Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Dingdong (Cayman) Limited reported strong first-quarter 2026 results while preparing to sell its China business to Meituan. Total revenues rose 7.5% year over year to RMB5,892.7 million, and net income jumped to RMB165.4 million from RMB8.0 million a year earlier.

GMV grew 6.3% to RMB6,333.3 million, marking nine straight quarters of year-on-year GMV growth and profitability. Non-GAAP net income reached RMB172.0 million, with a 2.9% non-GAAP net margin. The company has now posted non-GAAP profits for fourteen consecutive quarters and GAAP profits for nine.

China operations, classified as discontinued and held-for-sale under US GAAP, drove most earnings. Stopping depreciation and amortization on these held-for-sale assets increased quarterly net income by about RMB138 million and will continue to benefit results until the Meituan transaction closes, which remains subject to conditions including anti-monopoly clearance from SAMR.

Positive

  • Strong revenue and profit growth: Q1 2026 revenues rose 7.5% year over year to RMB5,892.7 million, while net income increased sharply to RMB165.4 million from RMB8.0 million, extending nine consecutive quarters of GAAP profitability and fourteen quarters of non-GAAP profitability.
  • Cash position improving: Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments totaled RMB3,820.0 million as of March 31, 2026, and net cash (including certain long-term deposits minus short-term borrowings) rose for the twelfth consecutive quarter to RMB3,210.6 million.

Negative

  • Profitability flattered by accounting on assets held for sale: Ceasing depreciation and amortization on long-lived assets in the China business, classified as held-for-sale, increased Q1 2026 net income by approximately RMB138 million and will continue to inflate profits until the Meituan transaction completes.
  • Overseas business still loss-making and worsening: Net loss for the overseas business increased by 199.6% year over year to RMB71.4 million in Q1 2026, and non-GAAP net loss for this segment grew 242.4% to RMB70.2 million, indicating continued operating challenges outside China.
  • Key strategic transaction not yet closed: The sale of the China business to Meituan remains incomplete and is subject to customary conditions, including anti-monopoly clearance from SAMR, creating uncertainty around future business mix and timing of planned capital returns.

Insights

Dingdong shows strong Q1 profit growth, boosted by accounting and pending China sale.

Dingdong delivered Q1 2026 revenue of RMB5,892.7 million, up 7.5% year over year, with net income of RMB165.4 million versus RMB8.0 million a year earlier. GMV increased 6.3% to RMB6,333.3 million, extending multi-quarter growth and profitability streaks.

Most profit comes from the China business, now classified as discontinued operations and held for sale. Under US GAAP, long-lived assets in this segment are no longer depreciated, lifting net income by about RMB138 million this quarter and similarly affecting results until the Meituan sale closes. The overseas segment remains loss-making, with net loss from overseas operations increasing to RMB71.4 million.

The planned sale of the China business to Meituan is a major strategic shift but is not yet completed and depends on conditions including anti-monopoly clearance from SAMR. Subsequent disclosures about closing of this transaction and capital return plans, such as share repurchases or dividends using sale proceeds, will further shape the company’s profile.

discontinued operations financial
"the China business sold to Meituan as discontinued operations and the related assets and liabilities as held-for-sale"
Discontinued operations are parts of a company that it has decided to sell or shut down, and no longer plans to run in the future. This matters to investors because it helps them understand which parts of the business are ongoing and which are being phased out, providing a clearer picture of the company’s current performance and future prospects. Think of it like a store closing a department—it no longer contributes to sales or profits.
held-for-sale assets financial
"No depreciation or amortization is recorded ... for long-lived assets in the China business after being classified as the held-for-sale assets"
Assets labeled as held-for-sale are items a company intends to sell rather than keep using, such as a plant, a business unit, or a building; they are measured differently and shown separately on the balance sheet. Think of it like placing a piece of furniture in a garage sale — the company expects a cash sale soon, which matters to investors because it signals upcoming cash flow, possible write-downs if the asset’s sale value is low, and a change in the company’s future earning mix.
Non-GAAP net income financial
"Non-GAAP net income, which is a non-GAAP measure that only excludes share-based compensation expenses from net income"
Non-GAAP net income is a company's profit figure that excludes certain costs or income that are included in standard accounting methods. Companies often use it to show what their earnings might look like without one-time expenses or other unusual items, helping investors see the company's core performance more clearly.
State Administration for Market Regulation regulatory
"including the receipt of anti-monopoly clearance from the SAMR (State Administration for Market Regulation)"
A state administration for market regulation is a government agency that enforces rules for how businesses operate, such as fair competition, product safety, licensing and company registrations. Think of it as a referee for the marketplace: its decisions, approvals, fines or investigations can change a company’s legal standing, costs and growth prospects, so investors watch it because its actions can directly affect profits, risk and valuation.
share repurchase plans financial
"intention to utilize a substantial majority of the proceeds from the sale of its China operations for share repurchase plans and/or dividends"
redeemable noncontrolling interests financial
"Redeemable noncontrolling interests ... TOTAL MEZZANINE EQUITY"
A redeemable noncontrolling interest is a minority ownership stake in a company that the holder can force the company to buy back at a set price or under certain conditions. For investors this matters because it creates a future cash obligation and can be treated more like a liability than permanent equity, affecting a company’s reported debt, net income and valuation — think of it as a part-owner who can cash out, forcing the business to pay them.

Exhibit 99.1

Dingdong (Cayman) Limited Announces First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

SHANGHAI, May 21, 2026 — Dingdong (Cayman) Limited (“Dingdong” or the “Company”) (NYSE: DDL), a leading fresh grocery e-commerce company in China, with advanced supply chain capabilities, today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

First Quarter 2026 Highlights:1

 

 

 

GMV: total amount of GMV for the first quarter of 2026 increased by 6.3% year over year to RMB6,333.3 million (US$918.1 million) from RMB5,960.7 million in the same quarter of 2025, positive year-on-year growth for ninth straight quarters.

 

 

Net income: total amount of net income for the first quarter of 2026 was RMB165.4 million (US24.0 million), the ninth consecutive quarter of profitability.

 

 

Non-GAAP net income: total amount of Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2026 was RMB172.0 million (US$24.9 million), the fourteenth consecutive quarter of non-GAAP profitability.

 

 

Mr. Song Wang, the Chief Executive Officer of Dingdong, stated, “As of the first quarter of 2026, Dingdong has maintained profitability under non-GAAP standards for fourteen consecutive quarters and under GAAP standards for nine consecutive quarters. The Company has also delivered year-over-year revenue growth for the ninth consecutive quarter, and sees faster growth momentum entering the second quarter. This sustained top-line expansion, together with the consistent achievement of profitability targets, is largely driven by the Company’s continued pursuit of product supply chain excellence and efficiency, user mindshare, and system capabilities. Together, these efforts underscore Dingdong’s strategic resilience and strong execution in a competitive market, while building a solid foundation and momentum for long-term growth.”

 

On February 5, 2026, the Company announced the entry into a definitive agreement to sell its China business to Meituan (HKEX: 3690). On February 10, 2026, the Company further announced its intention to utilize a substantial majority of the proceeds from the sale of its China operations for share repurchase plans and/or dividends upon the closing of the transaction, as well as other material terms of the transaction. As of the date of this release, the transaction has not been completed, and is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of various customary conditions set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement, including the receipt of anti-monopoly clearance from the SAMR (State Administration for Market Regulation). However, under the requirements of standards under US GAAP, the Company needs to separately classify the China business sold to Meituan as discontinued operations and the related assets and liabilities as held-for-sale in the financial statements. Therefore, in the accompanying financial statements, we will distinguish between the overseas business as continuing operations, and the China business as discontinued operations and held-for-sale assets and liabilities. No depreciation or amortization is recorded in the cost and the four categories of expenses for long-lived assets in the China business after being classified as the held-for-sale assets, as assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell according to the relevant standards under US GAAP. This factor has resulted in an increase of our net income by approximately RMB138 million (US$20.0 million) in the current quarter, and this impact will continue to affect the quarterly net income every period prior to the completion of the Meituan transaction.

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Total revenues were RMB5,892.7 million (US$854.3 million), compared with total revenues of RMB5,479.0 million in the same quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 7.5% year over year. Revenue for China business2 as included in profit from discontinued operations increased by 5.9% year over year to RMB5,753.3 million (US$834.1 million), primarily due to the rise of number of orders resulting from rise in the average monthly number of transacting users


1 The Company presents the total amounts of certain line items, which represent the aggregate figures encompassing both continuing operations (overseas business) and discontinued operations (domestic China business).

2 The Company also discloses figures pertaining to its China business, which are classified within profit generated from discontinued operations. In addition, the Company separately presents data relating to its overseas business.

and higher monthly order frequency, and newly opened frontline fulfillment stations with density and market penetration improving in Eastern China. The increase was offset by the impact of the price decline in CPI for certain major categories in our business, such as pork, in the first quarter of 2026. Revenue for overseas business increased by 195.2% year over year to RMB139.4 million (US$20.2 million), primarily due to the rise of number of orders resulting from market expansion across various regions and customer base development.

 

Product Revenues were RMB5,800.7 million (US$840.9 million), compared with product revenues of RMB5,386.5 million in the same quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 7.7% year over year. Product revenues for China business increased by 6.0% year over year to RMB5,661.7 million (US$820.8 million). Product revenues for overseas business increased by 194.5% year over year to RMB139.0 million (US$20.2 million).

 

 

Service Revenues were RMB92.0 million (US$13.3 million), compared with service revenues of RMB92.5 million in the same quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 0.6% year over year. Service revenues for China business decreased by 1.0% year over year to RMB91.7 million (US$13.3 million). Service revenues for overseas business increased to RMB343.4 thousand (US$50.0 thousand).

Total operating costs and expenses were RMB5,799.2 million (US$840.7 million), compared with RMB5,519.0 million in the same quarter of 2025, with a detailed breakdown as below. No depreciation or amortization is recorded in the cost and the four categories of expenses for long-lived assets in the China business after being classified as the held-for-sale assets, as assets held for sale are measured at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell according to the relevant standards under US GAAP. This has also impacted the line items below.

 

Cost of goods sold was RMB4,133.5 million (US$599.2 million), an increase of 7.6% from RMB3,842.1 million in the same quarter of 2025. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenues remained the same at 70.1%, compared with that in the same quarter of 2025. Gross margin also remained the same at 29.9%, compared with that in the same quarter of 2025. Since the launch and continued implementation of our 4G Strategy in early 2025, the gross margin for the first quarter of 2026 was generally consistent with that of previous quarters.

 

 

Fulfillment expenses were RMB1,214.8 million (US$176.1 million), a decrease of 3.3% from RMB1,256.1 million in the same quarter of 2025. Fulfillment expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 20.6% from 22.9% in the same quarter of 2025.

 

 

 

Sales and marketing expenses were RMB123.9 million (US$18.0 million), an increase of 12.6% from RMB110.0 million in the same quarter of 2025. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues slightly increase to 2.1%, compared with 2.0% in the same quarter of 2025. The year-on-year increase in marketing expenses is attributable to the increase of staff costs.

 

 

General and administrative expenses were RMB130.2 million (US$18.9 million), an increase of 15.3% from RMB112.9 million in the same quarter of 2025, mainly driven by staff costs.

 

 

Product development expenses were RMB196.9 million (US$28.5 million), a slight decrease of 0.5% from RMB198.0 million in the same quarter of 2025. While advocating for energy and resource saving, we will continue to invest in our product development capabilities, agricultural technology, data algorithms, and other technology infrastructure such as the AI technical capability, to further enhance our competitiveness.

Income from operations was RMB145.4 million (US$21.1 million), compared with loss from operations of RMB21.2 million in the same quarter of 2025.

Net income was RMB165.4 million (US$24.0 million), compared to RMB8.0 million in the same quarter of 2025. Among which, net income for China business increased by 643.5% year over year to RMB236.9 million (US$34.3 million), which was largely due to cease of depreciation or amortization of long-lived assets classified as held-for-sale under US GAAP. This factor has resulted in an increase of our net income by approximately RMB138 million (US$20.0 million) in the current quarter, and this impact will continue to affect the quarterly net income every period prior to the completion of the Meituan transaction. Net loss for overseas business increased by 199.6% year over year to RMB71.4 million (US$10.4 million).

 


Exhibit 99.1

Non-GAAP net income, which is a non-GAAP measure that only excludes share-based compensation expenses from net income, was RMB172.0 million (US$24.9 million), an increase of 466.7% from RMB30.3 million in the same quarter of 2025. In addition, non-GAAP net income margin, which is the Company’s non-GAAP net income as a percentage of total revenues, was 2.9% compared with 0.6% in the same quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP net income for China business increased by 376.3% year over year to RMB242.1 million (US$35.1 million). Non-GAAP net loss for overseas business increased by 242.4% year over year to RMB70.2 million (US$10.2 million). Similarly, non-GAAP net income was subject to the same factors that affected net income.

Basic and diluted net income per share were RMB0.50 (US$0.07) and RMB0.50 (US$0.07), compared with net income per share of RMB0.02 and RMB0.02 in the same quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP net income per share, basic and diluted, were RMB0.52 (US$0.07) and RMB0.52 (US$0.07), compared with RMB0.09 and RMB0.09 in the same quarter of 2025.

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments were RMB3,820.0 million (US$553.8 million) as of March 31, 2026, compared with RMB3,976.8 million as of December 31, 2025. We have been working diligently to optimize our capital usage and financing structure. The cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments and long-term deposits as included in the other non-current assets deducting the balance of short-term borrowings, is RMB3,210.6 million, a net increase for the twelfth consecutive quarter, compared with RMB3,140.3 million as of December 31, 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP measures, such as non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income margin, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, which are non-cash charges and do not correlate to any operating activity trends. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about the Company’s results of operations, enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making.

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, and when assessing the Company’s operating performance, cash flows or liquidity, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for net loss, cash flows provided by operating activities or other consolidated statements of operations and cash flows data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company’s definition of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those of industry peers and may not be comparable with their non-GAAP financial measures.

The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance.

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this announcement.
