First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Net Revenues (including value added taxes, or "VAT," of RMB1,039.3 million and RMB1,064.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively). Total net revenues in the first quarter of 2025 were RMB2,699.9 million (US$372.1 million), representing an increase of 19.0% from RMB2,268.7 million in the same period of 2024, primarily attributable to an increase in revenues from freight matching services.

Freight matching services. Revenues from freight matching services in the first quarter of 2025 were RMB2,247.1 million (US$309.7 million), representing an increase of 20.2% from RMB1,869.7 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was mainly due to the rapid increase in transaction service.

• Freight brokerage service. Revenues from freight brokerage service in the first quarter of 2025 were RMB965.7 million (US$133.1 million), remaining nearly flat compared with RMB965.2 million in the same period of 2024, primarily attributable to an increase in service fee rate, offset by a decrease in transaction volume.

• Freight listing service. Revenues from freight listing service in the first quarter of 2025 were RMB234.9 million (US$32.4 million), an increase of 10.0% from RMB213.5 million in the same period of 2024, primarily due to the growing number of total paying members.

Value-added services.⁴ Revenues from value-added services in the first quarter of 2025 were RMB452.8 million (US$62.4 million), an increase of 13.5% from RMB399.0 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily due to growing demand for credit solutions.

Cost of Revenues (including VAT net of government grants of RMB795.2 million and RMB466.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively). Cost of revenues in the first quarter of 2025 was RMB698.6 million (US$96.3 million), a decrease of 32.3% from RMB1,031.9 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in VAT, related tax surcharges and other tax costs, net of grants from government authorities. These tax-related costs net of government grants totaled RMB565.6 million, representing a decrease of 37.7% from RMB908.0 million in the same period of 2024, primarily due to a decrease in tax costs net of government grants related to the Company's freight brokerage service.

Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses in the first quarter of 2025 were RMB377.9 million (US$52.1 million), compared with RMB340.1 million in the same period of 2024.

General and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2025 were RMB186.0 million (US$25.6 million), compared with RMB264.5 million in the same period of 2024.

Further Investments In Plus PRC Holding Ltd ("Plus PRC")

On May 16, 2025, the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") approved that the Company may make additional investment of US$125 million in the preferred shares of Plus PRC.  The US$125 million will count in the principal and accrued interest of certain convertible notes issued by Plus PRC and purchased by the Company in May 2024 and January 2025 (the "Convertible Notes") as the Company intends to convert the principal and accrued interest of such Convertible Notes into preferred shares of Plus PRC. Certain other investors, including Mr. Peter Hui Zhang, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, intend to make concurrent investments in Plus PRC on substantially the same terms as the Company. While the exact investment amounts of the other investors are subject to adjustment, the Company expects to hold no less than 52.8% equity interest and 56.2% voting rights in Plus PRC (excluding any shares reserved for future issuance under the share incentive plan of Plus PRC) upon completion of these investment transactions, and with expected amendment to the memorandum and articles of association of Plus PRC that will allow the Company to control the board of Plus PRC, the Company expects to consolidate the financial results of Plus PRC into its consolidated financial statements upon completion of these investment transactions. A definitive agreement has not yet been entered into for these investment transactions. There is no guarantee that a definitive agreement will be signed or that these investment transactions will be completed.

Share Repurchases

The Company repurchased a total of 60,728,727 ordinary shares from certain executive officers of the Company for an aggregate consideration of US$37,499,988.92 in privately negotiated transactions on May 19, 2025. The repurchased shares correspond to part of the vested share-based awards previously granted to these executive officers. The repurchase price was set at US$0.6175 per ordinary share, which was determined by dividing US$12.35, the closing price of the Company's ADSs on May 16, 2025, by 20, which is the ratio of the Company's Class A ordinary shares to ADSs. The Company intends to cancel all of the repurchased shares in accordance with applicable rules and regulations.

The above share repurchases were conducted pursuant to resolutions of the Board, which authorized the Company to repurchase ordinary shares corresponding to vested share-based awards granted under the Company's share incentive plans. Such repurchases were not conducted, and therefore will not reduce the amount of ADSs and/or ordinary shares that the Company may repurchase, under its existing share repurchase program as previously announced by the Company. Such repurchases were intended to enable the executive officers to realize the benefits from some of their vested share-based awards through privately negotiated transactions as opposed to reselling such shares in the open market. Among these executive officers, Mr. Peter Hui Zhang has committed to using all net proceeds from the Company's repurchase of his vested shares for his investment in the preferred shares of Plus PRC. The repurchases were funded from the Company's existing cash reserves.

The Company announced that Mr. Simon Chong Cai was appointed as the Chief Financing and Investment Officer of the Company in charge of financing, investment and investor relations and ceased to be the Chief Financial Officer of the Company effective May 21, 2025.

Additionally, Mr. Langbo Guo, the Company's President, has expanded his responsibilities to include financial, tax, and cash planning and management, in addition to his existing duties related to strategic planning and operational analysis.

The Company defines non-GAAP adjusted basic and diluted net income per ADS as non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of basic and diluted ADSs, respectively.

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 an analytical tool. The non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect all items of expense that affect its operations.
