03.11.25 By ECARX
LONDON, Nov. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ECARX Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: ECX) (“ECARX” or the “Company”), a global mobility tech provider, today announced unaudited financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.
Ziyu Shen, ECARX Chairman and CEO, commented, “The strong momentum from the first half of the year carried through into Q3, delivering several significant milestones that are reinforcing the sustainable foundation we are building for future growth. Most notably, we achieved EBITDA breakeven per our guidance in Q2, generating $8.3 million in Adjusted EBITDA and turned a profit for the first time with $0.9 million in net profit. Our focus on globalizing our business over the past three years is clearly yielding significant progress. The continuous expansion of our shipment volumes, enhanced supply chain efficiency to service global orders, and improved gross margins through product iteration, has created a solid foundation for us to drive a new phase of scalable, profitable growth going forward.
Revenue grew by 11% year-over-year and 41% quarter-over-quarter to $219.9 million. Total shipments reached approximately 667,000 units, up 51% year-over-year and 26% quarter-over-quarter, of which shipments of Antora series built on SiEngine’s SE1000 SoC reached a record high of 196,000. Combined with our ability to accelerate Google Automotive Service certification, this platform has become a key driver of our global expansion and directly supports profitability leveraging our vertical integration advantages. Our Pikes? computing platform, built on the Qualcomm 8295 Snapdragon chipset, is our latest solution to begin mass production and was also a key contributor to our strong performance during the quarter as we began scaling up its production. This brings the total number of vehicles on the road globally with ECARX technology to approximately 10 million, underscoring the growing trust we have earned as a core technology partner for leading automakers worldwide.
The breadth of our global partnerships with automakers continues to amplify the unique value proposition we offer as a technology provider, driving strong sales growth for several partners. We continue to make new breakthroughs on a global scale securing a second project with a leading European automaker that will add another $400 million in lifetime revenue to our pipeline. This is also being replicated with leading Chinese automakers as we expand and deepen partnerships, reflected in the strong sales of several of their best-selling models. Combined, this progress showcases how our core technology can be delivered at scale across diverse platforms and geographies. This also underscores the significant value our Google ecosystem integration offers to global automakers, forming a crucial pillar of our long-term competitive edge.
Through operational discipline, a robust project pipeline, strengthened global presence, and continued investments in technology and infrastructure, we have delivered on our commitment to achieving EBITDA breakeven and becoming profitable. Moreover, we have recently entered into an agreement to issue up to $150 million in convertible notes to ATW Partners, reflecting the strong confidence they have in our strategy and execution as we enter this new phase of growth. The additional capital will provide more liquidity to fuel our international expansion and drive product innovation. Coupled with the solid foundation we have laid with a profitable third quarter, we are confident this momentum will carry into the next quarter. We are now focused on finishing the year strong and driving growth in 2026 and beyond.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
The Company uses adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss excluding interest income, interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, and share-based compensation expenses.
The Company presents this non-GAAP financial measure because it is used by the management to evaluate the Company’s operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company believes that the non-GAAP measure helps identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effects of certain expenses that are included in net loss. The Company also believes that the use of the non-GAAP measure facilitates investors’ assessment of its operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to net loss or any other measures of performance or as indicators of the Company’s operating performance. Investors are encouraged to compare the Company’s historical adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net loss. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company’s data. The Company encourages investors and others to review the financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
For more information on the non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this press release.
