William Li: Thank you for the question. It's true that the entire industry has encountered challenges in Q1 of this year as a lot of industry numbers and data have already shown the market and the environment. For this year, we also believe that the size of the Chinese passenger vehicle market will also see a slight decline from last year. Within China's passenger vehicle market, we believe that the penetration rate of the new energy vehicles will continue to grow. Among the new energy vehicles, battery electric vehicle will see a stronger growing momentum. Actually, last year, the increase of the new energy vehicle market as a whole is largely driven by the increase of the BEV models. The penetration rate of BEV increased by 26% to 33%. This is largely driven by the BEV models. As technology and infrastructure network continue to mature, we believe that the BEV market or segment will maintain the strong momentum also this year.

We believe that with this trend where BEV is actually growing within the segment, our product launch cadence is also in a perfect match with the macro trend in the industry. This is also where we have the confidence for the continuous growth this year.

Speaker #3: And more specifically on the large cerebral battery . Battery electric SUVs as well as the large five seater battery electric SUV . We also see a strong momentum last year in September last year was since September last year .

Speaker #3: The large three row battery electric SUV model has been leading the segment across all powertrain and energy types for five consecutive months , and in the second half of last year , the sales actually increased by 350% , while for reef , it actually decreased by 6% .

Speaker #3: So we believe that with this trend , we're actually growing within the segment . Our product launch cadence is also in a perfect match with the micro trend in the industry .

Speaker #3: This is also where we have the confidence for the continuous growth this year .

Stanley Qu: 今年我们的三款全新的产品,ES9,就是行政旗舰SUV,我们科技行政SUV旗舰,这个是今年二季度会上市,四月九号我们就会开这个产品技术的发布会。我们基于ES8平台的这样一个大五座的SUV在三季度会上市。我们这个乐道的L80在二季度会上市。那这样的话呢,就完成了我们在这五款——加上我们原来的L90,现在已经上市的L90和正在热销的全新ES8,我们这五款大型SUV,中大型和大型的SUV,我们就完成了这样的一个在高端的大型SUV里面的全面的布局,给我们全年的销量增长打下了一个非常好的基础。

William Li: Also for the ET5, ET5T, ES6, and EC6, they are also leading in their respective segments also with steady demand. For the ONVO L60, it is also the top three among the peers in its segment. Very soon, we are also going to introduce updates on the L60, and we can really look forward to the refreshes of this product. Worth noting is that for Firefly, it's actually performing pretty well among the high-end smart small car segment with a very significant market share. For the full year, we also are having confidence with the sales volume of Firefly, as since after the Spring Festival holiday, we are seeing the rebounding demand for the Firefly models. For the full year, we do have confidence of achieving a year-over-year volume growth of 40% to 50%.

Rui Chen: Thank you. My second question is about the autonomous driving, because I think during the opening remark, William mentioned after the rollout of the World Model, the time of AD usage grew 80% month-over-month in February. Can we know some what key feedback has been received regarding user experience? Additionally, we noticed several EV peers have or would introduce a more meaningful system model upgrades this year. What would be NIO's key technological highlights and differentiators, especially in a tight Level 3, Level 4 range? That's my second question. Thank you.

Speaker #5: What The AD Is And The The The Sandy I Mean the machine Rui Chen . Should had a Woman . The the woman to push the

William Li: Thank you for the question. Actually, for us, we believe that there are two key parameters to showcase if the smart driving experience and functionality is the best for our users. The first is the share of the smart driving time among the total driving time for users in the real life driving scenarios. The second is the number of accidents that are mitigated or avoided under the smart driving functionality. As you've mentioned, from January to February this year, after the rollout of the version, the usage of the smart driving functionality actually increased by more than 80% month-over-month. This is based on the new World Model version with limited computing investments we made last year.

Speaker #1: Your next question comes from Ben Wang with Deutsche Bank

Bin Wang: Thank you for taking my question. I have two. Number one is about Q1 margin guidance. Based on your volume assumption, what are we looking at? Because you're actually facing the rising memory cost and the cost for raw material. Recently we may actually launch sample substitute for ES8, about CNY 10,000. Can you provide a Q1 margin guidance? The second question is more about receivable from related parties because investors see this number keep increase every single quarter. Can you provide a forecast? What's the trend for this receivable from related parties? It likely came from your battery swap partners. Thank you.

Speaker #4: Thank you for taking my question . I come from two . Number one is about first quarter margin guidance based on your volume assumption .

Speaker #4: What should we looking at . Because you actually facing the rising memory cost . Maybe some of the low recently we may actually launch some of the subsidy for Isa .

Speaker #4: About 10,000 maybe . So can you provide a first quarter margin guidance ? And the second question is more about the about the receivable from the parties , because investors see this number .

Speaker #4: It keeps increasing every single quarter. Can you provide a forecast? What's the trend for this receivable from related parties that came from your battery swap partners?

Speaker #2: Shipping Woman . Yes . That William Li that for the for the yes . The for the GMB has Product mix on of the .

Speaker #2: Yes for the The The Shipping

William Li: Thank you for the question. Overall speaking for the vehicle growth margin in Q1, it will be maintained at a similar level as in Q4 last year. In Q1, there were seasonality factors as well as the policy impacts. Overall speaking, we still have ES8 order backlogs. Also since the Spring Festival holidays, we see a pretty good recovery on the order momentum of the ES8 model. Overall speaking, the ES8 model will still be playing a major part in our total deliveries in Q1. That part is guaranteed. With the product mix largely decided by the high margin product like the ES8, we will also be able to maintain a relatively flat vehicle growth margin in Q1 this year.

Speaker #3: In Q1 , there were seasonality factors as well as the policy impacts , but overall speaking , we still have yes , eight order backlogs .

Speaker #3: And also since the Spring Festival holidays , we've seen a pretty good recovery on the order momentum of the S8 model . So overall speaking , the yes eight model will still be playing a major part in our total deliveries in Q1 .

Speaker #3: So that part is guaranteed with the product mix largely decided by the high margin product . Like the yes eight , we will also be able to maintain a relatively flat vehicle gross margin in Q1 this year .

William Li: As you've also mentioned, there are other external factors, including the rising raw material costs, rising costs for the chip, memory chips, as well as the lithium carbonate for the battery packs. Those impacts are also going to take effect starting Q1. As we have just get started, the current impact on our Q1 vehicle margin is also limited.

William Li: Regarding your questions on the accounts payable by the affiliated party, it's mainly the accounts payable by our battery asset management company, Weineng. As in the recent months, we are seeing growth in both sales volume of our products as well as the take rate of the battery as a service. We also see increasing accounts payable by the battery asset management company. For them, they've been keeping a smooth and also diversified financing channels through debt financing, equity financing or the bank-backed consumer installment financing. Overall speaking, they've been having a diversified and smooth financing channels. This is also, we believe that we will have a good control and organized control over the accounts payable by the battery asset management company as well as the payment terms.

Operator: Your next question comes from Paul Gong with UBS.

Speaker #1: Your next question comes from Paul Gong with UBS

Paul Gong: Thanks for taking my question. My first question is continuing with the raw material cost inflation. Just now I think Stanley has mentioned that the pressure is just beginning to be felt in Q1 and I think probably in Q2 that some more pressure could be felt. Given NIO is a position that's relatively high end and still have a relatively strong demand and new orders compared to the peers, do you think you can pass at least part of the cost inflation to the downstream to the customers? That is my first question regarding the raw material cost inflation pass-through.

Paul Gong: Thanks for taking my question. My first question is continuing with the raw material cost inflation. Just now I think Stanley has mentioned that the pressure is just beginning to be felt in Q1 and I think probably in Q2 that some more pressure could be felt. Given NIO is a position that's relatively high end and still have a relatively strong demand and new orders compared to the peers, do you think you can pass at least part of the cost inflation to the downstream to the customers? That is my first question regarding the raw material cost inflation pass-through.

Speaker #4: Thanks for .

Speaker #7: Taking my question. My first question is, continue with the raw material cost inflation. Just now, I think Stanley has mentioned that they are...

Speaker #7: Pressure is just beginning to be felt in Q1, and I think probably in Q2. That pressure could be felt given Leo is a position that is relatively high-end and still has a relatively strong demand and new orders compared to the peers.

Speaker #7: Do you think you can pass this part of the cost inflation to the downstream , to the customers ? That is my first question regarding the raw material cost inflation pass through

Stanley Qu: Hi Paul.

William Li: Hi Paul.

Speaker #2: Hi , Paul You can I Yu Qu To the volatility In the To the

William Li: I will follow up on my previous answer. For this year, we do face pressures coming from the vehicle cost structure. Also because of the trend on the AI and computing power, as well as the tensions on the geopolitical side, we do see the rising material costs or the volatilities in the prices regarding memory chips, copper or lithium carbonate, and all kinds of raw materials. We do have pressure regarding our cost structure as well as the vehicle margin. For the full year, so far, we don't have a clear picture regarding the implication of all these volatilities and uncertainties. In the meantime, we will keep working with our supply chain partners to improve the supply chain efficiency and to mitigate the negative impact of such uncertainties as much as possible.

Stanley Qu: I will follow up on my previous answer. For this year, we do face pressures coming from the vehicle cost structure.

Speaker #3: I will follow up on my previous answer for this year. We do face pressures coming from the vehicle cost structure, and also because of the trend on AI and computing power, as well as the tensions on the geopolitical side.

Speaker #3: We do see the rising material costs , or the volatilities in the prices . memory chips , copper or lithium carbonate and all kinds of raw materials .

Speaker #3: So, we do have pressure regarding our cost structure as well as the vehicle margin. But for the full year so far, we don't have a clear picture regarding the implication of all this volatility and uncertainties.

Speaker #3: But in the will keep working with our supply chain partners to improve the supply chain efficiency and to mitigate the meantime , we negative impact of such uncertainties as much as possible

Speaker #2: Seeing the SUV show 2020 , we All Will be Going to show A function The shipping

William Li: Also as introduced by William, this year we are going to launch three new large models. Together we will be having five large SUV models in our lineup, and they will be making major contributions to our sales and delivery volume. As larger vehicle models normally have higher margin and they are more resilient towards this raw material volatilities and uncertainties. In that case, we do have confidence to try to mitigate or offset the impact brought by the rising raw material costs and try to maintain our vehicle gross margin within a reasonable range for full year this year.

Stanley Qu: Also as introduced by William, this year we are going to launch three new large models. Together we will be having five large SUV models in our lineup, and they will be making major contributions to our sales and delivery volume.

In that case, we do have confidence to try to mitigate or offset the impact brought by the rising raw material costs and try to maintain our vehicle gross margin within a reasonable range for full year this year.

Speaker #3: But also, as introduced by William this year, we are going to launch three new large models. So together, we will have five large SUV models in our lineup.

Speaker #3: And they will be making a major contributions to our South and delivery volume as a larger vehicle . Models normally have higher margin and they are more resilient towards this raw material .

Speaker #3: Volatility and uncertainties. In that case, we do have confidence to try to mitigate or offset the impact brought by the rising raw material costs and try to maintain our vehicle gross margin within a reasonable range for the full year.

Speaker #3: This year

Paul Gong: Thank you. Okay. If I may have my second question, that is regarding the expense. We have seen that the cost control has taken quite some effect, especially from the R&D that has reduced from CNY 3 billion in Q2 into CNY 2 billion in Q4. Given Q4 is traditionally the strong season with the expense, moving to Q1 and Q2, do you foresee further optimization on the expense side, or do you think the CNY 2 billion per quarter is going to be the new normal?

Paul Gong: Thank you. Okay. If I may have my second question, that is regarding the expense. We have seen that the cost control has taken quite some effect, especially from the R&D that has reduced from CNY 3 billion in Q2 into CNY 2 billion in Q4. Given Q4 is traditionally the strong season with the expense, moving to Q1 and Q2, do you foresee further optimization on the expense side, or do you think the CNY 2 billion per quarter is going to be the new normal?

Speaker #7: Thank you . Okay . My . Yeah . Sorry if I may have my second question . That is regarding the expense . We have seen that the cost control has taken quite some effects , especially from the R&D that has reduced from 3 billion in Q2 into 2 billion in Q4 , given Q4 is traditionally the strong season with expense .

Speaker #7: So, moving to Q1 and Q2, do you foresee further optimization on the expense side, or do you think the $2 billion per quarter is going to be the new norm?

Stanley Qu: Uh,

Stanley Qu: Uh,

Speaker #2: How'd that Q2 Which is a Due to the the Two .

William Li: Thank you for the question. In 2026, on a quarterly basis, we will be maintaining our R&D investment at the level of around RMB 2 to 2.5 billion per quarter. For the full year, the R&D expenses will be at a similar level as we spent in 2025. In the meantime, as now we have the Cell Business Unit mechanism in place, we will use that mechanism to keep improving the R&D efficiency, to eradicate the low efficiency items among our R&D activities, and also to keep improving the return on all the R&D activities.

Stanley Qu: Thank you for the question. In 2026, on a quarterly basis, we will be maintaining our R&D investment at the level of around RMB 2 to 2.5 billion per quarter.

Operator: Your next question comes from Nick Lai, JP Morgan.

Speaker #1: Your next question comes from Nicole JP Morgan

Nick Lai: Thank you for taking my question. I'd like to follow up previous question on profit and also cost. Given William you talked about very strong volume outlook for 2026. Also we have a lot of new model coming higher pricing, higher margin products from Q2 and onward. But at the same time the cost inflation pressure kicking in from Q2 as well. I mean putting all this together, I mean, can you help us understand how should we think about the ability maybe for second half or Q2? Or should we think, should we expect NIO can be potentially reach non-GAAP profit or break even sometime in second half or maybe in second half? And what does that mean for the free cash flow position for the full year? Thanks.

Nick Lai: Thank you for taking my question. I'd like to follow up previous question on profit and also cost. Given William you talked about very strong volume outlook for 2026.

Speaker #4: Yeah .

Speaker #7: Thank you for taking my question . I'd like to follow up previous question on on the profit . And also cost given you talk about very strong volume outlook .

Speaker #7: Yeah . For for 26 . Also we have a lot of new models coming higher higher pricing , higher margin product from second quarter .

Speaker #7: And onward . But at the same time the cost inflation pressure kicking in from second quarter as well . So I mean putting all this together I mean can you help us understand how should we think about the ability maybe for second half or second quarter or , or should we think should we expect NIO can be potentially reach a non-GAAP profit or break even sometime in the second half , or maybe in the second half ?

Speaker #7: And what does that mean for the our free cash flow position for the full year ? Thanks

Stanley Qu: Hi Nick。对,确实。当然,销量方面,我们还是维持这个全年40到50的增长目标。我们基于今年的这三款大车,还是非常有信心的。那毛利方面,刚刚也提到,确实我们也会碰到来自于成本端的压力。但是,也看到我们这个大车在毛利率上的表现,像ES8,我们在四季度的毛利也都是超过20%,接近25%,所以整体的大车的毛利抗风险的能力还是比较强。所以,在2026年全年,我们还是依然维持一个全年实现Non-GAAP operating profit盈利的目标。

William Li: Hi Nick。对,确实。当然,销量方面,我们还是维持这个全年40到50的增长目标。我们基于今年的这三款大车,还是非常有信心的。那毛利方面,刚刚也提到,确实我们也会碰到来自于成本端的压力。但是,也看到我们这个大车在毛利率上的表现,像ES8,我们在四季度的毛利也都是超过20%,接近25%,所以整体的大车的毛利抗风险的能力还是比较强。所以,在2026年全年,我们还是依然维持一个全年实现Non-GAAP operating profit盈利的目标。

Speaker #2: Hi , Nick . The Which you In You You can Yes . For the So The model has In the early non-GAAP operating profit in

William Li: Thank you for the question. Regarding the sales volume, we are still on track of the target of achieving 40% to 50% year-over-year growth in our sales volume. As we've introduced this year, we are going to launch three large models that give us a confidence in the volume target. In the meantime, regarding the vehicle gross margin, we do have pressure on the margin and also the vehicle cost structure. As mentioned, we will be having more large models introduced this year as they will be contributing more significant margin. Like for the ES8 in Q4 last year, its vehicle gross margin was close to 25%. Overall speaking, large models are more resilient towards the price volatility in the market. With the volume and also the vehicle margin outlook combined, we still have the target of achieving full-year Non-GAAP operating profit breakeven in 2026.

William Li: Charging and swapping, they are not contradictory. We also have developed more than 28,000 power chargers and destination chargers. We are also one of the most active, Chinese car companies, in terms of the charging network development. For swapping, home charging, and supercharging, they come at different benefits, and they serve different purposes for users in different use cases and scenarios. For us, we always offer this holistic solution featuring charging, swapping, and upgradability.

William Li: We see some industry peers. They have announced advanced technologies in terms of the charging and the charging speed.

[Translator]: We see some industry peers. They have announced advanced technologies in terms of the charging and the charging speed. We are also happy to see such technological innovation and development. In the foreseeable future, no matter how fast the charging becomes, it will never outperform the speed or the experience of Power Swap. Also there are additional benefits brought by the Power Swap that charging will never offer. We believe that Power Swap is also a systematic solution to solve the problems regarding the mismatched life cycles between the vehicles and the batteries. In the Chinese automotive industry, the warranty period for the battery pack is normally eight years, 160,000 kilometers or at 70% state of health after use.

For the vehicles, for the business and commercial purposes, normally their duration is shorter, but for the private sectors, the vehicle can be used for up to 15 years. In that case, the battery life cycle is significantly shorter than that of the vehicles. If the battery and the vehicles are tightly coupled with each other after 9 or 10 years, this mismatched life cycle will become a major problem for the users and industries. For that, we believe that Power Swap enables a flexible solution or innovative solution to solve the mismatched life cycles between vehicles and batteries.

Speaker #5: Now the the The the way who Are want to Show for so this is

William Li: Also under our Power Swap system, together with our long life battery, our charging and discharging strategy, as well as our life cycle monitoring and also inspections on the battery health, all these measures come as a very systematic and holistic operational approach for us to keep monitoring the safety of the battery and also maximize the longevity of our battery products. This requires systematic thinking and systematic design. It's more than a matter of the charging or swapping speed, it actually provides the industry a systematic solution.

Speaker #3: All this measures come as a very systematic and holistic operational approach for us to keep monitoring the safety of the battery and also maximize the longevity of our battery products .

Speaker #3: And this requires systematic thinking and systematic design . So it's more than a matter of charging or swapping speed . It actually provides the industry a systematic solution

Stanley Qu: 另外我想强调一点,换电呢,它是一个分布式的储能设施。大家都知道中国现在新能源发电的绿电的消纳是一个非常大的问题,所以中国也在建设这个叫新型的电力系统。那么换电站,作为一个新型的能源设施,那么它参与电力的存储消纳,参与电网互动,这方面的话呢,它是有非常大的商业机会和商业价值。因为它和一般的储能去比的话呢,我们是能够只减少一次建设,这其实至少有一个大概6%左右的优势,效率的优势,所以它的运营经济性比一般的储能呢,其实是要更高一些。所以总的来说的话呢,我们要更长远地去看,我们现在在中国是接近3,800座换电站,如果我们是一万座换电站,每个换电站布满电池的话呢,那我们其实基本上,我们现有的换电站那基本上已经相当于6到7吉瓦时的储能容量,其实它已经是一个非常大的储能设施、一个体系了。

William Li: 另外我想强调一点,换电呢,它是一个分布式的储能设施。大家都知道中国现在新能源发电的绿电的消纳是一个非常大的问题,所以中国也在建设这个叫新型的电力系统。那么换电站,作为一个新型的能源设施,那么它参与电力的存储消纳,参与电网互动,这方面的话呢,它是有非常大的商业机会和商业价值。因为它和一般的储能去比的话呢,我们是能够只减少一次建设,这其实至少有一个大概6%左右的优势,效率的优势,所以它的运营经济性比一般的储能呢,其实是要更高一些。所以总的来说的话呢,我们要更长远地去看,我们现在在中国是接近3,800座换电站,如果我们是一万座换电站,每个换电站布满电池的话呢,那我们其实基本上,我们现有的换电站那基本上已经相当于6到7吉瓦时的储能容量,其实它已经是一个非常大的储能设施、一个体系了。

Speaker #5: In the Q4, no one can—we charge the new, the user system to the solution.

William Li: Also for the Power Swap system, it is also a distributed energy storage system. As with renewable energy and the green electricity generation, the storage and consumption of such renewable energy is a big challenge. This is also why the Chinese government is now building up the new power system to be able to digest all this, green energy. The Power Swap station is also a type of the new power system as it can help with energy storage, energy consumption, as well as the interaction with the power grid. In that case, we do see opportunities as well as the value, on the business side brought by our Power Swap system.

Speaker #3: And also for the power swap system , it is also a distributed energy storage system . As with renewable energy and green electricity generation , the storage and consumption of such renewable energy is a big challenge .

Speaker #3: This is also why the Chinese government is now building up the new power system . To be able to digest all this green energy and the power swap station is also a type of a new power system , as it can help with energy storage , energy consumption , as well as the interaction with the power grid .

Speaker #3: In that case , we do see opportunities as well as the value of on the business side brought by our power swap system , and also different from the supercharging requiring energy storage .

William Li: Also different from the supercharging requiring energy storage, we actually only needed to charge and discharge the battery once, which can help to reduce the secondary, energy loss, that can contribute to an efficiency improvement or benefit of around 6%. Economic-wise, Power Swap is also more efficient and viable. For the charging for the swapping network now, so far in China, we already have installed more than 3,800 Power Swap stations. If every station comes with a full battery pack installation, it will be a total energy storage volume of around 6 to 7 gigawatt hours, which is already pretty sizable from the energy storage perspective. Overall speaking, Power Swap not only provides better charging or recharging experience for our users.

Speaker #3: We actually only need to charge and discharge the battery once , which can help to reduce the secondary energy loss that can contribute to a efficiency improvement or benefit of around 6% .

Speaker #3: So economic wise , power swap is also more efficient and viable . And for the charging for the swapping network . Now so far in China , we already have installed more than 3008 hundred power swap stations .

Speaker #3: If every station comes with a full battery pack installment, it will be a total energy storage volume of around 6 to 7 gigawatt-hours, which is already pretty sizable from the energy storage perspective.

Speaker #5: For the 20 . To Years

Speaker #3: So overall speaking power swap not only provides better charging or recharging experience for our users , for the long term , it is also helping with our business development and also So this is also bringing us a long term business success .

William Li: For the long term, it is also helping with our business development and also, success. This is also bringing us a long-term business success, and it's highly defensive.

[Translator]: For the long term, it is also helping with our business development and also, success. This is also bringing us a long-term business success, and it's highly defensive.

Speaker #3: And it's highly defensive

Ming Hsun Lee: My second question is related to your service business. In full year, your service revenue gross margin reached 11.9%. Is it mainly because the utilization of your swap station continues to increase? Looking into 2026, do you expect the gross margin of a service business will continue to improve, because based on your projection? Thank you.

Ming Hsun Lee: My second question is related to your service business. In full year, your service revenue gross margin reached 11.9%. Is it mainly because the utilization of your swap station continues to increase? Looking into 2026, do you expect the gross margin of a service business will continue to improve, because based on your projection? Thank you.

Speaker #4: And my second question is related to your your service business . So in for your service revenue , gross margin reached 11.9% . Is it is it mainly because that utilization of your substation continue to increase and the looking into 2026 , do you expect the gross margin of service business will continue to improve because based on your projection ?

Speaker #4: Thank you

Stanley Qu: Hi, Ming.

Stanley Qu: Hi, Ming.

Speaker #2: Hi . Me The The The Molly The . You Speaking Question So . So I

Speaker #3: Thank you for the question. Regarding the revenues from other cells, it's mainly our service revenues as well as the revenues from community-related businesses.

Speaker #3: And in 2025 , as our user base grow and the operational efficiency grow , we we have also achieved the growth in our other source revenue .

Speaker #3: More than 10 billion RMB last year , which is also a growing part in our total revenue . And for this year , as we continue to grow our user base , we also are expecting the growth in our other sales revenue and also it will continue to make positive contribution to the group level gross margin .

Speaker #3: And regarding the charging and swapping business , as we will continue to develop and deploy our infrastructure network , especially our power swap network at the pace of around 1000 new stations every year .

Speaker #3: With all this upfront investment in the infrastructure for the near term , we will still see operational losses on the charging and swapping network side .

Speaker #3: But the profit from other cells can basically cover the losses on the power, and on the power side. So, the overall business development will actually be conducted at a controlled pace.

Speaker #5: Do you And

William Li: I would like to add a comment here. In 2025, we have achieved the profitability on our other sales, mainly our services and the community-related businesses. In 2026, we also believe that we will continue to enhance the profitability of this part, even against the precondition that we are going to install 1,000 new Power Swap Stations this year. We will still target to achieve improved profitability for this part of the business.

Stanley Qu: I would like to add a comment here. In 2025, we have achieved the profitability on our other sales, mainly our services and the community-related businesses. In 2026, we also believe that we will continue to enhance the profitability of this part, even against the precondition that we are going to install 1,000 new Power Swap Stations this year. We will still target to achieve improved profitability for this part of the business.

Speaker #3: And also I would like to add a comment here . In 2025 we have achieved the profitability on our other cells , mainly our services and community related businesses .

Speaker #3: And in 2026, we also believe that we will continue to enhance the profitability of this part, even against the precondition that we are going to install 1,000 new power stations this year.

Speaker #3: We will still target to achieve improved profitability for this part of the business.

Stanley Qu: Thank you, Ming.

Stanley Qu: Thank you, Ming.

Speaker #2: Thank you . Me

Ming Hsun Lee: That's all my questions.

Ming Hsun Lee: That's all my questions.

Speaker #4: That's all my questions

Operator: Your next question comes from Yuqian Ding with HSBC.

Operator: Your next question comes from Yuqian Ding with HSBC.

Speaker #1: Your next question comes from Yu Qu with HSBC

Yuqian Ding: Thank you. I have two questions. The first is to follow up on the OpEx optimization. We talked about R&D guidance before. Could we share more color in terms of the SG&A? Q4, we hit SG&A absolute value at CNY 3.5 billion. Can we extrapolate to understand that's the baseline? If we multiply it by 4, that's the baseline or range we can understand in 2026.

Yuqian Ding: Thank you. I have two questions. The first is to follow up on the OpEx optimization. We talked about R&D guidance before. Could we share more color in terms of the SG&A? Q4, we hit SG&A absolute value at CNY 3.5 billion. Can we extrapolate to understand that's the baseline? If we multiply it by 4, that's the baseline or range we can understand in 2026.

Speaker #9: Yes . Thank you Tim I have two questions . The first is to follow up on the OpEx optimization . We talked about R&D guidance before .

Speaker #9: Could we share more color in terms of the SNA? So, first quarter we hit SNA absolute value at $3.5 billion. So can we extrapolate to understand that's the baseline?

Speaker #9: If we multiply it by by four that's the baseline . Or range we can understand 2026 .

Stanley Qu: Hi Yuqian Ding.

Stanley Qu: Hi Yuqian Ding.

Speaker #2: High The Women ROI the The to the The the The way Q1 . By the

William Li: Thank you for the questions. In Q4 2025, as we have seen growth both in sales volume as well as sales revenue, the percentage of SG&A to the sales revenue has also fallen into a reasonable range. That is also driven by our CBU mechanism as well as the continuous efforts in the organizational efficiency improvement. It's partially because in Q4 we didn't introduce or launch any new models, so we didn't have much expenses on the marketing and relevant activities and events. For 2026, we will also continue our CBU efforts to make sure that our SG&A expenses are of the highest efficiency and good return.

Speaker #3: Thank you for in Q4 Thank you for the questions in Q4 2025 . As we have , we have see growth both in sales volume as well as sales revenue .

Stanley Qu: Thank you for the questions. In Q4 2025, as we have seen growth both in sales volume as well as sales revenue, the percentage of SG&A to the sales revenue has also fallen into a reasonable range. That is also driven by our CBU mechanism as well as the continuous efforts in the organizational efficiency improvement. It's partially because in Q4 we didn't introduce or launch any new models, so we didn't have much expenses on the marketing and relevant activities and events. For 2026, we will also continue our CBU efforts to make sure that our SG&A expenses are of the highest efficiency and good return.

Speaker #3: The percentage of Senna to the cells revenue has also fallen into a reasonable range, but that is also driven by our CPU mechanism as well as the continuous efforts in the organizational efficiency improvement.

Speaker #3: And also it is partially partially because that in Q4 we didn't introduce or launch any new models . So we didn't have much expenses on the marketing and the relevant activities .

Speaker #3: And events . And for 2026 , we will also continue our efforts to make sure that our expenses are of the highest efficiency and good return .

William Li: The absolute amount of the SG&A expenses this year will be growing. Proportionally to our sales revenue increase, we would like to control that to be within 10% of our sales revenue.

Stanley Qu: The absolute amount of the SG&A expenses this year will be growing. Proportionally to our sales revenue increase, we would like to control that to be within 10% of our sales revenue.

Speaker #3: The absolute amount of the G&A expenses this year will be growing , but proportionally to our sales revenue increase , we would like to control that to be within 10% of our sales revenue

Stanley Qu: Okay, you can.

Stanley Qu: Okay, you can.

Yuqian Ding: Thank you, Stanley. The second question is to ask about the volume and margin breakdown by brand. We talked about our volume target and we also talked about a reasonable margin. Could you help us to understand between like three portfolio brand or between the core five big SUV portfolio versus rest? Just give us a bit of a sense to understand the dynamics between the brand or how do we cluster our volume mix so that can support sustainable margin expansion.

Yuqian Ding: Thank you, Stanley. The second question is to ask about the volume and margin breakdown by brand. We talked about our volume target and we also talked about a reasonable margin. Could you help us to understand between like three portfolio brand or between the core five big SUV portfolio versus rest? Just give us a bit of a sense to understand the dynamics between the brand or how do we cluster our volume mix so that can support sustainable margin expansion.

Speaker #2: Okay ,

Speaker #9: Thank you . Stanley . The second question is to ask about the volume and margin break down by brand . We talked about the our volume target , and we also talked about the reasonable margin .

Speaker #9: So could you help us to understand between three portfolio brand or between the core five big SUV portfolio versus rest . Just give us a bit of a sense to understand that the dynamics between the brand or how do we cluster our volume mix so that that can support sustainable margin expansion

William Li: Thank you for the question. Regarding the sales volume and the vehicle gross margin breakdown, as we've mentioned, the market will be still highly dynamic in 2026. At the moment it will be very difficult for us to give a specific or precise breakdown on the volume or margin contribution by model. To give you some high-level information, for the 5 large SUV models that we've mentioned, they will be playing a major role in our sales volume. That's one. Secondly, for the Firefly, after the Spring Festival holidays, we also see a quick rebound of its volume and order momentum back to the stable level as it had last year. This will also be another indicator regarding the volume driver.

Speaker #2: Xiao long So the Na The The break down of The SUV in the 20 to One . Xiao . 20 to 20 . I The the Two .

Speaker #2: To The one . To

William Li: Thank you for the question. Regarding the sales volume and the vehicle gross margin breakdown, as we've mentioned, the market will be still highly dynamic in 2026. At the moment it will be very difficult for us to give a specific or precise breakdown on the volume or margin contribution by model.

This will also be another indicator regarding the volume driver.

Speaker #3: Thank you for the question regarding the sales volume and the vehicle gross margin breakdown . As we've mentioned , the market will be still highly dynamic in 2026 .

Speaker #3: So at the moment it will be very difficult for us to give a specific for precise breakdown on the volume or margin contribution by model .

Speaker #3: But to give you some high-level information for the five large SUV models that we've mentioned, they will be playing a major role in our sales volume.

Speaker #3: That's that's one . And secondly , for the Firefly , as since after the Spring Festival holidays , we also see a quick rebound of its volume and order momentum back to the level , back to the stable level , as it had last year .

Speaker #3: So this will also be another indicator regarding the volume driver and regarding the vehicle gross margin . As we've mentioned , for all three brands , they will be under cost pressure due to the external volatility reasons .

William Li: Regarding the vehicle gross margin, as we've mentioned, for all three brands, they will be under cost pressure due to the external volatility reasons. In the meantime, we will still keep improving the vehicle gross margin across all three brands. At the moment, we cannot give you a specific margin outlook or assumption for each brand, but put that against a longer time spectrum. We always target to achieve 20 to 25% vehicle gross margin for the NIO brand, above 15% vehicle gross margin for the Onvo brand, and above 10% vehicle gross margin for the Firefly brand. That is our margin target for all three brands against a longer time spectrum, and it has also been our internal target.

Speaker #3: But in the meantime , we will still keep improving the vehicle gross margin across all three brands at the moment , we cannot give you a specific margin , outlook or assumptions for each brand , but put that against a longer time spectrum .

Speaker #3: We always target to achieve 20 to 2025% gross margin for the new brand above 15% vehicle gross margin for the brand , and above 10% vehicle gross margin for the Firefly brand .

Speaker #3: So that is our margin target for all three brands against a longer time spectrum. And it has also been our internal target.

Speaker #2: That the That we make the We make Xiaoliang the CPU To the Cushion

William Li: In addition to that, our management mindset has also made a switch since last year, where before it was purely sales volume driven. Now we are trying to find the optimal balance between sales volume, vehicle gross margin, and the overall business performance. This is also driven by our CBU mechanism. As for each vehicle model, we have established a dedicated vehicle strategy team that will be taking the overarching responsibilities for the vehicle's business performance, finding balance between the margin and also the volume of the product. That is a major change we have made since last year when we had the CBU in place. This is also reflected in our business performance improvement from Q4 to Q1 this year.

Speaker #3: And in addition to that our management mindset has also made a switch since last year . We before it was purely source volume driven .

Speaker #3: But now we are trying to find the optimal balance between source volume , vehicle gross margin , and the overall business performance . This is also driven by our CPU mechanism for each vehicle model , we have established a dedicated vehicle strategy team that will be taking the overarching responsibilities for the vehicles business performance .

Speaker #3: Finding balance between the margin and also the volume of the product—that is a major change we have made since last year, when we had the CPU in place.

Speaker #3: This is also reflected in our business performance improvement from Q4 to Q1 this year.

Speaker #2: Okay
