Totaloperating expenses were RMB8,618.3 million (US$1,180.9 million), representing an increase of 25.8% from RMB6,852.3 million in the same quarter of 2023. The increase primarily resulted from the Company’s business expansion. Meanwhile, operating expenses as a percentage of total net revenues was 89.6%, markedly lower than 97.0% in the same quarter of 2023. The improvement was mainly due to the decrease of cost of materials as a percentage of total net revenues as a result of the Company’s supply chain strength and product mix changes.

Cost of materials were RMB3,847.2 million (US$527.2 million), representing an increase of 9.6% from RMB3,509.5 million in the same quarter of 2023. The increase was mainly due to increases in (i) the number of products sold and (ii) sales of materials to partnership stores, partially offset by the decrease in costs related to sales of equipment to partnership stores as a result of a slower pace of net new store openings.
Store rental and other operating costs were RMB2,372.3 million (US$325.1 million), representing<br>an increase of 39.4% from RMB1,702.0 million in the same quarter of 2023. The increase mainly resulted from the increased number of stores<br>and items sold which led to year-over-year increases in (i) labor costs, (ii) store rental costs as well as (iii) utilities and other<br>store operating costs.
Depreciation and amortization expenses were RMB331.8 million (US$45.5 million), representing an increase of 59.3% from RMB208.3 million in the same quarter of 2023. The increase was mainly due to increases in (i) amortization of leasehold improvements for the stores and (ii) depreciation expenses of additional equipment put into use in new stores.
Delivery expenses were RMB838.7 million (US$114.9 million), representing an increase of 79.4% from RMB467.4 million in the same quarter of 2023. The increase was mainly due to the increase in the number of delivery orders.
Sales and marketing expenses were RMB572.9 million (US$78.5 million), representing an increase of 43.5% from RMB399.1 million in the same quarter of 2023. The increase was mainly driven by increases in (i) advertising and other promotion expenses as the Company continued to make strategic investments in its branding through various channels, and (ii) commissions to third-party food delivery platforms. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total net revenues was 6.0%, compared to 5.6% in the same quarter of 2023.
General and administrative expenses were RMB637.6 million (US$87.4 million), representing an increase of 13.4% from RMB562.0 million in the same quarter of 2023. The increase was mainly driven by increases in (i) research and development expenses, (ii) share-based compensation for restricted share units and options issued to management and employees, and (iii) professional fees, which was partially offset by decreases in payroll costs for general and administrative staff as well as in allowance provided for current expected credit loss. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total net revenues was 6.6%, compared to 8.0% in the same quarter of 2023.
Store preopening and other expenses were RMB13.6 million (US$1.9 million), representing a decrease of 70.1% from RMB45.5 million in the same quarter of 2023. The decrease was mainly due to fewer stores preparing to be opened compared to the same quarter of 2023. Store preopening and other expenses as a percentage of total net revenues was 0.1%, compared to 0.6% in the same quarter of 2023.
Losses and expenses related to Fabricated Transactions and Restructuring were RMB4.2 million (US$0.6 million), compared to negative RMB41.5 million in the same period of 2023, as in the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company reversed approximately USD6.3 million (RMB44.7 million) previously accrued expenses following the settlement with certain underwriters relating to indemnification of defense costs, including but not limited to attorney’s fees and expenses incurred in connection with government inquiries and litigation relating to the Fabricated Transactions.
Store****-level operating profit margin – self-operated stores was 19.6%, expanding by 610 basis points from 13.5% in the same quarter of 2023.

GAAPoperating income was RMB995.0 million (US$136.3 million), representing an increase of 367.8% from RMB212.7 million in the same quarter of 2023. GAAP operating margin increased by 740 basis points to 10.4% from 3.0% in the same quarter of 2023.

Incometax expenses were RMB144.5 million (US$19.8 million), compared to an income tax benefit of RMB31.3 million in the same quarter of 2023. The tax benefit in the same period of last year was mainly due to release of valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in certain operation entities. In accordance with relevant accounting standards, the Company continuously re-evaluates the realization of deferred tax assets by quarter given the largely reduced uncertainty of the Company’s business performance after a certain number of the Company’s operation entities have turned cumulative losses into cumulative profits.

Net****income was RMB841.1 million (US$115.3 million), representing an increase of 183.8% from RMB296.4 million in the same quarter of 2023. Net margin expanded by 450 basis points to 8.7% from 4.2% in the same quarter of 2023.

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, non-recurring item of provision for equity litigants, 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, non-recurring item of provision for equity litigants, 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.
