Number of POIs1 reached 895 thousand as of the end of the second quarter of 2022
POIs operated through network partner model reached 43.2% as of the end of the second quarter of 2022
Cumulative registered users2 reached 310.5 million as of the end of the second quarter of 2022
SHANGHAI, China, September 8, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Smart Share Global Limited (“Energy Monster” or the “Company”), a consumer tech company providing mobile device charging service, today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2022
| · | As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s services were available in 895 thousand POIs, compared with 861 thousand as of March 31, 2022. | |
| · | As of June 30, 2022, 43.2% of POIs were operated through our network partner model, compared with 38.9% as of March 31, 2022. | |
| · | As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s available-for-use power banks3 were 6.0 million, compared with 5.7 million as of March 31, 2022. | |
| · | As of June 30, 2022, cumulative registered users reached 310.5 million, with 11.6 million newly registered users acquired during the quarter. |
“The second quarter of 2022 continues to be a challenging quarter for Energy Monster due to a number of larger-scale COVID outbreaks in various regions,” said Mars Guangyuan Cai, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “However, the impact of these outbreaks, along with the lockdown measures implemented, was better than expected as we were able to achieve revenues above our guidance. Although COVID has been challenging in terms of its direct impact on our operations, we continue to see that its impact does not systematically change user behavior as regions coming out of COVID impact are able to return to a normalized level within two months after the outbreak is fully contained. In the meantime, we will continue to strengthen the foundations of our competitive advantages by focusing on our strategies in coverage expansion and efficiency optimization.”
“Both our direct and network partner model continue to serve as the pillars of our coverage expansion strategy,” said Peifeng Xu, Chief Operating Officer. “Innovative ways of synergizing the two models have proven to be a new driver for our coverage expansion. During the second quarter, we continue to extract the synergy between the two models by allowing our direct model business development personnel to leverage their own network to identify and acquire new network partners. This has helped us significantly increase our network partner count, which in turn develop into more extensive POI coverage in both existing and newer regions. The increased levels of coverage through both models will allow Energy Monster to extract higher levels of benefit from the network effect.”
“Our efficiency is expected to improve as we scale back all forms of prepaid and fixed incentive fees, increase the contribution of the network partner model and optimize the asset efficiency of our equipment,” said Maria Yi Xin, Chief Financial Officer. “The increasing acquisition of network partners and ultimately the contribution from the network partner model increases our efficiency especially during COVID. We also continue to maximize the efficiency of our asset by reducing the cost of our equipment and improving the maintenance process of our cabinets and power banks. We believe these initiatives further improve Energy Monster’s already market-leading operational efficiency, and better mitigate the impact from COVID outbreaks.”

Revenues were RMB690.5 million (US$103.1 million4) for the second quarter of 2022, representing a 29.0% decrease from the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in revenues from mobile device charging business as a result of the impact of COVID-19 during the quarter.
| · | Revenues from mobile device charging business decreased by 27.8% to RMB672.6 million (US$100.4 million) for the second quarter of 2022 from RMB931.6 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to the impact of COVID-19 during the second quarter of 2022, which resulted in a significant decline in general offline foot traffic in China due to COVID-19 restrictions. | |
| · | Revenues from power bank sales decreased by 57.7% to RMB13.3 million (US$2.0 million) for the second quarter of 2022 from RMB31.6 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to the impact of COVID-19 during the second quarter of 2022, which resulted in a significant decline in general offline foot traffic in China due to COVID-19 restrictions. | |
| · | Revenues from other revenues, which mainly comprise of revenue from advertising services and new business initiatives, decreased by 50.8% to RMB4.5 million (US$0.7 million) for the second quarter of 2022 from RMB9.2 million in the same period of 2021.

Cost of revenues increased by 17.4% to RMB162.9 million (US$24.3 million) for the second quarter of 2022 from RMB138.7 million in the same period last year. The increase of cost of revenues was primarily due to the recognition of impairments for inventory and equipment and the increase in maintenance costs, which was partially offset by the decrease in cost of power banks sold.
Research and development expenses increased by 15.8% to RMB23.7 million (US$3.5 million) for the second quarter of 2022 from RMB20.5 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to the increase in personnel related expenses.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 13.8% to RMB664.9 million (US$99.3 million) for the second quarter of 2022 from RMB771.0 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in entry fees and incentive fees paid to location partners and personnel related expenses, which was partially offset by the increase in incentive fees paid to network partners.
General and administrative expenses decreased by 0.8% to RMB28.5 million (US$4.2 million) for the second quarter of 2022 from RMB28.7 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in personnel related expenses and office rental expenses, which was partially offset by the increase in professional service fees.
Loss from operations for the second quarter of 2022 was RMB191.0 million (US$28.5 million), compared to an income from operations of RMB18.8 million in the same period last year. The loss from operations was attributable to the impact of COVID-19 during the second quarter of 2022, which resulted in a significant decline in general offline foot traffic in China due to COVID-19 restrictions.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE
In evaluating its business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP adjusted net income/(loss) in reviewing and assessing its 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 management to evaluate operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure helps identify underlying trends in its business, provide further information about its results of operations, and enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and have limitations as analytical tools. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measure does not reflect all items of expenses that affect its operations and does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Further, the Company’s 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 its non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, which should be considered when evaluating performance. Investors and others are encouraged to review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
The Company defines non-GAAP adjusted net income/(loss) as net income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses. For more information on the non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this press release.
