Charging volume and number of orders transacted through NaaS's network reached 2,352 GWh and 100.3 million, respectively, in the first half of 2024, whilst the proportion of orders with positive NTR increased to 64%. These factors contributed to an increase in revenue generated from its charging services. NaaS offers platform-based incentives to end-users to boost the use of its network. Charging services revenues are recorded net of end-user incentives. Costs associated with end-user incentives and recorded as reductions to total revenues totaled RMB97.0 million (US$13.3 million) and RMB80.4 million for the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Energy solutions revenues increased by 105% year over year to RMB44.0 million (US$6.1 million) for the second quarter of 2024 and 182% year over year to RMB91.2 million (US$12.5 million) for the first half of 2024. The increase was primarily derived from energy solution projects as the Company continues to deliver renewable energy generation, energy management and energy storage solutions.

New initiatives revenues were RMB2.9 million (US$0.4 million) for the second quarter of 2024 and RMB4.1 million (US$0.6 million) for the first half of 2024, representing an increase of 139% and 68%, respectively. This growth was primarily driven by the Company's efforts to derive new source of income from advertising and promotion services over its charging services network.

Cost of revenues, gross profit and gross margin

Total cost of revenues increased 108% year over year to RMB61.2 million (US$8.4 million) for the second quarter of 2024 and increased 124% year over year to RMB133.1 million (US$18.3 million) for the first half of 2024. The changes were largely in line with revenue growth.

Total gross profit grew 59% year over year to RMB30.5 million (US$4.2 million) for the second quarter of 2024 from RMB19.1 million in the same period of 2023, benefiting from solid growth in high margin charging services revenue. Total gross profit grew 117% year over year to RMB54.8 million (US$7.5 million) for the first half of 2024 from RMB25.2 million for the same period of 2023, benefiting from solid revenue growth.

[1] Non-IFRS net profit/loss was arrived at after excluding share-based compensation expenses, fair value changes of convertible instruments, and fair value changes of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss from net profit or loss. Non-IFRS net margin was calculated by dividing non-IFRS net loss by total revenue. Please refer to the section titled "Non-IFRS Financial Measures".

[2] NTR means Net Take Rate and measures NaaS' return from transactions arising from its mobility connectivity services after adjusting for incentives which are paid to end-users through NaaS' partnered platform in the form of discounts and promotions to boost the use of its network. NTR is calculated by taking NaaS' gross receipts from transactions, deducting transaction outgoings and incentives, and adding income from membership programs. The result is then expressed as a percentage of the total transaction value.

[3] GTR means Gross Take Rate and is calculated as the percentage of NaaS' commission income derived from the gross transaction value at charging stations, indicating the Company's share of charging stations' gross income.

[4] Non-IFRS operating expenses were arrived at after excluding share-based compensation expenses from operating expenses. Please refer to the section titled "Non-IFRS Financial Measures" for details.
