Dingdong (Cayman) Limited Announces Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

SHANGHAI, August 11, 2022 — Dingdong (Cayman) Limited (“Dingdong” or the “Company”) (NYSE: DDL), a leading fresh grocery e-commerce company in China, with advanced supply chain capabilities, today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Second Quarter 2022 Highlights:

 

 

GMV for the second quarter of 2022 increased by 32.3% year over year to RMB7,115.2 million (US$1,062.3 million) from RMB5,378.1 million in the same quarter of 2021.

 

 

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2022 increased by 42.8% year over year to RMB6,634.4 million (US$990.5 million) from RMB4,646.0 million in the same quarter of 2021.

 

 

Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2022 was RMB20.6 million (US$3.1 million), compared with non-GAAP net loss of RMB1,728.5 million in the same quarter of 2021.

Mr. Changlin Liang, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Dingdong, stated,

“Fresh food is not ordinary consumer goods. Therefore, we aim to ensure not only food availability but also food quality. We bring happiness and passion for life to the public through food, and infuse inspiration and soulfulness into food. Only a team with unswerving, whole-hearted commitment and dedication can achieve this goal.”

Ms. Le Yu, Chief Strategy Officer of Dingdong, stated,

“As we established word-of-mouth on our product development capabilities among consumers, comparing our pre-lockdown and post-lockdown performances this year, we also saw a significant increase in the AOV post-lockdown and an improvement in our operational efficiency, which validated our “efficiency first, with due consideration to scale” strategy.

Looking ahead to Q3, we expect quality revenue growth with narrowing losses compared to the pre-lockdown Q1 this year. We also expect to achieve a single-month, non-GAAP break-even in December this year.”

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Total revenues were RMB6,634.4 million (US$990.5 million), representing an increase of 42.8% from the same period of 2021, primarily driven by the robust growth in the Company’s GMV, with a higher conversion ratio from GMV to revenue.

 

 

Product Revenues were RMB6,554.0 million (US$978.5 million), an increase of 42.4% from RMB4,603.3 million in the same quarter of 2021, primarily driven by the increase in average order value.

 

 

Service Revenues were RMB80.4 million (US$12.0 million), an increase of 88.1% from RMB42.7 million in the same quarter of 2021, primarily driven by the increase in the number of customers subscribing to Dingdong’s membership program.

Total operating costs and expenses were RMB6,634.6 million (US$990.5 million), an increase of 0.8% from RMB6,583.6 million in the same quarter of 2021, with a detailed breakdown as below.

 

 

Cost of Goods Sold was RMB4,537.3 million (US$677.4 million), an increase of 14.4% from RMB3,967.4 million in the same quarter of 2021, primarily driven by the increase in total revenue. Gross margin was 31.6%, which significantly improved from 14.6% in the same quarter of 2021.

 

 

Fulfillment expenses were RMB1,541.8 million (US$230.2 million) a decrease of 9.0% from RMB1,693.5 million in the same quarter of 2021. Fulfillment expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased from 36.5% to 23.2%, mainly driven by the increase of average order value and improved frontline labor efficiency.


 

Sales and marketing expenses were RMB146.7 million (US$21.9 million), a decrease of 64.2% from RMB410.0 million in the same quarter of 2021, as product development capabilities became our primary growth driver and we attracted customers more efficiently.

 

 

General and administrative expenses were RMB153.5 million (US$22.9 million), a decrease of 49.9% from RMB306.3 million in the same quarter of 2021, mainly due to decreased share-based compensation expenses.

 

 

Product development expenses were RMB255.3 million (US$38.1 million), an increase of 23.7% from RMB206.5 million in the same quarter of 2021, mainly due to the increased investments in product development capability, agricultural technology, technical data algorithms, and other infrastructure.

Loss from operations was RMB0.2 million (US$0.04 million), compared with operating loss of RMB1,937.6 million in the same quarter of 2021.

Net loss was RMB34.5 million (US$5.2 million), compared with net loss of RMB1,937.4 million in the same quarter of 2021.

Non-GAAP net income / (loss), which is a non-GAAP measure that excludes share-based compensation expenses, was RMB20.6 million (US$3.1 million), a significant improvement from RMB(1,728.5) million in the same quarter of 2021. In addition, our non-GAAP net margin, which is our non-GAAP net income / (loss) as a percentage of revenues, improved to 0.3% from (37.2%) in the same quarter of 2021.

Basic and diluted net loss per share were RMB0.11 (US$0.02), compared with RMB33.27 in the same quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP net income / (loss) per share, basic and diluted, was RMB0.06 (US$0.01), compared with RMB (30.05) in the same quarter of 2021. The weighted average number of ordinary shares used to compute the basic and diluted net loss per share and non-GAAP net income / (loss) per share were 64,908,700 and 324,345,013 in the second quarter of 2021 and 2022, respectively. All outstanding redeemable convertible preferred shares were not included in the computation until July 2021, when they were converted into ordinary shares upon the completion of the Company’s initial public offering.

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were RMB6,063.8 million (US$905.3 million) as of June 30, 2022, compared with RMB5,231.1 million as of December 31, 2021.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP measures, such as non-GAAP net income / (loss), non-GAAP net margin and non-GAAP net income / (loss) per share, basic and diluted, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, which are non-cash charges and do not correlate to any operating activity trends. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about the Company’s results of operations, enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making.

The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing the Company’s operating performance, cash flows or liquidity, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for net loss, cash flows provided by operating activities or other consolidated statements of operations and cash flows data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company’s definition of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those of industry peers and may not be comparable with their non-GAAP financial measures.

The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance.

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this announcement.
