Insights

Financial Analyst

Hywin Holdings Ltd. has had a turbulent first half of fiscal year 2024, with significant headwinds impacting their financial performance. The company's decision to exit the asset-backed products business and completely exit the wealth management and asset management businesses marks a major strategic shift. This move reflects the challenges faced in China's asset management sector, including significant redemption issues. The revenue drop of 23.6% to US$110.5 million indicates a severe impact on its operations.

From a financial perspective, the credit loss of RMB449.0 million (US$62.7 million) and impairment losses totaling RMB468.6 million (US$66.2 million) on goodwill and long-lived assets are major red flags. These figures underscore the difficulties Hywin is experiencing in managing its existing assets and challenges in transition.

The planned pivot to new technology-driven business models, like new retail and the metaverse, introduces an element of uncertainty. While these sectors are growing, the inherent risks and the time required to gain traction make this a speculative bet. For retail investors, this transition period may lead to short-term volatility and potential long-term gains if the company can successfully execute its strategy.

Hywin's current liquidity situation, with US$46.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, is concerning. The sharp decline from US$134.3 million in just six months highlights the financial strain the company is under. Investors should be cautious about the company's cash burn rate and its ability to finance new ventures.

The significant reduction in operational scale and revenue expected in the near term might affect investor confidence and stock price stability. However, the company's focus on innovative business models could potentially open new revenue streams in the long run.

Market Research Analyst

The strategic shift by Hywin Holdings Ltd. from wealth management to technology sectors like new retail and metaverse industries reflects a significant repositioning in response to industry challenges. This transition is noteworthy as it aligns with broader market trends where traditional financial players are increasingly exploring technology-driven opportunities.

However, the challenges faced by Hywin in its core business, including significant reductions in transaction value and revenue, indicate potential difficulties in maintaining client trust and operational continuity. The decline in transaction value of asset-backed products by 48.1% to RMB19.6 billion is particularly concerning, suggesting deep-rooted issues in client confidence and market conditions.

The growth in other segments, such as public market investment products and insurance products, demonstrates some resilience. The 111.0% increase in public market investment products transaction value to RMB3,353.0 million and 52.6% rise in insurance products indicate areas where Hywin still sees consumer demand and could leverage for future gains.

The company's pivot to technology sectors could attract a different investor demographic interested in tech innovations. However, the transition period will likely see reduced operational and revenue scales, which may pose risks to investors looking for steady returns.

Understanding the dynamics of the new sectors Hywin is entering will be crucial. The technology sector, while lucrative, comes with its own set of challenges, particularly in terms of rapid technological changes and high competition. Investors should weigh these factors heavily when considering the company's future potential.

Legal Expert

The legal challenges facing Hywin Holdings Ltd., particularly the securities class action lawsuit, add another layer of complexity to the company's already difficult situation. The litigation alleges violations of the Securities Act of 1933 and while the company disputes these claims, the legal proceedings could be lengthy and costly.

For retail investors, it's important to recognize the potential impact of ongoing litigation. Legal battles can result in significant financial liabilities, increased scrutiny from regulators and potential reputational damage, which can further strain the company’s resources and distract from core business activities.

Furthermore, the company’s proactive exit from the wealth management and asset management businesses may be partly aimed at mitigating further legal risks and focusing on less litigious sectors. However, the uncertainty associated with the outcome of the lawsuit could remain a cloud over Hywin's stock in the foreseeable future.

Investors should monitor the progress of this litigation and consider the potential ramifications. Litigation risks, combined with the company's strategic pivot, create a complex risk profile that requires careful consideration.

SHANGHAI, June 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hywin Holdings Ltd. (“Hywin” or the "Company") (NASDAQ: HYW) today announced its unaudited financial results for the first half of fiscal year 2024 ended December 31, 2023.

The Company’s businesses and operations in China faced significant headwinds as changes in the asset management industry, overall asset valuation levels in China and the economic environment presented challenges for the Company. The redemption issues of the asset-backed products business, which the Company has now discontinued, caused disruption to Hywin’s brand and operations and affected the confidence of clients, which resulted in a significant decline in total revenues and materially negative impact on bottom line, and adversely impacted results of operations and financial conditions during the reporting period.

As previously disclosed by the Company in our Form 6-K filed on December 14, 2023, with respect to the redemption issues of asset-backed products Hywin had historically distributed, while the Hywin Wealth Management Co. Ltd (“Hywin Wealth”), a variable interest entity in China, acted only as distributor of these products, Hywin Wealth continues to actively address these redemption issues on an ongoing basis by proactively coordinating with asset managers, relationship managers and clients to seek solutions and reduce client losses. In light of the overall liquidity conditions of the asset management industry in China, the Company estimates that it could take several years to coordinate asset managers and all clients to reach settlement.

The Company also announced on March 27, 2024, that our Board of Directors has approved the exit from the asset-backed products business in China, and furthermore on June 28, 2024, that our Board of Directors has approved a complete exit from the wealth management and asset management business. The Company has terminated its contractual arrangements with Hywin Wealth. As a result of such termination, Hywin Wealth has ceased to be a consolidated entity of the Company. The Company also announced that it will focus on new, innovative business models in the technology sector, including, among others, new retail, social e-commerce, and metaverse industries, and is planning to change its name from Hywin Holdings Ltd. to Santech Holdings Limited, subject to shareholder approval in an extraordinary general meeting to be held in due course.

The Company believes its business transformation will open up new opportunities for the Company. However, there are inherent uncertainties associated with such a business transformation. The Company anticipates a significant reduction in operational scale and revenue scale to persist in the near term.

The Board of Directors has approved the termination of VIE agreements with Hywin Wealth Management Co., Ltd. on June 28, 2024, which resulted in the discontinued operation of onshore wealth management businesses.

The following unaudited and unreviewed pro forma consolidated financial information reflects adjustments to the Company’s historical financial results as reported under U.S. GAAP, in connection with the termination of asset-backed products business. The unaudited and unreviewed pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended June 30, 2023, has been prepared with the assumption that the termination of asset-backed products business was completed as of July 1, 2022, and the effects of the transaction are carried forward to the unaudited and unreviewed pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the six months ended December 31, 2023. The unaudited and unreviewed pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, has been prepared with the assumption that the termination of asset-backed products business was consummated on that date.

The consolidated “as reported” column in the unaudited and unreviewed pro forma balance sheet and in the unaudited and unreviewed pro forma statement of comprehensive income reflects the Company’s historical financial statements for the periods presented. Assumptions and estimates underlying the pro forma adjustments column are described in the accompanying notes.

The unaudited and unreviewed pro forma consolidated financial information does not purport to be indicative of the results of operations or the financial condition which would have actually resulted if the termination of asset-backed products business actually occurred on the dates presented or to project our results of operations or financial position for any future period. This financial information may not be predictive of the future results of operations or financial condition of the Company, as the Company’s future results of operation and financial condition may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.

The unaudited and unreviewed pro forma financial information has been prepared by the Company based upon assumptions deemed appropriate by the Company’s management and are based upon information and assumptions available at the time of filing the Company’s current report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on June 28, 2024. The following unaudited and unreviewed pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with: (i) the accompanying notes to the unaudited and unreviewed pro forma consolidated financial information; and (ii) the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company which were included in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on October 18, 2023 and the Company’s unaudited interim report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on June 28, 2024.
