Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Total net revenues were RMB3,208.3 million (US
- Net revenues from franchised teahouses in the third quarter of 2025 were RMB2,811.6 million (US
$394.9 million ), compared to RMB3,299.0 million in the same quarter of 2024. This was mainly attributable to a decrease in the number of cups sold which led to a decrease in total GMV in Greater China market. Such decline in sales volume was primarily due to the intensified subsidy competition among food delivery platforms in China seeking to stimulate consumer traffic. Net revenues from franchised teahouses represented87.6% of the Company’s total net revenues for the third quarter of 2025. - Net revenues from company-owned teahouses in the third quarter of 2025 were RMB396.7 million (US
$55.7 million ), representing an increase of63.8% from RMB242.2 million in the same quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by the expansion of the company-owned teahouse network in both the Greater China and overseas markets. Net revenues from company-owned teahouses represented12.4% of the Company’s total net revenues for the third quarter of 2025.
Total operating expenses were RMB2,753.9 million (US
- Cost of materials, storage and logistics was RMB1,481.8 million (US
$208.1 million ), representing a decrease of16.1% from RMB1,765.3 million in the same quarter of 2024. The decrease was mainly driven by lower raw materials, packaging materials and equipment costs due to slowing teahouse network expansion, and improved procurement cost controls leveraging an expanded supplier base and enhanced bargaining power. - Company-owned teahouse operating costs were RMB271.4 million (US
$38.1 million ), representing an increase of94.7% from RMB139.4 million in the same quarter of 2024. The increase mainly resulted from the addition of 215 company-owned teahouses in both the Greater China and overseas markets, which drove the increase in payroll, store rental, utilities, and other store operating expenses. - Other operating costs were RMB178.9 million (US
$25.1 million ), representing an increase of7.3% from RMB166.7 million in the same quarter of 2024. This was mainly due to (i) an increase of RMB28.1 million in payroll expenses (excluding share-based compensation expenses), which was driven by a strategic expansion in headcount facilitating the expansion of company-owned and franchised teahouse operations and supporting the accelerated penetration of overseas markets, and (ii) an increase of RMB6.9 million in share-based compensation expenses. Other operating costs as a percentage of total net revenues were5.6% , compared to4.7% in the same quarter of 2024. - Sales and marketing expenses were RMB304.5 million (US
$42.8 million ), representing a decrease of13.4% from RMB351.7 million in the same quarter of 2024. This was mainly driven by lower advertising expenses associated with more prudent branding promotion. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total net revenues were9.5% , compared to9.9% in the same quarter of 2024. - General and administrative expenses were RMB517.4 million (US
$72.7 million ), representing an increase of59.7% from RMB323.9 million in the same quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by increases of (i) RMB88.0 million in share-based compensation expenses for administration and research; (ii) RMB56.3 million in rental, utilities, office, travel, and professional service expenses for administration, which was attributable to business expansion; and (iii) RMB53.2 million in payroll expenses (excluding share-based compensation expenses) due to the staff augmentation of administrative personnel to support the Company's growing operational scale and global expansion. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total net revenues were16.1% , compared to9.1% in the same quarter of 2024.

Key Definitions
- GMV (gross merchandise value) refers to gross merchandise value, a key operating metric that the Company’s management uses to measure and evaluate teahouses’ sales performance, which represents the sales value of product(s) in consumer orders (excluding unfulfilled, canceled or returned consumer orders, and including relevant value-added taxes) before discounts, if any, are applied, including shipping charges paid by consumers for orders placed on its mobile mini program, but excluding those charges paid by consumers for orders placed on other third-party online delivery platforms.
- Average monthly GMV per teahouse in Greater China is calculated by dividing (i) the sum of GMV generated by the monthly fully operational teahouses in Greater China in each calendar month during the specific period by (ii) the sum of the total number of the monthly fully operational teahouses in Greater China in each calendar month during the corresponding period.
- Same store GMV growth refers to the growth rate of GMV generated by same stores in Greater China and/or overseas during that specific period compared to GMV generated by these same stores during the corresponding period in the preceding year. Same stores are defined to be teahouses that (i) have been in operation for at least 13 months, and (ii) without material operational changes in both comparison periods.
- Registered members refer to member accounts registered with our mobile mini program.
- Active members refer to registered members who placed an order for the Company’s products at least once in a given period.
- Non-GAAP net income. Calculated by net income excluding share-based compensation expenses.
- Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per share. Calculated as non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders divided by weighted average number of basic and diluted share.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company considers non-GAAP net income, a non-GAAP financial measure, as a supplemental measure to review and assess the operating performance. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure 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. The Company presents this non-GAAP financial measure because it is used by the management to evaluate the operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company also believes that the use of this non-GAAP measure facilitates investors’ assessment of the operating performance.
This non-GAAP financial measure is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool. One of the key limitations of using this non-GAAP financial measure is that it does not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the operations. Further, this non-GAAP measure may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore its comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling this non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating the performance. The Company encourages you to review the financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
The Company’s non-GAAP financial measure reflects adjustments for share-based compensation expense. The Company believes that the exclusion of share-based compensation expense is appropriate because it eliminates the impact of non-cash expenses that are based upon valuation methodologies and assumptions that vary over time, and the amount of the expense can vary significantly between companies due to factors that are unrelated to their core operating performance and that can be outside of their control. Although the Company excludes share-based compensation expense from the non-GAAP measure, equity compensation has been, and will continue to be, an important part of future compensation strategy and a significant component of future expenses and may increase in future periods.
