A standout quarter for WeRide saw revenue nearly double year-over-year, fueled by rapid overseas expansion and the scaling of its L2++/L3 solution. Gross margin expanded sharply to 37.5%, reflecting a favorable revenue mix shift toward higher-margin businesses. While the company remains unprofitable, losses narrowed slightly and the balance sheet remains robust with over RMB5.3 billion in cash, providing ample runway. The operational metrics—robotaxi rides per vehicle up 24% sequentially, L2++ deliveries hitting 30,000 units—signal that commercial deployment is accelerating across multiple fronts. This quarter marks a tangible step toward self-sustaining cash generation, though heavy R&D spending continues to weigh on the bottom line.
