Our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by RMB6.5 million from RMB414.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB408.3 million (US$56.2 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily attributable to improved operating efficiencies, partially offset by higher share-based compensation expenses.
Other income. Our other income decreased from RMB7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to nil for the same period in 2023, as we discontinued our support service to a related party.
Loss from operation
As a result of the foregoing, we had a loss from operation of RMB485.6 million (US$66.8 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2024, in comparison with a loss from operation of RMB376.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Interest income
Our interest income decreased by RMB6.7 million from RMB17.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB11.2 million (US$1.5 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily because the average cash deposit balance decreased by 49% compared to June 30, 2023 and the high interest rate deposit contract was terminated in May 2023. We recognized RMB5.0 million for this high interest rate product for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Interest expenses
Our interest expenses increased by RMB7.3 million from RMB38.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB45.5 million (US$6.3 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the increase in the amount of loans taken for working capital and general corporate purpose.
Income (loss) from equity method investments
Our loss from equity method investments increased by RMB42.2 million from RMB25.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB67.6 million (US$9.3 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This was mainly because of significant research and development expenses incurred by the new joint venture with smart in the first half of 2024, and increased loss picked up from an equity method investee.
Other non-operating (expenses) income, net
The components of Other non-operating (expenses) income, net have been discussed below:
Change in fair value of an equity security
We recorded losses in fair value of an equity security of RMB27.4 million (US$3.8 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to gains of RMB27.7 million for the same period in 2023. The change was mainly affected by the market prices of this listed equity security (Luminar Technologies, Inc.).
Unrealized gains on equity securities
We did not record any unrealized gains on equity securities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024.
Change in fair value of warrant liabilities
We recorded losses in fair value of warrant liabilities of RMB0.2 million (US$0.03 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to gains of RMB4.8 million for the same period in 2023.
Change in fair value of derivative financial assets
We recorded gains in fair value of derivative financial assets of RMB16.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to nil for the same period in 2024.
Government grants
For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, we received government grants totaling RMB2.7 million and RMB9.2 million (US$1.3 million), respectively, as a result of subsidies received for investment in the operations, research and development activities and government incentives for foreign capital investment in a specified industry.
Foreign currency exchange loss, net
We recorded foreign currency exchange loss, net of RMB4.5 million (US$0.6 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to losses of RMB34.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.The net change in foreign currency exchange loss was primarily attributable to fluctuations in exchange rates between U.S. dollar and RMB.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use adjusted EBITDA in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. We define adjusted EBITDA as net loss excluding interest income, interest expense, income tax expenses, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, and share-based compensation expenses.
We present this non-GAAP financial measure because it is used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. We believe that adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that are included in net loss. We also believe
that the use of this non-GAAP measure facilitates investors’ assessment of our operating performance and provides useful information about our operating results and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision making.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to net loss or any other measures of performance or as indicators of our operating performance. Investors are encouraged to compare our historical adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net loss. Adjusted adjusted EBITDA 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 our data. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Net cash provided by financing activities | 231,972 | | | 749,000 | | | 103,066 | |
To date, we have funded our operating and investing activities primarily through cash generated from financing activities (including credit facilities).
In January 2023, we entered into a loan agreement with Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd for the principal amount of RMB300 million due on October 7, 2023, with interest payable quarterly and at the rate of 4.1% per annum. The term of the loan was subsequently extended to June 30, 2024, and the interest rate was reduced to 3.9% per annum during the extended period. In June 2024, the principal amount of RMB100 million and interest were repaid, the term of the loan (including the outstanding amount of RMB200 million) was extended to June 30, 2025, and the interest rate of 3.9% per annum remained unchanged.
In March 2024, we entered into an accounts receivable factoring agreement with a finance company within the Geely Group for a total principal amount of RMB149 million due on October 8, 2024, with interest payable quarterly and at the rate of 6% per annum. We received RMB100 million in March 2024 and RMB49 million in May 2024, respectively.
In April 2024, we were granted an additional credit line of RMB120 million from Shanghai Pudong Development Bank. We entered into two one-year term loan agreements with Shanghai Pudong Development Bank for a total principal amount of RMB85 million in April 2024, and RMB35 million in May 2024, respectively. The loans bear interest at loan prime rate of one-year term grade plus 0.55% per annum.
In May 2024, we entered into a one-year term loan agreement with Industrial Bank for a principal amount of RMB180 million bearing interest at loan prime rate of one-year term grade plus 0.45% per annum.
In June 2024, we were granted an additional credit line of RMB180 million for one year from Industrial Bank and we entered into a one-year term loan agreement with Industrial Bank for a principal amount of RMB180 million bearing interest at loan prime rate of one-year term grade plus 0.45% per annum.
In June 2024, we obtained a one-year loan of RMB100 million from China Everbright Bank, with interest at loan prime rate of one-year term grade plus 0.55% per annum.
We have incurred losses since its inception. As of June 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of RMB7,241.2 million and its consolidated current liabilities exceeded current assets in the amount of RMB1,605.0 million. In addition, we recorded net cash used in operating activities in the amount of RMB416.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. We will require additional liquidity to continue its operations over the next 12 months.
Historically, we had relied principally on proceeds from the issuance of redeemable convertible preferred shares and bank borrowings to finance its operations and business expansion. Since the consummation of the Business Combination on December 20, 2022, we have funded our operations principally through short-term borrowings from banks and related parties and long-term convertible notes. We have evaluated plans to continue as a going concern which include, but are not limited to, (i) reducing discretionary capital and operating expenses, (ii) obtaining additional facilities from banks and renewal of existing bank borrowings, (iii) obtaining extended financial support from controlling shareholder and related parties, (iv) accelerating pace of collections of amounts due from related and third parties to optimize operational efficiency, and (v) exploring opportunities for further equity financing. Notwithstanding this, feasibility of some of these plans is contingent upon factors outside of the control of us and as such we concluded that substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern has not been alleviated as of the reporting date.
In the event that additional financing is required from third party sources, we may not be able to raise it on acceptable terms or at all. See “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry—Our business plans require a significant amount of capital. In addition, our future capital needs may require us to sell additional equity or debt securities that may dilute our shareholders or introduce covenants that may restrict our operations or our ability to pay dividends” in our 2023 Annual Report. The issuance and sale of additional equity would also result in further dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increasing fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that would restrict our operations.
We had cash and restricted cash of RMB787.8 million (US$108.4 million) as of June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, RMB749.4 million (US$103.1 million) of our cash and cash equivalents were held in China and RMB732.8 million (US$100.8 million) were denominated in Renminbi. Substantially all of our revenues have been, and we expect them to continue to be, denominated in Renminbi in the short-term. Under existing foreign exchange regulations in mainland China, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior SAFE approval as long as certain routine procedural requirements are fulfilled. Therefore, our mainland China subsidiaries are allowed to pay dividends in foreign currencies to us without prior SAFE approval by following certain routine procedural requirements. However, approval from or registration with competent authorities is required where the Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of mainland China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies. The PRC government may at its discretion restrict access to foreign currencies for current account transactions in the future. Economic uncertainty in China and around the world could also adversely affect our liquidity and capital resources in the future, and our cash requirements may fluctuate based on the timing and extent of many factors such as those discussed above.
Operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities decreased by RMB543.6 million from RMB960.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB416.8 million (US$57.4 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the improvement in our management of working capital and our cash conversion cycle.
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was RMB416.8 million, as compared to a net loss of RMB610.3 million (US$84.0 million) for the same period. The difference was primarily due to adjustments
for non-cash items that primarily include share-based compensation of RMB70.9 million (US$9.8 million), as well as a decrease of RMB635.6 million (US$87.5 million) in accounts receivable from related parties, a decrease of RMB33.8 million (US$4.7 million) in accounts receivable from third parties,and an increase of RMB90.6 million (US$12.5 million) in accounts payable from related parties, partially offset by a decrease of RMB320.5million (US$44.1 million) in accounts payable from third parties and a decrease of RMB244.0 million (US$33.6 million) in other payable and accruals.
Investing activities
We recorded net cash used in investing activities of RMB142.3 million (US$19.6 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of RMB740.6 million for the same period in 2023. The different was mainly due to the collection of proceeds in January 2023 for disposal of Zenseact in December 2022 and cash paid for acquisition of Suzhou-Photon Matrix during the six-months ended June 30, 2024.
Financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities increased by RMB517.0 million from RMB232.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB749.0 million (US$103.1 million) for the same period in 2024, primarily due to additional borrowings as at June 30, 2024 from related parties and banks.
Capital expenditures
Our capital expenditures are primarily incurred for the purchase of property, equipment, and intangible assets. Our total capital expenditures were RMB48.0 million and RMB56.2 million (US$7.7 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. We will continue to make capital expenditures on our manufacturing capabilities and to meet the needs of our manufacturing activities.
Material Cash Requirements
Other than the ordinary cash requirements for our operations, research and development, and our capital expenditure, our material cash requirements as of June 30, 2024 and any subsequent interim period primarily include interest and principal payments for our borrowings from banks and related parties, operating lease commitments, purchase commitments, and capital commitments.
Our operating lease commitment primarily consists of future minimum lease commitments, all under non-cancellable operating lease agreements for our offices.
Our purchase commitment primarily related to the purchase of research and development services and intangible assets. Purchase obligations for intangible assets consist of the amount payable towards acquisition of certain software licensing rights.
Our capital commitment primarily consists of total capital expenditures contracted but not yet reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Our investment commitment represents our investment in the joint venture with smart.
We intend to fund our existing and future material cash requirements with our existing cash balance, additional loan facilities from banks, financial support from controlling shareholder, as well as renewing our existing bank loans when they fall due, as necessary, although such plans are contingent upon many factors out of our control. We will continue to make cash commitments, including capital expenditures, to support the growth of our business.
The following table sets forth our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2024.

Other than as shown above, we did not have any significant capital and other commitments, long-term obligations, or guarantees as of June 30, 2024.
Off-balance Sheets Arrangements
We have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. In addition, we have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholders’ equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity, or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk, or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging, or product development services with us.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risks
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to interest rate risk primarily relates to decrease in market interest rates as our liabilities to credit institutions, amounts due to related parties and convertible notes carry a fixed interest rate. However, due to the tenure of these borrowings, interest payment terms and the instrument features, we are not exposed to material interest rate risk arising therefrom and interest income generated by excess cash, which is mostly held in interest-bearing bank deposits, bank notes, and wealth management products. Due to the short-term tenure of our borrowings and investments, we have not been exposed to material risks due to changes in market interest rates.
We closely monitor the effects of changes in the interest rates on our interest rate risk exposures, but we have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest risk exposure.
Foreign Exchange Risk
The revenue and expenses of our entities in mainland China are generally denominated in Renminbi and their assets and liabilities are denominated in Renminbi. Our international revenues and expenses are denominated in foreign currencies and expose us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates against the Renminbi. The value of your investment in our securities will be affected by the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Renminbi because the value of our business is effectively denominated in Renminbi, while our securities will be traded in U.S. dollars.
Renminbi is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. Remittances of foreign currencies into mainland China or remittances of Renminbi out of mainland China as well as exchange between Renminbi and foreign currencies require approval by foreign exchange administrative authorities with certain supporting documentation. The State Administration for Foreign Exchange, under the authority of the People’s Bank of China, controls the conversion of Renminbi into other currencies.
The conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, is based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China. The Renminbi has fluctuated against the U.S. dollar, at times significantly and unpredictably. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate between Renminbi and the U.S. dollar in the future.
To the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the Renminbi amount we receive from the conversion. Conversely, if we decide to convert Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollars against the Renminbi would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amounts available to us.
As of June 30, 2024, we had RMB-denominated cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments of RMB743.4 million, and U.S. dollar-denominated cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments of US$20.1 million. Assuming we had converted RMB743.4 million into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of RMB7.2672 for US$1.00 as of June 28, 2024, our U.S. dollar cash balance would have been US$122.4 million. If the RMB had depreciated by 10% against the U.S. dollar, our U.S. dollar cash balance would have been US$113.1 million instead. Assuming we had converted US$20.1 million into RMB at the exchange rate of RMB7.2672 for US$1.00 as of June 28, 2024, our RMB cash balance would have been RMB889.5 million. If the RMB had depreciated by 10% against the U.S. dollar, our RMB cash balance would have been RMB904.1 million instead.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In doing so, we have to make estimates and assumptions. Our critical accounting estimates are those estimates that involve a significant level of uncertainty at the time the estimate is made, and changes in them have had or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from our estimates. We base our estimates on past experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. Please refer to our 2023 Annual Report for these estimates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share and per share data, or otherwise noted)
1. Summary of significant accounting policies
(a) Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of ECARX Holdings Inc. (“the Company”) and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Group”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared assuming the Group will continue as a going concern. The Group generated a net loss of RMB610,321 and net cash outflows from operations of RMB416,811 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the Group’s consolidated current liabilities exceeded current assets in the amount of RMB1,604,975.
The Company has evaluated plans to continue as a going concern which include, but are not limited to, (i) reducing discretionary capital and operating expenses (ii) obtaining additional facilities from banks and renewal of existing bank borrowings (iii) obtaining extended financial support from controlling shareholder and related parties (iv) accelerating pace of collections of amounts due from related and third parties to optimize operational efficiency and (v) exploring opportunities for further equity financing. Notwithstanding this, feasibility of some of these plans is contingent upon factors outside of the control of the Company and, as such, the Company concluded that substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern has not been alleviated as of the reporting date.
In the opinion of the management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position as of June 30, 2024, the results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, have been made.
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and reported revenues and expenses during the periods presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates include, but are not limited to, service period of connectivity services; expected credit losses for accounts receivable, other non-current assets and amounts due from related parties; realizability of inventories; accrual for warranty obligations; useful lives and recoverability of property, equipment and intangible assets and right-of-use assets; recoverability of long-term investments; valuation allowance of deferred tax assets; fair values of share-based compensation awards, fair values of intangible assets acquired in an asset acquisition, fair value of convertible notes payables, warrant liabilities, incremental borrowing rates of the Group’s leases. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in these estimates to be revised. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and as such, differences may be material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
(b) A combination between entities under common control
Acquisition of controlling interest in HF Tech Europe AB (“HF EU”)
On June 30, 2024, Ecarx Sweden AB. (“Ecarx SE”) acquired all issued and outstanding shares of HF Tech Europe AB (“HF EU”), an entity under common control, at a purchase consideration of SEK16,111 (equivalent to RMB10,854), which is subject to working capital adjustments and will be settled in December 2024. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been presented by combining assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and equity of Ecarx and HF EU using the pooling-of-interests method as if the transaction occurred at the establishment date of HF EU on January 30, 2023. All intercompany transactions and balances between the combining entities have been eliminated.
The following table summarizes the results of operations and net assets of HF EU consolidated in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The amounts are after eliminating transactions between the Group and HF EU.

(c) Asset acquisition of Suzhou Photon-Matrix Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd (“Suzhou Photon Matrix”)
On January 31, 2024, the Group entered into share purchase agreements with existing third party shareholders of Suzhou Photon- Matrix, pursuant to which the Group acquired 13.10% additional equity interest in Suzhou Photon-Matrix for a total cash consideration of RMB46,306. Prior to the transaction, the Group held 49.17% equity interest in Suzhou Photon-Matrix and accounted for the interest as an equity method investment. As a result of the transactions, the Group’s equity interest increased to 62.27%, and the Group obtained control in Suzhou Photon- Matrix. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition rather than a business combination as what the Group acquired does not include a substantive process that together with input to significantly contribute to the ability to create output. In determining the cost basis to be allocated to assets acquired, the Group measured its previously held equity interest and noncontrolling interest at their carrying values. The cost of assets acquired was allocated to the individual assets acquired or liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values.
(d) Risks and concentration
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Group to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivables, notes receivable, amounts due from related parties and non-current assets.
The Group’s policy requires cash and restricted cash to be placed with high quality financial institutions. The Group regularly evaluates the credit standing of the counterparties or financial institutions.
The Group conducts credit evaluations on its customers prior to delivery of goods or services. The assessment of customer creditworthiness is primarily based on historical collection records, research of publicly available information and customer on site visits by senior management. Based on this analysis, the Group determines what credit terms, if any, to offer to each customer individually. If the assessment indicates a likelihood of collection risk, the Group will not deliver the services or sell the products to the customer or require the customer to pay cash to secure payment or to make significant down payments.

14. Warrant liabilities
ECARX Warrants in connection with the Merger
ECARX Public Warrants are publicly traded on Nasdaq, the liability is measured at fair value using observable inputs and categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, while ECARX Private Warrant liability is measured at fair value using unobservable inputs and categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Binomial Option Pricing Model with the following key assumptions is used for estimating the fair value of ECARX Private Warrants.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| As of December 31, | | As of June 30, |
| 2023 | | 2024 |
Risk-free rate of return (%) | 3.93 | % | | 4.47 | % |

Expected dividend yield | 0.0 | % | | 0.0 | % |
Expected term | 4.0 years | | 3.5 years |
Fair value of the underlying ordinary shares | US$3.16 (equivalent to RMB22.44) | | US$2.06 (equivalent to RMB14.97) |
The risk-free rate of return was based on the yield of US Treasury Notes for the expected remaining life of the warrant liabilities. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock using a binomial lattice model based on the price of public warrant as of the valuation date. Expected dividend yield is zero as the Company does not anticipate any dividend payments in the foreseeable future. Expected term to exercise the warrant liabilities is up to December 2027. The fair value of the Company’s ordinary shares was obtained from the listed trading price of ECX.
The table below reflects the movement of ECARX Warrants for the six months ended June 30, 2024:

Expected dividend yield | 0.0 | % | | 0.0 | % |
Fair value of underlying ordinary share | US$8.02 | | US$1.64 |
Expected terms | 10 years | | 10 years |
The expected volatility was estimated based on the historical volatility of comparable peer public companies with a time horizon close to the expected term of the option awards. The risk-free interest rate was separately estimated based on the yield to maturity of U.S. Treasury bonds for a term consistent with the expected term of the options in effect at the valuation date. Expected dividend yield is zero as the Group does not anticipate any dividend payments in the foreseeable future. Expected term is the contract life of the option awards.
