We facilitated over 160,000 used car transactions on our 2C platform in the fourth quarter, representing a year-on-year increase of 93.6%. More importantly, we experienced an exponential growth in cross-regional transactions, with transaction volume exceeding 10,000 used cars in December alone, and over 22,000 in the fourth quarter. This reflects the revolutionary impact of our business model on China’s used car supply chain, as well as growing appreciation of Uxin’s brand and services.”

Mr. Dai added, “Looking into 2019, we will continue to increase our focus on the 2C business. From a commercial perspective, we see much greater growth potential in the 2C business, especially in terms of cross-regional transactions. We have identified a number of strategic initiatives to strengthen our capabilities on this front. For example, we will adopt a franchise model to complement our self-operated service centers, in order to better penetrate lower-tier cities and expand coverage of our offline network. Regarding our 2B business, while it may decline as a proportion of total revenues as a result of our strategic shift to the 2C business, it will continue to serve as an important arm of our group, as it enables us to strengthen our relationships with dealers and enhance the stickiness to our platform, thus facilitating the growth of our 2C business. As we implement these initiatives and continue to enhance our value proposition, we are confident that we will solidify our position as China’s largest used car e-commerce platform.”

Mr. Zhen Zeng, Chief Financial Officer of Uxin, said, “Our strong execution across all business lines helped us conclude the year on a strong footing. Total revenues increased by 61.6% year-on-year to RMB1.1 billion in the fourth quarter, primarily driven by the robust growth of our 2C business, which increased by 118.3% year-on-year. We also expanded our gross margin to 68.9% in the fourth quarter from 64.9% in the same period last year, reflecting the ongoing optimization of our business model and effective cost control measures. Moreover, we continued to gain operating leverage during the fourth quarter as we benefited from greater scale and operating efficiency. In particular, we made strong progress optimizing sales and marketing with related expenses declining to 60.6% as a percentage of revenues in the fourth quarter, compared to 87.5% in the prior quarter, and 98.7% in the same period last year. Going forward, we will continue to focus on driving the growth of our 2C business while increasing operating efficiency to build a sustainable business and generate long-term value for our shareholders.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses a non-GAAP measure, adjusted loss from operations, adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share, as a supplemental measure to review and assess its operating performance. The presentation of the 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 loss from operations excluding share-based compensation. The Company defines adjusted net loss as net (loss)/income excluding share-based compensation and fair value change of derivative liabilities. The Company presents the non-GAAP financial measure because it is used by the management to evaluate the operating performance and formulate business plans. Adjusted net loss enables the management to assess the Company’s operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation and fair value change of derivative liabilities, which are non-cash charges. The Company also believes that the use of the non-GAAP measure facilitates investors' assessment of its operating performance. 

The 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 analytical tools. 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 and fair value change of derivative liabilities have been and may continue to be incurred in the business and is not reflected in the presentation of adjusted net loss. Further, the non-GAAP measure may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their 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 the Company’s performance. The Company encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Reconciliations of Uxin’s non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure are included at the end of this press release.
