NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021 AND 2022
(Amounts in thousands, except for share and per share data)
1. Organization and Principal Activities
ZTO Express (Cayman) Inc. (“ZTO”) was incorporated under the laws of Cayman Islands on April 8, 2015. ZTO, its subsidiaries and its variable interest entity and subsidiaries of variable interest entity (“VIE”) (collectively also referred to as the “Company”) are principally engaged in express delivery services in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) through a nationwide network partner model.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial information of the Company. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Security and Exchange Commission and U.S. generally accepted accounting standards for interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, accounting policies and notes thereto included in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full years.
In the opinion of the management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. The financial information as of December 31, 2021 presented in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
(b) Principles of consolidation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and VIE. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
The Company evaluates the need to consolidate its VIE of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company considers if the Company (1) has power to direct the activities that most significantly affects the economic performance of the VIE, and (2) The obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If deemed the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates the VIE.

Included inter-company operating cash outflow of RMB9,386,251 and RMB13,098,315 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively.
The WFOE is entitled to receive substantially all of the net income and transfer a majority of the economic benefits in the form of service fees from the VIEs. These inter-company transactions and balances were eliminated in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
After all intercompany transactions eliminations, the VIE contributed 96.9% and 98.0% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022, the VIE accounted for an aggregate of 31.0% and 29.3%, respectively, of the consolidated assets, and 66.3% and 78.4%, respectively, of the consolidated liabilities.
There are no terms in any arrangements, considering both explicit arrangements and implicit variable interests that require the Company to provide financial support to the VIE. However, if the VIE was ever to need financial support, the Company may, at its option and subject to statutory limits and restrictions, provide financial support to its VIE through loans to the shareholders of the VIE or entrustment loans to the VIE.
The Company believes that there are no assets held in the consolidated VIE that can be used only to settle obligations of the VIE, except for registered capital and the PRC statutory reserves. As the consolidated VIE is incorporated as a limited liability company under the PRC Company Law, creditors of the VIE do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company for any of the liabilities of the consolidated VIE.
Relevant PRC laws and regulations restrict the VIE from transferring a portion of their net assets, equivalent to the balance of its statutory reserve and its share capital, to the Company in the form of loans and advances or cash dividends.
(c) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may

differ from these estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other relevant factors.
(d) Convenience translation
The Company’s business is primarily conducted in PRC and almost all of the Company’s revenues are denominated in RMB. However, periodic reports made to shareholders will include current period amounts translated into US dollars using the then current exchange rates, solely for the convenience of the readers outside PRC. Translations of balances in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets, unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flows from RMB into US dollars as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were calculated at the rate of US$1.00 = RMB6.6981 representing the noon buying rate set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board on June 30, 2022. No representation was made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into US$ at that rate on June 30, 2022, or at any other rate.

(f) Income taxes
As part of the process of preparing financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Net operating losses are carried forward by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years when the reported amounts of the asset or liability are expected to be recovered or settled, respectively. Deferred tax assets are

reduced by a valuation allowance when, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.
According to ASC 740-270 Interim Reporting, an estimated annual effective tax rate (AETR) on full year estimated ordinary income should first be determined by the Company and the estimated AETR is then applied to year-to-date ordinary income to compute the interim tax provision on ordinary income.
(g) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income attributable to holders of ordinary shares by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the periods.
Diluted earnings per ordinary share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue ordinary shares were exercised or converted into ordinary shares. Ordinary share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per ordinary share if their effects would be anti-dilutive.
On October 27, 2016, the Company’s shareholders voted in favor of a proposal to adopt a dual-class share structure, pursuant to which the Company’s authorized share capital were reclassified and redesigned into Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Both Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares are entitled to the same dividend right, as such, this dual class share structure has no impacts to the earnings per share calculation. Basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share are the same for each Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares.

5. Income Tax

Deferred tax (benefits)/expenses (194,747) 14,222 2,123
Total 404,497 693,424 103,525
The effective tax rate is based on expected income and statutory tax rates. For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates the annual effective tax rate based on projected accounting incomes for the full year and records a quarterly income tax provision in accordance with the guidance on accounting for income taxes in a period. As the year progresses, the Company refines the estimates of the year’s taxable income as new information becomes available. This continual estimation process often results in a change to the expected effective tax rate for the year. When this occurs, the Company adjusts the income tax provision during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision reflects the expected annual tax rate.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022 were 18.07% and 20.75%, respectively.

share incentives. ZTO ES Holding Limited (“ZTO ES”), a British Virgin Islands company was established as a holding vehicle for the Company’s Share Holding Platform. ZTO ES is held by Mr. Lai Meisong, chairman and chief executive officer of the Company and four limited liability partnerships (“LLPs”) formed in PRC. At the time of establishment of these LLPs, Mr. Lai Meisong and his wife, Ms. Lai Yufeng agreed to serve as the general partner and sole limited partner of the four LLPs. On behalf of the Company and subject to approval of board of director of the Company, Mr. Lai Meisong as the general partner of the LLPs, has the authority to select the eligible participants to whom awards will be granted.
On June 28, 2016, the Company issued 16 million ordinary shares to ZTO ES. All shareholder rights associated with these 16 million ordinary shares including but not limited to voting right and dividend right were waived until such time when the economic interests in the ordinary shares are granted to the employees, through transfer of interests in the LLPs. Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement, a recipient of limited partnership interests is entitled to indirectly all of the economic rights associated with the underlying ordinary shares of the Company and accordingly, at the direction of the employee, the LLPs will sell the Company’s ordinary shares held in connection with the limited partnership interest owned by the employee, and remit the proceeds to the employee. The other shareholder’s rights associated with the Company’s ordinary shares held by the partnership may be exercised by the general partner of these LLPs. The Company referred to these limited partner’s partnership interests as ordinary share units and five ordinary share units correspond to the indirect economic interest in one ordinary share of the Company.
In March 2021 and 2022, 3,178,835 and 3,934,355 ordinary share units corresponding to 635,767 and 786,871 Company’s ordinary shares were granted to certain officers and employees at the consideration of nil. These share awards vested immediately upon grant. The Company recorded the share based compensation of RMB135,778 and RMB109,614 based on the market price at US$32.83 and US$21.87 of ordinary shares on the grant date for six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively.
2016 Share Incentive Plan
On June 20, 2016, the Board also approved a 2016 share incentive plan (the “2016 Share Incentive Plan”) in order to provide appropriate incentives to directors, executive officers and other employees of the Company, pursuant to which the maximum number of shares of the Company available for issuance pursuant to all awards under the 2016 Share Incentive Plan shall be 3,000,000 ordinary shares.
In September 2016, the Board approved 2016 Share Incentive Plan (as amended and restated), the maximum aggregate number of shares which may be issued pursuant to all awards under the 2016 Plan is initially 3,000,000, plus an annual increase, by an amount equal to the least of (i) 0.5% of the total number of shares issued and outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year; (ii) 3,000,000 shares or (iii) such number of shares as may be determined by the board of directors.

The Company has not made adequate contributions to employee benefit plans, as required by applicable PRC laws and regulations, but the Company has recorded accruals for the estimated underpaid amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the Company has not made any accruals for the interest on underpayments and penalties that may be imposed by the relevant PRC government authorities in the consolidated financial statements as the Company believes it would be unlikely that the relevant PRC government authorities will impose any significant interests or penalties.
The Company, certain directors and officers of the Company, and the underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering in October 2016 have been named as defendants in a putative securities class actions. Management of the Company believes that the claims are without merit and intends to defend vigorously.
