Senmiao Technology Reports Fiscal 2022 First Quarter Financial Results
CHENGDU, China, Aug. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Senmiao Technology Limited ("Senmiao") (NASDAQ: AIHS), a provider of automobile transaction and related services targeting the online ride-hailing industry in China as well as an operator of its own online ride-hailing platform, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2022 first quarter ended June 30, 2021.
Fiscal 2022 First Quarter Financial and Operating Highlights
- Total revenues of $1.9 million, an increase of approximately 61% from $1.1 million in the prior-year period, primarily as a result of increased operating lease revenues from automobile rentals as Senmiao has shifted its focus to this business in direct response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Net loss from continuing operations of $7.4 million, compared with $2.3 million from the prior-year period, primarily due to increased cost of revenue, operating expenses and other expense related to the development and services provided on Senmiao's new online ride-hailing platform.
- From October 23, 2020, the date Senmiao launched its online ride-hailing platform, to June 30, 2021, 10.5 million rides were completed through the platform with fares paid by riders totaling $31.4 million.
Management Commentary
Xi Wen, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Senmiao, stated, "Our online ride-hailing platform continued to ramp its growth since its launch in last October. We achieved 61% growth on the top line during the fiscal 2022 first quarter, primarily driven by increased operating lease revenues from automobile rentals, which accounted for the majority of our total revenues. During the period, we were pleased to see the public health situation continue to improve in a post-pandemic recovery. We anticipate operating lease revenues from automobile rentals will continue to account for most of our revenues with our online ride-hailing platform services making steady contributions over the next 12 months."
Mr. Wen continued, "We feel there is a natural symmetry where Senmiao can leverage our online ride-hailing platform and improve utilization of automobiles under our operating leases. This year, we launched the platform in Guangzhou, China's third-largest city, in late March, as well as in the smaller cities of Nanchong and Panzhihua in June. As a result of our expansions into new cities and valued partnerships, approximately 6 million rides have been completed using Senmiao's platform, generating gross fares of approximately $18 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2021."
"We remain confident in the long-term prospects of the online ride-hailing industry despite some setbacks caused by recent COVID-19 resurgences in Guangzhou and Chengdu, which resulted in local governments implementing travel restrictions and lockdowns. We continue to deepen our relationships with our key industry partners and anticipate further expansion into more cities in China this year. We believe the acceleration of our platform's growth will benefit the automobile rentals business as more individuals look to transition into ride-hailing as a profession. We look forward to supporting a growing population of ride-hailing drivers as the industry continues to expand across the country."
Financial Review
Revenues
Total revenues were $1.9 million for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2021, an increase of 61% from $1.1 million in the prior-year period. The increase was largely due to increased operating lease revenues from Senmiao's automobile rental business, which was partially offset by lack of revenue contributions from automobile sales and facilitation of automobile transaction and financing during the period.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues increased to $3.8 million for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to $0.8 million in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to a $1.4 million increase in cost of automobiles under operating leases and a $1.9 million increase in direct expense and technical service fees related to Senmiao's online ride-hailing platform, as a result of the commencement and expansion of those two businesses.
Gross Profit (Loss)
Gross loss was $1.9 million for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to gross profit of $0.3 million in the prior-year period, due to the decreased number of automobiles sold and facilitated new automobile purchases. Senmiao has focused on operating leases to mitigate the impact of the return of automobiles by a substantial number of drivers and the intense competition in the online ride-hailing market in Chengdu and Changsha since 2020. As noted above, Senmiao incurred increased cost of revenues related to the launch of its online ride-hailing platform. It also paid additional cash incentives to attract drivers to its platform.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $3.7 million for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to $2.0 million in the prior-year period. The increase was mainly attributable to a $0.7 million increase in salary and employee benefits as Senmiao's employee headcount increased from 179 to 347, a $0.8 million increase in advertising and promotion expenses for online ride-hailing platform services, and a $0.4 million increase for office expenses, professional service fees such as financial, legal and market consulting, and other miscellaneous expenses, partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in amortization of automobiles that were rendered to Senmiao but have not been sub-leased as Senmiao leased more automobiles during this quarter than in the prior-year period.
Net Loss
Net loss from Senmiao's continuing operations for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2021, was $7.4 million, compared to $2.3 million in the prior-year period, which was primarily the result of the increased cost of revenues and increased selling, general and administrative expenses mentioned above, as well as a $1.1 million decrease in change in fair value of derivative liabilities related to warrants issued in Senmiao's most recent registered direct offering.
Loss per Share
Loss per share for continuing operations was approximately $0.12 based on a weighted average number of basic and diluted common stock of 52.7 million, compared to approximately $0.07 based on a weighted average number of basic and diluted common stock of 29.0 million.
Financial Position
As of June 30, 2021, Senmiao had cash and cash equivalents of $4.0 million, compared to $4.4 million as of March 31, 2021. The Company's business is capital intensive, and management is taking steps to alleviate the working capital deficit.
Further information regarding Senmiao's results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 can be found in Senmiao's website, which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
