Loss from operations was RMB173.3 million (US$24.4 million), compared to RMB2,623.7 million in the full year of 2022. Adjusted income from operations (non-GAAP)1 was RMB251.7 million (US$35.5 million) compared to RMB6.9 million in the full year of 2022.

Mr. Kerry Xuefeng Chen, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of ATRenew, commented, “We are delighted to report another quarter of record total net revenues, which exceeded the high-end of our fourth-quarter guidance. Our total revenue in 2023 increased by over 30% year-over-year to reach RMB13.0 billion. Our operational efficiency continued to enhance and led to a historical high in adjusted income from operations. This success came as we built premium user experience and trust, diligently developed trade-in solutions with e-commerce retailers and consumer electronics manufacturers, and as our innovative multi-category recycling services and refined pricing mechanisms won over more users. Looking into 2024, we have unflinching confidence in our core strategies, operational tactics, and the resilience of the circular economy.”

Today, we are pleased to announce a new share repurchase program, re-iterating our steadfast commitment to enhancing shareholder value.”

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results

REVENUE

Total net revenues increased by 29.9% to RMB3,873.6 million (US$545.6 million) from RMB2,981.2 million in the same period of 2022.

Net product revenues increased by 31.1% to RMB3,522.5 million (US$496.1 million) from RMB2,687.9 million in the same period of 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the sales of pre-owned consumer electronics both through the Company’s online and offline channels.
Net service revenues increased by 19.7% to RMB351.1 million (US$49.5 million), compared to RMB293.3 million in the same period of 2022. This increase was primarily due to the recovery of Paipai and PJT marketplaces from the COVID-19 pandemic's negative impact during 2022.

OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES

Operating costs and expenses were RMB3,894.0 million (US$548.5 million), compared to RMB3,370.6 million in the same period of 2022, representing an increase of 15.5%.

Merchandise costs were RMB3,150.0 million (US$443.7 million), compared to RMB2,370.5 million in the same period of 2022, representing an increase of 32.9%. This was primarily due to the growth in product sales.
Fulfillment expenses were RMB301.1 million (US$42.4 million), compared to RMB274.9 million in the same period of 2022, representing an increase of 9.5%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel costs as the Company conducted more recycling and transaction activities compared with the same period of 2022.
Selling and marketing expenses were RMB317.0 million (US$44.7 million), compared to RMB594.0 million in the same period of 2022, representing a decrease of 46.6%. The decrease was primarily due to (i) the recognition of the impairment loss of intangible assets and deferred cost in fourth quarter of 2022 which was nil in fourth quarter of 2023, and (ii) a decrease in amortization of intangible assets and deferred cost resulting from assets and business acquisitions, after recognizing the impairment loss of intangible assets and deferred cost in the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in marketing expenses.
General and administrative expenses were RMB62.2 million (US$8.8 million), compared to RMB76.6 million in the same period of 2022, representing a decrease of 18.8%, primarily due to (i) a one-off consulting fees incurred in the fourth quarter of 2022, and (ii) a decrease in share-based compensation expenses.
Technology and content expenses were RMB63.8 million (US$9.0 million), compared to RMB54.5 million in the same period of 2022, representing an increase of 17.1%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel costs in connection with the future ongoing upgrade of the Company’s operation center and system.

Net product revenues increased by 34.4% to RMB11,658.3 million (US$1,642.0 million) from RMB8,676.7 million in the full year of 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the sales of pre-owned consumer electronics through the Company’s online and offline channels.
Net service revenues increased by 9.6% to RMB1,307.5 million (US$184.2 million) from RMB1,192.8 million in the full year of 2022. The increase was primarily due to the recovery of Paipai and PJT marketplaces from the COVID-19 pandemic's negative impact during 2022.

Merchandise costs were RMB10,338.9 million (US$1,456.2 million), compared to RMB7,596.6 million in the full year of 2022, representing an increase of 36.1%. The increase was primarily due to the growth in product sales.
Fulfillment expenses were RMB1,124.0 million (US$158.3 million), compared to RMB1,123.5 million in the full year of 2022, representing a minor statistic change. This minor change was primarily due to an increase in personnel costs as the Company conducted more recycling and transaction activities compared with the year of 2022, which partially offset by (i) a decrease in logistics expenses and operation center related expenses as the Company kept optimizing its store and operation station networks, and (ii) a decrease in share-based compensation expenses.

Selling and marketing expenses were RMB1,250.9 million (US$176.2 million), compared to RMB1,536.1 million in the full year of 2022, representing a decrease of 18.6%.

General and administrative expenses were RMB266.0 million (US$37.5 million), compared to RMB230.4 million in the full year of 2022, representing an increase of 15.5%. The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase in expected credit loss, and (ii) an increase in office related expenses.
Technology and content expenses decreased by 14.1% to RMB195.7 million (US$27.6 million) from RMB227.8 million in the full year of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in one-off technological expenses as the Company’s platforms become more sustainable.

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 from operations excluding the impact of the impairment loss of deferred cost, intangible assets and goodwill, share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets and deferred cost resulting from assets and business acquisitions. Adjusted net income is net loss excluding the impact of the impairment loss of deferred cost, intangible assets and goodwill, share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets and deferred cost resulting from assets and business acquisitions and tax effects of impairment loss of deferred cost and intangible assets and amortization of intangible assets and deferred cost 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 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 from operations and net 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 impairment loss of deferred cost, intangible assets and goodwill, share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets and deferred cost resulting from assets and business acquisitions and tax effects of impairment loss of deferred cost and intangible assets and amortization of intangible assets and deferred cost 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.”
