Second Quarter and First Half 2022 Financial Results:

Net Revenues

Net revenues reached RMB36.5 million (US$5.5 million) in the first half year of 2022, including RMB22.0 million (US$3.3 million) in the second quarter, representing an increase of 591% and 564% year over year respectively. The rapid increase was mainly the result of increases in platform order volumes and continued improvements in operations.

Net revenues from online EV charging solutions contributed RMB19.7 million (US$2.9 million) in the first half of the year and RMB11.8 million (US$1.8 million) in the second quarter of 2022, with growth rates of 451% and 410% year over year respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to an overall increase of charging volume completed through NaaS’ network.

Offline EV charging net revenues increased significantly by 997% year over year to RMB16.3 million (US$2.4 million) in the first half year of 2022, including RMB9.8 million (US$1.5 million) generated in the second quarter, which grew by 952% from the same period of 2021. The increase was primarily driven by the growth in the full station operation business as well as the hardware procurement business.

Net revenue from innovative and other businesses increased by 112% year over year to RMB0.5 million (US$68 thousand) in the first half year of 2022, primarily due to the growth of the online advertisement business. The revenue generated in the second quarter was RMB0.4 million (US$56 thousand), representing an increase of 542% year over year.

Operating costs

Total operating costs were RMB280.9 million (US$340.5 million) in the first half of the year and RMB2171.5 million (US$324.2 million) in the second quarter of 2022, as compared with RMB122.3 million and RMB85.9 million for the same periods of 2021. The significant increase was mainly due to the Company recording RMB1,912.7 million (US$285.6 million) of equity-settled listing costs and RMB186.3 million (US$27.9 million) of share-based compensation expenses in the first half of 2022.

Cost of revenues in the first half year of 2022 was RMB39.1 million (US$5.8 million), increasing by 529% year over year. Cost of revenues for the second quarter of 2022 was RMB23.3 million (US$3.5 million), increasing by 607% year over year. The increases were primarily due to the increase in technical and information service fee, as the Company has involved a third party to provide data service since April, 2022.

Selling and marketing expenses in the first half of 2022 were RMB102.4 million (US$15.3 million), remaining relatively stable as compared with the first half of 2021. Selling and marketing expenses were RMB58.2 million (US$8.7 million) in the second quarter of 2022, representing a decrease of 15% year over year. The decrease was the result of decreased marketing and promotion fees, partly offset by an increase in labor costs.

Administrative expenses increased to RMB2,124.2 million (US$317.1 million) in the first half of 2022, as compared to RMB11.2 million for the same period of 2021. RMB2,082.9 million (US$311.1 million) was recorded in the second quarter of 2022, as compared with RMB6.5 million for the same period of 2021. The significant increase was mainly due to the Company recording RMB1,912.7 million of equity-settled listing costs which occurred during the Merger Transactions (defined below), and a total of RMB186.3 million (of which RMB140.2 million occurred in the second quarter) of share-based compensation expenses.

Research and development expenses were RMB15.1 million (US$2.3 million) in the first half of 2022, remaining relatively stable compared with the same period of 2021. Research and development expenses were RMB7.1 million (US$1.1 million) in the second quarter of 2022, representing a 9% decrease year over year, which was mainly attributable to a reduction in in-house research and development personnel costs.

Finance costs

Finance costs were RMB0.3 million (US$40 thousand) in the first half of 2022, and a RMB35.8 thousand (US$5.3 thousand) of finance costs occurred in the second quarter, compared with finance costs of RMB0.3 million and RMB0.2 million for the same periods of 2021, respectively. The decrease of finance costs was primarily attributable to the reduction spending in financing activities.

Income tax expenses

Income tax expenses were RMB2.7 million (US$0.4 million) in the first half of 2022, compared with income tax expenses of RMB3.3 million in the first half of 2021.

Net loss and non-IFRS net loss

Net loss for the first half of 2022 was RMB5,401.5 million (US$806.4 million), and for the second quarter was RMB5,302.2 million (US$791.6 million), as compared with net loss of RMB120.6 million and RMB85.4 million for the same periods of 2021. The significant increase was mainly due to the recorded equity-settled listing costs, share-based compensation expenses and fair value changes of convertible and redeemable preferred shares in 2022. Non-IFRS net loss was RMB145.8 million (US$21.8 million) for the first half year of 2022 and RMB96.0 million (US$14.3 million) for the second quarter of 2022, representing a year to year increase of 21% and 12%, respectively, from the same periods of 2021. Please refer to the section titled "Unaudited reconciliations of IFRS and non-IFRS results" for details.

Exchange Rate

This announcement contains translations of certain RMB amounts into U.S. dollars ("USD") at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise stated, all translations from RMB to USD were made at the rate of RMB6.6981 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate in effect on June 30, 2022, in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board. The Company makes no representation that the RMB or USD amounts referred to could be converted into USD or RMB, as the case may be, at any particular rate or at all. For analytical presentation, all percentages are calculated using the numbers presented in the financial statements contained in this earnings release.

Non-IFRS Financial Measure

The Company uses non-IFRS net profit/loss for the period, which is a non-IFRS financial measure, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. NaaS believes that non-IFRS net profit/loss helps identify underlying trends in the Company's business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that the Company includes in its profit for the period. NaaS believes that non-IFRS net profit/loss for the period provides useful information about its results of operations, enhances the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Non-IFRS net profit/loss for the period should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to operating profit, net profit for the period or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of its operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review non-IFRS net profit/loss for the period and the reconciliation to its most directly comparable IFRS measure. Non-IFRS net profit/loss for the period presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company's data. NaaS encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Non-IFRS net profit/loss for the period represents profit/loss for the period excluding equity-settled listing costs, share-based compensation expenses, fair value changes of convertible and redeemable preferred shares, and fair value changes of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

On June 10, 2022, RISE Education Cayman Ltd, the Company’s predecessor, completed the merger and other related transactions (the “Merger Transactions”) with Dada Auto Inc. (“Dada”), as a result of which Dada became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company assumed and began conducting the principal business of Dada.
