Rhea-AI Summary

VNET Group, Inc. reported a 16.3% year-over-year increase in net revenues for Q3 2022, totaling RMB1.81 billion (US$255 million). This growth was driven by demand in both wholesale and retail IDC sectors. However, the company faced a net loss of RMB425.2 million (US$59.8 million) due to a significant foreign exchange loss. Adjusted EBITDA slightly rose by 1.1% to RMB455.3 million (US$64 million), but adjusted EBITDA margin declined to 25.1%. Looking ahead, VNET expects full-year net revenues between RMB7,250 million and RMB7,550 million.

BEIJING, Nov. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- VNET Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: VNET) ("VNET" or the "Company"), a leading carrier- and cloud-neutral Internet data center services provider in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

"In the third quarter of 2022, we maintained steady growth across each of our business lines with a continued focus on fulfilling market demand for high-quality and reliable IDC services against the complicated macro backdrop," said Jeff Dong, Chief Executive Officer of VNET. "Led by our dual-core growth strategy, we continued to gain sales momentum in our wholesale business while expanding our customer base with exciting progress in value-added service offerings of our retail business. On top of our success to acquire a wholesale service contract of approximately 15MW with a leading cloud service provider in the third quarter, we recently once again extended our contract with one of our existing wholesale customers, a leading social platform in China, to add new capacity of approximately 33MW. Looking ahead, we still see strong long-term demand with accelerating digital transformation across a wide spectrum of verticals. We will continue to execute prudently yet decisively, strategically positioning VNET to capture rising opportunities and creating sustainable value for our stakeholders along the way."

Tim Chen, Chief Financial Officer of VNET, commented, "We are pleased to report another quarter of results which reflect the effectiveness and agility of our dual-core growth strategy in a challenging macro environment. Our net revenues for the quarter increased by 16.3% year-over-year to RMB1.81 billion and adjusted EBITDA reached RMB455.3 million. We remain confident in our distinctive growth strategy, outstanding value proposition and a powerful suite of service offerings, which empower us to capitalize on long-term prospects of the data center industry."
