Wednesday, Nov 20, 2024 3:08 am ET
ATRenew Inc. (NYSE: RERE), a leading technology-driven pre-owned consumer electronics transactions and services platform in China, recently announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter of 2024. The company reported robust growth in revenues and consumer product transactions, reflecting the increasing adoption of pre-owned consumer electronics and sustainable consumption habits among Chinese consumers.
The company's total net revenues grew by 24.4% year-over-year to RMB4,051.2 million (US$577.3 million), driven primarily by a 25.6% increase in net product revenues. This growth was predominantly attributable to the sales of pre-owned consumer electronics through both online and offline channels. The number of consumer products transacted also surged to 9.1 million, a 10.7% increase from the same period in 2023.
ATRenew's trade-in services and recycling initiatives significantly contributed to this growth. The widespread adoption of these services, which provide consumers with a seamless experience and competitive pricing, drove the increase in consumer product transactions. The company's AHS stores, serving as the preferred destination for users to recycle reusable consumer products and purchase quality-assured, value-for-money pre-owned electronic devices, played a crucial role in this success.

The multi-category recycling business also played a significant role in driving the overall increase in consumer product transactions. In the third quarter of 2024, ATRenew reported a nearly 400% year-over-year increase in GMV for this business, serving as a main driver of platform business growth.
ATRenew's adjusted income from operations (non-GAAP) for Q3 2024 was RMB104.0 million (US$14.8 million), a significant increase from RMB73.8 million in the same period last year. This growth reflects the company's successful initiatives to optimize operating expenses and the diminishing impact of amortization expenses from historical acquisitions.
In conclusion, ATRenew Inc. demonstrated strong performance in the third quarter of 2024, with robust growth in revenues and consumer product transactions. The company's focus on consumer electronics trade-in services, recycling initiatives, and multi-category recycling business contributed to this success. As the demand for pre-owned consumer electronics and sustainable consumption habits continues to grow, ATRenew is well-positioned to capitalize on these trends and maintain its leading position in the market.
