YunjiAnnounces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2023 Unaudited Financial Results


Hangzhou, CHINA, March 21, 2024 — Yunji Inc. (“Yunji” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: YJ), a leading membership-based social e-commerce platform, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2023^1^.

FourthQuarter 2023 Highlights


Total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2023 were RMB149.1 million (US$21.0 million), compared with RMB288.7 million in the same period<br> of 2022. The change was primarily due to soft consumer confidence and the Company’s continued strategy to refine its product<br> selection across all categories and optimize its selection of suppliers and merchants, which had a near-term impact on sales.
Repeat purchase rate^2^ in the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 was 75.4%.

Mr. Shanglue Xiao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yunji, said, “Throughout 2023, we proactively explored and engaged in various trials and innovations to navigate the dynamic market landscape. We have successfully developed a number of new products that will be gradually launched in 2024, as we to strive to better serve consumer needs.”

“We will continue to prioritize the efficient use of our working capital and judiciously optimize asset allocation to enhance support for our operations.” said Mr. Yeqing Cui, Senior Financial Director of Yunji.

FourthQuarter 2023 Unaudited Financial Results


Totalrevenues were RMB149.1 million (US$21.0 million), compared with RMB288.7 million in the same period of 2022. This change was primarily due to soft consumer confidence and the Company’s continued strategy to refine its product selection across all categories and optimize its selection of suppliers and merchants, which had a near-term impact on sales.

Revenues<br> from sales of merchandise were RMB112.3 million (US$15.8 million), compared with RMB241.3 million in the same period of 2022.
Revenues<br> from the marketplace business were RMB34.3 million (US$4.8 million), compared with RMB42.9 million in the same period of 2022.
Other<br> revenues were RMB2.5million (US$0.4 million), compared with RMB4.5 million in the same period of 2022.

Totalcost of revenues decreased by 53.3% to RMB79.6 million (US$11.2 million), or 53.4% of total revenues, from RMB170.6 million, or 59.1% of total revenues, in the same period of 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to the change in merchandise sales, for which revenues and cost of revenues are recognized on a gross basis. Total cost of revenues, which primarily comprises the costs related to the sales of merchandise, decreased accordingly in the fourth quarter of 2023.


Totaloperating expenses decreased by 28.1% to RMB109.8 million (US$15.5 million) from RMB152.7 million in the same period of 2022.

Fulfillment expenses decreased by 21.9% to RMB24.8 million (US$3.5 million), or 16.7% of total revenues, from RMB31.8 million, or 11.0% of<br> total revenues, in the same period of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to (i) reduced warehousing and logistics expenses due<br> to lower merchandise sales, (ii) reduced personnel costs as a result of staffing structure refinements, and (iii) decreased service<br> fees charged by third-party payment settlement platforms.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 51.7% to RMB28.5 million (US$4.0 million), or 19.1% of total revenues, from RMB59.0 million,<br> or 20.4% of total revenues, in the same period of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to (i) a decrease in member management fees,<br> and (ii) reduced business promotion expenses.
Technology and content expenses decreased by 29.2% to RMB12.0 million (US$1.7 million), or 8.1% of total revenues, from RMB17.0 million,<br> or 5.9% of total revenues, in the same period of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to (i) the reduction in personnel costs as<br> a result of staffing structure refinements, and (ii) reduced server costs.
General and administrative expenses decreased by 1.0% to RMB44.5 million (US$6.3 million), or 29.8% of total revenues, from RMB44.9 million,<br> or 15.6% of total revenues, in the same period of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction in personnel costs as a result<br> of staffing structure refinements and share-based compensation expenses, partially offset by an increase in the allowance for credit<br> losses.

Lossfrom operations was RMB39.5 million (US$5.6 million), compared with RMB33.1 million in the same period of 2022.

Financialloss, net was RMB23.4 million (US$3.3 million), compared with financial income, net of RMB8.4 million in the same period of 2022, primarily due to a decrease in the fair value changes of equity securities investments.

Useof Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses adjusted net 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 loss as net loss excluding share-based compensation.

The Company presents adjusted net loss because it is used by management to evaluate operating performance and formulate business plans. Adjusted net 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 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 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.

1. This<br> announcement contains translations of certain Renminbi (RMB) amounts into U.S. dollars (US$) at a specified rate solely for the convenience<br> of the reader. Unless otherwise noted, the translation of RMB into US$ has been made at RMB7.0999 to US$1.00, the exchange rate in<br> effect as of December 29, 2023 as set forth in the H.10 statistical release of The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
2. “Repeat<br> purchase rate” in a given period is calculated as the number of transacting members who purchased not less than twice divided<br> by the total number of transacting members during such period. “Transacting member” in a given period refers to a member<br> who successfully promotes Yunji’s products to generate at least one order or places at least one order on Yunji’s platform,<br> regardless of whether any product in such order is ultimately sold or delivered or whether any product in such order is returned.<br> “Repeat purchase rate” only considers orders placed through the Company’s app. Repeat purchases made through the<br> Company’s mini-programs are excluded from the calculation.
3. Adjusted<br> net loss is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as net loss excluding share-based compensation expense. See “Reconciliation<br> of Non-GAAP Measures to the Most Directly Comparable Financial Measures” set forth at the end of this press release.
4. As<br> of December 31, 2023, Short-term loan receivables of amount RMB80,897 were included in the prepaid expenses and other current assets<br> balance, which represent the principal and interest to be collected on loans provided by the Group to third-party companies.
5. As<br> of December 31, 2023, the decrease in incentive payables was primarily due to derecognition of long-aged payables to inactive members.
6. As<br> of December 31, 2023, the Group, as one of the five co-defendants, was involved in an on-going legal proceeding that arose in the<br> ordinary course of business (the “Case”). The plaintiff sought monetary damages jointly and severally from all co-defendants.<br> As of the date of this earnings release, the Case is still under the appeal trial process and subject to final judgment by the Guangzhou<br> Intermediate People’s Court, and the amount involved is approximately RMB23.1 million. Based on the currently available information,<br> management believes that the claims by the plaintiff have no merit and the Group has valid defence and will defend vigorously in<br> the Case. Accordingly, the Group has not made accrual for the Case as of December 31, 2023.
