Mr. Kerry Xuefeng Chen, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of ATRenew, commented, “We are pleased to report another strong quarter for ATRenew. In the second quarter of 2026, total net revenues increased by 32.4% year-on-year to RMB6,609.3 million. This was achieved by leveraging our industry-leading supply chain value via a 1P business model. On the recycling side, we prioritized providing users with the best-in-class recycling and trade-in experience. On the processing side, we increased the proportion of compliant refurbished products, ensuring sufficient supply of value-for-money high-quality second-hand devices for both consumers and small and medium-sized businesses. Simultaneously, we expanded the distribution of quality-preowned products to serve diverse global markets, creating greater value for the global circulation of second-hand electronic products.”

Mr. Rex Chen, Chief Financial Officer of ATRenew, added, “While exceeding the high end of our revenue guidance, ATRenew once again achieved rapid profit growth. In the second quarter of 2026, adjusted income from operations grew by 70.1% year-on-year to RMB206.3 million. During this process, we focused on upgrading the capabilities and quality of AHS stores, strengthening door-to-door fulfillment capabilities on the recycling side, and optimizing the sales channels for our 1P products. Similarly, combining the characteristics of the second-hand industry, we prudently invested in brand marketing and adopted refined cost management in the middle and back offices, achieving continuous optimization of operating profit and maintaining our goal of creating long-term value for shareholders.”

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

REVENUE

Total net revenues increased by 32.4% to RMB6,609.3 million (US$974.1 million) from RMB4,991.5 million in the same period of 2025.

Net product revenues increased by 35.9% to RMB6,194.7 million (US$913.0 million) from RMB4,558.7 million in the same period of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the sales of pre-owned consumer electronics through the Company’s online channels.Net service revenues decreased by 4.2% to RMB414.6 million (US$61.1 million), compared to RMB432.8 million in the same period of 2025. This decrease was primarily due to the discretionary discounts on service fees provided to merchants during the extended 618 grand promotion event period.

OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES

Operating costs and expenses were RMB6,442.3 million (US$949.5 million), compared to RMB4,918.1 million in the same period of 2025, representing an increase of 31.0%.

Merchandise costs were RMB5,219.2 million (US$769.2 million), compared to RMB3,957.6 million in the same period of 2025, representing an increase of 31.9%. The increase was primarily due to the growth in product sales.Fulfillment expenses were RMB542.3 million (US$79.9 million), compared to RMB413.6 million in the same period of 2025, representing an increase of 31.1%. The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase in personnel costs driven by the growth of our business, (ii) an increase in logistics expense due to the growth in product sales, and (iii) an increase in operating center related expenses as the Company conducted more recycling and transaction activities compared with the same period of 2025.Selling and marketing expenses were RMB507.9 million (US$74.9 million), compared to RMB406.9 million in the same period of 2025, representing an increase of 24.8%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in commission expenses in relation to channel service fees, partially offset by a decrease in amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions, due to the maturity of major remaining intangible assets in the second quarter of 2025.General and administrative expenses were RMB95.7 million (US$14.1 million), compared to RMB77.5 million in the same period of 2025, representing an increase of 23.5%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel costs, sales tax and associated charges, and share-based compensation expenses, partially offset by a decrease in expected credit loss relating to credit risk.Research and development expenses were RMB77.2 million (US$11.4 million), compared to RMB62.5 million in the same period of 2025, representing an increase of 23.5%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel costs.

Exchange Rate Information

This announcement contains translations of certain RMB amounts into U.S. dollars at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise noted, all translations from RMB to U.S. dollars are made at a rate of RMB6.7851 to US$1.00, the exchange rate set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as of June 30, 2026.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company also uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating its business. For example, the Company uses adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per ordinary share as supplemental measures to review and assess its financial and operating performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted income from operations is income from operations excluding the share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions. Adjusted net income is net income excluding the share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions and tax effects of amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions. Adjusted net income per ordinary share is adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by weighted average number of shares used in calculating net income per ordinary share.

The Company presents non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by the Company’s management to evaluate the Company’s financial and operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company believes that adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income help identify underlying trends in the Company’s business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that are included in income from operations and net income. The Company also believes that the use of non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors’ assessment of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income provide useful information about the Company’s operating results, enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision making.

The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations. The share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions and tax effects of amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions have been and may continue to be incurred in the Company’s business and is not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures. Further, the non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP measures used by other companies, including peer companies, potentially limiting the comparability of their financial results to the Company’s. In light of the foregoing limitations, the non-GAAP financial measures for the period should not be considered in isolation from or as an alternative to income from operations, net income, and net income attributable to ordinary shareholders per share, or other financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measures, which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance. For reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the section of the accompanying tables titled, “Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results.”

AskGamblers Complaint Service Recovers Nearly $3.4 Million for Players in Q2 2026

Published

22 minutes ago

August 20, 2026

AskGamblers Complaint Service (AGCCS) delivered its strongest quarterly performance to date in Q2 2026, helping players recover nearly $3.4 million while reaching record levels of complaints, users, resolutions, and affected operators.

BELGRADE, Serbia, Aug. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AskGamblers Complaint Service (AGCCS) recorded a record-breaking Q2 2026, helping players recover approximately $3.4 million across casino, betting, and affiliate complaints.

Covering the period between 1 April and 30 June 2026, the latest AGCCS report shows strong growth across almost every key performance metric. During the quarter, the service processed 1,563 cases and successfully resolved 1,068 complaints, benefiting 3,649 users and involving 1,160 casinos, sportsbooks, and affiliates.

The biggest contribution came from the international casino segment, which accounted for approximately $3.25 million of the total recovered amount. The figure represents a significant increase from around $2.28 million recovered in Q2 2025 and $2.03 million in Q1 2026.

Real Cases, Real Player Impact

One Q2 case shows just how high the stakes can be when players turn to AGCCS for help.

A player filed a complaint against 1xBet Sportsbook over account verification issues and a disputed balance of $2,540,999. The player said their withdrawal had been blocked following a winning bet and that, despite providing multiple documents requested during the verification process, they were unable to access their funds for months.

After extensive mediation between the player, AskGamblers, and the sportsbook, the case was ultimately resolved and closed. The player later confirmed that they had successfully accessed their account and withdrawn all of their funds, bringing a six-month dispute to an end.

Reflecting on the resolution, the player thanked AskGamblers for its mediation, saying: “Thank you to AskGamblers for the mediation. It’s a shame 1xBet had to waste so much of my time and yours.”

The value of the service was echoed in feedback from another player during the quarter, who praised the AskGamblers Complaint Team for helping facilitate communication with a casino and ensuring their concern received proper attention.

“As a player, it is reassuring to know that there is an independent and trustworthy platform dedicated to protecting player interests and promoting fair resolutions between casinos and their customers,” the player said, adding that the team’s “professionalism, transparency, and commitment” throughout the process were particularly appreciated.

Commenting on the quarter, Dijana Radunović, General Manager at AskGamblers, said: “Q2 was an exceptional quarter for AGCCS, but what stands out to me is not just the $3.4 million recovered. We also saw more players turn to us, more complaints being handled, and more cases successfully resolved. Behind every number is a player who came to us looking for help with a problem they couldn’t resolve on their own. Our focus remains the same – helping players get answers, resolving disputes where possible, and encouraging greater accountability across the industry.”

With recovered funds and user numbers reaching their highest levels across the three comparison periods, Q2 2026 marks a particularly strong quarter for AGCCS. The results underline the continued demand for player support and the importance of accessible complaint resolution within the iGaming industry.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This announcement contains statements of a forward-looking nature. These statements are made under the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can identify these forward-looking statements by terminology such as “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates” and similar expressions. In addition, statements that are not historical facts, including statements about NetEase’s strategies and business plans, its expectations regarding the growth of its business and its revenue and the quotations from management in this announcement are or contain forward-looking statements. NetEase may also make forward-looking statements in its periodic reports to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in announcements made on the website of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Hong Kong Stock Exchange”), in press releases and other written materials and in oral statements made by its officers, directors or employees to third parties. The accuracy of these statements may be impacted by a number of business risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated, including risks related to: the risk that the online games market will not continue to grow or that NetEase will not be able to maintain its position in that market in China or globally; risks associated with NetEase’s business and operating strategies and its ability to implement such strategies; NetEase’s ability to develop and manage its operations and business; competition for, among other things, capital, technology and skilled personnel; potential changes in regulatory environment in the markets where NetEase operates, including policy or rule changes on taxation; the risk that NetEase may not be able to continuously develop new and creative online services or that NetEase will not be able to set, or follow in a timely manner, trends in the market; risks related to evolving economic cycles and geopolitical tensions, including the direct or indirect impacts of national trade, investment, protectionist, tax or other laws or policies as well as export controls and economic or trade sanctions; risks related to the expansion of NetEase’s businesses and operations internationally; risks associated with cybersecurity threats or incidents; and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that could adversely affect NetEase’s business and financial results. Further information regarding these and other risks is included in NetEase’s filings with the SEC and announcements on the website of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. NetEase does not undertake any obligation to update this forward-looking information, except as required under applicable law.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

NetEase considers and uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS and per share, as supplemental metrics in reviewing and assessing its operating performance and formulating its business plan. 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.

NetEase defines non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders as net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders enables NetEase’s management to assess its operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation expenses. NetEase believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the Company’s current operating performance and prospects in the same manner as management does, if they so choose. NetEase also believes that the use of this non-GAAP financial measure facilitates investors’ assessment of its operating performance.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders is that it does not reflect all items of expense/income that affect the Company’s operations. Share-based compensation expenses have been and may continue to be incurred in NetEase’s business and are not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures NetEase uses may differ from the non-GAAP measures used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.

NetEase compensates for these limitations by reconciling non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance. NetEase encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

The unaudited reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results is set out as follows in RMB and US$ (in thousands, except per share data or per ADS data):

Mercuryo Boosts Crypto Purchase Conversion by 75% with a Frictionless UX

Published

22 minutes ago

August 20, 2026

In-house data reveals sharp rise in digital token buying after Mercuryo simplified its on-ramp experience, removing hurdles in the customer journey.

LONDON, Aug. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Global payments infrastructure platform Mercuryo has significantly reduced customer drop-off after streamlining its crypto on-ramp process for fiat-to-crypto purchases into a few simple steps.

Mercuryo’s dedicated team is driven by delivering a user experience (UX) on a par with a neobank and the efforts have achieved impressive results: The company reported a 75 per cent year-on-year increase in its overall conversion rate in the first half of 2026, rising from 12 per cent in the first half of 2025 to 21 per cent.

This increase in completion rates addresses a persistent structural challenge in crypto of retaining customers for the full duration of a transaction that can still feel cumbersome and unintuitive to some. The 2023 Global Crypto Onramp Report found that more than 50 per cent of fiat-to-crypto transactions failed, even after users had completed KYC. Abandonment during the purchase flow could reach as high as 90 per cent, highlighting the importance of improving the full customer journey rather than focusing only on compliance or payment approval.

The report found that transaction success rates varied significantly according to factors including the user’s location, fiat currency, cryptocurrency, payment method, transaction amount and on-ramp provider. Europe recorded the highest average success rates in the study, while Africa and South America recorded the lowest. The report also found that local payment methods and bank transfers generally performed better than credit or debit card payments, although performance varied by market and transaction type.

Mercuryo’s analysis shows that abandonment is most likely to occur before a payment is submitted and declines considerably once payment has been initiated. This highlights the importance of optimizing the entire customer journey, including the steps that precede payment, rather than focusing solely on compliance, verification or payment acceptance.

Clear navigation, streamlined steps, relevant payment options and checkout experiences adapted to each user’s device and market can all make it easier to complete a transaction. Mercuryo has continued to refine these elements across its on-ramp service, helping customers move smoothly from initial intent to completed purchase.

“An incessant focus on improving the UX for our customer base is delivering tangible benefits as we see a significant reduction in customer drop-off at the pre-payment stage,” said Ashna Vaghela, Chief Customer Officer at Mercuryo. “We’re acutely mindful that customers expect the on-ramp process to be clear, intuitive and suited to the way they want to purchase digital tokens. Removing unnecessary complexity while making the on-ramp process seamless is key if the Web3 space is to achieve mass adoption.”

For wallets, exchanges and other digital platforms embedding payment flows, the results underscore the commercial importance of checkout design. Offering appropriate payment methods, adapting flows to local preferences and making every stage clear and intuitive can help platforms improve conversion and support the wider adoption of digital assets.

As digital assets become more closely integrated with mainstream financial services, users increasingly expect buying and selling crypto to feel as familiar as any other online payment. Mercuryo’s results show how pairing an effortless user experience with robust payments and compliance infrastructure can help the industry meet that expectation.

Mercuryo is a first-mover and innovator in the fast-evolving Web3 space, providing a variety of payment solutions along with seamless on-chain integration. Mercuryo’s intuitive solutions are simplifying the experience for newcomers to the digital token space. Mercuryo specialises in efficient capital flow in the DeFi ecosystem and combines various payment solutions into a single interface.
