^1^	“Non-GAAP net income” is defined as net income excluding<br>share-based compensation expenses. See “Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” at the end of this press release.

“Since the start of the second quarter, our business and supply chain operations have largely returned back to normal. In addition, we have seen meaningful signs of an overall industry recovery and we have accelerated the execution of our growth strategy for this year. Last week, we hosted our virtual 5G IoT Strategy and 2020 New Product Launch Event, where we presented our vision and product strategy for the imminent 5G + IoT era. The centerpiece of the event was the introduction of our state-of-the-art 21Face Interactive Smart Screen (TV). Equipped with industry-leading specifications, innovative motion-control capabilities and rich content offerings, this product will complete our vision for the fully-integrated and screen-filled IoT @ Home lifestyle experience. In addition, we announced a series of exciting next-generation products, including new lines of water purifiers, 21Face large-screen refrigerators, washing machines, various smart kitchen products and smart devices, together with new online content offerings and partnerships to enhance our user engagement. Moreover, we are expanding our premium AI-centric ‘coKiing’ brand with introductions of additional product categories across full home scenarios, further diversifying our brand and our consumer market. We expect these key initiatives, built upon our successes over the past several years, to bring the Viomi brand to the forefront and the standard-bearer of 5G + IoT for the home environment,” Mr. Chen added.

“Looking ahead in 2020 and beyond, we will adhere to dynamic and prudent business practices while maintaining stable expansion under our 5G + IoT strategic framework. We are fully committed to and confident in achieving our ‘3511’ long-term objectives, our roadmap to becoming a large-scale, high-tech leader in the IoT @ Home space,” concluded Mr. Chen.

“We achieved a solid double-digit increase in net revenues, exceeding our previous guidance, despite the adverse industry conditions in the first quarter. This can be largely attributed to our diversified business, product and channel mix as well as our ever-increasing brand awareness across sales channels and among end-consumers. We also continued to sustain a healthy level of profitability, having implemented a number of stringent cost control measures to offset the adverse industry-wide impacts of COVID-19, while maintaining our commitment to research and development. The Company’s balance sheet remained strong, with approximately RMB1.2 billion of cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits and investments as of March 31, 2020,” Mr. Shun Jiang, Chief Financial Officer of Viomi, commented.

“While uncertainties remain, we believe our financial strength and operational flexibility will position us well to capture the opportunities ahead, as the industry and broader economy continue to recover,” Mr. Jiang concluded.

FirstQuarter 2020 Financial Results

Net revenues were RMB765.5 million (US$108.1 million), compared to RMB676.2 million for the first quarter of 2019, primarily due to the successful rollout and increased sales of certain Xiaomi-branded and Viomi-branded products, offsetting the broader industry-wide impacts of COVID-19.

IoT-enabled smart home products. Revenues from IoT-enabled smart home products increased by 8.0% to RMB542.7 million (US$76.6 million) from RMB502.5 million for the first quarter of 2019, primarily due to the continued successful rollout of the Company’s smart kitchen products and other smart products.

•	Smart water purification systems. Revenues from smart water purification systems decreased by 10.0% to<br>RMB108.0 million (US$15.3 million) from RMB120.0 million for the first quarter of 2019. The decline was primarily due to decreases in average selling prices, despite a double-digit year-on-year growth in sales volumes.
•	Smart kitchen and other smart products. Revenues from smart kitchen and other smart products increased by<br>13.6% to RMB434.7 million (US$61.4 million) from RMB382.5 million for the first quarter of 2019. The growth was primarily driven by the continued successful rollout of certain new products, in particular the Xiaomi-branded sweeper robots,<br>which offset the broader industry-wide impacts of COVID-19.
---	---

Consumable product s. Revenues from consumable products increased by 35.0% to RMB65.0 million (US$9.2 million) from RMB48.1 million for the first quarter of 2019, primarily due to increased demand for the Company’s water purifier filter products.

Value-added businesses. Revenues from value-added businesses increased by 25.6% to RMB157.8 million (US$22.3 million) from RMB125.6 million for the first quarter of 2019, primarily due to new product introductions, together with increased demand for the Company’s small appliances.

Total operating expenses decreased by 12.4% to RMB134.2 million (US$19.0 million) from RMB153.1 million for the first quarter of 2019, primarily due to stringent expense control measures implemented during the quarter to offset the adverse industry-wide impacts of COVID-19, while continuing to invest in research and development.

Research and development expenses increased by 62.0% to RMB59.3 million (US$8.4 million) from RMB36.6 million for the first quarter of 2019, primarily due to increases in employee-related expenses, expenses associated with new product development and expenses related to the application of patents.

Selling and marketing expenses decreased by 35.1% to RMB65.5 million (US$9.2 million) from RMB100.9 million for the first quarter of 2019, primarily due to a decrease in logistics expenses as well as stringent expense control measures in relation to marketing and promotional activities and other selling and marketing related expenses, implemented during the quarter to offset the adverse industry-wide impacts of COVID-19.

General and administrative expenses decreased by 39.5% to RMB9.5 million (US$1.3 million), compared to RMB15.6 million for the first quarter of 2019, primarily due to the Company’s stringent expense control measures implemented during the quarter to offset the adverse industry-wide impacts of COVID-19.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company, non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ordinary shares and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS, which are non-GAAP financial measures, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Non-GAAP operating income is income from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net income is net income excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company is net income attributable to the Company excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders is net income attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses. The non-GAAP adjustments do not have any tax impact as share-based compensation expenses are non-deductible for income tax purpose.

The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, which are non-cash charges, and these measures provide useful information about the Company’s operating results, enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternative to income from operations, net income, or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Non-GAAP financial measures presented here 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. We encourage investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Exchange Rate

The Company’s business is primarily conducted in China and the significant majority of revenues generated are denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”). This announcement contains currency conversions of RMB amounts into U.S. dollars (“US$”) solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise noted, all translations from RMB to US$ are made at a rate of RMB7.0808 to US$1.00, the effective noon buying rate for March 31, 2020 as set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into US$ at that rate on for March 31, 2020, or at any other rate.
