First Half 2022 Financial Results

GMV was RMB3,299.8 million (US$492.6 million) for the first six months of 2022, a decrease of 34.4% from RMB5,027.8 million for the same period in 2021.

Total number of orders was 880.3 thousand for the first six months of 2022, a decrease of 38.9% from 1,440.1 thousand for the same period in 2021.

Total revenues for the first six months of 2022 were RMB1,164.3 million (US$173.8 million), compared with RMB1,525.6 million for the same period in 2021. This decrease was primarily attributable to a slowdown in demand of discretionary spending and delayed logistics services worldwide due to the lingering impact of global COVID-19 pandemic.

Cost of revenues increased by 41.9% to RMB1,735.9 million (US$259.2 million) for the first six months of 2022 from RMB1,223.1 million for the same period in 2021, primarily due to the increase of inventory write-downs.

Fulfillment expenses for the first six months of 2022 decreased by 69.9% to RMB25.1 million (US$3.7 million) from RMB83.2 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to (i) the decrease of delivery expenses, (ii) the decrease in staff compensation and benefits expenses, as well as (iii) the decrease in third-party payment platform charges.

Marketing expenses for the first six months of 2022 decreased by 66.9% to RMB39.1 million (US$5.8 million) from RMB118.0 million for the same period in 2021.

Technology and content development expenses for the first six months of 2022 decreased by 49.9% to RMB27.3 million (US$4.1 million) from RMB54.5 million for the same period in 2021, primarily due to the decrease in staff compensation and benefits expenses for our technology and content development personnel and outsourced staff.

General and administrative expenses for the first six months of 2022 increased by 81.7% to RMB100.2 million (US$15.0 million) from RMB55.1 million for the same period in 2021.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements which are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we also use non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of Secoo Holding Limited, and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per share and ADS as additional non-GAAP financial measures. We present these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance. We define non-GAAP income from operations as income from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses. We define non-GAAP net income as net income excluding share-based compensation expenses. We define non-GAAP net income per share as non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of Secoo Holding Limited dividing by weighted average number of basic and diluted share outstanding, including the dilutive effect of share-based awards as determined under the treasury stock method. We define non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS as non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per share divided by two as two ADSs represent one ordinary share. We also believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our consolidated results of operations in the same manner as our management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of our peer companies.

The use of non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations. These non-GAAP measures exclude certain items that have been and will continue to be incurred in the future and are not reflected in the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered a substitute for or superior to U.S. GAAP results. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures utilized by other companies since such other companies may not calculate such measures in the same manner as Secoo does.

Reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is set forth at the end of this release.
