Why One Analyst Thinks Tesla Could Dominate the 'Low-Altitude Economy'
"Look up, your ride has arrived," is a message some see as eventually landing in your inbox. 'In our view, the low altitude economy (LAE) may eventually vastly exceed the size of today's automotive market,' wrote Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas in a research note earlier this week. That term refers to aerial commercial activities conducted within one mile of the earth's surface, airspace now sparsely occupied by helicopters and small drones. Analysts expect advancements in artificial intelligence and robotics to support the launch of new aircraft—notably, electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicles—with applications in areas like logistics/distribution, public security and emergency services, tourism, urban commuting, and intercity transportation. Morgan Stanley forecasts the total addressable 'Urban Air Mobility' (UAM) market will be valued at $1 trillion by 2040 and $9 trillion by 2050. Not everybody's expectations are quite that high: Bank of America recently estimated a market worth $23 billion by 2035. BofA expects adoption to remain relatively slow until at least that year, when it anticipates economies of scale and battery technologies to improve eVTOL cost and accessibility. Whatever the size of the pie, the companies vying for a slice of it include upstarts like Archer Aviation (ACHR), which is currently testing an eVTOL model and partnering with defense contractor Anduril to develop military applications, and Joby Aviation (JOBY), which is in the process of getting its air taxi certified for passenger rides. Morgan Stanley's Jonas thinks those companies could face formidable competition from Tesla (TSLA). The EV maker hasn't announced any intention to develop eVTOLs, but CEO Elon Musk has discussed the need for a homegrown low-altitude economy in the U.S. When Jonas, on Tesla's most recent earnings call, asked Musk for his thoughts on the U.S. and China's AI and robotics rivalry, Musk expressed concern about America's limited drone manufacturing capabilities. 'Any country that cannot manufacture its own drones is doomed to be the vassal state of any country that can,' he said, quoting X user "@naval." 'And we can't. America cannot currently manufacture its own drones.' Tesla, Jonas says, 'has a host of relevant skills to be a factor' in the commercial and military LAE, including its work in manufacturing, autonomy, electric motors and batteries, and robotics. Jonas estimates Tesla's share of a future $9 trillion UAM market could add between $100 and $1,000 to its share price. Tesla's work on autonomous vehicles could give it a leg up on LAE competitors. "Any advancement in the science of autonomous cars accelerates the advancement of autonomous aerial drones," Jonas wrote. Tesla is expected to launch its first robotaxi operation in Austin, Texas, later this month.

Operating loss was RMB89.9 million (US$12.4 million), compared with RMB65.8 million in the first quarter of 2024 and RMB56.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Net loss was RMB78.4 million (US$10.8 million), compared with RMB63.4 million in the first quarter of 2024, and RMB46.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted operating loss2 (non-GAAP) was RMB42.6 million (US$5.9 million), compared with RMB12.6 million in the first quarter of 2024, and adjusted operating income2 of RMB27.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted net loss3 (non-GAAP) was RMB31.1 million (US$4.3 million), compared with RMB10.1 million in the first quarter of 2024, and adjusted net income3 of RMB36.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Cash and cash equivalents, restricted short-term deposits and short-term investments balances were RMB1,114.4 million (US$153.6 million) as of March 31, 2025. Business Highlights for the First Quarter of 2025 and Recent Developments EH216-S Operators Obtained Air Operator Certificates from CAAC for Commercial Operations On March 28, 2025, the Civil Aviation Administration of China ('CAAC') issued the inaugural Air Operator Certificates ('OCs') for civil human-carrying pilotless aerial vehicles in China to two operators of the EH216-S. These operators are EHang General Aviation, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, and Heyi Aviation, an operator affiliated with the Company's client. With these certificates, the operators are authorized to conduct commercial human-carrying flight services utilizing EH216-S pilotless eVTOLs at their designated operational sites within China. Prioritizing operational safety, the commercial operations of the EH216-S in China will be methodically expanded through a phased approach. This expansion will transition from isolated airspace to integrated airspace, from aerial tourism to passenger transportation, from pilot sites to additional locations, and from serving invited passengers to the general public. VT35 Certification and Production Progress EHang's VT35, a next-generation long-range lift-and-cruise pilotless eVTOL and upgraded version of the VT30, is in the process of applying for China's certification. The CAAC has accepted its Type Certification application. The first VT35 unit has been manufactured for airworthiness validation tests and is now undergoing comprehensive flight testing. EHang plans to unveil the VT35 in the third quarter of 2025. Expansion and Upgrade of Yunfu Production Base In the first quarter of 2025, the Company commenced the expansion and upgrade of its Yunfu production base. This will double the factory space to 48,000 square meters, with plans to increase the annual production capacity to 1,000 units by the end of this year. Plan of eVTOL Production Base in Hefei In February 2025, EHang announced a strategic partnership with JAC Motors and Guoxian Holdings to jointly build a state-of-the-art eVTOL production base in Hefei. The new facility will integrate automation, standardization, and scale production to meet rising demand and accelerate the commercialization of the low-altitude economy. EH216-S Flights at Shanghai eVTOL Operation Center In January 2025, the Company's client conducted trial flights of the EH216-S at an eVTOL operation center located at Longhua Airport on Shanghai's Xuhui Riverside. Luohu UAM Exhibition and Experience Center launched in Shenzhen for EH216-S Tourism Flights In January 2025, the Company's client launched the Luohu UAM Exhibition and Experience Center in Shenzhen's Luohu Sports and Leisure Park. This innovative hub, featuring an automated multi-level smart vertiport for EH216-S operations, sets a new standard for urban low-altitude infrastructure and tourism. International Expansion: EH216-S Flights in Mexico and Spain With the support of local customers and partners, EH216-S made its flights in Benidorm, Spain in February and in Mexico in March, expanding EHang's global presence to 19 countries. Academic and Industry Collaboration In February 2025, EHang established the Aerospace and Intelligent Manufacturing Committee of the Tsinghua University Alumni Association in Guangzhou to foster a low-altitude economy innovation ecosystem in the Greater Bay Area. In March 2025, EHang signed an MoU with the University of Zaragoza (Spain) and the University of Guangzhou to create the Joint Laboratory for Low-Altitude Flight Safety. Low-Altitude Infrastructure Development with CCIT and CCCC-FHDI In May 2025, EHang expanded its partnership with CCIT and CCCC-FHDI to jointly develop coastal and river-based low-altitude infrastructure. The collaboration will focus on six strategic areas, including infrastructure planning, marine low-altitude economy models, national low-altitude tourism zones, intelligent logistics corridors, service complexes, and international Belt and Road cooperation. Management Remarks Mr. Huazhi Hu, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of EHang: 'In the first quarter of 2025, EHang reached a defining moment in our path toward commercial urban air mobility. The official issuance of Air Operator Certificates to EH216-S operators by the CAAC marked the approval for commercial human-carrying pilotless eVTOL flight services in China, a significant milestone for both EHang and the low-altitude economy, making urban air mobility accessible to the public. In parallel, we are excited that our next-gen VT35, a long-range lift-and-cruise pilotless eVTOL model, is progressing into type certification process by the CAAC. This model will expand our product portfolio beyond the EH216 series in urban air mobility, enabling broader application scenarios in long-range regional air mobility in the future. Looking ahead, EHang will continue to push the boundaries of innovation and expand our commercial operations gradually. We are confident in our ability to shape the future of air mobility and maintain our leadership in this sector.' Mr. Conor Yang, Chief Financial Officer of EHang: 'In the first quarter of 2025, we recorded a revenue decline, primarily due to the timing of customer procurement plans aligning with the issuance of the first OCs at the end of March. However, we are encouraged by the rebound in the second quarter, with sales and deliveries ramping up. Against the backdrop of recent geopolitical tensions and global market volatility, our operations have not been impacted by tariff measures. We are also exploring potential options for a listing outside the United States, in addition to our existing primary listing on Nasdaq.' Unaudited Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2025Total revenues were RMB26.1 million (US$3.6 million), compared with RMB61.7 million in the first quarter of 2024, and RMB164.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily driven by decreased sales volume of EH216 series of revenues were RMB9.8 million (US$1.4 million), compared with RMB23.5 million in the first quarter of 2024 and RMB64.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases were in line with the decrease in the sales volume of EH216 series profit was RMB16.3 million (US$2.2 million), compared with RMB38.2 million in the first quarter of 2024, and RMB99.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases were primarily due to the decrease in the sales volume of EH216 series margin was 62.4%, representing a 0.5 percentage points increase from 61.9% in the first quarter of 2024, and a 1.7 percentage points increase from 60.7% in the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter increases were mainly due to higher average selling price of EH216 series operating expenses were RMB110.9 million (US$15.3 million), compared with RMB107.7 million in the first quarter of 2024, and RMB162.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Sales and marketing expenses were RMB12.2 million (US$1.7 million), compared with RMB20.2 million in the first quarter of 2024, and RMB36.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases were mainly attributable to decreased sales-related compensation and lower share-based compensation expenses due to a certain portion of share-based awards vested in 2024. General and administrative expenses were RMB61.4 million (US$8.5 million), compared with RMB49.7 million in the first quarter of 2024, and RMB69.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was mainly attributable to increased employee compensation and related share-based compensation expenses due to new grant of share-based awards in the fourth quarter of 2024. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly attributable to lower share-based compensation expenses due to a certain portion of share-based awards vested in the fourth quarter of 2024. Research and development expenses were RMB37.3 million (US$5.1 million), compared with RMB37.8 million in the first quarter of 2024, and RMB56.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases were mainly attributable to lower share-based compensation expenses due to a certain portion of share-based awards vested in loss was RMB89.9 million (US$12.4 million), compared with RMB65.8 million in the first quarter of 2024, and RMB56.0 million in the fourth quarter of loss was RMB78.4 million (US$10.8 million), compared with RMB63.4 million in the first quarter of 2024, and RMB46.9 million in the fourth quarter of and diluted net loss per ordinary share were both RMB0.54 (US$0.07). Basic and diluted net loss per ADS were both RMB1.08 (US$0.14).Cash and cash equivalents, restricted short-term deposits and short-term investments balances were RMB1,114.4 million (US$153.6 million) as of March 31, 2025. Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company uses adjusted operating expenses, adjusted sales and marketing expenses, adjusted general and administrative expenses, adjusted research and development expenses, adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders, adjusted basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per ordinary share and adjusted basic and diluted net earnings (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 item of share-based compensation expenses, 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 operating expenses4 (non-GAAP) were RMB63.6 million (US$8.8 million), compared with RMB54.5 million in the first quarter of 2024, and RMB78.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted sales and marketing expenses4 (non-GAAP), adjusted general and administrative expenses4 (non-GAAP), and adjusted research and development expenses4 (non-GAAP) were RMB10.3 million (US$1.4 million), RMB22.2 million (US$3.1 million) and RMB31.1 million (US$4.3 million) in the first quarter of 2025, respectively. Adjusted operating loss2 (non-GAAP) was RMB42.6 million (US$5.9 million), compared with adjusted operating loss2 (non-GAAP) of RMB12.6 million in the first quarter of 2024, and adjusted operating income2 (non-GAAP) of RMB27.2 million in the fourth quarter of net loss3 (non-GAAP) was RMB31.1 million (US$4.3 million), compared with adjusted net loss3 (non-GAAP) of RMB10.1 million in the first quarter of 2024, and adjusted net income3 (non-GAAP) of RMB36.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

EHang Reports First Quarter 2025 Unaudited Financial Results
EH216-S Operators Obtained Air Operator Certificates from CAAC for Commercial Operations VT35 Type Certificate Application Accepted by CAAC; First Unit Manufactured for Airworthiness Validation Tests Production Expansion in Yunfu and New Factory Plan in Hefei GUANGZHOU, China, May 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EHang Holdings Limited ('EHang' or the 'Company') (Nasdaq: EH), the world's leading Urban Air Mobility ('UAM') technology platform company, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. Operational and Financial Highlights for the First Quarter of 2025 Sales and deliveries of EH216 series eVTOL1 were 11 units. Total revenues were RMB26.1 million (US$3.6 million), compared with RMB61.7 million in the first quarter of 2024, and RMB164.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Gross margin was 62.4%, representing a 0.5 percentage points increase from 61.9% in the first quarter of 2024, and a 1.7 percentage points increase from 60.7% in the fourth quarter of 2024. Operating loss was RMB89.9 million (US$12.4 million), compared with RMB65.8 million in the first quarter of 2024 and RMB56.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Net loss was RMB78.4 million (US$10.8 million), compared with RMB63.4 million in the first quarter of 2024, and RMB46.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted operating loss2 (non-GAAP) was RMB42.6 million (US$5.9 million), compared with RMB12.6 million in the first quarter of 2024, and adjusted operating income2 of RMB27.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted short-term deposits and short-term investments balances were RMB1,114.4 million (US$153.6 million) as of March 31, 2025. Business Highlights for the First Quarter of 2025 and Recent Developments EH216-S Operators Obtained Air Operator Certificates from CAAC for Commercial Operations On March 28, 2025, the Civil Aviation Administration of China ('CAAC') issued the inaugural Air Operator Certificates ('OCs') for civil human-carrying pilotless aerial vehicles in China to two operators of the EH216-S. These operators are EHang General Aviation, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, and Heyi Aviation, an operator affiliated with the Company's client. With these certificates, the operators are authorized to conduct commercial human-carrying flight services utilizing EH216-S pilotless eVTOLs at their designated operational sites within China. Prioritizing operational safety, the commercial operations of the EH216-S in China will be methodically expanded through a phased approach. This expansion will transition from isolated airspace to integrated airspace, from aerial tourism to passenger transportation, from pilot sites to additional locations, and from serving invited passengers to the general public. VT35 Certification and Production Progress EHang's VT35, a next-generation long-range lift-and-cruise pilotless eVTOL and upgraded version of the VT30, is in the process of applying for China's certification. The CAAC has accepted its Type Certification application. The first VT35 unit has been manufactured for airworthiness validation tests and is now undergoing comprehensive flight testing. EHang plans to unveil the VT35 in the third quarter of 2025. Expansion and Upgrade of Yunfu Production Base In the first quarter of 2025, the Company commenced the expansion and upgrade of its Yunfu production base. This will double the factory space to 48,000 square meters, with plans to increase the annual production capacity to 1,000 units by the end of this year. Plan of eVTOL Production Base in Hefei In February 2025, EHang announced a strategic partnership with JAC Motors and Guoxian Holdings to jointly build a state-of-the-art eVTOL production base in Hefei. The new facility will integrate automation, standardization, and scale production to meet rising demand and accelerate the commercialization of the low-altitude economy. EH216-S Flights at Shanghai eVTOL Operation Center In January 2025, the Company's client conducted trial flights of the EH216-S at an eVTOL operation center located at Longhua Airport on Shanghai's Xuhui Riverside. Luohu UAM Exhibition and Experience Center launched in Shenzhen for EH216-S Tourism Flights In January 2025, the Company's client launched the Luohu UAM Exhibition and Experience Center in Shenzhen's Luohu Sports and Leisure Park. This innovative hub, featuring an automated multi-level smart vertiport for EH216-S operations, sets a new standard for urban low-altitude infrastructure and tourism. International Expansion: EH216-S Flights in Mexico and Spain With the support of local customers and partners, EH216-S made its flights in Benidorm, Spain in February and in Mexico in March, expanding EHang's global presence to 19 countries. Academic and Industry Collaboration In February 2025, EHang established the Aerospace and Intelligent Manufacturing Committee of the Tsinghua University Alumni Association in Guangzhou to foster a low-altitude economy innovation ecosystem in the Greater Bay Area. In March 2025, EHang signed an MoU with the University of Zaragoza (Spain) and the University of Guangzhou to create the Joint Laboratory for Low-Altitude Flight Safety. Low-Altitude Infrastructure Development with CCIT and CCCC-FHDI In May 2025, EHang expanded its partnership with CCIT and CCCC-FHDI to jointly develop coastal and river-based low-altitude infrastructure. The collaboration will focus on six strategic areas, including infrastructure planning, marine low-altitude economy models, national low-altitude tourism zones, intelligent logistics corridors, service complexes, and international Belt and Road cooperation. Management Remarks Mr. Huazhi Hu, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of EHang: 'In the first quarter of 2025, EHang reached a defining moment in our path toward commercial urban air mobility. The official issuance of Air Operator Certificates to EH216-S operators by the CAAC marked the approval for commercial human-carrying pilotless eVTOL flight services in China, a significant milestone for both EHang and the low-altitude economy, making urban air mobility accessible to the public. In parallel, we are excited that our next-gen VT35, a long-range lift-and-cruise pilotless eVTOL model, is progressing into type certification process by the CAAC. This model will expand our product portfolio beyond the EH216 series in urban air mobility, enabling broader application scenarios in long-range regional air mobility in the future. Looking ahead, EHang will continue to push the boundaries of innovation and expand our commercial operations gradually. We are confident in our ability to shape the future of air mobility and maintain our leadership in this sector.' Mr. Conor Yang, Chief Financial Officer of EHang: 'In the first quarter of 2025, we recorded a revenue decline, primarily due to the timing of customer procurement plans aligning with the issuance of the first OCs at the end of March. However, we are encouraged by the rebound in the second quarter, with sales and deliveries ramping up. Against the backdrop of recent geopolitical tensions and global market volatility, our operations have not been impacted by tariff measures. We are also exploring potential options for a listing outside the United States, in addition to our existing primary listing on Nasdaq.' Unaudited Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2025Total revenues were RMB26.1 million (US$3.6 million), compared with RMB61.7 million in the first quarter of 2024, and RMB164.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily driven by decreased sales volume of EH216 series of revenues were RMB9.8 million (US$1.4 million), compared with RMB23.5 million in the first quarter of 2024 and RMB64.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases were in line with the decrease in the sales volume of EH216 series profit was RMB16.3 million (US$2.2 million), compared with RMB38.2 million in the first quarter of 2024, and RMB99.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases were primarily due to the decrease in the sales volume of EH216 series margin was 62.4%, representing a 0.5 percentage points increase from 61.9% in the first quarter of 2024, and a 1.7 percentage points increase from 60.7% in the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter increases were mainly due to higher average selling price of EH216 series operating expenses were RMB110.9 million (US$15.3 million), compared with RMB107.7 million in the first quarter of 2024, and RMB162.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Sales and marketing expenses were RMB12.2 million (US$1.7 million), compared with RMB20.2 million in the first quarter of 2024, and RMB36.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases were mainly attributable to decreased sales-related compensation and lower share-based compensation expenses due to a certain portion of share-based awards vested in 2024. General and administrative expenses were RMB61.4 million (US$8.5 million), compared with RMB49.7 million in the first quarter of 2024, and RMB69.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was mainly attributable to increased employee compensation and related share-based compensation expenses due to new grant of share-based awards in the fourth quarter of 2024. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly attributable to lower share-based compensation expenses due to a certain portion of share-based awards vested in the fourth quarter of 2024. Research and development expenses were RMB37.3 million (US$5.1 million), compared with RMB37.8 million in the first quarter of 2024, and RMB56.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases were mainly attributable to lower share-based compensation expenses due to a certain portion of share-based awards vested in loss was RMB89.9 million (US$12.4 million), compared with RMB65.8 million in the first quarter of 2024, and RMB56.0 million in the fourth quarter of loss was RMB78.4 million (US$10.8 million), compared with RMB63.4 million in the first quarter of 2024, and RMB46.9 million in the fourth quarter of and diluted net loss per ordinary share were both RMB0.54 (US$0.07). Basic and diluted net loss per ADS were both RMB1.08 (US$0.14).Cash and cash equivalents, restricted short-term deposits and short-term investments balances were RMB1,114.4 million (US$153.6 million) as of March 31, 2025. Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company uses adjusted operating expenses, adjusted sales and marketing expenses, adjusted general and administrative expenses, adjusted research and development expenses, adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders, adjusted basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per ordinary share and adjusted basic and diluted net earnings (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 item of share-based compensation expenses, 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 operating expenses4 (non-GAAP) were RMB63.6 million (US$8.8 million), compared with RMB54.5 million in the first quarter of 2024, and RMB78.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Turbulence for Joby Shares: What's Behind the Recent Dip?
Joby Aviation's recent stock dip due to insider sales and sector concerns may offer an entry point given its solid progress and analyst support. This story originally appeared on MarketBeat [content-module:CompanyOverview|NYSE:JOBY] Joby Aviation (NYSE: JOBY) stock has seen more than average volatility recently, and the movement has captured investor attention. The eVTOL company's shares have fallen almost 9% in the last five trading days and have generally traded near their 50-day low for a while now. This negative stock performance follows news of CEO Joeben Bevirt's recent share sale, which was perceived as large by market participants. Additionally, broader uncertainty in the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) sector, possibly worsened by negative news about competitors, may be impacting investor sentiment. Recent price drops in Joby's stock price raise a critical question for investors: do company-specific fundamental weaknesses drive these declines, or are they primarily a result of broader market concerns and insider activity, thus presenting a potential investment opportunity? Understanding Joby's Recent CEO Share Sale Joby Aviation CEO Joeben Bevirt's sale of 101,652 shares on May 14 at an average of $6.66, generating roughly $677,000, has garnered investor attention. While insider sales by CEOs can cause concern, this transaction involved only 0.17% of Bevirt's total Joby Aviation holdings. He still retains over 60.5 million shares, valued at around $403 million at the time of the sale, indicating a substantial ongoing financial stake in the company's long-term success. Executive compensation in growth-focused technology and aerospace firms often heavily relies on equity. In 2023, stock awards represented about 85% of Bevirt's total compensation. Consequently, periodic stock sales by executives usually reflect personal financial management needs, such as covering tax obligations from vested stock or options, diversifying their portfolios, or accessing liquidity for personal investments. Considering the small proportion of shares sold and typical compensation structures for founder-CEOs in this industry, Bevirt's recent transaction likely reflects routine financial planning rather than a negative view of Joby Aviation's future. The Archer Effect? Assessing Joby's Resilience The urban air mobility sector is vulnerable to sentiment shifts driven by news from key players. Negative attention on Archer Aviation (NYSE: ACHR) due to a short-seller report alleging milestone misrepresentation could create a contagion effect, causing investors to apply concerns to the entire eVTOL industry broadly. For Joby Aviation investors, it's important to distinguish between this sector-wide sentiment and Joby's specific progress and fundamentals. The allegations against Archer are company-specific, with no similar indications for Joby. Joby has demonstrated tangible achievements, including over 40,000 test flight miles, routine piloted full transition flights (which were documented in detail on the company's social media outlets), and steady FAA certification progress (43% on FAA side, 62% on Joby side as of May 5th), and simultaneous flights of two aircraft. Another negative dragging Joby's stock price down is the Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) downgrade in April, citing broader aerospace concerns like tariffs and supply chain issues, which contributed to sector-wide caution. While Morgan Stanley's analyst had valid long-term concerns, the immediate impact on Joby, in its pre-mass-production stage, is likely less significant than for established aerospace manufacturers. Consequently, while increased sector scrutiny is expected, discerning investors should focus on Joby's individual performance and unique strengths. Is Joby's Current Price a Buying Opportunity? [content-module:Forecast|NYSE:JOBY] Despite the recent dip in Joby Aviation's stock price, a strong long-term investment case can be made. This decline could be a strategic entry point or accumulation point for investors. The market's negative sentiment seems to be overreacting to CEO share sales and competitor problems that don't necessarily reflect issues within Joby itself. Joby continues to make substantial, verifiable progress in the execution of its development strategy, and most Wall Street analysts remain optimistic, predicting significant price appreciation. While pre-revenue eVTOL sector risks like profitability timelines and regulation exist, Joby's progress and strategy are solid. For investors who can distinguish between market fluctuations, sector-wide concerns, and Joby's execution, the stock's recent drop to near technical support levels presents an attractive opportunity to invest in a potential urban air mobility leader. Upcoming milestones, such as FAA TIA progress and Dubai aircraft delivery and operations, could improve market sentiment and reward entering investors for their investment bravery. Seeing Joby Aviation Through the Noise While the stock chart for Joby Aviation may reflect recent turbulence, a deeper look reveals a company consistently achieving critical operational and technical milestones on its path to commercializing urban air mobility. When viewed against substantial remaining holdings and common executive financial practices, the context surrounding recent CEO share sales appears less alarming than initial headlines might suggest. Similarly, sector-wide sentiment shifts stemming from competitor issues should be carefully distinguished from Joby's demonstrable progress and strong partner validations. With a majority of analysts maintaining a positive outlook and significant price target upside, and with tangible progress towards key commercialization goals, Joby Aviation's current stock price warrants careful consideration by investors focused on the long-term transformative potential of the UAM sector.
