Chinese electric vehicle maker XPeng posted a fourth-quarter loss that was narrower than analysts’ expectations.
XPeng incurred a loss of -$202 million in the quarter, or -22 cents on an adjusted per-share basis, compared to -33 cents a share anticipated by analysts polled by FactSet.
Revenue for the quarter came in at $1.34 billion.
The gross profit margin on XPeng’s vehicle business fell to 10.9% in the fourth quarter from 13.6% in the third quarter, amid higher costs due to supply chain issues and rising commodity prices. But it was still a substantial improvement over the 3.5% vehicle margin in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Global chip shortages kept XPeng’s EVs in relatively short supply amid high demand, thereby giving the company some additional pricing power against rising costs.
The company expects to deliver between 33,500 and 34,000 vehicles this quarter, implying a growth of more than 150% compared to the first quarter of 2021.
CEO He Xiaopeng said that the company is working to further ramp up production further in 2022. XPeng is expecting to deliver more than 10,000 of its flagship P7 sedans in a single month, and is hoping that its new P5 sedan would deliver similar production numbers later this year.
