NIO Inc. has issued a profit forecast indicating the company expects to achieve an adjusted operating profit (non-GAAP) between approximately RMB 7 billion (about USD 1 billion) and RMB 12 billion (about USD 1.72 billion) for the fourth quarter of 2025. This would mark the company's first quarterly profit on this adjusted basis. The projection is based on a preliminary assessment of the company's unaudited consolidated management accounts and information currently available to the board.

The anticipated profit is attributed to a combination of factors: sustained sales growth in the fourth quarter of 2025, an improved product mix leading to better automotive gross margin, and the ongoing implementation of comprehensive cost-reduction and efficiency-enhancement measures.

On a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, the company expects to report an operating profit ranging from approximately RMB 2 billion (about USD 0.29 billion) to RMB 7 billion (about USD 1 billion) for the same period.
