Total revenues increased by 3.9% to RMB316.3 million<\/span> (US$43.8 million<\/span>) in the first quarter of 2024 from RMB304.3 million<\/span> in the same period of 2023, primarily caused by increase of average revenue per paying user (“ARPPU”), our ARPPU in the first quarter of 2024 increased by 18% comparing to the same period of 2023 as the economy recovers in China<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The decrease was primarily attributable to a 50%, or RMB7.1 million<\/span>, year-over-year decrease in users acquisition costs in the first quarter of 2024, due to the fact that the Company already had a stable market share.<\/p>\n

Gross profit increased by 32.4% to RMB53.1 million<\/span> (US$7.4 million<\/span>) in the first quarter of 2024 from RMB40.1 million<\/span> in the same period of 2023. Gross margin in the first quarter of 2024 and 2023 was 16.8% and 13.2%, respectively.<\/p>\n

General and administrative expenses increased by 15.1% to RMB19.9 million<\/span> (US$2.8 million<\/span>) in the first quarter of 2024 from RMB17.3 million<\/span> in the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase of RMB2.9 million<\/span> in employee salary and welfare. Research and development expenses increased by 28.1% to RMB21.5 million<\/span> (US$3.0 million<\/span>) in the first quarter of 2024 from RMB16.8 million<\/span> in the same period of 2023, due to an increase of RMB4.1 million<\/span> in technical services fees. Recovery of credit losses amounted to RMB0.6 million<\/span> (US$0.09 million<\/span>) in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to a provision for credit losses of RMB0.9 million<\/span> in the same period of 2023. <\/p>\n

Change in fair value of contingent consideration was nil in the first quarter of 2024, as compared to a loss of RMB4.5 million<\/span> in the same period of 2023.

In February 2024<\/span>, the Company’s warrants expired according to the terms of the warrant agreement. As of February 6, 2024<\/span>, the Company has no warrants issued and outstanding.<\/p>\n

Change in fair value of investment in marketable security amounted to a loss of RMB3.2 million<\/span> (US$0.4 million<\/span>) in the first quarter of 2024, as compared with a gain of RMB1.6 million<\/span> in the same period of 2023.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures<\/p>\n

Adjusted net income is calculated as net income adjusted for change in fair value of contingent consideration, change in fair value of warrant liability and share based compensation. Adjusted basic and diluted net income per ordinary share is non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ordinary share. The non-GAAP financial measures are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. As non-GAAP financial measures have material limitations as analytical metrics and may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-GAAP financial measures as a substitute for, or superior to, such metrics in accordance with US GAAP.<\/p>\n

For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Results” near the end of this release.<\/p>\n

First Quarter 2024 Financial Results<\/p>\n

Total revenues increased by 3.9% to RMB316.3 million<\/span> (US$43.8 million<\/span>) in the first quarter of 2024 from RMB304.3 million<\/span> in the same period of 2023, primarily caused by increase of average revenue per paying user (“ARPPU”), our ARPPU in the first quarter of 2024 increased by 18% comparing to the same period of 2023 as the economy recovers in China<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Cost of revenues decreased by 0.4% to RMB263.2 million<\/span> (US$36.5 million<\/span>) in the first quarter of 2024 from RMB264.2 million<\/span> in the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to a 50%, or RMB7.1 million<\/span>, year-over-year decrease in users acquisition costs in the first quarter of 2024, due to the fact that the Company already had a stable market share.<\/p>\n

Gross profit increased by 32.4% to RMB53.1 million<\/span> (US$7.4 million<\/span>) in the first quarter of 2024 from RMB40.1 million<\/span> in the same period of 2023. Gross margin in the first quarter of 2024 and 2023 was 16.8% and 13.2%, respectively.<\/p>\n

General and administrative expenses increased by 15.1% to RMB19.9 million<\/span> (US$2.8 million<\/span>) in the first quarter of 2024 from RMB17.3 million<\/span> in the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase of RMB2.9 million<\/span> in employee salary and welfare. Research and development expenses increased by 28.1% to RMB21.5 million<\/span> (US$3.0 million<\/span>) in the first quarter of 2024 from RMB16.8 million<\/span> in the same period of 2023, due to an increase of RMB4.1 million<\/span> in technical services fees.

The fair value of the Company’s warrants derivative liability assumed from the SPAC acquisition is re-measured to its fair value at the end of each reporting period, with the change being recorded as other expense or gain. In February 2024<\/span>, the Company’s warrants expired according to the terms of the warrant agreement. As of February 6, 2024<\/span>, the Company has no warrants issued and outstanding.<\/p>\n

Change in fair value of investment in marketable security amounted to a loss of RMB3.2 million<\/span> (US$0.4 million<\/span>) in the first quarter of 2024, as compared with a gain of RMB1.6 million<\/span> in the same period of 2023.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures<\/p>\n

Adjusted net income is calculated as net income adjusted for change in fair value of contingent consideration, change in fair value of warrant liability and share based compensation. Adjusted basic and diluted net income per ordinary share is non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ordinary share. The non-GAAP financial measures are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. As non-GAAP financial measures have material limitations as analytical metrics and may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-GAAP financial measures as a substitute for, or superior to, such metrics in accordance with US GAAP.<\/p>\n

For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Results” near the end of this release.<\/p>\n
