Based on preliminary, unaudited management accounts, NIO expects to post an adjusted operating profit of roughly RMB700 million to RMB1.2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025, marking the company's first-ever quarterly operating profit on a non-GAAP basis. This represents a significant reversal from the adjusted operating loss of more than RMB5.5 billion recorded in the same period a year earlier.
According to the company, the turnaround was driven by a combination of higher vehicle deliveries, an improved product mix that lifted margins, and continued progress in cost control and operational efficiency across the business.
On a GAAP basis, NIO also anticipates reporting an operating profit, estimated at between RMB200 million and RMB700 million for the quarter.
The company emphasized that the figures are preliminary and subject to change, as the fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results are still being finalized. The estimates have not yet been reviewed by external auditors or the board's audit committee and may differ from the final financial statements to be released later.
