I'm Edward Xu, Chief Strategy Officer of EHang. First, let me translate our CEO's remarks into English. Hello, everyone. I'm Hu Huazhi, the Founder, Chairman, and CEO of EHang. Thank you all for joining our earnings call today. I would like to start by sharing with you our business progress for the third quarter of 2021. As is known to many of you that we are applying for airworthiness certification for unmanned aircraft with the Civil Aviation Administration of China, or CAAC. Considering that obtaining the airworthiness certification is critical to the sales and operational services for our AAVS. EHang's recent focus remain on accelerating the progress for obtaining airworthiness certification for the EHang 216 instead of achieving large number of sales. To give more details on where we are with airworthiness certification, CAAC has basically completed the formulation of airworthiness certification standards for unmanned aircraft systems. Meanwhile, we are continuing to work on the EHang 216 type certification and completing the certification program according to our established certification plan. EHang and the CAAC have reached a consensus on the guiding principle that operational trial flights can gradually be carried out while advancing the certification progress. Moreover, we continue to implement our 100 Air Mobility Routes Initiative with seven operational spots established. During this trial operation stage, we can use this opportunity to optimize our products, conduct more stress tests on all hardware and software systems, review upon all kinds of simulated failures, and increase tests of the fusion controls for multiple flight control systems to make each and every flight smooth and safe. We will not tolerate any possibility of errors for any flights or operations and must maintain absolute safety. We are conducting test flights and trial operations based upon actual scenarios in cities such as Guangzhou, Hefei, Shenzhen, Zhaoqing, and Sanya, et cetera. This way, we are exploring the construction of air mobility systems that will also make air mobility a common transportation method for everyone. At the same time, we are also creating an entire operational system, strictly designing product management, operation services, and other systems that include a digital operational platform, hardware, and software such as cluster management for multi AAV formation flights, EHang Cloud, cybersecurity, and air taxi booking apps, et cetera. I believe that in the near future, this autonomous air taxi booking platform app will be commercially available for everyone to use. As for long-range products, our VT-30 is already capable of flying. The key systems in all our products, including those for flight control, batteries, speed control, motors, are developed, designed, and produced independently by ourselves, which form our core competitiveness for future. Our goal for the VT-30 is to achieve well-developed and commercially available systems and deployment based upon stability of the EHang 216. In recent months, we have been working on test flights to significantly improve the stability and safety of every key component in the VT-30 to prepare for a flight demo in due course while ensuring it is a mature and qualified product. We are now actively engaged in pioneering business without any precedent to follow, so patience is needed for success. I see that many investors have been supporting us, and even some singers from overseas have written songs for us. We greatly appreciate the support, and we know that only achieving commercial operation can we call it a true victory. We will keep moving forward towards this goal to meet everyone's expectations for EHang and realize all our company's potential value. Above were Mr. Hu's remarks. Following his remarks, I will elaborate on our operation results in the third quarter and our plan for future. We continue to make further progress in our EHang 216 operations and airworthiness certification efforts. As guided in our previous conference calls, we continue to make efforts in executing our 100 Air Mobility Routes Initiative in third quarter of 2021, with specific focus in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. During this quarter, our footprint further expanded to Shenzhen, a major city in the Greater Bay Area. With the cooperation with our local partners, our EHang 216 AAVs are able to fly regularly in Shenzhen, Yantian. More importantly, this is the world's first example of operating both AAVs and helicopters in an integrated airspace, a great breakthrough in the history of aviation. Notably, we have been establishing a sample regular air mobility operation model for aerial sightseeing at the vertiport of our partner, HELI-EASTERN, in the oceanfront of Maluan Hill area in Shenzhen since mid-November. With a daily frequency of six operational trial flights currently, we look to expand the flight frequencies to meet increasing market demand. We estimate a full scale operation in this spot will serve over 30,000 passengers per year. Furthermore, we have launched more operational spots in Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Zhaoqing, Sanya, et cetera, in collaboration with our partners, providing aerial tour and short distance travel experiences to passengers. With execution of our 100 Air Mobility Routes Initiative, we have launched 7 operations spots. In compliance with the relevant regulations, we conducted about 2,800 operational trial flights at these spots. The abundant operational experience accumulated and safety records built from these operational trial flights provides us with essential information for future commercial operations officially. On the certification of our EHang 216 AAV, we have attached a paramount emphasis on this project and have been promoting our cooperation with CAAC. After multiple rounds of discussion with CAAC expert team, our certification work has entered into the final stages of verification. So far, the work progress appears to be satisfying, so we remain hopeful to obtain CAAC's approval on EHang 216 type certification in the next few months. This year, EHang 216 has received the attention of government officials from all over the world, which include President Macron from France, Premier Li of China, and the King of Spain, all who have visited EHang's exhibition booth to express their recognition of our products and technologies. Our sales focus remain on the sale of our EHang 216-F AAVs, the firefighting version. In promotion of our products, we have participated in several fire drills held by local governments in Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Qingdao, Yunfu, and Qingyuan, which have won wide recognition from the authorities. We will strengthen our promotion activities and sales channels further. Looking forward, we will attempt to accelerate the type certification work for EHang 216 according to our established certification plan. We will also continue to implement our 100 Air Mobility Routes Initiative by adding more operation spots and frequencies to gradually build our UAM network in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area. I will now turn the call over to our CFO, Mr. Richard Liu, for financial results. Richard, please go ahead. Thank you. Thank you Edward, and hello, everyone. Before I go into details, please note that all numbers presented are in RMB and are for the third quarter of 2021, unless stated otherwise. All percentage changes are on a quarter-over-quarter basis unless otherwise specified. Detailed analysis are contained in our earnings press release, which is available on our IR website. I want to highlight some of the key points here. We have been strategically transitioning from a product sales-centric model into an operating platform-oriented model since early this year. This shift is a gradual process and important for the long-term growth of the company. Total revenues were RMB 13 million in Q3, an increase of 6.6% quarter-over-quarter. The EHang 216 series of AAV deliveries in Q3 were 8 units, including 2 units of EH216-F, the firefighting model, an increase of 5 units from Q2. Gross margin in Q3 was 61.8%, though it was 6.2 percentage points lower than Q2 due to the changes in revenue mix with the higher margin command-and-control system delivered in Q2. Our gross margin continued to be maintained at a relatively high level, which reflects the unique inherent competitive value in our business. Adjusted operating expenses, which are operating expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses, increased by RMB 1.9 million - RMB 61.8 million in Q3 from RMB 59.9 million in Q2. The increase in Q3 was mainly due to the continuously increasing R&D expenditures in developing and upgrading AAV models, including the long-range VT-30 and other products in pipeline, and expansion of the R&D team to enhance the R&D capabilities of the company. As a result, our adjusted operating loss in Q3 was RMB 48.9 million, a slight decrease as compared to RMB 49.4 million in Q2. Adjusted net loss in Q3 was RMB 47.8 million as compared to RMB 49.1 million in Q2. In respect of the balance sheet and cash flow, we ended Q3 with RMB 357 million of cash equivalents and short-term investments, compared with RMB 189.4 million as of December 31st, 2020. We will continue to run a healthy operation and manage the cash burns in the development process. Now let's turn to the business outlook. We have adjusted the annual revenue forecast for 2021 to be between RMB 50 million and RMB 60 million, mainly due to the following reasons. First, the company has been strategically transitioning from a product sales-centric model into a more operation platform-oriented model, and the ramp-up of operational revenues is subject to the ongoing certification processes of the EHang 216 AAV. Secondly, the potential orders of EHang 216F are expected to take longer sales cycle due to the procurement procedures of relevant government entities, which are typical customers for the product. Further, on November 29th, we announced the appointment of PwC succeeding EY as our independent registered public accounting firm in connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year of 2021. The change was made after careful and thorough evaluation process and has been approved by the company's audit committee and the board of directors. PwC has abundant experience and knowledge in clean mobility technology sectors such as electric vehicles, mobility as a service, and in particular, the global eVTOL and urban air mobility industries. We believe that PwC's appointment is helpful to our next phase of growth under our long-term UAM platform operator strategy. Now it's also good timing for the change, as there will be adequate time for a smooth transition for our 2021 annual audit. As always, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance and timely disclosures in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq. That concludes our prepared remarks. Let's now open the call for questions. Operator, please go ahead. Thank you. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. If you wish to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad and wait for your name to be announced. If you wish to cancel your request, please press the pound or hash key. Your first question comes from the line of Tim Hsiao from Morgan Stanley. Please ask your question. Hi management. Thanks for taking my questions. I have two questions. The first one is about the competitor landscape. How do you see the recent changes of the competitor landscape, following other peers or eVTOL companies going public via SPAC? In the meanwhile in China, we saw some new players trying to tap into this market, such as Xpeng. So could you briefly comment on your view on the potential competition? The second question is about strategic partnership. I think we made some announcements regarding our partnership with Greenland and Shenzhen East General Aviation. Looking forward, you know, in the next six, nine months, if there's any potential partnership there, that we can make more substantial progress and could help us to accelerate our commercial rollout. Thank you. Okay. Thank you, Tim. This is Edward. I take your question. So first of all, about these emerging players on the market, both domestically and overseas, we think that this is not a surprise. This is within our expectation. It definitely shows that more and more companies and institutions see the UAM market as a very attractive industry to enter. Especially, we noticed that a lot of these auto manufacturers are making these, you know, flying cars, which is similar to this, you know, AAV model. But we see that many of these so-called new products are still in early prototype stage, and we are proud that we are still leading the curve, and we are definitely the leader. There is nothing to worry about the competition, but we definitely acknowledge the potential competitors. We believe that the market is big enough to accommodate the existence of more companies. If you look at the auto industry, there are so many different, you know, new energy car makers, but still, it is very attractive. So far for this urban air mobility market, it is very big, and it is at a very early stage. Of course, we see the emerging players on this market. Actually, we welcome this trend, and there is nothing to be seriously worried about. We will focus on our, you know, strategy. First is to accelerate our airworthiness certification. We believe that this is a very long journey. For us, we have already made efforts in the past few years, and we believe that this is also a big challenge for the newcomers. Second, we will implement our 100 Air Mobility Routes Initiative. So far we have achieved very good progress. That comes to your second question, right? I'm happy that you noticed that we have already achieved strategic partnership with several players, one in Shenzhen, which is HELI-EASTERN, which is a conventional helicopter operating company. This helicopter company definitely they notice that the future is for autonomous aviation. Especially from the cost perspective, they notice that our AAV can definitely save the cost for them because this is a fully autonomous, and it is driven by electric power. We took this opportunity to introduce our AAV service and launch a lot of trial flights in Shenzhen. We believe that Shenzhen is very important in the Greater Bay Area in Guangdong, and so this is very important. With this partnership, we are able to gradually add more frequency and add more operational sites in Shenzhen. Second, our partnership with Greenland. Greenland Hong Kong is a listed company, is a property company listed in Hong Kong. This Greenland developed quite a large real estate project in Zhaoqing. We were able to introduce our AAV trial flights in their project, which received a very good recognition from both the developer and also their customers. Because they use our AAV service as attraction for their customers, either to visit their project or even buy their apartments in that area. This is a very good application. Going forward, we are going to ramp up with some more operation projects, especially the one which is worth noting is in Zhuhai, right? We are working with a partner in Zhuhai, and recently we did a test flight in the opera house in Zhuhai. Very, very beautiful scenery and very good application because this opera house is located on an island. This service can be both air tour and also the transportation. We are further expanding our services in Hezhou and even in overseas. Just now you notice that we also launched a flight in Indonesia, right? Indonesia is a country of many, many islands, which is ideal for the application of AAVs. We had this partnership with the Spanish National Police, et cetera, and further expand our network in Europe. We believe that with the progress with our airworthiness certification going on, we should be able to expand our trial flights or even more regular commercial flights in those areas in the future. Now the period is very important for us because we are able to accumulate abundant data, safety records, and also the experiences, and also building our team to further commercialize our operation in future. Okay. Please stay tuned for more news in future. Thank you. Got it. Thanks for the detail sharing, Edward. Thank you very much. Your next question comes from Duo Lu from Tianfeng Securities. Please ask your question. Hello Richard and Edward. Thanks for taking the questions. I have two questions as well. First, I read in Q3 earnings that you have established seven operation spots and conducted about 2,800 operational trial flights at these operational spots on the relevant compliance framework. Could you shed more light on this particular compliance framework? The second question is, could you elaborate on the sample model of the regular air mobility operation in Shenzhen? What's our plan regarding expanding operation spots for next year and for achieving the 100 Air Mobility Route Plan? Thank you. Thank you Duo. This is Richard. I will take your first question. Basically there are two main aspects forming the compliance framework for these operational trial flights in China. First, on the product and operation fronts, as we mentioned in this earnings release, we and the CAAC have reached a consensus on a guiding principle that operational trial flights can gradually be carried out while advancing the certification process. It is understood that more operational experience and records are instrumental in facilitating and accelerating the certification process. Secondly, in respect of the use of airspace in China, approvals from various in-charge department of PLA Air Force, which is responsible for regulating the airspace in China, have been obtained for all of the operational trial flights. This is Edward. I'm answering your second question regarding the air mobility operation in Shenzhen and the........ There's a plan to expand the ports next year, right? First of all, we believe that our operation model in Shenzhen is very representative because this is definitely a cooperation between us, which is AAV or UAM company with a conventional helicopter company. This helicopter company is very professional because they have trained and they have, you know, they obtained these certain standards and certification from CAAC. Which means that they can definitely help to improve the overall operating standards by, you know, adopting some of the existing CAAC standards. This is also the first operation of integrated aerospace of both AAVs and helicopters, which is the first in the history of aviation, so this is of very great significance. The cooperation so far is very smooth and successful. We had about six flights per day on a frequency, and gradually we are going to launch more, right? This can help to gain more experiences from this operation, and we should be able to replicate such a model to more operation spots in future. In future, we look to further intensify our operation frequencies, especially in the Hong Kong-Macau Guangdong Greater Bay Area because this is a very highly important area in China and also in the world with a very strong market potential for AAVs. Gradually, we should be launching much longer distance service after the launch of our VT-30 in the future, which will help to complete a more network for our AAV services. So far, as we mentioned in our guidance, right, we are about to launch our service in Zhuhai, which is at the other side of the Pearl River Delta or this Greater Bay Area, which is another important city in this area. In the future, we look to see a very big triangle in Guangzhou, in Shenzhen, and in Zhuhai, right. Moreover, we are going to expand our operations sites in Zhongshan, etc. In the future, you can see more and more AAVs can be flying in this area that we definitely are going to build the world's first UAM field in the world, in China. I hope you are going to see more of our progress in future. Thank you. I see. Thank you. Thank you, Richard and Edward. Thanks for the detailed elaboration. Thank you. Seeing no more questions in the queue, let me turn the call back to Mr. Liu for closing remarks. Okay. Thank you, operator, and thank you all for participating on today's call and for all your support. We appreciate your interest and look forward to reporting to you again next quarter on further progress. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, that does conclude our conference for today. Thank you for participating. You may now all disconnect.
