Speaker #7: 当我们因为这个不太会去对具体的这个每个月的销量去给那么细的一个指引,但是我们对于它在50万以上的这个行政SUV的市场,这个表现呢,是非常有信心的。那从一个纯电的这个市场的角度,毫无疑问它会这个改变这个整个这个50万以上的这个市场的SUV的一个竞争的格局。对它的销量我们是非常有信心的。
William Li: 当然我们因为不太会对具体的每个月的销量给那么细的一个指引,但是我们对于它在50万以上的行政SUV的市场表现,是非常有信心的。从一个沉淀的市场的角度,毫无疑问,它会改变整个50万以上的市场的SUV竞争的格局。对它的销量我们都非常有信心。
William Li: [Foreign language]
Speaker #5: Of course, for us, we seldom disclose the specific order momentum or order intake for the new models.

Speaker #5: So overall speaking, we are confident in its competitiveness.
Speaker #7: 另外我们很高兴看到ES9发布后,从4月9号我们产品技术发布后,它不仅是没有分流ES8的订单,反而是给ES8带来了非常正面的影响。ES9预售和开启试驾以来呢,我们整个的到店客流是增加了很多,很多以前对未来没有这个了解的用户,因为ES9到店了。那么这些用户在体验比较两款车以后,那有一些用户会认为ES8的尺寸和用车的场景更符合自己的需求。所以我们ES8近期的订单表现是非常好的。ES9亮相以后,ES8平均的周度订单是比前几周增长接近30%。5月11号ES9开启试驾后的一周,ES8的订单的这个环比是进一步增加了20%。

William Li: [Foreign language]
Speaker #5: And also, since the pre-launch of the ES9, we actually didn't see that the launch of the ES9 is diluting or cannibalizing the circuits or even the attention to the ES8.
William Li: Since the pre-launch of the ES9, we actually didn't see that the launch of the ES9 diluting or cannibalizing the focus or even the attention to the ES8. Instead, it is generating positive impact on the attention and the order intake of the ES8, especially after we had the pre-launch and also test drive started for the ES9. We have welcomed a lot of in store visits and traffic. Many of them maybe didn't know about the new brand or our product. After they were in the store by experiencing and comparing between the ES9 and the ES8, some of them find that the dimensions and also the use cases of the ES9 may be a better match for them.

Speaker #5: In that case, we have actually witnessed the increase in the order intake of the ES8 after the pre-launch of the ES9. One week after the ES9 launch, actually the order intake for the ES8 increased by 30%.
William Li: In that case, we have actually witnessed an increase in the order intake of the ES8 after the pre-launch of the ES9. One week after the ES9 launch, actually the order intake for the ES8 increased by 30%. Since the test drive started from 11 May, within one week, the week over week ES8 order intake increased by 30%.

Speaker #5: And starting since the test drive started from May 11th, within one week, the week-over-week ES8 order intake increased by 30%.
Speaker #7: 那5月份至今的这个20天的话呢,我们ES8的订单是去年10月份以来的新高。这个可以说ES8是跨越了这个新车效应的死亡谷,因为我们前期的存量订单交完了以后,我们新增的订单能够保证它仍然在一个非常高的这么一个销量的位置。当然这个前提这个是在ES9本身的订单非常强劲的情况下实现的。所以也能看出来我们这两款车的这种定位啊,它这个区隔还是非常成功的。ES9这个科技行政旗舰SUV,它核心是对标像宝马的X7啊、奔驰GLSS、GLS这样一些传统的燃油的行政SUV啊。那么ES8呢,它这个全场景的SUV的旗舰,它面向的场景是更加的丰富。那既能商务使用,也能够家庭出行。所以这两款车的定位啊,是非常互补的。它的价格呢,也有点的区隔。所以我们还是非常看非常欣喜的看到这两款车在各自的细分市场啊,都吸引了他们这个他们的这个目标的用户。

William Li: [Foreign language]
Speaker #5: And in the first 20 days of May, actually the order intake on the ES8 has created a new historic high since October, which is the ES8 launch last year.
William Li: In the first 20 days of May, actually the order intake on the ES8 has created a new history high since October, which is the ES8 launch last year. As we have been digesting the order backlog on the ES8, we have also maintained a pretty stable and strong order intake on the ES8 without compromising on the strong order intake for the ES9. By having this strong order performance for both models, we can see the positioning of these two products are quite distinguished or differentiated from each other. ES9 is more of a flagship executive SUV, while it is more competing with the conventional combustion engine executive flagship SUVs like BMW X7 or Mercedes-Benz GLS, where for the ES8 it is more of an all-round SUV, that is catering both business scenarios as well as family purposes. These two products are complementing each other, while price-wise they are well differentiated. We are happy to see that those products are well received in their respective segments.

Speaker #7: Hi, 我们在第一季度实现了18.8%的这个整车毛利率。跟同比和环比相比呢,都还是呃一个不错的这个成绩。当然这里面呢,主要是我们在一季度高毛利车型的占比还是非常高的,尤其是ES8。整个的占比超过了50%。那ES8的毛利率呢,还是维持在比较高的这个水平,在一季度也还是超过了20%。那第二个呢,就是我们在一季度材料成本上涨的因素带来的这个呃风险呢,还没有完全完全显现。因为我们还有一部分的这个材料的库存来抵消了这样的一个上涨的风险。当然我们呃从二季度和这个呃全年来看呢,其实从今年的我们我们我们呃这个我相信大家也都注意到,从呃年初开始的这样的一个大宗材料的涨价,其实带来的成本压力还是非常大的。那这里面包括内存的价格的上涨,以及这个呃电池的主要原材料,那碳酸锂、镍钴锰的价格的上涨,以及说我们整车会用到的比较多的这个铜和铝,其实都会有呃或多或少的这个上涨。呃综合来看呢,呃平均下来每一台车的这个成本的压力其实是超过了1万元。那呃呃当然从我们整个的呃公司来讲呢,我们还是呃目标希望能够把整车的综合的毛利呃呃维持在17%到18%。那这里面呢,呃啊好。
Stanley Yu Qu: 我们在第一季度实现了18.8%的总车毛利率,跟同比和环比相比都还是一个不错的成绩。当然这里面主要是我们在一季度高毛利车型的占比还是非常高的,尤其是ES8,整个的占比超过了50%,ES8的毛利率还是维持在比较高的水平,在一季度也还是超过了20%。第二个就是我们在一季度材料成本上涨的因素带来的风险还没有完全显现,因为我们还有一部分的材料的库存来抵消了这样的上涨的风险。当然我们从二季度和全年来看,我相信大家也都注意到,从年初开始的这样一个大宗材料的涨价,其实带来的成本压力还是非常大的。这里面包括内存的价格的上涨,以及电池的主要原材料碳酸锂、镍钴锰的价格的上涨,以及我们整车会用到的比较多的铜和铝,其实都会有或多或少的上涨。综合来看,平均下来每一台车的成本的压力其实超过了1万元。当然从我们整个的公司来讲,我们还是目标希望能够把整车的综合的毛利维持在17%到18%。那这里面呢——
Stanley Qu: [Foreign language]
Speaker #5: thank you for the question regarding your question on the gross margin in Q1. We have achieved the vehicle margin of 18.8%. Achieving quite good increments from both year over year as well as quarter over quarter.
William Li: Thank you for the question. Regarding your question on the gross margin, in Q1, we have achieved the vehicle margin of 18.8%, achieving quite good increments from both year over year as well as quarter over quarter. In Q1, the increase in the vehicle margin is mainly because of the higher contribution by the higher margin models, especially the ES8 contributing 50% of the margin, where ES8 itself has over 20% vehicle margin in Q1. Also in the meantime, although there are rising cost pressure because of the rising material costs, however, our advanced inventories on such parts and components have partially offset such pressure in Q1.

Speaker #5: And in Q1, the increase in the vehicle margins mainly because of the higher contribution by the higher margin models, especially the ES8 contributing 50% of the margin, where ES8 itself has over 20% vehicle margin in Q1.
Speaker #5: And also in the meantime, although there are rising cost pressure because of the rising material costs, however, our advanced inventories on such parts and components have partially offset such pressure in Q1.
Speaker #5: And in terms of the Q2 and the four years, you may have noticed that there is the rising material cost pressure facing the entire industry, including the memory chips, battery materials like the carbon lithium carbonate as well as NCM, and also copper and aluminum raw materials.
William Li: In terms of the Q2 and the full year, as you may have noticed that there is the rising material cost pressure facing by the entire industry, including the memory chips, battery materials like the lithium carbonate, as well as NCM, and also copper and aluminum raw materials. Starting Q2 and beyond, on average, the cost impact per unit is around more than CNY 10,000. For the full year, the company still aims to achieve a vehicle margin of around 17% to 18%.
[Translator]: In terms of the Q2 and the full year, as you may have noticed that there is the rising material cost pressure facing by the entire industry, including the memory chips, battery materials like the lithium carbonate, as well as NCM, and also copper and aluminum raw materials. Starting Q2 and beyond, on average, the cost impact per unit is around more than CNY 10,000. For the full year, the company still aims to achieve a vehicle margin of around 17% to 18%.
Speaker #5: So starting Q2 and beyond, on average, the cost impact per unit is around RMB 10,000, RMB 10,000 or more than RMB 10,000. But for the full year, the company still aims to achieve a vehicle margin of around 17 to 18%.
Speaker #7: 这里面呢,我们会有以下的这些工作去呃去做,一个呢就是呃刚刚威廉你介绍我们的这个高价格高毛利的车型ES8、ES9呃在整个的这个销售里面的这个占比还是会保持比较高的这个水平,那会带来一个比较高的这样的一个毛利的占比。第二个呢就是其他车型我们也会确保就是促销政策的稳定,我们不会呃简单的去做这个以价换量的这个工作。那第三个方面呢,我们也还是会持续的协同我们供应链的合作伙伴呃呃呃采取包括像工程优化这个效率提升、商务谈判等各种方式吧,来对冲这个刚刚讲的各种成本上涨带来的这个影响。所以总体来说呢,我们整个的Q2和全年的目标还是要希望能够实现17%到18%的呃综合的整车毛利率。
Stanley Yu Qu: 这里面我们会有以下的这些工作去做。一个就是刚刚William介绍我们的高价格、高毛利的车型ES8、ES9,在整个的销售里面的占比还是会保持比较高的水平,会带来一个比较高的这样的毛利的占比。第二个就是其他车型,我们也会确保促销政策的稳定,我们不会简单地去做以价换量的这个工作。第三个方面,我们也还是会持续地协同我们供应链的合作伙伴,采取包括像工程优化、效率提升、商务谈判等各种方式,来对冲刚刚讲的各种成本上涨带来的影响。所以总体来说,我们整个的Q2和全年的目标,还是要希望能够实现17%到18%的综合的整车毛利率。
Stanley Qu: [Foreign language]
Speaker #5: And to achieve a Q2 and a full-year vehicle margin of 17 to 18%, we will be taking several actions. The first is to further increase the product mix of products with higher prices and also higher margin contributions.
William Li: To achieve a Q2 and a full year vehicle margin of 17% to 18%, we will be taking these several actions. The first is to further increase the product mix of products with higher prices and also higher margin contributions like the ES8 and ES9. For other products with moderate margin, we will also maintain a stable pricing and also promotional policies. We will not compromise on the margin performance of such cars for the sake of volume contribution. Thirdly, we will also work closely with our supply chain partners to promote on the engineering improvement, efficiency improvement, as well as commercial negotiations to together mitigate the cost of pressure. With that, we will target for a Q2 and a full year vehicle margin of around 17% to 18%.

Speaker #5: The next question comes from Tim Sa with Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead.
Operator 2: The next question comes from Tim Hsiao with Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead.
Operator: The next question comes from Tim Hsiao with Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead.
Speaker #8: Hi, this is Tim Sa from Morgan Stanley. Thanks for taking my questions, and congratulations on another solid quarter. I have two questions. The first question is about the vehicle sales.
Tim Hsiao: Hi, this is Tim Hsiao from Morgan Stanley. Thanks for taking the questions and congratulations on another solid quarter. I have two questions. The first question is about the vehicle sales. Because we noticed that sales of the 8 and 9 series large SUV are expected to likely more than triple year-over-year this year, while the rest of the lineup is likely to see a roughly 20% year-over-year decline under our 40% to 50% full year volume guidance. Once the growth of the 8 and 9 series is fully unfolded and the group's total volume might approach like a 500,000 units target, how does NIO plan to reboost the growth of the subsequent models? For example, like a 5, 6, 7 series, which are likely to face greater competition in the market? That's my first question.

Speaker #8: while the rest of the lineup is likely to see a roughly 20% year over year decline under our 40 to 50% full year volume guidance.
Speaker #8: So once the growth of the eight and nine series is fully unfolded, and the group's total volume might approach like a 500,000 units target, how does NIO plan to reboost the growth of the subsequent models for example, like a five, six, seven series which are likely to face greater competition in the market?
Speaker #8: that's my first question.
Speaker #7: 谢谢 Tim. 对,今年我们的整个的增长大家也看到了,我们从这个新产品,特别是高价的这个新的产品,这个我们还是这个非全年的增长还是非常好的一个支持。啊,量的增长以及毛利的增长啊,我们都是非常有信心的。当然我们还有ES8的五座版,呃,像马上交付的ES9啊,那我们现在的ES8还是保持了非常这个稳健的这样的一个销量。那么呃,L90和L80我们相信在20到30万的这个市场也会继续保持它的一个领先的一个市场份额。那么呃,从明年开始呢,我们当然会进入到一个呃新的这样一个产品周期,就是我们这个从呃这个这个ET5啊,ET5T、ES6、EC6,后续我们当然都会进行这个迭代,基于我们最新的这个智能平台。那么呃,从安稳的角度来讲的话,我们也会有新的这个产品的计划。所以现在我们总体的策略呢,就是每年大体上会有3到5款的比较新的这样一个产品去推向市场啊。当然我们呢,并不会去啊追求这个绝对的数量,这个新车的这个新车型的数量,我们还是保证每一款车型在细分市场啊,都能够有一个领先的呃这样一个份额。
Stanley Yu Qu: 谢谢Tim。今年我们的整个的增长,大家也看到了,我们从新产品,特别是高价的新的产品,我们对于全年的增长还是非常好的一个支持。量的增长以及毛利的增长,我们都是非常有信心的。当然我们还有ES8的五座版,马上交付的ES9,我们现在的ES8还是保持了非常稳健的这样的一个销量。那么L90和L80,我们相信在20到30万的这个市场也会继续保持它的一个领先的一个市场份额。那么从明年开始,我们当然会进入到一个新的这样一个产品周期,就是我们从ET5、ET5T
William Li: [Foreign language]
William Li: ES6、EC6后续我们当然都会进行迭代,给予我们最新的智能平台。那么从ONVO的角度来讲的话,我们也会有新的产品的计划。所以现在我们总体的策略就是每年大体上会有三到五款比较新的产品去推向市场。当然我们并不会去追求绝对的新车型的数量,我们还是保证每一款车型在细分市场都能够有一个领先的份额。
William Li: [Foreign language]
Speaker #5: Thank you for the question. As you can see, the overall volume growth this year is mainly driven by the models with high price and also high margin.
William Li: Thank you for the question. As you can see, the overall volume growth this year is mainly driven by the models with high price and also high margin. They are playing an important role in supporting both our volume growth as well as our vehicle margin improvement. For the ES8, we will maintain its stable and strong market performance, while very soon we are going to start to deliver the ES9, and later we will also introduce the 5-seater of the ES8 as they were all playing such a role. For the ONVO brand, we have L90 and L80 continue to lead the market share and sales in the price segment between RMB 200,000 to 300,000. Also, starting next year, our entire product portfolio will enter into a new phase of development, where we are going to upgrade our ET5, ET5T, ES6, and EC6 also to the latest technology platform and digital architecture. Well, the ONVO brand next year will also have new products. In general, we are going to maintain a pace of around 7 to 5 new or relatively new products every year. Of course, with the launch of such new products, we don't pursue absolute increase in the volume of the cars. Instead, we would like to achieve a leading market share in each of their respective segments.

Speaker #5: And for the Armor brand, we have L90 and L80 continue to lead the market share and sales in the price segment between ¥200,000 to ¥300,000.
Speaker #5: So, and also, starting next year, our entire product portfolio will enter into a new phase of development, where we are going to upgrade our ET5, ET5T, ES6, and EC6 also to the latest technology platform and digital architecture.

Speaker #7: So我们相信现在的这个产品规划是能够呃支持公司在这个呃市场上的一个竞争力的。今年一到四月份,NIO现有的NIO公司现有的这些产品,我们在上海啊成功在上海的在所有汽车公司里面,我们在上海是呃销量是位居第一位。那么占整个上海的乘用车市场8%这样的一个份额。所以呃我们非常有信心现有的产品随着我们的渠道的进一步的覆盖,随着我们换电网络的进一步的扩展啊,随着这个三四线城市、四五线城市用户开始越来越接受纯电产品啊,我们现有的这个产品序列,包括接下来的这些产品,能够让公司在中国的乘用车市场获得一个显著的一个份额。

Stanley Yu Qu: Next, Tim.
Stanley Qu: Next, Tim.
Speaker #7: Thanks Chris.
Speaker #6: Thank you really. Thank you. my second question is about the pro and the profit and the OPEX. because NIO has posted two consecutive non-gap profitable quarters.
Tim Hsiao: Thank you, William. Thank you. My second question is about the profit and OPEX, because NIO has posted 2 consecutive non-GAAP profitable quarters. Do you anticipate maintaining the quarterly non-GAAP profit target throughout 2026? In the meantime, can current OPEX parameters, i.e., SG&A ratio below 10% and the quarterly R&D spending is at CNY 2 to 2.5 billion, be adequate to support robust business growth moving forward? When is the next R&D investment upcycle expected to begin? That's my second question. Thank you.
Tim Hsiao: Thank you, William. Thank you. My second question is about the profit and OPEX, because NIO has posted 2 consecutive non-GAAP profitable quarters. Do you anticipate maintaining the quarterly non-GAAP profit target throughout 2026?

When is the next R&D investment upcycle expected to begin? That's my second question. Thank you.
Speaker #6: so do you anticipate maintaining the quarterly non-gap profit target throughout 2026? in the meantime, again, the current OPEX parameters i.e., SGNA ratio below 10% and the quarterly R&D spendings that 2 to 2.5 billion, be adequate to support robust business growth moving forward?
Speaker #6: And when is the next R&D investment up cycle expected to begin? that's my second question. Thank you.
William Li: Tim,首先第一个,我们从目标上来讲,2026年我们还是维持全年non-GAAP运营利润的盈利的这样一个目标。所以具体到刚刚你讲的OpEx的一个指引上,我们先看研发费用,我们依然还是维持20到25亿这样一个季度研发费用,non-GAAP的季度研发费用的这样一个指引。当然我们觉得,这样的一个投入,实际上首先第一个能够确保我们在关键技术领域的这样的一个投入,让公司的包括像芯片、像很多底层的操作系统,这样一些方面的能力,能保持公司在核心技术上的竞争力。这样的一个投入也能够保证我们每年都会有相应竞争力的产品的投放,像刚刚William给大家介绍。另外,其实20到25亿,我们在提效方面做了很多的工作。我们从去年开始实施这样的一个CBU机制以后,其实我们是用了更少的钱来做了更多的事情。其实从总效的费用上来,我们觉得20亿其实是跟以前的30亿的成果。
William Li: [Foreign language]
Speaker #7: yes Tim. 首先第一个呢,我们呃从目标上来讲,2026年我们还是维持呃全年non-gap盈利的呃non-gap运营利润,对这个盈利的这样的一个目标。呃,所以具体到就呃刚刚呃你讲的这个OPEX的一个指引上,从呃我们先看这个呃研发费用,我们依然还是维持这个20到25亿这样的一个季度研发费用,non-gap的季度研发费用的这样的一个指引。呃,当然我们觉得呢,这个这样的一个投入呢,实际上是首先第一个能够确保我们在关键技术领域的这样的一个投入,让公司呢,包括像芯片啊,像很多底层的这样的一个操作系统啊,这样的一些方面的呃能力,然后能保持公司在核心技术上的竞争力。呃,这样的一个投入呢,也能够保证我们每年都会有呃相应有竞争力的这个产品的投放。呃,刚刚William也给大家介绍。呃,呃另外呢,就是呃其实20亿呢,也是20到25亿呢,我们在提效方面做了很多的工作。呃,我们从去年开始实施这样的一个CPU机制以后呢,其实我们是用了更少的钱来做了更多的事情。其实从总效的飞向上来,我们觉得20亿其实是跟以前的30亿的这个成果是30到30位是相当的。对,当然还有一个很重要的方面就是研发费用呢,我们觉得从技术路线上来讲,因为未来一直是坚持纯电的技术路线,我们没有这个增程,对吧,也没有混动,我们一直是坚持可充可换可升级的纯电路线。那与其他的这个友商相比呢,我们在这个技术路线上是比较聚焦的。那这样的话,在呃研发效率啊各方面都比较高,对吧?那别的别的友商在推出车型的时候,他如果两种能力型,这个能力型是,那这个投入肯定是比我们要高很多。
Stanley Yu Qu: 30 到 35。
Stanley Qu: 30 到 35。
William Li: 30 到 35 是相当的,对。
William Li: [Foreign language]
Stanley Yu Qu: 当然还有一个很重要的方面就是研发费用,我们觉得从技术路线上来讲,因为蔚来一直是坚持纯电的技术路线,我们没有增程,也没有混动,我们一直是坚持可充、可换、可升级的纯电路线。那与其他的友商相比,我们在技术路线上是比较聚焦的,这样的话,在研发效率各方面都比较高。那别的友商在推出车型的时候,他如果两种能源形式,这个投入肯定是比我们要高很多。
William Li: [Foreign language]
Speaker #5: Thank you for the question. For the full year 2026, our financial target is to achieve positive non-GAAP operating profits. In terms of the OPEX guidance for the R&D expenses, we target to maintain our non-GAAP R&D investment or expenses to be around $2 to $2.5 billion per quarter.
William Li: Thank you for the question. For the full year 2026, our financial target is due to achieve positive non-GAAP operating profit. In terms of the OpEx guidance for the R&D expenses, we target to maintain our non-GAAP R&D investment or expenses to be around 2 to 2.5 billion per quarter. For this level of spending, we believe that it will be enough to sustain and support our investments into the key technologies such as chips, operating systems, and etc., to make sure that we have strong competitiveness and also technical leadership. Secondly, such investment skill will also support the launch and the rollout of new models every year as introduced by William. In the meantime, as we keep the expenses flat, we are also putting efforts in improving the overall efficiency and utilization of such resources.

Speaker #5: And in the meantime, as we keep the expenses flat, we are also putting efforts in improving the overall efficiency and utilization of such resources.
Speaker #5: Last year, we rolled out the CBU mechanism, where under that mechanism, we are now using less money to yield more R&D results. as mentioned, the the productivity or the yield of 2 billion R&D investment as of today is equivalent to maybe the results of 3.5 billion R&D investment in the past years.
William Li: Last year we rolled out the CBU mechanism, where under that mechanism we are now using less money to yield more R&D results. As mentioned, the productivity or the yield of CNY 2 billion R&D investment as of today is equivalent to maybe the results of CNY 3.5 billion R&D investment in the past years. Also for the entire company, we've been staying with the battery electric vehicle roadmap, which can make us more focused than spreading our efforts for range extended vehicles or PHEV. In that case, we can be more efficient in making our investments, which is different from some of our peers, where they have to split their efforts for different powertrain centers.

Stanley Yu Qu: 关于SG&A,确实总体来说,我们还是希望能够达到10%销售收入这样的一个目标。但是从季度来说,确实会有一些flux,比如说在Q2,我们主要的今年的新车型的launch和marketing的activity其实都是在Q2,所以,在Q2的这个从绝对金额上来讲,尤其是selling的expense会比Q1有一个比较大的上涨。当然从Q3到Q4,因为我们的新产品上市的活动基本上都结束了,就比较少。所以Q3、Q4,可能从绝对金额上又会有一些下降,所以从季度来看会有一些这样的波动。
William Li: [Foreign language]
Speaker #7: SJ, 关于SJA,呃,呃,确实总体来说呢,我们还是希望能够达到这个10%销售收入这样的一个目标了。呃,但是从季度呃白季度来说呢,确实会有一些flux,比如说从呃在二季度呢,我们主要的今年的新车型的launch和marketing的activity其实都是在二季度。那所以呢,呃在二季度的这个从绝对金额上来讲,这个尤其是selling的呃expense会比一季度会呃有有一个比较比较呃呃呃大的这个上涨。当然从3到4季度呢,因为我们的新产品呢,这个上市的活动呢基本上都结束了,就比较少,所以呢三四季度呢可能从绝对金额上又会有一些下降。所以从季度白季度呢会有一些这样的一个波动。
Speaker #5: And regarding the SGN expenses in general, we hope that the SGNA as a percentage of the revenue is around 10%. But it can be different from quarter to quarter.
William Li: Regarding the SG&A expenses, in general, we hope that the SG&A as a percentage of the revenue is around 10%, but it can be different from quarter to quarter. For example, in Q2, we have a quite intensive product launch and delivery cycle where the corresponding marketing and the launch expenses are actually higher than the previous quarter. The absolute amount in Q2 had a surge, especially the selling expenses in Q2 surged a lot from the Q1 baseline. In Q3 and Q4, as most of the new products will be already in the market by then the absolute amount in the H2 will also be relatively lower. There will be also differences from quarter to quarter.

The absolute amount in Q2 had a surge, especially the selling expenses in Q2 surged a lot from the Q1 baseline. In Q3 and Q4, as most of the new products will be already in the market by then the absolute amount in the H2 will also be relatively lower. There will be also differences from quarter to quarter.
Speaker #5: For example, in Q2 we have a quite intensive product launch and the recycle where the corresponding marketing and the launch expenses are actually higher than the previous quarter.
Speaker #5: So the absolute absolute amount in Q2 had a surge, especially the selling expenses in Q2 surged a lot from the Q1 baseline. But in Q3 and Q4, as most of the new products will be already in the market by then, then the absolute amount in the second half will also be relatively lowered.
Speaker #5: So there will be also differences from quarter to quarter.
Speaker #7: Okay, thank you Tim.
Stanley Yu Qu: Thank you.
Stanley Qu: Thank you.
Tim Hsiao: Thank you, Stanley. Thank you. Thank you, William. Thank you.
Tim Hsiao: Thank you, Stanley. Thank you. Thank you, William. Thank you.
Speaker #6: Thank you, Stanley. Thank you. Thank you, William. Thank you.
Operator 2: The next question comes from Paul Gong with UBS. Please go ahead.
Operator: The next question comes from Paul Gong with UBS. Please go ahead.
Speaker #5: The next question comes from Paul Gong with UBS. Please go ahead.
Speaker #2: Thanks. Thanks, everyone. Thanks for taking my questions and congrats on this quarter. I have two questions. The first question is regarding the competition in the Nio series or largest SUV segment.
Paul Gong: Thanks everyone. Thanks for taking my questions and congrats on this quarter. I have 2 questions. The first question is regarding the competition in the main series or large SUV segment. I think the success of the ES6 since late last year has attracted competitors launching the large SUV as we see in this Beijing Auto Show. Quite a few of them are even priced with very aggressive pricing. How do you think about the competition in this segment? What is the mode for NIO? How can NIO stay ahead in this segment as a sales leader or champion in this high-end large SUV segment? That is my first question.

How can NIO stay ahead in this segment as a sales leader or champion in this high-end large SUV segment? That is my first question.
Speaker #2: I think the success of the ES8 since late last year has attracted competitors, launching the largest UV as we see in this Beijing Auto Show.
Speaker #2: And quite of them are even price with, very, aggressive, pricing. how do you think about the competition in this segment and, what is, moat for NIO and, how can NIO stay ahead, in this segment, as they, sells, lead champion, in this, high and not just UV, segment?
Speaker #2: That is my first question.
Stanley Yu Qu: 好,谢谢Paul。确实all new ES8是创造了非常多的纪录,我们用215天就完成了10万台的交付,是40万以上中国品牌单款车型最快的交付纪录。而且我们已经连续五个月在40万以上的这个车型和大型的SUV的市场里面,获得了销量的冠军,是不分能源型的销量的冠军。确实它是非常成功的,40万以上的大三排SUV里面,我们大概占了一半的份额,是49.7%。那我想这个成功,是体现了我们未来这11年持续进行体系能力建设的这样的一个优势,现在是通过all new ES8这个产品全面反映出来。
William Li: [Foreign language]
Speaker #7: thank you Paul. 确实这个ES8的话呢,是创造了非常多的记录啊,这个呃我们用215天就完成了10万台的交付,是40万以上中国品牌单款车型最快的交付记录。而且我们已经连续五个月在40万以上的这个车型和大型的SUV的市场里面,我们是获得了销量的冠军。那么是不分能源形式的销量的冠军。那么呃确确实实它是非常成功的,40万以上的大三排SUV里面,那有一半我们大概占了一半的份额,就49.7%。那我想这个成功呢,是体现了我们未来这个11年持续进行体系能力建设的这样的一个优势啊,现在是全面的通过ES8这个产品反映出来。
Speaker #5: 嗯, thank you for the question. It's true that the only ES8 has created many records. It has achieved 100,000 delivery milestone in just 215 days, which is the fastest among all the cars priced above 400,000 RMB in China.
William Li: Thank you for the question. It's true that the ONVO L90 has created many records. It has achieved 100,000 delivery milestone in just 215 days, which is the fastest among all the cars priced above RMB 400,000 in China. For 5 consecutive months, it has been the sales champion in the price segment above RMB 400,000 as well as in the large SUV segment regardless of the powertrain types. Looking at the sales of the large three-row SUV priced above RMB 400,000, it has achieved a 49.7% market share. The reason for its success is because it itself is the embodiment of our 11 years of systematic capability and innovation development.

Speaker #5: And for five consecutive months, it has been the sales champion in the price segment above, 400,000 RMB as well as, in the large SUV segment, regardless of the power train types.
Speaker #5: And looking at the sales of the large three-row SUV priced above 400,000 RMB, yes, it has achieved 49.7% market share. The reason for its success is because itself is an embodiment of our 11 years of systematic capability and innovation development.
Speaker #7: 那么这个体系的话,当然就是包括我们12全站的这样一个技术的研发的能力,还有我们创新供应链,因为我们这里面为什么要强调创新供应链,因为我们很多的技术都是行业里面第一个使用的。那么怎么样去管理这个创新供应链,这个其实是非常大的一个这个挑战啊,还有包括我们的先进制造,全民生命周期的质量,我们在这个第三方的这样一些质量的排名里面一直都是数一数二的。还有我们的这个充换电网络智慧能源的充换电网络,还有很重要一点,特别是对于高端用户来说,我们覆盖全国的这样一个全场景的用车服务体系。所以这六个体系的创新支撑了我们NIO品牌现在在高端市场的这样一个呃这个这个呃这样的一个领先的这样一个市场优势。
William Li: 那么这个体系的话,当然就是包括我们全栈的这样一个技术的研发的能力,还有我们创新供应链,因为我们这里面为什么要强调创新供应链,因为我们很多的技术都是行业里面第一个使用的,那么怎么样去管理这个创新供应链,这个其实是非常大的一个挑战。还有包括我们的先进制造、产品生命周期的质量,我们在这个第三方的这样一些质量的排名里面,一直都是数一数二的。还有我们的充换电网络,即社会能源的充换电网络。还有很重要一点,特别是对于高端用户来说,我们覆盖全国的这样一个全场景的用车服务体系。所以这六个体系的创新支撑了我们NIO品牌现在在高端市场的这样一个领先的这样一个市场优势。
William Li: [Foreign language]
Speaker #5: In terms of such systemic capabilities and innovation, it includes our in-house capabilities for full-stack technologies, as well as our capabilities for the innovative supply chain.
William Li: In terms of such systemic capabilities and innovation, it includes our in-house capabilities for top full-stack technologies, as well as our capabilities for the innovative supply chain. The reason I would like to highlight the innovative supply chain is that on the ES9 we have applied a lot of industry-first technologies, where we need to work hardly with our supply chain partners to mass produce and make these advanced technologies happen. We also have leading capabilities for the advanced manufacturing lifecycle quality, which is well recognized by many authorities in the automotive industry. We also have our smart power systems, our charging and swapping network, and also we have established a nationwide premium and holistic car user scenarios and also holistic experience for our users. With these six system capabilities established in the past 11 years, we now are establishing ourselves as a premium brand and also is leading in the premium segment.

Speaker #7: 呃,除了这些体系能力以外,我觉得有两点也是呃最近我们从市场上的这样一个用户的这样个选择,我们这样个原因里面的一个发现,就是第一个就是呃我们认为现在确确实实中国的智能电动汽车、新能源汽车的这个竞争啊,就从这个品牌的一个混沌期开始进入到了一个品牌的澄清期。那么呃我们还是非常高兴看到,就是未来作为一个高端品牌,已经被用户所认可和接受啊,用户其实已经有一个说BBA的下一辆选未来,越来越多的人有这样一个共识。那么我们一季度未来品牌的平均成交价是来到了39万,是超过宝马5万元,超过了奥迪,差不多是奥迪的1.5倍。那么我觉得这个是呃非常呃好的一个例子。那么我在上海在长三角,我们在一线城市,我们都已经超过了这个传统的这样一些豪华品牌的市场份额,就是他们的油车跟他们的油车比的话,也超过了这个市场份额。呃,那我觉得这些都是说明未来已经成比较初步成功的建立了一个在用户中的这样一个高端的品牌的这样的一个心智。
William Li: 除了这些体系能力以外,我觉得有两点也是最近我们从市场上的这样一个用户的选择,我们原因里面的一个发现,就是第一个,我们认为现在确实中国的智能电动汽车、新能源汽车的竞争,从品牌的一个混沌期开始进入到了一个品牌的澄清期。那么我们还是非常高兴看到,蔚来作为一个高端品牌,已经被用户所认可和接受。用户其实已经有一个说BBA的下一辆选蔚来,越来越多的人有这样一个共识。那么我们一季度蔚来品牌的平均成交价来到了39万,是超过宝马5万元,超过了奥迪,差不多是奥迪的1.5倍。我觉得这个是非常好的一个例子。那么在上海、在长三角,我们在一线城市,我们都已经超过了传统的这样一些豪华品牌的市场份额,跟他们的油车比的话,也超过了这个市场份额。我觉得这些都说明蔚来已经比较初步成功地建立了一个在用户中的高端的品牌的这样一个心智。
William Li: [Foreign language]
Speaker #5: And in addition to this systemic capabilities we also have spotted two findings among NIO users who have chosen our products. The first is that the competition landscape of China's new energy vehicle market is now transitioning from a chaotic brand competition with a more clarified competition where the clarity has been introduced to the overall brand and competition landscape for the new energy vehicle market in China, where among all these competitors, NIO is widely recognized as a premium brand and also well accepted by the public as a premium brand.
William Li: In addition to these systemic capabilities, we also have spotted two findings among NIO users who have chosen our products. The first is that the competition landscape of China's new energy vehicle market is now transitioning from a chaotic brand competition with a more clarified competition, where the clarity has been introduced to the overall brand and competition landscape for the new energy vehicle market in China, where among all these competitors, NIO is widely recognized as a premium brand and also well accepted by the public as a premium brand. Among many users, they have already established a consensus where NIO will be the next car after Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi. In Q1, the NIO brand has an average selling price of 390,000 RMB. That is around 50,000 RMB higher than that of BMW and 50% higher than that of Audi. These are lively examples. In cities like Shanghai or around the Yangtze River Delta area or in the first tier cities in China, actually our market share has already surpassed the market share of the ICE models from all those traditional luxury brands. In general, in the Chinese market, NIO has already established or is starting to establish itself as a well-recognized premium brand.

Speaker #5: Among many users, they have already established a consensus where NIO will be the next car after Mercedes, BMW, and Audi. And in Q1, the NIO brand has averaged selling price of 390,000 RMB.
Speaker #5: That is around 50,000 RMB higher than that of BMW and 50% higher than that of Audi. So these are lively examples. And in cities like Shanghai, around the Yangtze River Delta area, in the first-tier cities in China, actually our market share has already surpassed the market share of the ICE models from all those traditional luxury brands.
Speaker #5: So, in general, in the Chinese market, NIO has already established, or is starting to establish, itself as a well-recognized premium brand.
Speaker #7: 那呃包括乐道,乐道的平均售价也是24万人民币啊。那么其实也比很多二线豪华品牌的平均单价还要高。那么呃实际上它已经成为很多家庭用户的一个高品质的这样一个选择。那么Firefly的话呢,在高端小车市场,那么也是成功的获得了这个超过2/3的这样一个市场份额。那么它比中国一般的别人的小车,别的品牌的小车大概它的平均的价格要高50%左右啊。当然它的品质,它的安全,它的设计是给用户提供了很好的这样的一些用户价值。所以总的来说,NIO还是我们坚持这样的一些高端的定位,不管是在未来品牌还是乐道品牌还是Firefly这个品牌,都是让用户能够这个能够这个已经逐步的形成用户的一个共识。
William Li: 包括乐道,乐道的平均售价也是24万人民币,其实也比很多二线豪华品牌的平均单价还要高。事实上它已经成为很多家庭用户的一个高品质的这样一个选择。那么Firefly的话,在高端小车市场也是成功地获得了超过三分之二的这样一个市场份额。它比中国别的品牌的小车,大概平均的价格要高50%左右。当然它的品质、安全、设计是给用户提供了很好的这样一些用户价值。所以总的来说,NIO还是坚持这样一些高端的定位,不管是在蔚来品牌,还是乐道品牌,还是Firefly这个品牌,都是已经逐步地形成了用户的一个共识。
William Li: [Foreign language]
Speaker #5: And for the OMO brand, its average selling price is around 240,000 RMB, which is also comparable with many tier two luxury brands. And now OMO is also the go-to option for many families pursuing high quality and also premium car usage experience.
William Li: For the ONVO brand, its average selling price is around RMB 240,000, which is also comparable with many tier 2 luxury brands. Now ONVO is also the go-to option for many families pursuing high quality and also premium car usage experience. For Firefly, it has achieved 2/3 of the market share in the high-end small car market. Its average selling price is around 50% higher than other small car competitors. In terms of its design, safety, and also build quality, it is providing our users with sufficient value and also creating sufficient user value for them. For the entire company, be it the NIO brand, or ONVO brand, or the Firefly brand, we are positioning ourselves as premium in general. This is also a consensus among the users.

Speaker #5: And for Firefly, it has achieved two-thirds of the market share in the high-end small car market. Its average selling price is around 50% higher than other small car competitors.
Speaker #5: but in terms of its design, safety, and also build quality, it is providing our users with sufficient value and also creating sufficient user value for them.
Speaker #5: So for the entire company, be it the NIO brand or the OMO brand or the Firefly brand, we are positioning ourselves as premium in general.
Speaker #5: And this is also a consensus among the users.
Speaker #7: 第二点就是我们未来乐道、银虎城三个品牌一直都坚持的这个原创设计,还有长期主义的这样一些呃,还有包括我们的公司的一些这个企业的使命呢,这样的一些价值观确实跟我们的目标用户群有很好的这样一个呃精神的共鸣啊。那么我觉得这也是很多用户他选择车的时候,除了看这些功能和配置以外,还是很多用户也在乎的地方。所以我们这种呃情感体验啊,包括我们的社区啊,这样带来的一些情感体验,也成为我们的一个竞争优势。这个也支撑了我们并不需要简单的去比价格怎么样去定价激进,因为在今天这个成本压力这么大的情况下,这个呃过低的定价其实并不带来这个规模优势。这个是因为今天很多的这个成本是呃是规模不经济的,就可能这个比如说内存,比如说电池的材料,比如说铜啊铝这些大宗的材料,大宗商品,它是规模不经济的。所以其实你单纯的简单的追求量并不能带来毛利的显著的改善。所以我们其实在这一点上我们还是非常坚持,就是品牌的定位和用户的情感价值的情感体验的创造。
William Li: 第二点就是我们蔚来、乐道、萤火虫三个品牌一直都坚持的这个原创设计,还有长期主义的这样一些,包括我们的公司的一些企业的使命,这样的一些价值观,确实跟我们的目标用户群有很好的这样一个精神的共鸣。我觉得这也是很多用户他选择车的时候,除了看这些功能和配置以外,很多用户也在乎的地方。所以我们这种情感体验,包括我们的社区,这样带来的一些情感体验也成为我们的一个竞争优势,这个也支撑了我们并不需要简单地去比价格,怎么样去定价激进。因为在今天这个成本压力这么大的情况下,过低的定价其实并不带来规模优势。因为今天很多的成本是规模不经济的,就比如说内饰,比如说电池的材料,比如说铜、铝这些大宗的材料、大宗商品,它是规模不经济的,所以其实你单纯地、简单地追求量,并不能带来毛利的显著的改善。所以我们在这一点上还是非常坚持品牌的定位和用户的情感价值、情感体验的创造。
William Li: [Foreign language]
Speaker #5: And also in addition for the NIO, OMO, and the Firefly brand, we have been insisting on the original design. We have been making long-term dedication and a commitment to our products.
William Li: Also, in addition, for the NIO, ONVO, and the Firefly brand, we have been insisting on the original design. We have been making long term dedication and a commitment to our products. We also have the corporate missions and values where our users find themselves can really identify with and resonate with all this mindset and mentality. Many users actually pursue beyond simple functions or configurations. They are more seeking for the emotion, connection, and resonance. Plus, we also have the community to create them such emotion experience. When it comes to competition, such emotion touchpoints can really create us a unique competitive edge where we don't need to be overaggressive with the prices. Not to mention that when the entire industry is under heavy cost pressure, a low price point may not generate you scale effect or economies of scale.

Speaker #5: Not to mention that when the entire industry is under heavy cost pressure, a low price point may not generate you scale effect or economies of scale in that case, a low price may not necessarily translates into an advantage.
William Li: In that case, a low price may not necessarily translate into an advantage, especially for the rising raw material costs on the memory chips, batteries, copper, aluminum. There is no economy of scales for such components, which means that a higher volume does not translate into a good margin performance of the car. In that case, for us, we will insist on our premium brand positioning and insist on providing our users good emotion experience.

Paul Gong: Thanks, well understood. My second question is regarding the potential indirect price raise under the challenge of the raw material cost inflation. Just now, Stanley mentioned cost inflates by more than CNY 10,000. I think it is not only your challenge, but it is an even bigger challenge for your competitors who price their products at a cheaper price level. Under this competition and the cost inflation challenge, do you think there is any opportunity to cut some of the incentives and indirectly raise a little bit of pricing for the industry and for yourself?
Paul Gong: Thanks, well understood. My second question is regarding the potential indirect price raise under the challenge of the raw material cost inflation. Just now, Stanley mentioned cost inflates by more than CNY 10,000. I think it is not only your challenge, but it is an even bigger challenge for your competitors who price their products at a cheaper price level. Under this competition and the cost inflation challenge, do you think there is any opportunity to cut some of the incentives and indirectly raise a little bit of pricing for the industry and for yourself?
Speaker #2: thanks and well understood. my second question is regarding the potential indirect price raise under the challenge of the raw material cost inflation. just now Stanley mentioned the cost inflates by about 10,000 or more than 10,000.
Speaker #2: I think it's not only your challenge, but it's even a bigger challenge for your competitors who price their products at a cheaper price level.
Speaker #2: under this competition and the cost inflation challenge, do you think there is any opportunity to cut some of the incentives and the indirect raise a little bit of pricing for the industry and for yourself?
Speaker #7: sure. So今年整个原材料涨价、芯片、内存,特别是内存芯片的涨价,对整个行业呃还是非常大的一个压力啊。前面Stanley也讲到了,我们其实每一辆车平均下来有1万以上的涨价。当然我们一方面保持价格的稳定,因为方面的话,我们确确实实这个也在一些折扣方面也是做了很多的,收了很多的折扣啊。那我想对于整个行业来说,呃,可能都会面临同样的一些压力。但每家公司的竞争策略可能会有些不一样。前面我也讲到了,我们总体来说是保持价格稳定,保持这个呃产品服务的一个综合的竞争力。那我们可能不会把量作为最主要的这样一个这个经营的这样的一个策略。我们会保持一个合理的量的增长,但我们更看重这个毛利和这个呃EBIT的总体的这样的一个经营的目标。所以我们会balance,但是确实每家的这个经营理念会有一些区别啊。但我们是这个呃会坚持我们自己的一个这个这个这样的一个呃应对材料涨价这样的一些方法啊。但我们的经营的这样的一些这个模式。
William Li: 确实,今年整个原材料涨价,芯片短缺,特别是短缺芯片的涨价,对整个行业还是非常大的一个压力。前面Stanley也讲到了,我们其实每一辆车平均下来有1万以上的一个涨价。我们一方面保持价格的稳定,另外一方面的话,我们确确实实也在一些折扣方面收了很多的折扣。那我想对于整个行业来说,可能都会面临同样的一些压力,每家公司的竞争策略可能会有些不一样。前面我也讲到了,我们总体来说是保持价格稳定,保持产品服务的一个综合的竞争力。我们可能不会把量作为最主要的经营的这样一个特点,我们会保持一个合理的量的增长,但我们更看重毛利和EBIT总体的这样一个经营目标。所以我们会balance。但是确实每家的经营理念会有一些区别,但我们会坚持我们自己的这样一个应对材料涨价的方法,我们经营的这样一个模式。
William Li: [Foreign language]
Speaker #5: 嗯, thank you for the question. It's true that the entire industry is facing the cost of pressure, mainly driven by the raw material costs as well as the prices of the semiconductors, especially the memory chips.
William Li: Thank you for the question. It's true that the entire industry is facing the cost pressure, mainly driven by the raw material costs as well as the prices of the semiconductors, especially the memory chips. As mentioned by Stanley, the cost impact is over RMB 10,000 per car for our company. Our overall strategy is still to stabilize our prices, while in the meantime, we are also dialing back on some discounts and promotions. Facing the same pressure, different companies may have different coping mechanisms. For us, it's about stabilizing the prices while maintaining and improving our overall competitiveness on the products and the services, than just sacrificing on the margin for the sake of the volume. Our strategy is to maintain a reasonable volume increase while keep improving our margin and the EBIT performance, as those are our key business targets.

Speaker #5: As mentioned by Stanley, the cost impact is over RMB 10,000 per car for our company. But our overall strategy is still to stabilize our prices.
Speaker #5: Well, in the meantime, we are also doubling back on some discounts and promotions. facing the same pressure, different companies may have different coping mechanisms.
Speaker #5: And for us, it's about stabilizing the prices while maintaining and improving our overall competitiveness on the products and the services. Then just sacrificing on the margin for the sake is to maintain a reasonable volume increase while keep improving our margin and the EBIT performance as those are our key business targets.
Speaker #5: So overall speaking, different companies have different coping mechanisms and strategies. And for us, we will be insisting on our philosophy and to mitigate the impact.
William Li: Overall speaking, different companies have different coping mechanism and strategies. For us, we will be insisting on our philosophy and to mitigate the impact.
[Translator]: Overall speaking, different companies have different coping mechanism and strategies. For us, we will be insisting on our philosophy and to mitigate the impact.
Speaker #7: But供应链方面,我们也呃启动了一些新的从去年开始,我们已经启动了一些新的这样一些合作模式。我们叫透明供应链和首选优选的这样一个合作模式。其实就是和我们供应链的partner一起去找出这种没有给用户创造价值的这样一些呃这样的一些这个这个成本吧。就是我们去一起去这个降低这样的一些不创造价值的这样一些成本啊,还有一些包括一些流程啊。那么我们认为这里面的空间也是非常大的啊。在这中间去发掘出来5%到10%的这样的一个啊没有创造用户价值的这样一些成本空间啊,也是完全有机会的。所以总的来说,我们今年就是通过精细化的运营和合作伙伴一起啊,这个去降低整个的这种这个成本啊。我们认为这个应该是可以对冲这个材料成本上涨的这样的一个啊带来的这样一个毛利的升息。
William Li: 从去年开始,我们也启动了一些新的合作模式,我们叫透明供应链和首选优选的这样一个合作模式。其实就是和我们供应链的partner一起去找出这种没有给用户创造价值的这样一些成本。我们一起去降低这样一些不创造价值的成本,还有包括一些流程。那么我们认为这里面的空间也是非常大的,在这中间去发掘出来5%到10%的这样一个没有创造用户价值的成本空间,也是完全有机会的。所以总的来说,我们今年就是通过精细化的运营,和合作伙伴一起去降低整个的成本。我们认为这个应该是可以对冲材料成本上涨带来的这样一个毛利上升。
William Li: [Foreign language]
Speaker #5: And in the meantime, on the supply chain, since last year we've been promoting some new models working with our partners one is transparent supply chain and another is a mechanism or a principle called primary and preferred partners.
William Li: In the meantime, on the supply chain, since last year, we've been promoting some new models, working with our partners. One is transparent supply chain, and another is a mechanism or a principle called primary and preferred partners. In general, we work closely with our partners to identify costs and processes that are not creating user value, and we work with them to lower such costs or optimize such processes. In general, we believe that on the supply side, there should be around 5% to 10% opportunities driven by such optimization. For this year on the supply chain, we will be focusing on doing meticulous operations and management together with our partners to identify opportunities that can offset or mitigate the impact on the rising raw material costs.
[Translator]: In the meantime, on the supply chain, since last year, we've been promoting some new models, working with our partners. One is transparent supply chain, and another is a mechanism or a principle called primary and preferred partners. In general, we work closely with our partners to identify costs and processes that are not creating user value, and we work with them to lower such costs or optimize such processes. In general, we believe that on the supply side, there should be around 5% to 10% opportunities driven by such optimization.

Nick Lai: Okay. Thank you, William Li, and management team. Thank you for taking my question. This is Nick from J.P. Morgan. Two simple questions. The first question is, can you give us a quick recap and quick update of our ADAS strategy? You mentioned earlier at the call that our own in-house chips and this simply has started to be put in our car select model for now. I wonder how fast will our in-house chip be deployed to the rest of the model, and how this ADAS strategy is going to make our product much more competitive compared with our competitors? At the same time, I'm aware that our in-house chip subsidiary has raised RMB 2 billion through fundraising in the first quarter. How would that help our financing and R&D? Thank you. That's the first question.

For NIO's in-house developed smart driving chip, NX9031, it is the world's first automotive-grade chip of a 5 nanometer process, it comes with the industry-leading capabilities in inference, data bandwidth, ISP performance, as well as the interchip communications. It was first being mass produced on the new ET9 in last March. To date, we have already shipped more than 250,000 pieces of these chips to our products. The chip solution itself is already pretty mature. Earlier, we have also introduced this chip to the ONVO NIO product starting with L90S. By introducing this to the ONVO brand, we can also merge the autonomous driving or ADAS software baseline, improving the overall R&D efficiency, as well as enhance their data closed loop capabilities.

Speaker #5: And right now for the ANVO brand, the major challenge is still because of its overall brand awareness since after all ANVO has just started its delivery for around the 20 months.
William Li: Right now for the ONVO brand, the major challenge is still because of its overall brand awareness. Since after all, ONVO has just started its delivery for around 20 months. We've also done a study on the ONVO's awareness. Its current awareness is basically on par with the awareness of the NIO brand in the year of 2020. To raise its brand awareness, we are also taking different approaches, so that more people will be able to know about the brand. For example, we have collaborated and invited some celebrities to promote our products and brand, where many of the celebrities have good reach among the target users of ONVO. We are also asking our frontline colleagues and teams to really go into the fields, to go door-to-door to promote our products and invite users for the test drives.

Speaker #5: It takes a lot of effort, but it is also taking effect. So, overall speaking, it takes time to really establish and build the brand awareness on the ANVO.
Jing Chong: It takes a lot of effort, it is also taking effect. Overall speaking, it takes time to really establish and build the brand awareness on the ONVO. The good thing is that once the public or the users know about the brand, we have a pretty efficient conversion from knowing about the brand all the way to the order placement. Oh, okay. Thank you. Thank you, Bill. My second question is regarding to the other sales. We have seen that the gross profit margin of other sales has a significant improvement in Q1 to above 20%, which I think is a historical high. Could you quantify the main drivers behind this margin growth? Also, is there any one-off effect and also provide us maybe some outlook on the trend this year?

With that, we have a very strong user stickiness and also a strong willingness to pay for these premium services.

Speaker #7: 对,就是呃,换电我们现在的话,高峰期的话呢,大概平均一个档可以到四十,四十五次左右吧,高峰的时候,单档每天啊,average单档的时候,像节假日的时候,但平日要少一些。现在平日大概三十,三十多次。那么我们其实并不会,短期内我们啊,还是会把网络的布局做成高的优先级。所以今年我们全年还是会部署超过一千座换电站。那么呃,我们的五代站呃,在不远的,在三季度就开始大批量的开始部署。呃,从方向的角度来讲的话呢,我们呃,换电站的这个盈利能力啊,这个经营状况肯定是在持续在改善,但是短期内我们还是会保持一个超前的提前的投入啊,短期内盈利还不是我们的主要目标。那另外我们还是也强调一下我们包括换电站在在内的服务与社区收入是已经实现了盈利,所以总体上来讲呢,我们呃,是有足够的这个这个资源去支持换电网络的建设。

William Li: Thank you for the question. For our power swap stations at its peak, mainly during the holidays or busy hours, on average, each station can deliver around 45 swaps per day. On the average days, it's around 30 swaps per day. For the short term, our focus will still be on rolling out and expanding our power swap network. This year our target is to build a total of more than 1,000 power swap stations. Especially starting Q3, we will be able to roll out our fifth-generation power swap station at the scale. In the meantime, we are continuously improving the operational efficiency of our swap stations. For the short term, we will still need to make upfront investment and early deployment of stations. For the short term, the profitability of the power swap network is not our primary focus. I'd like to mention that for the services and community-related businesses, basically other self, it has already achieved profit. The power swap business is also included in that part of the profit, which means that we will have resources to sustain the continuous expansion of our swap station network.

Speaker #5: in the meantime, we are continuously improving the operational efficiency of our swap stations. But for the short term, we will still need to make upfront investment and early deployment of stations.
