Exchange Rate Information

This announcement contains translations of certain RMB amounts into U.S. dollars at specified rates solely for the convenience of readers. Unless otherwise noted, all translations from RMB to U.S. dollars, in this announcement, were made at a rate of RMB6.6981 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate in effect on June 30, 2022 as certified for customs purposes in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board. Missfresh Limited (the “Company”) makes no representation that the RMB or US$ amounts referred could be converted into US$ or RMB, as the case may be, at any particular rate or at all.

Recent Development

As previously disclosed in the Form 6-K furnished with the SEC on July 29, 2022, the Company had to adopt significant adjustments to its business strategy to ensure the Company’s sustainability, including a temporary shutdown of its on-demand Distributed Mini Warehouse (“DMW”) retail business and staff optimization. The on-demand DMW retail business contributed approximately 90% of the Company’s total net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021. As a result, these significant adjustments have had a material and adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial performance, reputation and prospects. Subsequently, the Company also decided to shut down its Next-Day Delivery Business Unit. As of the date hereof, the Company still has not decided whether it will re-open its on-demand DMW retail business. This decision will depend on developments in the Company’s financing and business operations.

In the future, the Company plans to further adjust its business strategy to transition to an integrated online and offline platform, driving and upgrading the digitalization of China’s neighborhood retail industry, by leveraging its extensive market know-how on the grocery supply chain ecosystem and pioneering technological innovations.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP measures, such as non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, and non-GAAP net loss per share, as supplemental measures to review and assess 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The company defines non-GAAP loss from operations as loss from operations excluding share-based compensation. The company defines non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders as net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation, change in fair value of options and embedded conversion feature, accretion of convertible redeemable preferred shares to redemption value, and accretion of convertible redeemable non-controlling preferred shares to redemption value. Non-GAAP basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the periods. Non-GAAP diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares outstanding during the periods, including the dilutive effect of share-based awards as determined under the treasury stock method.

The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate operating performance and formulate business plans. Non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss, and non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders reflect the company’s ongoing business operations in a manner that allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that the use of the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors to understand and evaluate the Company’s current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management does, if they so choose. The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gain/loss and other items that are not expected to result in future cash payments or that are non-recurring in nature or may not be indicative of the Company’s core operating results and business outlook.
