49、first autonomous driving solution,our iFC series,in 2020.Our revenue increased significantlyfrom RMB47.7 million in 2020 to RMB178.3 million in 2021 and further to RMB1,325.9million in 2022,with a CAGR of 427.2%,and from RMB359.2 million for the six monthsended June 30,2022 to RMB543.2 million for t
50、he six months ended June 30,2023.At therelatively early stages of large-scale commercialization,we have been loss-making since 2020and we expect to incur net loss and net operating cash outflow in 2023.For details,see“Business Business Sustainability.”As an automotive system integrator(Tier 1 suppli
51、er),we offer various autonomous driving in-vehicle solutions and products to OEMs on both newenergy vehicles(NEVs)and internal combustion engine(ICE)vehicles.Our autonomousdriving domain controller(AD domain controller)solutions typically include(i)an AD domaincontroller;(ii)associated sensors,which
52、 we procure from third-party suppliers and integrateinto our solutions;(iii)integrated software,algorithms and functions;and(iv)relevant servicessuch as sensor implementation,vehicle systems integration,and function testing andvalidation.On the hardware side,we have commercialized two AD domain cont
53、roller product lineswhich support level 2 to level 2+autonomous driving functions,covering a wide price rangeof passenger vehicles and all types of driving scenarios,including highways,ring roads,complex urban roads,country roads,and parking areas.We act as the system integrator inSuperVision projec
54、ts,which is based on Mobileyes technology including the base versionof AD domain controllers acquired from Mobileye.We also provide self-designed andself-developed iDC series which includes iDC Mid and iDC High.In terms of revenuegenerated from sales of AD domain controller solutions in 2022,we were
55、 the fourth largest ADdomain controller provider in China taking into account the in-house developed domaincontrollers by OEMs,with a market share of 8.6%.SAE is a U.S.-based global association of engineering professionals in various industrieswith a focus on transport industries,such as aerospace,a
56、utomotive and commercial vehicles.SAE classified vehicle automation into six levels(ranging from level 0 to level 5)based on theextent of human intervention and the scope of the driving scenario.Market participants classifyautonomous driving solutions into more specific categories based on the SAE c

58、idea of the level of automation of their products.Although it is not an officialclassification under SAE standard,automotive industry has widely adopted the terminology oflevel 2+to distinguish their advanced technologies and functions from the basic level 2function.A typical basic level 2 function
59、is a combination of Adaptive Crusie Control(ACC)and Lane Centering Control(LCC),which helps vehicles dynamically maintain a safefollowing distance and keeps the vehicles centered in the lane at the same time.An exampleof an level 2+function is Automated Lane Change(ALC),which actively detects vehicl
60、es inthe blind spot and,when clear,performs a lane change movement at the drivers request.AD domain controllers function as the brain of autonomous driving solutions-fusing andprocessing data from the vehicles sensors to make autonomous driving decisions and triggeractuators in the vehicles.The diag

230、20,2021 and2022,we also recorded a net operating cash outflow of RMB23.8 million,RMB62.9 millionand RMB65.6 million,respectively.Our losses during the Track Record Period were primarilybecause:(i)we operate in an emerging market.To further reinforce our presence andcompetitiveness in the emerging au
231、tonomous driving market,we have been focusing on R&D,product development and expansion of customer base,rather than seeking short-term return orprofitability;(ii)our economies of scale have not yet fully materialized.Although the increasein gross profit margin of AD domain controller solutions from
232、5.3%in 2021 to 7.4%in 2022indicated that we gradually achieved stronger economies of scale and had increasingbargaining power against suppliers,the yet-to-be-fully-materialized economies of scalecontributed to our losses during the Track Record Period;and(iii)we continually invest in theR&D of new p

234、es in 2023,we have achieved a steady growth in terms of revenue and sales volume anddemonstrated a clear trajectory of profitability improvement.The sales volume of our main ADdomain controller solution during the Track Record Period,increased from 5,796 units in 2021to 79,589 units in 2022 and from

244、roving Gross Margin.Our ability to manage and control our costs is critical tothe success of our business and our profitability.We believe that we are able toimprove our gross profit margin,primarily due to the following factors:(1)Better product mix with higher margins.We intend to improve our gros
245、s profitmargin by launching additional autonomous driving solutions and productswith higher margins.As we endeavor to apply iDC Mid,iDC High and iFC 3.0to additional vehicle models of both our existing and new OEM customers,sales of these solutions and products are expected to contribute to a larger

247、 REDACTED.Although such investments may result in an increasein our capital expenditure in short term,we believe the in-house production ofour products will allow us to simplify the supply chain and maintain ahigh-level of cost efficiency,and in turn improve our profitability ultimately.(3)Stronger
248、bargaining power as achieving increasing economies of scale.Ourgross profit margin of AD domain controller solutions increased from 5.3%in2021 to 7.4%in 2022,and from 6.3%for the six months ended June 30,2022to 7.2%for the six months ended June 30,2023,indicating that we graduallyachieved stronger e
249、conomies of scale and had increasing bargaining poweragainst suppliers following the series production of our first SuperVisionproject in collaboration with Mobileye in October 2021.In the future,with theexpected increasing sales volume of SuperVision and the series productionof iDC Mid,we expect to
