Featuring enhanced intelligence and functionality, our new models launched in the first half of 2025 demonstrated our commitment to smart technology. In addition, we expanded our domestic retail network to over 4,300 stores in China, reinforcing our growth strategy in the domestic market.”

 

Dr. Li continued, “In overseas markets, our electric motorcycles continued their steady recovery throughout the first half, in line with our overseas strategy. Meanwhile, sales in the micromobility segment softened due to ongoing geopolitical and economic uncertainties.”

§ E-scooter sales revenues from China market were RMB 1,056.9 million, an increase of 45.4% year-over-year, and represented 91.1% of total e-scooter revenues. The increase was mainly due to a significant increase in sales volume, partially offset by a slight decrease in revenues per e-scooter in China market.
§ E-scooter sales revenues from international markets were RMB 103.1 million, a decrease of 20.9% year-over-year, and represented 8.9% of total e-scooter revenues. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in sales volume and revenues per e-scooter of kick-scooters in international markets.
§ Accessories, spare parts sales and services revenues were RMB 95.7 million, an increase of 15.3% year-over-year, and represented 7.6% of total revenues. The increase was mainly due to an increase in accessories and spare parts sales in China market.
§ Revenues per e-scooter was RMB 3,587, a decrease of 2.3% year-over-year, mainly due to decreased revenues per e-scooter in China market, partially offset by increased revenues per e-scooter in international markets.

 

Cost of revenues was RMB 1,003.2 million, an increase of 28.5% year-over-year, in line with the growth trend of revenues. The cost per e-scooter, defined as cost of revenues divided by the number of e-scooters sold in a specific period, was RMB 2,866, a decrease of 6.0% from RMB 3,048 in the second quarter of 2024. This decrease was mainly due to changes in product mix, along with the cost-reduction impact in China market.

§ Research and development expenses were RMB 43.7 million (including RMB 2.8 million of share-based compensation), an increase of 35.5% from RMB 32.3 million in the second quarter of 2024, mainly due to a RMB 6.1 million increase in staff cost and share-based compensation, as well as a RMB 4.9 million increase in design and testing expenses.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

To supplement NIU’s consolidated financial results presented in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), NIU uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) margin. 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. NIU believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of its operating results. The Company 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 NIU’s historical performance. The Company 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 financial measures is that these non-GAAP measures exclude certain items that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant component in the Company’s results of operations. These 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.

 

Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses. Adjusted net income (loss) margin is defined as adjusted net income (loss) as a percentage of the revenues.

 

For more information on non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned “Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results”.
