Dr. Daqing Mao,Founder and Chairman of Ucommune,commented,"China's urbanization process has transitioned from an era of early development to one of refined operation. As a result,construction and urban planning are more focused on quality improvement as opposed to outward expansion. This trend aligns perfectly with our mission to develop our intelligent agile office service ecosystem. We continue to focus on expanding our asset-light business,guided by our vision to satisfy market demand for limited urban development space,develop smart cities,and reduce carbon emissions. Following our strong performance during the second quarter,we believe that we are fully capable of building on our growth momentum in the second half of the year."
Ms. Xin Guan,Chief Executive Officer of Ucommune,"In the second quarter,our net revenues increased by 34.3% year over year as advertising demand recovered to pre-pandemic levels and we continued to expand our SaaS services as well as our interior design and construction services. We increased our geographic coverage and added 32 office spaces in total. This pace of development showcases the advantage of our asset-light model to quickly increase our presence nationwide. Our asset-light model was also successful at improving occupancy rates of agile workspaces for our landlord partners. We are confident that our strategy to transform our business to the asset-light model will enhance our industry leadership and bring lasting value to our partners,members,shareholders,and society as a whole."
Mr. Siyuan Wang,Chief Financial Officer of Ucommune,added,"Our revenues once again exceeded the high-end of our previously announced guidance range and we further reduced our adjusted net loss to RMB21.9 million. We achieved improved margins as a result of the growth in our higher-margin asset-light business as a percentage of revenue,as well as the development of our SaaS services. As we continue to grow our asset-light business and generate business synergiesthrough our SaaS services as well as our interior design and construction services,our profitability is likely to improve going forward."

Workspace membership services revenues decreased by 12.8% to RMB95.4 million in the second quarter of 2021 from RMB109.4 million in the second quarter of 2020,mainly due to the closure of unprofitable spaces in operation and contraction of the Company's self-operated coworking space services resulting from the Company's transformation to an asset-light model.
Marketing and branding services revenues increased by 80.8% to RMB126.0 million in the second quarter of 2021 from RMB69.7 million in the second quarter of 2020,mainly due to increased demand for advertising and marketing services as customer demand fully recovered to pre-epidemic levels.
Other services revenues increased by 162.3% to RMB39.2 million in the second quarter of 2021 from RMB14.9 million in the second quarter of 2020,primarily due to increased net revenues from the Company's interior design and construction services and its SaaS services.

Costs of workspace membership decreased by 13.8% to RMB113.6million in the second quarter of 2021 from RMB131.8 million in the second quarter of 2020,mainly due to decreased operational costs related to leases and staff,partly offset by an increase in share-based compensation expense,amounting to RMB10.4 million.
Costs ofmarketing and branding services increased by 77.0% to RMB121.4 million in the second quarter of 2021 from RMB68.6 million in the second quarter of 2020,mainly due to increased advertising spending,which was in line with the increase in advertising revenue.
Costs of other services increased by 51.0% to RMB28.7 million in the second quarter of 2021 from RMB19.0 million in the second quarter of 2020,which was in line with the increase in other services revenues.
General and administrative expenses increased by 555.8% to RMB136.8 million in the secondquarter of2021from RMB20.9 million in the secondquarter of2020,mainly due to an increase in share-based compensation expense of RMB95.8 million and professional service fees.
Sales and marketing expenses increased by 196.4% to RMB15.2million in the secondquarter of2021from RMB5.1 million in the secondquarter of2020,mainly due to the increase in share-based compensation expense.

Other income,net was RMB20.8 million in the secondquarter of2021,compared to other expense,net of RMB25.5 million in the secondquarter of2020. The change was mainly due to debt forgiveness from creditors of the Company and early termination of lease contracts which resulted in a corresponding reversal of expenses duringthe second quarter of 2021,while a disposal loss of long-term assets of unprofitable spaces was recorded duringthe second quarter of 2020.
Net loss wasRMB156.9 million in the secondquarter of2021,compared with RMB106.6 million in the secondquarter of2020.
