Total net revenues were RMB12,776.8 million (US$1,823.6 million), representing an increase of 32.9% from RMB9,613.3 million in the same quarter of 2024. Net revenues growth was primarily driven by a 32.8% year-over-year increase in GMV, which reached RMB14.8 billion, as a result of an increase in the number of products sold resulting from growth in (i) the number of stores in operation as well as (ii) monthly transacting customers.

The increase primarily resulted from the Company's business expansion. Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues was 93.6%, compared to 89.5% in the same quarter of 2024.

-- Delivery expenses were RMB1,630.9 million (US$232.8 million),
representing an increase of 94.5% from RMB838.7 million in the same
quarter of 2024. The significant increase was mainly driven by the rise
in delivery volumes from the third-party food delivery platforms.
-- Sales and marketing expenses were RMB755.6 million (US$107.8 million),

net revenues in the same quarter of 2024.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP operating income/(loss) and non-GAAP net income/(loss), each a non-GAAP financial measure, in reviewing and assessing the Company's 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. The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by the Company's management to evaluate operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in the Company's business, provide further information about the Company's results of operations and enhance the overall understanding of the Company's past performance and future prospects.
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. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company's operations and do not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Furthermore, these non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance. The Company encourages investors and others to review the Company's financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
The Company defines non-GAAP operating income/(loss) as operating income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP net income/(loss) as net income/(loss) excluding recurring item of share-based compensation expenses, non-recurring item of provision for equity litigants settlement, and income tax effects of GAAP to non-GAAP reconciling items, and non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders as net income/(loss) attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders excluding recurring item of share-based compensation expenses, non-recurring item of provision for equity litigants settlement, and income tax effects of GAAP to non-GAAP reconciling items.

CHANGES IN INVENTORY ACCOUNTING
Effective from July 1, 2025, the Company elected to change its method of accounting for certain of its inventories, primarily coffee beans produced in its roasting factories, from the weighted average method to the specific identification method, specifically, the by-batch method. The Company believes the by-batch method of accounting for coffee bean inventory in its roasting factories is preferable because this method: (i) better aligns the accounting records with the physical flow of inventories; (ii) better reflects the current cost of assets; and (iii) better represents how the management assesses the performances of different business units and better supports them to make strategic decisions. The effects of the change in accounting method have been retrospectively applied to all periods presented in all sections of this press release on Form 6-K.
The following financial statement line items within the accompanying unaudited interim 2024 and 2025 quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements were adjusted as follows, with all amounts presented in thousands of RMB, except for per share data:
