    Management Remarks

    “We are thrilled to announce an exceptional second quarter performance, highlighted by all-time highs across the board. A new benchmark stands tall as we established record-breaking figures in both quarterly net revenues and total LiDAR shipments, while attaining remarkable milestones in ADAS LiDAR revenues and shipments. These strong shipments, along with our unwavering focus on operating efficiency, generated positive operating cash flow for the second consecutive quarter,” Yifan “David” Li, Hesai's Co-Founder and CEO, commented. “In the second quarter, we also signed a number of new LiDAR deals, including new domestic design wins with SAIC Motor for multiple series-production vehicle models and two strategic development programs with two leading automotive OEM partners from North America and Europe, respectively. In addition, our long-standing partnership with NVIDIA, dating back to 2019, served as a solid foundation for a new venture during the quarter – integration of our LiDAR sensors with the NVIDIA DRIVE and NVIDIA Omniverse ecosystems. Our position as a trusted leader in the LiDAR market is stronger than ever!”

    Louis T. Hsieh, Hesai’s Global Chief Financial Officer, said, “We are delighted to deliver an impressive quarter of top-line growth. Net revenues for the second quarter of 2023 exceeded our guidance with an outstanding 108.5% year-over-year increase, reaching an all-time high of RMB440.3 million (US$60.7 million). Additionally, we are proud to have achieved a record high of 52,106 total LiDAR shipments, marking a 10-fold surge compared with the same quarter last year. Our cumulative LiDAR shipments have exceeded 190,000 units, reaffirming our leading position in the global LiDAR industry. As validation of our market leadership, a couple of weeks ago we were named the No. 1 global automotive LiDAR supplier for the second consecutive year by Yole Intelligence, a world-renowned independent research company in Europe. Their report indicated astounding growth of 95% in the global automotive LiDAR market from 2021 to 2022. Notably, Hesai extended its leading position, increasing its global LiDAR market share from 42% in 2021 to 47% in 2022, clearly surpassing the second-largest player at 15%. Based on reported revenues and shipments in the first half of 2023, we continue to outpace the competition with higher revenues and LiDAR shipments than our six other US-listed LiDAR peers COMBINED!3”

    Mr. Hsieh continued, “We are also pleased to share that our gross margin for the second quarter of 2023 exceeded our expectations at 30%, attributable to better-than-expected ASPs and continuous improvements in our manufacturing cost structure. We are confident that we will exceed our initial gross margin target of 27% to 30% for full-year 2023. Our unrelenting efforts to improve revenue scalability and cost efficiency resulted in positive operating cash flow for the second consecutive quarter of approximately RMB58.3 million (US$8.0 million), a 4-fold quarter-over-quarter increase, underscoring our clear path to profitability.”

    Business Developments

    • ADAS: Hesai secured new domestic design wins with SAIC Motor for multiple series-production vehicle models. The Company also forged two new strategic development programs with two leading global automotive OEM partners, one from North America and one from Europe.
    • Autonomous mobility: Hesai commenced volume shipments for its latest deal, which represents the largest Robotaxi LiDAR contract in the Company’s history, with a leading global Robotaxi player.
    • Hesai was named as the No. 1 global automotive LiDAR supplier for the second consecutive year, capturing 47% of the worldwide LiDAR market share by revenue in 2022, according to a recent report published by Yole Intelligence. Yole's projection also forecasts that the Company will maintain its No. 1 position in the market for 2023.
    • Hesai deepened its longstanding collaboration with NVIDIA earlier this month by announcing the integration of our LiDAR sensors with the NVIDIA DRIVE and NVIDIA Omniverse ecosystems. NVIDIA has been one of our top 10 U.S. customers since 2019.
    • Hesai is on track to manufacture its AT series LiDAR featuring an upgraded design, extended detection range and lower power consumption. Full-scale production is anticipated to commence in the third quarter of 2023 at Hesai’s “Hertz Center” manufacturing facility in Hangzhou, which operates at an automation rate over 90%.

    • Net revenues were RMB440.3 million (US$60.7 million) for the second quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 108.5% from the same period of 2022. Product revenues were RMB386.8 million (US$53.3 million) for the second quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 108.3% from RMB185.7 million (US$25.6 million) for the same period of 2022. The stellar revenue growth was attributed, in part, to a more favorable year-over-year comparison with the second quarter of 2022, during which period net revenues were adversely affected by the Shanghai Covid lockdowns in April to May 2022, along with other nationwide Covid restrictions. The year-over-year increase was mainly attributable to increased demand for Autonomous Mobility and ADAS LiDAR products as volume production of AT128 began in the third quarter of 2022. Service revenues were RMB53.5 million (US$7.4 million) for the second quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 110.1% from RMB25.5 million (US$3.5 million) for the same period of 2022. The year-over-year increase was mainly attributable to increased solutions revenue.
    • Cost of revenues was RMB309.2 million (US$42.6 million) for the second quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 175.4% from RMB112.3 million (US$15.5 million) for the same period of 2022. The year-over-year increase was due to increased shipments of LiDAR products, partially offset by the decrease in unit cost.
    • Gross margin was 29.8% for the second quarter of 2023, compared with 46.8% for the same period of 2022. The decrease in gross margin percentage was mainly attributable to increased shipments of lower priced ADAS LiDAR products.
    • Sales and marketing expenses were RMB26.9 million (US$3.7 million) for the second quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 32.0% from RMB20.4 million (US$2.8 million) for the same period of 2022. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to increased payroll expenses of RMB3.3 million (US$0.5 million) attributable to an expanded sales and marketing team.
    • General and administrative expenses were RMB56.7 million (US$7.8 million) for the second quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of 15.8% from RMB67.4 million (US$9.3 million) for the same period of 2022. The year-over-year decrease was mainly driven by the decrease of factory suspension loss of RMB24.6 million (US$3.4 million) incurred in the second quarter of 2022 due to the Shanghai Covid lockdowns, offset by increased payroll expenses of RMB7.6 million (US$1.0 million).
    • Research and development expenses were RMB161.0 million (US$22.2 million) for the second quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 49.1% from RMB108.0 million (US$14.9 million) for the same period of 2022. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to increased payroll expenses of RMB35.5 million (US$4.9 million) and share-based compensation expenses of RMB6.2 million (US$0.9 million) attributable to higher R&D headcount.
    • Loss from operations was RMB113.5 million (US$15.7 million) for the second quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 20.3% from RMB94.3 million (US$13.0 million) from the same period of 2022. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP loss from operations was RMB79.8 million (US$11.0 million) for the second quarter of 2023, compared with RMB66.9 million (US$9.2 million) for the same period of 2022.
    • Net loss was RMB74.4 million (US$10.3 million) for the second quarter of 2023, compared with RMB69.7 million (US$9.6 million) for the same period of 2022. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP net loss was RMB40.6 million (US$5.6 million) in the second quarter of 2023, compared with RMB42.2 million (US$5.8 million) for the same period of 2022.
    • Net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of Hesai was RMB74.4 million (US$10.3 million) for the second quarter of 2023, compared with RMB265.5 million (US$36.6 million) for the same period of 2022. Excluding share-based compensation expenses and deemed dividends, non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of Hesai was RMB40.6 million (US$5.6 million) for the second quarter of 2023, compared with RMB42.2 million (US$5.8 million) for the same period of 2022.
    • Basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share were both RMB0.59 (US$0.08) for the second quarter of 2023. Excluding share-based compensation expenses and deemed dividends, non-GAAP basic net loss per ordinary share and non-GAAP diluted net loss per ordinary share were both RMB0.32 (US$0.04) for the second quarter of 2023.
    • Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments were RMB3,254.7 million (US$448.8 million) as of June 30, 2023, compared with RMB3,141.4 million (US$457.4 million) as of March 31, 2023.

    Business Outlook

    For the third quarter of 2023, the Company expects net revenues to be between RMB405 million (US$55.9 million) and RMB425 million (US$58.6 million), representing a year-over-year increase of approximately 21.3% to 27.3%. The lower-than-normal year-over-year quarterly net revenue growth can be attributed to two primary factors: first, net revenues in 3Q22 were elevated due to a significant rebound in 3Q22 following the Shanghai Covid lockdowns in 2Q22, resulting in a high-base year-over-year comparison for 3Q23; and second, LiDAR units totaling several million USD that were initially scheduled for delivery in 3Q23 are now anticipated to be delivered in 4Q23 instead.

    The above outlook is based on the current market conditions and reflects the Company’s preliminary estimates of market and operating conditions, and customer demand, which are all subject to change.

    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    To supplement Hesai's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, Hesai uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: loss from operation excluding share-based compensation expenses, net income excluding share-based compensation expenses, net income attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation and deemed dividend, and per ordinary share net income attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation and deemed dividend. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned "Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP Results" set forth at the end of this release.

    Hesai believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding share-based compensation expenses and deemed dividend that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective. Hesai believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to Hesai's historical performance and liquidity. Hesai believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. A limitation of using these non-GAAP measures is that they exclude share-based compensation expenses and deemed dividend that has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our business. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.
