New Model Launches
On October 23, 2024, ZEEKR officially launched and commenced deliveries of the ZEEKR MIX, a five-seat, family-oriented vehicle.

Two front-row seats that can swivel 270 degrees and a movable central console enhance cabin versatility, enabling “9+N” cabin scenario modes and flexible seating arrangements.
CEO and CFO Comments
“Our performance remained strong and resilient this quarter, marked by record-high deliveries and successful new model launches,” said Mr. Andy An, ZEEKR’s chief executive officer. “In the third quarter, we set a new record with 55,003 vehicle deliveries, representing a 51% year-over-year increase, and reached an additional milestone in October with monthly deliveries of 25,049 units. Notably, the ZEEKR 7X’s deliveries exceeded 20,000 units within 50 days since its launch, marking a robust achievement in the highly competitive mainstream SUV market. As we expand our product lineup and strengthen each model’s position in its respective category, we are delivering ZEEKR’s ultimate driving experience to more users, further cementing ZEEKR’s industry leadership.”
Mr. Jing Yuan, ZEEKR’s chief financial officer, added, “Our disciplined cost control measures, coupled with ongoing optimization of product structure, economies of scale, and technological innovation, drove a 30.7% year-over-year increase in revenue. Vehicle sales for the quarter grew by 42.0% and 7.2% year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter, respectively. Meanwhile, vehicle margin remained on an upward trajectory, rising to 15.7% in the third quarter of 2024, highlighting our consistent progress in profitability enhancement. Looking ahead, we will continue to consolidate resources, strengthen product capabilities, and expand our industry presence to propel our sustainable growth.”
Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2024
Revenues
Total revenues were RMB18,358.0 million (US$2,616.0 million) for the third quarter of 2024, representing an increase of 30.7% from RMB14,044.6 million for the third quarter of 2023 and a decrease of 8.4% from RMB20,040.1 million for the second quarter of 2024.
Revenues from vehicle sales were RMB14,401.3 million (US$2,052.2 million) for the third quarter of 2024, representing an increase of 42.0% from RMB10,143.7 million for the third quarter of 2023, and an increase of 7.2% from RMB13,438.2 million for the second quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was due to the increase in new product delivery volume, partially offset by the lower average selling price due to the different product mix and pricing strategy changes between the two quarters. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly attributable to the launch of the ZEEKR 7X new model in the third quarter of 2024 and the higher average selling price resulting from changes in product mix.
Revenues from sales of batteries and other components were RMB3,245.3 million (US$462.5 million) for the third quarter of 2024, representing a decrease of 1.3% from RMB3,288.8 million for the third quarter of 2023 and a decrease of 38.8% from RMB5,299.2 million for the second quarter of 2024. The revenues from sales of batteries and other components remained relatively stable compared with the third quarter of 2023. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly driven by lower sales volume of battery packs in the domestic market.
Revenues from research and development service and other services were RMB711.4 million (US$101.4 million) for the third quarter of 2024, representing an increase of 16.2% from RMB612.1 million for the third quarter of 2023 and a decrease of 45.4% from RMB1,302.6 million for the second quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to the increased sales of after-sales vehicle services. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly due to the decreased sales of research and development services to related parties.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin
Cost of revenues was RMB15,416.2 million (US$2,196.8 million) for the third quarter of 2024, representing an increase of 31.1% from RMB11,755.2 million for the third quarter of 2023 and a decrease of 7.1% from RMB16,590.2 million for the second quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was mainly attributable to the increase in vehicle delivery volume and the quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in sales of batteries and other components.
Gross profit was RMB2,941.8 million (US$419.2 million) for the third quarter of 2024, representing an increase of 28.5% from RMB2,289.4 million for the third quarter of 2023 and a decrease of 14.7% from RMB3,449.8 million for the second quarter of 2024.
Gross margin was 16.0% for the third quarter of 2024, compared with 16.3% for the third quarter of 2023 and 17.2% for the second quarter of 2024. The gross margin remained relatively stable compared with the third quarter of 2023. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly attributable to the decreased margins on batteries and other components.
Vehicle margin was 15.7% for the third quarter of 2024, compared with 18.1% for the third quarter of 2023 and 14.2% for the second quarter of 2024. The year-over-year decrease was primarily attributed to the lower average selling price of ZEEKR vehicles due to the different product mix and pricing strategy changes between the two quarters, partially offset by the procurement savings as the cost of auto parts and materials decreased. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly due to the change in product mix.
Operating Expenses
Research and development expenses were RMB1,966.2 million (US$280.2 million) for the third quarter of 2024, representing a decrease of 2.6% from RMB2,018.1 million for the third quarter of 2023 and a decrease of 25.1% from RMB2,623.5 million for the second quarter of 2024. Research and development expenses remained relatively stable compared with the third quarter of 2023. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly due to a one-off, large quantity of share-based compensation expenses in the second quarter, conditioned on the Company’s initial public offering.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were RMB2,274.8 million (US$324.1 million) for the third quarter of 2024, representing an increase of 25.4% from RMB1,813.9 million for the third quarter of 2023 and a decrease of 12.7% from RMB2,604.7 million for the second quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to increased expenses related to the expansion of offline channels in China and overseas as well as the marketing activities of the launch of new models. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly due to a one-off, large quantity of share-based compensation expenses in the second quarter, conditioned on the Company’s initial public offering.

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.

Second Year of Support for Women Entrepreneurs Driving Positive Change
MELBOURNE, Australia, Nov. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — LIFTWOMEN®, the global platform empowering female entrepreneurs, is thrilled to announce the return of its LiftHER Female Founders Grant Challenge, supported once again by AsiaPay Capital. This year, AsiaPay’s continued sponsorship amplifies its commitment to fostering innovation and inclusion, with A$40K in prizes for finalists and winners. Following the success of last year’s inaugural challenge—which received over 300 applications from five APAC regions—the LiftHER initiative remains dedicated to supporting women-led ventures that drive positive social and environmental impact.
The previous LiftHER cohort celebrated diverse founders from Australia, Vietnam, Hong Kong SAR, Indonesia, and the Philippines, showcasing businesses across MedTech, sustainable consumer products, and digital platforms. These finalists have not only made strides in their industries but have collectively engaged audiences of over 500,000 across social media and earned coverage in major media outlets, including Forbes, CNN, and LinkedIn Top Voice.
In 2024, nine finalists will again be selected to participate in an intensive 8-week business and crowdfunding coaching program. Last year’s winners included OVUM (Australia), an AI-driven women’s health assistant, La Foundary (Australia), which transforms waste into biomaterials, and Urban Farmer TV (Philippines), dubbed the “Netflix for urban gardening.”
Irene Tsang, Founder and CEO of LIFTWOMEN®, emphasised the vital role that AsiaPay’s support plays in sustaining the challenge and uplifting these visionary founders. “AsiaPay’s partnership is instrumental in ensuring that female founders have access to resources that are often out of reach,” said Tsang. “Their commitment goes beyond sponsorship; it is a powerful affirmation that women-led ventures are key to creating a sustainable and inclusive future. The LiftHER Grant Challenge is more than just a competition—it’s a platform to break down systemic funding barriers, empowering women to lead impactful change.”
Joseph Chan, CEO of AsiaPay Capital, added, “AsiaPay Capital is honoured to support LIFTWOMEN® again this year, backing a program that aligns with our values of innovation and inclusive growth. The quality of last year’s applicants was inspiring, and we look forward to seeing new ideas that merge technology, sustainability, and gender equality to shape the future of business in Asia.”
Applications for the LiftHER Grant Challenge opened on 11 November 2024 and will close on 3 January 2025. Finalists will be announced in late January and will start their journey with international mentors in February, leading up to the Pitch Night in April 2025, where A$40,000 in grant funding will be awarded across four categories: Sustainable Future, Innovation & Impact, Digital Commerce, and People’s Choice.

Important Information
Global X India Sector Leader Active ETF
Investors should not base investment decisions on this document alone. Please refer to the Prospectus for details including product features and the risk factors. Investment involves risks. Past performance is not indicative of future performance. There is no guarantee of the repayment of the principal. Investors should note:
Global X India Sector Leader Active ETF (the “Fund”)’s investment objective is to achieve long term capital growth by primarily investing in equities and equity-related securities of sector leading companies domiciled in or exercising a large portion of their economic activity in India.The Fund will invest primarily (i.e. at least 70% of its net asset value (the “Net Asset Value”) in equities and equity-related securities (such as common shares, preferred stock as well as American depositary receipts (“ADRs”), global depositary receipts (“GDRs”) and participation notes) of sector leading companies domiciled in or exercising a large portion of their economic activities (e.g., having investments, production activities, trading or other business interests) in India.The Fund employs an actively managed investment strategy. The Fund does not seek to track any index or benchmark, and there is no replication or representative sampling conducted by the Manager. It may fail to meet its objective as a result of the Manager’s selection of investments, and/or the implementation of processes which may cause the Fund to underperform as compared to other index tracking funds with a similar objective.The Fund’s investment in equity securities is subject to general market risks, whose value may fluctuate due to various factors, such as changes in investment sentiment, political and economic conditions and issuer-specific factors.The Fund is an FPI registered with the SEBI. The applicable laws, rules and guidelines on FPI impose limits on the ability of FPI to acquire shares in certain Indian issuers from time to time and are subject to change. This may also adversely affect the performance of the Fund.The FPI status of the Sub-Fund may be revoked by the SEBI under certain circumstances. In the event the Fund’s registration as an FPI is cancelled, revoked, terminated or not renewed, this would adversely impact the ability of the Fund to make further investments, or to hold and dispose of existing investment in Indian securities. The Fund may be required to liquidate all holdings in Indian securities acquired by the Fund as an FPI. Such liquidation may have to be undertaken at a substantial discount and the Fund may suffer significant/substantial losses.The Fund’s investments are concentrated in securities in India. The value of the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse economic, political, policy, foreign exchange, liquidity, tax, legal or regulatory event affecting the Indian market.High market volatility and potential settlement difficulties in the equity market in India may result in significant fluctuations in the prices of the securities traded on such market and thereby may adversely affect the value of the Fund. The BSE has the right to suspend trading in any security traded thereon. The Indian government or the regulators in India may also implement policies that may affect the Indian financial markets. There can be no assurance that the Indian government will not impose restrictions on foreign exchange and the repatriation of capital.The taxation of income and capital gains in India is subject to the fiscal law of India. The tax rate in respect of capital gains derived by an FPI on transfer of securities will vary depending upon various factors. Any increased tax liabilities on the Fund may adversely affect the Net Asset Value of the Fund. For details, please refer to the section headed “Taxation in India” in the Prospectus. Any shortfall between the provision and the actual tax liabilities, which will be debited from the assets of the Fund, will adversely affect its Net Asset Value.Underlying investments of the Fund may be denominated in currencies other than the base currency of the Fund. In addition, the base currency of the Fund is USD but the trading currency of the Fund is in HKD. The Net Asset Value of the Fund and its performance may be affected unfavourably by fluctuations in the exchange rates between these currencies and the base currency and by changes in exchange rate controls.Securities lending transactions may involve the risk that the borrower may fail to return the securities lent out in a timely manner or at all. The Fund may as a result suffer from a loss or delay when recovering the securities lent out. This may restrict the Fund’s ability in meeting delivery or payment obligations from realisation requests.The trading price of the Units on the SEHK is driven by market factors such as the demand and supply of the Units. Therefore, the Units may trade at a substantial premium or discount to the Fund’s Net Asset Value.Investors should note that where a unitholder holds Listed Class of Units traded under the USD counter, the relevant unitholder will only receive distributions in HKD and not USD.Payments of distributions out of capital and/or effectively out of capital amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor’s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Any such distributions involving payment of dividends out of capital or effectively out of capital of the Fund may result in an immediate reduction in the Net Asset Value per Unit of the Fund and will reduce the capital available for future investment.
Global X Emerging Markets Asia Active ETF
Investors should not base investment decisions on this document alone. Please refer to the Prospectus for details including product features and the risk factors. Investment involves risks.

The Fund does not seek to track any index or benchmark, and there is no replication or representative sampling conducted by the Manager. It may fail to meet its objective as a result of the Manager’s selection of investments, and/or the implementation of processes which may cause the Fund to underperform as compared to other index tracking funds with a similar objective.The Fund’s investment in equity securities is subject to general market risks, whose value may fluctuate due to various factors, such as changes in investment sentiment, political and economic conditions and issuer-specific factors.The Fund invests in the emerging markets which may involve increased risks and special considerations not typically associated with investment in more developed markets, such as liquidity risks, currency risks/control, political and economic uncertainties, legal and taxation risks, settlement risks, custody risk and the likelihood of a high degree of volatility.The Fund may invest in stocks of small-capitalisation/mid-capitalisation companies. The stock of small-capitalisation/mid-capitalisation companies may have lower liquidity and their prices are more volatile to adverse economic developments than those of larger capitalisation companies in general.Underlying investments of the Fund may be denominated in currencies other than the base currency of the Fund.
