Organization and nature of operations
Organization and nature of operations	1. Organization and nature of operations (a) Principal activities Smart Share Global Limited (the “Company” or “Smart Share”) was incorporated under the law of Cayman Islands (“Cayman”) as a limited liability company on May 17, 2017. The Company, its subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs (collectively referred to as the “Group”) engage primarily in the mobile device charging business in the People’s Republic of China (“the PRC”). As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s principal subsidiaries and the consolidated VIEs are as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Equity ​ ​ ​ Place of ​ Date of ​ economic ​ Principal Name of subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs ​ incorporation ​ incorporation interest held ​ activities Subsidiaries: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Smart Share International Limited ​ Hong Kong, China ​ August 15,2017 100 % Investment holding Zhixiang Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

(“Shanghai Zhixiang”) ​ PRC ​ April 28,2017 ​ 100 % Research and development function ​ (b) Consolidated variable interest entities Smart Share CGY and Smart Share Brothers In May 2017, Smart Share CGY and Smart Share Brothers were established by one of the Company’s founders, to facilitate the adoption of the Company’s restricted share units (“RSUs”) scheme for the Company’s employees and external consultants. Upon the inception of Smart Share CGY and Smart Share Brothers, the Company entered into the management agreements with Smart Share CGY, Smart Share Brothers and their shareholder. Pursuant to the management agreements, the shareholder of Smart Share CGY and Smart Share Brothers irrevocably appoints the Company or its designated person to exercise the shareholder and director rights in Smart Share CGY and Smart Share Brothers; the shareholder of Smart Share CGY and Smart Share Brothers shall not transfer or pledge his shares in Smart Share CGY and Smart Share Brothers without the consent from the Company; the RSUs scheme of Smart Share CGY and Smart Share Brothers shall be administered by the board of directors of the Company; and all profit and loss of Smart Share CGY and Smart Share Brothers shall be entitled to and assumed by the Company. The management agreements shall be effective until the Company, Smart Share CGY, Smart Share Brothers and their shareholder mutually agree to terminate. Accordingly, the management agreements provide the Company with the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Smart Share CGY and Smart Share Brothers’ economic performance and the obligation to absorb the risks and receive the rewards normally associated with the ownership of Smart Share CGY and Smart Share Brothers. Therefore, management concluded that Smart Share CGY and Smart Share Brothers are consolidated VIEs of the Company, of which the Company is the ultimate primary beneficiary. As such, the Group consolidated the financial statements of Smart Share CGY and Smart Share Brothers upon their inception. In connection with the Company’s adoption of 2021 Share Incentive Plan (Note 13), on April 12, 2021, Smart Share CGY and Smart Share Brothers were dissolved and the aforementioned management agreements were terminated accordingly. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, Smart Share CGY and Smart Share Brothers did not have any operation other than adopting the RSUs scheme. Refer to Note 13(b) “Smart Share CGY and Smart Share Brothers’ RSUs scheme” for details. Shanghai Zhixiang The Company obtained control over Shanghai Zhixiang by entering into a series of contractual arrangements with Shanghai Zhixiang and its shareholders (the “VIE Contractual Arrangements”). Shanghai Zhixiang is used to facilitate the Group’s research and development activities for the Group’s main business, as well as the innovation of certain new business which is under development where foreign ownership may be restricted. The principal terms of the agreements entered into amongst Shanghai Zhixiang, its respective shareholders (the “Nominee Shareholders”) and the Company are further described below: Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement Pursuant to the business cooperation agreement entered between Zhixiang WFOE and Shanghai Zhixiang, Shanghai Zhixiang appointed Zhixiang WFOE as its exclusive service provider providing full business support, technology services and consultancy services, including but not limited to licensing of intellectual property rights, technology support, system maintenance, personnel training, equipment or office leasing and marketing consultancy. In exchange, Shanghai Zhixiang pays consultancy and service fees to Zhixiang WFOE, the price of which is mutually agreed in each quarterly bill according to the amount and commercial value of the services provided to Shanghai Zhixiang. Zhixiang WFOE owns the exclusive intellectual property rights created as a result of the performance of this agreement. The term of this agreement remains valid for a period of 10 years and can be extended at Zhixiang WFOE’s discretion. Zhixiang WFOE may terminate the agreement unilaterally with a 30-day prior written notice. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the consultancy and service fees charged by Zhixiang WFOE were RMB276,578, nil and nil, respectively. Equity Interest Pledge Agreement Pursuant to the equity interest pledge agreement, the Nominee Shareholders have pledged 100% equity interests in Shanghai Zhixiang to Zhixiang WFOE as security for repayment obligations of any and all due payments, including but not limited to the consultancy and service fees due from Shanghai Zhixiang to Zhixiang WFOE under the exclusive business cooperation agreement. During the term of the equity interest pledge agreement, the Nominee Shareholders undertake that, without the prior written consent of Zhixiang WFOE, they will not transfer, or create or allow any encumbrance on the pledged equity interests, except as otherwise provided in the exclusive option agreement. If any of the specified events of default occurs, Zhixiang WFOE will have the right to request repayment of all due and payable payments, and/or transfer, auction or sale of all or part of the pledged equity interests in Shanghai Zhixiang and will have priority in receiving the proceeds from such disposal. Zhixiang WFOE may transfer all or any of its rights and obligations under the exclusive business cooperation agreement to its designee(s) at any time. The term of the agreement is 10 years and shall be extended if the term of the exclusive business cooperation agreement is extended. Since the initial paid-in capital of Shanghai Zhixiang was contributed by the Nominee Shareholders without being financed by the Company and the equity interest pledge agreement did not transfer the legal title of the pledged equity interest to the Company under PRC law, the Nominee Shareholders continue to have legal ownership of the paid-in capital of Shanghai Zhixiang. Accordingly, the initial paid-in capital of Shanghai Zhixiang amounted to RMB1,000 was recorded as other non-current liabilities to the Nominee Shareholders of Shanghai Zhixiang. Exclusive Option Agreement Pursuant to the exclusive option agreement, the Nominee Shareholders have irrevocably granted Zhixiang WFOE, to the extent permitted by PRC law, an irrevocable and exclusive right to purchase, or designate a third-party to purchase, all or any part of their equity interests at any time or from time to time at a purchase price equal to the lowest price permissible by PRC law. The option term remains valid for a period of 10 years and can be extended at Zhixiang WFOE’s discretion. Shanghai Zhixiang and their Nominee Shareholders have agreed that without prior written consent of the Zhixiang WFOE, their respective Nominee Shareholders cannot sell, transfer, pledge or dispose their equity interests, and Shanghai Zhixiang cannot sell, transfer, pledge or dispose, but not limited to, the equity interests and significant businesses. Also as agreed, Shanghai Zhixiang cannot change capitalization structure of Shanghai Zhixiang and cannot enter into any loan or investment agreements. Proxy Agreement Pursuant to the irrevocable proxy agreement, each of the Nominee Shareholders irrevocably authorized Zhixiang WFOE to act on their respective behalf as sole proxy attorney, to the extent permitted by law, to exercise all rights concerning all the equity interest held by each of them in Shanghai Zhixiang, including but not limited to proposing to convene or attend shareholder meetings, attending shareholder meetings, signing resolutions and minutes of such meetings, exercising all the rights as shareholders in such meeting (including but not limited to voting rights, nomination rights and appointment rights), the right to receive dividends and the right to sell, transfer, pledge or dispose of all the equity held in part or in whole, and exercising all other rights as shareholders allowable under PRC law and the memorandum and articles of our company. Exclusive Assets Subscription Agreement Pursuant to the exclusive assets subscription agreement, Shanghai Zhixiang has irrevocably granted Zhixiang WFOE, to the extent permitted by PRC law, an irrevocable and exclusive right to purchase, or designate a third-party to purchase, all the intellectual property rights and all the other assets currently owned or to be owned by Shanghai Zhixiang at any time at a purchase price equal to the lowest price permissible by PRC law. Shanghai Zhixiang further undertakes that, without Zhixiang WFOE’s prior written consent, it will not, among other things, sell, transfer, pledge, or permit others to use or otherwise dispose of such assets. The exclusive asset subscription agreement has a term of 10 years and can be extended at Zhixiang WFOE’s discretion. Spousal Consent Letter Pursuant to the spousal consent letter executed by the spouse of the Nominee Shareholders, the signing spouse unconditionally and irrevocably agreed that the equity interest in Shanghai Zhixiang held by and registered in the name of the Nominee Shareholders be disposed of in accordance with the exclusive option agreement, equity interest pledge agreement, proxy agreement, and other documents described above. The signing spouse agreed not to assert any rights over the equity interest in Shanghai Zhixiang held by the Nominee Shareholders. In addition, in the event that the signing spouse obtains any equity interest in Shanghai Zhixiang held by the Nominee Shareholders for any reason, she agrees to be bound by and sign any legal documents substantially similar to the contractual arrangements described above, as may be amended from time to time. As a result of the VIE Contractual Arrangements, the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Shanghai Zhixiang’s economic performance, bears the risks of and enjoys the rewards normally associated with the ownership of Shanghai Zhixiang. Therefore, management concluded that Shanghai Zhixiang is a consolidated VIE of the Company, of which the Company is the ultimate primary beneficiary. As such, the Group consolidated financial results of Shanghai Zhixiang in the consolidated financial statements. (c) Risks in relations to the VIE structure Under the VIE Contractual Agreements, the Company has the power to direct activities of Shanghai Zhixiang through Zhixiang WFOE, and can have assets transferred freely out of Shanghai Zhixiang without restrictions. Therefore, the Company considers that there is no asset of Shanghai Zhixiang that can only be used to settle obligations of Shanghai Zhixiang, except for the registered capital and reserve funds of Shanghai Zhixiang with the aggregated amount of RMB1,566 as of December 31, 2021 and 2022. Since Shanghai Zhixiang are incorporated as limited liability companies under the PRC Law, creditors of Shanghai Zhixiang do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company. The Company believes that the Zhixiang WFOE’s VIE Contractual Arrangements with Shanghai Zhixiang and the Nominee Shareholders are in compliance with PRC laws and regulations, as applicable, and are legally binding and enforceable. There are, however, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Company’s ability to enforce these contractual arrangements. Accordingly, the Company cannot be assured that the PRC government authorities will not ultimately take a view that is contrary to the Company’s belief and the opinion of its PRC legal counsel. The Nominee Shareholders of Shanghai Zhixiang also own the majority of the voting shares of the Company. The enforceability, and therefore the benefits of the VIE Contractual Agreements between the Company and Shanghai Zhixiang depends on those individuals enforcing the contracts. There is a risk that the benefits of ownership between the Company and Shanghai Zhixiang may not be aligned in the future and they may fail to perform their contractual obligations. There would be a significant negative impact to the Company if these contracts were not enforced. The Group’s operations depend on Shanghai Zhixiang to honor their VIE Contractual Agreements with the Group and the Company’s ability to control Shanghai Zhixiang also depends on the authorization by the Nominee Shareholders of Shanghai Zhixiang to exercise voting rights on all matters requiring shareholder approval in Shanghai Zhixiang. The Company believes that the agreements on authorization to exercise shareholder’s voting power are enforceable against each party thereto in accordance with their terms and applicable PRC laws or regulations currently in effect and the possibility that it will no longer be able to control and consolidate the VIEs as a result of the aforementioned risks and uncertainties is remote. The following table sets forth the assets, liabilities, results of operations and changes in cash and cash equivalents of the consolidated VIEs, including Shanghai Zhixiang and the other VIE that had no significant operations, nor any material assets or liabilities, which were included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements with intercompany transactions eliminated: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ As of December 31, ​ ​ 2021 ​ 2022 ​ RMB RMB Cash and cash equivalents 606 90 Accounts receivable, net 1,470 — Prepayments and other current assets 1,317 4,473 Amounts due from non-VIE subsidiaries of the Company 603,009 591,174 Total current assets ​ 606,402 ​ 595,737 Other non-current assets 22 6 Total non-current assets ​ 22 ​ 6 Total assets 606,424 595,743 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Salary and welfare payable 1,745 2,376 Tax payable 7,548 7,442 Amounts due to non-VIE subsidiaries of the Company 445,029 442,819 Accruals and other current liabilities 1,240 544 Total current liabilities ​ 455,562 ​ 453,181 Total liabilities 455,562 453,181 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total shareholders’ equity ​ 150,862 ​ 142,562 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended December 31, ​ ​ 2020 ​ 2021 ​ 2022 ​ RMB RMB ​ RMB Third party revenues ​ 9,413 ​ 16,386 11 Inter-company service charge (a) 406,730 ​ 103,948 2,554 Third-party costs and expenses (101,895) ​ (66,477) (10,015) Inter-company costs and expenses (276,578) ​ — — Other operating loss ​ (357) ​ (11,359) ​ (1,566) Income from non-operations ​ — ​ — ​ 8 Income/(loss) before income tax expense ​ 37,313 ​ 42,498 ​ (9,008) Less: Income tax expense ​ — ​ (3,914) ​ — Net income/(loss) 37,313 ​ 38,584 (9,008) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended December 31, ​ 2020 2021 2022 ​ ​ RMB ​ RMB ​ RMB Intercompany payments from service charge ​ (37,271) ​ (18,255) ​ (6,500) Intercompany receipts from service charge ​ 124,193 ​ 88,000 ​ 14,600 Operating activities with external parties ​ (85,138) ​ (73,720) ​ (8,616) Net cash generated from/(used in) operating activities 1,784 ​ (3,975) (516) Net increase/(decrease) in cash and cash equivalents 1,784 ​ (3,975) (516) ​ For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, there was no cash generated from or used in investing and financing activities of the consolidated VIEs. ​ Note (a) — For the periods presented, Shanghai Zhixiang was used primarily to facilitate the Group’s internal research and development functions with no material external operations. In consideration for its service, Zhixiang WFOE pays service fees to Shanghai Zhixiang. The service fees are determined by Zhixiang WFOE based on the nature and cost of the research and development activities of Shanghai Zhixiang, which is adjusted and evaluated on periodical basis.

Summary of principal accounting

Summary of principal accounting policies
Summary of principal accounting policies	2. Summary of principal accounting policies (a) Basis of presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for the periods presented. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. (b) Consolidation The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and the consolidated VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. A subsidiary is an entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power, has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors, to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee under a statute or agreement among the shareholders or equity holders. A consolidated VIE is an entity in which the Company, or its subsidiaries, through contractual arrangements, bears the risks of, and enjoys the rewards normally associated with, ownership of the entity, and therefore the Company or its subsidiaries are the primary beneficiary of the entity. All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries and the consolidated VIEs have been eliminated upon consolidation. (c) Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, measurement and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Group’s management reviews these estimates based on information that is currently available. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Group to revise its estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s consolidated financial statements include, allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of property, equipment and software, impairment of long-lived assets, inventory write-downs, impairment of prepayments to location partners, internal rate of return associated with the finance lease, valuation and recognition of share-based compensation arrangements, convertible redeemable preferred shares and warrant liabilities, capitalized software development cost, valuation allowance of deferred tax assets. (d) Functional currency and foreign currency translation An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates, normally that is the currency of the environment in which it primarily generates and expends cash and is determined by various indicators, including but not limited to cash flow, sales price, sales market, expenses, financing and intercompany transactions and arrangements. The functional currency of the Company, its consolidated VIEs in BVI and subsidiary in Hong Kong is the United States dollar (US$). The Company’s subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs in PRC use Renminbi (“RMB”) as their functional currency. The determination of the respective functional currency is based on the criteria of ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. Transactions denominated in currencies other than functional currencies are translated into functional currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China (the “PBOC”) prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in net income. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currencies using the applicable exchange rates quoted by the PBOC at the balance sheet dates. All such exchange gains and losses are included in net income. The reporting currency of the Group is RMB. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date, equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the period. Translation adjustments are reported as accumulated comprehensive income/(loss) and are shown as a separate component of other comprehensive income/(loss) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss). (e) Fair value measurements The Group defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The established fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value include: Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Group’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, notes receivable, prepayments and other current assets, lease liabilities, accounts and notes payable, amounts due to related parties, financing payable and accruals and other current liabilities. Except for short-term investments and derivative liabilities which are measured at fair value, the carrying values of the other financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Certain short-term investments in financial products and securities and derivative instruments classified within Level 2 are valued using directly or indirectly observable inputs in the marketplace. The Group’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair Value Measurement Using Significant ​ ​ Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) ​ ​ As of December 31, ​ ​ 2021 ​ 2022 ​ RMB RMB Short-term investments ​ 1,418,721 ​ 2,091,198 Derivative liabilities — (2,592) ​ Refer to Note 12 for roll forward of level 3 financial instruments and key assumptions used by the Group in estimating the fair value of warrant liabilities. (f) Convenience translation Translations of the consolidated balance sheets, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss) and the consolidated statements of cash flows from RMB into US$ as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 are solely for the convenience of the readers and were calculated at the rate of US$1.00=RMB6.8972, representing the certificated exchange rate published by the Federal Reserve Board as of December 30, 2022. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into US$ at that rate on December 30, 2022, or at any other rate. (g) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits placed with banks and third-party payment processors, which are unrestricted from withdrawal or use, that have original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. (h) Restricted cash Cash that is restricted from withdrawal for use or pledged as security is reported separately on the face of the consolidated balance sheets. The Group’s restricted cash mainly represents the deposits held in designated bank accounts for issuance of bank acceptance notes and letter of guarantee. The Group adopted ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash (Topic 230) Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows are presented separately on consolidated balance sheets as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ As of December 31, ​ ​ 2021 ​ 2022 ​ RMB RMB Cash and cash equivalents 1,296,924 948,773 Restricted cash 19,671 14,608 Long-term restricted cash ​ 20,000 ​ 21,000 Total 1,336,595 984,381 ​ (i) Short-term investments Short-term investments are comprised of investments in financial products issued by banks or other financial institutions, which contain a fixed or variable interest rate and with original maturities between one month and one year. Such investments are generally not permitted to be redeemed prior to the maturity or are subject to penalties for redemption prior to maturity. These investments are stated at fair value. Changes in the fair value are reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss). (j) Derivative instruments Derivative instruments are carried at fair value. The fair values of the derivative financial instruments generally represent the estimated amounts expect to receive or pay upon termination of the contracts as of the reporting date. The Group’s derivative instruments primarily consisted of foreign currency forward contracts which are used to economically hedge certain foreign denominated liabilities and reduce, to the extent practicable, the potential exposure to the changes that exchange rates might have on the Group’s earnings, cash flows and financial position. As the derivative instruments of foreign currency forward contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, changes in the fair value are reflected in interest and investment income of the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss). As of December 31, 2021, and 2022, and for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the balance of the derivative instruments and the total amount of fair value changes are not material. (k) Accounts receivable, net The Group’s accounts receivable mainly consist of amounts due from the customers less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Group reviews accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. The Group determines the allowance for doubtful accounts on general basis taking into consideration various factors including but not limited to historical collection experience and credit worthiness of the customers as well as the age of the individual receivables balance. The facts and circumstances of each account may require the Group to use substantial judgment in assessing its collectability. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the Group recognized a provision for doubtful accounts of RMB5,302, RMB3,206 and RMB3,435, respectively. The following table summarized the details of the Group’s allowance for doubtful accounts: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ As of December 31, ​ ​ 2020 ​ 2021 ​ 2022 ​ RMB RMB RMB Balance at the beginning of year 5,025 ​ 3,268 5,986 Provision for doubtful accounts 5,302 ​ 3,206 3,435 Write-offs (7,059) ​ (488) (4,335) Balance at the end of year 3,268 ​ 5,986 5,086 ​ (l) Inventories Inventories, consisting of products for sale, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost of inventory is determined using the weighted average cost method. Adjustments are recorded to write down the cost of inventory to the estimated net realizable value due to slow-moving merchandises and damaged goods, which is dependent upon factors such as historical and forecasted consumer demand, and promotional environment. The Company takes ownership, risks and rewards of the products purchased. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the Group recognized cost of revenue in connection with write-down of inventory with the amount of nil, nil and RMB9,273 respectively. (m) Property, equipment and software, net ​ ​ ​ ​ Cabinets 4 to 5 years Power banks 3 years Computer and electronic equipment 3 years Production tools 5 years Software 10 years Others 3 Leasehold improvements Shorter of the estimated useful lives or the lease term ​ Property, equipment and software are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation/amortization and impairment. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives. The Group purchases certain raw materials and components directly from suppliers and outsources the manufacturing to the assembly partners. Raw materials, components and all other direct costs that are related to the production of power banks and cabinets under construction and incurred in connection with bringing the assets to their intended use are capitalized as construction in progress. Construction in progress is transferred to power banks and cabinets and depreciation commences when the asset is ready for its intended use. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Gain or loss on the disposal of property, equipment and software is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss). The Group’s power banks can be used either for rental in relation to the mobile device charging business or for sale, at the discretion of the users. The Group initially records the power bank as property and equipment based on the usage pattern of its users who primarily opt to rent the power banks. When the users elect to purchase power banks, the pertinent power banks are reclassified to the inventory at the net carrying value and are recognized as cost of revenues upon the transfer of power banks to users. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, all power banks that were elected for purchase by the users had been transferred to the users. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the Group recognized cost of revenue in connection with the power bank sales with the amount of RMB31,856, RMB27,956 and RMB12,465, respectively. (n) Capitalized Software Development Cost The Group capitalizes the direct development costs associated with internal-used software in accordance with ASC 350-40, “Internal-use software”, which requires the capitalization of costs relating to certain activities of developing internal-use software that occur during the application development stage. Costs capitalized mainly include payroll and payroll-related costs for employees incurred during the application development stage of the internal-use software projects. Capitalized internal-use software costs are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and the amount is included in “property and equipment, net” on the consolidated balance sheets, with an estimated useful life of three years. Software development cost capitalized amounted to nil, RMB7,922 and RMB5,677 for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively. The amortization expense for capitalized software costs amounted to nil, RMB1,280 and RMB3,679 for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, the carrying amount of capitalized internal use software development costs was RMB6,642 and RMB8,640, respectively. (o) Impairment of long-lived assets Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of any impairment loss for long-lived assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the amount the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. When impairment is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of the underlying fixed assets becomes their carrying value. The new cost basis is depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the assets. Impairment charge recognized in cost of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 was nil, nil and RMB21,560, respectively. (p) Revenue recognition The Group’s revenues are primarily derived from (i) mobile device charging business, (ii) power bank sales, and (iii) others. Revenue recognition policies for each type of revenue stream are as follows: Mobile device charging business The Group deploys its equipment, including cabinets with power banks, in highly frequented points of interest, such as entertainment venues, restaurants, shopping centers, hotels, transportation hubs and public spaces, etc., which are operated by its location partners. Individual customers can scan the QR code on the cabinets with their mobile devices to place an order to use a power bank. A deposit is generally required for each order placed by the users except for users who have qualified credit scores at WeChat or Alipay. The deposit is refunded to users when they return the power banks. The Group records the deposit in accruals and other current liabilities. As provided in the customer agreement, if the power banks are not returned by the users after a certain period of time, the deposit will be kept by the Group to settle their usage of the power banks. The Group recognizes such deposit as revenue from the mobile device charging business. The Group earns its revenue from the mobile device charging business from the rental fees it receives from the customers, which are a function of the hourly rate determined by the Group and the period of time for which the customers use the power banks. The Group collects fees directly from its customers through third party payment processors, such as WeChat and Alipay, generally upon the return of the power bank. As individual customers have the right to use a specific power bank for a period of time to charge their mobile devices, the arrangements with the individual customers constitute a lease and the revenue for the mobile device charging business is recognized under ASC 842, “Leases” (“ASC 842”) since the adoption of ASC 842 by the Group on January 1, 2022, and under ASC 840, “Leases” (“ASC 840”) during the periods prior to January 1, 2022. The revenue generated from the mobile device charging business is recognized as contingent rental revenue which is accrued during the rental period of the power banks. The mobile device charging business is operated under a direct model or a network partner model as follows: ● Under the direct model, the Group identifies and negotiates with location partners directly and pays location partners commissions based on a certain percentage of the revenue the Group generates from the equipment placed in location partners’ venues. In some cases, the Company pays the location partners entry fees or prepaid commissions for placement of the Group’s equipment. The amortization of entry fees and commissions paid to the location partners are presented as sales and marketing expenses; and ● Under the network partner model, the Group collaborates with network partners by leveraging their local business network to expand its business. The network partners are engaged to identify the points of interest and negotiate with the location partners for deployment of the equipment. The Group is obligated to pay commissions to network partners based on a certain percentage of the revenue the Group generates from the equipment placed by the network partners. The commissions paid to location partners or network partners are presented as sales and marketing expenses. Transaction with network partners - sales of the cabinets Under the network partner model, the Group sells the cabinets to majority of network partners, but retains all the output derived from the cabinets, whose only potential use is to store, charge, and process the Group’s proprietary power banks, for an indefinite period. The Group has determined that this right of use should be accounted for as an embedded lease for the estimated useful life of the cabinets. Since the embedded lease of the cabinets would be classified as a capital lease under ASC 840 and as a finance lease under ASC 842, the Group accounts for the proceeds from the network partners as a financing transaction rather than as a sale of the cabinets. Therefore, the cabinets continue to be recognized as the Group’s equipment and are depreciated over their useful lives (Note 5). The cash received from the network partners for the cabinets is initially recognized as financial liabilities and the liability is subsequently accreted over the estimated beneficial period of the cabinets based on the estimated effective rate of return implicit in the lease, with interest expense being recognized. The effective interest rate is estimated based on the projected variable lease repayment amounts that have been bifurcated from the estimated commissions to be paid to the network partners during the useful life of the cabinets based on their relative standalone selling prices. The financial liabilities are settled when payments are made to the network partners. The financial liabilities that are expected to be settled over one year from the balance sheet date are presented as long-term liabilities. The Group regularly evaluates the effective interest rate against the actual lease repayments and prospectively adjusts the effective interest rate as necessary. For the periods presented, there was no material change in the effective interest rate. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the weighted average effective interest rate was 23%, 24% and 21%, respectively. The roll forward of the aggregated financing payables for both current and non-current are as below: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended December 31, ​ ​ 2020 ​ 2021 ​ 2022 ​ RMB RMB RMB Balance at the beginning of year 142,156 ​ 244,151 169,833 Addition 115,387 ​ 3,445 1,758 Accretion of interest 32,097 ​ 37,806 31,196 Repayment (45,489) ​ (115,569) (69,738) Derecognition (*) ​ — ​ — ​ (24,496) Balance at the end of year 244,151 ​ 169,833 108,553 *For the year ended December 31, 2022, with the termination of the arrangement with certain network partners, the Group is no longer considered to retain the right of use of the cabinets sold to these network partners and the financing transaction is ceased accordingly. Therefore, the Group derecognized the carrying values of the related equipment and the financing payables of RMB 6,959 and RMB 24,496 , respectively, with the net gains of RMB 17,537 recorded in other operating income as the debt extinguishment gain. Transaction with network partners – upfront fee Since 2021, the Group entered into network partners agreements with certain network partners under which, instead of purchasing the cabinets from the Group, the network partners agree to pay a pre-agreed fixed upfront fee to the Group to become its network partners. During the contractual period, the network partners are entitled to the commission from the Group based on a certain percentage of the revenue the Group generates from the equipment placed by the network partners. The upfront fee is recorded as liability when collected and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated beneficial period as the deduction of the commission to the to the network partners. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, the upfront fees agreed under such arrangements were RMB 158,176 and RMB 433,404 , respectively, among which RMB 14,586 and RMB 73,554 was amortized as the reduction to the sales and marketing expenses, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2022, with the business winding-ups of certain network partners under the upfront fee arrangements, the Group derecognized carrying values of the related equipment previously provided to these network partners and the outstanding upfront fee payable of RMB2,785 and RMB6,917, respectively, with the net gains of RMB4,132 recorded in other operating income. Power bank sales The Group generates revenues from sales of power banks if the customers purchase power banks. Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”) when a purchase order is confirmed and the power banks are released to the customers, which is when the control of products is transferred. Other revenues Other revenues primarily comprise of revenues generated from advertising services and sales of merchandises. The Group provides advertising services to customers by displaying advertisement on the Group’s mobile applications in WeChat or Alipay. Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 606 over the period when the advertising is displayed. The Group considers several factors in determining whether it is appropriate to record the revenues at the gross amount of fees charged, or those amounts net of commissions paid. The Group sells certain merchandises through online platform. The Group recognizes revenue net of discounts and return allowance when the merchandises are delivered and control passes to the customers. Generally, revenues are recorded at the gross sales price because the Group controls the specified goods or services, and is the primary obligor in a transaction, is subject to substantial inventory risk, and has latitude in establishing prices. The Group’s revenues are recognized after deducting estimated price concessions, discounts, and value added tax (“VAT”). (q) Cost of revenues Cost of revenues consists primarily of shipping and handling expenses, employee wages, bonus and benefits of supply chain departments, rental expenses, depreciation of power banks and cabinets, cost of power banks sold or lost, cost of merchandises sold and other expenses directly attributable to the Group’s principal operations. (r) Research and development expenses Research and product development expenses include employee wages and other compensation-related expenses for the Group’s research and product development personnel, as well as office rental, depreciation and related expenses and travel-related expenses for the Group’s research and product development team. The Group recognizes software development costs in accordance with ASC 350-40 “Software-internal use software”. The Group expenses all costs that are incurred in connection with the planning and implementation phases of development, and costs that are associated with maintenance of the existing websites or software for internal use. Certain costs associated with developing internal-use software are capitalized when such costs are incurred within the application development stage of software development (Note 2(n)). (s) Sales and marketing expenses Sales and marketing expenses comprise primarily of the amortization of entry fees paid to location partners and commissions to the location partners and network partners which are all primarily for purchase of user traffic, advertising expenses, third-party platforms commission fee, employee wages and benefits for sales and marketing staff, depreciation expenses, rental expenses and other daily expenses which are related to the sales and marketing functions. Entry fees paid to location partners are amortized on straight line basis over the contractual period with location partners during which the Group’s equipment is placed in location partners’ venues, ranging from 1 year to 6 years, and the weighted average term is around 1.9 years, 2.0 years and 2.3 years for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022. Entry fee is accrued based on actual period of cabinet placement if payment is yet to be made. Commissions to the location partners and network partners are expensed in line with the recognition of rental income from users. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the aggregated commissions to the location partners and network partners and amortization of the entry fees to the location partners amounted to RMB1,576,565, RMB2,112,774 and RMB2,069,102, respectively. Advertising expenses primarily consist of promotion and advertising expenses. The Group expenses all advertising expenses as incurred and classifies these expenses under sales and marketing expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, advertising expenses were RMB6,752, RMB14,988 and RMB10,684, respectively. (t) General and administrative expenses General and administrative expenses consist of employee wages and benefits for corporate employees, other expenses which are related to the general corporate functions, including accounting, finance, tax, legal and human resources, and costs associated with the use of facilities and equipment by these functions, such as depreciation expenses, rental and other general corporate related expenses. (u) Employee benefits The Company’s subsidiaries and the consolidated VIE in China participate in a government mandated, multi-employer, defined contribution plan, pursuant to which certain retirement, medical, housing and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. Chinese labor laws require the entities incorporated in China to pay to the local labor bureau a monthly contribution at a stated contribution rate based on the monthly basic compensation of qualified employees. The Group has no further commitments beyond its monthly contribution. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, employee social benefits included as expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss) amounted to RMB53,266, RMB140,259 and RMB151,499, respectively. The Group has not made contribution in full to the labor bureau for some of the employees based on relevant PRC regulation. The Group has made provision for the underpayment of social benefits according to the relevant PRC regulation. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, the accrued and unpaid employee social benefits were RMB31,384 and RMB58,478, respectively. (v) Government grants The Group’s PRC based subsidiaries received government subsidies from certain local governments. The Group’s government subsidies are mainly VAT refund and other government subsidies that the local government has not specified its purpose for and are not tied to future trends or performance of the Group; receipt of such subsidy income is not contingent upon any further actions or performance of the Group and the amounts do not have to be refunded under any circumstances. VAT refund and other government subsidies are recognized as other operating income upon receipt as further performance by the Group is not required. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, government subsidies were RMB24,790, RMB29,956 and RMB17,636, respectively. (w) Share-based compensation The Company follows ASC 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation” to determine whether share-based awards should be classified and accounted for as a liability award or equity award. The Company granted restricted shares, RSUs and share options to the Company’s founders, employees and external consultants, which are classified as equity awards and recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their grant date fair values. Share-based compensation awards are measured at the grant date fair value of the awards and recognized as expenses a) immediately at grant date if no vesting conditions are required; or b) for awards granted with only service conditions, using the straight-line vesting method, over the vesting period. Share-based compensation in relation to the restricted shares and RSUs is measured based on the fair market value of the Group’s ordinary shares at the grant date of the award. Prior to the listing, estimation of the fair value of the Group’s ordinary shares involves significant assumptions that might not be observable in the market, and a number of com

Certain risks and concentration
Certain risks and concentration	4. Certain risks and concentration (a) Credit and concentration risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, short-term investment, amounts due from related parties and prepayments and other current assets. The maximum exposures of such assets to credit risk are their carrying amounts as of the balance sheets dates. The Group expects that there is no significant credit risk associated with the cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments which are held by reputable financial institutions in the jurisdictions where the Company, its subsidiaries and VIEs are located. The Group believes that it is not exposed to unusual risks as these financial institutions have high credit quality. Accounts receivables are typically unsecured and are primarily derived from revenue earned from mobile device charging provided for individuals and advertising services provided to customers. The following table summarized customers with greater than 10% of the account receivables: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ As of December 31, ​ 2021 2022 Customer A ​ 17 % 11 % Customer B ​ * ​ 21 % Customer C * ​ 12 % * Less than 10% ZMI (Hong Kong) International Company Limited (“ZMI”), a related party of the Group (Note 15), accounted for 40% and 4% (b) Foreign currency risk For Group’s PRC entities, the operating transactions and its assets and liabilities are mainly denominated in RMB. RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. The value of RMB is subject to changes influenced by central government policies, and international economic and political developments. In the PRC, certain foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions at exchange rates set by the PBOC. Remittances in currencies other than RMB by the Group in China must be processed through the PBOC or other China foreign exchange regulatory bodies which require certain supporting documentation in order to affect the remittance. (c) Foreign currency exchange rate risk The Group is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk, which mainly affects the monetary assets denominated in the currencies other than the functional currencies of the respective entities. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, such affected monetary assets primarily included cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash denominated in US$. Since July 21, 2005, the RMB has been permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. While the international reaction to the RMB appreciation has generally been positive, there remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant appreciation of the RMB against other currencies. (d) Impact of COVID-19 Since 2020, in response to the outbreak of the novel strain of the coronavirus, COVID-19 (the “COVID-19 pandemic”), as well as its new variants, Chinese government has implemented, and continues to implement, a variety of restricted measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. These measures have had adverse effect on the Group’s consumer behaviors, ability to expand points of interest coverage, workforce and operations. These COVID-19 outbreaks were generally followed by a significant drop in offline foot traffic as people were more likely to stay at home and the Group’s location partners were required to temporarily shut down due to measures implemented by the government, which negatively impacted the Group’s points of interest coverage and financial performance. Starting in December 2022, most of the travel restrictions and quarantine requirements in China were lifted. Even though there have been improvements in the economic and operating conditions for the Group’s business since the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group cannot predict the long-term effects of the pandemic on its business at this time.

As discussed in Note 2(s), entry fees paid to location partners are amortized on straight line basis over the contractual period with location partners during which the Group’s equipment is placed in location partners’ venues. In addition, since 2021, when entering into the location partner agreements, the Group agreed to prepay commissions to certain location partners. The amount of the prepayment is based on the pre-agreed forecast of commissions to the location partners during the contractual period. The prepayment is used to offset the actual commissions to be paid to the local partners on monthly basis based on the pre-agreed monthly forecast of commissions. The location partners are obligated to refund to the Group any remaining prepayments if performance target is not met within a pre-agreed period. The Group is closely monitoring the recoverability of these prepayments to location partners based on the actual performance of each of the location partners. For the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2022, the Group recognized nil and RMB56,385 impairments for the prepaid commissions to the location partners whose businesses were wound up in 2022 as a result of the surge of COVID-19 infections in certain regions. (b) It represents the prepayment made to third-party payment processing providers are engaged by Group to facilitate its settlement with network partners and location partners for the commission fees. Depends on the settlement arrangement with different payment processing providers, after the prepayment is made by the Group, the commissions can be drawn down by network partners at their discretions or settled by payment processing providers on a pre-agreed settlement period. Upon settlement, the prepayment made to the payment processing providers and commission payables to network partners and location partners (Note 9) are derecognized accordingly. As of December 31, 2022, both the amounts of the prepayment made to the payment processing providers and commission payables increased as result of the lengthened settlement period agreed with the payment processing provider.

According to the new EIT Law and relevant regulations, from the year of 2019, Shanghai Zhixiang could enjoy a tax holiday of 2-year The EIT Law also provides that an enterprise established under the laws of a foreign country or region but whose “de facto management body” is located in the PRC be treated as a resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes and consequently be subject to the PRC income tax at the rate of 25% for its global income. The Implementing Rules of the EIT Law merely define the location of the “de facto management body” as “the place where the exercising, in substance, of the overall management and control of the production and business operation, personnel, accounting, properties, etc., of a non-PRC company is located.” Based on a review of surrounding facts and circumstances, the Group does not believe that it is likely that its entities registered outside of the PRC should be considered as resident enterprises for the PRC tax purposes. The EIT Law also imposes a withholding income tax of 10% on dividends distributed by a FIE to its immediate holding company outside of China, if such immediate holding company is considered as a non-resident enterprise without any establishment or place within China or if the received dividends have no connection with the establishment or place of such immediate holding company within China, unless such immediate holding company’s jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement. The Cayman Islands, where the Company is incorporated, does not have such tax treaty with China. According to the arrangement between the mainland China and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Prevention of Fiscal Evasion issued in August 2006, dividends paid by an FIE in China to its immediate holding company in Hong Kong will be subject to withholding tax at a rate of no more than 5% (if the immediate holding company in Hong Kong is the beneficial owner of the FIE and owns directly at least 25% of the shares of the FIE). In accordance with accounting guidance, all undistributed earnings are presumed to be transferred to the parent company and withholding taxes should be accrued accordingly. All FIEs are subject to the withholding tax from January 1, 2008. The presumption may be overcome if the Group has sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the undistributed dividends from its PRC subsidiaries will be re-invested and the remittance of the dividends from its PRC subsidiaries will be postponed indefinitely. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, the aggregated amount of undistributed earnings and reserves of the Group entities located in the PRC that are available for distribution to the Company were RMB127,713 and RMB72,966, respectively. In accordance with the EIT Law, a withholding tax of 10%, or 5% subject to approval of Chinese tax authorities, will be imposed on the dividends when distributed to their immediate holding company outside of Mainland China. The Group plans to indefinitely reinvested undistributed earnings earned from its PRC subsidiaries in its operations in PRC. Therefore, no withholding income tax for undistributed earnings of its subsidiaries were provided as of December 31, 2021 and 2022.

As of December 31, 2022, the Group had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately RMB405,191 which mainly arose from the subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs established in the PRC. The loss carries forwards from PRC entities will expire during the calendar year from 2025 to 2032. The net operating loss of the Group will start to expire if not utilized. Other than the expiration, there are no other limitations or restrictions upon Group’s ability to use these operating losses carry forwards. As of December 31, 2022, net operating loss carry forwards from PRC entities will expire as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ At December 31, RMB 2025 637 2026 ​ 237,664 2027 ​ 131,203 2031 ​ 17,408 2032 18,279 ​ 405,191 ​ Movement of valuation allowance ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended ​ ​ December 31, ​ ​ 2020 ​ 2021 ​ 2022 ​ RMB RMB RMB Balance at the beginning of the year 474 ​ 621 47,430 Additions 147 ​ 46,809 25,353 Balance at the end of the year 621 ​ 47,430 72,783 ​ As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, valuation allowances of RMB47,430 and RMB72,783 were provided because it was more likely than not that certain entities within the Group will not be able to utilize certain tax losses carry forwards and other deferred tax assets generated. If events occur in the future that allow these entities to realize more of its deferred tax assets than the presently recorded amount, an adjustment to the valuation allowances will increase income when those events occur. The Group evaluates the level of authority for each uncertain tax position (including the potential application of interest and penalties) based on the technical merits, and measures the unrecognized benefits associated with the tax positions. The evaluation involves considerable judgement and is based on the best information available. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Group identified the uncertain tax position related to certain commission expenses and recognized RMB176,880 tax liability in other non-current liabilities, which is based on the best estimate of the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized. Included within the unrecognized tax benefit is the tax benefit of RMB209,078 that, if recognized, would impact the Group’s effective tax rate. It is possible that the estimate and ultimate settlement of this uncertain tax position may be further change based on further interactions with tax authorities. The material jurisdiction in which the Group is subject to potential examination is the Chinese mainland. In general, the tax authorities in the Chinese mainland have three years, and in special cases up to five years, to conduct examinations of the tax filings of the Group’s PRC subsidiaries.

In April 2021, all classes of Preferred Shares of the Company were converted to Class A ordinary shares immediately prior to the completion of the IPO (Note 3). Accounting and measurement for preferred shares The Company classifies the Preferred Shares in mezzanine equity of the consolidated balance sheets because they are redeemable at the holders’ option any time upon the occurrence of certain events outside of the Company’s control. The Preferred Shares are recorded initially at fair value, net of issuance costs. For each reporting period, the Company accretes the carrying amount of the Preferred Shares to the redemption value, which is the higher of (1) the result of using effective interest rate method to accrete the Preferred Shares to the redemption prices on the Optional Redemption Date, or (2) the fair market value of the Preferred Shares on the reporting date. The accretion is recorded against retained earnings, or in the absence of retained earnings, by charges against additional paid-in-capital, or in the absence of additional paid-in-capital, by charges to accumulated deficit until the Preferred Shares were converted. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the accretion of the Preferred Shares was RMB3,206,324, RMB4,729,719 and nil, respectively. The Company has determined that host contract of the Preferred Shares is more akin to an equity host, given the Preferred Shares holders have participating right in the Company like that of the ordinary shareholders, along with other equity-like features in the terms of the Preferred Shares, including the conversion and dividend rights. The Company has assessed each embedded feature in the Preferred Shares, and determined that the conversion and dividend feature to be clearly and closely related to the equity host, and none of these embedded features needs to be bifurcated from the equity host. The Company also assessed the liquidation feature and determined that the debt-like feature does not meet the net settlement and would not result in bifurcation. The Company has determined that there were no beneficial conversion features identified for any of the Preferred Shares because the effective conversion price was greater than the fair value of the ordinary shares. To the extent a conversion price adjustment occurs, as described above, the Company will re-evaluate whether or not a beneficial conversion feature should be recognized. The Company’s Preferred Shares activities for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 are summarized below: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Series Seed Convertible ​ Series A

Accounting for warrant The Company classified the warrant as financial liabilities under ASC 480 as the warrants conditionally obligated the Company to ultimately transfer assets. For the warrant issued in connection with the Series A-1 Preferred Shares, the proceeds were allocated first to the warrant based on its fair value and the residual was allocated to the Series A-1 Preferred Shares. For the warrant issued in connection with the loan, the warrant was recorded at its fair value when the loan was obtained with a corresponding reduction to the carrying amount of the loan as the debt issuance cost and was amortized on a straight-line basis over the loan period. The warrants were subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss). The Company recognized a loss of RMB7,442 from the change in fair value of the warrant liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2020.

The Group makes an entity-wide accounting policy election to account for forfeitures when they occur. (a) Restricted shares As disclosed in Note 10, on July 25, 2017, all 81,000,000 ordinary shares of the Company issued to Smart Share Holding were designated as restricted shares of the Company granted to the founders who are the owners of Smart Share Holding, in consideration for their continuous service to the Company as employees. Each founder was ascribed a particular number of the Company’s ordinary shares based on that founder’s ownership of Smart Share Holding. The restricted shares shall be legally vested and released in equal 25% instalments over the four-year period from July 25, 2017 on each anniversary. Upon Qualified Public Offering, all the unvested restricted shares shall be vested immediately. Upon vesting, a founder is entitled to receive from Smart Share Holding any dividends received on their attributed portion of Company shares held by Smart Share Holding, and direct Smart Share Holding to dispose of their attributed portion of Company shares and receive the sale proceeds. Upon termination of employment with the Company, any unvested shares attributed to a founder can be repurchased by the Company for par value, and the founder would lose their economic rights associated with those shares. Accordingly, as the overall substance of the arrangement is a grant of share-based awards to founders, the Company has recorded share-based compensation expense on these awards. The following table summarizes the Group’s restricted shares activities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Numbers of shares ​ Weighted-average grant date fair value ​ ​ US$ Unvested at December 31, 2019 40,500,000 0.0889 Vested (20,250,000) 0.0889 Unvested at December 31, 2020 20,250,000 0.0889 Vested (20,250,000) 0.0889 Unvested at December 31, 2021 and 2022 — — ​ Share-based compensation expense for the restricted shares was measured using the estimated fair value of the Company’s ordinary shares of US$0.0889 at the grant date and is amortized to the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss) on a straight-line basis over the vesting term. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the total fair value of restricted shares vested were RMB12,415, RMB6,607 and nil, respectively. Upon the completion of IPO, the 20,250,000 of unvested restricted shares owned by the founders of the Group were vested immediately according to the IPO vesting condition. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, there was not any unrecognized shared-based compensation expense related to restricted shares. (b) Smart Share CGY and Smart Share Brothers’ RSUs scheme (“RSUs scheme”) As disclosed in Note 11, Smart Share CGY and Smart Share Brothers are solely owned by the founder of the Company and are the consolidated VIEs of the Company. Both Smart Share CGY and Smart Share Brothers were established to facilitate the adoption of an RSUs scheme on behalf of the Company. The RSUs scheme is administered by the board of directors of the Company and RSUs were granted to the Company’s employees and external consultants. All the ordinary shares of Smart Share CGY and Smart Share Brothers are authorized and issued to the founder to facilitate the adoption of the RSUs scheme. The number of authorized and issued shares of Smart Share CGY and Smart Share Brothers were 44,841,250 and 2,000,000, respectively, which mirrored the number of the Company’s ordinary shares issued and Upon vesting, the Company’s employees and external consultants are entitled to the ordinary shares of Smart Share CGY or Smart Share Brothers, and the Company directs the founder to deliver such shares. Holders of vested shares of Smart Share CGY or Smart Share Brothers are entitled to the economics of the vested shares, including dividends and sale proceeds of these shares. Any proceeds received by Smart Share CGY or Smart Share Brothers on Company shares that have not been allocated to employees and external consultants are required to be returned to the Company. The RSUs granted by Smart Share CGY vest in the four-year period from the grant date, with 25% of the RSUs to be vested upon each anniversary. The RSUs granted by Smart Share Brothers are fully vested on the grant date. If an employee or external consultant terminates service to the Group, unvested shares of Smart Share CGY and Smart Share Brothers can be repurchased for nominal amounts. The Group has the right to repurchase vested shares of Smart Share CGY and Smart Share Brothers at a price based on recent transaction prices involving the Company’s stock. The ordinary shares of the Company held by Smart Share CGY and Smart Share Brothers are unchanged as a result of these transactions. In January 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved the modification of Smart Share CGY and Smart Share Brothers’ RSUs scheme to allow the grantees to directly hold the ordinary shares or RSUs of the Company, under which each vested RSU of Smart Share CGY and Smart Share Brothers’ RSUs scheme was exchanged for one ordinary share of the Company with an equivalent economic value, and each outstanding unvested RSU under the Smart Share CGY’s RSUs scheme was exchanged for one RSU of the Company with an equivalent economic value. The modification did not change the vesting conditions and the remaining vesting period. There was no incremental share-based compensation cost recorded in connection with this modification. The following table summarizes the Group’s RSUs activities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ RSUs Weighted Average ​ ​ Outstanding ​ Grant Date Fair Value ​ ​ ​ ​ US$ Unvested at December 31, 2019 ​ 20,798,863 ​ 0.3119 Granted 7,775,835 ​ 0.9203 Vested (6,060,842) ​ 0.2753 Forfeited (1,608,861) ​ 0.4077 Unvested at December 31, 2020 20,904,995 ​ 0.5415 Vested (7,629,599) 0.4302 Forfeited (861,193) 0.6266 Unvested at December 31, 2021 12,414,203 0.6037 Vested (5,341,452) 0.5265 Forfeited (713,418) 0.7401 Unvested at December 31, 2022 6,359,333 0.6531 ​ The fair value of each granted RSUs is estimated based on the fair value of the underlying ordinary share of the Company on the date of grant, less any nominal amounts paid for such shares. The fair value of the RSUs granted by Smart Share Brothers was recognized as share-based compensation expense immediately on the grant date. The fair value of the RSUs granted by Smart Share CGY was amortized to the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss) as share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting term. The Company recognized share-based compensation expenses of RMB17,340, RMB20,130 and RMB17,878 related to RSUs in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss) for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, as agreed with the employees in connection with the vesting of their RSUs, the employees transferred 2,306,690 and 91,860 vested RSUs to the Company respectively, of which the aggregated fair value was RMB21,848 and RMB362 respectively on the dates of transfer. The fair value of the transferred shares was determined by the market prices on the dates of transfer and was equivalent to the individual income taxes that the employees were liable to for the vesting of RSUs and the Company would settle with the local tax authority on behalf of the employees. The Company recorded the withheld shares in treasury shares. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the total fair value of RSUs vested were RMB11,504, RMB22,661 and RMB19,423, respectively. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, there were RMB39,525 and RMB17,413 of unrecognized shared-based compensation expenses related to the RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.08 1.20 (c) In January 2021, the shareholders and board of directors approved the 2021 Share Incentive Plan to attract and retain qualified personnel, provide incentives to employees, directors and consultants, and promote the success of the Group’s business. The 2021 Share Incentive Plan permits the awards of options, restricted share units, restricted shares or other types of award approved by a committee that administers the plan. The 2021 Share Incentive Plan assumed all awards that the Company had granted previously. The terms and conditions of the survived awards remain unchanged and continue to be effective and binding under the 2021 Share Incentive Plan. In August 2021, the Board approved the Company to grant share options and restricted shares to purchase up to 5,055,208 Class A ordinary shares under the 2021 Share Incentive Plan. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2021, the Company granted 5,009,222 share options. The Company didn’t grant any share options in 2022. Share options granted under the 2021 Incentive Plan have a contractual term of ten years from the stated grant date and are generally subject to a four-year vesting schedule. Depending on the nature and the purpose of the grant, share-based awards generally vest 25% upon the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date, and 25%, 25% and 25% in following years thereafter. The following table summarizes the Group’s option activities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted Weighted ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Average ​ Average ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Grant ​ Remaining ​ Aggregate ​ ​ Share ​ Date Fair Contractual ​ Intrinsic ​ Option Value Life Value ​ ​ ​ ​ US$ ​ In years ​ ​ Outstanding as of December 31, 2020 ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — Granted ​ 5,009,222 ​ 1.4350 ​ — ​ — Cancelled ​ (228,624) ​ 1.4350 ​ — ​ — Outstanding as of December 31, 2021 ​ 4,780,598 ​ 1.4350 ​ 9.64 ​ 21,945 Exercised ​ (55,960) ​ 1.4350 ​ — ​ — Cancelled ​ (451,726) ​ 1.4350 ​ — ​ — Outstanding as of December 31, 2022 ​ 4,272,912 ​ 1.4350 ​ 8.64 ​ 16,667 Vested and expected to vest as of December 31, 2022 ​ 4,272,912 ​ 1.4350 ​ 8.64 ​ 16,667 Exercisable as of December 31, 2022 ​ 1,064,156 ​ 1.4350 ​ 8.64 ​ 4,151 ​ The Group uses binomial option-pricing model determine fair value of the share-based awards. The estimated fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the binomial option-pricing model with the following assumptions: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year ended December 31, 2021 ​ Exercise price (US$) 0.01 ​ Fair value of the ordinary share on the date of option grant (US$) 1.445 ​ Expected volatility 62.97 % Risk-free interest rate (per annum) 1.25 % Expected dividend yield — ​ Exercise multiple ​ 2.2 ​ Contractual term (in years) ​ 10 ​ Expected forfeiture rate (post-vesting) ​ 5.24 % ​ Risk-free interest rate is estimated based on the yield curve of US Sovereign Bond as of the option valuation date. The expected volatility at the grant date and each option valuation date is estimated based on annualized standard deviation of daily stock price return of comparable companies with a time horizon close to the expected expiry of the term of the options. The Group has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its capital stock, and the Group does not anticipate any dividend payments in the foreseeable future. The exercise multiple is estimated as the ratio of fair value of underlying shares over the exercise price as at the time the option is exercised, based on a consideration of empirical studies on the actual exercise behavior of employees. Contractual term is the contract life of the options. Share-based compensation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally four years from the date of grant. The Company recognized share-based compensation expenses of nil, RMB3,936 and RMB10,367 for share options granted in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss) for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, there was RMB40,601 and RMB26,456 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.64 and 2.64 years, respectively.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, capital commitments relating to purchase of cabinets and power banks were approximately RMB80,147 and RMB109,638, respectively. (c) Contingencies The Group is subject to legal proceedings and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of business. The results of such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, but the Group does not anticipate that the final outcome arising out of any such matter will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations on an individual basis or in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, the Group is not a party to any material legal or administrative proceedings. In February 2021, Mr. Mars Guangyuan Cai, the founder and chief executive officer of the Company who, as one of the Nominee Shareholders, holds 62% equity interest of Shanghai Zhixiang, received a lawsuit filed by two individuals alleging that Mr. Cai had failed to fulfil an alleged promise Mr. Cai was claimed to have made when Shanghai Zhixiang had not been incorporated to gift 3% equity interest of Shanghai Zhixiang to the plaintiffs. On January 25, 2022, the case was ruled in favor of Mr. Mars Guangyuan Cai by a court of competent jurisdiction in the PRC as the final verdict. This lawsuit did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Restricted net assets
Restricted net assets	17. Restricted net assets Relevant PRC laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by the Group’s subsidiaries and consolidated VIE incorporated in the PRC only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, the Group’s subsidiaries and consolidated VIE in the PRC are required to annually appropriate 10% of their net after-tax income to the statutory general reserve fund prior to payment of any dividends, unless such reserve funds have reached 50% of their respective registered capital. As a result of these and other restrictions under PRC laws and regulations, the Group’s subsidiaries and consolidated VIE incorporated in the PRC are restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their net assets to the Company either in the form of dividends, loans or advances. There are no significant differences between US GAAP and PRC accounting standards in connection with the reported net assets of the legally owned subsidiaries and the consolidated VIE in the PRC. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, the total restricted net assets of the Group’s subsidiaries and consolidated VIE incorporated in PRC and subjected to restriction amounted to approximately RMB1,611,371 and RMB1,294,247, respectively. Even though the Group currently does not require any such dividends, loans or advances from the PRC entities for working capital and other funding purposes, the Group may in the future require additional cash resources from them due to changes in business conditions, to fund future acquisitions and development, or merely to declare and pay dividends or distributions to its shareholders. There is no other restriction on the use of proceeds generated by the Group’s subsidiaries and consolidated VIE to satisfy any obligations of the Group.

Summary of principal accounti_2

Summary of principal accounting policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2022
Summary of principal accounting policies
Basis of presentation	(a) Basis of presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for the periods presented. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Consolidation	(b) Consolidation The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and the consolidated VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. A subsidiary is an entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power, has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors, to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee under a statute or agreement among the shareholders or equity holders. A consolidated VIE is an entity in which the Company, or its subsidiaries, through contractual arrangements, bears the risks of, and enjoys the rewards normally associated with, ownership of the entity, and therefore the Company or its subsidiaries are the primary beneficiary of the entity. All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries and the consolidated VIEs have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of estimates	(c) Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, measurement and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Group’s management reviews these estimates based on information that is currently available. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Group to revise its estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s consolidated financial statements include, allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of property, equipment and software, impairment of long-lived assets, inventory write-downs, impairment of prepayments to location partners, internal rate of return associated with the finance lease, valuation and recognition of share-based compensation arrangements, convertible redeemable preferred shares and warrant liabilities, capitalized software development cost, valuation allowance of deferred tax assets.
Functional currency and foreign currency translation	(d) Functional currency and foreign currency translation An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates, normally that is the currency of the environment in which it primarily generates and expends cash and is determined by various indicators, including but not limited to cash flow, sales price, sales market, expenses, financing and intercompany transactions and arrangements. The functional currency of the Company, its consolidated VIEs in BVI and subsidiary in Hong Kong is the United States dollar (US$). The Company’s subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs in PRC use Renminbi (“RMB”) as their functional currency. The determination of the respective functional currency is based on the criteria of ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. Transactions denominated in currencies other than functional currencies are translated into functional currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China (the “PBOC”) prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in net income. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currencies using the applicable exchange rates quoted by the PBOC at the balance sheet dates. All such exchange gains and losses are included in net income. The reporting currency of the Group is RMB. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date, equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the period. Translation adjustments are reported as accumulated comprehensive income/(loss) and are shown as a separate component of other comprehensive income/(loss) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss).
Fair value measurements	(e) Fair value measurements The Group defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The established fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value include: Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Group’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, notes receivable, prepayments and other current assets, lease liabilities, accounts and notes payable, amounts due to related parties, financing payable and accruals and other current liabilities. Except for short-term investments and derivative liabilities which are measured at fair value, the carrying values of the other financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Certain short-term investments in financial products and securities and derivative instruments classified within Level 2 are valued using directly or indirectly observable inputs in the marketplace. The Group’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair Value Measurement Using Significant ​ ​ Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) ​ ​ As of December 31, ​ ​ 2021 ​ 2022 ​ RMB RMB Short-term investments ​ 1,418,721 ​ 2,091,198 Derivative liabilities — (2,592) ​ Refer to Note 12 for roll forward of level 3 financial instruments and key assumptions used by the Group in estimating the fair value of warrant liabilities.
Convenience translation	(f) Convenience translation Translations of the consolidated balance sheets, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss) and the consolidated statements of cash flows from RMB into US$ as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 are solely for the convenience of the readers and were calculated at the rate of US$1.00=RMB6.8972, representing the certificated exchange rate published by the Federal Reserve Board as of December 30, 2022. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into US$ at that rate on December 30, 2022, or at any other rate.
Cash and cash equivalents	(g) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits placed with banks and third-party payment processors, which are unrestricted from withdrawal or use, that have original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.
Restricted cash	(h) Restricted cash Cash that is restricted from withdrawal for use or pledged as security is reported separately on the face of the consolidated balance sheets. The Group’s restricted cash mainly represents the deposits held in designated bank accounts for issuance of bank acceptance notes and letter of guarantee. The Group adopted ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash (Topic 230) Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows are presented separately on consolidated balance sheets as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ As of December 31, ​ ​ 2021 ​ 2022 ​ RMB RMB Cash and cash equivalents 1,296,924 948,773 Restricted cash 19,671 14,608 Long-term restricted cash ​ 20,000 ​ 21,000 Total 1,336,595 984,381 ​
Short-term investments	(i) Short-term investments Short-term investments are comprised of investments in financial products issued by banks or other financial institutions, which contain a fixed or variable interest rate and with original maturities between one month and one year. Such investments are generally not permitted to be redeemed prior to the maturity or are subject to penalties for redemption prior to maturity. These investments are stated at fair value. Changes in the fair value are reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss).
Derivative instruments	(j) Derivative instruments Derivative instruments are carried at fair value. The fair values of the derivative financial instruments generally represent the estimated amounts expect to receive or pay upon termination of the contracts as of the reporting date. The Group’s derivative instruments primarily consisted of foreign currency forward contracts which are used to economically hedge certain foreign denominated liabilities and reduce, to the extent practicable, the potential exposure to the changes that exchange rates might have on the Group’s earnings, cash flows and financial position. As the derivative instruments of foreign currency forward contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, changes in the fair value are reflected in interest and investment income of the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss). As of December 31, 2021, and 2022, and for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the balance of the derivative instruments and the total amount of fair value changes are not material.
Accounts receivable, net	(k) Accounts receivable, net The Group’s accounts receivable mainly consist of amounts due from the customers less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Group reviews accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. The Group determines the allowance for doubtful accounts on general basis taking into consideration various factors including but not limited to historical collection experience and credit worthiness of the customers as well as the age of the individual receivables balance. The facts and circumstances of each account may require the Group to use substantial judgment in assessing its collectability. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the Group recognized a provision for doubtful accounts of RMB5,302, RMB3,206 and RMB3,435, respectively. The following table summarized the details of the Group’s allowance for doubtful accounts: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ As of December 31, ​ ​ 2020 ​ 2021 ​ 2022 ​ RMB RMB RMB Balance at the beginning of year 5,025 ​ 3,268 5,986 Provision for doubtful accounts 5,302 ​ 3,206 3,435 Write-offs (7,059) ​ (488) (4,335) Balance at the end of year 3,268 ​ 5,986 5,086 ​
Inventories	(l) Inventories Inventories, consisting of products for sale, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost of inventory is determined using the weighted average cost method. Adjustments are recorded to write down the cost of inventory to the estimated net realizable value due to slow-moving merchandises and damaged goods, which is dependent upon factors such as historical and forecasted consumer demand, and promotional environment. The Company takes ownership, risks and rewards of the products purchased. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the Group recognized cost of revenue in connection with write-down of inventory with the amount of nil, nil and RMB9,273 respectively.
Property, equipment and software, net	(m) Property, equipment and software, net ​ ​ ​ ​ Cabinets 4 to 5 years Power banks 3 years Computer and electronic equipment 3 years Production tools 5 years Software 10 years Others 3 Leasehold improvements Shorter of the estimated useful lives or the lease term ​ Property, equipment and software are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation/amortization and impairment. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives. The Group purchases certain raw materials and components directly from suppliers and outsources the manufacturing to the assembly partners. Raw materials, components and all other direct costs that are related to the production of power banks and cabinets under construction and incurred in connection with bringing the assets to their intended use are capitalized as construction in progress. Construction in progress is transferred to power banks and cabinets and depreciation commences when the asset is ready for its intended use. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Gain or loss on the disposal of property, equipment and software is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss). The Group’s power banks can be used either for rental in relation to the mobile device charging business or for sale, at the discretion of the users. The Group initially records the power bank as property and equipment based on the usage pattern of its users who primarily opt to rent the power banks. When the users elect to purchase power banks, the pertinent power banks are reclassified to the inventory at the net carrying value and are recognized as cost of revenues upon the transfer of power banks to users. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, all power banks that were elected for purchase by the users had been transferred to the users. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the Group recognized cost of revenue in connection with the power bank sales with the amount of RMB31,856, RMB27,956 and RMB12,465, respectively.
Capitalized Software Development Cost	(n) Capitalized Software Development Cost The Group capitalizes the direct development costs associated with internal-used software in accordance with ASC 350-40, “Internal-use software”, which requires the capitalization of costs relating to certain activities of developing internal-use software that occur during the application development stage. Costs capitalized mainly include payroll and payroll-related costs for employees incurred during the application development stage of the internal-use software projects. Capitalized internal-use software costs are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and the amount is included in “property and equipment, net” on the consolidated balance sheets, with an estimated useful life of three years. Software development cost capitalized amounted to nil, RMB7,922 and RMB5,677 for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively. The amortization expense for capitalized software costs amounted to nil, RMB1,280 and RMB3,679 for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, the carrying amount of capitalized internal use software development costs was RMB6,642 and RMB8,640, respectively.
Impairment of long-lived assets	(o) Impairment of long-lived assets Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of any impairment loss for long-lived assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the amount the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. When impairment is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of the underlying fixed assets becomes their carrying value. The new cost basis is depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the assets. Impairment charge recognized in cost of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 was nil, nil and RMB21,560, respectively.
Revenue recognition	(p) Revenue recognition The Group’s revenues are primarily derived from (i) mobile device charging business, (ii) power bank sales, and (iii) others. Revenue recognition policies for each type of revenue stream are as follows: Mobile device charging business The Group deploys its equipment, including cabinets with power banks, in highly frequented points of interest, such as entertainment venues, restaurants, shopping centers, hotels, transportation hubs and public spaces, etc., which are operated by its location partners. Individual customers can scan the QR code on the cabinets with their mobile devices to place an order to use a power bank. A deposit is generally required for each order placed by the users except for users who have qualified credit scores at WeChat or Alipay. The deposit is refunded to users when they return the power banks. The Group records the deposit in accruals and other current liabilities. As provided in the customer agreement, if the power banks are not returned by the users after a certain period of time, the deposit will be kept by the Group to settle their usage of the power banks. The Group recognizes such deposit as revenue from the mobile device charging business. The Group earns its revenue from the mobile device charging business from the rental fees it receives from the customers, which are a function of the hourly rate determined by the Group and the period of time for which the customers use the power banks. The Group collects fees directly from its customers through third party payment processors, such as WeChat and Alipay, generally upon the return of the power bank. As individual customers have the right to use a specific power bank for a period of time to charge their mobile devices, the arrangements with the individual customers constitute a lease and the revenue for the mobile device charging business is recognized under ASC 842, “Leases” (“ASC 842”) since the adoption of ASC 842 by the Group on January 1, 2022, and under ASC 840, “Leases” (“ASC 840”) during the periods prior to January 1, 2022. The revenue generated from the mobile device charging business is recognized as contingent rental revenue which is accrued during the rental period of the power banks. The mobile device charging business is operated under a direct model or a network partner model as follows: ● Under the direct model, the Group identifies and negotiates with location partners directly and pays location partners commissions based on a certain percentage of the revenue the Group generates from the equipment placed in location partners’ venues. In some cases, the Company pays the location partners entry fees or prepaid commissions for placement of the Group’s equipment. The amortization of entry fees and commissions paid to the location partners are presented as sales and marketing expenses; and ● Under the network partner model, the Group collaborates with network partners by leveraging their local business network to expand its business. The network partners are engaged to identify the points of interest and negotiate with the location partners for deployment of the equipment. The Group is obligated to pay commissions to network partners based on a certain percentage of the revenue the Group generates from the equipment placed by the network partners. The commissions paid to location partners or network partners are presented as sales and marketing expenses. Transaction with network partners - sales of the cabinets Under the network partner model, the Group sells the cabinets to majority of network partners, but retains all the output derived from the cabinets, whose only potential use is to store, charge, and process the Group’s proprietary power banks, for an indefinite period. The Group has determined that this right of use should be accounted for as an embedded lease for the estimated useful life of the cabinets. Since the embedded lease of the cabinets would be classified as a capital lease under ASC 840 and as a finance lease under ASC 842, the Group accounts for the proceeds from the network partners as a financing transaction rather than as a sale of the cabinets. Therefore, the cabinets continue to be recognized as the Group’s equipment and are depreciated over their useful lives (Note 5). The cash received from the network partners for the cabinets is initially recognized as financial liabilities and the liability is subsequently accreted over the estimated beneficial period of the cabinets based on the estimated effective rate of return implicit in the lease, with interest expense being recognized. The effective interest rate is estimated based on the projected variable lease repayment amounts that have been bifurcated from the estimated commissions to be paid to the network partners during the useful life of the cabinets based on their relative standalone selling prices. The financial liabilities are settled when payments are made to the network partners. The financial liabilities that are expected to be settled over one year from the balance sheet date are presented as long-term liabilities. The Group regularly evaluates the effective interest rate against the actual lease repayments and prospectively adjusts the effective interest rate as necessary. For the periods presented, there was no material change in the effective interest rate. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the weighted average effective interest rate was 23%, 24% and 21%, respectively. The roll forward of the aggregated financing payables for both current and non-current are as below: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Year Ended December 31, ​ ​ 2020 ​ 2021 ​ 2022 ​ RMB RMB RMB Balance at the beginning of year 142,156 ​ 244,151 169,833 Addition 115,387 ​ 3,445 1,758 Accretion of interest 32,097 ​ 37,806 31,196 Repayment (45,489) ​ (115,569) (69,738) Derecognition (*) ​ — ​ — ​ (24,496) Balance at the end of year 244,151 ​ 169,833 108,553 *For the year ended December 31, 2022, with the termination of the arrangement with certain network partners, the Group is no longer considered to retain the right of use of the cabinets sold to these network partners and the financing transaction is ceased accordingly. Therefore, the Group derecognized the carrying values of the related equipment and the financing payables of RMB 6,959 and RMB 24,496 , respectively, with the net gains of RMB 17,537 recorded in other operating income as the debt extinguishment gain. Transaction with network partners – upfront fee Since 2021, the Group entered into network partners agreements with certain network partners under which, instead of purchasing the cabinets from the Group, the network partners agree to pay a pre-agreed fixed upfront fee to the Group to become its network partners. During the contractual period, the network partners are entitled to the commission from the Group based on a certain percentage of the revenue the Group generates from the equipment placed by the network partners. The upfront fee is recorded as liability when collected and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated beneficial period as the deduction of the commission to the to the network partners. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, the upfront fees agreed under such arrangements were RMB 158,176 and RMB 433,404 , respectively, among which RMB 14,586 and RMB 73,554 was amortized as the reduction to the sales and marketing expenses, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2022, with the business winding-ups of certain network partners under the upfront fee arrangements, the Group derecognized carrying values of the related equipment previously provided to these network partners and the outstanding upfront fee payable of RMB2,785 and RMB6,917, respectively, with the net gains of RMB4,132 recorded in other operating income. Power bank sales The Group generates revenues from sales of power banks if the customers purchase power banks. Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”) when a purchase order is confirmed and the power banks are released to the customers, which is when the control of products is transferred. Other revenues Other revenues primarily comprise of revenues generated from advertising services and sales of merchandises. The Group provides advertising services to customers by displaying advertisement on the Group’s mobile applications in WeChat or Alipay. Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 606 over the period when the advertising is displayed. The Group considers several factors in determining whether it is appropriate to record the revenues at the gross amount of fees charged, or those amounts net of commissions paid. The Group sells certain merchandises through online platform. The Group recognizes revenue net of discounts and return allowance when the merchandises are delivered and control passes to the customers. Generally, revenues are recorded at the gross sales price because the Group controls the specified goods or services, and is the primary obligor in a transaction, is subject to substantial inventory risk, and has latitude in establishing prices. The Group’s revenues are recognized after deducting estimated price concessions, discounts, and value added tax (“VAT”).
Cost of revenues	(q) Cost of revenues Cost of revenues consists primarily of shipping and handling expenses, employee wages, bonus and benefits of supply chain departments, rental expenses, depreciation of power banks and cabinets, cost of power banks sold or lost, cost of merchandises sold and other expenses directly attributable to the Group’s principal operations.

The Group expenses all costs that are incurred in connection with the planning and implementation phases of development, and costs that are associated with maintenance of the existing websites or software for internal use. Certain costs associated with developing internal-use software are capitalized when such costs are incurred within the application development stage of software development (Note 2(n)).
Sales and marketing expenses	(s) Sales and marketing expenses Sales and marketing expenses comprise primarily of the amortization of entry fees paid to location partners and commissions to the location partners and network partners which are all primarily for purchase of user traffic, advertising expenses, third-party platforms commission fee, employee wages and benefits for sales and marketing staff, depreciation expenses, rental expenses and other daily expenses which are related to the sales and marketing functions. Entry fees paid to location partners are amortized on straight line basis over the contractual period with location partners during which the Group’s equipment is placed in location partners’ venues, ranging from 1 year to 6 years, and the weighted average term is around 1.9 years, 2.0 years and 2.3 years for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022. Entry fee is accrued based on actual period of cabinet placement if payment is yet to be made. Commissions to the location partners and network partners are expensed in line with the recognition of rental income from users. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the aggregated commissions to the location partners and network partners and amortization of the entry fees to the location partners amounted to RMB1,576,565, RMB2,112,774 and RMB2,069,102, respectively. Advertising expenses primarily consist of promotion and advertising expenses. The Group expenses all advertising expenses as incurred and classifies these expenses under sales and marketing expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, advertising expenses were RMB6,752, RMB14,988 and RMB10,684, respectively.
General and administrative expenses	(t) General and administrative expenses General and administrative expenses consist of employee wages and benefits for corporate employees, other expenses which are related to the general corporate functions, including accounting, finance, tax, legal and human resources, and costs associated with the use of facilities and equipment by these functions, such as depreciation expenses, rental and other general corporate related expenses.
Employee benefits	(u) Employee benefits The Company’s subsidiaries and the consolidated VIE in China participate in a government mandated, multi-employer, defined contribution plan, pursuant to which certain retirement, medical, housing and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. Chinese labor laws require the entities incorporated in China to pay to the local labor bureau a monthly contribution at a stated contribution rate based on the monthly basic compensation of qualified employees. The Group has no further commitments beyond its monthly contribution. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, employee social benefits included as expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss) amounted to RMB53,266, RMB140,259 and RMB151,499, respectively. The Group has not made contribution in full to the labor bureau for some of the employees based on relevant PRC regulation. The Group has made provision for the underpayment of social benefits according to the relevant PRC regulation. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, the accrued and unpaid employee social benefits were RMB31,384 and RMB58,478, respectively.
Government grants	(v) Government grants The Group’s PRC based subsidiaries received government subsidies from certain local governments. The Group’s government subsidies are mainly VAT refund and other government subsidies that the local government has not specified its purpose for and are not tied to future trends or performance of the Group; receipt of such subsidy income is not contingent upon any further actions or performance of the Group and the amounts do not have to be refunded under any circumstances. VAT refund and other government subsidies are recognized as other operating income upon receipt as further performance by the Group is not required. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, government subsidies were RMB24,790, RMB29,956 and RMB17,636, respectively.
Share-based compensation	(w) Share-based compensation The Company follows ASC 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation” to determine whether share-based awards should be classified and accounted for as a liability award or equity award. The Company granted restricted shares, RSUs and share options to the Company’s founders, employees and external consultants, which are classified as equity awards and recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their grant date fair values. Share-based compensation awards are measured at the grant date fair value of the awards and recognized as expenses a) immediately at grant date if no vesting conditions are required; or b) for awards granted with only service conditions, using the straight-line vesting method, over the vesting period. Share-based compensation in relation to the restricted shares and RSUs is measured based on the fair market value of the Group’s ordinary shares at the grant date of the award. Prior to the listing, estimation of the fair value of the Group’s ordinary shares involves significant assumptions that might not be observable in the market, and a number of complex and subjective variables, including discount rate, and subjective judgments regarding the Group’s projected financial and operating results, its unique business risks, the liquidity of its ordinary shares and its operating history and prospects at the time the grants are made. In addition, the binomial option-pricing model is used to measure the value of share options. The determination of the fair value is affected by the fair value of the ordinary shares as well as assumptions including the expected share price volatility, actual and projected employee and non-employee share option exercise behavior, risk-free interest rates and expected dividends. The fair value of these awards was determined taking into account independent valuation advice. The modifications of the terms or conditions of the shared-based award are treated as an exchange of the original award for a new award. The incremental compensation expense is equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award immediately after the modification over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. For awards already vested as of the modification date, the Company immediately recognized the incremental value as compensation expenses. For awards still unvested as of the modification date, the incremental compensation expenses are recognized over the remaining service period of these awards. In accordance with ASU 2016-09, the Group makes an entity-wide accounting policy election to account for forfeitures when they occur.
Leases	(x) Leases The Group applied ASC 842, Leases, on January 1, 2022 on a modified retrospective basis and has elected not to recast comparative periods. The Group determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are primarily for office and warehouse space and are included in right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current portion of lease liabilities and non-current lease liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Group’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Group’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The Group’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Renewal options are considered within the ROU assets and lease liability when it is reasonably certain that the Group will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For operating leases with a term of one year or less, the Group has elected to not recognize a lease liability or ROU asset on its consolidated balance sheet. Instead, it recognizes the lease payments as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Upon the adoption of the new lease standard, on January 1, 2022, the Group recognized operating lease assets of RMB31,132 and total operating lease liabilities of RMB25,807 (including current liabilities of RMB22,132) in the consolidated balance sheets. There was no impact to retained earnings at adoption. The Group has elected to adopt the following lease policies in conjunction with the adoption of ASU 2016-02: (i) for leases that have lease terms of 12 months or less and does not include a purchase option that is reasonably certain to exercise, the Group elected not to apply ASC 842 recognition requirements; and (ii) the Group elected to apply the package of practical expedients for existing arrangements entered into prior to January 1, 2022 to not reassess (a) whether an arrangement is or contains a lease, (b) the lease classification applied to existing leases, and (c) initial direct costs.
Income tax	(y) Income tax Current income taxes are provided on the basis of net income for financial reporting purposes, adjusted for income and expense items which are not assessable or deductible for income tax purposes, in accordance with the regulations of the relevant tax jurisdictions. Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The tax base of an asset or liability is the amount attributed to that asset or liability for tax purposes. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss) in the period of change. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion of, or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Uncertain tax positions ASC 740, Tax provision prescribes a more likely than not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Guidance was also provided on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Group’s uncertain tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. The Group recognizes interests and penalties, if any, under accrued expenses and other current liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets and under income tax expense in its consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss). As of December 31, 2021, the Group did no In order to assess uncertain tax positions, the Group applies a more likely than not threshold and a two-step approach for the tax position measurement and financial statement recognition. Under the two-step approach, the first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement.
Statutory reserves	(z) Statutory reserves In accordance with China’s Company Laws, the Company’s subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs in PRC must make appropriations from their after-tax profit (as determined under the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises as promulgated by the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC GAAP”)) to non-distributable reserve funds including (i) statutory surplus fund and (ii) discretionary surplus fund. The appropriation to the statutory surplus fund must be at least 10% of the after-tax profits calculated in accordance with PRC GAAP. Appropriation is not required if the statutory surplus fund has reached 50% of the registered capital of the respective company. Appropriation to the discretionary surplus fund is made at the discretion of the respective company. Pursuant to the laws applicable to China’s Foreign Investment Enterprises, the Company’s subsidiary that is a foreign investment enterprise in China has to make appropriations from its after-tax profit (as determined under PRC GAAP) to reserve funds including (i) general reserve fund, (ii) enterprise expansion fund and (iii) staff bonus and welfare fund. The appropriation to the general reserve fund must be at least 10% of the after-tax profits calculated in accordance with PRC GAAP. Appropriation is not required if the general reserve fund has reached 50% of the registered capital of the respective company. Appropriations to the other two reserve funds are at the respective companies’ discretion. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the Group has provided RMB4,678, nil and nil appropriations to statutory surplus fund, respectively.
Comprehensive income/(loss)	(aa) Comprehensive income/(loss) Comprehensive income/(loss) is defined as the change in equity of the Group during the period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments from owners and distributions to owners. For the periods presented, the Group’s comprehensive income/(loss) includes net income and other comprehensive income/(loss), which mainly consists of the foreign currency translation adjustment that have been excluded from the determination of net income. Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss), as presented on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, consists of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.
Income/(loss) per share	(ab) Income/(loss) per share Basic income/(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/(loss) attributable to holders of ordinary shares by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net income/(loss) is allocated between common shares and other participating securities base on their participating rights. Diluted net income/(loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities to issue ordinary shares were exercised. The dilutive effect of outstanding share-based awards is reflected in the diluted net income/(loss) per share by application of the if-converted method and treasury stock method, respectively. Dilutive equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of diluted net income/(loss) per share if their effects would be anti-dilutive.
Dividends	(ac) Dividends Dividends are recognized when declared. No dividends were declared for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022.
Treasury shares	(ad) Treasury shares Treasury shares for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 represents ordinary shares issued to the Company’s consolidated VIEs for the RSUs scheme. Refer to Note 13(b) for details. On September 28, 2021, the Company’s board of directors authorized a share repurchase program under which the Company was authorized to repurchase up to US$50 million worth of the Company’s shares over the next 12 months (the “Share Repurchase Program”). On September 28, 2022, the Board authorized a 12-month extension to the Share Repurchase Program through September 27, 2023 that the Company may repurchase up to US$50.0 million of its shares. The share repurchase programs permitted the Company to purchase shares from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades and/or through other legally permissible means, depending on market conditions and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The repurchased shares were accounted for under the cost method and presented as “treasury stock” in equity on the Group’s consolidated balance sheets.
Segment reporting	(ae) Segment reporting In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the Group’s chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, reviews the consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Group as a whole and hence, the Group has only one reportable segment. The Group does not distinguish between markets or segments for the purpose of internal reporting. The Group’s long-lived assets are substantially all located in the PRC and substantially all the Group’s revenues are derived from within the PRC, therefore, no geographical segments are presented.
Recent accounting pronouncements	(af) Recent accounting pronouncements The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company”, or EGC, pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended, or the JOBS Act. As an EGC, the Company can elect to not adopt any new or revised financial accounting standards until such date that a private company is otherwise required to comply with such new or revised accounting standards. The Group adopts the following standards based on extended transition period provided to private companies or early adopts as necessary as permitted by the respective standards. Recently adopted accounting pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 201602”). Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of use asset for each of its leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). Leases will be classified as either operating or finance. The update also expands the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures for leases. The standard is effective for the Group beginning January 1, 2022 and interim periods within the following fiscal year, with early adoption permitted. The Group adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective transition approach, to be applied to leases existing as of, or entered into after, January 1, 2022. Prior period results continue to be presented under ASC 840 based on the accounting standards originally in effect for such periods. This standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition , which has been detailed in accounting policy(x) above. In connection with the adoption of ASC 842, on January 1, 2022, the Group recorded an impact of RMB31,132 and RMB25,807 on its assets and liabilities for the recognition of operating lease right-of-use-assets and operating lease liabilities, respectively, which are primarily related to the lease of the Group’s office and warehouse space. The adoption of ASC 842 did not have a material impact on the Group’s results of operations or cash flows. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12—Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This update simplifies the accounting for income taxes as part of the FASB’s overall initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2022 and interim periods within those for the Group beginning after January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements. In January 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-01, Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. The amendments clarified that for the purpose of applying paragraph 815-10-15-141(a) an entity should not consider whether, upon the settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, individually or with existing investments, the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method in Topic 323 or the fair value option in accordance with the financial instruments guidance in Topic 825. An entity also would evaluate the remaining characteristics in paragraph 815-10-15-141 to determine the accounting for those forward contracts and purchased options. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Group adopted this update in the first quarter of 2022 and the adoption did not have a material impact to the Group’s consolidated financial statements. In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the amendments prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Group adopted this update in the first quarter of 2022 and the adoption did not have a material impact to the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted In June 2016, the FASB amended guidance related to the impairment of financial instruments as part of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU relates to the measurement of credit losses for certain financial assets measured at amortized cost and available-for-sale debt securities. The FASB further issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses,” or ASU 2018-19, Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses,” or ASU 2019-04, Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-05, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief,” or ASU 2019-05, Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-10, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Effective Dates,” or ASU 2019-10 and Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-11, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses,” or ASU 2019-11. The amendments in these ASUs provide clarifications to ASU 2016-13. For financial assets measured at amortized cost, ASU 2019-04 requires an entity to (1) estimate its lifetime expected credit losses upon recognition of the financial assets and establish an allowance to present the net amount expected to be collected, (2) recognize this allowance and changes in the allowance during subsequent periods through net income and (3) consider relevant information about past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts in assessing the lifetime expected credit losses. For available-for-sale debt securities, ASU 2019-04 made several targeted amendments to the existing other-than-temporary impairment model, including (1) requiring disclosure of the allowance for credit losses, (2) allowing reversals of the previously recognized credit losses until the entity has the intent to sell, is more-likely-than-not required to sell the securities or the maturity of the securities, (3) limiting impairment to the difference between the amortized cost basis and fair value and (4) not allowing entities to consider the length of time that fair value has been less than amortized cost as a factor in evaluating whether a credit loss exists. According to Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-10, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Effective Dates,” for public business entities that are U.S. SEC filers, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. As an emerging growth company, the Group elected to use the extended transition period for complying with any new or revised financial accounting standards. Therefore, the Group elected to adopt this new guidance for the year ended December 31, 2023, including interim periods in the year ended December 31, 2023. The Group adopted this standard on January 1, 2023 on a modified retrospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact to the Group’s consolidated financial statements. In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2021-08), which clarifies that an acquirer of a business should recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new amendments are effective for the Group are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments, with early adoption permitted. The standard is effective for the Group for the year ended December 31, 2024 including interim periods in the year ended December 31, 2024. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact to the Group’s consolidated financial statements. In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The update clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The update also clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The update also requires certain additional disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. The amendments in this update are effective for the Group beginning January 1, 2025 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Group is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact to the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
