  • We can see that the profit and operating margins are negative at -29.55% and -31.75%. It indicates that the company is unprofitable.

  • Although the company has grown at 62.2% and made a Gross Profit, i.e., Revenue minus COGS (Cost of Goods Sold) of 5.14 billion CNY, the real picture is clear with EBITDA and the Return on Assets and Return on Equity.

  • The EBITDA, or Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization, stands at -13.93 billion CNY, and the Return on Asset and Return on Equity are -10.91% and -44.79%, respectively. Negative EBITDA indicates operational challenges. A negative return on assets and equity means the company incurred a loss for the said period.

  • The Total Debt stands at 23.71 billion CNY, and the Total Debt to Equity Ratio is 85.75, which is exorbitantly high and indicates that the proportion of the company’s liabilities is way beyond the generated revenue.

  • However, it should be remembered that Electric Vehicle manufacturing is a very capital-intensive business. A lot of money goes into research and development.

  • It is an emerging technology, and the electric vehicle industry is nascent. As more and more countries move towards greener technology and make electric cars mainstream, the adoption rate will go high.

  • Hence, although the liabilities are high and the company is going through an unprofitable period, the future is extremely bright for NIO.
