2023 Fourth Quarter Financial Results:

Revenues

Total revenues reached RMB64.4 million (US$9.1 million) for the fourth quarter of 2023, representing an increase of 119% year over year. The increase was mainly attributable to strong execution in the ramping up of charging services and stable delivery in the Company’s energy solution projects throughout the fourth quarter of 2023.

Charging services revenues contributed RMB47.6 million (US$6.7 million) for the fourth quarter of 2023, with a growth rate of 114% year over year. The increase was primarily attributable to an overall increase in charging volume completed through NaaS’ EV charging network. The Company offered platform-based incentives to end-users to boost the use of its network, and charging services revenues are recorded net of end-user incentives. Costs associated with end-user incentives and recorded as reductions to total revenues totaled RMB90.7 million (US$12.8 million) and RMB61.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Energy solutions revenues increased by 144% year over year to RMB16.2 million (US$2.3 million) for the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by revenues from the delivery of on-going energy solution projects, especially photovoltaic projects and engineering procurement construction projects, that provide renewable energy generation, energy management and energy storage solutions.

New initiatives revenues were RMB0.6 million (US$0.1 million) for the fourth quarter of 2023, as the Company continued to launch new initiatives to expand its market offerings.

Cost of revenues, gross profit and gross margin

Total cost of revenues increased 114% from RMB22.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 to RMB47.7 million (US$6.7 million) for the fourth quarter of 2023. The change was largely in line with revenue growth.

Total gross profit grew 2.3 times year over year from RMB7.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 to RMB16.7 million (US$2.4 million) for the fourth quarter of 2023, benefiting from solid revenue growth and a year-over-year improvement in gross margin from 24.4% to 26.0%. Gross margin improvement was mainly attributable to an increased number of profitable orders in charging services and benefited from the Company’s growing know-how and capabilities in delivering and executing energy solution projects of different scales.

Operating expenses

Total operating expenses increased from RMB128.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 to RMB415.5 million (US$58.5 million) for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Selling and marketing expenses increased year over year from RMB71.3 million to RMB134.0 million (US$18.9 million) for the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in selling and marketing expenses was mainly attributable to incentives given to an increasing number of end-users and the growth of transaction volume, as well as the expanded sales and marketing efforts relating to the energy solutions business. Costs associated with excess incentives to end-users included in selling and marketing expenses were RMB54.9 million (US$7.7 million) for the fourth quarter of 2023, accounting for 1.2 times charging services revenues, compared with RMB46.9 million and 2.1 times, respectively, for the same period of 2022.

Administrative expenses increased year over year from RMB46.3 million to RMB254.9 million (US$35.9 million) for the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to professional fees to initiate market expansion as well as increased expected credit losses that reflected market conditions.

2023 Full Year Financial Results:

Revenues

Total revenues reached RMB320.1 million (US$45.1 million) for the full year of 2023, representing an increase of 245% year over year. The increase was mainly attributable to the expansion of our charging network and strong delivery in the Company’s energy solution projects throughout 2023.

Charging services revenues contributed RMB129.1 million (US$18.2 million) for 2023, with a growth rate of 56% year over year. The increase was primarily attributable to an expansion of NaaS’ EV charging network. The Company offered platform-based incentives to end-users to boost the use of its network, and charging services revenues are recorded net of end-user incentives. Costs associated with end-user incentives and recorded as reductions to total revenues totaled RMB323.8 million (US$45.6 million) and RMB206.6 million for 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Energy solutions revenues increased by 23.1 times year over year to RMB187.3 million (US$26.4 million) for 2023. The increase was primarily driven by revenues from the delivery of ongoing energy solution projects which provide renewable energy generation, energy management and storage solutions.

New initiatives revenues were RMB3.7 million (US$0.5 million) for 2023, as the Company continued to launch new initiatives to expand its market offerings.

⁴ _{Non-IFRS net loss was arrived at after excluding share-based compensation expenses, equity-settled listing costs, fair value changes of convertible instruments, and fair value changes of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Non-IFRS net margin was calculated by dividing non-IFRS net loss by total revenue. Please refer to the section titled “Unaudited reconciliations of IFRS and non-IFRS financial measures” for details.}

Cost of revenues, gross profit and margin

Total cost of revenues increased 167% year over year to RMB231.3 million (US$32.6 million) for 2023, accompanying the Company’s significant progress in delivering various energy solution projects in mainland China and international markets.

Total gross profit grew 14.4 times year over year from RMB6.2 million to RMB88.8 million (US$12.5 million) for 2023, benefiting from solid revenue growth and significant year-over-year improvement in gross margin from 6.6% to 27.7%. Gross margin improved because the Company started to reap benefits from its growing know-how and capabilities in delivering and executing energy solution projects of different scales.

Operating expenses

Total operating expenses decreased from RMB2.5 billion for 2022 to RMB1.2 billion (US$166.1 million) for 2023.

Selling and marketing expenses increased from RMB241.4 million for 2022 to RMB446.7 million (US$62.9 million) for 2023. The increase was mainly attributable to higher incentives given to end-users and expanded sales and marketing efforts relating to the energy solutions business. Costs associated with excess incentives to end-users included in selling and marketing expenses were RMB224.5 million (US$31.6 million) for 2023, compared with RMB140.8 million for 2022.

Administrative expenses decreased from RMB2.2 billion for 2022 to RMB669.8 million (US$94.3 million) for 2023. This was largely due to the Company’s recording of an equity-settled listing cost of RMB1.9 billion in 2022, which was incurred as a result of the merger transaction in 2022. Excluding the impact of that listing cost, administrative expenses increased 136% from RMB283.3 million to RMB669.8 million (US$94.3 million) mainly due to professional fees to initiate market expansion as well as increased expected credit losses that reflected market conditions.

Research and development expenses increased from RMB36.6 million for 2022 to RMB63.1 million (US$8.9 million) for 2023. The increase was primarily due to the expansion of the Company’s research and development team to enhance the Company’s charging services and energy solutions business.

Finance costs

Finance costs were RMB33.0 million (US$4.6 million) for 2023, compared with finance costs of RMB10.3 million for 2022. Such increase was due to an increase in bank borrowings during the year.

Income tax expenses

Income tax expenses were RMB3.8 million (US$0.5 million) for 2023, compared with income tax expenses of RMB9.9 million for 2022.

Net loss and non-IFRS net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders; net margin and non-IFRS net margin

Non-IFRS net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders was RMB703.8 million (US$99.1 million) for 2023, compared with non-IFRS net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of RMB354.1 million for 2022. Net margin improved from negative 6,074% for 2022 to negative 408% for 2023, whereas non-IFRS net margin improved from negative 382% for 2022 to negative 220% for 2023.
