HANGZHOU, China, Aug. 25, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Yunji Inc. (“Yunji” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: YJ), a leading membership-based social e-commerce platform, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020¹.

Second Quarter 2020 Highlights

• GMV² in the second quarter of 2020 was RMB7.8 billion (US$1.1 billion), compared with RMB8.2 billion in the same period of 2019. GMV related to marketplace revenues in the second quarter of 2020 was RMB4.9 billion (US$0.7 billion), compared with RMB2.2 billion in the same period of 20195.
   
• Total revenues in the second quarter of 2020 were RMB1,486.9 million (US$210.5 million), compared with RMB3,064.1 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to an increase in the proportion of the Company’s business contributed from its marketplace business, which recognizes revenues on a net basis.
   
• Transacting members³ in the twelve months ended June 30, 2020 continued to increase to 12.2 million due to the Company’s ongoing refinement of its membership enrollment system since January 2020.

Mr. Shanglue Xiao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yunji, said, “We continued to lay the foundation for our long-term growth by shifting more of our sales volumes to our marketplace model, establishing partnerships with quality emerging brands and introducing additional attractive private label brands to users on our platform as well as other platforms. We began to leverage our differentiated product offerings and unique value proposition during the second quarter to engage a more diverse range of partners and further develop our online-offline integrated sales channels for private label brand, emerging brand, and joint-venture brand products. In recognition of the increasingly vital role that social sharing is playing throughout the social e-commerce purchasing process, we decided to allocate a larger portion of our resources towards service manager training on best practices for user interactions. Users have responded well to our increasingly refined product purchasing experience, and we expect to continue making progress on this front in the future. Looking ahead, we believe that our competitive advantages in supply chain, unique product offerings, and social features have positioned us well to widen our economic moats and enter into a new growth cycle going forward. Meanwhile, we would also like to express our appreciation to our suppliers, third-party merchants, third-party logistics service providers, and other business partners, who stood together with us during our gradual recovery from COVID-19 pandemic in this quarter.”

“In the second quarter of 2020, we continued to focus on shifting more of our sales volumes to our marketplace model and to refine our membership enrollment system. As expected, our topline performance was impacted by our commitment to these overarching goals in the period. Despite many industry players offering subsidies to boost sales, we decided to forgo such short-term distractions and instead focus on implementing our long-term growth plan and effective cost control measures. As such, we reported an adjusted net income of RMB20.1 million in the quarter as compared to an adjusted net loss in the same period of 2019, further showcasing the consistent progress we are making towards healthy profitability. In addition, to meet our operational and liquidity needs in light of COVID-19, we continued to closely and proactively monitor our cash flow, making a consistent effort to settle our payment with increasingly favorable terms to us and maintain a healthy level of working capital.” said Mr. Chen Chen, Chief Financial Officer of Yunji.

Second Quarter 2020 Unaudited Financial Results

Total revenues were RMB1,486.9 million (US$210.5 million), compared with RMB3,064.1 million in the same period of 2019, which was primarily due to a decrease in revenues from sales of merchandise as a result of an increase in the proportion of the Company’s business contributed from its marketplace business. Revenues generated through the marketplace business are recognized on a net basis and contributed to marketplace revenues, while revenues generated from merchandise sales are recognized on a gross basis and contributed to sales of merchandise, net.

• Revenues from sales of merchandise, net decreased by 52.4% to RMB1,299.3 million (US$183.9 million) from RMB2,731.6 million in the same period of 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in GMV related to merchandise sales as the Company continued to refine its resource allocation plan to further improve the operational efficiencies of its merchandise sales, marketplace business, and merchants on the platform.
   
• Revenues from the membership program were RMB12.3 million (US$1.7 million), compared with RMB267.6 million in the same period of 2019. The decrease was due to the Company’s ongoing refinement of its membership enrollment system. Starting from January 2020, the Company has allowed for any user to become a member and enjoy membership benefits free of charge for one year by simply registering for an account on the Yunji app. Revenues from the membership program in the second quarter of 2020 were from the deferred revenue of prior paying members.
   
• Revenues from the marketplace business increased by 201.3% to RMB159.6 million (US$22.6 million) from RMB53.0 million in the same period of 2019, which was the result of the increased number of popular brands and merchants on the Company's platform and higher commission rates for its marketplace business.
   
• Other revenues increased by 31.4% to RMB15.6 million (US$2.2 million) from RMB11.9 million in the same period of 2019.        

Total cost of revenues decreased by 55.8% to RMB1,053.7 million (US$149.1 million) from RMB2,383.1 million in the same period of 2019. This decrease was mainly attributable to the decline in merchandise sales, which recognize revenues on a gross basis. Total cost of revenues was mainly composed of those costs related to the sales of merchandise revenue in the second quarter of 2020 due to the start of the free membership program from January 2020.

Total operating expenses decreased by 38.6% to RMB486.6 million (US$68.9 million) from RMB792.9 million in the same period of 2019.

• Fulfillment expenses decreased by 56.5% to RMB129.0 million (US$18.3 million), or 8.7% of total revenues, from RMB296.5 million, or 9.7% of total revenues, in the same period of 2019. The decrease was mainly due to: (i) reduced warehousing and logistics expenses due to lower merchandise sales and improved logistics efficiency, (ii) decreased third-party payment transaction fees due to lower commission rates, and (iii) reduced personnel costs due to headcount optimization.
   
• Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 32.7% to RMB228.4 million (US$32.3 million), or 15.4% of total revenues, from RMB339.4 million, or 11.1% of total revenues, in the same period of 2019. The decrease was mainly due to the reduction in member management fees, resulting from improvements to member management efficiency.
   
• Technology and content expenses decreased by 36.0% to RMB58.6 million (US$8.3 million), or 3.9% of total revenues, from RMB91.6 million, or 3.0% of total revenues, in the same period of 2019. The decrease was mainly due to reduced server costs resulting from the better contract terms that the Company was able to secure with its server providers as well as reduced personnel costs as a result of headcount optimization.
   
• General and administrative expenses increased by 8.1% to RMB70.7 million (US$10.0 million), or 4.8% of total revenues, from RMB65.4 million, or 2.1% of total revenues, in the same period of 2020. The increase was mainly due to: (i) increased share-based compensation expenses, resulting from new grants of share-based awards, and (ii) increased professional service fees, including auditor and attorney fees, which were partially offset by reduced personnel costs as a result of headcount optimization.

Loss from operations was RMB45.2 million (US$6.4 million), compared with RMB103.9 million in the same period of 2019.

Net loss was RMB17.5 million (US$2.5 million), compared with RMB84.5 million in the same period of 2019.

Adjusted net income⁴ was RMB20.1 million (US$2.8 million), compared with an adjusted net loss of RMB39.2 million in the same period of 2019.

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to ordinary shareholders was RMB0.01 (US$0.001), compared with RMB0.28 in the same period of 2019.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses adjusted net income/(loss) as a supplemental measure to review and assess operating performance. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure 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 income/(loss) as net income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation.

The Company presents adjusted net income/(loss) because it is used by management to evaluate operating performance and formulate business plans. Adjusted net income/(loss) enables management to assess operating performance without considering the impact of share-based compensation recorded under ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. The Company also believes that the use of this non-GAAP measure facilitates investors’ assessment of operating performance.

This non-GAAP financial measure is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool. One of the key limitations of using adjusted net income/(loss) is that it does not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations. Share-based compensation has been and may continue to be incurred in Yunji’s business and is not reflected in the presentation of adjusted net income/(loss). Further, this non-GAAP measure may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore its comparability may be limited.

The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating performance. Yunji encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to The Most Directly Comparable Financial Measures” set forth at the end of this press release.
