Senmiao Technology Reports Fiscal 2023 Year-end Financial Results
CHENGDU, China, July 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Senmiao Technology Limited ("Senmiao") (Nasdaq: AIHS), a financing and servicing company focused on the online ride-hailing industry in China, as well as an operator of its own online ride-hailing platform, today announced financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.
Fiscal 2023 Year-end Financial and Operating Highlights
- Total revenues of $8.1 million from continuing operations, an increase of 64.5% from $4.9 million in the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of increased operating lease revenues from automobile rentals and increased revenues from online ride-hailing platform services.
- From October 23, 2020, the date Senmiao launched its online ride-hailing platform, to March 31, 2023, approximately 29.6 million rides were completed (including orders completed on the platform operated by Senmiao and orders completed on partner platforms, such as Xiehua and Anma) with fares paid by riders totaling $95.6 million. As of July 12, 2023, Senmiao operated in 26 cities in China, including Chengdu, Changsha and Guangzhou.
- Net loss from continuing operations improved to $3.8 million, compared to net loss of $5.6 million in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to the Company's cost-cutting initiatives that directly resulted in significantly lower selling, general and administrative expenses.
Management Commentary
Xi Wen, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Senmiao, stated, "We were pleased with our financial performance in fiscal 2023, reporting a 64.5% increase in total revenues to $8.1 million and gross profit of $1.5 million, compared to a gross loss of $2.1 million in the prior fiscal year. As a result of our top line growth and effective cost-cutting initiatives, we narrowed bottom-line losses by 32.4% from fiscal 2022, enabling us to achieve positive cash flow from operating activities. Our strong top-line results were driven by operating lease revenues from automobile rentals more than doubling year over year and revenues from online ride-hailing platform services growing 39.2%. We have been focusing on growing these two businesses in recent years and are confident that we will continue to see positive momentum as China has moved away from its zero-COVID policy in a post-pandemic environment. Since the launch of our online ride-hailing business in October 2020, we have helped facilitate over 31.1 million rides in 26 cities as of May 2023. We expect to continue expanding our business partnerships as we look to enter potential new markets, exploring opportunities for new partner models and strengthening our presence in our strongest markets of Chengdu, Changsha and Guangzhou."
Financial Review
Revenues
Total revenues were $8.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2023, an increase of 64.5% from $4.9 million in the prior fiscal year. The increase was mainly due to a $1.7 million increase in operating lease revenues from automobile rentals and a $1.0 million increase in revenue contributions from online ride-hailing platform services.
During the year ended March 31, 2023, the automobile rental business generated operating lease revenues of $3.5 million, an increase of 100.5% from $1.7 million in the prior fiscal year, due to a significant increase in the number of automobiles leased. The online ride-hailing platform services business generated revenues of $3.7 million, an increase of 39.2% from $2.7 million in the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to the significantly lower amount of incentives the Company paid to ride-hailing drivers who completed rides and earned income through its platform in the year ended March 31, 2023.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues decreased to $6.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2023, compared to $7.0 million in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to a decrease in direct expense and technical service fees for the online ride-hailing platform services business as a result of a decrease in the number of completed orders, partially offset by the increase in costs of automobiles under operating leases as a result of business expansion.
Gross Profit
Gross profit was $1.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2023, compared to gross loss of $2.1 million in the prior fiscal year. The change of $3.6 million was mainly due to the increase in profit in our online ride-hailing platform services and operating lease, partially offset by the gross loss of approximately $0.1 million from sales of automobiles.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 32.0% to $6.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2023, from $9.0 million in the prior fiscal year. The decrease was mainly attributable to the Company's implementation of initiatives to streamline expenses during the period, which resulted in a $0.9 million decrease in financial, legal and marketing consulting fees, a $0.7 million decrease in salary and employee benefit expenses, a $0.8 million decrease in advertising and promotion expenses for online ride-hailing platform services, and other expense reductions.
Net Loss from Continuing Operations
As a result of the foregoing, net loss from Senmiao's continuing operations for the year ended March 31, 2023, improved to $3.8 million, compared to net loss of $5.6 million in the prior fiscal year.
Loss per Share
Loss per diluted share for continuing operations for the year ended March 31, 2023, was approximately $0.43 based on a weighted average number of basic and diluted common stock of 7.2 million, compared to loss per diluted share of approximately $1.66 based on a weighted average number of basic and diluted common stock of 5.7 million in the prior fiscal year.
Financial Position
As of March 31, 2023, Senmiao had cash and cash equivalents of $1.6 million, compared to $1.2 million as of March 31, 2022. Total stockholders' equity was $4.4 million as of March 31, 2023, compared to $8.1 million as of March 31, 2022.
Additional information regarding Senmiao's results of operations for this annual period can be found in Senmiao's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on the date of this earnings release.
