WRD WeRide Inc

WeRide Inc. (Nasdaq: WRD) (“WeRide” or the “Company”), a global leader in autonomous driving technology, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.

Recent Highlights

WeRide continues to enhance its global market presence through thoughtful market entries and strategic expansions in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. These efforts are all made possible by the Company’s continuous technological innovation and operational expertise, both key to its leadership in autonomous driving. In 2024, WeRide achieved record-high robotaxi revenue and the strongest international revenue since the company’s inception.

WeRide Continues Technology Innovation with End-to-End Models in ADAS and Level-4 Systems

• WeRide started to deploy end-to-end models in both Level-4 driverless and ADAS systems in 2024.
• WeRide’s end-to-end model employs a large VLM (visual-language model) which is encoded with general knowledge of the world and then trained with nearly 1 million hours of carefully selected high quality driving data from human drivers and simulated driving scenarios. This approach ensures the trained model has a general understanding of the world as well as deep driving insights.
• WeRide’s training data continuously grows to cover more long tail cases via real-world and simulated data.
• Eventually, WeRide’s autonomous driving systems can perform like a seasoned professional driver in complex urban scenarios. They can bring about human-like judgment and an extremely smooth driving experience to the Company’s customers.
• In WeRide’s Level-4 driverless products, such as robotaxi and robobus, the end-to-end model is accompanied with deterministic safety critical frameworks to bring about smooth, human-like driving experience while maintaining the same high level of safety required by driverless systems. They are available in the Company’s latest version of robotaxi GXR running in multiple countries and cities.

WeRide Continues Global Expansion with Strategic Launches Across Europe, the Middle East and Asia

Robotaxi

• Expanding Commercial Robotaxi Services in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. In March 2025, WeRide announced that with the support of the Abu Dhabi Integrated Transport Centre, it is on track to further expand its collaboration with Uber in Abu Dhabi. WeRide expects the number of robotaxis to reach 50 units in mid-2025 on the Uber Platform, marking a key milestone in its fleet growth in the Middle East. This follows the initial announcement in December 2024, when WeRide and Uber launched their ride-hailing partnership in Abu Dhabi. The service is available in major areas, between Saadiyat Island, Yas Island, and routes to and from Zayed International Airport. Plans are in motion to expand the operating territory.
• Launch of Commercial Robotaxi Service in Beijing’s Core Urban Area for the First Time. In March 2025, WeRide officially obtained the permit to conduct commercial robotaxi ride-hailing services between the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area (BDA) and Beijing South Railway Station. This milestone marks the first commercial robotaxi operation covering Beijing’s core urban area.
• Latest GXR Model Starts Fully Unmanned Commercial Operations in Beijing. In February 2025, WeRide announced that it had received approval to launch its latest generation robotaxi, the GXR, for fully unmanned paid ride-hailing services in Beijing. This marks WeRide’s second robotaxi model to achieve fully driverless commercial operations in Beijing and GXR’s first large-scale commercial deployment in China.
• Launch of Strategic Robotaxi Pilot Project in Switzerland. In January 2025, WeRide was selected as the technology provider for the first autonomous driving robotaxi project funded by the Canton of Zurich and the Swiss national railway Schweizerische Bundesbahnen (SBB) and managed by the Swiss Transit Lab (STL). WeRide's leading Level-4 autonomous driving technology and mature operational capability have once again been recognized by the international market.
• Latest GXR Model Secures Highway and Driverless Testing Permits in Guangzhou. In December 2024, only two months after launch of its latest GXR robotaxi, WeRide received additional permits for passenger ride, highway and remote driverless in Guangzhou, China. This milestone underscores WeRide’s leadership in achieving industry-specific regulatory approvals and marks a significant step towards fully-driverless commercial operations on GXR platform in Guangzhou.

Robobus

• First Autonomous Robobus Trial in Spain. In March 2025, WeRide and Renault launched their first autonomous robobus trial in Spain. The service ran from March 10th to March 14th, offering a free autonomous robobus trial service in the center of Barcelona to showcase the maturity and potential of automated transport technologies.
• First European Fully-Driverless Commercial Robobus Deployment. In February 2025, WeRide launched the first European fully-driverless Level-4 robobus commercial deployment in collaboration with Beti, Renault Group and Macif in France’s Drôme region. The open road route covered by the automated shuttles, serves the train station, the off-site long-term parking area, the business park's catering hub and about 150 companies totaling approximately 3000 employees within a 162-hectare area.
• Deployment of Autonomous Robobus at Zurich Airport. In January 2025, WeRide deployed its autonomous robobus shuttle service at Zurich Airport, marking a significant milestone as one of the first autonomous bus shuttle projects at a European airport. The service will transport airport employees along a dedicated route connecting employee-access gates.
• Launch of BRT Robobus Shuttle Line in Guangzhou, China. In December 2024, WeRide inaugurated the commercial operation of the Tianhe BRT robobus shuttle line in Guangzhou. This line marks the first autonomous shuttle to navigate the BRT system in Guangzhou's city center that operates at night in a tier-one Chinese city, offering an efficiently safe and convenient option for nighttime commuters.

Robovan

• Release of Robovan W5. In February 2025, WeRide launched the robovan W5, a Level-4 autonomous logistics vehicle designed for open urban roads. Built on WeRide's 40 million kilometers of autonomous driving mileage, the vehicle features the largest cargo capacity in its class at 5.5 cubic meters with a 1,000 kg maximum payload and an operating range of up to 220 kilometers.
• Advancing Innovation Across Singapore's Logistics Industry. In February 2025, WeRide announced that it had signed an MoU with the Singapore Logistics Association (SLA), marking a significant milestone in advancing autonomous vehicle technology for Singapore's logistics sector. WeRide will collaborate with SLA to provide frontier solutions – including the recently unveiled robovan W5 – that will strengthen Singapore's position as a global logistics hub while promoting sustainable and efficient transportation solutions.

Robosweeper

• Urban Sanitation MoU with Chye Thiam Maintenance. In February 2025, WeRide signed an MoU with Chye Thiam Maintenance Pte Ltd (CTM) in Singapore. This collaboration combines WeRide’s leading Level-4 autonomous robosweeper technology with CTM’s extensive urban maintenance expertise, creating a powerful alliance to develop smarter, cleaner, and more sustainable cities across Southeast Asia and beyond.
• Expanding City Sanitation Operations Across China. WeRide continues to grow the market reach of its smart city sanitation solutions. Since the fourth quarter of 2024, WeRide has commenced operation or secured agreements to run robosweeper fleets in multiple new locations across China, such as Shenzhen, Tianjin and Erdos, among other cities.

WeRide Continues to be Recognized for Product Innovation and Industry Recognition

• Strengthening Global Cybersecurity Standards. In January 2025, WeRide announced that it had obtained ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, underscoring its commitment to top-grade information security. This certification validates WeRide’s alignment with international standards in information security management with a robust foundation for global expansion and cross-industry collaboration.
• Recognition on the Fortune Future 50 List. In December 2024, WeRide was recognized, on the 2024 Fortune Future 50 List, as the highest ranked autonomous driving company. The inclusion affirms the Company's position as one of the global leaders in the autonomous driving industry. This highly-regarded recognition came on the heels of the Company's successful Initial Public Offering and Nasdaq listing in October 2024, when it became the world's first publicly listed robotaxi company.

Unaudited Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Revenue

Total revenue was RMB140.8 million (US$19.3 million) compared to RMB144.8 million in the same period of 2023.

• Product revenue increased to RMB51.7 million (US$7.1 million) from RMB35.5 million in the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to a significant increase in the sales of robotaxis, robosweepers and robovans in the fourth quarter of 2024, partially offset by a decrease in the sales of robobuses.
• Service revenue decreased to RMB89.1 million (US$12.2 million) from RMB109.3 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to (i) a decrease of RMB37.2 million in revenue from ADAS research and development services as the customized R&D services for certain clients had been completed during the third quarter of 2024 with renewal contracts expected to take effect in 2025 and (ii) a decrease of RMB14.7 million in revenue from operational and technical support services as some technical support services engagement had been completed in FY2023 without renewal. The foregoing decreases were partially offset by an increase of RMB31.8 million in revenue from intelligent data services commenced in 2024.

• Cost of services decreased to RMB46.7 million (US$6.4 million) from RMB53.0 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease of RMB34.4 million in costs associated with ADAS research and development services for certain clients completed during the previous quarter which is consistent with the revenue growth and partially offset by an increase of RMB18.6 million costs for intelligent data services that commenced in 2024.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit was comprised of gross profit for products of RMB8.9 million (US$1.2 million), representing a gross margin of 17.3%, and gross profit for services of RMB42.4 million (US$5.8 million), representing a gross margin of 47.6%.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were RMB639.7 million (US$87.6 million) compared to RMB351.6 million in the same period of 2023. The change was mainly due to a 60% increase in personnel-related expenses compared to the same period in 2023.

• Administrative expenses were RMB304.5 million (US$41.7 million), compared to RMB99.7 million in the same period of 2023. Excluding share-based compensation, administrative expenses were RMB66.1 million, compared to RMB40.6 million in the same period of 2023, representing an increase of 62.8%. The significant increase was primarily due to (i) an increase of RMB12.8 million in personnel costs to build necessary support functions of a growing business, and (ii) an increase of RMB6.3 million in professional services fees mainly related to U.S. IPO completed in late 2024.

Net Loss

Exchange Rate Information

This announcement contains translations of certain RMB amounts into U.S. dollars at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise noted, all translations from RMB to U.S. dollars are made at a rate of RMB7.2993 to US$1.00, the exchange rate set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as of December 31, 2024.

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures

In evaluating its business, the Company considers and uses the non-IFRS financial measure of adjusted net loss as a supplemental measure to review and assess operating performance. The Company believes that adjusted net loss provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the Company’s consolidated results of operations in the same manner as it helps the Company’s management. The Company defines adjusted net loss as net loss for the year/period excluding share-based compensation expenses, fair value changes of financial liabilities measured at FVTPL, fair value changes of financial assets at FVTPL and changes in the carrying amounts of preferred shares and other financial instruments subject to redemption and other preferential rights.

The Company presents the non-IFRS financial measure because it is used by its management to evaluate its operating performance and formulate business plans. Adjusted net loss enables the Company’s management to assess the Company’s operating results without considering the impact of the aforementioned non-cash adjustment items that it does not consider to be indicative of its core operations. Accordingly, the Company believes that the use of this non-IFRS financial measure provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same manner as its management and board of directors.

This non-IFRS financial measure is not defined under IFRS and is not presented in accordance with IFRS. The non-IFRS financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool. One of the key limitations of using the adjusted net loss is that it does not reflect all items of expenses that affect the Company’s operations. Further, this non-IFRS measure may differ from the non-IFRS information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore its comparability may be limited.

The non-IFRS financial measure should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to loss for the year/period or any other measure of performance information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the Company’s historical non-IFRS financial measure in light of the most directly comparable IFRS measure, as shown below. The non-IFRS financial measure presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measure presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting the usefulness of such measures when analyzing the Company’s data comparatively. It is encouraged that you review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
