Fourth Quarter 2025 Highlights:

  • GMV for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased by 2.4% year over year to RMB6,703.2 million (US$943.0 million) from RMB6,546.6 million in the same quarter of 2024, positive year-on-year growth for eight straight quarters.
  • Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased by 5.7% year over year to RMB6,242.6 million (US$892.7 million) from RMB5,905.0 million in the same quarter of 2024, positive year-on-year growth for eight straight quarters.
  • Total number of orders increased by 3.4% year over year in the fourth quarter of 2025.
  • Net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was RMB33.6 million (US$4.8 million), the eighth consecutive quarter of profitability.
  • Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was RMB50.8 million (US$7.3 million), the thirteenth consecutive quarter of non-GAAP profitability.

Mr. Changlin Liang, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Dingdong, stated, “As of the fourth quarter of 2025, Dingdong has maintained profitability under non-GAAP standards for thirteen consecutive quarters and under GAAP standards for eight consecutive quarters. Also the Company has delivered year-over-year revenue growth for the eighth consecutive quarter. This consistent top-line expansion, together with the steady delivery of profitability objectives, fully underscores Dingdong’s strategic resilience and strong execution capabilities amid the complex and competitive market environment. It also provides solid fundamentals and strong momentum to advance our long-term strategic initiatives.”

Mr. Song Wang, Chief Financial Officer of Dingdong, stated, “In the fourth quarter of 2025, Dingdong reported revenue of RMB6.24 billion, marking a 5.7% year-on-year growth and maintaining positive growth for eight straight quarters. Non-GAAP net profit reached RMB50.8 million with a 0.8% net profit margin, while GAAP net profit was RMB33.6 million with a 0.5% margin. We had net operating cash inflow of RMB0.20 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025, the tenth consecutive quarter of positive cash flow. By the end of the fourth quarter, after deducting short-term borrowings, our actual cash owned increased to RMB3.14 billion, the tenth consecutive quarter of sustained growth.”

Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Total revenues were RMB6,242.6 million (US$892.7 million) compared with total revenues of RMB5,905.0 million in the same quarter of 2024, increased by 5.7% 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. Additionally, our B2B revenue achieved year-over-year growth, with the revenue contribution from overseas B2B operations continuing to increase and posting rapid quarter-over-quarter growth. The increase was offset by the impact of the price decline in CPI for certain major categories in our business, such as pork, in the fourth quarter of 2025.

  • Product Revenues were RMB6,164.6 million (US$881.5 million) compared with product revenues of RMB5,822.5 million in the same quarter of 2024, increased by 5.9% year over year.
  • Service Revenues were RMB78.0 million (US$11.2 million) compared with service revenues of RMB82.5 million in the same quarter of 2024, decreased by 5.4% year over year.

Total operating costs and expenses were RMB6,252.5 million (US$894.1 million) compared with RMB5,848.0 million in the same quarter of 2024, with a detailed breakdown as below:

  • Cost of goods sold was RMB4,415.9 million (US$631.5 million), an increase of 7.2% from RMB4,120.8 million in the same quarter of 2024. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenues increased to 70.7% from 69.8% in the same quarter of 2024. Gross margin decreased to 29.3% from 30.2% in the same quarter of 2024. Since the launch and continued implementation of the 4G Strategy in early 2025, the gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2025 was generally consistent with that of previous quarters, but decreased compared with the same period of the prior year.
  • Fulfillment expenses were RMB1,350.9 million (US$193.2 million), an increase of 5.6% from RMB1,278.9 million in the same quarter of 2024. Fulfillment expenses as a percentage of total revenues slightly decreased to 21.6% from 21.7% in the same quarter of 2024.
  • Sales and marketing expenses were RMB136.7 million (US$19.5 million), a decrease of 0.6% from RMB137.5 million in the same quarter of 2024. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 2.2% from 2.3% in the same quarter of 2024. The year-on-year decrease in marketing expenses is attributable to the positive results achieved by the 4G strategy rolled out in the first three quarters. The company has further focused on the operation strategy of leveraging the organic traffic of high-quality products, reduced investment in inefficient marketing activities, and thus improved the input-output efficiency of marketing expenses.
  • General and administrative expenses were RMB130.3 million (US$18.6 million), an increase of 19.3% from RMB109.2 million in the same quarter of 2024, mainly driven by staff costs, specifically from the new “Dong Li Sheng” management trainees.
  • Product development expenses were RMB218.7 million (US$31.3 million), an increase of 8.5% from RMB201.6 million in the same quarter of 2024. While advocating for energy and resource saving, we will continue to invest in our product development capabilities, agricultural technology, data algorithms, and other technology infrastructure such as the AI technical capability, to further enhance our competitiveness.

Net income from operations was RMB12.0 million (US$1.7 million), compared with net income from operations of RMB61.5 million in the same quarter of 2024.

Non-GAAP income from operations, which is a non-GAAP measure for loss from operations that excludes share-based compensation expenses, was RMB29.1 million (US$4.2 million), compared with Non-GAAP income from operations of RMB86.6 million in the same quarter of 2024.

Net income was RMB33.6 million (US$4.8 million), compared with net income of RMB91.6 million in the same quarter of 2024.

Non-GAAP net income, which is a non-GAAP measure that excludes share-based compensation expenses, was RMB50.8 million (US$7.3 million), compared with non-GAAP net income of RMB116.7 million in the same quarter of 2024. In addition, non-GAAP net income margin, which is the Company’s non-GAAP net income as a percentage of total revenues, was 0.8% compared with 2.0% in the same quarter of 2024.

Basic and diluted net income per share were RMB0.10 (US$0.01) and RMB0.09 (US$0.01), compared with net income per share of RMB0.27 and RMB0.26 in the same quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP net income per share, basic and diluted, were RMB0.15 (US$0.02) and RMB0.14 (US$0.02), compared with RMB0.35 and RMB0.33 in the same quarter of 2024.

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments were RMB3,976.8 million (US$568.7 million) as of December 31, 2025, compared with RMB3,908.2 million as of September 30, 2025. We have been working diligently to optimize our capital usage and financing structure. The cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments and long-term deposits as included in the other non-current assets deducting the balance of short-term borrowings, is RMB3.14 billion, a net increase for the tenth consecutive quarter, compared with RMB3.03 billion as of September 30, 2025.

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.

Dingdong Announces Change in CEO

SHANGHAI, March 4, 2026 /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 the resignation of Mr. Changlin Liang as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the appointment of Mr. Song Wang as the new Chief Executive Officer of the Company, concurrently with his resignation as Chief Financial Officer, effective March 4, 2026. Mr. Liang will continue to serve as Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).

As the founder of the Company, Mr. Liang has served as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer since the inception of the Company in May 2017. Mr. Liang commented, “At the founding of Dingdong in 2017, amid a crowded field of fresh food e‑commerce companies, we survived fierce competition by staying committed to product quality and service excellence. When confronted with the pandemic in 2020, Dingdong stepped up without hesitation and became a major force in securing daily supplies for the public. Following our listing in 2021, we adopted the strategy of “Efficiency First with due Consideration of Scale” to sustain consistent profitability and long‑term viability. All these milestones confirm that the only sustainable path forward is to steadfastly take on the difficult tasks, always put users at the heart, and do what is right for the business and society. Today, Dingdong’s sustained profitability and the formation of our core competitive moat—including superior product strength, beyond‑expectation service quality, and exceptional operational efficiency empowered by our end‑to‑end supply chain system—would not have been possible without the dedication of every Dingdong team member, the trust of our users, the commitment of our partners, and the support of all investors.”

The Board also congratulates Mr. Wang on his appointment as the new Chief Executive Officer, which follows the Board’s thorough evaluation and deliberation.

Mr. Song Wang has nearly four years of core management experience with the Company. Since joining the Company, he has held various key positions, including Senior Vice President and director of the Company since September 2023, Chief Financial Officer since December 2023, and Chairman of the Dingdong Guyu Business Group (responsible for the Company’s private label products’ development and standardization, quality control and supply chain integration) since May 2025. During January 2024 to December 2024, Mr. Wang had overall responsibility for the Company’s day-to-day operations and successfully led Dingdong to achieve growth in both scale and profitability, demonstrating a deep understanding of the fresh food retail industry and exceptional strategic execution capabilities. He has been deeply involved in the Company’s product development, end-to-end supply chain construction and financial strategic planning, and played a central role in driving significant improvements in key performance indicators.

The Board commented, “Mr. Wang has a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the Company’s business and has demonstrated outstanding leadership in its financial management and business operations. We are confident that he is the ideal leader to steer Dingdong into its next phase of growth.”

Commenting on his appointment, Mr. Wang said: “Dingdong is committed to making quality fresh groceries as accessible as tap water for everyone. Going forward, I will work with the team to continue focusing on building differentiated product strengths, enhancing supply chain capabilities, and upholding our user-centric service philosophy. We will strive to achieve further breakthroughs in ensuring livelihood supply, improving operational efficiency, and exploring sustainable retail models, creating long-term value for consumers, shareholders and partners.”

The Board also approved the resignation of Mr. Song Wang from his position as Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

In addition, the Company also announced that Mr. Xu Jiang, Chief Technology Officer of the Company, has tendered his resignation due to personal reasons, by the end of March 2026. Mr. Jiang’s resignation is not the result of any dispute or disagreement with the Company or the Board of Directors, nor any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices. The responsibilities previously overseen by the CTO role will be redistributed among existing members of the leadership team to ensure seamless continuity of the Company’s technology functions.

Mr. Liang added, “We sincerely appreciate Mr. Jiang’s outstanding leadership and remarkable achievements during his tenure. He led the Company to evolve into a fully digitalized, end-to-end fresh supply chain enterprise, and made tremendous contributions to infrastructure development, operational efficiency, technology architecture evolution, and supply chain restructuring.”

Huawei Exceeds ITU Partner2Connect Pledge Target, Bringing Connectivity to 170 Million People Globally

BARCELONA, Spain, March 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Huawei has provided digital connectivity to 170 million people in remote areas across more than 80 countries, surpassing its pledge to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Partner2Connect (P2C) Digital Coalition.

Yang Chaobin, CEO of Huawei ICT BG announces the fulfillment of ITU P2C Pledge
Yang Chaobin, CEO of Huawei ICT BG announces the fulfillment of ITU P2C Pledge

The announcement was made by Yang Chaobin, CEO of Huawei ICT BG, at the company’s TECH Cares Forum in Barcelona. He noted that this achievement exceeds the commitment Huawei made when joining the ITU P2C Digital Coalition in 2022: to connect 120 million people in remote areas by 2025. Yang extended his gratitude to Huawei’s telecom customers and partners for their collaborative efforts.

The forum brought together around 80 guests from governments, industries, partner organizations, and international bodies. Participants engaged in in-depth discussions on the urgent need to advance digital inclusion in the AI era, exploring practical solutions and building consensus for multi-stakeholder collaboration.

In his opening speech, Yang pointed out that despite rapid AI advancements, the digital divide persists and risks widening further. “High-speed digital networks and robust computing capabilities are essential foundations for an inclusive and sustainable AI era,” he said. The fulfillment of the ITU P2C pledge, he added, reflects Huawei’s ongoing commitment to innovation — bringing remote communities improved access to healthcare, education, and financial services through digital connectivity.

Cosmas Zavazava, Director of the ITU Telecommunication Development Bureau, commended Huawei’s achievements and work to bridge the digital divide. “Connecting the rural and underserved communities requires innovative business models, inclusivity and the effective use of communication resources as well as community engagement, and sustained investment in local capacity. I applaud Huawei’s commitment to universal and meaningful connectivity and I am proud of our strong and successful partnership.”

According to Jeff Wang, President of Huawei Public Affairs and Communications, digital inclusion rests on two pillars: inclusive connectivity and digital skills empowerment. To address the digital skills gap, Huawei partners with governments and organizations to support students, youth, the elderly, and women through three initiatives: expanding digital access, offering digital skills training, and developing STEM curricula.

Since its launch in 2019, Huawei’s Skills on Wheels program has brought mobile digital training to over 130,000 people in 21 countries, opening new opportunities for underserved communities.

Marina Madale, Executive of Sustainability and Shared Value at MTN Group, asserts that connectivity is not a privilege, it is foundational infrastructure for Africa’s growth. In alignment with Jeff Wang, she noted that MTN is prioritizing expanding rural connectivity, driving device affordability and building digital and AI-ready skills.

In rural network innovation, Huawei has continuously upgraded its Rural Series solutions since 2017 to improve affordability and deployment efficiency. Launched in November 2025, Huawei RuralCow extends coverage to villages of around 1,500 residents with the support from MTN Nigeria. These solutions have helped achieve the target of connecting 170 million people while boosting local economies and enabling wider access to digital public services.

During the forum, guests shared progress from their collaboration with Huawei and expressed willingness to deepen cooperation. All participants agreed that advancing digital inclusion in the AI era requires joint efforts from governments, operators, international organizations, and enterprises.

Going forward, Huawei will continue to drive innovation in rural network technologies, deepen open collaboration, and accelerate digital skills empowerment. Through concrete actions, the company will keep contributing to a more equitable and sustainable digital world.
