Organization, Consolidation and Principal Activities
Quhuo Limited (the “Company”, and where appropriate, the term “Company” also refers to its subsidiaries, variable interest entity, and subsidiaries of the variable interest entity as a whole) is an exempt company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands on June 13, 2019. The Company, through its subsidiaries, variable interest entity, and subsidiaries of the variable interest entity, are principally engaged in providing
end-to-end
operational solutions to
on-demand
consumer service businesses in industries, including food delivery, bike-sharing and ride-hailing in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). The Company does not conduct any substantive operations of its own.
The Company commenced operations through Beijing Quhuo Technology Co., Ltd. in 2012. In preparation of its initial public offering (“IPO”) in the United States, the Company underwent a series of restructuring in 2019 (the “Restructuring”) in order to establish the Company as the parent company and Beijing Quhuo Technology Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Quhuo” or the “VIE”) as the variable interest entity of the Company. On June 14, 2019, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Quhuo Investment Limited (“Quhuo BVI”) in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”). On June 17, 2019, the Company incorporated another wholly-owned subsidiary, Quhuo Technology Investment (Hong Kong) Limited (“Quhuo HK”) in Hong Kong. On July 31, 2019, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Beijing Quhuo Information Technology Co., Ltd. (“WFOE”) in the PRC.
As PRC laws and regulations prohibit and restrict foreign ownership of internet value-added businesses, the Company operates its business primarily through the VIE and the subsidiaries of the VIE. The Company, through the WFOE, entered into power of attorney agreements and an exclusive call option agreement with the nominee shareholders of the VIE, that gave the WFOE the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and to acquire the equity interests in the VIE when permitted by the PRC laws, respectively. Certain exclusive agreements were entered into with the VIE through the WFOE, which obligate the WFOE to absorb a majority of the risk of loss from the VIE’s activities and entitle the WFOE to receive a majority of its residual returns. In addition, the WFOE entered into an equity interest pledge agreement for equity interests in the VIE held by the nominee shareholders of the VIE. The Company also agreed to provide unlimited financial support to the VIE for its operations.

Organization, Consolidation and Principal Activities (continued)
 
Despite the lack of technical majority ownership, the Company has effective control of the VIE through the VIE Agreements and a parent-subsidiary relationship exists between the Company and the VIE. Through the VIE Agreements, the shareholders of the VIE effectively assigned all of their voting rights underlying their equity interest in the VIE to the Company. In addition, through the other exclusive agreements, which consist of exclusive call option agreement, exclusive business cooperation agreement, and equity interest pledge agreement, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries in the PRC, have the right to receive economic benefits from the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE. Lastly, through the financial support undertaking letter, the Company has the obligation to absorb losses of
the
VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Therefore, the Company is considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE and consolidates the VIE and its consolidated subsidiaries as required by SEC Regulation
S-X
Rule
3A-02
and Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810,
Consolidation: Overall
(“ASC 810”).
As of September 30, 2021, RMB271,867 of accounts receivable and RMB15,016 of property and equipment of the VIE were pledged or collateralized. Creditors of the VIE have no recourse to the general credit of the Company, who is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, through its 100% controlled subsidiary WFOE. The Company did not provide any financial or other support to the VIE other than what is obligated by the agreements described above. The following table sets forth the assets and liabilities of the VIE’s included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidat
e
d financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information using accounting policies that are consistent with those used in the preparation of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, operating results and cash flows of the Company for each of the periods presented. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year of 2021. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, the VIE and the subsidiaries of the VIE. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts for accounts receivable, fair value of short-term investment, useful lives of property, equipment and intangible assets, incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) applied in lease liabilities, impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill and long-term investments, purchase price allocation and fair value of contingent consideration with respect to business combinations, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, the grant date fair value of share-based payment awards and fair value of intangible assets acquired associated with
non-monetary
transactions. Management bases the estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Convenience translation
Amounts in US$ are presented for the convenience of the reader and are translated at the noon buying rate of US$1.00 to RMB6.4434 on September 30, 2021 in the City of New York for cable transfers of RMB as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at such rate.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
Fair value measurements
Financial instruments of the Company primarily include cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, other receivables, amounts due from and due to related parties, long-term investments, deposits, equity consideration payable, contingent consideration payable, short-term debt, long-term debt and redeemable convertible preferred shares. The Company applies ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
(‘‘ASC 820’’), in measuring fair value. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures to be provided on fair value measurement. The short-term investments are measured at fair value. The redeemable convertible preferred shares were initially recorded at fair value as of the issuance date. Equity method investments have no quoted market prices and it is not practicable to estimate their fair value without incurring excessive costs. The carrying amounts of the remaining financial instruments, except for long-term debt and deposits, approximate their fair values because of their short-term maturities.
ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level
1-Observable
inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level
2-Include
other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level
3-Unobservable
inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

Income Taxes
The Company is incorporated in the Cayman Islands and conducts its primary business operations through subsidiaries and VIEs in the PRC. It also has intermediate holding companies in the BVI and Hong Kong. Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands and BVI, the Company is not subject to tax on income nor capital gains. Additionally, upon payments of dividends by the Company to its shareholders, neither Cayman Islands nor BVI will impose withholding taxes. Under the Hong Kong tax laws, subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to the Hong Kong corporate income tax rate at 16.5% exempting foreign-derived income, and there are no withholding taxes in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.
The Company’s subsidiaries, VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries in the PRC are subject to the statutory rate of 25%, in accordance with the Enterprise Income Tax law (the “EIT Law”), which was effective since January 1, 2008 except for the following entities eligible for preferential tax rates. In 2020, Nantong Runda qualified for the requirements of small and micro-sized enterprise, and its first one million yuan of annual taxable income was eligible for 75% reduction and the taxable income between one million yuan and three million yuan was eligible for 50% reduction. The applicable CIT rate is 20%. Hainan Quhuo, Haikou Chengtu and Hainan Xinying are enterprises registered in the Hainan free trade port and engaged in substantial business in encouraged industries and are therefore entitled to preferential tax rate of 15%. Beijing Quhuo, the VIE, meets the requirements of “high and new technology enterprise” (“HNTE”) and could enjoy the preferential tax rate of 15%. Beijing Quhuo obtained the HNTE certificate in December, 2020 and was subject to an enterprise income tax (“EIT”) rate of 15% from calendar years 2020 through 2022.
The Company recorded a provision from income taxes of RMB30,258 and RMB3,049 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The income tax provision is primarily driven by nondeductible share-based compensation expenses and unbenefited losses from continuing operations. Furthermore, the Company’s effective tax rates from continuing operations were 171% and (3)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively. Changes in various permanent differences relative to our pre-tax income/loss from continuing operations had a favorable impact on the effective tax rate for the first nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period prior year.

For the periods presented herein, the computation of basic loss per share using the

method is not applicable as the Company is in a net loss position and the participating securities do not have contractual rights and obligations to share in the losses of the Company. The effects of all outstanding options and oth

r participating securities were also excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as their effects would be anti-dilutive during the periods.

Commitments and Contingencies
Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may from time to time be involved in legal proceedings and litigation relating to injuries caused by workforce and labor arbitration cases brought by disgruntled workforce, among others. The Company records a liability when the Company believes that it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. With respect to the Company’s outstanding legal matters, based on its current knowledge, the Company believes that the amount or range of reasonably possible loss will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the outcome of such legal matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties.
