approached $500 million. Total net revenues for the quarter reached around R&D $13.9 billion, up 29% year-over-year. Same short sales for our self-operated stores declined 5.3% year-over-year in the second quarter, primarily due to the temporary high comparison base created by elevated food delivery subsidies in the prior year period. This performance was fully consistent with our previous expectations for the trajectory of business operations. Meanwhile, as food delivery competition gradually returned to more rational levels, our operating incomes resumed year-over growth in the quarter, growing 22% to R&B 2.1 billion, with an operating margin of 13.4%. This further reinforced the recovery in our profitability. Our second quarter results once again validate the strength of our high-quality scale growth strategy and further strengthen our confidence in capturing long-term market opportunities. 稍后CFO安静会和大家分享更详细的财务数据 Next, I will walk you through the quarterly progress across our three core business pillars People, products and places, focusing on store coverage, product innovation and customer experience Following that, our CFO安静 will share more detailed financial updates

Now, I will turn the call over to Anjing to go through our financial results in detail.
Thank you, Jingyi. Good day, everyone. Thank you for joining today's call. In the second quarter, we delivered solid top-line growth and the continued profitability recovery, reflecting our operational resilience and the strong execution of our growth strategy. Let me now walk you through the financial details. In the second quarter, total net revenues increased by 29% year-over-year to RMB $15.9 billion, managed by a 30% year-over-year increase in GMV to RMB $18.4 billion. This growth was supported by higher total cut volumes across both self-operated and partnership stores, as we continue to expand our stock network and grow our customer base. Revenues from productive sales increased by 29% year-over-year to R&B $12.2 billion, reflecting the solid performance of our self-operated stores. Breaking down our product itself into three streams. Net revenues from freshly-brewed streams, or R&B, $11.2 billion, representing about 70% of total net revenues. Net revenues from other products, or R&B, $892 million, or about 6% of total net revenues. Net revenues from others were R&B $171 million, or roughly 1% of total net revenues. Looking at our company-owned stores, revenues from self-operated stores increased by 27% year-over-year to R&B $11.6 billion. Same-store sales growth was negative 5.3% for this quarter, mainly reflecting the high Comparation base created by the elevated food delivery subsidies in the five-year period. Store-level operating profit increased by 26% year-over-year to RMB 2.5 bidding, with self-operated store-level operating margin of 21.3%. Revenues from partnership stores increased by 28% year-over-year to R&B of $3.7 billion, accounting for 26% of total net revenues. This growth was largely driven by a continued expansion of our partnership store network. Sales of the material roles remain the largest contributor, Builder, followed by the delivery service fees and the profit sharing and the loyalty fees. Cost of materials as a percentage of the total net revenues were 39%, compared to 37% in the same period of 2025. Many due to fluctuations in average selling price and a certain raw material price. In actual terms, cost of materials increased by 34% year-over-year to R&B's $6.1 billion, largely due to increases in cut volumes in self-operated stores and the material sales to partnership stores. Store level, store rental, and the other operating costs as a percentage of the total net revenues was 27%, compared to 22% in the same period of 2025. In absolute terms, these expenses increased by 36% year-over-year to R&B $3.6 billion, mainly driven by higher payroll costs from cost volume growth and rising rental expenses due to continued store expansion. Deliberate expenses as a percentage of the total net revenues decreased to 10% from 14% in the same period of 2025. This improvement was mainly driven by a lower proportion of delivery orders as well as lower average delivery costs per order as we enhance fulfillment efficiency. In absolute terms, delivery expenses decreased by 3% year-over-year to earn the $1.6 billion. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total net revenues were 6%, compared to 5% in the same period of 2025. In actual terms, sales and marketing expenses increased by 56% year-over-year to R&B 925 million, many due to higher spending on advertising and promotion, as well as higher commission fees paid to the food delivery and live streamed platforms. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of the total net revenue was 6%. Last flat compared to the same quarter of 2025. In actual terms, GNA expenses increased by 34% year-over-year to R&B 985 million. Many driven by higher share-based compensation, and payroll costs, as well as increased investment in research and development. Our GAAP operating profit increased by 22% year-over-year to R&B 2.1 billion, with an operating margin of 13.4% compared to 14.1% in the prior year period. On a non-GAAP basis, operating profit increased by 26% year-over-year to R&B 2.4 billion, with a non-GAAP operating margin of 15.1% compared to 15.3% in the prior year period. Net profit increased by 16% year-over-year to R&B 1.5 billion, with a net margin of 9.4% compared to 10.4% in the prior year period. On a net gap basis, net profit increased by 23% to R&B 1.8 billion with a net gap net margin of 11% compared to 11.6% in the prior year period. Finally, looking at our balance sheet and cash flow, We generate R&B $2.6 billion in net operating cash during the second quarter of 2026. As of June 30, 2026, our total cash position, which includes cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, term deposit, and short-term investments was R&B $10.9 billion. compared to R&B $9 billion at the end of December 31st, 2005. During the quarter, we utilized short-term borrowers as part of our capital allocation strategy to support an ongoing shareholder return initiative. We continued to maintain a strong net cash position of R&B $9 billion and a healthy leverage profile, supported by our robust cash generation capabilities and the discipline of financial management. This provides us with flexibility to continue investing future growth opportunities while returning capital to shareholders. During the second quarter, we repurchased 49 million Class A ordinary shares, or 6 million ADS, for a total consideration of $195 million, and their over $300 million share repurchase programs. In closing, our second quarter marked another step forward in turning our long-term strategy into tangible results. Our expanded store network and growing customer base have precisioned us well for long-term growth. Looking ahead, we will remain focused on discipline and execution, continuous improvement in operational efficiency, and a sustainable value creation for our shareholders. With that, we will open the call for questions. Operator, please feel ahead.
Ladies and gentlemen, we will now begin the question and answer session. To ask a question, please press star, then 1. If you are using a speakerphone, please pick up your handset. To withdraw your question, please press star, then two. The first question today comes from Jesse Hsu with JP Morgan.
Please go ahead. 市场的预期非常显著的在领跑这个市场 那上半年持续超预期的情况下 想跟管理层请教一下我们对下半年如何展望 那从铜电来看在七八月的高基数的情况下 下半年会是一个什么样的趋势 以及随着外卖比例的持续正常化和这个结构 渠道结构的一个优化 我们对下半年利润率的修复和利润的弹性应该怎么看 那我翻译一下 Thanks for taking my question. This is Jesse Xu from JP Morgan. Congrats on a very strong 2Q, very encouraging in a weak macro environment, especially against some challenges for the whole industry year to date. And second quarter turned out to be a beat in both the same store sales and also margins, clearly diverging from and outperforming the whole industry. So my question is mainly on second half outlook, considering a tough phase during July to August, how should we think about the same store sales trend for the second half, and as the delivery mix continues to normalize, how should we think about the margin and earnings outlook from here?
Thank you. is in a more healthy and can continue to develop. The market competition has also come back to the products, manufacturing, and customer value. These are the key areas of the market for the long-term investment.
Thank you for the question. Since the beginning of the year, delivery platform competition has gradually returned to a more visible level. We believe the freshly brewed beverage industry is also moving towards a healthier and more sustainable development stage. And the market competition is increasingly shifting back to product innovation, operational excellence, and consumer value creation. So all the areas we're looking at consistently invest and build our long-term strength around.
From the outside environment, the pace of the supply chain is faster than our expected year-to-year. 去年外卖补贴形成的高技术压力也开始逐步的显现出来,并已经反映到了二季度同店的表现中,对于三季度,由于去年的七八月份处在一个平台外卖补贴较为激烈的阶段,我们预计相关高技术的影响仍将持续,但与此同时,随着外卖占比自去年三季度的高点以来持续回落, 以及配送履约效率的稳步优化 我们也看到盈利修复的趋势也更加清晰
利润表现也正在持续地改善中 Right, so from an external perspective full delivery subsidies have been scaled back more quickly than we initially expect at the beginning of the year So the high-ditch pressure created by last year's elevated subsidies has also become more apparent and it's already reflected in our second quarter sales performance. As for the third quarter, as platform subsidies were particularly intense during July and August of last year, we expect the result from high-base effect to persist. At the same time, we are seeing improving trends in our profitability and margins, supported by the continued decline in deliver mix from peak levels since the third quarter of last year, as well as the improvements in our fulfillment efficiency. And from an internal perspective, we've also continued to optimize various products and operational initiatives this year with very encouraging results. For example, our Cup Size Upgrade Initiative and the product innovation around Little Bunch Americano I just mentioned, these efforts not only enhance customer experience but also supported the overall average selling price and our cup volume.
Thank you.
Xin Yu Ruan with Goldman Sachs. Please go ahead.
Let me translate my question into English. So the company has a very fast store opening pace in the first half, but in the meanwhile we see industrial-wide store self-growth pressure under the delivery of minimalization, and multiple players actually sold down store opening this year. On this backdrop, what supported Lockheed's faster store expansion, and what is the company's plan and strategy on store opening in the second half, and in store opening outlook, and how do we balance store opening and store self-growth. And in the longer term, how do we think about the room for the store expansion in China?
Thank you. 这既是我们能够坚持高质量规模增长战略的重要基础,也是我们能够持续开新店,开好店的最重要的核心驱动因素。 Thank you for the question.
First, I'd like to reiterate that we remain very confident in the long-term growth potential of China's coffee market. So compared with more mature coffee markets globally, coffee consumption in China remains in its early stages of habit formation with significant room for future penetrations and frequency growth. This long-term market opportunity is the foundation for our high quality scale growth strategy. It's also the key driver for our continued expansion, leaving us plenty of headroom to continue opening more stores while maintaining store quality. As coffee consumption increasingly becomes part of China's consumers' daily routines, Locking has built a nationwide store network covering all city tiers and diverse consumption scenarios. So from tier one cities to county level markets and townships and across different consumption scenarios, for example, office buildings, commercial districts, street front locations, residential communities, companies and transportation hubs, we continue to expand consumer accessibility and strengthen Lockheed's brand measure as a nationwide professional coffee brand. 而支撑这一能力的是一套覆盖人货场全链路可复制可拓展的经营体系 从需求洞察门店选址建设运营到后续经营优化 我们通过数字化能力和AI技术持续提升决策效率 依靠成熟的组织能力和强大的执行力 确保新电能够快速高质量的落地 并不断提升运营质量 So for lock-in, store expansion is not simply about adding more stores. It's actually more about leveraging our nationwide store network, strong brand equity, and the product capabilities to better identify and serve the growing customer demand. And supporting this is a highly scalable and replicable operating model covering the full value chain across people, products, and places from demand insights. and site selection to our store construction operations and the ongoing optimization. We leverage our digital capabilities and AI technologies to improve our decision-making efficiency. Our mature organizational capabilities and strong execution actually ensure that we can open stores quickly while maintaining store quality and continuously enhance our store performance. At the same time, our expanding store network further strengthens our brand influence, enhances our ability to scale product innovation and create a virtuous cycle among stores, products, and customers. And so store expansion is not an end in itself, but a crucial foundation for sustainably gaining market share. So to conclude, we believe there is remain substantial We have to look for store growth in China's coffee market. As coffee penetration and consumption frequency continue to increase, the overall market capacity will continue to expand, where provident in our ability to maintain a competitive pace of store expansion, capture the long-term growth opportunities in China's coffee market, and continue to grow Lacking Coffee's market share. Thank you.
Due to time constraints, no further questions will be taken at this time. This concludes the question and answer session. I'd like to turn the call back to the management team for any closing remarks.
Thank you, everyone, for joining our call today. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact our IR team. This concludes today's call. We look forward to speaking with you again next quarter.
