Yunji Announces Third Quarter 2023 Unaudited Financial Results

Hangzhou, CHINA, December 14, 2023 — Yunji Inc. (“Yunji” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: YJ), a leading membership-based social e-commerce platform, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 20231.

Third Quarter 2023 Highlights

 

  •  

Total revenues in the third quarter of 2023 were RMB145.2 million (US$19.9 million), compared with RMB238.9 million in the same period of 2022. The change was primarily due to the Company’s continued strategy to refine its product selection across all categories and optimize its selection of suppliers and merchants, which had a near-term impact on sales.

 

  •  

Repeat purchase rate2 in the twelve months ended September 30, 2023 was 77.4%.

Mr. Shanglue Xiao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yunji, said, “As we navigated through e-commerce’s traditional off-peak season in the third quarter, we intensified our focus on new product development, refined our product selections, and optimized our supply chain processes. These strategic initiatives leave us well-positioned, ensuring that we are fully prepared for the upcoming fourth quarter.”

“We experienced a relatively stable third quarter, during which we enhanced our inventory management mechanisms and prioritized asset and cash management. These concerted efforts have established a robust foundation for our sustainable development in a dynamic market,” said Mr. Yeqing Cui, Senior Financial Director of Yunji.

Third Quarter 2023 Unaudited Financial Results

Total revenues were RMB145.2 million (US$19.9 million), compared with RMB238.9 million in the same period of 2022. This change was primarily due to the Company’s continued strategy to refine its product selection across all categories and optimize its selection of suppliers and merchants, which had a near-term impact on sales.

 

  •  

Revenues from sales of merchandise were RMB114.1 million (US$15.7 million), compared with RMB196.9 million in the same period of 2022.

 

  •  

Revenues from the marketplace business were RMB28.7 million (US$3.9 million), compared with RMB38.1 million in the same period of 2022.

 

  •  

Other revenues were RMB2.4 million (US$0.3 million), compared with RMB3.9 million in the same period of 2022.

Total cost of revenues decreased by 34.8% to RMB78.9 million (US$10.8 million), or 54.3% of total revenues, from RMB120.9 million, or 50.6% of total revenues, in the same period of 2022. The decrease was mainly attributable to the change in merchandise sales, for which revenues and cost of revenues are recognized on a gross basis. Total cost of revenues, which mainly comprises the costs related to the sales of merchandise, decreased accordingly in the third quarter of 2023.

Total operating expenses decreased by 29.9% to RMB97.1 million (US$13.3 million) from RMB138.5 million in the same period of 2022.

 

  •  

Fulfillment expenses decreased by 30.5% to RMB25.6 million (US$3.5 million), or 17.6% of total revenues, from RMB36.9 million, or 15.4% of total revenues, in the same period of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to (i) reduced warehousing and logistics expenses due to lower merchandise sales, and (ii) reduced personnel costs as a result of staffing structure refinements.

 

  •  

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 37.0% to RMB29.6 million (US$4.1 million), or 20.4% of total revenues, from RMB47.0 million, or 19.7% of total revenues, in the same period of 2022. The decrease was mainly due to (i) a decrease in member management fees, and (ii) reduced business promotion expenses.

 

  •  

Technology and content expenses decreased by 16.8% to RMB13.9 million (US$1.9 million), or 9.5% of total revenues, from RMB16.6 million, or 7.0% of total revenues, in the same period of 2022. The decrease was mainly due to the reduction in personnel costs as a result of staffing structure refinements.

 

  •  

General and administrative expenses decreased by 26.2% to RMB28.1 million (US$3.8 million), or 19.3% of total revenues, from RMB38.0 million, or 15.9% of total revenues, in the same period of 2022. The decrease was mainly due to the reduction in share-based compensation expenses.

Loss from operations was RMB30.3 million (US$4.2 million), compared with RMB17.9 million in the same period of 2022.

Financial loss, net was RMB1.9 million (US$0.3 million), compared with financial income, net of RMB0.3 million in the same period of 2022, primarily due to a decrease in the fair value changes of equity securities investments.

Net loss was RMB34.8 million (US$4.8 million), compared with RMB38.2 million in the same period of 2022.

Adjusted net loss (non-GAAP)3 was RMB34.0 million (US$4.7 million), compared with RMB29.6 million in the same period of 2022.

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to ordinary shareholders were both RMB0.02, compared with RMB0.02 in the same period of 2022.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses adjusted net 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 loss as net loss excluding share-based compensation.

The Company presents adjusted net loss because it is used by management to evaluate operating performance and formulate business plans. Adjusted net 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 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 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 RMB7.2960 to US$1.00, the exchange rate in effect as of September 30, 2023 as set forth in the H.10 statistical release of The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

2.

“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.

3.

Adjusted net loss is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as net 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.

4.

As of September 30, 2023, Short-term loan receivables of amount RMB234,636 were included in the prepaid expenses and other current assets balance, which represent the principal and interest to be collected on loans provided by the Group to third-party companies.

5.

As of September 30, 2023, the decrease in incentive payables was mainly due to derecognition of long-aged payables to inactive members.

6.

As of September 30, 2023, the Group, as one of the five co-defendants, was involved in an on-going legal proceeding that arose in the ordinary course of business (the “Case”). The plaintiff sought monetary damages jointly and severally from all co-defendants. As of the date of this earnings release, the Case is still under the appeal trial process and subject to final judgment by the Guangzhou Intermediate People’s Court, and the amount involved is approximately RMB23.1 million. Based on the currently available information, management believes that the claims by the plaintiff have no merit and the Group has valid defence and will defend vigorously in the Case. Accordingly, the Group has not made accrual for the Case as of September 30, 2023.
