COMPANY MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

Mr. Yongchen Lu, CEO & Director of Tims China, commented, “We demonstrated resilience and agility during the fourth quarter of 2022 and are pleased with our achievements, especially considering the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, which were particularly acute in December given peaks in infection rates across the country. Despite the difficult circumstances, we managed to grow total revenues year-over-year by 34.6%, expand our store network to 617 across 39 cities, launch a series of new bestseller products such as ‘mulled wine flavored brewed coffee’ and ‘salted egg yolk wrap’, and grow our registered loyalty club membership to over 11 million by year-end. With the end of ‘zero-COVID control measures’ by the PRC government authorities in December 2022, we are very excited to embark on a new era of development while continuing to drive strong revenue growth, win market share, and achieve margin expansion in the coming quarters.”

Mr. Lu added, “In 2023, we will continue to execute our differentiated ‘Coffee Plus’ growth strategy by offering creative and customized beverage and food combos at compelling values. This initiative has been highly successful: the percentage of orders with food increased from 38.5% in the fourth quarter of 2021 to 47.1% in the fourth quarter of 2022. We plan to surpass 1,000 system-wide stores by year-end and further enhance our customer-facing technology, key pillars of our strategy of driving ‘absolute convenience’ for our guests.”

Mr. Dong (Albert) Li, CFO of Tims China, commented, “In the fourth quarter of 2022, COVID-19 created tremendous pressure on the entire consumer segment in China and our operations were significantly disrupted by widespread infections. However, our team performed well and remained committed to delivering high-quality products and sustained services, while also maintaining the safety and health of our employees and customers in this volatile environment. In the fourth quarter, we expanded both top-line revenues and adjusted store EBITDA margin and also opened a record net new stores of 131, of which 23 utilize our compact Tims Express format in partnership with Sinopec Easy Joy.”

Mr. Li continued, “Looking ahead, our top near-term financial priorities are to continue to deliver robust revenue growth, expand store-level profitability, and improve adjusted corporate EBITDA margins. By leveraging Tims China’s brand influence and positive consumer perception, growing customer recognition and loyalty, continuous innovation, ever-expanding store network, and disciplined execution, we expect to further optimize our cost structure, improve on operational efficiency, and achieve greater economies of scale.”

IMPACT OF COVID-19 AND RELATED EFFORTS

During the fourth quarter of 2022, our business operations were severely affected due to the resurgence of the pandemic and multiple rounds of lockdowns across major cities in the PRC. In December, the PRC government significantly changed its COVID policies, including removal of mass testing and central quarantine requirements, as well as lifting of travel restrictions. A significant wave of infections occurred and many chose to stay at home. As a result, dine-in traffic declined substantially. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we also experienced approximately 48 daily temporary store closures on average, over twice as many compared to approximately 23 daily temporary store closures on average in the third quarter of 2022.

To cope with and to adapt to challenges from the pandemic, we continued to focus on our digital capabilities in order to capture the growing demand from delivery and takeaway services. As a result, the number of delivery and takeaway orders increased by 47.3% from the fourth quarter of 2021 to the fourth quarter of 2022.

Following the easing of pandemic-related measures, we have gradually resumed normal operations and the overall business environment and consumer sentiment have dramatically improved. This recovery is well demonstrated in our same-store sales performance, which reached 17.1% in February 2023.

FOURTH QUARTER 2022 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Total revenues reached RMB301.5 million (USD43.7 million) for the three months ended December 31, 2022, representing an increase of 34.6% from RMB224.0 million in the same quarter of 2021. Total revenues comprise:

  • Revenues from company owned and operated stores were RMB272.5 million (USD39.5 million) for the three months ended December 31, 2022, representing an increase of 27.5% from RMB213.7 million in the same quarter of 2021. The growth was primarily driven by an increase in the number of company owned and operated stores from 373 as of December 31, 2021 to 547 as of December 31, 2022, offset by negative 7.1% same-store sales growth of company owned and operated stores for the three months ended December 31, 2022.

  • Other revenues were RMB29.0 million (USD4.2 million) for the three months ended December 31, 2022, representing an increase of 180.7% from RMB10.3 million in the same quarter of 2021. The growth was primarily attributable to the rapid expansion of our e-commerce business and an increase in franchise fees and revenues from other franchise support activities, which was attributable to an increase in the number of franchised stores from 17 as of December 31, 2021 to 70 as of December 31, 2022.

Company operated store costs and expenses were RMB310.7 million (USD45.0 million) for the three months ended December 31, 2022, representing an increase of 18.4% from RMB262.5 million in the same quarter of 2021. Company operated store costs and expenses comprise:

Accordingly, rental and property management fee as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores increased by 1.6 percentage points from 26.3% in the fourth quarter of 2021 to 27.9% in the fourth quarter of 2022.

  • Payroll and employee benefits expenses were RMB66.7 million (USD9.7 million), representing a decrease of 7.1% from RMB71.8 million, primarily due to refined staffing arrangement of our store operation personnel and optimization of our labor structure, including hiring more part-time employees, during the fourth quarter of 2022. Payroll and employee benefits as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores decreased by 9.1 percentage points from 33.6% in the fourth quarter of 2021 to 24.5% in the fourth quarter of 2022.

  • Delivery costs were RMB21.9 million (USD3.2 million), representing an increase of 57.4% from RMB13.9 million, due to increased home-delivery orders.

  • Other operating expenses were RMB23.1 million (USD3.4 million), representing a decrease of 17.4% from RMB28.0 million, due to our continuous efforts to optimize our cost structure and drive operating leverage through revenue growth and store network expansion. Other operating expenses as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores decreased by 4.6 percentage points from 13.1% in the fourth quarter of 2021 to 8.5% in the fourth quarter of 2022.

  • Store depreciation and amortization were RMB33.5 million (USD4.9 million), representing an increase of 59.8% from RMB21.0 million, driven by an increase in the number of company owned and operated stores from 373 as of December 31, 2021 to 547 as of December 31, 2022. Store depreciation and amortization as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores increased by 2.5 percentage points from 9.8% in the fourth quarter of 2021 to 12.3% in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Cost of other revenues was RMB22.1 million (USD3.2 million) for the three months ended December 31, 2022, representing an increase of 238.6% from RMB6.5 million in the same quarter of 2021, which was primarily driven by an increase in the number of franchised stores from 17 as of December 31, 2021 to 70 as of December 31, 2022, and the incurrence of cost of product sales related to our e-commerce business during the fourth quarter of 2022.

Marketing expenses were RMB24.3 million (USD3.5 million) for the three months ended December 31, 2022, representing an increase of 18.4% from RMB20.5 million in the same quarter of 2021, which was primarily attributable to the increase in the number of our system-wide stores from 390 as of December 31, 2021 to 617 as of December 31, 2022. ​Marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased by 1.1 percentage points from 9.2% in the fourth quarter of 2021 to 8.1% in the fourth quarter of 2022.

General and administrative expenses were RMB66.5 million (USD9.6 million) for the three months ended December 31, 2022, representing an increase of 13.5% from RMB58.6 million in the same quarter of 2021, which was primarily due to: (i) increased payroll and employee benefits as a result of growing headcount; and (ii) increased share-based compensation expenses recognized. Adjusted general and administrative expenses, which excludes share-based compensation expenses of RMB11.1 million (USD1.6 million), were RMB55.3 million (USD8.0 million). Adjusted general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased by 7.8 percentage points from 26.1% in the fourth quarter of 2021 to 18.3% in the fourth quarter of 2022. For more information on the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures, please see the section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the table captioned “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to the Most Directly Comparable GAAP Measures” set forth at the end of this earnings release.

Franchise and royalty expenses were RMB10.3 million (USD1.5 million) for the three months ended December 31, 2022, representing an increase of 92.6% from RMB5.3 million in the same quarter of 2021, which was primarily driven by the increase in the number of our system-wide stores from 390 as of December 31, 2021 to 617 as of December 31, 2022. Franchise and royalty expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased by 1.0 percentage points from 2.4% in the fourth quarter of 2021 to 3.4% in the fourth quarter of 2022.

As a result of the foregoing, operating loss was RMB131.4 million (USD19.0 million) for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to RMB129.3 million in the same quarter of 2021.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, namely adjusted store EBITDA, adjusted store EBITDA margin, adjusted general and administrative expenses, adjusted corporate EBITDA, adjusted corporate EBITDA margin, adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss margin, and adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. The Company defines (i) adjusted store EBITDA as fully-burdened gross profit of company owned and operated stores excluding depreciation and amortization, and store pre-opening expenses; (ii) adjusted store EBITDA margin as adjusted store EBITDA as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores; (iii) adjusted general and administrative expenses as general and administrative expenses excluding share-based compensation expenses, expenses related to the Commitment Shares, the ESA Offering Costs, and expenses related to the Option Shares; (iv) adjusted corporate EBITDA as operating loss excluding store pre-opening expenses, and certain non-cash expenses consisting of depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expenses, expenses related to the Commitment Shares, the ESA Offering Costs, expenses related to the Option Shares, impairment losses of long-lived assets and loss on disposal of property and equipment; (v) adjusted corporate EBITDA margin as adjusted corporate EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues; (vi) adjusted net loss as net loss excluding store pre-opening expenses, share-based compensation expenses, expenses related to the Commitment Shares, the ESA Offering Costs, expenses related to the Option Shares, impairment losses of long-lived assets, loss on disposal of property and equipment, changes in fair value of convertible notes, changes in fair value of warrant liabilities; and changes in fair value of ESA derivative liabilities; (vii) adjusted net loss margin as adjusted net loss as a percentage of total revenues; (viii) adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share as adjusted net loss attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders divided by weighted-average number of basic and diluted ordinary share. The Company believes adjusted store EBITDA, adjusted store EBITDA margin, adjusted general and administrative expenses, adjusted corporate EBITDA, adjusted corporate EBITDA margin, adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss margin, and adjusted basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share enhance investors' overall understanding of its financial performance and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measures, which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance. For reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the section of the accompanying tables titled, “Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results.” The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.
