CEO and CFO Comments

 

Mr. Xiang Li, chairman and chief executive officer of Li Auto, commented, “Our BEV portfolio gained strong momentum during the third quarter, demonstrating our top-tier product-definition capabilities and solid product strength. Orders for Li i8 and Li i6 have exceeded 100,000 in aggregate. On the AI front, our VLA Driver large model, empowered by world model and reinforcement learning, has achieved industry-leading user adoption with monthly usage rate reaching 91% in October. With our user-centric product philosophy and robust R&D capabilities, we are confident in achieving our long-term vision and strategic objectives.”

We have been proactively working with our supply chain partners to fulfill the demand of our users for Li i8 and Li i6. Excluding estimated Li MEGA recall costs, our gross margin came in at 20.4%, demonstrating our continued operational resilience.

Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2025

 

Revenues

 

·Total revenues were RMB27.4 billion (US$3.8 billion) in the third quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 36.2% from RMB42.9 billion in the third quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 9.5% from RMB30.2 billion in the second quarter of 2025.

 

·Vehicle sales were RMB25.9 billion (US$3.6 billion) in the third quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 37.4% from RMB41.3 billion in the third quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 10.4% from RMB28.9 billion in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in revenue from vehicle sales over the third quarter of 2024 was primarily attributable to the decrease in vehicle deliveries. The decrease in revenue from vehicle sales over the second quarter of 2025 was primarily attributable to the decrease in vehicle deliveries, partially offset by higher average selling price due to different product mix.

 

·Other sales and services were RMB1.5 billion (US$210.4 million) in the third quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 3.4% from RMB1.6 billion in the third quarter of 2024 and an increase of 10.1% from RMB1.4 billion in the second quarter of 2025. The revenue from other sales and services remained relatively stable over the third quarter of 2024 and the second quarter of 2025.

 

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin

 

·Cost of sales was RMB22.9 billion (US$3.2 billion) in the third quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 32.0% from RMB33.6 billion in the third quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 5.3% from RMB24.2 billion in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in cost of sales over the third quarter of 2024 was primarily attributable to the decrease in vehicle deliveries. The decrease in cost of sales over the second quarter of 2025 was primarily attributable to the decrease in vehicle deliveries, partially offset by higher average cost of sales due to different product mix and the estimated costs related to the recall of Li MEGA in the third quarter of 2025.

 

·Gross profit was RMB4.5 billion (US$627.8 million) in the third quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 51.6% from RMB9.2 billion in the third quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 26.3% from RMB6.1 billion in the second quarter of 2025.

 

·Vehicle margin was 15.5% in the third quarter of 2025, compared with 20.9% in the third quarter of 2024 and 19.4% in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in vehicle margin over the third quarter of 2024 was mainly attributable to the estimated costs related to the recall of Li MEGA in the third quarter of 2025 and higher manufacturing cost per unit as a result of decreased production volume. The decrease in vehicle margin over the second quarter of 2025 was mainly attributable to the estimated costs related to the recall of Li MEGA in the third quarter of 2025. Excluding the impact of estimated costs related to the recall of Li MEGA, vehicle margin would have been 19.8% in the third quarter of 2025.

 

·Gross margin was 16.3% in the third quarter of 2025, compared with 21.5% in the third quarter of 2024 and 20.1% in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in gross margin over the third quarter of 2024 and second quarter of 2025 was mainly due to the decrease in vehicle margin. Excluding the impact of estimated costs related to the recall of Li MEGA, gross margin would have been 20.4% in the third quarter of 2025.

 

Operating Expenses

 

·Operating expenses were RMB5.6 billion (US$793.1 million) in the third quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 2.5% from RMB5.8 billion in the third quarter of 2024 and an increase of 7.8% from RMB5.2 billion in the second quarter of 2025.

 

·Research and development expenses were RMB3.0 billion (US$417.8 million) in the third quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 15.0% from RMB2.6 billion in the third quarter of 2024 and an increase of 5.8% from RMB2.8 billion in the second quarter of 2025. The increase in research and development expenses over the third quarter of 2024 was mainly attributable to impact of pace of new vehicle programs and increased expenses to support our expanding product portfolios and technologies, and expenditures in connection with product configuration adjustment. The increase in research and development expenses over the second quarter of 2025 was mainly attributable to expenditures in connection with product configuration adjustment.

 

·Selling, general and administrative expenses were RMB2.8 billion (US$389.0 million) in the third quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 17.6% from RMB3.4 billion in the third quarter of 2024 and an increase of 1.9% from RMB2.7 billion in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses over the third quarter of 2024 was primarily associated with the recognition of share-based compensation expenses regarding the chief executive officer’s performance-based awards in the third quarter of 2024. The selling, general and administrative expenses remained relatively stable over the second quarter of 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP cost of sales, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income/(loss), non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP basic and diluted net earnings/(loss) per ADS attributable to ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP basic and diluted net earnings/(loss) per share attributable to ordinary shareholders and free cash flow, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. By excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses and release of valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, the Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business and enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects. The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making.

 

The non-GAAP financial measures are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and when assessing the Company’s operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

 

The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance.

 

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this press release.
