    Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results

    Total Revenues reached RMB2,131.0 million (US$308.91 million), in line with our guidance, increased steadily by 8.2% quarter-over-quarter, but a decrease of 19.9% from RMB2,659.7 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease was mainly due to our proactive scaling down of CDN services, with its gross billings decreased by 20.7% on year-over-year basis, and more stringent project selection of enterprise cloud projects.

    • Revenues from public cloud services slightly increased from RMB1,346.0 million in last quarter, but decreased by 12.2% to RMB1,344.3 million (US$194.9 million), compared with RMB1,530.5 million in the same quarter of 2021. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to the above-mentioned scaling down of our CDN services.
    • Revenues from enterprise cloud services were RMB785.9 million (US$113.9 million), representing a growth of 26.4% from RMB622.0 million last quarter and a decrease of 30.4% from RMB1,128.8 million in the same quarter of 2021. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to the impact of the resurgence of COVID-19, as well as more stringent project selection.
    • Other revenues were RMB0.8 million (US$0.1 million).

    Cost of revenues was RMB1,969.1 million (US$285.5 million), representing a significant decrease of 25.2% from RMB2,631.8 million in the same quarter of 2021. IDC costs decreased significantly by 20.0% year-over-year from RMB1,321.9 million to RMB1,057.6 million this quarter. Depreciation and amortization costs increased by 6.4% from RMB227.2 million to RMB241.7 million. Solution development and services costs decreased by 6.3% from RMB497.2 million to RMB465.8 million this quarter. Fulfillment costs and other costs were RMB155.6 million and RMB48.4 million this quarter, which are in line with our enterprise cloud projects’ quality control strategy.

    Gross profit was RMB162.0 million (US$23.5 million), a significant increase of 480.7% from RMB27.9 million in the same period in 2021. Gross margin was 7.6%, compared with 1.0% in the same period in 2021. Non-GAAP gross profit2 was RMB168.5 million (US$24.4 million), compared with RMB33.2 million in the same period in 2021. Non-GAAP gross margin2 was 7.9%, compared with 1.2% in the same period in 2021. The significant improvement of our gross profit and margin was mainly due to our strategic adjustment of revenue mix, optimized enterprise cloud project selection and efficient cost control measures.

    Total operating expenses were RMB824.3 million (US$119.5 million), compared with RMB626.6 million last quarter and RMB698.6 million in the same period in 2021. Among which:

    Selling and marketing expenses were RMB126.1 million (US$18.3 million), further decreased from RMB143.4 million last quarter and RMB177.1 million in the same period in 2021.

    General and administrative expenses were RMB442.8 million (US$64.2 million), compared with RMB235.1 million last quarter and RMB243.3 million in the same period in 2021. The increase was mainly due to non-recurring Hong Kong listing expenses of RMB94.9 million and loss on disposal of property and equipment of RMB28.8 million.

    Research and development expenses were RMB255.5 million (US$37.0 million), further decreased from RMB248.1 million last quarter and RMB278.2 million in the same period in 2021.

    Operating loss was RMB662.4 million (US$96.0 million), compared with operating loss of RMB504.2 million last quarter and RMB670.7 million in the same quarter of 2021.

    Net loss was RMB521.7 million (US$75.6 million), compared with net loss of RMB801.4 million last quarter and RMB482.2 million in the same quarter of 2021. Besides the impact from operating loss changes, the year-over-year increase of net loss was also impacted by the decrease of other gain and other income, which were mainly related to government subsidies.

    Non-GAAP net loss3 was RMB552.7 million (US$80.1 million), compared with net loss of RMB530.7 million last quarter and RMB404.4 million in the same quarter of 2021.

    Non-GAAP EBITDA4 was RMB-245.1 million (US$-35.5 million), impacted by non-recurring Hong Kong listing expenses of RMB94.9 million, and loss on disposal of property and equipment of RMB28.8 million, compared with RMB-202.0 million last quarter and RMB-126.3 million in the same quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP EBITDA margin was -11.5%, compared with -10.3% last quarter and -4.7% in the same quarter of 2021. If excluding the Hong Kong listing expenses and loss on disposal of property and equipment expenses, our Non-GAAP EBITDA margin would be -5.7%.

    Basic and diluted net loss per share was RMB0.14 (US$0.02), compared with RMB0.22 last quarter and RMB0.13 in the same quarter of 2021.

    Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were RMB4,672.8 million (US$677.5 million) as of December 31, 2022, representing strong and sustainable cash reserve. The decrease quarter-over-quarter was mainly due to our repayment of around RMB500 million loan from Kingsoft Group.

    Net cash generated from operating activities amounted to RMB370.4 million, indicating the third consecutive quarter in which we recorded positive operating cash flow. Free cash flow, as measured by net cash generated from operating activities of RMB370.4 million minus capital expenditure of RMB110.8 million, was RMB259.6 million, marking the first quarter of positive free cash flow.

    Fiscal Year 2022 Financial Results

    Total Revenues reached RMB8,180.1 million (US$1,186.0 million), representing a decrease of 9.7% from RMB9,060.8 million in 2021. The decrease was due to proactive scale-down of delivery services within public cloud services, and more stringent project selection of enterprise cloud services.

    • Revenues from public cloud services were RMB5,360.3 million (US$777.2 million), representing a decrease of 13.0% from RMB6,159.1 million in 2021. 
    • Revenues from enterprise cloud services were RMB2,817.0 million (US$408.4 million), representing a decrease of 2.8% from RMB2,897.8 million in 2021.

    Cost of revenues was RMB7,750.6 million (US$1,123.7 million), representing a decrease of 11.0% from RMB8,709.5 million in 2021. Among which: IDC costs decreased by 16.2% to RMB4,275.3 million (US$619.9 million) in 2022 from RMB5,101.5 million in 2021. The decrease was in line with our adjustment of public cloud services. Depreciation and amortization costs were RMB990.7 million (US$143.6 million) in 2022, compared with RMB785.2 million in 2021, mainly as a result of capital expenditures in electronic equipment. Fulfillment costs were RMB396.8 million (US$57.5 million), representing a decrease of 78.6% from RMB1,851.3 million in 2021. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease of revenues from Kingsoft Cloud enterprise cloud services that was due to COVID-19 negative impacts, and the decrease of fulfillment costs as percentages of total enterprise cloud services revenue due to our strategic focus on selected high quality projects. Solution development and services costs were RMB1,873.9 million (US$271.7 million) in 2022, compared with RMB678.2 million in 2021. The increase was mainly due to our full-year consolidation of Camelot in 2022. Other costs were RMB213.9 million (US$31.0 million) in 2022, compared with RMB293.3 million in 2021.

    Gross profit increased to RMB429.5 million (US$62.3 million) in 2022, from RMB351.3 million in 2021. Gross margin increased to 5.3%, from 3.9% in 2021. Non-GAAP gross profit increased to RMB445.2 million (US$64.5 million) in 2022, from RMB368.8 million in 2021. Non-GAAP gross margin increased to 5.4% in 2022 from 4.1% in 2021. Such increases were primarily because of the optimization of revenue mix and our effective cost controls.

    Selling and marketing expenses were RMB560.1 million (US$81.2 million), compared with RMB518.2 million in 2021. The increase was mainly due to the amortization expenses related to Camelot’s acquisition.

    General and administrative expenses were RMB1,149.7 million (US$166.7 million), compared with RMB601.7 million in 2021. The increase was mainly due to the non-recurring Hong Kong listing expenses and loss on disposal of property and equipment, as well as Camelot share awards expenses, workforce optimization related compensations and credit loss.

    Research and development expenses were RMB971.2 million (US$140.8 million), compared with RMB1,043.8 million in 2021. The decrease was mainly due to the workforce optimization.

    Operating loss was RMB2,251.4 million (US$326.4 million), compared with RMB1,812.4 million in 2021.

    Net loss was RMB2,688.4 million (US$389.8 million), compared with net loss of RMB1,591.8 million in 2021. The increase was due to the increase of workforce optimization related compensations, credit loss, Hong Kong listing expenses, Camelot share awards expenses, while offset by the improvement of gross profits and changes of foreign exchange rates.

    Non-GAAP net loss was RMB1,993.9 million (US$289.1 million), compared with net loss of RMB1,195.2 million in 2021.

    Non-GAAP EBITDA was RMB-755.0 million (US$-109.5 million), compared with RMB-343.8 million in 2021. Non-GAAP EBITDA margin was -9.2%, compared with -3.8% in 2021.

    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information is prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In evaluating our business, we consider and use certain non-GAAP measures, Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP gross margin, Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP EBITDA margin, Non-GAAP net loss and Non-GAAP net loss margin, as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures 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. We define Non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit excluding share-based compensation allocated in the cost of revenues, and we define Non-GAAP gross margin as Non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of revenues. We define Non-GAAP net loss as net loss excluding share-based compensation and foreign exchange (gain) loss, and we define Non-GAAP net loss margin as adjusted net loss as a percentage of revenues. We define Non-GAAP EBITDA as Non-GAAP net loss excluding interest income, interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization, and we define Non-GAAP EBITDA margin as Non-GAAP EBITDA as a percentage of revenues. We present these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. We also believe that the use of these non-GAAP measures facilitates investors’ assessment of our operating performance.

    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. One of the key limitations of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect our operations. Further, these non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.

    We compensate for these limitations by reconciling these non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance. We encourage you to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
