  • Total Gross Merchandise Volume (“GMV”) of JDDJ for the twelve months ended June 30, 2023 was RMB70.8 billion, an increase of 29.8% year over year from RMB54.6 billion in the same period of 2022.

“We are proud to announce our first-ever positive quarterly non-GAAP net income1,” said Mr. Jeff He, President of Dada. “The remarkable milestone demonstrates the competitive viability of our unique business model and a result of our strategy to pursue high-quality growth. Convinced of the long-term market potential in the on-demand retail and delivery industry, we will continue to create sustainable value for all our stakeholders by deepening our partnership with retailers and brand owners, optimizing consumer experience, bringing flexible employment opportunities to riders, and strengthening our strategic cooperation with JD.com.”

“With consistent strategy and strong execution, we successfully turned profitable on a non-GAAP basis while maintaining strong growth momentum,” said Mr. Beck Chen, Chief Financial Officer of Dada. “In the second quarter, our revenue grew by over 23% year over year. Meanwhile, our non-GAAP net margin1 improved by over 17 percentage points year over year.”

Note:

(1) Includes net revenues from (i) commission fee, and online advertising and marketing services of RMB897,223 and RMB1,185,197 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively; and (ii) fulfillment services and others of RMB563,389 and RMB644,968 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively.

  • Net revenues generated from Dada Now increased by 20.2% from RMB815.6 million in the second quarter of 2022 to RMB980.4 million in the second quarter of 2023, mainly driven by the increases in order volume of intra-city delivery service to chain merchants.
  • Net revenues generated from JDDJ increased by 24.9% from RMB1,465.5 million in the second quarter of 2022 to RMB1,830.2 million in the second quarter of 2023, mainly due to the increase in GMV. The increase in online marketing services revenue as a result of the increasing promotional activities launched by brand owners and retailers also contributed to the increment of the net revenues generated from JDDJ.

Total costs and expenses were RMB3,017.8 million, compared with RMB2,909.3 million in the same quarter of 2022.

  • Operations and support costs were RMB1,716.8 million, compared with RMB1,431.3 million in the same quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase in rider cost as a result of increasing order volume for intra-city delivery services provided to various chain merchants, and (ii) an increase in costs for promotional activities. 
  • Selling and marketing expenses were RMB1,136.7 million, compared with RMB1,190.2 million in the same quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to (i) a decrease in advertising and marketing expenses, and (ii) a decrease in incentives to JDDJ consumers.
  • General and administrative expenses were RMB56.4 million, compared with RMB99.9 million in the same quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to efficient expense control measures and decreased share-based compensation expenses.
  • Research and development expenses were RMB102.0 million, compared with RMB160.0 million in the same quarter of 2022. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in research and development personnel cost.

Loss from operations was RMB197.0 million, compared with RMB608.7 million in the same quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP loss from operations2 was RMB28.6 million, compared with RMB424.2 million in the same quarter of 2022.

Net loss was RMB158.7 million, compared with RMB578.8 million in the same period of 2022.

Non-GAAP net income1 was RMB8.4 million, compared with a loss of RMB395.6 million in the same period of 2022.

Net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada was RMB158.7 million, compared with RMB578.8 million in the same quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada3 was RMB8.4 million, compared with a loss of RMB395.6 million in the same quarter of 2022.

Basic and diluted net loss per share was RMB0.15, compared with RMB0.60 for the second quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per share4 was RMB0.01, compared with a loss of RMB0.41 for the second quarter of 2022.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had RMB3,945.1 million in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments, a decrease from RMB4,370.4 million as of December 31, 2022.

Environment, Social Responsibility and Corporate Governance

  • At the end of May, Dada published its 2022 ESG report. The report details Dada’s ESG commitments and key initiatives featuring shareholders, employees, users, partners, and the community. Dada continues to optimize its ESG practices and aims to share its sustainable development philosophy with the wider public by continuously enhancing the transparency of its disclosures.
  • Dada recently added a dedicated Rider Care module on the Dada Now Rider Version App, where riders can find information about rider care events, exclusive benefits, among others. At the beginning of July, Dada rolled out Summer Care campaign for the 8th consecutive year, providing riders with subsidies for working in hot weather, distributing heat stroke prevention kits, and setting up stations with medicine boxes, freezers, and other supplies across the country to enhance riders’ delivery experience.
  • Dada has also extended care to our riders’ family. In May, Dada officially launched the College Scholarship program, which provides scholarships to riders’ children who have financial difficulty but excel academically.
  • Hot weather poses challenge for all outdoor workers. In July, Dada cooperated with merchants and brand owners to set up “Free Water” stations in cities including Beijing and Shanghai to provide people exposed to high temperature with free drinking water.

Business Outlook

For the third quarter of 2023, Dada expects total net revenues to be between RMB2,800 million and RMB3,000 million, representing year-over-year growth of 17.6% to 26.0%. This outlook is based on information available as of the date of this press release and reflects the Company's current and preliminary expectations, which are subject to change in light of various uncertainties.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company also uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating its business. For example, the Company uses non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income/(loss), non-GAAP net margin, non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada and non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada per share as supplemental measures to review and assess its financial and 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 U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations is income/(loss) from operations excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition. Non-GAAP operating margin is non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations as a percentage of total net revenues. Non-GAAP net income/(loss) is net income/(loss) excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition and tax benefit from amortization of such intangible assets. Non-GAAP net margin is non-GAAP net income/(loss) as a percentage of total net revenues. Non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada is net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition and tax benefit from amortization of such intangible assets. Non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada per share is non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada divided by weighted average number of shares used in calculating net income/(loss) per share.

The Company presents the non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by the Company’s management to evaluate the Company’s financial and operating performance and formulate business plans. Non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations and non-GAAP net income/(loss) enable the Company’s management to assess the Company’s financial and operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition and tax benefit from amortization of such intangible assets. The Company also believes that the use of the non-GAAP measures facilitates investors’ assessment of the Company’s financial and operating performance.

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. One of the key limitations of using non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income/(loss), non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada, and non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada per share is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations. Share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition and tax benefit from amortization of such intangible assets have been and may continue to be incurred in the Company’s business and is not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income/(loss), non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada, and non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada per share. Further, the non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP measures used by other companies, including peer companies, potentially limiting the comparability of their financial results to the Company’s. In light of the foregoing limitations, the non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income/(loss), non-GAAP net margin, non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada and non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada per share for the period should not be considered in isolation from or as an alternative to income/(loss) from operations, operating margin, net income/(loss), net margin, net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada and net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada per share, or other financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measures, which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance. For reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the section of the accompanying tables titled, “Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results.”
