Financial and Operational Highlights for Full Year 2023

Mr. Leslie Yu, Quhuo’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are pleased to close out fiscal year 2023 with strong financial and operational results. As of the end of 2023, we have achieved positive EBITDA for four consecutive half years, which is a remarkable accomplishment. It signifies the company's consistent profitability over the past two years, demonstrating a stable and sound operational performance.”

“In 2023, we strategically pursued a second growth curve for our business by expanding into new avenues through vehicle export solutions and SaaS+ services , following our strategy to enhance profitability following revenue growth initiated in the fiscal year 2021. Our successful export of approximately 1,900 units of new energy vehicles and electric mopeds from China, generating revenue of RMB154.5 million, underscores the growth potential of our new business ventures. Furthermore, we have empowered local service providers through SaaS+ services, resulting in favorable transformational outcomes. The gross profit of housekeeping and accommodation solutions and other services achieved a significant increase leveraging SaaS+. In the future, we anticipate forming large-scale partnerships with new customers and expanding service coverage to a wider business area, bringing more business growth to the Company through SaaS+ services.”

“With a firm belief in the immense opportunities presented by global markets, we are dedicated to seizing these prospects for growth and advancement. Coupled with over a decade of experience in internet operation and technology as well as outstanding last-mile delivery capability achieved through flexible labor practices by Quhuo, the Company will leverage China’s superior capabilities and industry clusters in new energy vehicle manufacturing to adapt to the vast overseas market.

We recorded other income, net, of RMB10.7 million (US$1.5 million), compared to other loss, net, of RMB17.8 million in the second half of 2022, primarily due to the fluctuation in the fair value of our investment in a mutual fund.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Quhuo has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP).

Quhuo uses adjusted net income/loss and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Adjusted net income/loss represents net income/loss before share-based compensation expenses. Adjusted EBITDA represents adjusted net income/loss before income tax benefit/expense, amortization, depreciation and interest. Quhuo believes that these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of share-based compensation expenses, income tax benefits or expenses, amortization, depreciation and interest. Quhuo believes that such non-GAAP financial measures also provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.

The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. They should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to net loss or any other performance measures or as an indicator of Quhuo’s operating performance. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures 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. Quhuo encourages investors and others to review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. Investors are encouraged to compare the historical non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Quhuo mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating its performance. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of our net income/loss to adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA, respectively.

Unless otherwise noted, all translations from RMB to U.S. dollars are made at a rate of RMB7.0999 to US$1.00, the rate in effect as of December 31, 2023 as set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board.

Quhuo Announced the Unaudited Financial Results for the 2023H2 and Full Year: Second Growth Curve Broadens New Growth Space

BEIJING, China, April 3, 2024 (PRNewswire) -- Quhuo Limited (NASDAQ: QH) (“Quhuo,” the “Company”, “we” or “our”), a leading gig economy platform focusing on local life services in China, today reported its unaudited financial results for the six months and full year ended December 31, 2023, with significant financial results and successful identifying the company's second growth curve which were vehicle export solutions and SaaS+ services in 2023.

Remarkable Financial Performance with Four Consecutive Financial Reporting Periods of Positive EBITDA

In 2023, Quhuo's total revenue reached RMB 3.7 billion, with a gross profit of RMB 1.7 million. Adjusted net income achieved an increase of 64.7% year-over-year, amounting to RMB 5.5 million. Income before income tax for the year grew by 10.7% year-on-year to RMB 5.1 million. The Company achieved several positive metrics such as net income and income per share, along with positive EBITDA for four consecutive financial reporting periods.

Additionally, Quhuo's remarkable cost-control efforts were noteworthy. Cost of revenue decreased by 0.9%, and general and administrative costs decreased year-over-year by 13.7% to RMB184.3 million in 2023. R&D costs decreased by 1.3% to RMB 12.4 million during the full year, with a slight increase in the second half due to investment in SaaS+ services and a notable reduction of 7.2% in the first half year.

A Significant Breakthrough in the Vehicle Export Drove Rapid Growth in the Mobility Solutions

The vehicle export business, a new venture derived from mobility solutions, was officially launched in May 2023. Despite being operational for only seven months by the end of 2023, it achieved significant breakthroughs. Quhuo International exported approximately 1,900 used vehicles from China to countries and regions including Jordan, generating RMB 154.5 million in revenue in 2023.

The success of the used vehicle export business also propelled rapid growth in mobility solutions, with an increase of 239.6% year-on-year to RMB 175.3 million and 116.4% to RMB 233.8 million in 2023H2 and 2023 respectively.

The achievements of Quhuo International can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, there is a strong demand for new energy vehicles in overseas markets. Secondly, the rapid growth of China's used vehicle export industry, with exports exceeding 160,000 vehicles in 2023 according to customs data, indicates significant market potential.

Lastly and most importantly, Quhuo possesses unique advantages distinct from other used vehicle traders, such as accumulated experience and resources in technology and operations, a profound understanding of the used vehicle trading market and ecosystem, a nationwide network of diverse and abundant used vehicle sources, a vehicle refurbishment resource network comprising extensive maintenance and repair resources, and close cooperation with overseas distributors. These factors collectively establish Quhuo's competitive edge in the global used vehicle trading market, indicating vast prospects and development potential for this business.

Business Transformation Driven by SaaS+ Services, boosting Profitability in the Housekeeping and Accommodation Solutions

Another key engine of the second growth curve, SaaS empowerment, mainly focuses on housekeeping and accommodation solutions and other services. Beginning in the first half of 2023, after successful validation of the self-operated model, Quhuo tried transitioning the housekeeping and accommodation solutions to the SaaS+ service empowerment model.

Following six months of market validation, a comprehensive shift of housekeeping and accommodation solutions and other services to the SaaS+ empowerment model was witnessed during the second half of 2023. This transformation drove rapid growth in GMV of housekeeping and accommodation solutions to RMB514 million, a 53% increase compared to 2022.

Benefiting from the successful empowerment of SaaS+ services, the profitability of this business sector significantly improved, with gross profit increasing by 48.7% year-on-year, and gross profit margin rising significantly. Furthermore, the promotion of SaaS+ services led to significant cost reduction effects, with costs of revenue in housekeeping and accommodation solutions and other services declining by 35.5%, including a 53.4% reduction in accommodation service operating costs.

Leslie Yu, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Quhuo, mentioned in the earnings conference call of 2023 that the company's three major business models have collectively built a comprehensive business framework with one cornerstone sector, namely fulfillment services, stabilizing the company's original revenue and profit. SaaS+ services and international vehicle trade, as leverage, will propel the company to achieve higher business growth opportunities, completely unlocking the company's upward growth space.

It is believed Quhuo will continuously innovate and aim for higher growth rates in new business areas while consolidating the advantages of its cornerstone business in such a business framework. While globally promoting its business, such as international trading and extending the on-demand delivery services into overseas market, Quhuo will bring more new opportunities to the job market, provide more choices and development opportunities for laborers domestically and abroad, promote employment growth, enhance labor market flexibility, and drive sustainable socio-economic development.
