SEC filingXPeng delivered a pivotal year with revenue up 87.7% to $76.7B and net cash from operations turning strongly positive at $8.26B — reflecting scale-driven operational momentum and government subsidy support — while operating losses narrowed significantly despite continued strategic investment.
Gross profit more than doubled to $14.5B, with gross margin reaching 18.9%. Management has consistently linked gross margin performance to supply chain dynamics and production scale: 'Our supply chain affects our cost of sales and gross margin, and we expect to reduce bill-of-material cost, as we ramp up production volume and achieve economies of scale.' This qualitative linkage is directly supported by the observed improvement and remains the only authorized explanation for the margin expansion.
Operating income improved to -$2.8B from -$6.7B, a 58.4% YoY improvement. While the financial statements do not isolate drivers, management’s stated objective — 'to improve operating efficiency in every aspect of our business, such as product development, supply chain, manufacturing, sales and marketing, as well as service offerings' — provides the appropriate contextual anchor. This progress occurred alongside higher absolute R&D and SG&A spend, underscoring discipline in non-investment expense categories.
