Mr.
Mr. Dai added, “Over the past several years, we have continuously evolved Uxin’s business model to better meet consumer demand and have experienced rapid growth in both transaction volume and revenues. As we continue to expand our business, we will increase our focus on achieving more sustainable growth by implementing the following three initiatives. First, we will continue shifting our resources to the cross-regional business, where we see great market opportunities. In addition to targeting this significant growth potential, our strategic focus on cross-regional transactions will enable us to generate greater revenue and take us one step closer to profitability. Second, we will continue to improve our operational efficiency by taking a more rigorous approach to cost control and expense management. Third, we will adopt more stringent risk-control procedures and concentrate our resources on used car assets with better risk profiles. This will ensure that we build an even stronger foundation and improve cashflow. With our commitment to executing these strategic initiatives and continuing to enhance our value proposition, we are confident that we can extend our market leadership in China’s used car e-commerce sector and build a sustainable business over the long term.”

Business Outlook
In order to achieve more sustainable growth, the Company will increase its focus on its core business and further expand 2C cross-regional services, adopt more rigorous measures to control costs and manage expenses to enhance operational efficiency, and take a more stringent approach to risk control to improve overall asset quality and cashflow.
Taking into account the effects of these measures,
1 M3+ delinquency rate is defined as the outstanding principal balance of used car loans that were 90 or more calendar days past due as a percentage of the sum of total outstanding principal balance of the used car loans facilitated through the Company’s 2C business (including the principal of loans it paid financing partners under its guarantee to financing partners) as of a specific date.
2 Take rate is measured by the revenue of the 2C/2B used car business divided by the GMV of the 2C/2B used car business.

About
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.
