      Conference Call to Be Held at 7:30 A.M. U.S. Eastern Time on November 21, 2023

      GUANGZHOU, China, Nov. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Yatsen Holding Limited ("Yatsen" or the "Company") (NYSE: YSG), a leading China-based beauty group, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, and upsizing and extension of the share repurchase program.

      Third Quarter 2023 Highlights

      • Total net revenues for the third quarter of 2023 decreased by 16.3% to RMB718.1 million (US$98.4 million) from RMB857.9 million for the prior year period.
      • Total net revenues from Skincare Brands[1] for the third quarter of 2023 decreased by 4.1% to RMB258.5 million (US$35.4 million) from RMB269.4 million for the prior year period. As a percentage of total net revenues, total net revenues from Skincare Brands for the third quarter of 2023 increased to 36.0% from 31.4% for the prior year period.
      • Gross margin for the third quarter of 2023 was 71.4%, as compared with 68.9% for the prior year period.
      • Net loss for the third quarter of 2023 decreased by 6.1% to RMB197.9 million (US$27.1 million) from RMB210.7 million for the prior year period. Non-GAAP net loss[2] for the third quarter of 2023 increased by 3.0% to RMB130.2 million (US$17.9 million) from RMB126.5 million for the prior year period.

      Mr. Jinfeng Huang, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yatsen, stated, "China's beauty industry continued to recover modestly in the third quarter. Amid uncertainties in consumer demand, we remained focused on building strong brand equity based on superior product performance and consumer satisfaction. Our clinical and premium skincare brands, including Galénic, DR.WU and Eve Lom, recorded growth in combined net revenues for another quarter. Meanwhile, we upgraded Perfect Diary through a series of campaigns to reposition the brand with a refreshed visual identity and new product launches. Looking ahead, we will continue to adapt flexibly and proceed with our strategic transformation."

      Mr. Donghao Yang, Director and Chief Financial Officer of Yatsen, commented, "Our third-quarter total net revenues are in line with our previous guidance, indicating that our strategic transformation is largely on track. Our three major skincare brands recorded year-over-year growth of 7.4% in combined net revenues, while net revenues from our skincare brands overall declined year-over-year mostly due to our strategic decision to phase out the Abby's Choice brand. Furthermore, our gross margin improved to 71.4% in the third quarter from 68.9% in the prior year period. Net loss margin in the third quarter expanded to 27.6% mainly due to increased investments in the Perfect Diary brand upgrade and preparations for the Double 11 Shopping Festival. With cash, restricted cash and short-term investments of RMB2.24 billion, we are confident in our resources and ability to advance our strategic plan going forward."

      Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

      Net Revenues

      Total net revenues for the third quarter of 2023 decreased by 16.3% to RMB718.1 million (US$98.4 million) from RMB857.9 million for the prior year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to a 21.5% year-over-year decrease in net revenues from Color Cosmetics Brands[3], combined with a 4.1% year-over-year decrease in net revenues from Skincare Brands.

      Gross Profit and Gross Margin

      Gross profit for the third quarter of 2023 decreased by 13.3% to RMB512.8 million (US$70.3 million) from RMB591.3 million for the prior year period. Gross margin for the third quarter of 2023 increased to 71.4% from 68.9% for the prior year period. The increase was driven by (i) increasing sales of higher-gross margin products from Skincare Brands, (ii) more disciplined pricing and discount policies and (iii) cost optimization across all of the Company's brand portfolios.

      Operating Expenses

      Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2023 decreased by 13.1% to RMB744.3 million (US$102.0 million) from RMB857.0 million for the prior year period. As a percentage of total net revenues, total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2023 were 103.6%, as compared with 99.9% for the prior year period.

      • Fulfillment Expenses. Fulfillment expenses for the third quarter of 2023 were RMB56.0 million (US$7.7 million), as compared with RMB63.8 million for the prior year period. As a percentage of total net revenues, fulfillment expenses for the third quarter of 2023 increased to 7.8% from 7.4% for the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to the deleveraging effect of lower net revenues in the third quarter of 2023.
      • Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses for the third quarter of 2023 were RMB511.7 million (US$70.1 million), as compared with RMB564.8 million for the prior year period. As a percentage of total net revenues, selling and marketing expenses for the third quarter of 2023 increased to 71.3% from 65.8% for the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to increased investments in the Perfect Diary brand upgrade and preparations for the Double 11 Shopping Festival.
      • General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2023 were RMB151.8 million (US$20.8 million), as compared with RMB194.5 million for the prior year period. As a percentage of total net revenues, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2023 decreased to 21.1% from 22.7% for the prior year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in compensation corresponding to a decrease in general and administrative headcount.
      • Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses for the third quarter of 2023 were RMB24.7 million (US$3.4 million), as compared with RMB33.9 million for the prior year period. As a percentage of total net revenues, research and development expenses for the third quarter of 2023 decreased to 3.4% from 3.9% for the prior year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to the Company's efforts to maintain research and development expenses at a reasonable level relative to total net revenues.

      Loss from Operations

      Loss from operations for the third quarter of 2023 decreased by 12.9% to RMB231.5 million (US$31.7 million) from RMB265.7 million for the prior year period. Operating loss margin was 32.2%, as compared with 31.0% for the prior year period.

      Non-GAAP loss from operations[4] for the third quarter of 2023 increased by 1.2% to RMB164.6 million (US$22.6 million) from RMB162.6 million for the prior year period. Non-GAAP operating loss margin was 22.9%, as compared with 19.0% for the prior year period.

      Net Loss

      Net loss for the third quarter of 2023 decreased by 6.1% to RMB197.9 million (US$27.1 million) from RMB210.7 million for the prior year period. Net loss margin was 27.6%, as compared with 24.6% for the prior year period. Net loss attributable to Yatsen's ordinary shareholders per diluted ADS[5] for the third quarter of 2023 was RMB0.36 (US$0.05), as compared with RMB0.37 for the prior year period.

      Non-GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2023 increased by 3.0% to RMB130.2 million (US$17.9 million) from RMB126.5 million for the prior year period. Non-GAAP net loss margin was 18.1%, as compared with 14.7% for the prior year period. Non-GAAP net loss attributable to Yatsen's ordinary shareholders per diluted ADS[6] for the third quarter of 2023 was RMB0.24 (US$0.03), as compared with RMB0.22 for the prior year period.

      Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

      As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash, restricted cash and short-term investments of RMB2.24 billion (US$307.0 million), as compared with RMB2.63 billion as of December 31, 2022.

      Net cash used in operating activities for the third quarter of 2023 was RMB163.4 million (US$22.4 million), compared with net cash generated from operating activities of RMB21.8 million for the prior year period.

      Business Outlook

      For the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company expects its total net revenues to be between RMB1.01 billion and RMB1.06 billion, representing a 0% to 5% increase year-over-year. These forecasts reflect the Company's current and preliminary views on the market and operational conditions, which are subject to change.

      Upsizing and Extension of Share Repurchase Program

      As previously announced in November 2021 and August 2022, the Company established and modified a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to US$150.0 million worth of its ordinary shares (including in the form of ADSs) through August 25, 2024 (the "Share Repurchase Program"). From the launch of the Share Repurchase Program on November 17, 2021 to November 19, 2023, the Company in aggregate purchased approximately 100.0 million ADSs for an aggregate consideration of approximately US$126.5 million (inclusive of broker commissions) under the Share Repurchase Program.

      On November 20, 2023, the Company's board of directors approved and authorized a change to the size and term of the Share Repurchase Program, increasing the aggregate value of shares that may be repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program from US$150.0 million to US$200.0 million and extending the effective term of the Share Repurchase Program through November 19, 2025. The Company's proposed repurchases may be made from time to time through open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades and/or through other legally permissible means, depending on the market conditions and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The Company's board of directors will review the Share Repurchase Program periodically, and may authorize further adjustment of its terms and size. The Company expects to fund the repurchases with its existing cash balance.

      Exchange Rate

      This announcement contains translations of certain Renminbi ("RMB") amounts into U.S. dollars ("US$") at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise noted, all translations from RMB to US$ were made at a rate of RMB7.2960 to US$1.00, the exchange rate in effect as of September 29, 2023, as set forth in the H.10 statistical release of The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The Company makes no representation that any RMB or US$ amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ or RMB, as the case may be, at any particular rate, or at all.

      Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

      The Company uses non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders and non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders per diluted ADS, each a non-GAAP financial measure, in reviewing and assessing its 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. The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by the management to evaluate operating performance and formulate business plans. Non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business, provide further information about its results of operations, and enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects. The Company defines non-GAAP income (loss) from operations as income (loss) from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions. The Company defines non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income (loss) excluding (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions, (iii) revaluation of investments on the share of equity method investments, and (iv) tax effects on non-GAAP adjustments. The Company defines non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders as net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions, (iii) revaluation of investments on the share of equity method investments, (iv) tax effects on non-GAAP adjustments and (v) accretion to redeemable non-controlling interests. Non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders per diluted ADS is computed using non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by weighted average number of diluted ADS outstanding for computing diluted earnings per ADS.

      However, the non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools as the non-GAAP financial measures are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating performance. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. Reconciliations of Yatsen's non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure are included at the end of this press release.
