1. ORGANIZATION

Chindata Group Holding Limited (the “Company”) is a limited liability company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on December 27, 2018. The Company, its subsidiaries, the variable interest entities, and subsidiaries of the variable interest entities are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Group”. The Group is principally engaged in the provision of internet data center (“IDC”) colocation and rental services in Asia-Pacific emerging markets. The Company does not conduct any substantive operations on its own but instead conducts its primary business operations through its subsidiaries, the variable interest entities, and subsidiaries of the variable interest entities, which are primarily located in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”), and Malaysia.

As of March 31, 2021, there have been no changes to the Company’s principal subsidiaries, variable interest entities, and subsidiaries of the variable interest entities since December 31, 2020.

To comply with PRC laws and regulations which prohibit foreign control of companies that engage in value-added telecommunication services, the Group primarily conducts its business in the PRC through its variable interest entities, Sitan (Beijing) Data Technology Company Limited and Hebei Qinshu Information Technology Company Limited, and subsidiaries of the variable interest entities (collectively, the “VIEs”). The equity interests of the VIEs are legally held by PRC shareholders (the “Nominee Shareholders”). Despite the lack of technical majority ownership, the Company has effective control of the VIEs through a series of contractual arrangements (the “Contractual Agreements”) and a parent-subsidiary relationship exists between the Company and the VIEs. Through the Contractual Agreements, the Nominee Shareholders effectively assigned all of their voting rights underlying their equity interests in the VIEs to the WFOE, who immediately assigned the voting rights underlying their equity interests in the VIEs to Stack Midco Limited, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Therefore, the Company has the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact its economic performance. The Company also has the ability and obligation to absorb substantially all of the profits and all the expected losses of the VIEs that potentially could be significant to the VIEs. Based on the above, the Company consolidates the VIEs in accordance with SEC Regulation SX-3A-02 and Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”).

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information using accounting policies that are consistent with those used in the preparation of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, operating results and cash flows of the Company for each of the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year of 2021. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, and the VIEs for which a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Convenience translation

Amounts in U.S. dollars are presented for the convenience of the reader and are translated at the noon buying rate of RMB6.5518 per US$1.00 on March 31, 2021 in the City of New York for cable transfers of RMB as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at such rate.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Fair value measurements

Financial instruments of the Group primarily include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, derivatives, contingent receivable, amounts due from and due to related parties, accounts payable, certain other current assets and liabilities, short-term bank loans and long-term bank loans. The carrying amount of the long-term bank loans approximates its fair value due to the fact that the related interest rate approximates the interest rates currently offered by financial institutions for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities. The derivatives and contingent receivable were recorded at fair value as determined on the respective issuance or origination date and subsequently adjusted to its fair value at each reporting date. The Group determined the fair values of the derivatives and contingent receivable with the assistance of an independent appraiser. The Group applies ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), in measuring fair value. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures to be provided on fair value measurement. The carrying values of the remaining financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities.

The Group’s derivatives represent forward exchange rate contracts and interest rate swaps that did not qualify for hedge accounting in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). As of March 31, 2021, the total notional amount of the derivative contracts was MYR633,494 and RMB110,000, respectively. A gain of RMB7,960 and RMB6,972 (US$1,064) was recognized within “Changes in fair value of financial instruments” in the interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The estimated fair value of the derivatives is determined at discrete points in time with reference to the market rates using industry standard valuation techniques.

The Group measured the fair value of its contingent receivable on a recurring basis using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs as of March 31, 2021. The valuation of the contingent receivable is performed using Monte Carlo simulation model with unobservable inputs including weighted average cost of capital as well as the performance target, which is assessed by the Group.

Concentration of credit risk

Assets that potentially subject the Group to significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and contingent receivable. The Group expects that there is no significant credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, which were held by reputable financial institutions in the jurisdictions where the Company, its subsidiaries, and the VIEs are located. The Group believes that it is not exposed to unusual risks as these financial institutions have high credit quality. The risk with respect to the contingent receivable is mitigated by the ongoing assessment of the counterparty’s credit quality by reference to the counterparty’s default history. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from revenues earned from reputable customers. As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, the Group had one customers with a receivable balance exceeding 10% of the total accounts receivable balance. The risk with respect to accounts receivable is mitigated by credit evaluations the Group performs on its customers and its ongoing monitoring process of outstanding balances.

9. TAXATION

The Company’s effective tax rates are -1,063.8% and 27.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate is mainly due to the increase in taxable income in certain PRC subsidiaries and increase in certain non-deductible expenses including share-based compensation as a percentage of the Company’s total income before tax.

The Group evaluated its income tax uncertainty in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. The Group elects to classify interest and penalties related to an uncertain tax position, if and when required, as part of income tax expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, there were no significant impact from tax uncertainties on the Group’s financial position and result of operations. The Group does not expect the amount of unrecognized tax benefits would increase significantly in the next 12 months. In general, the tax authorities have five to seven years to conduct examinations of the tax filings of the Group’s subsidiaries. Accordingly, the subsidiaries’ tax years of 2015 through 2020 remain open to examination by the respective tax authorities.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Capital expenditure commitments

The Group has commitments of RMB859,895 (US$131,246) for the purchase of certain data center equipment and construction in progress as of March 31, 2021, which are scheduled to be paid within one to two years.

Contingencies

In August 2020 (“Termination Date”), Bridge Datacentres (Mumbai) LLP (“Bridge Mumbai”), the Company’s subsidiary in India, exercised its rights under the force majeure clause and terminated its construction contact with Sterling & Wilson Private Limited (“S&W”), the contractor of its data center in India. Pursuant to the termination, S&W made a claim against Bridge Mumbai towards amounts payable for work performed through Termination Date, other costs and losses. In turn, Bridge Mumbai also submitted a claim against S&W towards the refund of cash advance payments previously made, and losses caused by S&W including delay in work performed, defective work, and replacement of contractor. In March 2021, Bridge Mumbai submitted a statement of defense. Based on management’s estimation and legal counsel’s advice, RMB32,558 (US$4,969) has been accrued and recorded in “Others, net” in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss of year 2020. No additional loss has been accrued and recorded in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as no significant changes to the management`s estimation and legal counsel`s advice.
