YunjiAnnounces First Quarter 2024 Unaudited Financial Results
Hangzhou, CHINA, June 11, 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 first quarter ended March 31, 2024^1^.
FirstQuarter 2024 Highlights
| ● | Total revenues in the first quarter of 2024 were RMB127.9 million (US$17.7 million), compared with RMB178.7 million in the same period<br> of 2023. 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 March 31, 2024 was 74.4%. |
Mr. Shanglue Xiao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yunji, said, “Last month, we celebrated Yunji’s ninth anniversary, marking this milestone with the unveiling of new initiatives and fresh visions. We are dedicated to working closely with our employees and service managers to further cultivate and grow our business in the beauty and healthcare sectors.”
“During the quarter, we maintained a stable gross margin. We will continue to refine our operations while efficiently managing our assets,” said Mr. Yeqing Cui, Senior Financial Director of Yunji.
FirstQuarter 2024 Unaudited Financial Results
Totalrevenues were RMB127.9 million (US$17.7 million), compared with RMB178.7 million in the same period of 2023. 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 RMB102.0 million (US$14.1 million), compared with RMB143.0 million in the same period of 2023. |
|---|---|
| ● | Revenues<br> from the marketplace business were RMB24.1 million (US$3.3 million), compared with RMB32.9 million in the same period of 2023. |
| ● | Other<br> revenues were RMB1.8 million (US$0.3 million), compared with RMB2.8 million in the same period of 2023. |
Totalcost of revenues decreased by 30.7% to RMB64.7 million (US$9.0 million), or 50.6% of total revenues, from RMB93.5 million, or 52.3% of total revenues, in the same period of 2023. The decrease was mainly attributable to the change in merchandise sales, for which revenues are recognized on a gross basis. Total cost of revenues was mainly comprised of the costs related to the sales of merchandise in the first quarter of 2024.
Totaloperating expenses decreased by 11.0% to RMB75.9 million (US$10.5 million) from RMB85.3 million in the same period of 2023.
| ● | Fulfillment expenses decreased by 19.2% to RMB21.9 million (US$3.0 million), or 17.1% of total revenues, from RMB27.1 million, or 15.2% of<br> total revenues, in the same period of 2023. The decrease was mainly due to (i) reduced warehousing and logistics expenses due to<br> lower merchandise sales, and (ii) reduced personnel costs as a result of staffing structure refinements. |
|---|---|
| ● | Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 12.8% to RMB25.8 million (US$3.6 million), or 20.2% of total revenues, from RMB29.6 million,<br> or 16.6% of total revenues, in the same period of 2023. The decrease was mainly due to the reduction in member management fees, partially<br> offset by an increase in business promotion expenses. |
| ● | Technology and content expenses decreased by 0.2% to RMB13.3 million (US$1.8 million), or 10.4% of total revenues, from RMB13.4 million,<br> or 7.5% of total revenues, in the same period of 2023. |
| ● | General and administrative expenses decreased by 2.0% to RMB14.9 million (US$2.1 million), or 11.6% of total revenues, from RMB15.2 million,<br> or 8.5% of total revenues, in the same period of 2023. The decrease was mainly due to the reduction in personnel costs as a result<br> of staffing structure refinements, partially offset by an increase in the allowance for credit losses. |
Lossfrom operations was RMB9.3 million (US$1.3 million), compared with income from operations of RMB1.0 million in the same period of 2023.
Financialincome, net was RMB14.7 million (US$2.0 million), compared with financial loss, net of RMB22.2 million in the same period of 2023, mainly due to an increase in the fair value changes of equity securities investments.
Netincome was RMB3.9 million (US$0.5 million), compared with net loss of RMB22.9 million in the same period of 2023.
Adjustednet income (non-GAAP)^3^ was RMB3.0 million (US$0.4 million), compared with adjusted net loss (non-GAAP) of RMB27.2 million in the same period of 2023.
Basicand diluted net income per share attributable to ordinary shareholders were both nil, compared with basic and diluted net loss per share of RMB0.01 in the same period of 2023.
Acquisitionof Land Use Right
In June 2024, the Company won the bid for a parcel of land located in Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou, China, covering approximately 10 thousand square meters (the “Hangzhou Land Parcel”) and entered into an agreement with the local government to acquire the land use right of the Hangzhou Land Parcel for an aggregate consideration of approximately RMB171.5 million. The Company intends to construct a new office building on the Hangzhou Land Parcel to use it as its new headquarters and also lease offices to external parties. The total amount for the land acquisition and office building construction is expected to be approximately RMB600.0 million. The Company intends to fund the land acquisition and building construction through cash on hand and bank financing.
Useof 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.

| 5. | As<br> of March 31, 2024, the decrease in incentive payables was mainly due to derecognition of long-aged payables to inactive members. |
| 6. | As<br> of March 31, 2024, the Group, as one of the five co-defendants, was involved in an on-going legal proceeding that arose in the ordinary<br> 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 March 31, 2024. |
