Total Revenues reached RMB1,775.7 million (US$245.91 million), increased steadily by 3.1% quarter-over-quarter from RMB1,722.5 million in the fourth quarter 2023. The increase was mainly due to the expanded revenue from AI related customers. Total revenues decreased by 4.8% from RMB1,864.4 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease was in line with our expectation along with our proactive scaling down of content delivery network (CDN) services, and more stringent project selection of enterprise cloud projects, while was partially offset by the increase from AI related revenues.

The increase was mainly due to the revenue contribution from AI customers. Revenues from public cloud services increased by 2.9%, compared with RMB1,153.7 million in the same quarter of 2023.

Depreciation and amortization costs decreased by 18.3% from RMB224.6 million in the same quarter last year to RMB183.5 million (US$25.4 million) this quarter. The decrease was mainly due to previous impairment of our long-lived assets and partially offset by the depreciation of new servers acquired.

Selling and marketing expenses were RMB116.8 million (US$16.2 million), decreased from RMB126.5 million last quarter and increased from RMB88.1 million in the same period in 2023.

General and administrative expenses were RMB218.7 million (US$30.3 million), compared with RMB294.2 million last quarter and RMB303.5 million in the same period in 2023. The decrease was mainly due to the strict control over administrative expenses and the decrease of credit loss provision.
Research and development expenses were RMB232.0 million (US$32.1 million), increased from RMB175.2 million last quarter and RMB215.4 million in the same period in 2023. The increase was mainly due to the increase of share-based compensation.

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, foreign exchange (gain) loss and impairment of long-lived assets, and we define Non-GAAP net loss margin as Non-GAAP 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 (benefit) 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.

3 Non-GAAP net loss is defined as net loss excluding share-based compensation, foreign exchange (gain) loss and impairment of long-lived assets, and we define Non-GAAP net loss margin as Non-GAAP net loss as a percentage of revenues. See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” set forth at the end of this press release.
4 Non-GAAP EBITDA is defined as Non-GAAP net loss excluding interest income, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, and we define Non-GAAP EBITDA margin as Non-GAAP EBITDA as a percentage of revenues. See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” set forth at the end of this press release.
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.
