Commenting on the results, ECARX Co-founder, Chairman and CEO Ziyu Shen said: “The pace of business accelerated in the second quarter, reflecting strong demand for our customers’ vehicles. Our automotive OEM partners are capturing the imagination of new car buyers with modern and exciting in-car experiences enabled by our products. We recently announced powerful new digital cockpit solutions that are both enabling existing customers to create a more innovative experience in their vehicles and attracting interest from new automotive OEMs. Our experience in both hardware and software, and roots in both automotive and tech, give us a unique position in the industry.”

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

During the quarter, ECARX acquired a controlling financial interest in JICA Intelligent Robotics Co. Ltd. (“JICA”), an entity under common control.

    • Sales of goods revenue of RMB670.4 million (US$92.5 million), up 87% YoY, primarily driven by the ramp-up of new digital cockpit sales volumes and the shift in portfolio revenue mix shift from infotainment head unit (IHU) to digital cockpit, which has a higher total revenue per unit
    • Software license revenue of RMB113.3 million (US$15.6 million), up 212% YoY, mostly due to revenue generated from two procurement framework agreements for intellectual property licenses
    • Service revenue of RMB168.6 million (US$23.3 million), down 36% YoY, mostly as a result of timing differences in non-recurring engineering revenue (NRE), which is expected to now be booked in the second half of 2023

  • Research and development expenses were RMB243.7 million (US$33.6 million), down 21% YoY as a result of the cessation of our ADAS perception software development last year
  • Selling, general and administrative expenses and others, net were RMB221.8 million (US$30.6 million), down 30% YoY, due to much lower share-based compensation expense during the quarter

  • Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) loss of RMB158.0 million (US$21.8 million), up from a loss of RMB95.0 million from the same period last year, as a result of higher foreign currency exchange losses and lower government grants on a YoY basis

Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains statements that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on management’s beliefs and expectations as well as on assumptions made by and data currently available to management, appear in a number of places throughout this document and include statements regarding, amongst other things, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies and the industry in which we operate. The use of words “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “believes,” “should,” “potential,“ “may,” “preliminary,” “forecast,” “objective,” “plan,” or “target,” and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including, but not limited to statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies, future market conditions or economic performance and developments in the capital and credit markets and expected future financial performance, and the markets in which we operate.

For a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement, see ECARX’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. ECARX undertakes no obligation to update or revise and forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, except as required by applicable law.

Translation of results into U.S. dollars
This announcement contains translations of certain renminbi (RMB) amounts into U.S dollars (US$) at a specified rate solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise noted, the translation of renminbi into U.S. dollars has been made at RMB7.2513 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate in effect on June 30, 2023 as set forth in the H.10 Statistical Release of The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. We make no representation that any renminbi or U.S. dollar amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars or renminbi, as the case may be, at any particular rate, or at all.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
The Company uses adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss excluding interest income, interest expense, income tax expenses, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, and share-based compensation expenses.

The Company presents the non-GAAP financial measure because it is used by the management to evaluate the Company’s operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company believes that the non-GAAP measure helps identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effects of foreign currency translation and certain expenses that are included in net loss. The Company also believes that the use of the non-GAAP measure facilitates investors’ assessment of its operating performance. To calculate revenue growth rates in constant currency, the Company converts actual net sales from local currency to U.S. dollars using constant foreign currency exchange rates in the current and prior period.

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to net loss or any other measures of performance or as indicators of the Company’s operating performance. Investors are encouraged to compare the Company’s historical adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net loss. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) 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 the financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

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