Insights

Financial Analyst

So-Young's Q2 2024 results show a mixed performance. While total revenues decreased slightly by 1.1% year-over-year to RMB407.4 million, the company managed to swing to a net profit of RMB18.9 million, compared to a loss in the same period last year. This improvement in profitability is noteworthy.

The company's strategic shift towards medical product sales is paying off, with a significant 22.6% increase in this segment. However, the core information services revenue declined, indicating challenges in the platform business. The expansion of physical clinics could be a game-changer, but it's too early to assess its full impact.

While the company beat its revenue guidance, the Q3 outlook suggests a potential 4.0% to 9.2% year-over-year decline. This, coupled with the decrease in MAUs, raises concerns about user engagement and growth prospects. Investors should monitor these trends closely in the coming quarters.

Market Research Analyst

So-Young's Q2 results reflect the ongoing transformation in China's medical aesthetics industry. The company's pivot towards a more integrated model, including product sales and physical clinics, is a strategic response to changing market dynamics. The success of the Beijing clinic in terms of repeat customer rates and customer acquisition costs is particularly promising.

However, the decline in platform subscribers and MAUs suggests a shift in how consumers and providers interact in this space. The company's focus on upstream product development and customization could be a differentiator, but it also increases competition with established beauty brands.

The medical aesthetics market in China remains volatile, with regulatory changes and consumer sentiment shifts. So-Young's diversification strategy may provide more stability, but it also increases operational complexity. The company's ability to execute across multiple business lines will be important for long-term success.

BEIJING, Aug. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- So-Young International Inc. (Nasdaq: SY) ("So-Young" or the "Company"), the largest and most vibrant social community in China for consumers, professionals and service providers in the medical aesthetics industry, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

• Net income attributable to So-Young International Inc. was RMB18.9 million (US$2.6 million), compared with net loss attributable to So-Young International Inc. of RMB2.6 million in the same period of 2023.
• Non-GAAP net income attributable to So-Young International Inc.^[2] was RMB22.2 million (US$3.1 million), compared with non-GAAP net income attributable to So-Young International Inc. of RMB15.5 million in the same period of 2023.

Second Quarter 2024 Operational Highlights

• Average mobile MAUs were 1.5 million, compared with 3.0 million in the second quarter of 2023.

Mr. Xing Jin, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of So-Young, commented, "Our performance during the second quarter was solid with total revenue beating guidance on the back of a significant 22.6% year-over-year increase in sales of medical products and maintenance services. This solid performance is directly attributable to our strategic initiatives and ability to capitalize on industry trends and enhance the overall vertical integration and diversification of our business. We made significant progress in expanding our chain of clinics, opening 14 in prime commercial areas across eight core cities. Notably, our Beijing clinic continues to lead the industry in key operating metrics, including repeat customer rates and customer acquisition costs. We plan to swiftly replicate this proven model in other cities to further expand our offline footprint. Leveraging the reputational strength of our brand and extensive consumer behavior data, we have built a solid foundation to drive upstream product development and customization. Product sales continue to grow rapidly with a strong and diversified pipeline currently in development with our partners. Moving forward, we will continue to explore opportunities across the upstream, midstream and downstream sectors, solve industry pain points, and lead the industry towards a new era of quality medical aesthetics."

Mr. Hui Zhao, Chief Financial Officer of So-Young, added, "Growth during the quarter was fueled by the progress we made in integrating our platform across the medical aesthetic value chain. This not only promotes the high-quality and sustainable development of the industry, but also further strengthens our market position. As we accelerate the development of our new businesses, we will continue to prudently manage costs and enhance operational efficiency. We are confident that these strategic initiatives will continue to drive sustainable growth and enhance shareholder value over the long-term."

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results     

Revenues

Total revenues were RMB407.4 million (US$56.1 million), a decrease of 1.1% from RMB412.1 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the number of medical service providers subscribing to information services on So-Young's platform.

• Information services and other revenues were RMB279.2 million (US$38.4 million), a decrease of 6.6% from RMB298.9 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the number of medical service providers subscribing to information services on So-Young's platform.
• Reservation services revenues were RMB22.4 million (US$3.1 million), a decrease of 16.9% from RMB26.9 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the policy change for commission rates and subsidies.
• Sales of medical products and maintenance services were RMB105.8 million (US$14.6 million), an increase of 22.6% from RMB86.3 million in the same period of 2023, primarily due to an increase in the order volumes for cosmetic products.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues was RMB155.1 million (US$21.3 million), an increase of 3.1% from RMB150.4 million in the second quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in costs associated with sales of cosmetic products. Cost of revenues included share-based compensation expenses of RMB0.2 million (US$0.0 million), compared with the share-based compensation expenses of RMB0.4 million in the corresponding period of 2023.

• Cost of services and others were RMB101.9 million (US$14.0 million), a decrease of 4.4% from RMB106.5 million in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the cost of services associated with So-Young Prime.
• Cost of medical products sold and maintenance services were RMB53.2 million (US$7.3 million), an increase of 21.3% from RMB43.9 million in the second quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in costs associated with the sales of cosmetic products.

• Sales and marketing expenses were RMB132.3 million (US$18.2 million), a decrease of 4.1% from RMB137.9 million in the second quarter of 2023.

Sales and marketing expenses included share-based compensation expenses of RMB0.2 million (US$0.0 million), compared with RMB0.8 million in the corresponding period of 2023.
• General and administrative expenses were RMB70.8 million (US$9.7 million), a decrease of 23.3% from RMB92.3 million in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in share-based compensation expenses and professional consulting fees. General and administrative expenses included share-based compensation expenses of RMB2.0 million (US$0.3 million), compared with RMB15.5 million in the corresponding period of 2023. The decrease in share-based compensation expenses was due to the compensation costs of the restricted share units granted in 2023, which were fully recognized by the end of the first quarter of 2024.
• Research and development expenses were RMB42.5 million (US$5.8 million), a decrease of 18.5% from RMB52.1 million in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to improvements in staff efficiency.

Income Tax Benefits

Income tax benefits were RMB2.6 million (US$0.4 million), compared with income tax benefits of RMB0.8 million in the same period of 2023.

The above outlook is based on the current market conditions and reflects the Company's preliminary estimates of market and operating conditions, as well as customer demand, which are all subject to change.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, this press release presents non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations and non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to So-Young International Inc. by excluding share-based compensation expenses from income/(loss) from operations and net income/(loss) attributable to So-Young International Inc., respectively. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are important to help investors understand the Company's operating and financial performance, compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and assess the Company's core operating results, as they exclude certain expenses that are not expected to result in cash payments. The use of the above non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations. Share-based compensation expenses have been and will continue to be incurred in the future. All these are not reflected in the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures, but should be considered in the overall evaluation of the Company's results. The Company compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of its share-based compensation expenses in the reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is set forth at the end of this release.
