BEIJING, China, June 30, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Luckin Coffee Inc. (“Luckin Coffee” or the “Company”) (OTC: LKNCY) today announced its restated unaudited financial results for the second and third quarters ended June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019, as well as the unaudited results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2019.

Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 to our Quarterly Reports on Form 6-K for the quarterly periods ended June 30 and September 30, 2019 (this “Quarterly Report on Form 6-K/A”) is being filed to amend and restate certain items presented in our Quarterly Reports on Form 6-K for the quarterly periods ended June 30 and September 30, 2019, which were initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 14, 2019 and November 13, 2019, respectively (the “Original Form 6-K”). This Quarterly Report on Form 6-K/A includes: (1) our restated unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for three months ended June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019; (2) our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the three months (unaudited) and twelve months ended December 31, 2019; and (3) our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations as of and for the three months (unaudited) ended December 31, 2019.

See below “Restatement of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in the notes to the  unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 6-K/A for a detailed discussion of the effect of the restatement.

Immediately following the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 6-K/A, Luckin Coffee expects to file its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Annual Report”) with expanded financial and other disclosures. The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of our operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the 2019 Annual Report.

The Company continues to work expeditiously with its auditor to file its annual report for the period ended December 31, 2020 as soon as possible.

Background of Restatement

On March 19, 2020, in light of certain issues raised to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) during the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, the Board formed a special committee (the “Special Committee”) to oversee an internal investigation (the “Internal Investigation”). The Special Committee retained Kirkland & Ellis as its independent advisor, which was assisted by FTI Consulting as an independent forensic accounting expert, in connection with the Internal Investigation.

1

On July 1, 2020, the Company announced that the Special Committee has substantially completed the Internal Investigation. Based on its work, the Special Committee found that the fabrication of transactions (the “Fabricated Transactions”) began in April 2019 and that, as a result, the Company’s net revenue in 2019 was inflated by approximately RMB2.12 billion and its costs and expenses were inflated by RMB1.34 billion in 2019. See below “Restatement of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”.

COMPANY STATEMENT

We have worked diligently to remediate the accounting issues that have delayed our financial filings and led to the review and correction of our historical financial information,” said Dr. Jinyi Guo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Luckin Coffee.  “Today, we have a new leadership team and a viable plan that is driving growth for Luckin Coffee and long-term value creation for our shareholders.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP measures, such as non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per ADS, as supplemental measures to review and assess 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company defines non-GAAP operating loss as operating loss excluding share-based compensation expenses. The Company defines non-GAAP net loss as net loss excluding share-based compensation expenses and change in fair value of warrant liability. The Company defines non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per ADS as non-GAAP net loss attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders and angel shareholders divided by weighted average number of basic and diluted ADS.

The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business by excluding change in the fair value of warrant liability and the impact of share-based compensation expenses, both of which are non-cash charge. The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures could provide further information about the Company’s results of operations, enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects.

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. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations and do not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Further, these non-GAAP measures 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 you to review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to the Most Directly Comparable GAAP Measures” set forth at the end of this press release.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

LUCKIN COFFEE INC.

UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF COMPREHENSIVE

LOSS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND JUNE 30 (RESTATED), SEPTEMBER 30 (RESTATED) AND DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2019

(Amounts in thousands of RMB and US$, except for number of shares and per share data)

* In the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the three months ended June 30 (restated), September 30 (restated) and December 31, 2019, the eliminated impact directly regarding Fabricated Transactions included inflated net revenue of approximately RMB2.12 billion (consisting of RMB0.25 billion in the second quarter, RMB0.70 billion in the third quarter, and RMB1.17 billion in the fourth quarter), and inflated costs and expenses of approximately RMB1.34 billion (consisting of RMB0.15 billion in the second quarter, RMB0.52 billion in the third quarter, and RMB0.67 billion in the fourth quarter), which were consistent with the result that Special Committee concluded based on the Independent Investigation. Besides, the Company also identified some other changes of estimations and assumptions based on the facts that were indirectly caused by Fabricated Transactions to improve the fairness of financial statements, giving rise to further adjustments of approximately RMB0.03 billion, RMB0.01 billion to unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the three months ended June 30 (restated) and September 30 (restated), 2019, respectively.

1  Loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2019, September 30, 2019, December 31, 2019 and twelve months ended December 31, 2019 is computed using the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding as of June 30, 2019, September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2019 separately, including the automatic conversion of all of the Company’s Ordinary Shares, Angel-1 Shares and Angel-2 Shares (collectively as the “Angel Shares”), Series A convertible redeemable preferred shares, Series B convertible redeemable preferred shares and Series B-1 convertible redeemable preferred shares (collectively as the “Preferred Shares”) into Class A and Class B ordinary shares immediately prior to the completion of the IPO at the conversion ratio of 1:1 (the “Conversion”)  and after 1:500 share split. Upon the completion of the IPO, ordinary shares included Class A and Class B ordinary shares. Basic and diluted loss per share are not reported separately for different classes of ordinary shares as each class of shares had the same rights to profits and losses. Prior to the completion of the IPO, the outstanding ordinary shares consisted of Ordinary Shares and Angel Shares. The 1-to-500 share split was retrospectively applied to the Ordinary Shares and Angel Shares before the Conversion, which were used in the calculation of weighted average number of shares outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and twelve months ended December 31, 2018.
