Senmiao Technology Reports Fiscal 2021 Second Quarter Financial Results

CHENGDU, China, Nov. 20, 2020 — Senmiao Technology Limited ("Senmiao") (Nasdaq: AIHS), a provider of automobile transaction and related services targeting the online ride-hailing industry in China as well as its own online ride-hailing platform, today announced financial results for the fiscal 2021 second quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Xi Wen, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Senmiao, "We were pleased that the proactive measures taken by our team in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic began to gain traction as we progressed through the third quarter. While the negative year-over-year impact on our operations is apparent, we saw considerable improvement in demand for our services during the second quarter and into the current fiscal third quarter. We transitioned many of the vehicles tendered to us by ride-hailing drivers who exited the business in the first quarter into rental vehicles during the past few months, which became a source of revenue as sales options diminished in the first half of the year.  We are now starting to see the market recover, and believe we can offer excellent optionality to drivers through sales, leasing, and rental selections."

Mr. Wen continued, "Our goal has been to become a total solution provider for ride-sharing drivers, beginning in our two core markets, Chengdu and Changsha. In recent weeks, we have strengthened this value proposition through cooperation with BYD to offer electric vehicles with financing and leasing options to drivers in our core markets; and a collaboration with Luxingtong for the provision of a wide array of telematics and safety solutions for our drivers. In addition, we recently launched our own ride-hailing platform in Chengdu and have seen the number of riders utilizing the service accelerating daily as we build greater brand recognition."

Mr. Wen concluded, "The impact of COVID-19 on our business model was stark and rapid. We were forced into situations where we needed to ensure the strength of our balance sheet and be adaptable to a new and changing paradigm in the Chinese ride-sharing market. While undertaking these changes was difficult in the short-term, we are now starting to see the benefits of the hard decisions we made. Our focus in the near term will be to improve our online ride-hailing platform with further enhancements for both drivers and riders, while seeking partnerships that can strengthen our value proposition for new drivers. Ultimately, we believe that our efforts will continue to position Senmiao well in Chengdu and Changsha, and position us for potential growth in new markets next year."

Revenues

Total revenues were $1,390,396 for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, compared to $5,885,287 in the same period last year and $1,146,916 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The decline from the prior year was largely due to the impact of COVID-19 which resulted in a significant decrease in the number of facilitated new automobile purchases and a significant number of ride-hailing drivers exiting the ride-hailing business and tendering their vehicles to Senmiao for sublease and sale.

As the ride-hailing markets in Chengdu and Changsha gradually recovered from the impact of COVID-19 beginning in April 2020, Senmiao also experienced a decrease in the number of automobiles tendered to it by the ride-hailing drivers exiting the business during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 as compared with prior quarters.

Senmiao also reported an increase in the monthly installments collected from automobile sale and leasing customers in the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2020. Earlier in 2020, a higher number of ride-hailing drivers delayed their monthly installment payments as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Company has seen a gradual improvement in collections throughout the year.

Senmiao strategically shifted its business focus to include automobile rental options for ride-hailing drivers as a measure of creating additional revenue. The automobile rental business generated an income of $787,955 for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

As a result of the gradual recovery of the ride-hailing industry, coupled with Senmiao’s recent partnerships and proactive measures to address the changing market conditions, Senmiao expects revenue to increase in the third and fourth quarters of its fiscal year 2021.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues were $994,515 for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, as compared with $4,709,184 during the same period last year. The decline was primarily due to the decrease in the number of automobiles sold.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was $395,881, or approximately 28.5% gross margin, for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, compared to $1,176,103, or approximately 20.0% gross margin, in the prior year period. 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,749,209 for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 as compared with $1,137,801 during the same period last year. The increase mainly consists of an increase of $560,274 in amortization of automobiles which were tendered to Senmiao but have not been sub-leased or sold, an increase of $336,158 in salary and employee benefits as Senmiao’s employees increased from 158 to 203, an increase of $599,170 in professional service fees such as financial, legal and market consulting, and an increase of $115,806 in advertising and promotion,  rental and other office expenses.

Net Loss

Net loss from Senmiao’s continuing operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 was $2,607,165, compared to net income of $1,862,365 for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, , which mainly resulted from the decrease in revenue, decrease in gross profit and increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as stated in prior section as well as gain in the change of the fair values of derivative liabilities recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Loss per Share

Loss per share for continuing operations was $0.06 based on a weighted average number of basic and diluted common stock of 37,802,840, as compared to earnings per share of $0.06 based on a weighted average number of basic and diluted common stock of 28,237,430.

Financial Position

As of September 30, 2020, Senmiao had cash and cash equivalents of $4,394,019 as compared with $833,888 as of March 31, 2020 for its continuing operations. Total stockholders’ equity was $2,782,424 as of September 30, 2020, compared to $1,472,357 as of March 31, 2020.

Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 outbreak continued to materially adversely affect Senmiao’s business operations, financial condition and operating results in the quarter ended September 30, 2020, including but not limited to, decrease in revenues, slower collection of accounts receivable and additional allowance for doubtful accounts. However, as the ride-hailing markets in Chengdu and Changsha are gradually recovering from the impact of COVID-19, Senmiao expects its business to improve during the remainder of its current fiscal year ending March 31, 2021.

Further information regarding Senmiao’s results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 can be found in Senmiao’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

JINAN, China, Nov. 20, 2020 — Many German companies have expressed confidence in the Chinese market at a conference in east China’s Shandong Province, according to Jinan High-tech Industrial Development Zone Management Committee.

Project Signing Ceremony

"Feel free to try out our application. Chinese and foreign companies can communicate on it and reach agreements online," Sebastian Valcic from Germany who works at the Jinan Innovation Zone, introduced the application designed for the 2020 Sino-German (Europe) SME Cooperation and Communication Conference.

The conference took place on Thursday in Jinan, the provincial capital, with 11 Chinese and foreign cooperation projects signed worth 10.13 billion yuan (1.54 billion U.S. dollars) in investment.

"We have always stayed bullish on China’s development," said An Yu, executive vice president Asia-Pacific of VOSS Automotive, a German company. "Thanks to China’s economic recovery policies, our business in China has grown by 40 percent this year, prompting the Asia-Pacific region revenue to become the fastest-growing revenue segment of our company."

Joachim Denzel, a project consultant with Festo, said that China’s economy keeps growing despite a gloom over other economies worldwide. He expects business in China to outgrow other areas in the world in the future.

According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, since 2012, China has set up nine Sino-German SME cooperation zones, giving strong support to the investment of Germany’s medium- and small-sized companies in China with policies and intellectual property protection.

"Our app is still in the testing stage, but more than 150 foreign companies have already registered, and more than half of them are German companies," said Sebastian Valcic.

Zepp Global Sleep Study Reveals Popularity of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata at Bedtime; Launches Personalized Digital Lullaby Generator

  • Zepp partners with World Sleep Society to understand perceptions around sleep quality in the UK, US, Italy, Spain, Germany and Thailand
  • Some poll respondents believe they are losing up to 4.5 hours of sleep worrying about the pandemic
  • 60% of respondents who have worn wearables to bed said it made them aware of their lack of sleep

SHENZHEN, China, Nov. 20, 2020Zepp, a professional-grade wearable brand empowering the digital management of personal well-being, today released a Global Sleep Study featuring commentary from the World Sleep Society, an international authority in sleep health. In October 2020, Zepp commissioned an independent poll of 12,000 respondents across 6 countries to understand the concerns, perceptions and attitudes around sleep quality in these unprecedented times.

The results show that feelings of sleep deprivation are more prevalent than most believe and that there is a general yearning for more shut-eye time. The day’s worries are deemed to carry on into the night, resulting in less than optimal sleep, and it appears to be a vicious cycle, impacting well-being the next day. With changing lifestyle habits due to the stay-at-home economy brought about by the pandemic, naturally, sleep habits have changed too. Music and meditative habits seem to resonate with respondents of this poll.

Pandemic and Other Anxieties

Thailand was revealed as the nation that was most sleep deprived, with half of respondents (50%) claiming they were definitely sleep deprived, followed by Germany (38%), USA (37.8%), UK (37.4%) Italy (18.5%) and Spain (18.2%). 43% of respondents attributed the problem to work woes, 40% to money worries, and 23% to pandemic-related concerns.

COVID-19 lockdowns were also deemed to have changed people’s sleeping patterns, with more than a third (33.6%) of respondents saying they go to bed later than usual, and 20% saying they find it harder to sleep. Respondents believe they are losing an average of 2.7 hours of sleep per night due to pandemic-induced worries, with respondents in Thailand clocking the highest average loss of 4.5 hours per night.

Almost half of respondents in the US (46%) and Spain (47%) feel that they live in a sleep-deprived nation due to technology and social media. Thailand respondents (52%) believe it results from having too much to think about and Italians agree (48%). Respondents in Germany (46%) think it is because they work too hard and are burnt out and those in the UK (46%) say it is because the world is a worrying place right now.

Coping in a Post-Pandemic World

People are also actively taking measures to help themselves sleep better in this time. Top measures include listening to relaxing music, avoiding caffeine in the evening, reading before bed and meditation. 60% of respondents who have worn wearables to bed say it makes them aware of their lack of sleep. Data from wearables are believed to have helped respondents work out the exact number of hours of sleep they have, and improve their sleeping patterns.

"By tracking sleep, you will have a better understanding of if you are achieving the three components of healthy sleep—duration, or the length of sleep, continuity, meaning sleeping without fragmentation, and depth, which is sleep deep enough to be restorative," said Dr. Lourdes DelRosso, Co-chair of World Sleep Day, World Sleep Society.

Music as a Bedside Aid

89% of respondents agreed that listening to calming music can help with sleep. Poll results show Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata was the most popular track for all nations to listen to at bedtime, with the exception of Italy, with respondents favoring Chopin’s Nocturne No.2. Respondents in Germany and Thailand said their favorite music genre to listen to was pop, whereas respondents in the US, UK, Spain and Italy said it was classical music.

Personalized Lullabies for an Enhanced Night’s Rest

Recognizing music’s role in helping people fall asleep, Zepp has worked with Swedish creative masterminds to launch a digital Lullaby Generator.

The free-to-use Lullaby Generator will help users create tailor-made music based on their very own sleep patterns for an enhanced night’s rest. Existing Zepp users can login to share their sleep metrics and automatically produce a unique and personalized lullaby. Non-Zepp users can also participate by answering a series of questions about their sleep habits.

As a champion for personal wellbeing, products and programs from Zepp are aimed at helping consumers track their sleep as they embark on their journey towards healthier sleep.

To generate your personalized lullaby, visit https://zepplullaby.com/.

In August, Zepp launched a stylish line-up of wearables designed with wellness in mind. The all-new Zepp E series leverages the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and cutting-edge technology to convert vital health statistics into actionable insights that help users effectively monitor their physical and mental wellbeing.

[1] To monitor your REM cycle, the sleep assistant mode, and heart rate tracking must be enabled. The rapid eye movement phase is the sleep phase related to dreams in the sleep cycle.

[2] The rapid eye movement period, also known as REM, is the basis for the normal biological rhythm and life-sustaining of mammals. It accounts for about 20%-25% of the entire night’s sleep cycle. It is characterized by rapid eye movement, low-amplitude mixed-frequency EEG activity, and muscle tension relaxation. To monitor your REM cycle, the sleep assistant mode and heart rate tracking must be enabled. Sleep monitoring: can record evening sleep and naps. When it detects that the wearer is asleep between midnight and 6AM, the sleep time between 6PM of the previous day and 11AM can be recorded as night sleep time; sleep between 11AM and 6PM lasting more than 20 minutes is recorded as a nap. Sleep lasting less than 20 minutes is not recorded. Less than 20-minute naps during the day will not be recorded.

[3] The HUNT Fitness Study indicates that people who maintain a PAI™ score of 100 or higher show lower risk of hypertension, heart disease, and type-2 diabetes. HUNT Fitness Study: This study was conducted by Professor Ulrik Wisloff of the Faculty of Medicine, Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
