2024 Second Quarter and First Half Financial Results

Revenues

Total revenues reached RMB91.7 million (US$12.6 million) for the second quarter of 2024 and RMB187.9 million (US$25.9 million) for the first half of 2024, representing an increase of 89% and 122% year over year, respectively. The increase was mainly attributable to a steady growth in GTR^[3] and NTR for NaaS' charging services, as its market presence and network strengths began to deliver tangible benefits.

Charging services revenues contributed RMB44.8 million (US$6.2 million) for the second quarter of 2024 and RMB92.6 million (US$12.7 million) for the first half of 2024, with a growth rate of 73% and 85% year over year, respectively. 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. Gross margin for the second quarter of 2024 maintained at a healthy 33%. Gross margin for the first half of 2024 remained stable at approximately 29%, relative to the same period of 2023.

Operating expenses

Total operating expenses decreased by 65% year over year to RMB124.1 million (US$17.1 million) for the second quarter of 2024 and by 29% year over year to RMB339.9 million (US$46.8 million) for the first half of 2024. Total non-IFRS operating expenses^[4] decreased by 38% year over year to RMB82.8 million (US$11.4 million) for the second quarter of 2024 and by 5% year over year to RMB221.7 million (US$30.5 million) for the first half of 2024. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased year over year from 739% for the second quarter of 2023 to 135% for the second quarter of 2024 and decreased year over year from 565% for the first half of 2023 to 181% for the first half of 2024, while non-IFRS operating expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased year over year from 276% for the second quarter of 2023 to 90% for the second quarter of 2024 and decreased year over year from 275% for the first half of 2023 to 118% for the first half of 2024, mainly due to the increase in total revenues and optimization in operations.

Selling and marketing expenses decreased by 40% year over year to RMB51.9 million (US$7.1 million) for the second quarter of 2024, and 19% year over year to RMB123.1 million (US$16.9 million) for the first half of 2024. The decrease was mainly attributable to a reduction in personnel-related expenses and in incentives to end-users. Costs associated with excess incentives to end-users recorded as selling and marketing expenses were RMB18.3 million (US$2.5 million) and RMB44.9 million (US$6.2 million) for the second quarter and first half of 2024, respectively, compared with RMB49.9 million and RMB91.6 million in the same periods of 2023. The significant reduction in these costs was attributable to the realization of network benefits which enabled the Company to manage platform-based incentives as a percentage of the commission fees it generated through its charging services more effectively.

Administrative expenses decreased by 77% year over year to RMB61.0 million (US$8.4 million) for the second quarter of 2024, and by 40% year over year to RMB184.0 million (US$25.3 million) for the first half of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the optimization of the Company's organizational and operational structure.

Research and development expenses were maintained relatively unchanged at RMB11.3 million (US$1.6 million) for the second quarter of 2024 as compared with the same period of 2023. For the first half of 2024, research and development expenses increased by 72% year over year to RMB32.8 million (US$4.5 million) primarily due to the Company's continued dedication of resources to innovate and improve the Company's business.

Non-IFRS net loss^[1] attributable to ordinary shareholders was RMB39.9 million (US$5.5 million) for the second quarter of 2024 and RMB166.3 million (US$22.9 million) for the first half of 2024, compared with non-IFRS net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of RMB108.0 million and RMB210.3 million for the same periods in 2023, respectively.

Net cash provided by operating activities

During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was RMB13.1 million (US$1.8 million), compared to RMB56.2 million of net cash used in operating activities in the same quarter of 2023. The shift to positive cash flow was primarily due to enhanced operational efficiencies and improved cost management, which collectively contributed to more stable operational liquidity.

[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.
