Second Quarter 2021 Operational Highlights

• Number of paying customers increased to 2,634 in the second quarter of 2021 from 2,396 in the second quarter of 2020.

Mr. Weidong Luo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Aurora Mobile, commented, “This was the second quarter where we operated exclusively under the pure SAAS business model and our business transformation continued to pay off. We delivered strong results with revenues, gross profit, and gross margin increased substantially while Adjusted EBITDA improved 27% from a year ago demonstrating our strong operating leverage. Additionally, the number of SAAS Businesses paying customers increased to 2,634 from 2,281 a year ago, up 15% year-over-year.

Revenues from our SAAS Businesses continued their strong growth momentum this quarter, mainly due to the 34% growth in both Developer Services and Vertical Applications. The successful transition into the pure SAAS business model since the beginning of 2021 has helped us to deliver two consecutive quarters with gross margin above 75%, a significant improvement from 41% a year ago. The strong gross profit growth of our SAAS Businesses was mainly driven by revenue growth of 34% year-over-year.

We continued to see strong market demand for our new products, namely JG UMS (“Unification Messaging System”) and JG VAAS (“Video-as-a-Service”) since their respective launches. The current and potential customers for these products come from a wide and diversified number of industries, including finance, medical and healthcare, media, short video content providers, social networks, e-commerce platforms and more. We also recently launched a free version of JG UMS to give potential customers a trial opportunity before converting them into paying customers. We expect the launch of the free version to accelerate the go-to-market process for our JG UMS product.

On the product innovation front, we recently introduced a “smart push” version of our JPush service, which added a new post push analytical functionality to the integrated platform. With this new post-analytical function, developers are given message delivery data from different levels and the ability to review the full push message delivery cycle. We believe this new functionality will help app developers to create more reliable, comprehensive and intelligent toolkits, which in-turn will increase the delivery rates and click-through rates of the push messages by providing a much more accurate push strategy based on learnings from past results.”

Mr. Fei Chen, President of Aurora Mobile, added, “Revenues from Developer Services reached RMB61.2 million, a robust 34% and 17% growth, on a year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter basis respectively. The year-over-year revenue growth was fueled by strong growth of 22% in Subscription Services and 57% growth in Value-added-services (“VAS”).

Subscription Services revenues were RMB37.5 million, an increase of 22% year-over-year, primarily driven by new customer acquisition. In addition, we continued cross-selling various non-push subscription products (such as JVerification, JSMS, JAnalytics) to our customers in an effort to increase our subscription uptake via multiple product lines. This effort has delivered solid results as the revenue contribution of non-push subscription products increased to 38% from 32% a year ago.

Value-added-services within Developer Services, which include revenues from JG Alliance products and Advertisement SAAS, once again delivered a set of impressive results where revenues grew by 57% year-over-year to RMB23.6 million from RMB15.1 million in Q2’2020 and by 26% quarter-over-quarter from RMB18.8 million in Q1’2021. We continued to see very strong and solid demand for our JG Alliance products.

On the supply side of the JG Alliance, we continued to sign up more mobile apps in order to grow this traffic pool. The total number of apps within our network exceeded 340 compared to 280 in Q1’2021, representing a 23% growth quarter-over-quarter. As a result of apps growth within the traffic pool, the DAU within our network has increased by 20% to 180 million from 150 million in Q1’2021. On the demand side, we continued to see strong demand from mini-program developers which contributed close to 40% of JG Alliance’s revenues. To further expand market reach and shorten the go-to-market process, we have used ad agencies to help us cover a broader customer base, while our direct sales team focused on serving large KA customers.

Vertical Applications revenues which include Financial Risk Management, Market Intelligence and iZone grew by 34% year-over-year as demand continued to recover from the impact of the pandemic, with the majority of the revenue growth coming from the Financial Risk Management business. In the Financial Risk Management business, revenues increased significantly by 42% year-over-year with the help of the 55% growth in ARPU. This quarter, we recorded the highest quarterly revenues, compared with results since the beginning of COVID-19 in Q1’2020. We continued to see strong demand for this product from KA customers such as banks and licensed financial institutions.”

Mr. Shan-Nen Bong, Chief Financial Officer of Aurora Mobile, added, “For the second quarter of 2021, we delivered another set of solid financial results. For year-over-year comparison, our SAAS Businesses revenues increased significantly by 34% and group gross margin improved from 41% to 75.7%, a direct result of gross margin this quarter being 100% contributed by high-margin SAAS Businesses. As a result, our Adjusted EBITDA improved by 27%, which continues to demonstrate the scalability of our business model.

As we have shifted away from the legacy Targeted Marketing services to focus on the SAAS Businesses along with the company-wide focus on improving collection, our AR turnover days decreased significantly from 59 days in Q2’2020 to 38 days this quarter. Our total deferred revenue balance, which represents cash collected in advance from customers, exceeded RMB100.0 million at quarter-end for the fifth consecutive quarter. As of June 30, 2021, the balance was RMB111.5 million.”

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Revenues were RMB89.0 million (US$13.8 million), a decrease of 32% from RMB130.8 million in the same quarter of last year, mainly due to a 100% decrease in revenues from the legacy Targeted Marketing business as the Company exited this business by the end of 2020, and offset by the strong growth in revenues of 34% from both Developer Services and Vertical Applications. In particular, the revenues from Value-added-services within Developer Services increased by 57% compared to the same quarter of last year.

Cost of revenues was RMB21.6 million (US$3.3 million), a decrease of 72% from RMB77.1 million in the same quarter of last year. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in media cost of RMB52.6 million as the Company has completely exited from the legacy Targeted Marketing business by the end of 2020.

Gross profit was RMB67.4 million (US$10.4 million), an increase of 26% from RMB53.7 million in the same quarter of last year despite revenues decreased by 32% on a year-over-year basis. This is the result of our successful strategic shift in focus from a low margin legacy Targeted Marketing model to a high margin pure SAAS business model. Gross profit in the second quarter of 2021 was 100% contributed from SAAS Businesses.

Total operating expenses were RMB105.3 million (US$16.3 million), an increase of 7% from RMB98.8 million in the same quarter of last year.

• Research and development expenses were RMB54.3 million (US$8.4 million), an increase of 16% from RMB47.0 million in the same quarter of last year, mainly due to a RMB1.7 million increase in personnel costs and a RMB6.7 million increase in bandwidth and cloud cost to support the expansion of SAAS Businesses. The impact was partially offset by a RMB0.8 million decrease in depreciation.
• Sales and marketing expenses were RMB27.0 million (US$4.2 million), an increase of 1% from RMB26.8 million in the same quarter of last year, mainly due to a RMB1.1 million increase in marketing expense and a RMB0.8 million increase in travel expense. The impact was partially offset by a RMB1.6 million decrease in personnel costs.
• General and administrative expenses were RMB23.9 million (US$3.7 million), a decrease of 4% from RMB25.0 million in the same quarter of last year, mainly due to a RMB1.2 million decrease in bad debt provision which was the result of our company-wide concerted focus on strict financial control measures.
  

Loss from operations was RMB37.9 million (US$5.9 million), compared with RMB45.1 million in the same quarter of last year.

Net Loss was RMB29.3 million (US$4.5 million), compared with RMB40.4 million in the same quarter of last year.

Adjusted net loss (non-GAAP) was RMB23.6 million (US$3.7 million), compared with RMB32.1 million in the same quarter of last year.

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was negative RMB13.3 million (US$2.1 million) compared with negative RMB18.3 million for the same quarter of last year. This was also our best Adjusted EBITDA performance since the first quarter of 2020.

The cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investment were RMB297.2 million (US$46.0 million) as of June 30, 2021 compared with RMB436.2 million as of December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to convertible notes valued at US$35.0 million were fully redeemed in April 2021.

Business Outlook

Our new full year 2021 revenue guidance is in the range of RMB342.0 million to RMB360.0 million, representing growth of 33% to 40% year-over-year compared with last year, and guidance for our full year gross margin remains above 70%. The update is primarily due to the revised outlook for our JG Alliance business. The use of third-party agents for our Developer Services (Value-added-services) business has caused a change in the accounting method for our revenues from gross revenues to net revenues, net of any agent rebates. In addition, due to the recent macro environment uncertainties some of our potential JG Alliance partners have temporarily delayed joining and integrating with our traffic supply network. However, the longer-term outlook for the JG Alliance remains unchanged and we still expect it to be our main growth driver going forward.

Please note that, for meaningful comparison purposes, the prior year revenue number used to calculate the growth percentage excludes revenues from Targeted Marketing business. The above outlook is based on the current market conditions and reflects the Company’s current and preliminary estimates of market and operating conditions and customer demand, which are all subject to change.

Update on Share Repurchase

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had repurchased a total of 920,606 ADS. No ADS were repurchased during the second quarter in 2021.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses two non-GAAP measures, adjusted net loss and adjusted EBITDA, as a supplemental measure to review and assess its operating performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures 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 net loss as net loss excluding share-based compensation and change in fair value of foreign currency swap contract. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net loss excluding interest expense, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, income tax expenses, share-based compensation and change in fair value of foreign currency swap contract.

The Company believes that adjusted net loss and adjusted EBITDA help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that it includes in loss from operations and net loss.

The Company believes that adjusted net loss and adjusted EBITDA 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 the management in their 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. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using adjusted net loss and adjusted EBITDA is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations. Further, the non-GAAP financial measures 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 measures 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 the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure are included at the end of this press release.
