We also continue to add more high-standard and featured products and services to our platform, strategically expanding and deepening our alliances with reliable produce sources and major brands. We increased our direct-sourced produce, demonstrating our end-to-end supply chain strengths and supporting improved operating leverage. Our strategy is effective and the average price per order grew year-over-year across a larger customer base in the third quarter.

“As we further expand our core capabilities, we are excited to leverage technological advances that empower customers to enjoy fresh groceries in a fast, convenient, secure and reliable manner. With our consistent focus on both the diversity and quality of the products and services that we offer, we are confident that our multipronged business strategy will support our accelerated growth in the immediate future and over the long run.

With our highly competitive offering, leading technology, operational acumen and understanding of the evolving market, we anticipate continued top-line growth and improved unit economics in the coming quarters.”

Third Quarter 2021 Unaudited Financial Results

Total net revenues reached RMB2,121.9 million (US$329.3 million) for the third quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 47.2% year-over-year from RMB1,441.2 million in the same period of 2020.

The increase was primarily driven by the increase in the number of orders fulfilled as a result of increased number of transacting users and an increase in the next day delivery sales.

Other revenues reached RMB43.7 million (US$6.8 million) for the third quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 14.1% from RMB38.3 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to the increase in sales of products through our Convenience Go smart vending machine business and the increase in revenue from membership fees as the Company enhanced promotional activities for its membership program.

The year-over-year decrease was primarily attributable to the increase in discounts, coupons and incentives offered to customers in the 2021 period.

Operating expenses were RMB1,231.4 million (US$191.1 million) for the third quarter of 2021, compared to RMB728.1 million in the same period of 2020, with a detailed breakdown below.

Fulfillment expenses were RMB637.9 million (US$99.0 million) for the third quarter of 2021, compared to RMB396.2 million in the same period of 2020, primarily attributable to the increase in the number of orders fulfilled and the increase in headcount of product delivery, warehouse operations, quality control and customer service staff to further enhance fulfillment capabilities.

Sales and marketing expenses were RMB256.2 million (US$39.8 million) for the third quarter of 2021, compared to RMB170.3 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to the increase in advertising and marketing promotion expenses incurred from both online and offline advertising activities to acquire new customers and retain existing customers.

General and administrative expenses were RMB192.2 million (US$29.8 million) for the third quarter of 2021, compared to RMB74.5 million in the same period of 2020. The increase was mainly due to the increases in the recognition of share-based compensation and the number of management staff for new business initiatives.

Technology and content expenses were RMB145.1 million (US$22.5 million) for the third quarter of 2021, compared to RMB87.2 million in the same period of 2020.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP measures, such as non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP net loss per share and non-GAAP net loss per ADS, as supplemental measures to review and assess 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The company defines non-GAAP loss from operations as loss from operations excluding share-based compensation. The company defines non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders as net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation, change in fair value of options and embedded conversion feature, accretion of convertible redeemable preferred shares to redemption value, and accretion of convertible redeemable non-controlling preferred shares to redemption value. Non-GAAP basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the periods. Non-GAAP diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares outstanding during the periods, including the dilutive effect of share-based awards as determined under the treasury stock method. Non-GAAP net loss per ADS is equal to non-GAAP net loss per share multiplied by three.

The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate operating performance and formulate business plans. Non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss, and non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders reflect the company’s ongoing business operations in a manner that allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that the use of the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors to understand and evaluate the Company’s current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management does, if they so choose. The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gain/loss and other items that are not expected to result in future cash payments or that are non-recurring in nature or may not be indicative of the Company’s core operating results and business outlook.

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