Mr. Wei Wen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TuanChe, commented, “We saw continued momentum in the fourth quarter as our net revenues of RMB165.8 million beat the top end of our guidance range by 7.0% and net loss narrowed by 37.6% quarter-over-quarter. The better-than-expected results were primarily driven by our offline marketing services that benefited from China’s solid year-over-year passenger vehicle retail sales growth of 7.5% in the fourth quarter according to China Passenger Car Association, our measured steps to resume our offline auto shows, and our continued focus on locations generating higher returns.

 

“The unforeseen and extraordinary challenges that unfolded last year did not hinder our ability to capitalize on opportunities that presented themselves, as the overall acceleration of internet penetration boosted online auto retail. During 2020, we focused on a number of initiatives such as deepening our collaboration with TMall and Baidu Youjia, as we position ourselves for the continued shift to online commerce and establish our brand as a leader in this industry. Our efforts have produced meaningful results. In the fourth quarter of 2020, our net revenues from virtual dealership, online marketing services and others increased by 579.2% to RMB35.9 million. Looking ahead in 2021 and beyond, we see a defined path for us to continue serving evolving consumer needs by leveraging our strengths as a leading omni-channel automotive marketplace.”

 

Mr. Chenxi Yu, Deputy Chief Financial Officer of TuanChe, added, “We concluded a challenging 2020 with a fourth quarter that demonstrated solid improvement. Our net revenues, although 9.3% lower than the same period in 2019, grew 65.7% compared with the third quarter. We achieved significant top line recovery and, at the same time, took a comprehensive approach to managing our costs. This resulted in slower operating expense growth of 29.5% quarter-over-quarter, leading to a narrowed net loss of RMB25.7 million, which was 37.6% and 62.0% lower versus the last quarter and the same quarter from last year, respectively. Meanwhile we maintained a combined balance of cash and cash equivalents and time deposits of RMB155.6 million, which will provide us with the runway we need to create a platform for future growth.”

Recent Business Developments

 

·COVID-19 Impact

 

As the COVID-19 pandemic has become largely under control in China, since the end of May 2020, the Company has gradually resumed offline operations in some cities, with the pace of recovery subject to the ongoing development of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated government guidance. Recent development of the COVID-19 pandemic in China, such as the cases reported in Hebei province in the first quarter of 2021, continues to generate uncertainties over the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Furthermore, as the business operations of industry customers have also been disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company continues to experience delays in collecting accounts receivables from these customers and recorded an increased bad debt expense due to liquidity issues of certain customers. See “Business Outlook” for the Company’s current and preliminary views on the impact of COVID-19 on the auto market and operational conditions for the first quarter of 2021. The Company also continues to closely monitor both the development of the pandemic and regulatory responses and restrictions as well as the impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Moreover, the Company has implemented and will continue to implement measures to adjust the pace of business operations and conserve resources and may resort to other cost cutting measures for cash flow management.

Safe Harbor Statement

 

This announcement contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the Company’s business plans and development, business outlook, as well as the length and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the Company’s business and industry, which can be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “aim,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “potential,” “continue,” “is/are likely to” or other similar expressions. Such statements are based upon management’s current expectations and current market and operating conditions, and relate to events that involve known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Further information regarding these and other risks, uncertainties or factors is included in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required under law.

 

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

To supplement the Company’s condensed consolidated quarterly financial information which are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company also uses adjusted net income/(loss) attributable to the Company’s shareholders, adjusted net income/(loss) per ordinary share and adjusted EBITDA as additional non-GAAP financial measures. The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by the Company’s management to evaluate its operating performance. The Company also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the Company’s consolidated results of operations in the same manner as its management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of the Company’s peer companies.

 

The Company defines adjusted net income/(loss) as net income/(loss) excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses and impairment of investment. The Company defines adjusted net income/(loss) per ordinary share as adjusted net income/(loss) divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income/(loss) excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization, interest income/(expenses), net, share-based compensation expenses and impairment of investment. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the Company’s operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted for the impact of items that the Company does not consider indicative of the operational performance of the Company’s business, and should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to net income/(loss) or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance.

In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations. Interest income or expenses, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expenses and impairment of investment have been and may continue to be incurred in the Company’s business and are not reflected in the presentation of these non-GAAP measures. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company’s data. The Company encourages investors and others to review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. Investors are encouraged to compare the historical non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

(2)In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). Under the new provisions, all lessees will report a right-of-use asset and a liability for the obligation to make payments for all leases with the exception of those leases with a term of 12 months or less. The Company adopted this guidance effective December 31, 2020 using the modified retrospective method, with the comparative information not being restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The most significant impact upon adoption was the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating lease related to office buildings.
