RMB2,826.4 million (US$388.9 million), a 14.3% increase over the
same period last year of RMB2,472.0 million, or a 17.7% increase
over the same period last year of RMB2,401.3 million (excluding a
previously disclosed one-time termination fee of RMB70.7 million).
The normalized Y-o-Y increase was mainly due to continued ramp-up
of our data centers and business growth.
- Net revenue for China1 was
RMB2,579.6 million (US$355.0 million), an 8.9% increase over the
same period last year of RMB2,369.0 million (excluding a previously

was RMB2,188.5 million (US$301.2 million), a 13.9% increase over

was in line with the continued growth of our business.
Gross profit was RMB637.8 million (US$87.8
million) in the second quarter of 2024, a 15.8% increase over the
same period last year of RMB551.0 million.

quarter of 2024, compared with 22.3% in the same period last year
or 20.0% in the same period last year (excluding a previously
disclosed one-time termination fee). The normalized Y-o-Y increase
was mainly due to the fast ramp-up of our International
business.
Adjusted Gross Profit (“Adjusted GP”) (non-GAAP)
is defined as gross profit excluding depreciation and amortization,
operating lease cost relating to prepaid land use rights, accretion
expenses for asset retirement costs and share-based compensation
expenses allocated to cost of revenue. Adjusted GP was RMB1,451.5
million (US$199.7 million) in the second quarter of 2024, a 10.0%
increase over the same period last year of RMB1,319.8 million, or a
16.2% increase over the same period last year of RMB1,249.1 million
(excluding a previously disclosed one-time termination fee of

second quarter of 2024, compared with 53.4% in the same period last
year or 52.0% in the same period last year (excluding a previously
disclosed one-time termination fee). The normalized Y-o-Y decrease
was mainly due to higher utility cost.

share-based compensation expenses of RMB4.0 million (US$0.6
million), were RMB22.5 million (US$3.1 million) in the second
quarter of 2024, a 1.9% decrease over the same period last year of
RMB22.9 million (excluding share-based compensation of RMB9.3
million). The Y-o-Y decrease was mainly due to less marketing
activities.

share-based compensation expenses of RMB40.9 million (US$5.6
million), depreciation and amortization expenses of RMB99.6 million
(US$13.7 million) and operating lease cost relating to prepaid land

million) (excluding share-based compensation expenses of RMB30.7
million, depreciation and amortization expenses of RMB136.8 million
and operating lease cost relating to prepaid land use rights of
RMB17.5 million). The normalized Y-o-Y increase was mainly due to
fast expansion of our international business.

with RMB5.0 million in the same period last year.

2024 were RMB505.2 million (US$69.5 million), a 7.6% increase over

was mainly due to a higher level of total borrowings.

quarter of 2024 was RMB11.8 million (US$1.6 million), compared with

Non-GAAP Disclosure
Our management and board of directors use
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted GP and Adjusted
GP margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures, to evaluate our
operating performance, establish budgets and develop operational
goals for managing our business. We believe that the exclusion of
the income and expenses eliminated in calculating Adjusted EBITDA
and Adjusted GP can provide useful and supplemental measures of our
core operating performance. In particular, we believe that the use
of Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure captures
the trend in our operating performance by excluding from our
operating results the impact of our capital structure (primarily
interest expense), asset base charges (primarily depreciation and
amortization, operating lease cost relating to prepaid land use
rights, accretion expenses for asset retirement costs and
impairment losses of long-lived assets), other non-cash expenses
(primarily share-based compensation expenses), and other income and
expenses which we believe are not reflective of our operating
performance, whereas the use of adjusted gross profit as a
supplemental performance measure captures the trend in gross profit
performance of our data centers in service by excluding from our
gross profit the impact of asset base charges (primarily
depreciation and amortization, operating lease cost relating to
prepaid land use rights and accretion expenses for asset retirement
costs) and other non-cash expenses (primarily share-based
compensation expenses) included in cost of revenue.
We note that depreciation and amortization is a
fixed cost which commences as soon as each data center enters
service. However, it usually takes several years for new data
centers to reach high levels of utilization and profitability. The
Company incurs significant depreciation and amortization costs for
its early stage data center assets. Accordingly, gross profit,
which is a measure of profitability after taking into account
depreciation and amortization, does not accurately reflect the
Company’s core operating performance.
We also present these non-GAAP measures because
we believe these non-GAAP measures are frequently used by
securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as
measures of the financial performance of companies in our
industry.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not
defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with
U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as
analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance,
cash flows or our liquidity, investors should not consider them in
isolation, or as a substitute for gross profit, net income (loss),
cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities or other
consolidated statements of operations and cash flow data prepared
in accordance with U.S. GAAP. There are a number of limitations
related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures instead of
their nearest GAAP equivalent. First, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted
EBITDA margin, Adjusted GP, and Adjusted GP margin are not
substitutes for gross profit, net income (loss), cash flows
provided by (used in) operating activities or other consolidated
statements of operation and cash flow data prepared in accordance
with U.S. GAAP. Second, other companies may calculate these
non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures
to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the
usefulness of these non-GAAP financial measures as tools for
comparison. Finally, these non-GAAP financial measures do not
reflect the impact of net interest expenses, incomes tax benefits
(expenses), depreciation and amortization, operating lease cost
relating to prepaid land use rights, accretion expenses for asset
retirement costs, share-based compensation expenses, gain from
purchase price adjustment and impairment losses of long-lived
assets, each of which have been and may continue to be incurred in
our business.
We mitigate these limitations by reconciling the
non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable U.S. GAAP
performance measure, all of which should be considered when
evaluating our performance. We do not provide forward-looking
guidance for certain financial data, such as depreciation,
amortization, accretion, share-based compensation and net income
(loss); the impact of such data and related adjustments can be
significant. As a result, we are not able to provide a
reconciliation of forward-looking U.S. GAAP to forward-looking
non-GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort. Such
forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures include the forecast
for Adjusted EBITDA in the section captioned “Business Outlook” set
forth in this press release.
For more information on these non-GAAP financial
measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliations of GAAP
and non-GAAP results” set forth at the end of this press
release.
