(“EHang General Aviation”), EHang’s wholly-owned subsidiary specializing in UAM operation services, and Hefei Heyi Aviation Co., Ltd. (“Heyi Aviation”), a joint venture company formed by EHang General Aviation in Hefei. As the world's first OC project for pilotless passenger-carrying eVTOL aircraft, it is paving the way for creating the world's first commercial operation standard, laying a solid foundation for EH216-S commercial operations in China. Currently, the CAAC review team has completed the review of the required application documents, and next will conduct operational site review in Hefei. The Company anticipates the first OC to be obtained within this year. In addition, EHang is supporting its customers and partners in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Taiyuan, and Wuxi to actively prepare for their own OC applications, so as to accelerate the launching of EH216-S commercial operations and low-altitude economy demonstration projects in more cities across China.
- Formed Strategic Partnership with China Southern Airlines General Aviation for Collaborative eVTOL Operations
In June 2024, EHang signed a strategic MoU with China Southern Airlines General Aviation Company Limited, a Chinese leading general aviation service provider and a strategic emerging business unit of China Southern Airlines Company Limited. The partnership will center on flight operations, comprehensive support, and other aspects of EHang’s pilotless eVTOLs to jointly cultivate innovative solutions for low-altitude economy. The two parties plan to establish EH216-S operation demonstration sites for low-altitude tourism at the Zhuhai Jiuzhou Airport and the Zhuhai Chimelong Ocean Kingdom, among other popular tourist destinations in Zhuhai, with the aim to launch routine low-altitude flight services and experiential activities.
- Expansion in Middle East Market: Strategic Collaboration with MLG and ADIO in UAE, Debut Flights in UAE and Saudi Arabia
In April 2024, EHang signed a trilateral agreement with Multi Level Group (“MLG”), a leading fintech Company in the Middle East and North Africa (“MENA”) region, and the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (“ADIO”) to drive autonomous eVTOL development in the UAE and beyond.
In May 2024, EHang successfully completed the first passenger-carrying autonomous eVTOL flight in Abu Dhabi with its EH216-S, as well as debut flights with the EH216-F high-rise firefighting model and the EH216-L aerial logistics model, following its initial delivery of the 5 units of EH216 series eVTOL products to Wings Logistics Hub, the passenger eVTOLs (smart mobility) and logistics tech subsidiary of Technology Holding Company, being the technology arm of EIH Ethmar International Holding in the first quarter of 2024.
In June 2024, EH216-S further completed its first autonomous air taxi flight in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Partnering with EHang’s customer Front End Limited Company (“Front End”), a Saudi-based enterprise specializing in advanced solutions for various industries, this flight highlighted the transformative potential of pilotless eVTOL aircraft for the region’s transportation system.
- Formed Strategic Partnership with GBT to Jointly Develop World’s First Ultra-Fast/eXtreme Fast Charging Battery Solutions for EHang’s eVTOL Products
In April 2024, EHang established a strategic partnership with Guangzhou Greater Bay Technology Co., Ltd. (“GBT”), a Chinese leading ultra-fast charging battery provider incubated by Guangzhou Automobile Group, for the research and development of the world’s first Ultra-Fast Charging (“UFC”)/eXtreme Fast Charging (“XFC”) battery solutions for EHang’s eVTOL products. EHang and GBT will jointly develop eVTOL power cells, batteries, packs, charging piles and energy storage systems that meet the airworthiness standards of the CAAC as well as the “4H” standards (i.e., high energy density, high cycle life, high instantaneous charge-discharge rate, and high safety), and further develop fast-charging piles, stations and other infrastructures to establish an ecosystem for future commercial operations.
Management Remarks
Mr. Huazhi Hu, EHang’s Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are excited to report another quarter of robust growth in both operational and financial metrics. The obtainment of three certifications for the EH216-S enables us to expedite our production and deliveries, which, together with enhanced government initiatives for advancing the low-altitude economy, have led to a substantial increase in demands and orders from various domestic and international customers that include governments and tourism operators. As a result, we delivered a record 49 units of EH216-S during the quarter, driving exceptional revenue growth as well as inked hundreds-of-units purchase orders and pre-orders for EH216-S in China. Moreover, our global expansion was also gaining momentum with the extension of our partnership network in the Middle East and the successful debut flights of our pilotless eVTOLs in the UAE and Saudi Arabia in the second quarter.
With an integrated business strategy of sales and operations, we also made great progress in fast-tracking UAM commercial operation preparations for our customers after sales in terms of personnel training, infrastructure development, operation standard and certification. The CAAC has formally accepted the OC applications submitted by EHang General Aviation and Heyi Aviation. Besides, our customers and partners in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Taiyuan, and Wuxi are also actively preparing for OC applications, with goals for accelerating the launch of commercial EH216-S operations and low-altitude economy demonstration projects across local cities.
We are committed to launching commercial operations of EH216-S in the near future, which will usher in a new phase of growth focused on intra-city mobility. At the same time, we will meet diversified UAM demand through ongoing research, development and testing of advanced technologies, upgraded components and new models, such as our lift-and-cruise eVTOL designed for inter-city mobility. We will leverage our cutting-edge eVTOL technologies and strong low-altitude industry leadership to provide secure, and low-carbon autonomous arial vehicles to more customers globally.”
Mr. Conor Yang, EHang’s Chief Financial Officer, stated, “Thanks to our industry-leading eVTOL products, certifications and supportive government policies, we continued delivering excellent financial results and beat our guidance again. Notably, our second-quarter revenue surged 919.6% year-over-year to RMB102.0 million, demonstrating strong demand for our advanced EH216-S pilotless eVTOL vehicles and robust growth potentials.
We are thrilled that we achieved adjusted net income3 in the second quarter, and maintained positive operating cash flow for the third consecutive quarter, adding strength to our financial condition. In addition, our cash position continues to strengthen as the Company has raised RMB554.1 million (US$76.2 million) through the at-the-market equity offering, so we will not continue selling ADSs under the at-the-market program for the remainder of 2024. We are confident that our capital and strategic preparation for commercial operations along with our core strengths position us well for sustaining this upward momentum and continuing our expansion.”

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 loss, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders, adjusted basic and diluted earnings (loss) per ordinary share and adjusted basic and diluted 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 items of (i) share-based compensation expenses and (ii) certain non-operational expenses, such as amortization of debt discounts, 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 release.
