COMPANY MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

Mr. Yongchen Lu, CEO & Director of Tims China, commented, “In Q1 2024, our system sales grew by 7.1%, and we continued to improve our bottom-line performance, marching towards achieving our first quarterly adjusted corporate EBITDA breakeven this year. Our registered loyalty club membership exceeded 20 million as of March 31, 2024, a 63.6% year-over-year growth, serving both as a pivotal catalyst for growth and a testament to our customers’ support and embrace of Tims China’s loyalty program.

Continuous product innovation remains a cornerstone of our strategic vision; we launched 14 new beverages and 18 new food products during the quarter. We just celebrated the meaningful milestones of our 5th anniversary in China as well as the 60th anniversary of the “Tim Hortons” brand in February. To commemorate both remarkable milestones and double celebrations, Tims China launched its Chinese version of "Double Double" latte series. Our collaborations with Tangle Angel and Dove Chocolate have also achieved significant success during the quarter.”

Mr. Lu added, “Our Popeyes brand maintains its robust growth trajectory. So far, we have successfully launched 14 Popeyes restaurants and are actively expanding our product offerings beyond the core fried chicken products. Our restaurants represent a solid base for further growth in Shanghai and beyond.”

Mr. Dong (Albert) Li, CFO of Tims China, commented, “During the first quarter of 2024, and in the face of headwinds, we continued to enhance our operational efficiency. We pared back costs at the headquarter level, and we pruned our underperforming stores. These actions allowed us to deliver year-over-year reductions in food and packaging costs, rental expenses, and labor costs (as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores) by 1.0 percentage points, 0.9 percentage points, and 1.3 percentage points, respectively. Our adjusted general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased by 4.1 percentage points year-over-year.”

Mr. Li continued, “Going forward, and with driving profitable, and capital-efficient growth being front and center of everything we do, we will continue to optimize our store unit economics, roll out our differentiating made-to-order fresh food preparation model to drive traffic, enhance our supply chain capabilities and efficiencies, and facilitate our franchisees to manage the growth and profitability of their stores effectively.”

FIRST QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Total revenues reached RMB346.8 million (USD48.0 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of 3.1% from RMB336.5 million in the same quarter of 2023. Total revenues comprise:

  • Revenues from Company owned and operated store sales were RMB311.0 million (USD43.1 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of 0.2% from RMB310.5 million in the same quarter of 2023. The growth was primarily driven by an increase in the number of company owned and operated stores from 551 as of March 31, 2023 to 615 as of March 31, 2024, offset by same-store sales growth for company owned and operated stores of negative 11.7% in the first quarter of 2024.

  • Other revenues were RMB35.8 million (USD5.0 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of 37.5% from RMB26.0 million in the same quarter of 2023. The growth was primarily attributable to revenues from other franchise support activities, which was attributable to an increase in the number of franchised stores from 97 as of March 31, 2023 to 302 as of March 31, 2024.

Company owned and operated store costs and expenses were RMB334.1 million (USD46.3 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing a decrease of 0.7% from RMB336.5 million in the same quarter of 2023. Company owned and operated store costs and expenses comprise:

  • Food and packaging costs were RMB108.5 million (USD15.0 million), representing a decrease of 2.5% from RMB111.3 million, as we continue to benefit from greater economies of scale and higher efficiencies in supply chains. Accordingly, food and packaging costs as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores decreased by 1.0 percentage points from 35.9% in the first quarter of 2023 to 34.9% in the same quarter of 2024.

  • Rental and property management fee was RMB68.6 million (USD9.5 million), representing a decrease of 4.0% from RMB71.4 million, mainly due to the closure of certain underperforming stores during the first quarter 2024. As a result, rental and property management fee as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores decreased by 0.9 percentage points from 23.0% in the first quarter of 2023 to 22.1% in the same quarter of 2024.

  • Payroll and employee benefits expenses were RMB69.0 million (USD9.6 million), representing a decrease of 5.4% from RMB73.0 million. Payroll and employee benefits as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores decreased by 1.3 percentage points from 23.5% in the first quarter of 2023 to 22.2% in the same quarter of 2024, primarily due to the continuous refinement of staffing arrangement and optimization of store managerial efficiencies.

  • Delivery costs were RMB28.6 million (USD4.0 million), representing an increase of 25.7% from RMB22.8 million, due to an increased proportion of home-delivery orders. Delivery costs as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores increased by 1.9 percentage points to 9.2% in the first quarter of 2024 compared to 7.3% in the same quarter of 2023.

  • Other operating expenses were RMB25.3 million (USD3.5 million), representing an increase of 1.0% from RMB25.1 million, in line with our revenue growth and store network expansion. Other operating expenses as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores remained flat at 8.1% in the first quarter of 2023 and 2024.

  • Store depreciation and amortization expenses were RMB34.0 million (USD4.7 million), representing an increase of 3.2% from RMB33.0 million, driven by an increase in the number of company owned and operated stores from 551 as of March 31, 2023 to 615 as of March 31, 2024. Store depreciation and amortization as a percentage of revenues from company owned and operated stores increased by 0.3 percentage points from 10.6% in the first quarter of 2023 to 10.9% in the same quarter of 2024.

Costs for other revenues were RMB25.0 million (USD3.5 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of 32.6% from RMB18.9 million in the same quarter of 2023, which was primarily driven by an increase in the number of franchised stores from 97 as of March 31, 2023 to 302 as of March 31, 2024. Costs for other revenues as a percentage of other revenues decreased by 2.6 percentage points from 72.5% in the first quarter of 2023 to 69.9% in the same quarter of 2024 due to higher margin contribution from our franchised business being realized during the first quarter of 2024.

Marketing expenses were RMB20.7 million (USD2.9 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of 13.4% from RMB18.3 million in the same quarter of 2023, which was primarily driven by the increase in the number of our system-wide stores from 648 as of March 31, 2023 to 917 as of March 31, 2024. Marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased by 0.6 percentage points from 5.4% in the first quarter of 2023 to 6.0% in the same quarter of 2024.

General and administrative expenses were RMB58.7 million (USD8.1 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing a decrease of 16.9% from RMB70.6 million in the same quarter of 2023, which was primarily due to a reduction of our headquarter headcount. Adjusted general and administrative expenses, which excludes share-based compensation expenses of RMB1.0 million (USD0.1 million), and impairment losses of rental deposits of RMB2.5 million (USD0.3 million), were RMB55.2 million (USD7.6 million), representing a decrease of 18.1% from RMB67.5 million in the same quarter of 2023. Adjusted general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased by 4.1 percentage points from 20.0% in the first quarter of 2023 to 15.9% in the same quarter of 2024. For more information on the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures, please see the section “Use of 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 RMB14.1 million (USD2.0 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of 18.7% from RMB11.9 million in the same quarter of 2023, which was primarily driven by the increase in the number of our system-wide stores from 648 as of March 31, 2023 to 917 as of March 31, 2024. Franchise and royalty expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased by 0.6 percentage points, from 3.5% in the first quarter of 2023 to 4.1% in the same quarter of 2024.

Impairment losses of long-lived assets were RMB19.0 million (USD2.6 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to RMB4.4 million in the same quarter of 2023, which was primarily because of planned closings of underperforming company owned and operated stores.

As a result of the foregoing, operating loss was RMB129.4 million (USD17.9 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to RMB130.4 million in the same quarter of 2023.

Adjusted Corporate EBITDA was a loss of RMB53.6 million (USD7.4 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to a loss of RMB74.6 million in the same quarter of 2023. Adjusted Corporate EBITDA margin was negative 15.4% in the first quarter of 2024, representing an improvement of 6.8 percentage points from negative 22.2% in the same quarter of 2023.

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, and professional fees related to warrant exchange and other financing programs; (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, professional fees related to warrant exchange and other financing programs, 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, professional fees related to warrant exchange and other financing programs, 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; and (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.
