SECOND QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

Total revenues were RMB349.0 million (USD48.7 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing a decrease of 4.9% from RMB366.8 million in the same quarter of 2024. Total revenues comprise:

 

Revenues from Company owned and operated stores were RMB281.9 million (USD39.3 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing a decrease of 12.5% from RMB322.3 million in the same quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to closures of certain underperforming stores and a 3.6% decrease in same-store sales growth for company owned and operated stores in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was also attributable to a 3.2% decline in the number of orders from 10.8 million in the second quarter of 2024 to 10.5 million in the same quarter of 2025, and a 6.9% year-over-year decrease in average ticket size.

 

Other revenues were RMB67.1 million (USD9.4 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing an increase of 50.7% from RMB44.5 million in the same quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to the expansion of our franchise business as the number of our franchised stores increased from 333 as of June 30, 2024 to 449 as of June 30, 2025.

 

Company owned and operated store costs and expenses were RMB272.4 million (USD38.0 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing a decrease of 12.1% from RMB309.9 million in the same quarter of 2024. Company owned and operated store costs and expenses comprise:

 

Food and packaging costs were RMB84.8 million (USD11.8 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing a decrease of 15.0% from RMB99.7 million in the same quarter of 2024, as we continued to benefit from higher efficiencies in supply chains and cost reduction on raw materials, logistic and warehousing expenses. Accordingly, food and packaging costs as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores decreased by 0.8 percentage points from 30.9% in the second quarter of 2024 to 30.1% in the same quarter of 2025.

 

Rental and property management fees were RMB56.8 million (USD7.9 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing a decrease of 8.6% from RMB62.2 million in the same quarter of 2024, mainly due to the closure of certain underperforming stores and in line with the revenue trend. Rental and property management fees as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores increased by 0.9 percentage points from 19.3% in the second quarter of 2024 to 20.2% in the same quarter of 2025, which was primarily due to a 3.6% decrease in same-store sales growth for company owned and operated stores in the second quarter of 2025.

 

Payroll and employee benefits expenses were RMB50.2 million (USD7.0 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing a decrease of 17.4% from RMB60.8 million in the same quarter of 2024. Payroll and employee benefits expenses as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores decreased by 1.1 percentage points from 18.9% in the second quarter of 2024 to 17.8% in the same quarter of 2025, primarily due to the continuous refinement of staffing arrangements and optimization of store managerial efficiency.

 

Delivery costs were RMB33.3 million (USD4.7 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing an increase of 3.4% from RMB32.2 million in the same quarter of 2024, which was primarily due to an increase in delivery orders. Delivery costs as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores increased by 1.8 percentage points to 11.8% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 10.0% in the same quarter of 2024, which was primarily due to higher delivery revenue mix as a percentage of total revenues from company owned and operated stores.

 

Other operating expenses were RMB20.4 million (USD2.9 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing a decrease of 16.3% from RMB24.4 million in the same quarter of 2024, driven by the cost optimization measures and in line with the revenue trend. Other operating expenses as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores decreased by 0.4 percentage points to 7.2% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 7.6% in the same quarter of 2024.

 

Store depreciation and amortization expenses were RMB26.8 million (USD3.7 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing a decrease of 12.2% from RMB30.5 million in the same quarter of 2024, which was primarily due to impairment on property and equipment in relation to company owned and operated store closures and the reduced capital expenditures per store as a result of our initiatives to improve store unit economics. Store depreciation and amortization as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores remained relatively stable at 9.5% in the second quarter of both 2024 and 2025.

 

Costs of other revenues were RMB46.5 million (USD6.5 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing an increase of 33.9% from RMB34.7 million in the same quarter of 2024, which was primarily driven by an increase in the revenues generated from franchise business as the number of our franchised stores increased from 333 as of June 30, 2024 to 449 as of June 30, 2025. Costs of other revenues as a percentage of other revenues decreased by 8.7 percentage points from 78.0% in the second quarter of 2024 to 69.3% in the same quarter of 2025 due to higher margin we generated from franchise business during the second quarter of 2025.

Marketing expenses were RMB13.9 million (USD1.9 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing an increase of 8.4% from RMB12.8 million in the same quarter of 2024, primarily because we made more efforts to promote our newly launched “Light & Fit Lunch Box” series products. Marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased by 0.5 percentage points from 3.5% in the second quarter of 2024 to 4.0% in the same quarter of 2025.

 

General and administrative expenses were RMB37.7 million (USD5.3 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing a decrease of 5.2% from RMB39.8 million in the same quarter of 2024, which was primarily due to our cost optimization measures at the headquarters level. Adjusted general and administrative expenses, which excludes: (i) share-based compensation expenses of RMB0.8 million (USD0.1 million), and (ii) impairment losses of rental deposits of RMB2.3 million (USD0.3 million), were RMB34.6 million (USD4.8 million), representing an increase of 13.7% from RMB30.4 million in the same quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to higher employee compensation costs incurred during the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased by 1.6 percentage points from 8.3% in the second quarter of 2024 to 9.9% in the same quarter of 2025. For more information on the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures, please see the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the table captioned “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to the Most Directly Comparable GAAP Measures” set forth at the end of this earnings release.

 

Franchise and royalty expenses were RMB17.1 million (USD2.4 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing an increase of 14.2% from RMB15.0 million in the same quarter of 2024, which was primarily due to increase of amortized upfront franchise fees and higher royalty rate applicable. Accordingly, franchise and royalty expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased by 0.8 percentage points, from 4.1% in the second quarter of 2024 to 4.9% in the same quarter of 2025.

 

Impairment losses of long-lived assets were RMB9.5 million (USD1.3 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to RMB5.8 million in the same quarter of 2024, which was primarily due to the increase in the number of planned closures of underperforming company owned and operated stores.

 

As a result of the foregoing, operating loss was RMB47.8 million (USD6.7 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to RMB54.7 million in the same quarter of 2024.

 

Adjusted Corporate EBITDA was RMB2.2 million (USD0.3 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to RMB3.3 million in the same quarter of 2024. Adjusted Corporate EBITDA margin was 0.6% in the second quarter of 2025, compared to 0.9% in the same quarter of 2024.

 

Net loss from continuing operations was RMB75.9 million (USD10.6 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to RMB99.5 million for the same quarter of 2024. Adjusted net loss was RMB39.7 million (USD5.5 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to RMB47.4 million for the same quarter of 2024. Adjusted net loss margin was negative 11.4% in the second quarter of 2025, compared to negative 12.9% in the same quarter of 2024.

 

Net income from discontinued operations was zero (USD zero) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to RMB53.1 million for the same quarter of 2024.

 

Net loss was RMB75.9 million (USD10.6 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to RMB46.4 million for the same quarter of 2024.

 

Basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share was RMB2.32 (USD0.32) in the second quarter of 2025, compared to RMB1.45 in the same quarter of 2024. Adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share was RMB1.21 (USD0.17) in the second quarter of 2025, compared to RMB1.50 in the same quarter of 2024.

 

Liquidity

 

As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s total cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and time deposits were RMB178.8 million (USD25.0 million), compared to RMB184.2 million as of December 31, 2024.

The Company defines (i) company owned and operated store contribution as fully burdened gross profit of company owned and operated stores excluding depreciation and amortization; (ii) company owned and operated store contribution margin as company owned and operated store contribution as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores; (iii) adjusted general and administrative expenses as general and administrative expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses, expenses related to the Commitment Shares, the ESA Offering Costs, the Option Shares, professional fees related to warrant exchange and other financing programs, and impairment losses of rental deposits; (iv) adjusted corporate EBITDA as operating loss for continuing operations excluding certain non-cash expenses consisting of depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expenses, impairment losses of long-lived assets, loss on disposal of property and equipment, expenses related to the Commitment Shares, the ESA Offering Costs, the Option Shares, professional fees related to warrant exchange and other financing programs, and impairment losses of rental deposits; (v) adjusted corporate EBITDA margin as adjusted corporate EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues; (vi) adjusted net loss as net loss for continuing operations excluding share-based compensation expenses, impairment losses of long-lived assets, loss on disposal of property and equipment, expenses related to the Commitment Shares, the ESA Offering Costs, the Option Shares, professional fees related to warrant exchange and other financing programs, impairment losses of rental deposits, changes in fair value of convertible notes, changes in fair value of warrant liabilities, changes in fair value of ESA derivative liabilities, loss of the debt extinguishment and gain on disposal of Popeyes business; (vii) adjusted net loss margin as adjusted net loss as a percentage of total revenues; and (viii) adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share as adjusted net loss for continuing operations attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders divided by weighted-average number of basic and diluted ordinary share.

The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measures, which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance. For reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the section of the accompanying tables titled, “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to the Most Directly Comparable GAAP Measures.” The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.
