EXPLANATORY NOTE
Bitauto Holdings Limited (“Bitauto” or the “Company”) (NYSE: BITA) is furnishing its press release on this Form 6-K. This press release is an updated earnings release to correct certain clerical errors in the previously announced unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 as Exhibit 99.1.
On May 30, 2019, the Company announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019. In the original announcement, a clerical error was made in calculating diluted net income per ADS and Non-GAAP diluted net income per ADS, due to the fact that the weighted average number of ADSs was not properly calculated. Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto corrects this clerical error. As a result, (i) diluted net income per ADS is changed to RMB0.34 (US$0.05) and Non-GAAP diluted net income per ADS is changed to RMB1.91 (US$0.28), and (ii) weighted average number of ADSs used to calculate Non-GAAP diluted net income per ADS is changed to 76,993,901. There are no changes to any other GAAP information and non-GAAP information in the original announcement.
