Mr. Huapeng Wu, Chief Executive Officer of Chindata Group, commented, “Despite the headwind in macro environment and COVID related issues, we continued to manage the challenges and grow our business. Our total capacity reached 704MW by the end of the first quarter, making Chindata one of the largest IDC service providers in the entire APAC emerging market. We kept proceeding with our delivery schedule, putting two projects of 58MW into service. Thanks to our healthy client profile, we continued our steady ramp-up by adding 40MW utilized capacity in the first quarter, representing a 45% YoY growth. COVID-related control measures did create challenges, and we’ve been responding to these challenges actively as a trusted partner of our clients. Thanks to our differentiated geographic layout and unique business model, we managed to keep the impact within a very limited range. Our growth plan is being well executed. In APAC emerging market, we continued to proceed with our MY06 project in Malaysia. We are also delighted to have completed the Thailand business acquisition, which marked a further step on top of our existing 117MW capacity to further expand in the region.”

Revenue in the first quarter was RMB920.6 million, representing a 43.1% YoY growth. Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter was RMB494.5 million, representing a 60.7% YoY growth with a historical-high margin of 53.7%. Net income for the first quarter was RMB94.6 million, achieving net profit performance for five consecutive quarters with a margin of 10.3%. These performances again showcased the efficiency, economy of scale and healthy client profile that we enjoyed under our cornerstone green-field hyperscale business model. We’ve also finalized a 500 million USD syndicated loan financing recently, which will further support the growth of the Company in the future. With the strong confidence in our business momentum going forward, we are raising our full year 2022 guidance for both top line and bottom line.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Chindata Group’s consolidated financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Chindata Group uses adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income and adjusted net income margin as non-GAAP financial measure. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results as they do not include all items that impact its net loss or income for the period, and are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s financial performance. A limitation of using the non-GAAP financial measure is that the non-GAAP measure exclude certain items that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant component in the Company’s results of operations. The non-GAAP financial measure presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company’s data.

Exchange Rate Information

Unless otherwise stated, all translations from Renminbi into U.S. dollars were made at RMB6.3393 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate on March 31, 2022 as set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board.
