Summary of Baic Blue Valley Conference Call Company Overview - Baic Blue Valley was established in 2009 and is a subsidiary of Beijing Automotive Group, focusing on the new energy vehicle (NEV) sector. The company went public in 2018 after a major asset restructuring and launched the Arcfox brand to enter the consumer NEV market. In 2024, Baic Blue Valley will collaborate with Huawei to launch the Xiangjie S9 model. Currently, the company has three brands: Beijing Automotive, Arcfox, and Xianshi. The revenue fluctuated significantly in 2020 due to the pandemic, but has since recovered with the launch of the Arcfox brand and the stabilization of the Beijing brand. It is expected that the implementation of battery swap policies and the new model launch in collaboration with Huawei will significantly boost revenue in 2024 [3][4][13]. Key Insights and Arguments - In 2024, the total sales of passenger vehicles priced above 300,000 yuan are expected to reach 1.88 million units, with NEV sales projected at 1.3 million units, accounting for approximately 12%. The market share of domestic brands in the 300,000 to 500,000 yuan price range has increased from 9% in 2020 to 47% in 2024 [3][5]. - The success of the Wenjie M9 model is attributed to its precise positioning in the extended-range mid-to-large SUV segment, where hybrid models outperform pure electric vehicles in sales. Consumer focus on range is evident, with the Wenjie M9 leveraging Huawei's intelligent driving technology and channel support, achieving sales of 150,000 units in 2024 [3][7]. - The Wenjie M9's sales have positively impacted the company's revenue and net profit, with the net profit per vehicle turning positive in Q1 2024 [3][9]. - The Seres S9 pure electric version, launched in August 2024, has underperformed compared to similar fuel vehicles, with a best monthly sales figure of around 2,000 units. The upcoming extended-range version is expected to alleviate consumer concerns about electric vehicle range and may improve sales performance [3][10][11]. - The Arcfox brand is projected to see rapid growth in 2024, with a year-on-year increase of 170%, reaching 81,000 units. The brand aims to maintain a growth rate of over 50% in 2025, with plans to launch new models including the Alpha P5 extended-range version and the S5 [3][12]. Additional Important Content - Baic Blue Valley's future direction includes a continued focus on the NEV sector, with plans to launch more intelligent and high-range models in collaboration with Huawei to enhance competitiveness. The company may also leverage resources from Beijing Automotive Group to develop off-road vehicles [3][8]. - The overall delivery volume for Baic Blue Valley in 2024 is expected to be low due to the recent launch of pure electric versions.
