Third Quarter 2025 Highlights

  • Total net revenues grew by 27.1% to RMB5,149.2 million (US$723.3 million) from RMB4,051.2 million in the same period of 2024.
  • Income from operations was RMB120.8 million (US$17.0 million), representing an increase of 385.1% year -on-year from RMB24.9 million in the same period of 2024. Adjusted income from operations (non-GAAP)1 was RMB140.3 million (US$19.7 million), representing an increase of 34.9% year-on-year from RMB104.0 million in the same period of 2024.
  • Number of consumer products transacted2 was 10.9 million compared to 9.1 million in the same period of 2024.

Mr. Kerry Xuefeng Chen, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of ATRenew, commented, “In the third quarter of 2025, ATRenew once again delivered impressive results. Total revenue for the quarter reached a record high of RMB5,149 million, up 27.1% year-on-year. With a strategic focus on ‘scenario + supply chain’ capabilities, we have secured high-quality supplies, accelerated the expansion of our fulfillment capabilities, and achieved a higher proportion of compliant refurbishment and retail operations that deliver greater value to the industry. With enhanced transaction efficiency and user experience across our marketplaces, we capitalized on the rapid and healthy development of the pre-owned consumer electronics industry, thereby solidifying the foundation of the company's core business. At the same time, leveraging AHS Recycle’s brand power as China's leading brand for recycle-and-reuse, we are innovatively exploring multi-category recycling services under the platform model, with a focus on the long-term opportunities presented by the future circular economy.”

Mr. Rex Chen, Chief Financial Officer of ATRenew, added, “We are pleased to report that ATRenew achieved improved profitability in the third quarter of 2025, with adjusted income from operations increasing by 34.9% year-over-year to RMB140 million. Through effective business execution and refined operational management, we achieved year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter improvements across multiple profitability metrics. As user acceptance of recycling and trade-in services continues to grow, we expect to leverage economies of scale in our fulfillment capabilities to gradually enhance our overall profitability. In alignment with the Company’s financial performance and our ongoing commitment to creating value, we are also implementing a three-year shareholder return plan as we previously announced.”

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

REVENUE

Total net revenues increased by 27.1% to RMB5,149.2 million (US$723.3 million) from RMB4,051.2 million in the same period of 2024.

  • Net product revenues increased by 28.7% to RMB4,726.3 million (US$663.9 million) from RMB3,672.2 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the sales of pre-owned consumer electronics through the Company’s online channels.
  • Net service revenues increased by 11.6% to RMB422.8 million (US$59.4 million), compared to RMB379.0 million in the same period of 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the service revenue generated from multi-category recycling business and Paipai Marketplace.

OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES

Operating costs and expenses were RMB5,033.2 million (US$707.0 million), compared to RMB4,028.1 million in the same period of 2024, representing an increase of 25.0%.

  • Merchandise costs were RMB4,094.2 million (US$575.1 million), compared to RMB3,242.8 million in the same period of 2024, representing an increase of 26.3%. The increase was primarily due to the growth in product sales.
  • Fulfillment expenses were RMB437.1 million (US$61.4 million), compared to RMB347.3 million in the same period of 2024, representing an increase of 25.9%. The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase in personnel costs and logistics expenses as the Company conducted more recycling and transaction activities compared with the same period of 2024, and (ii) an increase in operation related expenses as the Company expanded its store networks and operation center capacity in the third quarter of 2025.
  • Selling and marketing expenses were RMB363.9 million (US$51.1 million), compared to RMB315.3 million in the same period of 2024, representing an increase of 15.4%. The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase in advertising expenses and promotional campaign related expenses, and (ii) an increase in commission expenses in relation to channel service fees. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions resulting from the maturity of major remaining intangible assets in the second quarter of 2025.
  • General and administrative expenses were RMB74.1 million (US$10.4 million), compared to RMB69.3 million in the same period of 2024, representing an increase of 6.9%. The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase in tax and surcharges, and (ii) an increase in consultant fees. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in share-based compensation.
  • Technology and content expenses were RMB63.8 million (US$9.0 million), compared to RMB53.4 million in the same period of 2024, representing an increase of 19.5%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel costs.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

Income from operations was RMB120.8 million (US$17.0 million), an increase of 385.1% from RMB24.9 million in the same period of 2024.

Adjusted income from operations (non-GAAP) was RMB140.3 million (US$19.7 million), an increase of 34.9% from

Basic and diluted net income per ordinary share were RMB0.56 (US$0.08) and RMB0.56 (US$0.08), compared to RMB0.11 and RMB0.11 in the same period of 2024.

Adjusted basic and diluted net income per ordinary share (non-GAAP) were RMB0.68 (US$0.10) and RMB0.68 (US$0.10), compared to RMB0.56 and RMB0.55 in the same period of 2024.

Exchange Rate Information

This announcement contains translations of certain RMB amounts into U.S. dollars at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise noted, all translations from RMB to U.S. dollars are made at a rate of RMB7.1190 to US$1.00, the exchange rate set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as of September 30, 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company also uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating its business. For example, the Company uses adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per ordinary share as supplemental measures to review and assess its financial and 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. Adjusted income from operations is income (loss) from operations excluding the share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions. Adjusted net income is net income (loss) excluding the share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions and tax effects of amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions. Adjusted net income per ordinary share is adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by weighted average number of shares used in calculating net income (loss) per ordinary share.

The Company presents non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by the Company’s management to evaluate the Company’s financial and operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company believes that adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income help identify underlying trends in the Company’s business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that are included in income (loss) from operations and net income (loss). The Company also believes that the use of non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors’ assessment of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income provide useful information about the Company’s operating results, enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision making.

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. One of the key limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations. The share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions and tax effects of amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions have been and may continue to be incurred in the Company’s business and is not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures. Further, the non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP measures used by other companies, including peer companies, potentially limiting the comparability of their financial results to the Company’s. In light of the foregoing limitations, the non-GAAP financial measures for the period should not be considered in isolation from or as an alternative to income from operations, net income, and net income attributable to ordinary shareholders per share, or other financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measures, which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance. For reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the section of the accompanying tables titled, “Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results.”
