1.   ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Hesai Group (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands on April 21, 2021. The Company, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) is primarily engaged in the development, manufacture and sales of 3-dimensional light detection and ranging solutions, or LiDAR.
2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, regarding interim financial reporting, and include all normal and recurring adjustments that management of the Group considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and operation results. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the Group’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.
Basis of consolidation
The financial statements presented herein represent the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Group’s management reviews these estimates based on information that is currently available. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Group to revise its estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s condensed consolidated financial statements mainly include the estimated project progress towards certain services revenue, warranty reserves, incremental borrowing rate of lease liabilities, inventory write-down, allowance for credit losses, the useful lives and impairment of property and equipment, right-of-use assets, intangible assets and land-use rights, valuation of share-based compensation.
Fair value measurements
The established fair value hierarchy as defined by U.S. GAAP requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value include:
Level 1 Valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are unadjusted quoted prices from active markets for assets or liabilities that are identical to the assets or liabilities being measured.
Level 2 Valuation techniques in which significant inputs include quoted prices from active markets for assets or liabilities that are similar to the assets or liabilities being measured and/or quoted prices for assets or liabilities that are identical or similar to the assets or liabilities being measured from markets that are not active. Also, model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets are Level 2 valuation techniques.
 
F-7

 
2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Level 3 Valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are valuation technique inputs that reflect the Group’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The Group’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, time deposits with maturities between three months and one year included in short-term investments, accounts receivable, notes receivable, contract assets, amounts due from/to related parties, other receivables included in other current assets, accounts payable, notes payable, other current liabilities, and short/long-term borrowings. All carrying amounts of these short-term financial instruments measured at amortized cost approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of long-term borrowings is approximate to their carry amounts because the annual interest rates of such borrowings are the similar to the prevailing market annual interest rate.
The following table presents our assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy.

The structured financial products with commercial banks in the PRC are financial instruments with variable interest rates indexed mainly to exchange rates and/or price of commodities. In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, the Group elected the fair value option at the date of initial recognition to measure structured financial products at fair value on a recurring basis with changes in the fair value are recorded as interest income in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. The fair values of these structured financial products were using Level 2 significant other observable input by applying the interest rate implied by the current quotation of underlying indices. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, the Group recorded fair value changes of short-term investments of RMB10,110 (unaudited) and RMB1,994 (unaudited) as interest income in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income, respectively.
Revenue recognition
The Group recognizes revenue from sales of LiDAR products and other products at a point in time when control of the products is transferred to the customers, which generally occurs upon delivery according to the terms of the underlying contracts. Product sales to certain customers may require customer acceptance due to performance acceptance criteria that is considered more than a formality. For these product sales, revenue is recognized upon the expiration of the customer acceptance period. The Group’s general terms and conditions for its contracts do not contain a right of return that allows the customer to return products and receive a credit, and therefore the Group does not estimate returns. The Group’s standalone selling prices are based on the prices charged to customers for the single performance obligation which is transfer of control of products
 
F-8

 
2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
upon delivery to the customers or upon expiration of the customer acceptance period. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expect to receive in exchange for transferring the promised goods, adjusted for any variable consideration such as price concessions or annual price adjustments as estimated at contract inception. The Group estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount they will receive from customers and reduce revenues recognized accordingly. The Group includes estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The Group estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of their anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to the Group. The Group adjusts the estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the value of consideration they expect to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are included in revenue. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenue on the net basis of accounting. Accounts receivables are due under normal trade terms, typically within 30 to 90 days.
For LiDAR solution that the Group offers customers with a combination of hardware, software, deployment and professional services and engineering design, development and validation service projects, control of the goods and services may be transferred over time or at a point in time depending on the terms of the contract. Control of the goods and services is transferred over time when the Group’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. The Group recognizes revenue over time using an input method based on contract cost incurred to date compared to total estimated contract cost (cost-to-cost) as the services are provided. Otherwise, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods and services.
The Group typically provides standard product warranties on LiDARs. For LiDARs used in Robotics market, such warranties last one or two years. For those used in advanced driver assistance system market, such warranties cover five years or 100 thousand kilometers, whichever comes first. Standard warranties are considered to be assurance type warranties and are not accounted for as separate performance obligations. The Group accrues estimated future warranty costs and charges to cost of revenues in the period that the related revenue is recognized. These estimates are based on historical warranty experience and any known or expected changes in warranty exposure, such as trends of product reliability and costs of repairing and replacing defective products. The Group also provides extended warranties as a service for an additional term ranging one to two additional years. For service type extended warranty contracts, the Group allocates revenue to this performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis and recognizes the revenue ratably over time during the effective period of the services. The Group recognized RMB5,719 (unaudited) and RMB3,006 (unaudited) for extended warranty services, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The Group operates in one operating segment, which includes all activities related to the development, manufacturing, and delivery of LiDAR products. The determination of a single operating segment is consistent with the condensed consolidated financial information regularly provided to the Group’s CODM.
As a single reportable segment entity, segment asset information is not used by the CODM to allocate resources. The measure used by CODM to assess performance and make operating decisions is net loss as reported on the Group’s consolidated statements of operations. The CODM uses performance measure to monitor budget versus actual results. See Note 18 for a description of the Group’s disaggregated revenues by product line and geographic location.

Concentration of risks
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Group to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, contract assets, amount due from related parties, and prepayments and other current assets.
The Group places its cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments in various financial institutions in the PRC, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and the United States. The Group believes that no significant credit risk exists as all of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents are held with financial institutions that Group’s management believes to be high credit quality.
Accounts receivable and contract assets are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from the customers. The Group conducts credit evaluations of customers to whom credit terms are extended.
