BUSINESS REVIEW AND OUTLOOK
Company Financial Highlights
For the full year of 2025, our revenues increased by 8.1% to RMB364.9 billion from RMB337.6 billion in 2024. Our loss was RMB23.4 billion in 2025, as compared to a profit of RMB35.8 billion in 2024. Our total segment operating profit decreased year over year from profit of RMB45.1 billion to loss of RMB17.0 billion. Due to the intensified industry competition, the operating profit of our Core Local Commerce segment significantly declined and turned to negative RMB6.9 billion in 2025 on a year-over-year basis. Meanwhile, the operating loss for our New Initiatives segment expanded to RMB10.1 billion in 2025 due to the increased investments in overseas businesses on a year-over-year basis. As a result, our adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net profit decreased year over year to negative RMB13.8 billion and negative RMB18.6 billion in 2025, respectively. We held cash and cash equivalents of RMB106.8 billion and short-term treasury investments of RMB60.1 billion as of December 31, 2025.
Company Business Highlights
In 2025, we strengthened our comprehensive and cost-effective supply system through deeper penetration and continuous innovation on the supply-side. This enabled us to accurately address consumers' integrated needs across food delivery, quick commerce, and services retail, while further strengthening our positioning as a one-stop local services platform. We expanded collaboration with restaurant merchants to drive innovations in products, store formats, and channels. For instance, our Branded Satellite Stores ("品牌衛星店") have partnered with over 1,000 brands, becoming a key growth engine for brand merchants to achieve efficient expansion. Meanwhile, we scaled Raccoon Kitchen ("浣熊食堂"), which now covers over 500 brands and stores, establishing a fully traceable and trustworthy food delivery model. We also continued to work closely with merchants to launch high-quality, cost-effective mega-hit products through initiatives such as Pin Hao Fan ("拼好飯") and Shen Qiang Shou ("神搶手"), serving a wider consumer base. We deepened our presence in the quick commerce supply chain, reinforcing our role as a strategic partner for leading brands in sports, liquor and beverages, 3C electronics, and home appliances in their omnichannel development. We continued to deepen our presence and extend our footprint across the supply chain. Our innovative supply formats, including Meituan InstaMarts ("美团閃電倉") and Branded Flagship InstaMarts ("品牌官旗閃電倉"), alongside our self-operated Xiaoxiang Supermarket ("小象超市") front warehouses, have emerged as important supply pillars for quick commerce. Waima Songjiu ("歪馬送酒") has also achieved robust growth, and collaborated with top liquor brands to launch popular products successfully. We further expanded our medicine and health supply capabilities. We improved the accessibility of common household medicines at local pharmacies, and enriched the supply of medical devices and other categories via front warehouses. We also partnered with pharmaceutical companies to introduce innovative drugs on our platform. In addition, we promoted the digital transformation of elderly care services. Xiaoxiang Supermarket accelerated its city expansion pace during the fourth quarter of 2025. Over the past several years, Xiaoxiang Supermarket has established a robust and comprehensive supply chain, continuously upgraded the quality of fresh produce offerings, and developed industry-leading product competitiveness and operational capabilities. Our private label now covers a wider range of categories, and its GTV contribution has maintained a steady upward trend. For in-store, hotel & travel, we strengthened our supply, and expanded the coverage and influence of our high-quality merchant recommendation lists. Our Safe-series programs ("安心系列"), which effectively enhance information transparency and safeguard consumer rights, have been extended to categories including education and fitness. We captured emerging consumption trends and expanded our footprint in sports events, cultural and art ticketing, home services and other areas. We also supported over a million individual artisans to build digital profiles on our platform to connect with merchants and consumers, further enriching our differentiated supply ecosystem.
During the year, we placed strong emphasis on elevating our comprehensive service capabilities. We improved user experience across our platform through continuous product refinement and membership program enhancement. We upgraded and expanded coverage of our On-time Guarantee (“準時寶”) and One-on-One Express Delivery (“1對1急送”) services, delivering more reliable and premium fulfillment services to consumers. We also launched the industry's first full-cycle service assurance program for the quick commerce industry in collaboration with millions of merchants and brands, setting higher industry standards in user experience, fulfillment, delivery, and after-sales support. Key measures included free return shipping for high-tier members or selected brand products. In addition, we strengthened the reliability of our online healthcare services, expanding access to online consultation with doctors from Grade 3A hospitals, and enhanced verification and service protection for dental care, medical aesthetics, and other related services. These enhanced service capabilities were deeply integrated with our upgraded Meituan Membership (“美团會員”). We introduced a full range of exclusive member benefits to better serve our core users across diverse consumption scenarios, including food delivery, hotel bookings, lifestyle services, mobility, and healthcare. The enriched member privileges significantly improved user engagement and transaction frequency, driving a notable upward shift in membership tiers. As a result, our high-value member base has continued to grow steadily, accompanied by meaningful increases in both transaction frequency and spending. They have also expanded their purchases across a broader array of product and service categories. Our continuously refined Meituan Membership program provides robust multi-dimensional support, driving enhanced traffic operations and transaction growth, while facilitating cross-selling across various businesses and consumption scenarios within the Core Local Commerce segment. As a result, we further solidified our leading position in user structure and consumer mindshare amid a fierce competition environment.
Building on our enhanced core competencies, we continued to invest in ecosystem development, driving the high-quality growth of the local services industry. We remained dedicated to supporting the sustainable development of small and medium-sized merchants through additional support funds, the promotion of the Bright Kitchen program (“明廚亮灶”), and the empowerment of merchant operations via AI-enabled solutions. We strived to foster the healthy development of the food service industry and address structural challenges such as marketing involution and food safety governance. In 2025, our support fund programs assisted over 500,000 merchants in alleviating operational pressures from irrational industry competition, rolling out Bright Kitchens, and exploring new growth opportunities through online storefront decorations and product and service upgrades. Meituan’s AI Merchant Assistant also helped more than 3.4 million merchants effectively reduce operational costs. In terms of courier protection, we took the industry lead in achieving nationwide coverage of our pension insurance subsidy program, the first pension program in the industry covering all types of couriers. Our occupational injury insurance program was extended to 17 provinces and cities, covering over 16 million couriers. Meanwhile, we continued to enhance the multi-tiered welfare system for couriers across healthcare, education, housing, and other areas.
For overseas expansion, Keeta accelerated its global footprint and delivered good growth momentum in 2025. In Hong Kong, Keeta further solidified its market position and achieved positive unit economics in the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, in Saudi Arabia, Keeta sustained rapid order growth throughout the year and has become one of the most popular platforms among local consumers, underpinned by its high-quality service. In the second half of 2025, we expanded into Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Brazil, all of which have demonstrated strong growth momentum since launch.
7
Moreover, in 2025, we were committed to driving the AI transformation of the physical world by integrating AI innovation with our proven service advantages in the physical space. Over the years, we have made significant investments in AI technology. We combined the strengths of our self-developed multi-modal LongCat series large language models and open-source models. We also leveraged Meituan's unique digital assets, including extensive merchant information, high-quality diverse offerings, real consumption behavior, and user reviews. We first launched Xiaomei ("小美"), a smart life assistant, as a standalone App. Additionally, we have rolled out Xiaotuan ("小团"), our AI assistant embedded in the Meituan App, to all users. We have integrated AI technology across consumption scenarios on Meituan, covering all categories of local services on our platform. Xiaotuan will fundamentally transform consumer interaction with mobile Apps, evolving from searching to making request. Drawing on Meituan's rich supply and strong fulfillment capabilities, together with our mature native interface within the Meituan App, Xiaotuan delivers consumers a brand-new, practical, and superior user experience.
Company Outlook and Strategy for 2026
Amid a complex external environment and intense industry competition, we remained committed to strengthening our long-term core competencies and promoting the healthy and sustainable development of the industry. Going forward, we intend to further unlock the growth potential and solidify the competitive advantages of our Core Local Commerce segment. We will deepen supply chain penetration, elevate service quality, enhance Meituan Membership, and make strategic investments in our ecosystem. Our goal is to further strengthen our position as the preferred local services platform for consumers, while driving the high-quality and efficient development of the industry. Meanwhile, grocery retail and overseas expansion represent long-term growth opportunities with clear strategic value, which we will actively pursue with disciplined investment. Keeta will continue to leverage its core strengths in product development, technological innovation and operational excellence to create value for local merchants and consumers around the world. More importantly, we will firmly implement our "Retail + Technology" corporate strategy by proactively embracing AI. We aim to develop a versatile AI assistant for local services by integrating the strengths of our self-developed multi-modal LongCat series large language models and open-source models, while harnessing our unique digital assets, including extensive merchant data, real-life consumption behavior and authentic user reviews. Throughout, we will remain committed to our mission – "We help people eat better, live better" – and strive to deliver tangible value for all our ecosystem participants.

Our revenues from the Core Local Commerce segment decreased by 1.1% to RMB64.8 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025 from RMB65.6 billion for the same period of 2024. The solid growth of number of transactions and GTV was recorded, which was driven by a sequential growth in annual purchase frequency, coupled with cross-selling among our different services. The modest decline in our revenues was primarily driven by the elevated incentives deducted from revenues, as we enhanced marketing and promotional efforts to strengthen brand awareness and price competitiveness, thereby continuously improving user transaction activity and engagement in response to the intensified competition.
Our revenues from the New Initiatives segment increased by 18.9% to RMB27.3 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025 from RMB22.9 billion for the same period of 2024, despite the impact of discontinuation for Meituan Select ("美团優選").
Costs and Expenses
The following table sets forth a breakdown of our costs and expenses by function for the periods indicated:
| | Unaudited
Three Months Ended | | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | December 31, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 | |
| | Amount | As a percentage of revenues | Amount | As a percentage of revenues |
| | (RMB in thousands, except for percentages) | | | |
| Costs and Expenses: | | | | |
| Cost of revenues | 67,969,156 | 73.8% | 55,043,149 | 62.2% |
| Selling and marketing expenses | 31,725,691 | 34.4% | 17,301,322 | 19.6% |
| Research and development expenses | 7,029,303 | 7.6% | 5,420,285 | 6.1% |
| General and administrative expenses | 3,652,661 | 4.0% | 2,938,189 | 3.3% |
Cost of Revenues
Our cost of revenues increased by 23.5% to RMB68.0 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025 from RMB55.0 billion for the same period of 2024, and increased by 11.6 percentage points to 73.8% from 62.2% as a percentage of revenues on a year-over-year basis. The increase in amount was primarily due to the increased Number of On-demand Delivery transactions, higher courier incentives, expansion of our grocery retail businesses and overseas businesses. The increase in cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was mainly due to more incentives deducted from revenues, higher courier incentives and enriched benefits for couriers to ensure service quality amid the intensified competition, together with the more investments in overseas businesses, partially offset by the improved operating efficiency of grocery retail businesses.
12
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Our selling and marketing expenses increased by 83.4% to RMB31.7 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025 from RMB17.3 billion for the fourth quarter of 2024, and increased by 14.8 percentage points to 34.4% from 19.6% as a percentage of revenues on a year-over-year basis. Both the increases in amount and as a percentage of revenues were primarily driven by our enhancing marketing and promotional efforts to strengthen brand awareness and price competitiveness, thereby continuously improving user transaction activity and engagement in response to the intensified competition.
Research and Development Expenses
Our research and development expenses increased by 29.7% to RMB7.0 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025 from RMB5.4 billion for the fourth quarter of 2024, and increased by 1.5 percentage points to 7.6% from 6.1% as a percentage of revenues on a year-over-year basis. Both the increases in amount and as a percentage of revenues were primarily driven by the increased corporate-level investments in AI and the increased employee benefits expenses.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses increased by 24.3% to RMB3.7 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025 from RMB2.9 billion for the same period of 2024, and increased by 0.7 percentage points to 4.0% from 3.3% as a percentage of revenues on a year-over-year basis. Both the increases in amount and as a percentage of revenues were primarily driven by the increases in tax surcharge expenses commensurate with business scale, as well as increased overseas operational expenses.
Net Provisions for Impairment Losses on Financial and Contract Assets
Our net provisions for impairment losses on financial and contract assets increased to RMB438.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 from RMB170.4 million for the same period of 2024, which reflected the changes in expected credit losses for financial assets.
Fair Value Changes of Other Financial Investments at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss
Our fair value changes of other financial investments at fair value through profit or loss increased to a gain of RMB1.5 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025 from a gain of RMB12.8 million for the same period of 2024, which was driven by the fluctuation in the fair value of our investment portfolios.
Other Gains/(Losses), Net
Our other gains/(losses), net changed to a gain of RMB1.1 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025 from a loss of RMB933.3 million for the same period of 2024, which was primarily due to the shift in foreign exchange from a loss to a gain.
Operating (Loss)/Profit
As a result of the foregoing, our operating loss and operating margin for the fourth quarter of 2025 were RMB16.1 billion and negative 17.5% respectively, compared to operating profit of RMB6.7 billion and operating margin of 7.6% for the same period of 2024.
Operating (loss)/profit and operating margin by segment are set forth in the table below:

Our operating loss from the Core Local Commerce segment was RMB10.0 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to operating profit of RMB12.9 billion for the same period of 2024. The operating margin for this segment was negative $15.5\%$ for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to positive $19.7\%$ for the same period of 2024. The operating profit and operating margin turned to negative, mainly due to the decreased gross profit margin as well as the increased spending related to user incentives, promotion and advertising as a result of our evolving business strategies to improve user transaction activity and engagement and strengthen brand awareness amid the intensified competition.
Our operating loss from the New Initiatives segment increased to RMB4.6 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025 from RMB2.2 billion for the same period of 2024, and the operating margin for this segment decreased by 7.6 percentage points to negative $17.1\%$ from negative $9.5\%$ on a year-over-year basis. The increases in both operating loss and operating loss ratio were primarily driven by more investments in our overseas businesses, partially offset by our efforts in improving operating efficiency in our grocery retail businesses.
Our operating loss from the unallocated items decreased to RMB1.4 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025 from RMB4.0 billion for the same period of 2024, which was primarily due to the favorable shift in foreign exchange gains/(losses) from loss to gain and the fair value appreciation of our investment portfolios, partially offset by more investments at corporate level for AI and others.

Our revenues from the Core Local Commerce segment decreased by 3.3% to RMB64.8 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025 from RMB67.0 billion for the third quarter of 2025. The revenue decrease was primarily as a result of seasonality, reflecting in the decreased number of transactions, as well as the reduced marketing spending by merchants. However, the delivery services revenue increased, primarily driven by the reduction in user incentives deducted from revenues, as we focused on quality growth through our dynamic optimization of marketing strategy.
Our revenues from the New Initiatives segment decreased by 2.8% to RMB27.3 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025 from RMB28.0 billion for the third quarter of 2025, mainly due to the seasonality of our certain new initiatives, partially offset by the revenue growth in our overseas businesses.

Both the increases in amount and as a percentage of revenues were primarily driven by the increases in tax surcharge expenses commensurate with business scale, as well as increased overseas operational expenses.
Net Provisions for Impairment Losses on Financial and Contract Assets
Our net provisions for impairment losses on financial and contract assets increased to RMB438.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 from RMB292.8 million for the third quarter of 2025, which reflected the changes in expected credit losses for financial assets.

The increases in both operating loss and operating loss ratio were primarily due to more investments in our overseas businesses, and the adverse impact of operating leverage due to lower revenues resulting from the seasonality of our certain new initiatives.
Our operating loss from the unallocated items decreased to RMB1.4 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025 from RMB4.4 billion for the third quarter of 2025, which was primarily due to the favorable shift in foreign exchange gains/(losses) from loss to gain and the fair value appreciation of our investment portfolios.

Our selling and marketing expenses increased by 60.9% to RMB102.9 billion in 2025 from RMB64.0 billion in 2024, and increased by 9.2 percentage points to 28.2% from 19.0% as a percentage of revenues on a year-over-year basis.

General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses increased by 11.1% to RMB11.9 billion in 2025 from RMB10.7 billion in 2024, which was primarily driven by the increases in tax surcharge expenses commensurate with business scale, as well as increased overseas operational expenses.

Our fair value changes of other financial investments at fair value through profit or loss increased to a gain of RMB2.4 billion in 2025 from a gain of RMB140.9 million in 2024, which was driven by the fluctuation in the fair value of our investment portfolios.
Other Gains, Net
Our other gains, net in 2025 was RMB3.3 billion, compared to RMB3.6 billion in 2024, which was primarily due to the decreased fair value changes and gains from treasury investments, partially offset by the shift in foreign exchange from a loss to a gain.
Operating (Loss)/Profit
As a result of the foregoing, our operating loss and operating margin in 2025 were RMB25.0 billion and negative 6.9% respectively, compared to operating profit of RMB36.8 billion and operating margin of 10.9% in 2024.
Operating (loss)/profit and operating margin by segment are set forth in the table below:

Our operating loss from the Core Local Commerce segment was RMB6.9 billion in 2025, compared to operating profit of RMB52.4 billion in 2024. The operating margin for this segment was negative $2.6\%$ in 2025 and positive $20.9\%$ in 2024. The operating profit and operating margin turned to negative, mainly due to the decreased gross profit margin as well as the increased spending related to user incentives, promotion and advertising as a result of our evolving business strategies to improve user transaction activity and engagement and strengthen brand awareness amid the intensified competition.
Our operating loss from the New Initiatives segment increased to RMB10.1 billion in 2025 from RMB7.3 billion in 2024, and the operating margin for this segment decreased by 1.4 percentage points to negative $9.7\%$ from negative $8.3\%$ on a year-over-year basis. The increases in both operating loss and operating loss ratio were primarily driven by more investments in our overseas businesses, partially offset by our efforts in improving operating efficiency in our grocery retail businesses.
Our operating loss from the unallocated items decreased to RMB8.1 billion in 2025 from RMB8.3 billion in 2024. The change was primarily attributable to the favorable shift in foreign exchange gains/(losses) from loss to gain, the fair value appreciation of our investment portfolios, and the decreased share-based compensation expenses. These gains were partially offset by lower incremental gains from fair value changes of treasury investments on a year-over-year basis, as well as more investments at corporate level for AI and others.
Share of Profits of Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method
Our share of profits of investments accounted for using the equity method decreased to RMB78.9 million in 2025 from RMB1.2 billion in 2024, as a result of the fluctuation in financial results of our investees.
Income Tax Credits/(Expenses)
We had income tax credits of RMB1.5 billion for 2025, compared to income tax expenses of RMB2.2 billion for 2024. The change was primarily attributable to the increase of deferred income tax credit recognized on tax losses.
(Loss)/Profit for the Year
As a result of the foregoing, we recorded a loss of RMB23.4 billion in 2025, compared to a profit of RMB35.8 billion in 2024.
Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Accounting Standards Measures to the Nearest IFRS Accounting Standards Measures
To supplement our consolidated results which are prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, we also use adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net profit as additional financial measures, which are not required by, or presented in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. We believe that these non-IFRS Accounting Standards measures facilitate comparisons of operating performance from period to period and company to company by eliminating potential impacts of items that our management does not consider to be indicative of our operating performance such as certain non-cash or one-off items and certain investment transactions. The use of these non-IFRS Accounting Standards measures has limitations as an analytical tool, and one should not consider them in isolation from, or as a substitute for analysis of, our results of operations or financial conditions as reported under IFRS Accounting Standards. In addition, these non-IFRS Accounting Standards measures may be defined differently from similar terms used by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA represents profit/(loss) for the year/period adjusted for (i) fair value changes of other financial investments at fair value through profit or loss, certain items in other gains/(losses), net, finance income, finance costs, share of profits/(losses) of investments accounted for using the equity method and income tax credits/(expenses); and (ii) certain non-cash or one-off items, consisting of share-based compensation expenses, amortisation of intangible assets, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, and certain impairment and expense reversal/(provision).
Adjusted net profit represents profit/(loss) for the year/period adjusted for (i) certain non-cash or one-off items, consisting of share-based compensation expenses, foreign exchange gains/(losses) from intercompany balances, amortisation of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions, and certain impairment and expense reversal/(provision); (ii) net gains/(losses) from certain investments; and (iii) related income tax effects.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, our demand for cash was principally funded by capital contribution from Shareholders, financing through bank borrowings, issuance and sale of equity and debt securities. We held cash and cash equivalents of RMB106.8 billion and short-term treasury investments of RMB60.1 billion as of December 31, 2025.
The following table sets forth our cash flows for the years indicated:

Net Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities
Net cash flows used in operating activities represents the cash used in our operations minus the income tax paid. Cash used in our operations primarily consisted of our loss before income tax, as adjusted by non-cash items and changes in working capital.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash flows used in operating activities was RMB13.8 billion, which was primarily attributable to our loss before income tax, as adjusted for (i) depreciation and amortisation, share-based compensation expenses and fair value changes and gains on treasury investments and other investments; and (ii) the net decrease in working capital commensurate with the business development.
Net Cash Flows Generated from Investing Activities
For the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash flows generated from investing activities was RMB29.8 billion, which was principally attributable to net cash inflows from treasury investments, partially offset by capital expenditures and certain other investments.
Net Cash Flows Generated from Financing Activities
For the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash flows generated from financing activities was RMB21.2 billion, which was mainly attributable to the issuance of notes payable and proceeds from borrowings, partially offset by repayments of principal and interests on senior notes, redemption of convertible bonds and the payments of lease liabilities.
Gearing Ratio
As of December 31, 2025, our gearing ratio, calculated as total borrowings and notes payable divided by total equity attributable to equity holders of the Company, was approximately 53%. As of December 31, 2025, around 55% of our interest bearing debts and borrowings mature in three years or more. All of our interest bearing debts and borrowings have no financial covenant.

The figures in respect of the announcement of the Company’s results for the year ended December 31, 2025 have been agreed by the Auditor to the amounts as set out in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year. The work performed by the Auditor in this respect did not constitute an audit, review or other assurance engagement, and consequently no assurance has been expressed by the Auditor on this announcement.
Events After the Reporting Period
On February 5, 2026, Two Hearts Investments Limited (the “Acquirer”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Dingdong (Cayman) Limited (the “Transferor”), and Mr. Liang Changlin entered into the Share Transfer Agreement (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Acquirer agreed to acquire from the Transferor all issued shares of Dingdong Fresh Holding Limited (the “Target Company”). The initial consideration is US$717 million (subject to potential downward adjustment), provided that the net cash of the Target Company and its subsidiaries (excluding the overseas business entities specified in the Agreement, collectively the “Target Group”) shall be no less than US$150 million upon the Transferor withdraws funds from the Target Group not exceeding US$280 million. Such transaction is progressing in accordance with relevant legal and regulatory procedures, and is subject to closing conditions precedent to be fulfilled on or before the long-stop date, which is the twelve-month period following the execution date of the Agreement. This transaction will further strengthen Meituan’s overall operational capabilities in the on-demand retail area, with a particular focus on strengthening the supply chain. Furthermore, the Target Company’s well-established front warehouse network will enable Meituan to expand its geographical coverage, particularly in East China. For more details, please refer to the announcement of the Company dated February 5, 2026.
Save as aforesaid, there were no significant events that might affect the Company since December 31, 2025 and up to the date of this announcement.
Compliance with the Corporate Governance Code
The Company is committed to maintaining and promoting stringent corporate governance standards. The principle of the Company’s corporate governance is to promote effective internal control measures and to enhance the transparency and accountability of the Board to all Shareholders.
The Company has adopted the principles and code provisions of the CG Code as the basis of the Company’s corporate governance practices.
Save for code provision C.2.1, the Company has complied with all the code provisions as set out in the CG Code where applicable during the year ended December 31, 2025. Pursuant to code provision C.2.1 of the CG Code, companies listed on the Stock Exchange are expected to comply with, but may choose to deviate from the requirement that the responsibilities between the chairman and the chief executive officer should be segregated and should not be performed by the same individual. The Company does not have separate chairman and chief executive officer and Mr. Wang Xing currently performs these two roles. The Board believes that vesting the roles of both chairman and chief executive officer in the same person has the benefit of ensuring consistent leadership within the Company and enables more effective and efficient overall strategic planning for the Company. The Board considers that the balance of power and authority for the present arrangement will not be impaired and this structure will enable the Company to make and implement decisions promptly and effectively. The Board will continue to review and consider segregating the roles of chairman of the Board and the chief executive officer of the Company at an appropriate time by taking into account the circumstances of the Company as a whole.
Compliance with the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors
The Company has adopted the Model Code as its own code of conduct regarding Directors' securities transactions. Having made specific enquiries of all Directors, the Directors have respectively confirmed their compliance with the required standards as set out in the Model Code during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Publication of the Annual Results and Annual Report
All the financial and other related information of the Company required by the Listing Rules will be published on the website of each of the Stock Exchange (www.hkexnews.hk) and the Company (about.meituan.com) in due course.
