| [12-November-2025] |
SHANGHAI, Nov. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Dingdong (Cayman) Limited ("Dingdong" or the "Company") (NYSE: DDL), a leading fresh grocery e-commerce company in China, with advanced supply chain capabilities, today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Third Quarter 2025 Highlights:
Mr. Changlin Liang, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Dingdong, stated, "As of the third quarter of 2025, Dingdong has maintained profitability under non-GAAP standards for twelve consecutive quarters and under GAAP standards for seven consecutive quarters. Despite a higher baseline compared to the same period last year, revenue has achieved year-over-year growth, which marks the seventh straight quarters. This sustained expansion and steady achievement of profit targets fully demonstrate Dingdong's strategic resilience and execution excellence amid the current complex market and competitive landscape, providing strong momentum for advancing our long-term strategy. Building on the "One Big, One Small, One World" framework introduced in the third quarter, and leveraging our strengths in supply chain, product development, and IT systems bolstered by sustained profitability and solid cash reserves, Dingdong is confident in forging a unique, quality-focused, efficient, and resilient growth path through intense competition—and in maintaining last year's scale and non-GAAP profitability in the fourth quarter." Mr. Song Wang, Chief Financial Officer of Dingdong, stated, "In the third quarter of 2025, Dingdong reported revenue of RMB6.66 billion, marking a 1.9% year-on-year growth and maintaining positive growth for seven straight quarters. Non-GAAP net profit reached RMB0.1 billion with a 1.5% net profit margin, while GAAP net profit was RMB0.08 billion with a 1.2% margin. We had net operating cash inflow of RMB0.14 billion in the third quarter of 2025, the ninth consecutive quarter of positive cash flow. By the end of the third quarter, after deducting short-term borrowings, our actual cash owned increased to RMB3.03 billion." Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results Total revenues were RMB6,662.4 million (US$935.9 million) compared with total revenues of RMB6,538.2 million in the same quarter of 2024, increased by 1.9% year over year, primarily due to the rise of number of orders resulting from rise in the average monthly number of transacting users and higher monthly order frequency, and new opened frontline fulfillment stations with density and market penetration improved in East China. The increase was offset by the impact of the price decline in CPI for certain major categories in our business, such as pork, eggs and vegetables, in the third quarter of 2025 and suspension of operations for a number of stations in the third quarter of 2024.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company uses non-GAAP measures, such as non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income margin, non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders and non-GAAP net income per share, basic and diluted, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, which are non-cash charges and do not correlate to any operating activity trends. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about the Company's results of operations, enhance the overall understanding of the Company's past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company's management in its financial and operational decision-making. The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing the Company's operating performance, cash flows or liquidity, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for net loss, cash flows provided by operating activities or other consolidated statements of operations and cash flows data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company's definition of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those of industry peers and may not be comparable with their non-GAAP financial measures. The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance. For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" set forth at the end of this announcement.
