- Operating Costs: Total costs and expenses climbed to RMB4,077.9 million from RMB3,114.9 million in the same quarter of the previous year, largely due to increased rider costs from a higher volume of delivery orders.
- Net Losses: The Company experienced a significant net loss of RMB1,282.4 million in the fourth quarter, widening from a loss of RMB370.6 million in Q4 2022. Non-GAAP net loss also increased slightly to RMB159.1 million from RMB179.2 million in the prior year.

- Segment Growth: JDDJ's annual revenue increased by 4.5% to RMB6,491.8 million, while Dada Now's revenue jumped by 27.1% to RMB4,014.5 million, showcasing strong growth in intra-city delivery services.
- Expense Management: While total annual costs and expenses rose to RMB12,678.6 million, selling and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses saw decreases, indicating effective cost management.
- Operational Losses: The fiscal year concluded with an operating loss of RMB2,108.5 million, marginally better than the RMB2,119.5 million loss in 2022. Non-GAAP losses showed notable improvement, with a reduction to RMB487.8 million from RMB1,432.7 million the previous year.
Outlook and Strategic Movements
The financial results for Dada Nexus Limited in both the fourth quarter and the entire fiscal year of 2023 reflect a mix of challenges and achievements. While the Company faced increased operational costs and net losses, it also saw revenue growth in its core segments. The improvement in Non-GAAP losses suggests that the company is moving towards a more sustainable financial path. Dada's strategic focus on enhancing its delivery services and optimizing its cost structure may continue to drive growth and efficiency in the upcoming fiscal periods.
