Filing Explained

As of June 30, 2026, preliminary results include short-term bank borrowings, adding a disclosed near-term liability.

As a Form 6-K, this is a foreign private issuer’s interim report furnishing material information published in its home market. Luckin reports preliminary unaudited second-quarter results, so the figures are not final and may differ materially after the year-end audit.

At June 30, 2026, the balance sheet reports short-term bank borrowings, versus none at December 31, 2025, alongside RMB10,925.8 million of cash, restricted cash, term deposits and short-term investments.

The disclosed liquidity picture therefore includes a new short-term borrowing obligation in addition to the reported cash and investment resources.

The filing identifies completion of the year-end audit as the point at which any material differences from these preliminary figures may be established.

GMV financial
"Net revenues growth was primarily driven by a 29.8% year-over-year increase in GMV"
Gross merchandise value (GMV) is the total dollar value of all goods and services sold through a platform or marketplace over a given period, measured before deducting fees, returns, or discounts. Investors watch GMV to gauge the raw size and growth of customer activity—like counting every ticket sold at a concert before subtracting organizer costs—while remembering it is not the same as revenue or profit.
same-store sales growth financial
"Same-store sales growth for self-operated stores was (5.3)% in the quarter"
Same-store sales growth measures how much revenue changes at outlets that have been open for a comparable period (typically a year), excluding sales from newly opened or recently closed locations. It matters to investors because it shows whether demand is growing at the business’s existing operations — like checking whether established trees are producing more fruit rather than counting fruit from newly planted trees — and helps separate true organic performance from growth driven by expansion or closures.
non-GAAP operating income financial
"Non-GAAP operating income was RMB2,395.9 million, representing an increase of 26.5%"
Non-GAAP operating income is a measure of a company's profit from its core business activities, calculated by excluding certain expenses or income that are not part of regular operations. It provides a clearer picture of how well the business is performing by focusing on ongoing operations, helping investors compare companies more consistently and make better-informed decisions.
Non-GAAP net income financial
"Non-GAAP net income was RMB1,753.4 million, representing an increase of 22.8%"
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.
ADS financial
"Basic and diluted net income per ADS was RMB4.64 (US$0.64), respectively"
Ads are paid promotional messages a company places across media — online, on TV, in print, or on social platforms — to attract customers, explain products, or shape public perception. For investors, ads matter because they drive sales growth, affect how much a company must spend to win customers, and influence brand strength and long-term value. Ads can also create regulatory or reputational risk if claims are misleading, which can affect profits and stock price.
mezzanine equity financial
"Mezzanine equity includes convertible senior preferred shares of RMB1,514,660"
Mezzanine equity is a layer of financing that sits between bank loans and full ownership, combining elements of borrowed money and equity. It often gives lenders higher potential returns in exchange for taking more risk, sometimes with the option to convert into ownership or receive extra payments; think of it as a middle seat that pays more because it’s less secure than front-row debt. Investors watch it because it affects a company’s debt risk, potential dilution of ownership, and expected returns.

The increase primarily resulted from the Company’s business expansion.

·Sales and marketing expenses were RMB925.1 million (US$136.1 million), representing an increase of 56.1% from RMB592.5 million in the same quarter of 2025. The increase was mainly driven by higher spending on (i) advertising and other promotion expenses and (ii) commissions to third-party food delivery and live streaming platforms.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP operating income/(loss) and non-GAAP net income/(loss), each a non-GAAP financial measure, in reviewing and assessing the Company’s 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. The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by the Company’s management to evaluate operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in the Company’s business, provide further information about the Company’s results of operations and enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects.

 

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. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations and do not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Furthermore, these non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance. The Company encourages investors and others to review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

 

The Company defines non-GAAP operating income/(loss) as operating income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP net income/(loss) as net income/(loss) excluding recurring item of share-based compensation expenses and income tax effects of GAAP to non-GAAP reconciling items, and non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders as net income/(loss) attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders excluding recurring item of share-based compensation expenses and income tax effects of GAAP to non-GAAP reconciling items.

 

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to the Most Directly Comparable GAAP Measures” set forth at the end of this earnings release.
