  • AirX’s Pre-Order for 50 Units of EHang 216 Series in Japan

In January 2022, EHang received a pre-order for 50 units of EHang 216 series in Japan from AirX Inc. (“AirX”), a leading Japanese air mobility digital platform company with more than 100 helicopter sightseeing operating routes and private helicopter charter services. The pre-order of EHang 216 series AAVs is planned to facilitate various UAM projects in Japan and has a prospect of providing “air taxi” services for the 2025 World Expo in Osaka, Kansai, Japan.

  • AEROTREE’s Pre-Order for 50 Units of EHang 216 Series and 10 Units of VT-30 in Malaysia

In March 2022, EHang entered into a strategic partnership with Aerotree Flight Services Sdn. Bhd. (“AEROTREE”), a subsidiary of leading Malaysian aviation company AEROTREE Group, for developing UAM businesses, including Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (“MRO”) and training in Malaysia. AEROTREE placed a pre-order for 50 units of EHang 216 series, which include EHang 216, EHang 216L, and EHang 216F, as well as 10 units of VT-30.

  • Strategic Partnership with C.P. Group to Introduce AAVs to Thailand

In May 2022, EHang formed a strategic partnership with Charoen Pokphand Group Co., Ltd. (“C.P. Group”), one of the largest conglomerates in Thailand, with an intent to establish a joint venture in Thailand for AAV sales and UAM operations.

CEO Remarks

Mr. Huazhi Hu, EHang’s Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We kicked off the year 2022 in a more volatile and uncertain environment due to macroeconomics, geopolitical tensions, and the resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite these temporary challenges, we remain dedicated to our strategic goal of becoming an urban air mobility platform operator. With that, we achieved meaningful progress across multiple fronts, cementing our core strengths and industry position.”

“Notably, our gross margin, already at a high level, further increased by 2.4 percentage points quarter-over-quarter to 62.5% for the first quarter of the year. Most importantly, the CAAC formally adopted and issued the Special Conditions for EH216-S AAV Type Certification in February, which laid a critical cornerstone for our airworthiness certification, and is also groundbreaking milestone in the development of this innovative industry. While we are moving forward the airworthiness certification process, we have produced validation-used AAVs for manufacturing conformity inspection.”

“Excitingly, we welcomed our newly-appointed Chief Operating Officer Mr. Xin Fang on board in February, and saw growing AAV demand from broader Asian markets, with a total of up to 210 units of pre-orders3 obtained so far this year. This reflects the wide appeal of our products. Going forward, our unique AAV technology advantages, smart command-and-control system, promising market demands, and comprehensive growth strategies are empowering us to provide a safe, autonomous and eco-friendly aerial mobility experience while adding value to our shareholders and stakeholders.”

Financial Results for the First Quarter 2022

Business Outlook

Due to the COVID-19 resurgence that brought forward stricter travel restrictions and lock-downs in China since the first quarter of 2022, many industries in China have been facing challenges and uncertainties.

The above outlook is based on information available as of the date of this press release and reflects the Company’s current and preliminary expectations regarding its business situation and market conditions. The outlook is subject to change, especially uncertainties and situations related to the certification process, COVID-19 outbreaks, and global political and economic landscape.

Safe Harbor Statement

This press release contains statements that may constitute “forward-looking” statements pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “aims,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “likely to” and similar statements. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about management’s beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement, including but not limited to those relating to EH216-S Type Certification, our expectations regarding demand for, and market acceptance of, our AAV products and solutions and the commercialization of UAM services, our relationships with strategic partners, and current litigation and potential litigation involving us. Management has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While they believe these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond management’s control. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause EHang’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

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

The Non-GAAP Financial Measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using the Non-GAAP Financial Measures is that they do not reflect all items of expense that affect the Company’s operations. Share-based compensation expenses have been and may continue to be incurred in the business and are not reflected in the presentation of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Further, the Non-GAAP Financial Measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the Non-GAAP Financial Measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance.

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

For more information on the Non-GAAP Financial Measures, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this press release.
