SHANGHAI, China, March 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hesai Group ("Hesai" or the "Company"), (NASDAQ: HSAI), the global leader in three-dimensional light detection and ranging (lidar) solutions, today announced its unaudited financial results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2024.

Management Remarks

"In 2024, Hesai achieved a milestone year with record-breaking lidar shipments, more than doubling annually for four consecutive years, and achieving the industry's highest revenues. We also made history as the world's first lidar company to achieve full-year non-GAAP² net profits, all while further strengthening our unmatched financial leadership with solid positive operating and net cash flows³," said Yifan "David" Li, Hesai's Co-Founder and CEO. "The lidar industry is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. Our ADAS lidars offer unbeatable value-making cars safer, smarter, and more desirable. Lidar is no longer optional; it has become as essential as the 'seat belt' for intelligent driving. We are beyond excited to be awarded a new groundbreaking, exclusive design win with a top European OEM. This multi-year program will last into the next decade across both ICE and EV platforms, marking it the largest global program for the automotive lidar industry. Domestic OEMs are also driving a lidar revolution, accelerating the adoption of intelligent driving for the mass market. At the forefront of this shift is our category-defining ATX lidar, which delivers unrivaled cost performance. We're proud of the significant strides we've made, strengthening our partnership with BYD across 10+ models, securing exclusive design wins with Great Wall Motor and Changan, and forming new alliances with Chery and VOYAH. On top of that, we're riding the wave of the booming, high-margin Robotics market with our JT, QT, XT, and Pandar series lidars, driving consumer robots, robotaxis, industrial automation, and countless other Robotics applications-a truly exciting and promising opportunity ahead! As we continue to push boundaries, we anticipate explosive growth, revolutionizing mobility while creating new opportunities for efficiency and sustainability."

Mr. Andrew Fan, Hesai's CFO, added, "Our record-breaking 2024 results showcase Hesai's strength and ability to seize emerging opportunities in ADAS and Robotics. With net revenues exceeding RMB2 billion-the highest in the industry-our success was driven by the shipment of over 500,000 lidar units. We reached a groundbreaking milestone of 100,000 units shipped in December 2024 alone, with more than 20,000 of those units delivered for Robotics, underscoring the sector's massive growth potential. Most importantly, in 2024, we became the world's first lidar company to achieve full-year non-GAAP net profits of RMB14 million, marking a significant leap from our non-GAAP net loss of RMB241 million in 2023. At the same time, we further cemented our industry-leading financial strength with full-year positive operating cash flows of RMB63 million and net cash flows of RMB1.3 billion-making us the only company of our kind in the industry.

Mr. Andrew Fan continued, "Building on our momentum, we're set for an exceptional 2025! We're forecasting net revenues of RMB3.0 to 3.5 billion, with GAAP profitability expected to reach RMB200 to 350 million and non-GAAP profitability soaring to RMB350 to 500 million-an astounding 25 to 35 times our 2024 non-GAAP profits! This explosive growth not only sets the stage for unstoppable momentum, but also reinforces our path to long-term industry leadership!"

• Net revenues were RMB719.8 million (US$98.6 million) for the fourth quarter of 2024, representing an increase of 28.3% from RMB561.2 million for the same period of 2023. Product revenues were RMB701.6 million (US$96.1 million) for the fourth quarter of 2024, representing an increase of 32.3% from RMB530.5 million for the same period of 2023. The year-over-year increase was mainly attributable to increased revenues from sales of ADAS lidar products due to robust demand in China, partially offset by decreased revenues from shipments to autonomous driving customers. Service revenues were RMB18.2 million (US$2.5 million) for the fourth quarter of 2024, representing a decrease of 40.7% from RMB30.7 million for the same period of 2023. The year-over-year decrease was driven by a decline in revenue from non-recurring engineering services.
  
• Cost of revenues was RMB438.7 million (US$60.1 million) for the fourth quarter of 2024, representing an increase of 33.1% from RMB329.7 million for the same period of 2023.
  
• Gross margin was 39.0% for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared with 41.2% for the same period of 2023. The slight year-over-year decrease was due to less high-margin non-recurring engineering services performed in this quarter.
  
• Sales and marketing expenses were RMB49.1 million (US$6.7 million) for the fourth quarter of 2024, representing a decrease of 1.1% from RMB49.7 million for the same period of 2023.
  
• General and administrative expenses were RMB105.5 million (US$14.5 million) for the fourth quarter of 2024, representing a decrease of 20.9% from RMB133.4 million for the same period of 2023. The decrease was mainly driven by the decrease in credit loss of RMB25.5 million (US$3.5 million).
  
• Research and development expenses were RMB242.4 million (US$33.2 million) for the fourth quarter of 2024, representing an increase of 6.1% from RMB228.5 million for the same period of 2023. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to increased payroll expenses of RMB11.4 million (US$1.6 million) attributable to increased headcount for research and development, and increased depreciation expenses amounting to RMB9.0 million (US$1.2 million) due to increased capital expenditure on research and development activities.
  
• Income from operations was RMB106.6 million (US$14.6 million) for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared with loss from operations of RMB162.8 million for the same period of 2023. The year-over-year increase in income from operations is mainly due to increased revenues and margin driven by higher LiDAR shipment volume and increase in other operating income. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP income from operations was RMB130.0 million (US$17.8 million) for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared with non-GAAP loss from operations of RMB122.3 million for the same period of 2023.
  
• Net income was RMB147.0 million (US$20.1 million) for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared with net loss of RMB140.9 million for the same period of 2023.

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: income/loss from operation excluding share-based compensation expenses, net profit/loss excluding share-based compensation expenses, net profit/loss attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation, and per ordinary share net income/loss attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation. 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 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 financial measures is that they exclude share-based compensation expenses that have 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 financial measure. The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.
