Leveraging our distinctive on-demand, dedicated courier model, we delivered customized, high-value services while exploring new user scenarios, further expanding our ability to meet diverse needs. Meanwhile, deepening partnerships with enterprise clients and enhanced rider capabilities underpinned our results and reinforced our standing as the trusted leader in instant delivery.

Mr. Luke Tang, Chief Financial Officer of FlashEx, said, “Given the diversity of our customers and business, the intense competition in food delivery and on-demand retail have had only a limited impact on our revenue and profit.

As the on-demand, dedicated courier market expands, we expect to see more emerging opportunities that are ideally suited to our services.”
Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Revenues were RMB1,024.6 million (US$143.0 million) in the second quarter of 2025, compared with RMB1,176.7 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a decline in order volume amid intensified market competition.
Cost of revenues was RMB901.9 million (US$125.9 million), compared with RMB1,049.8 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was in line with the decline in revenues.
Gross profit was RMB122.7 million (US$17.1 million), compared with RMB127.0 million in the same period of 2024. Gross profit margin was 12.0%, compared with 10.8% in the same period of 2024.
Total operating expenses were RMB103.4 million (US$14.4 million), representing an increase of 22.1% from RMB84.7 million in the same period of 2024.
Selling and marketing expenses were RMB48.2 million (US$6.7 million), representing a 7.4% increase from RMB44.9 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in share-based compensation expenses.
General and administrative expenses were RMB36.0 million (US$5.0 million), representing an 82.5% increase from RMB19.7 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in professional fees and share-based compensation expenses.
Research and development expenses were RMB19.2 million (US$2.7 million), remaining relatively stable compared with RMB20.1 million in the same period of 2024.
Income from operations was RMB19.3 million (US$2.7 million), compared with RMB42.3 million in the same period of 2024.
Non-GAAP income from operations1 was RMB31.9 million (US$4.5 million), compared with RMB42.3 million in the same period of 2024.
Changes in fair value of long-term investments were RMB20.5 million (US$2.9 million), primarily reflecting earnings in the fair value measurement of long-term investments.
Other income was RMB1.3 million (US$0.2 million), compared with RMB9.5 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in the amount of government grants.
Net income was RMB53.5 million (US$7.5 million), compared with RMB59.1 million in the same period of 2024.
Non-GAAP net income1 was RMB45.6 million (US$6.4 million), compared with RMB59.1 million in the same period of 2024.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use non-GAAP financial measures, namely non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP net income margin, as supplemental measures to evaluate our operating results and make financial and operational decisions. Non-GAAP income from operations represents income (loss) from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP operating margin is equal to non-GAAP income from operations divided by revenues. Non-GAAP net income represents net income excluding changes in fair value of long-term investments and share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net income margin is equal to non-GAAP net income divided by revenues. Non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders represents net income attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding changes in fair value of long-term investments and share-based compensation expenses.
By excluding the impact of changes in fair value of long-term investments and share-based compensation expenses, which are non-cash charges, we believe that non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain earnings or losses that we include in results based on U.S. GAAP. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility into key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.
Our non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to U.S. GAAP results. In addition, our calculation of non-GAAP financial information may be different from the calculation used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.
Reconciliations of our non-GAAP results to our U.S. GAAP financial measures are set forth in tables at the end of this earnings release, which provide more details on the non-GAAP financial measures.
