Yunji Announces Second Quarter 2022 Unaudited Financial Results

Hangzhou, CHINA, August 25, 2022 — Yunji Inc. (“Yunji” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: YJ), a leading membership-based social e-commerce platform, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 20221.

Second Quarter 2022 Highlights

 

   

Total revenues in the second quarter of 2022 were RMB284.0 million (US$42.4 million), compared with RMB570.7 million in the same period of 2021, primarily due to the negative impact of the outbreaks of the highly-transmissible Delta and Omicron variants of COVID-19 in the first half of 2022 on the Company’s operations and the Company’s continued strategy to refine its product selection across all categories and optimize its selection of suppliers and merchants, causing near-term decreases in sales. The COVID-19 outbreaks in the first half of 2022 have caused varying degrees of temporary shutdowns and delays in production and operation of the Company’s suppliers (especially private label suppliers), third-party merchants, third-party logistics service providers and other business partners, leading to temporary shortages of certain merchandise and delays in logistics services as well as delays in the research and development and new product launch processes associated with the Company’s private label suppliers. Consumers’ willingness to spend on discretionary products in the first half of 2022 has also declined compared with that in the same period of 20212. This has negatively affected and may continue to negatively affect the Company’s revenues and operations in 2022, depending on the future development of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

   

Repeat purchase rate3 in the twelve months ended June 30, 2022 was 79.0%.

Mr. Shanglue Xiao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yunji, said, “During the second quarter, the resurgence of COVID-19 and widespread pandemic-related control measures limited our promotional activities and customer outreach efforts, and caused disruptions throughout our supply chain. In the face of these transitory macro headwinds, we have been increasingly focused on our private label brands and optimization of our online marketing and customer service. In June, as the majority of the areas impacted by the pandemic returned to a normalized situation, our operations, including logistics, customer service, and new product launches, gradually recovered.”

“Our financial resilience has enabled us to successfully navigate this challenging quarter. We improved our gross margin to 40.6% compared with 35.1% in the same period of 2021 and we aim to further enhance our cost structure to increase operational efficiency in the second half of 2022.” said Mr. Peng Zhang, Yunji’s Vice President of Finance.

Second Quarter 2022 Unaudited Financial Results

Total revenues were RMB284.0 million (US$42.4 million), compared with RMB570.7 million in the same period of 2021. This decrease was primarily due to the negative impact of the outbreaks of the highly-transmissible Delta and Omicron variants of COVID-19 in the first half of 2022 on the Company’s operations and the Company’s continued strategy to refine its product selection across all categories and optimize its selection of suppliers and merchants, causing near-term decreases in sales. The COVID-19 outbreaks in the first half of 2022 have caused varying degrees of temporary shutdowns and delays in production and operation of the Company’s suppliers (especially private label suppliers), third-party merchants, third-party logistics service providers and other business partners, leading to temporary shortages of certain merchandise and delays in logistics services as well as delays in the research and development and new product launch processes associated with the Company’s private label suppliers. This has negatively affected and may continue to negatively affect the Company’s revenues and operations in 2022, depending on the future development of the COVID-19 pandemic.


   

Revenues from sales of merchandise, net decreased by 49.8% to RMB237.1 million (US$35.4 million) from RMB472.1 million in the same period of 2021.

 

   

Revenues from the marketplace business were RMB42.1 million (US$6.3 million), compared with RMB88.2 million in the same period of 2021.

 

   

Other revenues decreased by 55.3% to RMB4.7 million (US$0.7 million) from RMB10.5 million in the same period of 2021.

Total cost of revenues decreased by 54.5% to RMB168.8 million (US$25.2 million), or 59.4% of total revenues, from RMB370.5 million, or 64.9% of total revenues, in the same period of 2021. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decline in merchandise sales, for which revenues are recognized on a gross basis. Total cost of revenues was mainly comprised of the costs related to the sales of merchandise in the second quarter of 2022.

Total operating expenses decreased by 16.2% to RMB156.6 million (US$23.4 million) from RMB186.9 million in the same period of 2021.

 

   

Fulfillment expenses decreased by 14.1% to RMB43.1 million (US$6.4 million), or 15.2% of total revenues, from RMB50.1 million, or 8.8% of total revenues, in the same period of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to (i) reduced warehousing and logistics expenses due to lower merchandise sales and (ii) decreased service fees charged by third-party payment settlement platforms.

 

   

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 5.3% to RMB58.2 million (US$8.7 million), or 20.5% of total revenues, from RMB61.5 million, or 10.8% of total revenues, in the same period of 2021. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in member management fees, partially offset by an increase in private label promotion expenses.

 

   

Technology and content expenses decreased by 27.1% to RMB23.6 million (US$3.5 million), or 8.3% of total revenues, from RMB32.4 million, or 5.7% of total revenues, in the same period of 2021. The decrease was mainly due to (i) the reduction in personnel costs as a result of staffing structure refinements and (ii) reduced server costs.

 

   

General and administrative expenses decreased by 26.1% to RMB31.7 million (US$4.7 million), or 11.2% of total revenues, from RMB42.9 million, or 7.5% of total revenues, in the same period of 2021, primarily due to (i) reduced personnel costs as a result of staffing structure refinements and (ii) lower professional service fees.

Loss from operations was RMB30.0 million (US$4.5 million), compared with income from operations of RMB16.0 million in the same period of 2021.

Financial income, net was RMB12.3 million (US$1.8 million), compared with RMB7.8 million in the same period of 2021, primarily due to (i) increased fair value of equity securities with readily determinable fair value and (ii) increased wealth management products interest income.


Net loss was RMB25.0 million (US$3.7 million), compared with net income of RMB17.0 million in the same period of 2021.

Adjusted net loss (non-GAAP)4 was RMB17.1 million (US$2.6million), compared with adjusted net income of RMB23.9 million in the same period of 2021.

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to ordinary shareholders were both RMB0.01, compared with basic and diluted net earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of RMB0.01 in the same period of 2021.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company’s board of directors has approved to extend the term of its previously announced US$20 million share repurchase program for another six months. The Company’s board of directors will continue to review the share repurchase program periodically, and may authorize further adjustment of its terms and size.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses adjusted net income/(loss) as a supplemental measure to review and assess operating performance. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company defines adjusted net income/(loss) as net income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation.

The Company presents adjusted net income/(loss) because it is used by management to evaluate operating performance and formulate business plans. Adjusted net income/(loss) enables management to assess operating performance without considering the impact of share-based compensation recorded under ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation.” The Company also believes that the use of this non-GAAP measure facilitates investors’ assessment of operating performance.

This non-GAAP financial measure is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool. One of the key limitations of using adjusted net income/(loss) is that it does not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations. Share-based compensation has been and may continue to be incurred in Yunji’s business and is not reflected in the presentation of adjusted net income/(loss). Further, this non-GAAP measure may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore its comparability may be limited.

The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating performance. Yunji encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to the Most Directly Comparable Financial Measures” set forth at the end of this press release.

This announcement contains translations of certain Renminbi (RMB) amounts into U.S. dollars (US$) at a specified rate solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise noted, the translation of RMB into US$ has been made at RMB6.6981 to US$1.00, the exchange rate in effect as of June 30, 2022 as set forth in the H.10 statistical release of The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China.

3.

“Repeat purchase rate” in a given period is calculated as the number of transacting members who purchased not less than twice divided by the total number of transacting members during such period. “Transacting member” in a given period refers to a member who successfully promotes Yunji’s products to generate at least one order or places at least one order on Yunji’s platform, regardless of whether any product in such order is ultimately sold or delivered or whether any product in such order is returned.

4.

Adjusted net income/(loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as net income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation expense. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to the Most Directly Comparable Financial Measures” set forth at the end of this press release.

5.

As of June 30, 2022, the decrease in incentive payables was mainly due to derecognition of long-aged payables to inactive members starting this year.
