Second Quarter 2024 Financial and Operational Highlights

Total net revenues in the second quarter of 2024 were RMB2,764.3 million (US$380.4 million), an increase of 34.1% from RMB2,062.0 million in the same period of 2023.

Net income in the second quarter of 2024 was RMB840.5 million (US$115.7 million), an increase of 38.0% from RMB609.0 million in the same period of 2023.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income[1] in the second quarter of 2024 was RMB970.9 million (US$133.6 million), an increase of 34.3% from RMB722.7 million in the same period of 2023.

Fulfilled orders[2]in the second quarter of 2024 reached 49.1 million, an increase of 22.0% from 40.2 million in the same period of 2023.

Average shipper MAUs[3] in the second quarter of 2024 reached 2.65 million, an increase of 32.8% from 2.00 million in the same period of 2023.

Mr. Peter Hui Zhang, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FTA, commented, “We are pleased to see our team’s unwavering commitment to user centricity in the first half of 2024 despite pressure from macroeconomic challenges and extreme weather conditions. In the second quarter, we made steady progress across the board and delivered a strong operational and financial performance. Focusing on the core of our product and business from the user’s perspective has empowered consistent execution excellence. As a result, our shipper-user scale reached an all-time high. Meanwhile, we enhanced the infrastructure serving our truck-cargo matching system, driving continuous order structure improvement and a steady increase in fulfillment rate. As we move into the second half of the year, we are confident of achieving progress in various businesses and maintaining growth in both scale and profits.”

Mr. Simon Cai, Chief Financial Officer of FTA, added, “We delivered another set of robust financial results in the second quarter with growth in both top line and bottom line. Total net revenues increased by 34.1% year over year to RMB2,764.3 million, while net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income soared by 38.0% and 34.3% to reach RMB840.5 million and RMB970.9 million, respectively. More importantly, as we enhance the value of our platform’s ecosystem, our transaction service is rapidly realizing its monetization potential, with revenues under this model growing more than 60% year over year this quarter. Looking ahead, we see significant potential for user scale and monetization growth. We seek to continue seizing those opportunities by improving service quality and creating greater user value.”

[1] Non-GAAP adjusted net income is defined as net income excluding (i) share-based compensation expense; (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions; (iii) compensation cost incurred in relation to acquisitions; and (iv) tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments. See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” at the end of this press release.

[2] Fulfilled orders on our platform in a given period are defined as all shipping orders matched through our platform during such period but exclude (i) shipping orders that are subsequently canceled and (ii) shipping orders for which our users failed to specify any freight prices, as there are substantial uncertainties as to whether such shipping orders are fulfilled.

[3] Average shipper MAUs in a given period are calculated by dividing (i) the sum of shipper MAUs for each month of a given period by (ii) the number of months in a given period. Shipper MAUs are defined as the number of active shippers on our platform in a given month. Active shippers are defined as the aggregate number of registered shipper accounts that have posted at least one shipping order on our platform during a given period.

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Net Revenues (including value added taxes, or “VAT,” of RMB953.0 million and RMB1,255.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively). Total net revenues in the second quarter of 2024 were RMB2,764.3 million (US$380.4 million), representing an increase of 34.1% from RMB2,062.0 million in the same period of 2023, primarily attributable to an increase in revenues from freight matching services.

Freight matching services. Revenues from freight matching services in the second quarter of 2024 were RMB2,328.7 million (US$320.4 million), representing an increase of 34.4% from RMB1,732.2 million in the same period of 2023. The increase was mainly due to a significant increase in transaction service[4] and the continued growth in freight brokerage service.

Freight brokerage service. Revenues from freight brokerage service in the second quarter of 2024 were RMB1,164.8 million (US$160.3 million), an increase of 22.7% from RMB948.9 million in the same period of 2023, primarily attributable to an increase in transaction volume due to the continued growth in user demand.

Freight listing service. Revenues from freight listing service in the second quarter of 2024 were RMB212.1 million (US$29.2 million), an increase of 5.6% from RMB200.8 million in the same period of 2023, primarily due to a growing number of total paying members.

Transaction service.[4] Revenues from transaction service amounted to RMB951.9 million (US$131.0 million) in the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 63.4% from RMB582.5 million in the same period of 2023, primarily driven by an increase in order volume, penetration rate, and the per-order transaction service fee.

Value-added services. Revenues from value-added services in the second quarter of 2024 were RMB435.6 million (US$59.9 million), an increase of 32.0% from RMB329.9 million in the same period of 2023. The increase was due to the growing demand from truckers and shippers for credit solutions and other value-added services.

Cost of Revenues (including VAT net of government grants of RMB774.9 million and RMB992.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively). Cost of revenues in the second quarter of 2024 was RMB1,312.1 million (US$180.5 million), compared with RMB975.3 million in the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily due to increases in VAT, related tax surcharges and other tax costs, net of grants from government authorities. These tax-related costs net of government grants totaled RMB1,176.3 million, representing an increase of 33.8% from RMB879.3 million in the same period of 2023, primarily due to an increase in transaction activities involving the Company’s freight brokerage service.

Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses in the second quarter of 2024 were RMB372.3 million (US$51.2 million), compared with RMB281.8 million in the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in advertising and marketing expenses for user acquisitions, as well as higher salary and benefits expenses.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2024 were RMB219.2 million (US$30.2 million), compared with RMB201.7 million in the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher share-based compensation expenses.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses in the second quarter of 2024 were RMB232.1 million (US$31.9 million), compared with RMB223.7 million in the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher share-based compensation expenses and increased investment in technology infrastructure.

Income from Operations. Income from operations in the second quarter of 2024 was RMB565.4 million (US$77.8 million), an increase of 69.4% from RMB333.8 million in the same period of 2023.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Income.[5] Non-GAAP adjusted operating income in the second quarter of 2024 was RMB699.0 million (US$96.2 million), an increase of 55.1% from RMB450.7 million in the same period of 2023.

Net Income. Net income in the second quarter of 2024 was RMB840.5 million (US$115.7 million), an increase of 38.0% from RMB609.0 million in the same period of 2023.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income. Non-GAAP adjusted net income in the second quarter of 2024 was RMB970.9 million (US$133.6 million), an increase of 34.3% from RMB722.7 million in the same period of 2023.

Basic and Diluted Net Income per ADS[6] and Non-GAAP Adjusted Basic and Diluted Net Income per ADS.[7] Basic and diluted net income per ADS were RMB0.79 (US$0.11) in the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB0.57 in the same period of 2023. Non-GAAP adjusted basic net income per ADS was RMB0.92 (US$0.13) in the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB0.68 in the same period of 2023. Non-GAAP adjusted diluted net income per ADS was RMB0.91 (US$0.13) in the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB0.68 in the same period of 2023.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, long-term time deposits and wealth management products with maturities over one year of RMB26.8 billion (US$3.7 billion) in total, compared with RMB27.6 billion as of December 31, 2023.

As of June 30, 2024, the total outstanding balance of on-balance sheet loans, consisting of the total principal amounts and all accrued and unpaid interests of the loans funded through our small loan company, reduced by an allowance for estimated losses, was RMB3,997.1 million (US$550.0 million), compared with RMB3,521.1 million as of December 31, 2023. The total non-performing loan ratio[8] for these loans was 2.1% as of June 30, 2024, compared with 2.0% as of December 31, 2023.

In the second quarter of 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was RMB573.7 million (US$78.9 million).

[4] Effective January 1, 2024, we have renamed our “Transaction commission” revenue stream as “Transaction service,” which consists of all monetization from truckers related to our freight matching service, including the revenue generated from our intra-city business, which was previously classified under “Freight listing service” and “Value-added services.” The comparative periods have been restated to conform to this presentation by reclassifying RMB26.4 million and RMB1.0 million, which were previously included in “Freight listing service” and “Value-added services,” respectively, as “Transaction service”.

[5] Non-GAAP adjusted operating income is defined as income from operations excluding (i) share-based compensation expense; (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions; and (iii) compensation cost incurred in relation to acquisitions. See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” at the end of this press release.

[6] ADS refers to American depositary shares, each of which represents 20 Class A ordinary shares.

[7] Non-GAAP adjusted basic and diluted net income per ADS is net income attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding (i) share-based compensation expense; (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions; (iii) compensation cost incurred in relation to acquisitions; and (iv) tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments, divided by weighted average number of basic and diluted ADSs, respectively. For more information, refer to “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” at the end of this press release.

[8] Non-performing loan ratio is calculated by dividing the outstanding principal and all accrued and unpaid interests of the on-balance sheet loans that were over 90 calendar days past due (excluding loans that are over 180 days past due and are therefore charged off) by the total outstanding principal and all accrued and unpaid interests of the on-balance sheet loans (excluding loans that are over 180 days past due and are therefore charged off) reduced by an allowance for estimated losses as of a specified date.

 

Business Outlook

The Company expects its total net revenues to be between RMB2.76 billion and RMB2.82 billion for the third quarter of 2024, representing a year-over-year growth rate of approximately 21.9% to 24.6%. These forecasts reflect the Company’s current and preliminary views on the market and operational conditions, which are subject to change and cannot be predicted with reasonable accuracy as of the date hereof.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures 

The Company uses non-GAAP adjusted operating income, non-GAAP adjusted net income, non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP adjusted basic and diluted net income per share and non-GAAP adjusted basic and diluted net income per ADS, each a non-GAAP financial measure, as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance.

The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company defines non-GAAP adjusted operating income as income from operations excluding (i) share-based compensation expense; (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions; (iii) compensation cost incurred in relation to acquisitions. The Company defines non-GAAP adjusted net income as net income excluding (i) share-based compensation expense; (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions; (iii) compensation cost incurred in relation to acquisitions; and (iv) tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments. The Company defines non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders as net income attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding (i) share-based compensation expense; (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions; (iii) compensation cost incurred in relation to acquisitions; and (iv) tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments. The Company defines non-GAAP adjusted basic and diluted net income per share as non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by weighted average number of basic and diluted ordinary shares, respectively. The Company defines non-GAAP adjusted basic and diluted net income per ADS as non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of basic and diluted ADSs, respectively.

The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool. The non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect all items of expense that affect its operations. Share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, compensation cost incurred in relation to acquisitions and tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments have been and may continue to be incurred in its business and are not reflected in the presentation of its non-GAAP financial measures.

The Company reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measures. Non-GAAP adjusted operating income, non-GAAP adjusted net income, non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders and non-GAAP adjusted basic and diluted net income per share should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to operating income, net income, net income attributable to ordinary shareholders and basic and diluted net income per share or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of its operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review FTA’s non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. FTA’s non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Walmart Has 23.6% of U.S. Grocery Sales – But Costco Owns the AI Answer – 5W Grocery Retail AI Visibility Index 2026

Published

on

By

Walmart Owns 21% of U.S. Grocery — But Costco Owns the AI Answer 

NEW YORK, May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — 5WPR, the premier AI communications firm in the United States, today released the U.S. Grocery Retail AI Visibility Index 2026 — the 11th installment in 5W’s AI Visibility Index research series, and the first to rank American grocery retailers by how frequently they are cited inside AI-generated answers.

The headline finding rewrites the category league table.

Walmart, with approximately 21 percent of U.S. grocery market share — the largest in the country — ranks fourth in AI citation share. The retailer cited most often when American shoppers ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews where to buy their groceries is Costco. Trader Joe’s ranks second. Whole Foods ranks third. Aldi, H-E-B, and Wegmans are all punching far above what their physical footprint would predict.

“Market share is a lagging indicator. AI citation share is a leading indicator,” said Ronn Torossian, Founder and Chairman of 5W. “The grocers who close that gap in 2026 will define the category in 2030. Most grocery CMOs we talk to are running 2019 playbooks against 2026 consumer behavior.”

5W researchers ran more than 80 consumer-intent queries across 12 sub-categories — best overall grocery store, cheapest, highest-quality produce, best private label, best organic, best meal planning, best bulk, best delivery, best customer service, best regional, and others — across the four leading consumer AI platforms. Each retailer was scored on citation frequency, position within the answer, sentiment, and sub-category dominance.

The top 10: Costco, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Walmart, Kroger, Aldi, H-E-B, Publix, Wegmans, and Target.

Key structural findings:

Market share no longer predicts AI citation share. Walmart’s roughly 21 percent share translates to an estimated 8 to 10 percent AI citation share across premium query categories. The decoupling is the single largest such gap in American retail.Private label is the highest-leverage citation asset a grocer owns. Kirkland, Trader Joe’s, 365, Good & Gather, and Great Value are cited directly by name in AI answers at rates that exceed most national CPG brands.Regional loyalty translates directly into regional AI dominance. Regional chains outperform national chains in their home markets by 3x or more.Reddit and TikTok are under-priced citation surfaces. Perplexity pulls a majority of its answers from community sources. ChatGPT and Claude weight Reddit heavily.

The report also identifies six 2026 dynamics reshaping the category, including the new GLP-1 grocery basket, Aldi’s expansion as a citation-compounding program, and Walmart’s CEO transition from Doug McMillon to John Furner — effective February 1, 2026 — as a brand-narrative inflection point.

The full Index, including ranks 11 through 25 and sub-category breakdowns, is available as a free download at 5wpr.com/research.

About 5W

HelloNation Article Highlights Poughkeepsie’s Focus on Youth Investment, Neighborhood Parks and Sustainable Reuse

Published

on

By

The article examines how redevelopment projects and youth programs are reshaping community life across Poughkeepsie.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y., May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What does long term community growth look like when a city invests in both people and public spaces? HelloNation has published a HelloNation article that provides the answer through a detailed look at how Poughkeepsie is combining youth investment, neighborhood improvements and adaptive reuse projects to support residents and strengthen the city’s future.

The article explains that Poughkeepsie is undergoing a period of reinvention centered on infrastructure upgrades, youth programming and redevelopment along the city’s Northside. According to the article, local and county leaders are working to create spaces where residents can learn, gather and build stronger community connections. The article notes that these efforts are intended to improve quality of life while helping the city grow in a more sustainable and inclusive way.

A major focus of the article is the planned Youth Opportunity Union, also known as the YOU, a large multipurpose youth facility backed by Dutchess County. The HelloNation article describes the project as a 19,000 square foot center that will include childcare services, wellness support, tutoring areas, teaching kitchens and both indoor and outdoor recreation spaces. The article explains that the project reflects a larger regional effort to increase opportunities for children and teenagers in underserved communities.

The article also highlights additional youth centered investments connected to sports, education and recreation. According to the article, Dutchess County has awarded grants to local organizations serving young people between the ages of 6 and 17. The article further explains that Poughkeepsie’s City Parks program has introduced mini grants designed to support renovations and activities in neighborhood parks, including Pershing Avenue and Malcolm X parks.

Beyond youth programs, the article details how the city is working to improve transportation and neighborhood infrastructure. The HelloNation article explains that Poughkeepsie launched its first five year paving plan in 2025, beginning with major roadway improvements on Main Street and other corridors. The article states that these upgrades are intended to improve safety, durability and daily conditions for residents while supporting broader redevelopment goals throughout the city.

Another important part of the article focuses on adaptive reuse and environmental redevelopment on the Northside. The article describes how Scenic Hudson plans to transform the former Standard Gage Factory into the Northside Hub, a redevelopment project designed to serve as both a nonprofit headquarters and a community gathering space. According to the article, the project will feature solar powered operations, office space, public parkland and community facilities near the Walkway Over the Hudson and Dutchess Rail Trail.

The article also explains that Poughkeepsie’s selection as the Mid Hudson winner in New York’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative adds additional momentum to current redevelopment efforts. The HelloNation article notes that the funding will support new downtown projects that build on existing investments in youth programs, infrastructure and adaptive reuse. Together, these efforts are presented as part of a broader strategy to create long term stability and opportunity for local residents.

The article concludes that Poughkeepsie’s emerging identity is closely tied to projects that strengthen neighborhoods while supporting future generations. Poughkeepsie Puts Youth, Neighborhood Parks and Sustainable Reuse at the Center of Renewal features insights from HelloNation Staff Writer, community development coverage of Poughkeepsie, New York, in HelloNation.
