Financial Analyst

Cheche Group's Q2 2024 results show mixed signals. While net revenues increased by 2.5% YoY to RMB851.8 million, the company still reported a net loss of RMB23.6 million. However, this loss decreased by 16.4% YoY, indicating improved cost management. The adjusted net loss decreased more significantly by 38.8% to RMB12.2 million, suggesting better operational efficiency when excluding non-recurring items.

The company's focus on partnerships with New Energy Vehicle (NEV) companies is paying off, with policies embedded in new NEV deliveries growing by 147.3% and corresponding written premiums increasing by 99.6%. This aligns well with China's booming NEV market and could be a key growth driver for Cheche in the future.

Despite the positive trends, investors should note that Cheche is still operating at a loss. The company's ability to achieve profitability while maintaining growth will be important for long-term success.

Tech Expert

Cheche's technology platform is proving to be a key differentiator in the competitive auto insurance market. The 11.1% increase in total policies issued to 4.0 million demonstrates the scalability of their digital solutions. Their partnerships with NEV manufacturers, including Volkswagen Anhui and NIO, showcase the platform's adaptability to emerging market trends.

The company's R&D expenses decreased by 21.1%, which could be concerning if it impacts innovation. However, the efficiency gains in policy issuance suggest that previous R&D investments are yielding results. The focus on digital insurance solutions for NEV brands positions Cheche well in a rapidly evolving automotive landscape.

Cheche's ability to integrate with various automakers' systems, from ARCFOX to Beijing Automotive, demonstrates the flexibility of their technology stack. This versatility could be a significant competitive advantage as the auto insurance industry continues to digitize.

Market Research Analyst

The Chinese NEV market is showing strong growth potential, with retail sales rebounding to the second-highest on record and NEV penetration reaching new highs. Cheche's strategic focus on this sector is timely and could drive significant future growth. The partnerships with 12 NEV companies and the 147.3% increase in policies embedded in new NEV deliveries demonstrate Cheche's strong market positioning.

However, the overall auto insurance market appears to be growing more slowly, as evidenced by the modest 2.5% increase in net revenues. Cheche's ability to outperform the broader market through its NEV focus and technological edge will be important for sustained growth.

The company's full-year outlook projecting 6.1% to 12.1% revenue growth suggests cautious optimism. Investors should monitor Cheche's ability to capitalize on the NEV trend while navigating potential challenges in the traditional auto insurance market.

(1) Adjusted Net Loss is a non-GAAP measure. For further information on the non-GAAP financial measures presented above, see the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section below.
(2) The rapid growth of the NEV market has created new opportunities for auto insurance offerings and propelled revenue growth of auto insurance providers. Cheche started to collaborate with NEV manufacturers in 2022, and such collaborations yielded considerable results in 2023. Cheche believes that the further growth of the NEV market and the introduction of innovative NEV auto insurance solutions will further fuel the revenue contribution of its partnership with NEV manufacturers. The management of Cheche utilizes the number of partnerships with NEV manufacturers, the number of insurance policies embedded in the new NEV deliveries, and the amount of corresponding premium generated from such embedded policies as the main operating metrics to evaluate its business and presents such operating metrics for investors to better understand and evaluate Cheche's business.

Management Comments

"Cheche reported positively-trending bottom-line results and continues to see revenue growth driven in part by increased engagement with our ever-evolving technology platform," said Lei Zhang, Founder, CEO, and Chairman of Cheche. "As we continue to gain scale as the technology partner for NEVs and our visibility increases with traditional vehicle manufacturers, our market influence and ability to generate efficiencies continues to improve.

"The first two months of this quarter have seen retail sales of NEVs rebound to the second highest sales on record in China and the NEV penetration rate reach a new high in June as more Chinese consumers adopt electric vehicles. Through our new and ongoing partnerships with Volkswagen (Anhui), Xiaomi Group, and other NEV manufacturers we're able to effectively meet the ever-changing, intelligent insurance needs of car owners."

Unaudited Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Net Revenues were RMB851.8 million (US$117.2 million), representing a 2.5% year-over-year increase from the prior-year quarter. The growth was driven by the increase in insurance transactions conducted through Cheche's platform by referral partners and third-party platform partners.

Selling and Marketing Expenses increased 14.2% to RMB19.3 million (US$2.7 million) from RMB16.9 million in the prior-year quarter, mainly due to the increase in staff cost, marketing, and share-based compensation expenses. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, selling and marketing expenses were RMB18.3 (US$2.5 million) million, an increase of 12.2% compared to the prior-year quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Cheche has provided non-GAAP financial measures in this press release that have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States.

Cheche uses adjusted cost of revenues, adjusted selling and marketing expenses, adjusted general and administrative expenses, adjusted research and development expenses, adjusted total cost and operating expenses, adjusted net loss, and adjusted net loss per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.

Cheche defines adjusted total cost and operating expenses as total cost and operating expenses adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation, listing-related professional service fees and dispute resolution expenses, which represents expenses incurred by Cheche in connection with settling a dispute with a certain security holder. Cheche defines adjusted net loss as net loss adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, and changes in fair value of amounts due to a related party related to the acquisition of Cheche Insurance Sales & Services Co., Ltd. (previously named Fanhua Times Sales and Service Co., Ltd), change in fair value of warrants, listing related professional service fees and dispute resolution expenses. Adjusted net loss per share, basic and diluted, is calculated as adjusted net loss divided by weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding.

Cheche believes that these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets related to acquisition, and change in fair value of amounts due to a related party related to the acquisition of Cheche Insurance Sales & Services Co., Ltd. (previously named Fanhua Times Sales and Service Co., Ltd), change in fair value of warrants, and listing related professional service fees and dispute resolution expenses. Cheche believes that such non-GAAP financial measures also provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.

The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. They should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to net loss or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of Cheche's operating performance. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company's data. Cheche encourages investors and others to review the Company's financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. Investors are encouraged to compare the historical non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Cheche mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating its performance.
