Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Total revenues reached RMB1,891.8 million (US$260.3¹ million), increased by 3.1% year-over-year and 6.5% quarter-over-quarter from RMB1,835.4 million in the same quarter of 2023 and RMB1,775.7 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increase was mainly due to the expanded revenue from AI related customers and partially offset by our proactive scale-down of content delivery network (CDN) services, and more stringent project selection of enterprise cloud projects.

Revenues from public cloud services were RMB1,234.5 million (US$169.9 million), increased by 6.5% from RMB1,159.5 million in the same quarter of 2023 and 4.0% from RMB1,187.4 million last quarter. The increase was mainly due to the growth of AI demands and partially offset by the proactive scale-down of our CDN services.

Revenues from enterprise cloud services were RMB657.2 million (US$90.4 million), representing a decrease of 2.7% from RMB675.2 million in the same quarter of 2023 and an increase of 11.7% from RMB588.2 million last quarter. We keep focus in selected verticals such as public services cloud, state-owned assets cloud, healthcare and financial services, enhance our solutions with AI capabilities and take profitability and sustainability of the enterprise cloud projects as our priorities.

Other revenues were nil this quarter.

Cost of revenues was RMB1,573.4 million (US$216.5 million), representing a decrease of 3.4% from RMB1,628.8 million in the same quarter of 2023. IDC costs decreased significantly by 15.4% year-over-year from RMB860.7 million to RMB728.2 million (US$100.2 million) this quarter. The decrease was in line with the scale down of our CDN services and our strict control over procurement costs. Depreciation and amortization costs increased by 31.6% from RMB202.1 million in the same quarter of 2023 to RMB265.9 million (US$36.6 million) this quarter. The increase was mainly due to the depreciation of newly acquired servers which were allocated to AI business. Solution development and services costs increased by 8.4% year-over-year from RMB452.9 million in the same quarter of 2023 to RMB491.1 million (US$67.6 million) this quarter. The increase was mainly due to the solution personnel expansion of Camelot. Fulfillment costs and other costs were RMB37.6 million (US$5.2 million) and RMB50.6 million (US$6.9 million) this quarter.

Gross profit was RMB318.3 million (US$43.8 million), representing a significant increase of 54.1% from RMB206.6 million in the same quarter of 2023, demonstrating our improvements in revenue quality. Gross margin was 16.8%, compared with 11.3% in the same period in 2023. Non-GAAP gross profit² was RMB323.4 million (US$44.5 million), compared with RMB206.8 million in the same period in 2023. Non-GAAP gross margin² was 17.1%, compared with 11.3% in the same period in 2023. The significant improvement of our gross profit and margin was mainly due to our strategic adjustment of revenue mix, expansion of AI revenues, optimized enterprise cloud project selection and efficient cost control measures.

Total operating expenses were RMB595.9 million (US$82.0 million), increased by 4.6% from RMB569.7 million in the same period in 2023 and 5.0% from RMB567.4 million last quarter. Among which:

General and administrative expenses were RMB266.2 million (US$36.6 million), compared with RMB246.5 million in the same period in 2023 and RMB218.7 million last quarter. The sequential increase was mainly due to the one-time-off gain of property disposal of last quarter and the year- over-year increase was mainly due to the increase in personnel costs.

Research and development expenses were RMB204.0 million (US$28.1 million), increased by 5.2% from RMB193.9 million in the same period in 2023 and decreased by 12.1% from RMB232.0 million last quarter. The sequential decrease was mainly due to the reversal of share-based compensation expense related to forfeiture and the year-over-year increase was mainly due to the increase in personnel costs, partially offsetting by the reversal of share-based compensation related to forfeiture.

Operating loss was RMB277.6 million (US$38.2 million), significantly decreased compared with operating loss of RMB363.1 million in the same quarter of 2023 and slightly increased from RMB274.2 million last quarter. The year-over-year improvement was mainly due to our gross profit expansion and we have been taking strict control over expenses, bearing fruit from our high-quality and sustainable development strategy. The sequential increase was mainly due to the above-mentioned expenses increase and partially offset by the increase of gross profit.

Net loss was RMB353.7 million (US$48.7 million), significantly decreased compared with net loss of RMB498.3 million in the same quarter of 2023 and RMB363.6 million last quarter. The improvements of our profitability were in line with our strategies of high quality and sustainable development, as we focus on profitable business and execute strict control over costs and expenses.

³ Non-GAAP net loss is defined as net loss excluding share-based compensation, impairment of long-lived assets and foreign exchange loss, and we define Non-GAAP net loss margin as adjusted net loss as a percentage of revenues. See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" set forth at the end of this press release.

⁴ Non-GAAP EBITDA is defined as Non-GAAP net loss excluding interest income, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, and we define Non-GAAP EBITDA margin as Non-GAAP EBITDA as a percentage of revenues. See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" set forth at the end of this press release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information is prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). In evaluating our business, we consider and use certain non-GAAP measures, Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP gross margin, Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP EBITDA margin, Non-GAAP net loss and Non-GAAP net loss margin, as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define Non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit excluding share-based compensation allocated in the cost of revenues, and we define Non-GAAP gross margin as Non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of revenues. We define Non-GAAP net loss as net loss excluding share-based compensation, foreign exchange loss and impairment of long-lived assets, and we define Non-GAAP net loss margin as Non-GAAP net loss as a percentage of revenues. We define Non-GAAP EBITDA as Non-GAAP net loss excluding interest income, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, and we define Non-GAAP EBITDA margin as Non-GAAP EBITDA as a percentage of revenues. We present these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. We also believe that the use of these non-GAAP measures facilitates investors' assessment of our operating performance.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect our operations. Further, these non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.

We compensate for these limitations by reconciling these non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance. We encourage you to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
