Jianpu Technology Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter 2023 Unaudited Financial Results

Beijing, March 13, 2024 -- Jianpu Technology Inc. ("Jianpu," or the "Company") (OTC: AIJTY), a leading independent open platform for the discovery and recommendation of financial products in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Fourth Quarter 2023 Operational and Financial Highlights:

Revenues from recommendation services for the fourth quarter of 2023 increased by 3.9% to RMB178.0 million (US$25.1 million) from RMB171.3 million in the same period of 2022. Revenues from recommendation services for loans increased by 51.7% to RMB95.4 million (US$13.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2023 from RMB62.9 million in the same period of 2022, primarily due to the increase in the number of loan applications and the increase in average fee per loan application. Revenues from recommendation services for credit cards decreased by 23.7% to RMB82.7 million (US$11.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2023 from RMB108.4 million in the same period of 2022, primarily due to the decrease in the credit card volume.

Revenues from big data and system-based risk management services decreased by 42.9% to RMB16.5 million (US$2.3 million) in the fourth quarter of 2023 from RMB28.9 million in the same period of 2022, primarily due to the deconsolidation of Newsky Wisdom Treasure (Beijing) Co., Ltd ("Newsky Wisdom") in the second quarter of 2023. The decline was also caused by a gradual shift of our business model of data-based risk management services towards cooperation with licensed credit reporting agencies.

Revenues from marketing and other services¹ decreased by 7.5% to RMB44.4 million (US$6.2 million) in the fourth quarter of 2023 from RMB48.0 million in the same period of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease of the Company's insurance brokerage services, partially offset by the growth of other new business initiatives.

Loss from operations was RMB9.6 million (US$1.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with RMB29.6 million in the same period of 2022. Operating loss margin was 4.0% in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with 11.9% in the same period of 2022. The improvement of loss from operations was mainly attributable to the decrease in costs and expenses resulting from efficiency improvement and cost optimization.

·	Net income was RMB1.1 million (US$0.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with net loss of RMB20.2 million in the same period of 2022. Net income margin was 0.4% in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with net loss margin of 8.1% in the same period of 2022.

¹ Starting from the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company updated the description of its revenue stream "advertising, marketing and other services" to "marketing and other services" to provide more relevant and clear information. It also updated the revenue description in comparative periods to conform to the current classification.

·	Non-GAAP adjusted net loss² was RMB3.4 million (US$0.5 million) in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with RMB27.9 million in the same period of 2022. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss margin² was 1.4% in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with 11.2% in the same period of 2022.

Fiscal Year 2023 Operational and Financial Highlights:

Revenues from recommendation services was RMB744.4 million (US$104.9 million) in the fiscal year of 2023, compared with RMB731.7 million in 2022. Revenues from recommendation services for loans increased by 33.2% to RMB343.8 million (US$48.4 million) in the fiscal year of 2023 from RMB258.1 million in 2022, primarily due to the increase in the number of loan applications. Revenues from recommendation services for credit cards decreased by 15.4% to RMB400.6 million (US$56.4 million) in the fiscal year of 2023 from RMB473.7 million in 2022, primarily due to the decrease in the credit card volume.

·	Revenues from big data and system-based risk management services decreased by 11.1% to RMB86.1 million (US$12.1 million) in the fiscal year of 2023, compared with RMB96.9 million in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the deconsolidation of Newsky Wisdom in the second quarter of 2023.

·	Revenues from marketing and other services¹ increased by 48.4% to RMB238.9 million (US$33.6 million) in the fiscal year of 2023 from RMB161.0 million in 2022. The increase was mainly attributable to the growth of insurance brokerage services and other new businesses.

Loss from operations was RMB52.5 million (US$7.4 million) in the fiscal year of 2023, compared with RMB152.0 million in the same period of 2022. Operating loss margin was 4.9% in the fiscal year of 2023, compared with 15.4% in 2022. The improvement of loss from operations was mainly attributable to the increase in revenues and the decrease in operating expenses resulting from efficiency improvement and cost optimization.

·	Net loss was RMB27.0 million (US$3.8 million) in the fiscal year of 2023, compared with RMB134.3 million in 2022. Net loss margin was 2.5% in the fiscal year of 2023, compared with 13.6% in 2022.

·	Non-GAAP adjusted net loss² was RMB35.7 million (US$5.0 million) in the fiscal year of 2023, compared with RMB120.2 million in 2022. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss margin² was 3.3% in the fiscal year of 2023, compared with 12.1% in 2022.

² Non-GAAP adjusted net loss represents net loss before share-based compensation expenses, investment impairment loss, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, investment gain of disposal of subsidiaries and tax effects of above Non-GAAP adjustments. See "Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" at the end of this document for more details about Non-GAAP adjusted net loss. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss margin equals Non-GAAP adjusted net loss divided by total revenues.

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2023 decreased by 3.8% to RMB238.9 million (US$33.6 million) from RMB248.3 million in the same period of 2022. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in revenues from big data and system-based risk management services and marketing and other services¹, partially offset by the increase of revenues from recommendation services.

Revenues from recommendation services increased by 3.9% to RMB178.0 million (US$25.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2023 from RMB171.3 million in the same period of 2022.

Revenues from recommendation services for credit cards decreased by 23.7% to RMB82.7 million (US$11.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2023 from RMB108.4 million in the same period of 2022. As certain credit card issuers lowered their marketing budget from the second quarter of 2023, credit card volume decreased by 30.0% to approximately 0.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 from 1.0 million in the same period of 2022. The average fee per credit card was RMB114.0 (US$16.1) and RMB113.0 in the fourth quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Revenues from recommendation services for loans increased by 51.7% to RMB95.4 million (US$13.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2023 from RMB62.9 million in the same period of 2022, primarily due to an increase in the number of loan applications and the increase in average fee per loan application. The number of loan applications was approximately 5.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, representing a 28.9% increase from that in the same period of 2022. The average fee per loan application was RMB16.4 (US$2.3) and RMB13.9 in the fourth quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Revenues from big data and system-based risk management services decreased by 42.9% to RMB16.5 million (US$2.3 million) in the fourth quarter of 2023 from RMB28.9 million in the same period of 2022, primarily due to the deconsolidation of Newsky Wisdom in the second quarter of 2023. The decline was also caused by a gradual shift of our business model of data-based risk management services towards cooperation with licensed credit reporting agencies. Through the cooperation, which is mandated by the relevant PRC regulation, we, together with the licensed credit reporting agencies, provide data-based risk management services to the financial institutions and share the economic interests accordingly.

Revenues from marketing and other services¹ decreased by 7.5% to RMB44.4 million (US$6.2 million) in the fourth quarter of 2023 from RMB48.0 million in the same period of 2022, primarily due to the decrease of the insurance brokerage services, partially offset by the growth of other new business initiatives.

Cost of promotion and acquisition decreased by 6.9% to RMB160.0 million (US$22.5 million) in the fourth quarter of 2023 from RMB171.8 million in the same period of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the efficiency improvements and, to a lesser extent, the decrease in revenues from marketing and other services.

Cost of operation decreased by 42.3% to RMB13.9 million (US$2.0 million) in the fourth quarter of 2023 from RMB24.1 million in the same period of 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in software development and maintenance costs related to the big data and system-based risk management services, which resulted from the deconsolidation of Newsky Wisdom as well as the decrease in data acquisition costs.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by 3.4% to RMB33.8 million (US$4.8 million) in the fourth quarter of 2023 from RMB32.7 million in the same period of 2022. The increase was primarily due to the increases in client service-related expenses and travel and entertainment expenses, partially offset by the decrease in payroll expenses resulting from the Company's continued efforts in cost optimization.

Research and development expenses decreased by 28.5% to RMB18.8 million (US$2.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2023 from RMB26.3 million in the same period of 2022, primarily due to the decrease in payroll expenses resulting from the Company's continued efforts in cost optimization.

General and administrative expenses decreased by 4.3% to RMB22.0 million (US$3.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with RMB23.0 million in the same period of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in professional fees.

Loss from operations was RMB9.6 million (US$1.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with RMB29.6 million in the same period of 2022. Operating loss margin was 4.0% in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with 11.9% in the same period of 2022. The decrease in operating loss was mainly attributable to the decrease in costs and expenses resulting from efficiency improvement and cost optimization.

Others, net decreased by 9.0% to RMB8.1 million (US$1.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2023 from RMB8.9 million in the same period of 2022. An investment gain of RMB5.5 million was recognized resulting from the disposal of remaining equity interest in Newsky Wisdom³ after the deconsolidation in the second quarter of 2023; while the Company recognized an investment gain of RMB17.0 million resulting from the deconsolidation of another subsidiary³ of the Group in the second quarter of 2022 and an impairment loss of RMB9.1 million on other long term investments.

Net income was RMB1.1 million (US$0.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared with net loss of RMB20.2 million in the same period of 2022. Net income margin was 0.4% in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with net loss margin 8.1% in the same period of 2022.

Non-GAAP adjusted net loss², which excluded share-based compensation expenses, investment impairment loss, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, investment gain of disposal of subsidiaries and tax effects of above Non-GAAP adjustments, was RMB3.4 million (US$0.5 million) in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with RMB27.9 million in the same period of 2022. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss margin² was 1.4% in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared with 11.2% in the same period of 2022.

³ In May 2023, the Group (Jianpu, its subsidiaries, and VIEs together are referred to as the "Group".) entered into a share transfer agreement with the founder and minority shareholder of Newsky Wisdom, which is one of the subsidiaries of the Group before the completion of the share transfer. During the second quarter of 2023, according to the share transfer agreement, the Group transferred 35.5% shares to the founder of Newsky Wisdom and consequently became a minority shareholder of Newsky Wisdom, and the Group no longer has control over Newsky Wisdom. The investment gain of RMB7.1 million was recognized in the second quarter of 2023 accordingly. In August 2023, the Group entered into a share transfer agreement with a third-party buyer to sell its remaining 15% equity interests in Newsky Wisdom. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the transaction was completed. The investment gain of RMB5.5 million was recognized accordingly.

In June 2022, Databook Tech Ltd ("Databook"), one of the Company's subsidiaries, made a cash distribution to its shareholders, through which the Company received a portion of the cash distribution. Databook also issued additional shares to one minority shareholder and changed the Company's board seat in Databook to one director. The Company consequently became a minority shareholder of Databook and no longer has control over Databook. The investment gain of RMB6.1 million was realized in the second quarter of 2022, and RMB17.0 million was realized in the fourth quarter of 2022.

⁴ Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before share-based compensation expenses, investment impairment loss, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and investment gain of disposal of subsidiaries.

Subsequent Event

In January 2024, the Company, together with other shareholders of an investee company, entered into an investment termination agreement with the investee company, according to which the Company's investment into the investee company was terminated and the investee company would pay the Company US$0.8 million as compensation for such termination. The compensation was fully paid to the Company in January 2024. The investment had been fully impaired by the Company in the year 2022, and therefore, the termination will lead to an investment gain of US$0.8 million in January 2024.

In January 2024, the Company announced its board of directors had authorized a share repurchase program, under which the Company may repurchase up to US$3 million of its American depositary shares ("ADSs") or Class A ordinary shares over the next 12 months. As of February 29, 2024, the Company had repurchased an aggregate of 115,847 of its ADSs for a total cost of approximately US$90 thousand.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net (loss)/income, each a Non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.

The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net (loss)/income help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of the expenses and gains that the Company include in (loss)/income from operations and net (loss)/income. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net (loss)/income provide useful information 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.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net (loss)/income should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to net (loss)/income or any other measure of performance or as indicators of the Company's operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the historical Non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net (loss)/income presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company's data. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before share-based compensation expenses, investment impairment loss, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and investment gain of disposal of subsidiaries. EBITDA represents net (loss)/income before interest income and expenses, income tax benefits/(expenses) from net (loss)/income, and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted net (loss)/income represents net (loss)/income before share-based compensation expenses, investment impairment loss, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, investment gain of disposal of subsidiaries and tax effects of above Non-GAAP adjustments.

For more information on this Non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP results" set forth at the end of this document.
