Financial and Operational Highlights for the Second
Quarter 2023
- Total revenues were RMB10.0 million (US$1.4
million), compared with RMB22.2 million in the first quarter of

that the TC process is approaching the end.
- Gross margin was 60.2%, representing a
continued high gross margin level with a slight decrease of 3.7
percentage points compared to 63.9% in the first quarter of 2023,

million), compared with RMB75.7 million in the first quarter of
2023.

(non-GAAP) was RMB51.3 million (US$7.1 million),

strategic PIPE investment.

AAVs3 were 5 units, compared with 11

Business Highlights for the Second
Quarter 2023 and Recent Developments
- All Planned Tests for EH216-S Type Certification
Completed 100%
The Company has achieved a significant milestone for EH216-S TC
by successfully completing all of the planned tests and flights in
the last phase of demonstration and verification of compliance, and
also completed the definitive TC Flight Test by the Civil Aviation
Administration of China (“CAAC”), with unwavering endeavors
throughout past 31 months since the CAAC officially accepted the
Company’s TC application in January 2021. After finishing the
remaining procedures, the Company expects to obtain the type
certificate of EH216-S Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (“UAV”) System from
the CAAC soon.
- Delivered 5 Units of EH216-S AAVs to Joint Venture
with Shenzhen-listed Xiyu Tourism
In the second quarter of 2023, EHang established a joint venture
with Xiyu Tourism (300859.SZ), a Shenzhen-listed leading tourism
company in China and delivered 5 units of EH216-S AAVs to the joint
venture. The customer aims to develop low-altitude tourism and
sightseeing projects with EHang AAVs in the Heavenly Lake of
Tianshan, a national 5A-class tourist attraction, and other scenic
areas in Northwestern China. The partnership consists of plans to
operate a minimum of 120 units of EH216-S or EHang’s comparable
passenger-carrying AAVs within the next five years.
- Strategic UAM Operational Partnership with Shenzhen
Bao’an District
In July 2023, EHang reached a Memorandum of Understanding
(“MOU”) with the Bao’an District Government of Shenzhen
municipality on a strategic partnership for urban air mobility
(“UAM”) operations after the certification of EH216-S. Both parties
will jointly develop UAM use cases, systems, and routes to build
Shenzhen as a national low-altitude economy development
demonstration city. EHang plans to establish a UAM Operation
Demonstration Center at the OH Bay in Shenzhen and launch aerial
tourism and sightseeing experience services with EH216-S AAVs.
- Continued Trial Operations of EH216-S in
China
Under the CAAC’s guidance and the Company’s 100 Air Mobility
Route Initiative, EHang, along with its customers and partners,
have developed a total of 20 trial operation sites across 18 cities
in China during the two years prior to the end of July 2023. More
than 9,300 safety-ensured operational trial flights for
low-altitude tourism and aerial sightseeing have been conducted by
EH216-S at these sites, which paves the way for future commercial
operations following the certification.
- Extended Flight Footprints in Asia and
Europe
In April 2023, EHang was inducted as a member of Japan’s
Public-Private Committee for Advanced Air Mobility. In June 2023,
EHang extended its flight footprints to Okinawa with EH216-S,
making the 7th Japanese city that it has flown. It also
demonstrated Japan’s first island-hopping flights by an unmanned
electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (“eVTOL”).
As part of the Israel National Drone Initiative and supported by
Dronery and Cando Drones, test flights were conducted for EH216-S
and EH216-L in Caesarea and Tel Aviv, Israel in June and August
2023 successively.
In July 2023, test flights to transport blood bags in Belgium
using EH216-S were conducted with the supports of Helicus,
DronePort and Blood Services of the Belgian Red Cross. This marked
the Europe’s first unmanned flight for medical transportation by an
unmanned large-payload eVTOL.
As of the end of July 2023, the flight footprints of EH216
series AAVs have extended to 14 countries across Asia, Europe and
Americas, with a total of more than 39,000 demo and trial
flights.
- US$23 Million Strategic PIPE
Investment to Strengthen Liquidity
In July 2023, EHang secured a new round of US$23 million of
equity investment through a private placement from several
strategic investors led by Mr. Lee Soo Man (“Mr. Lee”), a renowned
K-Pop music mogul. Additionally, EHang and Mr. Lee will collaborate
to drive the development of UAM business in Asian Pacific regions
by leveraging each other’s complementary strengths. The gross
proceeds from the placement will be allocated by EHang for working
capital and general corporate purposes, enabling acceleration of
strategic plans for technology advancement, business development,
and post-certification commercial operations.
CEO Remarks
Mr. Huazhi Hu, EHang’s Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, commented, “We’ve made remarkable progress in our pursuit
of long-term growth. Notably, we are thrilled to announce that we
have successfully completed all the planned tests for EH216-S type
certification. This achievement marks a significant unprecedented
milestone in the global emerging eVTOL industry, underscoring our
unwavering dedication and pioneering advantages. Additionally, this
sets the stage for us to secure the type certificate soon and
proceed with our endeavors to initiate commercial operations.”
“We’ve also witnessed positive policy developments for the
industry recently. Specifically in June, China issued regulations
governing UAVs, the first of this kind in the nation, which could
propel growth of the sector and provide a clear guidance for UAV
flight operations in China, including for our passenger-carrying
eVTOL. Furthermore, our global initiatives to expand orders and
collaborations have continued to gain traction. This includes
conducting additional demonstration and tests flights and exploring
various business opportunities at home and abroad. Our strategic
partnership with Shenzhen Bao’an Government will stand out as a
pivotal step after we obtain the type certificate. For our
execution of the post-certification commercial plans, we have
further strengthened our liquidity position with a new round of
US$23 million investments from long-term strategic investors in
July 2023. As a trailblazer in the sector, we are committed to
continuously enhancing our products and technologies to offer a
secure, efficient, and sustainable aerial experience for our
customers and partners. In doing so, we are well-positioned to
seize the abundant market opportunities that lie ahead.”
Financial Results for the Second Quarter
2023
Revenues
Total revenues were RMB10.0 million (US$1.4 million), compared
with RMB22.2 million in the first quarter of 2023, as some
deliveries have been extended to be post TC of EH216-S per
customers’ requests in light that the TC process is approaching the
end.
Costs of revenues
Costs of revenues were RMB4.0 million (US$0.6 million), compared
with RMB8.0 million in the first quarter of 2023.
Gross profit and gross margin
Gross profit was RMB6.0 million (US$0.8 million), compared with
RMB14.2 million in the first quarter of 2023.
Gross margin was 60.2%, down 3.7 percentage points from 63.9% in
the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in gross margin was mainly
due to changes in revenue mix.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses were RMB82.0 million
(US$11.3 million), representing a decrease of 10.4% compared with
RMB91.5 million in the first quarter of 2023.
- Sales and marketing expenses were RMB13.5 million (US$1.9
million), compared with RMB12.4 million in the first quarter of
2023. The increase was mainly due to increased marketing and
promotion activities to enhance brand awareness and higher employee
compensation.
- General and administrative expenses were RMB31.1 million
(US$4.3 million), compared with RMB25.0 million in the first
quarter of 2023. The increase was mainly attributed to additional
provisions for several long-aging accounts receivable on certain
customers in the second quarter of 2023.
- Research and development expenses were RMB37.4 million (US$5.1
million), compared with RMB54.1 million in the first quarter of
2023. The decrease was mainly due to lower share-based compensation
expenses for a certain portion of share-based awards vested in the
first quarter of 2023, partially offset by the continued focus on
EH216-S type certification and increased expenditures on the
conforming aircraft and compliance tests in the final demonstration
and verification phase of the type certification.
Adjusted operating expenses4
(non-GAAP)
Adjusted operating expenses were RMB58.1 million (US$8.0
million), compared with RMB50.1 million in the first quarter of
2023. Adjusted sales and marketing expenses, adjusted general and
administration expenses, and adjusted research and development
expenses were RMB8.9 million (US$1.2 million), RMB20.4 million
(US$2.8 million) and RMB28.8 million (US$4.0 million) in the second
quarter of 2023, respectively. The changes in adjusted operating
expenses were primarily due to the same reasons discussed under the
heading “Operating expenses” above.
Operating loss
Operating loss was RMB75.3 million (US$10.4 million), compared
with RMB75.7 million in the first quarter of 2023.
Adjusted operating loss
(non-GAAP)5
Adjusted operating loss was RMB51.3 million (US$7.1 million),
compared with RMB34.3 million in the first quarter of 2023.
Other income
Other income was RMB1.2 million (US$0.2 million), compared with
RMB11.2 million of other expenses in the first quarter of 2023.
This was primarily due to the non-cash expenses of amortization of
debt discounts incurred in the first quarter of 2023, which relates
to the interim funding recognized as short-term debt provided by an
investor in the private placement entered in December 2022. The
Company accounted for a significant portion of the funds as
short-term debt and the remaining portion as warrants under
additional paid-in capital. In addition, the Company has repaid the
interim funding of short-term debt in full and, with the warrants
exercised, the Company concurrently received US$10 million as
purchase price of Class A ordinary shares.
Net loss
Net loss was RMB75.7 million (US$10.4 million), compared with
RMB87.0 million in the first quarter of 2023.
Adjusted net loss
(non-GAAP)6
Adjusted net loss was RMB51.8 million (US$7.1million), compared
with RMB33.6 million in the first quarter of 2023.
Adjusted net loss attributable to EHang’s ordinary shareholders
was RMB51.6 million (US$7.1million), compared with RMB33.4 million
in the first quarter of 2023.
Loss per share and per ADS
Basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share were both RMB0.63
(US$0.09). Adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share7
(non-GAAP) were both RMB0.43 (US$0.06).
Basic and diluted net loss per ADS were both RMB1.26 (US$0.18).
Adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ADS8 (non-GAAP) were both
RMB0.86 (US$0.12).
Balance Sheets
- Cash, cash equivalents and restricted short-term deposits
balances were RMB160.7 million (US$22.2 million) as of June 30,
2023. In July 2023, the Company completed and closed the private
investment of US$23 million from long-term strategic investors to
support the needs of working capital and general corporate
purposes, enabling acceleration of strategic plans for technology
advancement, business development, and post-certification
commercial operations.
Liquidity
The Company has been incurring losses from operations since
inception. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had
net loss of RMB162.8 million (US$22.4 million). As of December 31,
2022 and June 30, 2023, accumulated deficit amounted to RMB1,450.4
million and RMB1,615.2 million (US$222.7 million),
respectively.
The Company’s liquidity and continuous operation depend on its
ability to enhance its operating cash flows and financial position,
which is currently largely dependent on when the Company will
obtain the type certificate of EH216-S to launch commercial sales
of EH216-S AAVs, and the Company’s capability to raise additional
funds through debt financings or equity offerings. The Company
expects to obtain the type certificate soon as it has already
completed all the planned tests in the final phase of Demonstration
and Verification of Compliance for EH216-S type certification as of
the date of this earnings release. In July 2023, the Company has
also secured a round of US$23 million of equity investment through
private placement from several strategic investors. The gross
proceeds from the placement has strengthened the Company’s
liquidity status. Therefore, we believe that our current cash and
cash equivalents and our anticipated cash flows from operations
will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital
requirements and material cash requirements for at least the next
12 months. However, we may need additional cash resources in the
future if we experience changes in business conditions or other
developments, or if we pursue opportunities for investment,
acquisition, capital expenditure or similar actions.

The Company also announced today that Mr. Richard Jian Liu
tendered his resignation from his position as the Chief Financial

Business Outlook
The Company continues to receive increasing inquiries, demands,
and orders from customers for AAV uses in aerial tourism, urban
transportation, emergency rescue, and smart city management, which
are driven by its first-mover advantages, favorable policies in the
UAM sector, and expected upcoming commercialization. The Company’s
EH216-S order pipeline in China has reached more than 100 units and
continues growing. Most of these orders are conditional upon the
Company’s completion of the type certification.
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 changes, especially
uncertainties and situations related to EH216-S certification,
political and economic landscape, etc.

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

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 and amortization of debt
discounts, 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 or financial results. 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.

___________________________________
11 In December 2022, the Company received interim funding from
an investor who has subscribed for certain number of Class A
ordinary shares of the Company in a private placement. The funds
amounted to US$10 million in total and were made available for use
by the Company pending the closing of the private placement. We
accounted for a significant portion of the funds as short-term debt
and the remaining portion as additional paid-in capital. The
closing of the private placement has occurred by the end of first
quarter of 2023. The Company has repaid the interim funding in full
and concurrently received US$10 million as purchase price of
3,466,204 Class A ordinary shares.12 Additional paid-in capital
reflected the impacts from transactions with non-controlling
shareholder. Please refer to the annual report for more details. 13
Accumulated deficit reflected the impacts from adoption of ASU
2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326) since
January 1, 2023 and transactions with non-controlling shareholder.
Please refer to the annual report for more details.
