NIO Limited Balance Sheet 2025-2011 | NIO
Brief balance sheet overview of NIO Limited
The comparison uses five available annual reports from the 2021–2025 interval.
Assets advanced +50.1% to 124.4 billion CNY from 82.9 billion CNY; annual growth near 10.7% reflects a fast increase in scale.
Asset growth of +50.1% came with a +149.2% rise in liabilities. Financial leverage became more prominent.
Equity covers only 3.3% of assets versus 42% initially. The loss-absorbing cushion is limited.
The period ended with net cash: net debt stood at -484.1 million CNY. This supports financial flexibility.
Retained earnings are negative at -128 billion CNY. This reduces the formal capital cushion, although large shareholder returns may have contributed.
Overall picture
NIO Limited's balance sheet looks stretched: reliance on liabilities and a limited capital cushion increase sensitivity to weaker results.

Balance Sheet is a fundamental financial report of NIO Limited, providing a complete picture of the company’s financial position at a specific point in time. Unlike the income statement, which records the results of operations over a certain period, the balance sheet shows what assets the company owns, what liabilities it has to creditors, and what equity is available to the owners.
For an investor, the balance sheet is important because it allows assessing the company’s financial stability, understanding how much debt it carries, and how dependent it is on borrowed financing. It helps calculate key liquidity and leverage ratios. When analyzing, attention should be paid to the debt-to-equity ratio (Debt/Equity), the amount of cash on the balance sheet, and the ratio of current liabilities to liquid assets.
Features of balance sheet analysis- Vertical and horizontal analysis
Vertical analysis shows the structure of the balance sheet as a percentage of total assets or liabilities, while horizontal analysis shows the dynamics of changes over multiple periods. - Asset quality
It is important to evaluate not only the amount of assets but also their liquidity and realizability. - Accounting for off-balance sheet liabilities
Some liabilities may not be directly reflected in the balance sheet, which requires additional attention.
