Senmiao Technology Reports Fiscal 2024 First Quarter Financial Results
CHENGDU, China, Aug. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Senmiao Technology Limited ("Senmiao") (Nasdaq: AIHS), a financing and servicing company focused on 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 2024 first quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Fiscal 2024 First Quarter Financial and Operating Highlights
- Total revenues of $2.1 million, compared to $2.3 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to lower revenues from online ride-hailing platform services as a result of increased competition.
- From October 23, 2020, the date Senmiao launched its online ride-hailing platform, to June 30, 2023, approximately 31.9 million rides were completed (including orders completed on the platform operated by Senmiao and on partner platforms), with fares paid by riders totaling $103.1 million. As of August 14, 2023, Senmiao has operations in 26 cities in China, including Chengdu, Changsha and Guangzhou.
- Loss from operations narrowed to $0.8 million, from $1.4 million in the prior-year period.
- Net loss was $0.4 million, compared to net income of $0.2 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to a $1.3 million decrease in change in fair value of derivative liabilities.
Management Commentary
Xi Wen, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Senmiao, stated, "We were pleased to have achieved stable revenues for the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 ended June 30, 2023, despite increased competition in the online ride-hailing market in the major cities in which we operate. As a result of our strategic decision to utilize more NEVs, we successfully lowered cost of services, and were able to improve gross profit by 26.5% to $0.6 million. Our ongoing efforts to streamline our operations resulted in a 35.2% decrease in SG&A expenses from the prior-year period, which is critical as we work toward achieving sustainable profitability. While our online ride-hailing platform services business has been impacted by mounting competition in the near term, we remain optimistic about our ability to capture additional market share as travelling and commuting continue to recover in our core markets. This line of business complements our other major line of business, such as automobile rentals, and we continue to see a good amount of interest from drivers who want to lease their vehicles from Senmiao. As of June 30, 2023, we have helped facilitate nearly 32 million rides in 26 cities where we operate in China, and we will continue to pursue opportunities to expand our business through local partnerships, both in terms of scope and geography."
Financial Review
Revenues
Total revenues were $2.1 million for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $2.3 million in the prior-year period. During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the automobile rental business generated operating lease revenues of $1.1 million, compared to $0.9 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to the increased average utilization of the rented automobiles from 60.7% to 79.8%. The online ride-hailing platform services business generated revenues of $0.9 million, compared to $1.2 million in the prior-year period, mainly due to increased market competition during the period.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues decreased 19.6% to $1.5 million for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2023, from $1.9 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to decreased costs of automobiles under operating leases, decreased maintenance and insurance expense related to the automobile rental business as Senmiao used more NEVs during the period, as well as decreased direct expense and technical service fees for the online ride-hailing platform services business as a result of fewer completed orders, and decreased costs of automobile sold during the period.
Gross Profit
Gross profit was $0.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, an increase of 26.5% from $0.5 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to increased gross profit from Senmiao's automobile rental business, partially offset by decreased gross profit from online ride-hailing platform services.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 35.2% to $1.2 million for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2023, from $1.9 million in the prior-year period. The decrease was mainly attributable to the Company's continuous control on costs and ongoing initiatives to streamline its operations, which resulted in a $0.3 million decrease in salary and employee benefit expenses, decreased office expenditures and marketing expenses for the online ride-hailing platform, and other expense reductions.
Loss from Operations
Loss from operations for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2023 decreased to $0.8 million, compared to loss from operations of $1.4 million in the prior-year period. This was primarily due to the increased gross profit and $0.5 million decrease in total operating expenses.
Net Loss (Income)
Net loss for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2023, was $0.4 million, compared to net income of $0.2 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to a $1.3 million decrease in change in fair value of derivative liabilities.
Loss (Earnings) per Share
Loss per diluted share for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2023, was approximately $0.05 based on a weighted average number of basic and diluted common stock of 7.9 million, compared to earnings per diluted share of approximately $0.05 based on a weighted average number of basic and diluted common stock of 6.3 million in the prior-year period.
Financial Position
As of June 30, 2023, Senmiao had cash and cash equivalents of $1.2 million, compared to $1.6 million as of March 31, 2023. Total stockholders' equity was $3.5 million as of June 30, 2023, compared to $4.4 million as of March 31, 2023.
