Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2025
Revenues
Total revenues were RMB22,019 million (US$3,034 million) for the first quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 1.1% from RMB21,781 million for the first quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 37.8% from RMB35,377 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.Revenues from vehicle sales were RMB19,096 million (US$2,631 million) for the first quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 16.1% from RMB16,450 million for the first quarter of 2024, and a decrease of 38.4% from RMB31,015 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was attributable to the increase in new model delivery volume, partially offset by the lower average selling price due to changes in product mix and pricing strategy between the two quarters. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in delivery volume, which was affected by seasonal factors.Revenues from other sales and services were RMB2,923 million (US$403 million) for the first quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 45.2% from RMB5,331 million for the first quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 33.0% from RMB4,362 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to the decreased sales volume and unit price of battery packs and electric drives. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly due to a decrease in sales of R&D services to our related parties and reduced OEM production volumes at Lynk & Co’s manufacturing facilities in the first quarter of 2025.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin
Cost of revenues was RMB17,806 million (US$2,454 million) for the first quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 2.4% from RMB18,236 million for the first quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 38.6% from RMB29,012 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The slight year-over-year decrease was primarily attributable to the ongoing vehicle cost-saving initiatives, partially offset by increased vehicle deliveries, as well as reductions stemming from lower sales of battery packs and other components. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly due to the reduced vehicle delivery volume combined with sustained vehicle cost-saving initiatives.Gross profit was RMB4,213 million (US$580 million) for the first quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 18.8% from RMB3,545 million for the first quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 33.8% from RMB6,365 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.Gross margin was 19.1% for the first quarter of 2025, compared with 16.3% for the first quarter of 2024 and 18.0% for the fourth quarter of 2024. Vehicle margin was 16.5% for the first quarter of 2025, compared with 13.1% for the first quarter of 2024 and 14.3% for the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter increases were primarily attributed to sustained cost-saving initiatives, partly offset by the lower average selling price of vehicles.
Operating Expenses
Research and development expenses were RMB2,908 million (US$401 million) for the first quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 25.0% from RMB2,326 million for the first quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 25.6% from RMB3,910 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was mainly attributable to incremental costs associated with the development of our new vehicle platform. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly driven by accelerated progressing of R&D projects in Q4 2024 to align with the 2025 product launch timelines.Selling, general and administrative expenses were RMB2,645 million (US$364 million) for the first quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 9.2% from RMB2,913 million for the first quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 35.8% from RMB4,123 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases were mainly attributable to higher marketing and advertising expenses to support new vehicle model launches in Q1 2024 and Q4 2024, as well as stringent cost discipline implemented under the Company’s 2025 efficiency enhancement program.
Loss from Operations
Loss from operations was RMB1,259 million (US$174 million) for the first quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 25.7% from RMB1,694 million for the first quarter of 2024 and an increase of 16.3% from RMB1,083 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.Non-GAAP loss from operations, which excludes share-based compensation expenses from loss from operations, was RMB1,136 million (US$157 million) for the first quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 32.8% from RMB1,691 million for the first quarter of 2024 and an increase of 14.3% from RMB994 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share attributed to ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per ADS attributed to ordinary shareholders, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. By excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, the Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business and enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects. The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making. The non-GAAP financial measures are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and when assessing the Company’s operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for net loss or other consolidated statements of comprehensive loss data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance.
For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP Results” set forth in this announcement.

As ADA Anniversary Approaches, University of Phoenix Survey Highlights AI’s Potential to Advance Accessibility in Work and Learning
Published
47 minutes agoon
July 24, 2026By
Survey conducted by The Harris Poll on behalf of University of Phoenix finds among those already using AI in the workplace, 60% say AI has improved their knowledge of and ability to use accessibility standards and guidelines.
PHOENIX, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As artificial intelligence becomes part of how people work, learn and solve problems, a new University of Phoenix survey conducted by The Harris Poll finds that recent working learners see meaningful opportunities for AI to support accessibility. The survey was designed to understand the impact of AI in the workplace and learning environments on accessibility, defined as ensuring digital content, tools and resources, including AI tools and output, are usable by people with different abilities through inclusive design, use of assistive technology or conformance with accessibility standards, such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). The findings are being released ahead of the 36th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 26.
The survey, conducted among 1,019 U.S. employed adults who completed a professionally presented training or school course in the past 12 months (“recent working learners”), found that, among workers already using AI in the workplace, 3 in 5 (60%) say AI has improved their knowledge of and ability to use accessibility standards and guidelines, including nearly 1 in 5 (19%) who report significant improvement.
While the findings point to optimism about AI’s accessibility potential, they also reveal an opportunity for clearer organizational guidance: 45% of respondents say accessibility is absent from, unclear in, or they are uncertain whether it is covered by their workplace AI policies.
“The reality is that accessibility benefits everyone,” shares Kelly Hermann, Vice President of Accessibility and Student Affairs at University of Phoenix. “If accessibility is built in from the beginning, organizations are more likely to create AI-enabled environments that are universally usable. Clearer content, better summaries, accurate captions, and multiple formats can help workers and learners with disabilities, but they also help busy adults, multilingual learners, mobile users, and anyone trying to absorb information quickly.”
Key findings from the survey include:
Workers see AI’s accessibility potential: 89% of recent working learners identify workflows that could benefit from AI and accessibility tools, especially creating accessible documents, presentations, websites or learning materials (38%), presenting information in different formats such as plain language, audio, summaries or translations (33%), and training employees or learners on accessibility practices (30%).AI may help build accessibility awareness: Among those already using AI in the workplace, 60% say AI has improved their knowledge of and ability to use accessibility standards and guidelines.Accessibility is not always clear in workplace AI policies: 45% of recent working learners say accessibility is absent from, unclear in, or they are uncertain whether it is covered by their workplace AI policies.AI tools may not yet fully support different access needs: Among those who use workplace AI tools, only about a quarter of survey respondents (27%) say AI tools available through their workplace or professional learning environment support people with disabilities very well.Human oversight remains important: 36% of recent working learners say human review for important decisions or high-impact work should be part of responsible AI use at work or school.Workers also recognize how AI and accessibility can have an impact on their own career journey: 90% of recent working learners identify AI and accessibility skills that would be valuable in their current or desired career field, including 45% who see value in understanding when AI-generated content needs human review.
Why accessibility is essential to responsible AI adoption
As AI tools are used to draft documents, summarize information, generate captions and transcripts, create image descriptions, support learning and assist with workplace tasks, accessibility becomes central to responsible use. Poorly implemented AI can also create or amplify barriers, including inaccessible content, inaccurate summaries, biased outputs and tools that do not work effectively with assistive technologies.
“Responsible AI is not only about productivity,” Hermann said. “It is about whether the technology works for the people who need to use it. AI can help create more accessible materials and more flexible ways to engage with information, but it still requires clear policies, practical training and human judgment to make sure the outputs are accurate, applicable and usable.”
What the findings mean for employers and educators
The survey suggests that organizations have an opportunity to align AI adoption with supportive design, accessibility practices and workforce training. Employers and educators can take immediate steps by:
Naming accessibility directly in AI policies and guidance.Choosing AI tools with accessibility and assistive technology compatibility in mind.Training workers and learners to create, check and improve accessible AI-generated content.Making support pathways clear for people who experience barriers using AI tools.Keeping human review in place for important decisions, high-impact work and accessibility-sensitive outputs.
The survey also found workers want practical AI training. The most helpful resources identified by recent working learners include real-world examples from their field or industry (36%), hands-on practice using realistic workplace scenarios (34%) and step-by-step demonstrations of common tasks (33%).
Accessibility insights from University of Phoenix
Hermann shared the survey findings ahead of the ADA anniversary in recent media interviews. Hermann oversees the University’s accessibility initiative, including evaluation and remediation of curricular resources, the Center for Access, Resources, Engagement and Support Services (CARES), and the Office of Collaborative Learning and Educational Engagement. Her work focuses on fostering accessible and welcoming educational environments for students, faculty and staff.
Hermann’s office at University of Phoenix also convenes accessibility conversations through initiatives such as Access Amplified™, a free, annual virtual event focused on advancing digital accessibility in web development. The event brings together engineers, developers, designers, content authors and digital strategists for practical strategies and human-centered conversations that address the gap between coding practices and how users with assistive technology experience the web.
About the survey
The survey was conducted online within the United States by The Harris Poll on behalf of University of Phoenix from June 22–29, 2026, among 1,019 employed adults ages 18 and older who have taken a professionally presented training or a school course in the past 12 months, referred to as “recent working learners.” Data were weighted where necessary by age, gender, race/ethnicity, region, education, employment, marital status, household size, household income and smoking status to bring them in line with their actual proportions in the population.
Respondents for this survey were selected from among those who have agreed to participate in surveys. The sampling precision of Harris online polls is measured by using a Bayesian credible interval. For this study, the sample data is accurate to within +/- 3.8 percentage points using a 95% confidence level. This credible interval will be wider among subsets of the surveyed population of interest.
