SHANGHAI, China, Aug. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Smart Share Global Limited (Nasdaq: EM) (“Energy Monster” or the “Company”), a consumer tech company providing mobile device charging service, today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2023

  • Net income for the second quarter of 2023 was RMB24.5 million, compared to a net loss of RMB184.5 million in the same period last year.
  • As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s services were available in 1,109 thousand POIs, compared with 1,001 thousand as of March 31, 2023.
  • As of June 30, 2023, 62.0% of POIs were operated under our network partner model, compared with 58.8% as of March 31, 2023.
  • As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s available-for-use power banks2 were 8.0 million, compared with 7.2 million as of March 31, 2023.
  • As of June 30, 2023, cumulative registered users3 reached 362.5 million, with 15.4 million newly registered users acquired during the quarter.
  • Mobile device charging orders4 for the second quarter of 2023 was 171.8 million, representing an increase of 24.1% compared to the same period last year.

“We are pleased with the positive recovery trend during the second quarter of 2023 both in terms of our revenue and profitability,” said Mars Guangyuan Cai, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our core strategies of coverage expansion and operational optimization remain central to our business philosophy, allowing us to achieve market-leading growth and operational leverage. With our competitive advantages in place, we are able to leverage our advantages in our network effect to more rapidly consolidate market share. Going into the rest of 2023, we remain positive that we can continue delivering positive values to our stakeholders.”

“Both our direct and network partner models provide flexibility to the expansion of our POI network, continuously propelling Energy Monster’s operation to new heights and placing us in a position to best capture market opportunities,” said Peifeng Xu, Chief Operating Officer. “On one hand, our direct model continues to gain momentum as offline traffic continues to return to normal, allowing us to better capture the opportunities to expand into KAs. On the other hand, our network partner model allows us to more efficiently scale into more regions and diversify our POI composition. We believe that the swift execution and ability to acquire KAs for our direct model and the efficient and expansive reach of our network partner model provide the flexibility required to continue increasing our market share in the industry.”

“During the second quarter of 2023, we made an important change to our contractual arrangement with our network partners that further unlocks our growth potential under the network partner model,” said Maria Yi Xin, Chief Financial Officer. “We also continue to improve our operating efficiency on all fronts during the quarter with profitability continuously trending up. Notably, we were able to regain operating profit for the quarter with further improvements in the near future. We believe that the strength of our core mobile device charging operation’s financials and overall balance sheet serve as pillars to Energy Monster’s growth in the future.”

UPDATE IN CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENT
Starting in the second quarter of 2023, the Company has updated its contractual arrangement with its network partners under the network partner model, shifting the principal role of providing mobile device charging service from the Company to network partners. Under the new contractual arrangement, the Company generates revenue by providing mobile device charging solutions to network partners, including software and system service, billing and settlement service, customer call center service and other services. The ownership rights of cabinets and power banks under the network partner model, which were previously held by the Company, have also been transferred to the network partners under the new contractual arrangement.

Starting in the second quarter of 2023, mobile device charging revenue generated under the network partner model has therefore been recorded under mobile device charging solution, which is now net of incentive fees paid to network partners. Additionally, all incentive fees paid to network partners will be excluded from the Company’s sales and marketing expenses going forward under the new contractual arrangement. Due to the new contractual arrangement, the Company now also generates revenue from cabinet and power bank sales to its network partners as a result of the shift in ownership rights of the cabinets and power banks under the network partner model from the Company to the network partner, and cost of cabinets and power banks sold to network partners will be recognized accordingly.

Starting from the second quarter of 2023, the classification of revenue has been updated accordingly to more clearly reflect the results of the two mobile device charging models. The Company’s classification of mobile device charging operation now consists of the direct model and network partner model. Under the direct model, the Company generates revenue by offering mobile device charging service and sales of power banks to users. Under the network partner model, the Company generates revenue by offering mobile device charging solution and sales of power banks and cabinets to network partners.

The table below sets forth the breakdown of mobile device charging revenue components based on the latest classification:

FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2023

Revenues were RMB1.0 billion (US$142.8 million5) for the second quarter of 2023, representing a 50.0% increase from the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to the increase in mobile device charging revenues due to the change in the contractual arrangement with network partners.

  • Mobile device charging revenues, which consist of revenues generated under both direct and network partner models, increased by 49.6% to RMB1.0 billion (US$141.5 million) for the second quarter of 2023, from RMB686.0 million in the same period of 2022.
    • Revenues generated under the direct model, which comprise of mobile device charging service fee of RMB293.9 million and power bank sales of RMB6.8 million, decreased by 31.8% to RMB300.7 million for the second quarter of 2023, from RMB440.9 million in the same period of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in number of POIs operated under the direct model.
    • Revenues generated under the network partner model, which comprise of mobile device charging solution fee of RMB53.8 million and sales of cabinets and power banks of RMB671.8 million, increased by 196.1% to RMB725.6 million for the second quarter of 2023, from RMB245.1 million in the same period of 2022. The increase was primarily due to the addition of revenue generated from sales of cabinets and power banks as a result of the change in the contractual arrangement with network partners, which includes a one-time recognition of RMB500.6 million in sales of cabinets and power banks to network partners.
  • Other revenues, which primarily comprise of revenue from advertising services and new business initiatives, increased by 107.8% to RMB9.4 million (US$1.3 million) for the second quarter of 2023, from RMB4.5 million in the same period of 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in user traffic from the general recovery in offline foot traffic in China during the second quarter of 2023 and the increase in advertisement efficiency.

Cost of revenues increased by 310.5% to RMB668.5 million (US$92.2 million) for the second quarter of 2023, from RMB162.9 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to the increase in sales of cabinets and power banks in relation to the shift in ownership rights of cabinets and power banks under the network partner model, which includes a one-time recognition of RMB455.8 million in cost of cabinets and power banks sold to network partners. The increase was partially offset by the decrease in depreciation cost.

Research and development expenses decreased by 21.5% to RMB18.7 million (US$2.6 million) for the second quarter of 2023 from RMB23.7 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in personnel related expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 55.6% to RMB295.2 million (US$40.7 million) for the second quarter of 2023 from RMB664.9 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in incentive fees paid to network partners as a result of the change in the contractual arrangement with network partners and the decrease in incentive fees paid to location partners.

General and administrative expenses increased by 9.3% to RMB31.1 million (US$4.3 million) for the second quarter of 2023 from RMB28.5 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to the general decrease in efficiency of our operation.

Income from operations for the second quarter of 2023 was RMB13.6 million (US$1.9 million), compared to a loss from operations of RMB191.0 million in the same period last year.

Net income for the second quarter of 2023 was RMB24.5 million (US$3.4 million), compared to a net loss of RMB184.5 million in the same period last year.

Adjusted net income6 for the second quarter of 2023 was RMB30.1 million (US$4.1 million), compared to an adjusted net loss of RMB177.5 million in the same period last year.

Net income attributable to ordinary shareholders for the second quarter of 2023 was RMB24.5 million (US$3.4 million), compared to a net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of RMB184.5 million in the same period last year.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments of RMB3.2 billion (US$436.2 million).

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE
In evaluating its business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP adjusted net income/(loss) in reviewing and assessing its operating performance. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure 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 this non-GAAP financial measure because it is used by management to evaluate operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure helps identify underlying trends in its business, provide further information about its results of operations, and enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and have limitations as analytical tools. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measure does not reflect all items of expenses that affect its operations and does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Further, the Company’s non-GAAP measure may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore its comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling its non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, which should be considered when evaluating performance. Investors and others are encouraged to review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

The Company defines non-GAAP adjusted net income/(loss) as net income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses. For more information on the non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this press release.
