WiMi Hologram Cloud Develops A Digital Content Compression and Processing System for Web 3.0

BEIJING, Feb. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WIMI) (“WiMi” or the “Company”), a leading global Hologram Augmented Reality (“AR”) Technology provider, today announced that it has been continuously optimizing its digital content compression technology. It has launched a digital content compression processing system to accommodate Web 3.0’s high bit-rate transmission requirements.

Compression is the reduction of the amount of data needed to represent digital content. WiMi’s digital content compression and processing system mainly deal with four kinds of redundancy: coding redundancy, spatial redundancy, temporal redundancy, and redundancy of irrelevant information.

The redundancy of digital content data is mainly manifested as coding redundancy caused by the word code in the digital content being more prominent than the optimal coding to form entropy; spatial redundancy caused by the correlation between adjacent pixels in the digital content; temporal redundancy caused by the correlation between different frames in the digital content sequence; and spectral redundancy caused by the correlation between different color or spectrum bands. Due to the sheer volume of digital content data, which is very difficult to store, transmit, and process, the application of WiMi’s system is essential for the more efficient, intelligent, and realistic environment required by Web 3.0.

Coding redundancy exists when the word code used is larger than the optimal code or relatively larger than the minimum length. This is where the concept of entropy comes into play, which has a more specific definition derived from a different discipline, entropy, in digital content processing. WiMi, therefore, optimizes codes intelligently by comparing them with particular algorithms and sorting out the disorganized codes to reduce the codes’ total entropy and redundancy.

Spatial redundancy is caused when addressing correlations between, for example, neighboring pixels in digital content. Spatial redundancy is a frequent type of data and is the most significant type presented in digital content images. There is often a spatial correlation between the colors of sampled points on the surface of the same scene, with adjacent points often taking on similar or identical values. Different data can have roughly the same histogram and entropy and approximately the same compression ratio. The pixels of any one image can reasonably be predicted from their neighboring pixel values, and these correlations are the potential basis for inter-pixel redundancy. To reduce inter-pixel redundancy, two-dimensional arrays of pixels can be transformed into a more efficient format. This type of transformation, known as mapping, takes the original digital content image data, transforms it into a dataset for reconstruction, and then merges it. The system will automatically identify and integrate to significantly reduce the amount of data in the digital content due to spatial redundancy and remove the excess data footprint.

Temporal redundancy, in close analogy to spatial redundancy, arises because of the inter-pixel correlation of adjacent frames in digital content data. The system can insert successive frames of digital content into a matrix of frame structures, linking each frame along a four-dimensional array. The first two dimensions are the number of rows and columns dimensions, the third dimension is the monochrome image, and the fourth is the number of frames in the image sequence. Of course, temporal redundancy refers not only to the image data of digital content but also to data such as speech data, control data, and operational and informational data, all of which can be compiled using the same theoretical basis for integration.

Unlike coding and spatial redundancy, Irrelevant information is a way of processing digital content data using biases or insensitivity in human vision or perception. For example, the human eye is insensitive to high-frequency information in color, so irreversible quantitative compression can be performed.

WiMi’s digital content compression processing system is based on the basic principles of a lossless compression framework. The size of the digital content data is actually information plus data redundancy. When the fundamental problem of data redundancy and data results is optimized, the performance of transmission speed can be significantly improved. WiMi is also continuously optimizing its holographic digital content compression and processing system and has previously introduced a parallel compression scheme with multi-tasking packages to considerably reduce the processing time and improve its performance. WiMi will continue to improve the system’s intelligent processing capabilities and project management performance to provide better services to customers in the Web 3.0 era.

Fiscal Year 2022 Financial Results of BaiJiaYun Limited

Revenues

Total revenues were $68.6 million in FY 2022, representing an increase of 65.5% from $41.4 million in FY2021, primarily due to acquisition of new customers and expansion of solutions and services offerings.

BaiJiaYun Limited breaks down its total revenues into three main categories: 

  • SaaS/PaaS solutions 
  • Cloud-related services
  • AI solution services

The increase in total revenues was due to 1) a 46.8% increase in the revenues from SaaS/PaaS solutions to $31.3 million in FY 2022 from $21.3 million in FY 2021 due to an increased number of customers and new vertical markets, 2) a surge in customized platform development services from nil in FY 2021 to $10.3 million in FY 2022, and 3) a 43.7% increase in the revenues from AI solution services to $25.1 million in FY 2022 from $17.5 million in FY 2021 resulting from increasing customer demand to integrate AI-enabled devices and applications with real-time communications solutions.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues was $50.2 million in FY 2022, a significant increase compared to $22.9 million recorded in FY 2021, primarily due to a significant increase in AI solutions cost and software development and customization costs associated with the growth of private cloud-related services and AI solution services, along with the increase in SMS cost. 

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit remained stable at $18.5 million and $18.4 million in FY 2021 and FY 2022, respectively. Gross profit margin decreased from 44.7% in FY 2021 to 26.9% in FY 2022, primarily due to 1) the introduction of customized platform development services, which had a relatively lower profit margin, 2) the decrease in gross profit margin of AI solution services from 29.5% in FY 2021 to 23.9% in FY 2022 as hardware products were purchased and integrated into AI and system solutions projects, and 3) an increase in the percentage of revenues contributed by SMS solutions, which has a relatively low gross profit margin.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased significantly to $35.2 million in FY 2022 from $16.1 million in FY 2021. 

  • Selling and marketing (S&M) expenses were $7.4 million in FY 2022, representing an increase of 12.8% from $6.5 million in FY 2021. S&M expenses included $1.0 million of share-based compensation expenses in FY 2022 to incentivize its sales and marketing personnel as compared to nil in FY 2021. General staff compensation for sales and marketing personnel increased from $3.8 million in FY 2021 to $4.5 million in FY 2022 as a result of the expansion of its sale team to accommodate business growth. As a percentage of total revenues, the sales and marketing expenses decreased from 15.8% in FY 2021 to 10.8% in FY 2022.
  • General and administrative (G&A) increased significantly to $14.8 million in FY 2022 from $3.7 million in FY 2021. G&A expenses included $2.0 million of share-based compensation expenses to our management and employees in recognition of their continued services as compared to nil in the prior fiscal year. BaiJiaYun Limited recorded bad debt expenses of $7.8 million in FY 2022 versus $0.6 million in FY 2021. The bad debt expenses were a result of increasing accounts receivables due to the negative impacts from China’s restrictive zero-Covid policy in 2022 and entry into market segments where customers often face payment delays. BaiJiaYun Limited remains optimistic that most of these receivables will eventually be collected as business practices normalize now that COVID restrictions are being lifted in China.
  • Research and development (R&D) expenses increased significantly to $13.0 million in FY 2022 from $5.8 million in FY 2021. R&D expenses included $6.3 million of share-based compensation expenses to motivate its R&D personnel as compared to nil in FY 2021. BaiJiaYun Limited expects that share-based compensation expenses will move to a moderate level in the future following the completion of the going-public transaction.

Operating Income/(Loss)

Operating loss was $16.8 million in FY 2022 as compared to operating income of $2.4 million in FY 2021. The operating margin decreased from 5.8% in FY 2021 to (24.5%) in FY 2022, reflecting the decrease in gross margin, and increases in share-based compensation expenses and bad debt expenses.

Income Tax Benefits/(Expenses)

Income tax benefits were $1.6 million in FY 2022 as compared to income tax expenses of $0.3 million in FY 2021.

Net Income/(Loss)

Net loss was $12.6 million in FY 2022 as compared to net income of $3.6 million in FY 2021.

Non-GAAP net loss was $1.7 million in FY 2022 compared to non-GAAP net income of $3.7 million in FY 2021.

Basic and diluted loss per share was $0.38 in FY 2022, compared to $0.04 in FY 2021.

Financial Outlook for the Fiscal Year 2023 of BaiJiaYun Limited 

Based on currently available information, BaiJiaYun Limited expects total revenues for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023 to be between $90 million and $103 million, and expects to return to profitability under non-GAAP measures with non-GAAP net income of between $5 and $7 million. This outlook reflects the current and preliminary views of BaiJiaYun Limited on the market and operational conditions, and is subject to various changes and uncertainties, including but not limited to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures of BaiJiaYun Limited

BaiJiaYun Limited has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), including non-GAAP net income/(loss) and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. BaiJiaYun Limited uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. BaiJiaYun Limited believes that such non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of BaiJiaYun Limited prepared in accordance with GAAP.
