Mr. Kerry Xuefeng Chen, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of ATRenew, commented, "We are pleased to report that our total net revenues for the first quarter of 2025 once again exceeded the high end of our guidance, reaching RMB4,653.5 million and representing a 27.5% year-over-year growth. The strong performance was driven in part by the national smartphone subsidy program, which has accelerated consumer adoption of trade-in programs, facilitating device upgrades while maximizing the lifecycle value of pre-owned electronics. To further strengthen our ecosystem, we launched our first offline Paijitang flagship store in Shenzhen, serving as a B2B front-end distribution center for business owners. This initiative reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality products and promoting compliant, sustainable growth within the pre-owned electronics market."

Mr. Rex Chen, Chief Financial Officer of ATRenew, added, "In tandem with the implementation of the national subsidy program, we strategically deepened partnerships with key players to accelerate trade-in adoption and enhance brand visibility for AHS Recycle while maintaining disciplined operating expenses. We also employed adaptive pricing strategies to improve our margins compared to the same period of 2024, contributing to strong growth in non-GAAP income from operations for the quarter. Aligned with our long-term strategic roadmap, we remain focused on enhancing user-centric experiences through precision operational management, delivering sustainable value for both users and shareholders."

First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

REVENUE

Total net revenues increased by 27.5% to RMB4,653.5 million (US$641.3 million) from RMB3,651.1 million in the same period of 2024.

Net product revenues increased by 28.8% to RMB4,263.7 million (US$587.6 million) from RMB3,309.8 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 14.2% to RMB389.8 million (US$53.7 million), compared to RMB341.3 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 PJT Marketplace.

OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES

Operating costs and expenses were RMB4,581.0 million (US$631.3 million), compared to RMB3,702.9 million in the same period of 2024, representing an increase of 23.7%.

Merchandise costs were RMB3,615.9 million (US$498.3 million), compared to RMB2,947.8 million in the same period of 2024, representing an increase of 22.7%. The increase was primarily due to the growth in product sales.
Fulfillment expenses were RMB427.8 million (US$59.0million), compared to RMB309.8 million in the same period of 2024, representing an increase of 38.1%. 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 first quarter of 2025.
Selling and marketing expenses were RMB418.9 million (US$57.7 million), compared to RMB321.3 million in the same period of 2024, representing an increase of 30.4%. 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 share-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions resulting from the maturity of some intangible assets in the second quarter of 2024.
General and administrative expenses were RMB63.4 million (US$8.7 million), compared to RMB73.8 million in the same period of 2024, representing a decrease of 14.1%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in share-based compensation.
Technology and content expenses were RMB55.0 million (US$7.6 million), compared to RMB50.2 million in the same period of 2024, representing an increase of 9.6%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel costs.

Adjusted income from operations (non-GAAP) was RMB111.9 million (US$15.4 million), representing an increase of 39.5% from RMB80.2 million in the same period of 2024.

This forecast only reflects the Company's current and preliminary views on the market and operational conditions, which are subject to change.

Recent Development

During the first quarter of 2025, ATRenew repurchased a total of approximately 0.4 million ADSs for approximately US$1.2 million under its current share repurchase program which authorizes the Company to repurchase up to US$50 million worth of its shares (including ADSs) through June 27, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had repurchased a total of approximately 10.7 million ADSs for approximately US$27.1 million under this share repurchase program.

On March 31, 2025, ATRenew announced the grand opening of its first Paijitang flagship store in Huaqiangbei, Shenzhen — China's premier electronics trade hub. As a front-end distribution center, the store features Paijitang's seamless online-to-offline integration, driving industry standardization and expansion. It allows buyers to browse inventory that have been professionally inspected and graded and then purchase onsite. This helps businesses reduce inventory costs and minimize logistics delays.

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 RMB7.2567 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 March 31, 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 (loss) income from operations excluding the share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions. Adjusted net income is net (loss) income 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 (loss) income 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 (loss) income from operations and net (loss) income. 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."
