Mr. Andy Zhang, chief executive officer of Bitauto, said, “Amidst a challenging auto industry environment, we were pleased to deliver a set of solid results for the first quarter of 2019, with total revenue growing by 26.0% year-over-year to RMB2.73 billion. Our advertising and subscription business continued to see steady growth, with revenue reaching RMB897.0 million, representing a 13.9% year-over year increase.

“During the quarter, we saw substantial increases in traffic, user time spent, and number of sales leads generated. According to Questmobile, in April 2019, daily active users (DAU) on the Bitauto media app increased by 197% since the upgrade which we rolled out in October 2018. Moreover, the combined DAU on both the Bitauto media app and Auto Pricing app rose by approximately 50% over the same period in 2018. Our total number of sales leads grew by approximately 15% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2019, with higher quality attributable to greater contribution from organic leads. As a result of the improving quantity and quality of sales leads, average revenue per user (ARPU) in our subscription business further increased as we continued to migrate members to our premium and recently launched deluxe premium service packages. We also expanded our network of independent dealers to over 26,000 during the first quarter of 2019, of which more than 2,300 were paying customers as of the end of this May.”
“In our transaction services business, Yixin continued to grow faster than the industry, strengthening its market leadership, and enhancing its competitive advantages. Yixin facilitated approximately 147,000 financed automobile transactions in the first quarter of 2019, a year-over-year increase of approximately 30%. During the quarter, Yixin’s financed new automobile transactions increased by approximately 23% year-over-year, while China’s new passenger vehicles sales decreased by 14% year-over-year, according to China Association of Automobile Manufacturers. Yixin’s financed used automobile transactions increased by approximately 39% year-over-year during the quarter, while China’s used passenger vehicle sales increased by 2% year-over-year, according to China Automobile Dealers Association. Yixin’s loan facilitation services contributed 66% of its total financed automobile transactions, with transaction volume up nearly 10 times compared to the same period of last year.”
“Looking forward, we will remain dedicated to executing on our core business strategies to build Bitauto into China's top online automobile media and transaction services platform. First, we will continue to improve content and user experience on the upgraded Bitauto media app, which has seen robust improvement in DAU, retention rate, as well as content generation and consumption. This will greatly strengthen our ability to bring higher quality sales leads to our automaker and dealer customers, helping enhance their sales conversion rates, and demonstrating our value proposition amid the current soft market of automobile sales. Second, we will drive incremental revenue growth in our advertising business through data products, which provide automakers with integrated results-driven marketing solutions. Our data products enable automakers to analyse real-time consumer behavior, including browsing, research and purchasing, to further improve conversion rates. Third, we will further develop our subscription business this year, as we enhance ARPU from 4S dealer customers through sales of premium and deluxe premium service packages, and expand our services to cover more independent dealers while gradually increasing monetization among this vast and under-tapped market segment. Fourth, Yixin will remain focused on rapidly expanding its financed automobile transactions, growing its loan facilitation business, and developing its technology capabilities to better understand, connect, and serve consumers, financial institution partners, and automobile dealers. We believe that Yixin is well-positioned to gain market share in the automobile finance industry.”

Mr. Ming Xu, chief financial officer of Bitauto, said, “Despite soft sales in the automobile industry, our results for the first quarter of 2019 maintained a steady growth trajectory, with strong performances from both our advertising and subscription business and transaction services business. We were also able to increase profitability in the first quarter, mainly attributable to improved profitability at Yixin, as well as effective control on sales and marketing expenses. With growing traffic and enhanced user experience, we believe our upgraded Bitauto media app should continue to strengthen Bitauto’s value proposition, which we believe will be increasingly recognized by our OEM and dealer customers as they focus on the effectiveness of their advertising spending. We expect the growth of our user base and brand value will further solidify our leading industry position, reduce our customer acquisition costs and enhance our margins. We remain optimistic about Yixin’s margin outlook for the full year as it further grows its total financed transaction volume.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement Bitauto's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Bitauto uses Non-GAAP income from operations, Non-GAAP net income, Non-GAAP net income attributable to Bitauto and Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS as Non-GAAP financial measures, and uses Yixin’s Non-GAAP net income/(loss) as Non-GAAP financial measures to supplement the disclosure of financial performance of Yixin. Non-GAAP income from operations is defined as (loss)/income from operations excluding (i) share-based compensation; (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from asset and business acquisitions. Non-GAAP net income and Non-GAAP net income attributable to Bitauto, respectively, are defined as net (loss)/income and net (loss)/income attributable to Bitauto excluding (i) share-based compensation; (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from asset and business acquisitions; (iii) investment income associated with the share of equity method investments; (iv) investment income associated with non-cash investment matters; (v) amortization of the BCF discount on the convertible notes; and (vi) tax effect of Non-GAAP line items. Non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ADS is defined as Non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the parent company divided by basic and diluted weighted average number of ADS. Yixin’s Non-GAAP net income/(loss) is defined as net income/(loss) excluding (i) share-based compensation; (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from asset and business acquisitions; and (iii) tax effect of Non-GAAP line items. These Non-GAAP financial measures provide Bitauto's management with the ability to assess its operating results by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the performance of its business such as non-cash and non-recurring items. Bitauto believes these Non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors by understanding supplemental information used by management in its assessment of operating results.
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 Bitauto or Yixin 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.
