Dada Announces Unaudited Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

SHANGHAI, China, Nov. 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dada Nexus Limited (NASDAQ: DADA, “Dada” or the “Company”), China’s leading local on-demand delivery and retail platform, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Third Quarter 2022 Highlights

  • Total net revenues in the third quarter were RMB2,380.1 million, an increase of 41.1% year over year from RMB1,686.8 million in the same period of 2021.
  • Total Gross Merchandise Volume (“GMV”) of JDDJ for the twelve months ended September 30, 2022 was RMB58.9 billion, an increase of 58.3% year over year from RMB37.2 billion in the same period of 2021.
  • Number of active consumers for the twelve months ended September 30, 2022 was 75.4 million, as compared with 57.1 million in the same period of 2021.

“We are delighted to open a new chapter of Dada with yet another strong quarter despite macro uncertainties, thanks to the trust from our employees, customers, riders, and strategic partners,” said Mr. Jeff He, President of Dada. “We continued to support the recovery of domestic consumption with industry-leading technology and infrastructure, while making further progress in the digital transformation of brick-and-mortar retail. Leveraging the unique strengths of our dual-engine business model and further collaboration with JD.com, we remain confident in capturing the tremendous opportunity of on-demand retail in the long run.”

“Our results speak of the resilience of our business,” said Mr. Beck Chen, Chief Financial Officer of Dada. “We maintained rapid revenue growth of 41% year over year in the third quarter. Meanwhile, we continued to make remarkable progress toward profitability, with non-GAAP operating margin1 improving by over 15 percentage points year over year. Looking ahead, we will remain committed to pursuing high-quality growth and delivering value for all stakeholders.”

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Total net revenues were RMB2,380.1 million, an increase of 41.1% year over year from RMB1,686.8 million in the same period of 2021.

Services note (1) 1,072,490 1,544,257
Total 1,686,779 2,380,146
     

Note:
(1) Includes net revenues from (i) commission fee, and online advertising and marketing services of RMB629,719 and RMB1,012,998 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively; and (ii) fulfillment services and others of RMB442,771 and RMB531,259 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively.

  • Net revenues generated from Dada Now increased by 36.1% from RMB614.3 million in the third quarter of 2021 to RMB835.9 million in the third quarter of 2022, mainly driven by the increase in order volume of intra-city delivery service to chain merchants.
  • Net revenues generated from JDDJ increased by 44.0% from RMB1,072.5 million in the third quarter of 2021 to RMB1,544.3 million in the third quarter of 2022, mainly due to the increase in GMV from the same quarter last year, which was driven by increases in the number of active consumers and average order size. The increase in online marketing services revenue as a result of the increasing promotional activities launched by brand owners and retailers also contributed to the increment of the net revenues generated from JDDJ.

Total costs and expenses were RMB2,919.6 million, compared with RMB2,282.3 million in the same quarter of 2021.

  • Operations and support costs were RMB1,466.8 million, compared with RMB1,235.7 million in the same quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in rider cost as a result of increasing order volume for intra-city delivery services provided to various chain merchants on the Dada Now platform and retailers on the JDDJ platform.
  • Selling and marketing expenses were RMB1,149.7 million, compared with RMB780.3 million in the same quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to (i) growing incentives to JDDJ consumers, (ii) an increase in advertising and marketing expenses to attract new consumers to JDDJ platform, and (iii) amortization of the business cooperation agreement in connection with the share subscription transaction with JD.com in February 2022.
  • General and administrative expenses were RMB107.0 million, compared with RMB98.5 million in the same quarter of 2021. The increase was mainly attributable to increases in professional service fees.
  • Research and development expenses were RMB180.5 million, compared with RMB148.0 million in the same quarter of 2021. The increase was mainly attributable to the increase in research and development personnel cost as the Company continues to strengthen its technological capabilities.

Loss from operations was RMB485.5 million, compared with RMB565.8 million in the same quarter of 2021.

Non-GAAP loss from operations1 was RMB300.1 million, compared with RMB472.1 million in the same quarter of 2021.

Net loss was RMB454.3 million, compared with RMB542.7 million in the same period of 2021.

Non-GAAP net loss2 was RMB270.2 million, compared with RMB450.1 million in the same period of 2021.

Net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada was RMB454.3 million, compared with RMB542.7 million in the same quarter of 2021.

Non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada3 was RMB270.2 million, compared with RMB450.1 million in the same quarter of 2021.

Basic and diluted net loss per share was RMB0.44, compared with RMB0.57 for the third quarter of 2021.

Non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per share4 was RMB0.26, compared with RMB0.48 for the third quarter of 2021.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had RMB5,208.9 million in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments, an increase from RMB1,764.8 million as of December 31, 2021.

Pursuant to our US$70 million share repurchase program announced in March 2022, as of September 30, 2022, the Company had repurchased approximately US$56.6 million of ADSs under this repurchase program.

Environment, Social Responsibility and Corporate Governance

The Company continued to execute its ESG strategy in a committed and proactive way:

  • During the third quarter, a number of cities including Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Dalian, Shijiazhuang, Chengdu and Guiyang experienced COVID-19 resurgence. JDDJ and Dada Now worked to coordinate merchants’ offerings and delivery capacity to ensure the supply of daily necessities to the affected communities. Dada received appreciation letters from relevant governmental authorities in Shanghai, Chengdu, Shijiazhuang, etc., all of which recognized the Company's contributions to maintaining the supply of essential goods during COVID-19 resurgence.
  • In September, JDDJ released the “Double Zero” policy for the Double 11 shopping festival, which allows new stores that list on Shop Now to enjoy zero deposit and zero platform usage fees, aiming to help retailers expand business by leveraging Shop Now.
  • In August, Dada teamed up with Walmart China and the China Foundation for Rural Development to launch the “Nutritious Meals for Children” fundraising program, encouraging donations through online and offline channels to provide nutritious meals to children in Guizhou, Guangxi and other less developed areas.
  • Under the guidance of the "Care for the Next Generation Working Committee" of Yangpu District, Shanghai, Dada established its own "Care for the Next Generation Working Committee" and actively engaged in activities to support healthy growth of the youth.
  • In November, Dada was included in the “2022 List of Excellent Private Enterprises in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)” released by the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, which demonstrated government authorities’ recognition of Dada’s CSR efforts and contribution.

Business Outlook

For the fourth quarter of 2022, Dada expects total revenue to be between RMB2,650 million and RMB2,750 million, representing year-over-year growth of 30% to 35%. This outlook is based on information available as of the date of this press release and reflects the Company's current and preliminary expectations, which are subject to change in light of various uncertainties, including those related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company also uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating its business. For example, the Company uses non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income/(loss), non-GAAP net margin, non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada and non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada per 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. Non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations is income/(loss) from operations excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition. Non-GAAP operating margin is non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations as a percentage of total net revenues. Non-GAAP net income/(loss) is net income/(loss) excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition and tax benefit from amortization of such intangible assets. Non-GAAP net margin is non-GAAP net income/(loss) as a percentage of total net revenues. Non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada is net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition and tax benefit from amortization of such intangible assets. Non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada per share is non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada divided by weighted average number of shares used in calculating net income/(loss) per share.

The Company presents the 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. Non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations and non-GAAP net income/(loss) enable the Company’s management to assess the Company’s financial and operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition and tax benefit from amortization of such intangible assets. The Company also believes that the use of the non-GAAP measures facilitates investors’ assessment of the Company’s financial and operating performance.

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 income/(loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income/(loss), non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada, and non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada per share is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations. Share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition and tax benefit from amortization of such intangible assets have been and may continue to be incurred in the Company’s business and is not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income/(loss), non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada, and non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada per share. 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 income/(loss) from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income/(loss), non-GAAP net margin, non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada and non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada per share for the period should not be considered in isolation from or as an alternative to income/(loss) from operations, operating margin, net income/(loss), net margin, net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada and net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Dada 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.”
