the reasons discussed under the heading “Adjusted operating expenses (non-GAAP)” below and the total increase of RMB17.5 million (US$2.7 million) in share-based compensation expenses and the charges to sales and marketing expenses, general and administration expenses and research and development expenses were RMB1.4 million (US$0.2 million), RMB8.4 million (US$1.3 million) and RMB7.7 million (US$1.2 million), respectively.

Loss per share and per ADS

Basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share were both RMB0.67 (US$0.10). Adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share4 (non-GAAP) were both RMB0.44 (US$0.07).

Basic and diluted net loss per ADS were both RMB1.34 (US$0.20). Adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ADS5 (non-GAAP) were both RMB0.88 (US$0.14).

Business Outlook

The Company’s revenue forecast for 2021 remains between RMB130 million and RMB180 million, as the Company strategically transitions into a more operation platform-oriented model and the commercialization of the EHang 216F, the firefighting model, among other AAVs.

The above outlook is based on information available as of the date of this press release and reflects the Company’s current and preliminary expectations regarding its business situation and market conditions. The outlook is subject to change, especially considering uncertainties and situations related to how the COVID-19 pandemic further develops.

Safe Harbor Statement

This press release contains statements that may constitute “forward-looking” statements pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “aims,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “likely to” and similar statements. Management has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While they believe these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond management’s control. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause EHang’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating loss, adjusted net loss, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted basic and diluted loss per ordinary share and adjusted basic and diluted loss per ADSs (the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. There was no income tax impact on the Company’s non-GAAP adjustments because the non-GAAP adjustments are usually recorded in entities located in tax-free jurisdictions, such as the Cayman Islands.

The Company believes that the Non-GAAP Financial Measures help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effects of items such as share-based compensation expenses that are included in their comparable GAAP measures. The Company believes that the Non-GAAP Financial Measures provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management members in their financial and operational decision-making.

Each of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to its comparable GAAP measure, operating profit margin and net margin or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the Company’s most directly comparable GAAP measures in conjunction with the Non-GAAP Financial Measures. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company’s data. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
