COMPANY MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

Mr. Yongchen Lu, CEO & Director of Tims China, stated, "In the fourth quarter, we achieved positive net new store openings and continued our strong momentum in system sales, achieving a 4.0% year-over-year growth. 2025 marked a critical transition year for the Company. We further solidified our differentiated strategic positioning in 'Coffee + Freshly Prepared Food,' completed made-to-order renovations at almost all system-wide stores, surpassed 31 million registered loyalty club members, and received over 10,000 individual sub-franchisee applications by year-end. In the meantime, our sub-franchise businesses maintained steady contribution to cash flows and profitability. Profits from other revenues achieved a year-over-year growth of 55.7% in 2025."

Mr. Dong (Albert) Li, CFO of Tims China, commented, "Amidst macroeconomic volatility and intensive market competition, our team demonstrated strong resilience and achieved profitability improvements through enhanced operational efficiencies, supply chain optimizations, and rigorous cost controls. In 2025, our full-year adjusted corporate EBITDA margin improved by 1.0 percentage point year-over-year. Specifically, for the full year of 2025, food and packaging costs, labor costs, other store operating expenses (each as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores), and adjusted general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased by 1.4 percentage points, 0.8 percentage points, 0.1 percentage points, and 0.7 percentage points, respectively."

FOURTH QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Total revenues were RMB308.5 million (USD44.1 million) for the three months ended December 31, 2025, representing a decrease of 7.3% from RMB332.6 million in the same quarter of 2024. Total revenues comprise:

   -- Revenues from Company owned and operated stores were RMB248.7 million 
      (USD35.6 million) for the three months ended December 31, 2025, 
      representing a decrease of 8.0% from RMB270.2 million in the same quarter 
      of 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to closures of certain 
      underperforming stores and a 1.4% decline in same-store sales growth for 
      company owned and operated stores in the fourth quarter of 2025. The 
      decrease was also attributable to an 8.4% year-over-year decrease in 
      average ticket size, partially offset by a 3.0% increase in the number of 
      orders from 9.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 to 9.8 million in 
      the same quarter of 2025. 
   -- Other revenues were RMB59.8 million (USD8.6 million) for the three months 
      ended December 31, 2025, representing a decrease of 4.3% from RMB62.5 
      million in the same quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to 
      less franchised stores were opened in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared 
      to that in the same quarter of 2024. 

Company owned and operated store costs and expenses were RMB257.3 million (USD36.8 million) for the three months ended December 31, 2025, representing a decrease of 9.4% from RMB283.9 million in the same quarter of 2024. Company owned and operated store costs and expenses comprise:

   -- Food and packaging costs were RMB73.1 million (USD10.5 million) for the 
      three months ended December 31, 2025, representing a decrease of 13.8% 
      from RMB84.8 million in the same quarter of 2024, which was in line with 
      the revenue trend. As we continued to benefit from higher efficiencies in 
      supply chains and cost reduction on raw materials, logistic and 
      warehousing expenses, food and packaging costs as a percentage of 
      revenues from company owned and operated stores decreased by 2.0 
      percentage points from 31.4% in the fourth quarter of 2024 to 29.4% in 
      the same quarter of 2025. 
   -- Rental and property management fees were RMB52.6 million (USD7.5 million) 
      for the three months ended December 31, 2025, representing a decrease of 
      7.4% from RMB56.9 million in the same quarter of 2024, which was in line 
      with the revenue trend as the number of our company-owned and operated 
      stores decreased from 576 as of December 31, 2024 to 562 as of December 
      31, 2025. Rental and property management fees as a percentage of revenues 
      from company owned and operated stores increased slightly by 0.2 
      percentage points from 21.0% in the fourth quarter of 2024 to 21.2% in 
      the same quarter of 2025. 
   -- Payroll and employee benefits expenses were RMB50.6 million (USD7.2 
      million) for the three months ended December 31, 2025, representing a 
      decrease of 7.9% from RMB54.9 million in the same quarter of 2024, which 
      was in line with the revenue trend. Payroll and employee benefits 
      expenses as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated 
      stores remained stable at 20.3% in both the fourth quarter of 2024 and 
      2025. 
   -- Delivery costs were RMB33.0 million (USD4.7 million) for the three months 
      ended December 31, 2025, representing an increase of 15.5% from RMB28.6 
      million in the same quarter of 2024, which was in line with the 29.2% 
      increase in delivery orders from 4.8 million in the fourth quarter of 
      2024 to 6.2 million in the same quarter of 2025. Delivery costs as a 
      percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores increased 
      by 2.7 percentage points to 13.3% in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared 
      to 10.6% in the same quarter of 2024, which was primarily due to delivery 
      revenue as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated 
      stores increased from 51.8% in Q4 2024 to 65.6% in Q4 2025. 
   -- Other operating expenses were RMB21.7 million (USD3.1 million) for the 
      three months ended December 31, 2025, representing a decrease of 4.4% 
      from RMB22.7 million in the same quarter of 2024, which was in line with 
      the revenue trend. Other operating expenses as a percentage of revenues 
      from company owned and operated stores increased by 0.3 percentage points 
      to 8.7% in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to 8.4% in the same 
      quarter of 2024. 
   -- Store depreciation and amortization expenses were RMB26.2 million (USD3.7 
      million) for the three months ended December 31, 2025, representing a 
      decrease of 27.3% from RMB36.1 million in the same quarter of 2024, which 
      was primarily due to impairment on property and equipment in relation to 
      company owned and operated store closures and the reduced capital 
      expenditures per store as a result of our initiatives to improve store 
      unit economics. Store depreciation and amortization as a percentage of 
      revenues from company owned and operated stores decreased by 2.9 
      percentage points to 10.5% in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to 
      13.4% in the same quarter of 2024. 

Costs of other revenues were RMB41.5 million (USD5.9 million) for the three months ended December 31, 2025, representing a decrease of 14.4% from RMB48.5 million in the same quarter of 2024, which was in line with the revenue trend. Costs of other revenues as a percentage of other revenues decreased by 8.3 percentage points from 77.7% in the fourth quarter of 2024 to 69.4% in the same quarter of 2025 due to higher margin we generated from franchise business during the fourth quarter of 2025.

Marketing expenses were RMB16.3 million (USD2.3 million) for the three months ended December 31, 2025, representing an increase of 18.4% from RMB13.8 million in the same quarter of 2024, as we expanded our branding initiatives and promotional offers. Accordingly, marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased by 1.2 percentage points from 4.1% in the fourth quarter of 2024 to 5.3% in the same quarter of 2025.

General and administrative expenses were RMB63.0 million (USD9.0 million) for the three months ended December 31, 2025, representing a decrease of 17.4% from RMB76.3 million in the same quarter of 2024, which was primarily due to a RMB9.7 million (USD1.4 million) decrease in credit loss of account receivables. As a result of the foregoing, adjusted general and administrative expenses, which excludes: (i) share-based compensation expenses of RMB0.4 million (USD0.1 million), (ii) professional fees related to financing programs of RMB15.2 million (USD2.2 million); and (iii) reversal of impairment losses of rental deposits of RMB1.2 million (USD0.2 million), were RMB48.6 million (USD7.0 million), representing a decrease of 36.9% from RMB77.1 million in the same quarter of 2024. Adjusted general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased by 7.4 percentage points from 23.2% in the fourth quarter of 2024 to 15.8% in the same quarter of 2025. For more information on the Company's non-GAAP financial measures, please see "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to the Most Directly Comparable GAAP Measures" set forth at the end of this earnings release.

Franchise and royalty expenses were RMB15.4 million (USD2.2 million) for the three months ended December 31, 2025, representing an increase of 10.3% from RMB14.0 million in the same quarter of 2024, which was primarily due to an increase in the number of systemwide stores from 1,022 as of December 31, 2024 to 1,047 as of December 31, 2025 and a higher royalty rate applicable. Accordingly, franchise and royalty expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased by 0.8 percentage points, from 4.2% in the fourth quarter of 2024 to 5.0% in the same quarter of 2025.

Impairment losses of long-lived assets were RMB31.2 million (USD4.5 million) for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to RMB15.9 million in the same quarter of 2024, which was primarily due to an increase in the number of planned closures of underperforming company owned and operated stores.

As a result of the foregoing, operating loss was RMB118.6 million (USD17.0 million) for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to RMB117.2 million in the same quarter of 2024.

Adjusted Corporate EBITDA was a loss of RMB35.4 million (USD5.1 million) for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to a loss of RMB49.4 million in the same quarter of 2024. Adjusted Corporate EBITDA margin was negative 11.6% in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to negative 14.9% in the same quarter of 2024.

Net loss from continuing operations was RMB227.2 million (USD32.5 million) for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to RMB138.9 million for the same quarter of 2024. Adjusted net loss was RMB75.7 million (USD10.8 million) for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to RMB98.0 million for the same quarter of 2024.

Net loss was RMB227.2 million (USD32.5 million) for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to RMB132.4 million for the same quarter of 2024.

Basic and diluted loss per ordinary share was RMB7.01 (USD1.00) in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to RMB4.05 in the same quarter of 2024. Adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share was RMB2.36 (USD0.34) in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to RMB2.99 in the same quarter of 2024.

Liquidity

As of December 31, 2025, the Company's total cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and time deposits were RMB129.7 million (USD18.5 million), compared to RMB184.2 million as of December 31, 2024. The change was primarily attributable to cash disbursements on the back of the expansion of our business, partially offset by the draw-down of additional bank borrowings.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, namely company owned and operated store contribution, company owned and operated store contribution margin, adjusted general and administrative expenses, adjusted corporate EBITDA, adjusted corporate EBITDA margin, adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss margin, and adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. The Company defines (i) company owned and operated store contribution as fully burdened gross profit of company owned and operated stores excluding depreciation and amortization; (ii) company owned and operated store contribution margin as company owned and operated store contribution as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores; (iii) adjusted general and administrative expenses as general and administrative expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses, expenses related to the Commitment Shares, the ESA Offering Costs, the Option Shares, professional fees related to warrant exchange and other financing programs, and impairment losses of rental deposits; (iv) adjusted corporate EBITDA as operating loss for continuing operations excluding certain non-cash expenses consisting of depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expenses, impairment losses of long-lived assets, loss on disposal of property and equipment, expenses related to the Commitment Shares, the ESA Offering Costs, the Option Shares, professional fees related to warrant exchange and other financing programs, and impairment losses of rental deposits; (v) adjusted corporate EBITDA margin as adjusted corporate EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues; (vi) adjusted net loss as net loss for continuing operations excluding share-based compensation expenses, impairment losses of long-lived assets, loss on disposal of property and equipment, expenses related to the Commitment Shares, the ESA Offering Costs, the Option Shares, professional fees related to warrant exchange and other financing programs, impairment losses of rental deposits, changes in fair value of convertible notes, changes in fair value of warrant liabilities, changes in fair value of ESA derivative liabilities, loss of the debt extinguishment and gain on disposal of Popeyes business; (vii) adjusted net loss margin as adjusted net loss as a percentage of total revenues; and (viii) adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share as adjusted net loss for continuing operations attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders divided by weighted-average number of basic and diluted ordinary share. The Company believes company owned and operated store contribution, company owned and operated store contribution margin, adjusted general and administrative expenses, adjusted corporate EBITDA, adjusted corporate EBITDA margin, adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss margin, and adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share enhance investors' overall understanding of its financial performance and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and generally relate to future events or the Company's future financial or other performance metrics. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "believe," "may," "will," "potentially," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "could," "would," "project," "target, " "plan," "expect," or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain and subject to material change. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include various factors beyond management's control, including, but not limited to, general economic conditions and other risks, uncertainties and factors set forth in the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F, and other filings it makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Nothing in this communication should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements in this communication, which speak only as of the date they are made and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the cautionary statements herein. Except as required by law, the Company expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company's expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any statement is based.

STATEMENT REGARDING PRELIMINARY UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The unaudited financial information set out in this earnings release is preliminary and subject to potential adjustments. Adjustments to the consolidated financial statements may be identified when audit work has been performed for the Company's year-end audit, which could result in significant differences from this preliminary unaudited financial information. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance upon these preliminary estimates. The preliminary unaudited financial information included in this press release has been prepared by, and is the responsibility of, the Company's management. The Company's auditor has not audited, reviewed, compiled, or applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to such preliminary financial data. Accordingly, the Company's auditor does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. Upon completion of the year-end audit, the Company's audited financial results may differ materially from its preliminary estimates.
