1Retail IDC MRR: Refers to Monthly Recurring Revenues for the retail IDC business.
Mr. Alvin Wang, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, stated, “We concluded the second quarter of 2020 with strong financial and operational results despite the lingering impact of COVID-19. This solid quarterly performance was mainly driven by our on-track expansion of cabinet capacity in strategic markets as well as our strong sales momentum in both the wholesale and retail IDC space. During the quarter, we expanded our IDC capacity by 4,404 cabinets, continued to fortify our resources and pipeline capacity, as well as appointed a seasoned industry veteran to oversee our Retail IDC Business Group. We believe that these are clear-cut demonstrations of our team’s strong execution capabilities. In light of these advances, we remain confident in our ability to meet our growth target and continue satisfying customer demand.”
Ms. Sharon Liu, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, commented, “As illustrated by the significant improvement to our bottom line, we achieved a strong financial performance in the second quarter of 2020. During the quarter, we continued to expand our cabinet capacity in line with our long-term growth plan, adding 4,404 new cabinets in the period. We also improved our operating efficiency and continued to serve first-rate companies to increase our utilization rates. The Blackstone investment and increasing lines of credit from banks that we received in the quarter have further endorsed our industry leadership and development potential going forward. Looking ahead, we plan to maintain our consistent growth trajectory while also gradually improving our profitability to deliver increasing shareholder returns over the long term.”
Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results
NET REVENUES: Net revenues in the second quarter of 2020 increased by 28.8% to RMB1.14 billion (US$161.9 million) from RMB888.0 million in the second quarter of 2019, representing an increase of 4.9% from RMB1.09 billion in the first quarter of 2020. This increase was mainly due to the growing demand for IDC services, which was caused by the long-term trend of corporate digitization across China.
GROSS PROFIT: Gross profit in the second quarter of 2020 was RMB272.3 million (US$38.5 million), representing an increase of 19.3% from RMB228.2 million in the same period of 2019 and an increase of 16.3% from RMB234.1 million in the first quarter of 2020. Gross margin in the second quarter of 2020 was 23.8%, compared to 25.7% in the same period of 2019 and 21.5% in the first quarter of 2020. The year-over-year decrease in gross margin was mainly due to the delivery of additional IDC capacity and the fact that the utilization rates of these newly-added cabinets require additional time to ramp up.
ADJUSTED CASH GROSS PROFIT, which excludes depreciation, amortization, and share-based compensation expenses, was RMB467.6 million (US$66.2 million) in the second quarter of 2020, compared to RMB403.8 million in the same period of 2019 and RMB417.1 million in the first quarter of 2020. Adjusted cash gross margin in the second quarter of 2020 was 40.9%, compared to 45.5% in the same period of 2019 and 38.2% in the first quarter of 2020.
OPERATING EXPENSES: Total operating expenses in the second quarter of 2020 were RMB193.5 million (US$27.4 million), compared to RMB168.2 million in the same period of 2019 and RMB197.4 million in the first quarter of 2020. As a percentage of net revenues, total operating expenses decreased to 16.9% in the second quarter of 2020 from 18.9% in the same period of 2019 and 18.1% in the first quarter of 2020.
Sales and marketing expenses in the second quarter of 2020 were RMB51.7 million (US$7.3 million), representing an increase of 10.8% from RMB46.6 million in the same period of 2019 and an increase of 6.0% from RMB48.7 million in the first quarter of 2020. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was due to the Company’s efforts to grow its customer base, strengthen its relationships with large-scale customers, and further develop its value-added services.
Research and development expenses in the second quarter of 2020 were RMB23.7 million (US$3.4 million), representing an increase of 25.9% from RMB18.8 million in the same period of 2019 and an increase of 12.8% from RMB21.0 million in the first quarter of 2020. The increase was mainly attributable to the Company’s ongoing investments in technology upgrades.
General and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2020 were RMB119.5 million (US$16.9 million), representing an increase of 16.8% from RMB102.3 million in the same period of 2019 and a decrease of 4.6% from RMB125.2 million in the first quarter of 2020. The year-over-year increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly attributable to increased share-based compensation expenses in connection with the employment of more experienced staff, while the quarter-over-quarter decrease in general and administrative expenses was mainly attributable to the Company’s ongoing work to improve its operating efficiency.
ADJUSTED OPERATING EXPENSES, which exclude share-based compensation expenses, increased to RMB182.5 million (US$25.8 million) in the second quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 13.1% from RMB161.3 million in the second quarter of 2019 and an increase of 2.6% from RMB177.8 million in the first quarter of 2020. As a percentage of net revenues, adjusted operating expenses reduced to 15.9% in the second quarter of 2020 from 18.2% in the same period of 2019 and 16.3% in the first quarter of 2020.
ADJUSTED EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2020 increased to RMB306.4 million (US$43.4 million), representing an increase of 17.5% from RMB260.7 million in the same period of 2019 and an increase of 18.1% from RMB259.4 million in the first quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2020 excluded share-based compensation expenses of RMB11.6 million (US$1.6 million). Adjusted EBITDA margin was 26.8% in the second quarter of 2020, compared to 29.4% in the same period of 2019 and 23.8% in the first quarter of 2020.
NET PROFIT/LOSS: Net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders in the second quarter of 2020 was RMB2.12 billion (US$300.5 million), compared to RMB102.1 million in the same period of 2019 and RMB138.8 million in the first quarter of 2020. Net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders in the second quarter of 2020 mainly included changes in the fair value of convertible promissory notes of RMB1.61 billion (US$228.2 million) due to the rise in the Company’s stock price, and a deemed distribution of RMB470.6 million (US$66.6 million) from the issuance of Series A perpetual convertible preferred shares, both of which were non-operation related and non-cash loss.
PROFIT/LOSS PER SHARE: Basic and diluted loss per share were RMB3.21 (US$0.45) in the second quarter of 2020, which represents the equivalent of RMB19.26 (US$2.70) per American depositary share ("ADS"). Each ADS represents six Class A ordinary shares. Diluted loss per share is calculated using net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding.
As of June 30, 2020, the aggregate amount of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments were RMB4.98 billion (US$704.9 million).
Net cash generated from operating activities in the second quarter of 2020 was RMB161.8 million (US$22.9 million), compared to RMB127.1 million in the same period of 2019 and RMB58.7 million in the first quarter of 2020. The Company paid off the remaining US$131 million of its 2020 Notes in early August.
Financial Outlook
For the third quarter of 2020, the Company expects net revenues to be in the range of RMB1,230 million to RMB1,250 million. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of RMB340 million to RMB360 million.
