COMPANY STATEMENT
“We are pleased to deliver another quarter of improved results, with continued improvements across our key operating and financial metrics,” said Dr. Jinyi Guo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Luckin Coffee. “Despite a normalization of same-store sales growth in line with our expectations, comparable store growth remained strong in the third quarter. We continued to leverage our operating efficiency and increasing scale to further improve our profitability profile, reporting a 15% operating profit margin in the third quarter.”
Dr. Guo continued, “During the last two years, we have rebuilt our teams across the organization, bringing in some of the industry’s top talent. From research and development to legal, our teams are positively impacting our performance and being recognized for outstanding work with numerous industry awards such as the “Top 50 Emerging Chinese Consumption Brands with Strong Growth of the Year (2022)” by CBNData, and the “Top Chinese Brand 2022” from YiMagazine. I am exceptionally proud of the dedication from everyone at Luckin Coffee, as we continue to solidify our position as a world-class coffee brand. Furthermore, the release of our 2020-2022 corporate governance report showcased our determination to create both customer value and social value and laid a solid foundation for the long-term sustainable development of Luckin Coffee.”
Dr. Guo concluded, “With our research and development capabilities and our operational efficiency, we are confident in our ability to continue capturing growth opportunities in the fast-growing China coffee market while driving long-term value and sustainable growth for our shareholders.”
IMPACT OF COVID-19
The global economy, the Chinese markets and the Company’s business have been and continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
With the gradual lifting of COVID-19 pandemic related restrictions since the second quarter of 2022, the Company experienced a downward trend in its temporary store closures for most of the third quarter of 2022. The Company had around 108 daily store closures on average in July and August 2022. However, as the winter season approached with bouts of COVID-19 cases in recent months, the Company experienced around 330 daily store closures on average in September and October 2022. As of the date of this earnings release, the number of daily store closures on average in November 2022 was around 500, and we believe this number may further increase for the months ahead.
The COVID-19 situation remains highly unpredictable. The Company anticipates that its operations will continue to be negatively affected by pandemic-related market pressures for the foreseeable future. The extent of these impacts is difficult to predict given the uncertainties relating to the spread of the pandemic and its impacts on the local and national economies.

THIRD QUARTER 2022 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Total net revenues were RMB3,894.6 million (US$547.5 million) in the third quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 65.7% from RMB2,350.2 million in the same quarter of 2021. Net revenues growth was primarily driven by the increase in the number of products sold, the increase in stores in operation and the increase in the number of monthly transacting customers.
| ● | Revenues from product sales were RMB2,995.5 million (US$421.1 million) in the third quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 54.9% from RMB1,934.1 million in the same quarter of 2021. |

| ● | Net revenues from other products were RMB198.3 million (US$27.9 million), representing 5.1% of total net revenues in the third quarter of 2022, compared to RMB107.5 million, or 4.6% of total net revenues, in the same quarter of 2021. |
| ● | Net revenues from others were RMB130.9 million (US$18.4 million), representing 3.4% of total net revenues in the third quarter of 2022, compared to RMB110.2 million, or 4.7% of total net revenues, in the same quarter of 2021. |
| ● | Revenues from partnership stores were RMB899.1 million (US$126.4 million) in the third quarter of 2022, representing 23.1% of total net revenues, which is an increase of 116.1% compared to RMB416.1 million, or 17.7% of total net revenues, in the same quarter of 2021. For the third quarter of 2022, revenues from partnership stores included sales of materials of RMB575.6 million (US$80.9 million), profit sharing of RMB144.8 million (US$20.4 million), sales of equipment of RMB66.3 million (US$9.3 million), delivery service of RMB106.4 million (US$15.0 million) and other services of RMB6.0 million (US$0.8 million). |
Total operating expenses were RMB3,309.4 million (US$465.2 million) in the third quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 40.4% from RMB2,356.9 million in the same quarter of 2021. The increase in total operating expenses was predominantly the result of the Company’s business expansion. Meanwhile, operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 85.0% in the third quarter of 2022 from 100.3% in the same quarter of 2021, due to increased economies of scale and the Company’s technology-driven operations.
| ● | Cost of materials were RMB1,440.5 million (US$202.5 million) in the third quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 56.6% from RMB919.9 million in the same quarter of 2021, generally in line with the increase in the number of products sold and the increase in sales of materials to partnership stores. |
| ● | Store rental and other operating costs were RMB770.4 million (US$108.3 million) in the third quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 49.4% from RMB515.5 million in the same quarter of 2021, mainly due to the increase in labor costs and store rental, as well as utilities and other store operating costs, as a result of the increased number of stores and items sold in the third quarter of 2022. Store rental and other operating costs increased proportionately less than revenues as a result of economies of scale. |
3
| ● | Depreciation and amortization expenses were RMB104.2 million (US$14.6 million) in the third quarter of 2022, representing a decrease of 23.4% from RMB136.0 million in the same quarter of 2021, mainly due to the decrease in amortization of leasehold improvements for the stores whose leasehold improvements had been fully amortized before the third quarter of 2022, which was offset by the increase of depreciation expenses of additional equipment put into use in new stores in the third quarter of 2022. |
| ● | Delivery expenses were RMB432.8 million (US$60.8 million) in the third quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 62.1% from RMB266.9 million in the same quarter of 2021, mainly due to the increase in the number of delivery orders. |
| ● | Sales and marketing expenses were RMB159.3 million (US$22.4 million) in the third quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 64.3% from RMB96.9 million in the same quarter of 2021, mainly driven by (i) an increase in advertising expenses as the Company continued to make strategic investments in its branding through various channels, (ii) an increase in subcontract service fee, which was mainly for the Company’s e-commerce business and (iii) an increase in commission fees paid to third-party delivery platforms in line with the increase in the number of delivery orders. Sales and marketing expenses amounted to 4.1% of net revenues in the third quarter of 2022, which was the same as the third quarter of 2021. |
| ● | General and administrative expenses were RMB383.5 million (US$53.9 million) in the third quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 19.4% from RMB321.2 million in the same quarter of 2021. The increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly driven by (i) the increase in payroll costs for headquarter staff and (ii) the increase in share-based compensation from more Restricted Share Units issued to incentivize management and employees. General and administrative expenses amounted to 9.9% of net revenues in the third quarter of 2022, compared to 13.7% of net revenues in the same quarter of 2021. The decrease was mainly due to the economies of scale. |
| ● | Store preopening and other expenses were RMB9.5 million (US$1.3 million) in the third quarter of 2022, compared to RMB6.0 million in the same quarter of 2021, mainly due to more stores being opened in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter of 2021. Store preopening and other expenses amounted to 0.2% of net revenues in the third quarter of 2022, compared to 0.3% of net revenues in the same quarter of 2021. |
| ● | Impairment loss of long-lived assets were nil in the third quarter of 2022, compared to RMB19.0 million in the same quarter of 2021. |

The losses and expenses related to Fabricated Transactions and Restructuring consisted primarily of professional and legal fees for U.S. securities litigations and other advisory service fees. Losses and expenses related to Fabricated Transactions and Restructuring amounted to 0.2% of net revenues in the third quarter of 2022, compared to 3.2% of net revenues in the same quarter of 2021. |
| ● | Store level operating profit margin – self-operated stores was 29.2% in the third quarter of 2022, compared to 25.2% in the same quarter of 2021, primarily due to the benefits of economies of scale from the increased number of products sold. |

GAAP operating income was RMB585.3 million (US$82.3 million) in the third quarter of 2022, representing a GAAP operating income margin of 15.0%, compared to an operating loss of RMB6.7 million in the same quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP operating income was RMB693.8 million (US$97.5 million) in the third quarter of 2022, representing a non-GAAP operating income margin of 17.8%, compared to RMB71.4 million, or a non-GAAP operating income margin of 3.0%, in the same quarter of 2021. For more information on the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures, please see the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” on page 7 and the table captioned “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to the Most Directly Comparable GAAP Measures” set forth at the end of this earnings release.
Net income was RMB528.6 million (US$74.3 million) in the third quarter of 2022, which included the one-off non-cash gain of RMB124.1 million (US$17.5 million) from the extinguishment of Series B Senior Secured Notes, compared to a net loss of RMB23.5 million in the same quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP net income was RMB514.9 million (US$72.4 million) in the third quarter of 2022, representing a non-GAAP net income margin of 13.2%, compared to RMB54.6 million, or a non-GAAP net income margin of 2.3%, in the same quarter of 2021.
Basic and diluted net income per ADS was RMB1.68 (US$0.24) and RMB1.68 (US$0.24) in the third quarter of 2022, respectively, compared to basic and diluted net loss per ADS of RMB0.08 and RMB0.08 in the same quarter of 2021, respectively.
Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS was RMB1.68 (US$0.24) and RMB1.60 (US$0.24) in the third quarter of 2022, respectively, compared to RMB0.24 and RMB0.24 in the same quarter of 2021, respectively.

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were RMB3,993.2 million (US$561.4 million) as of September 30, 2022, compared to RMB6,555.3 million as of December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to the full redemption of the Company’s offshore notes following the restructuring of those notes on January 28, 2022, the settlement of payable to fulfill the Company’s obligations under the federal class action settlement and purchase of property and equipment, which was offset by operational cash generation and the proceeds from the issuance of senior preferred shares to Joy Capital on January 7, 2022.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses adjusted operating (loss)/income and adjusted 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 (loss)/income excluding share-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP net income/(loss) as net income/(loss) excluding recurring item of share-based compensation expenses and fair value changes of derivative asset bifurcated from Series B Senior Secured Notes and non-recurring item of provision for equity litigants 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 fair value changes of derivative asset bifurcated from Series B Senior Secured Notes and non-recurring item of provision for equity litigants.
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.

EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION
This earnings release contains translations of certain RMB amounts into U.S. dollars (“US$”) at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise noted, all translations from RMB to US$ were made at the rate of RMB7.1135 to US$1.00, the exchange rate on September 30, 2022 set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board. The Company makes no representation that the RMB or US$ amounts referred could be converted into US$ or RMB, as the case may be, at any particular rate or at all.
Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements
The Company has revised its previously announced unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to reclassify the treatment of the foreign exchange impact of a planned capital reduction to transfer funds out of China for the settlement of overseas debt, which had been recorded in the Company’s foreign exchange gain, net. Following the revision, the Company has made adjustments in each successive period, including to its previously announced unaudited financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the audited financial results for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company has determined that it is more appropriate under GAAP to present the foreign exchange impact of capital reduction transactions in other comprehensive income, rather than in foreign exchange gain, net. The revision was non-cash and non-operating in nature and did not have any impact on the Company’s operating (loss)/income, assets or liabilities, or consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company assessed the effects of the revision in the prior periods’ financial statements and determined that it is not material to any of the Company's prior interim and annual financial statements. For details on the impact of the revision, please see the note “Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements” on page 12.

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements
The Company has revised its previously announced unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to reclassify the treatment of the foreign exchange impact of a planned capital reduction to transfer funds out of China for the settlement of overseas debt, which had been recorded in the Company’s foreign exchange gain, net. Following the revision, the Company has made adjustments in each successive period, including to its previously announced unaudited financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the audited financial results for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company has determined that it is more appropriate under ASC830 Foreign Currency Matters to present the foreign exchange impact of the capital reduction transaction in other comprehensive income, rather than in foreign exchange gain, net. The impact of the revision was a RMB107.7 million reduction to the Company’s foreign exchange gain, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively. Correspondingly, the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income as of June 30, 2021, September 30, 2021, December 31, 2021, March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 increased by the same amount, respectively. The revision was non-cash and non-operating in nature and did not have any impact on the Company’s operating (loss)/income, assets or liabilities, or consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company assessed the effects of the revision in the prior periods’ financial statements and determined that it was not material to any of the Company's prior interim and annual financial statements.
The following tables present the impact of the revision to prior period financials:

* Differences in the definition of Non-GAAP indicators between this earnings announcement and 2021 Non-GAAP indicators are contributable to the items that occurred beyond the reporting periods of this earnings announcement, including the reversal for SEC settlement. Starting from the third quarter of 2021, impairment loss of long-lived assets was due to normal operation, rather than unexpected events such as store closures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and therefore, removed from Non-GAAP adjustment items.
** The per ADS indicators are based on rounded results of corresponding per ordinary share indicators, which could have a rounding difference of absolute amount for not more than 0.04 per ADS.
