MOGU Announces Unaudited Financial Results For the Six Months Ended March 31, 2023 and Fiscal Year 2023

06/02/2023

MOGU Inc. (NYSE: MOGU) (“MOGU” or the "Company"), a KOL-driven online fashion and lifestyle destination in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended March 31, 2023 and fiscal year 2023.

Mr. Fan Yiming, Chief Executive Officer of MOGU, commented, “Fiscal Year 2023 has been an extremely challenging year. The competitive environment of online shopping continued to intensify and several surges in COVID-19 cases in China resulted in supply chain and logistics disruptions.

The Gross Merchandise Value (“GMV1”) and revenue of MOGU for the second half of fiscal year 2023 decreased by 38.0% and 30.2%, to RMB3,241 million and RMB117.2 million period-over-period, respectively.The declining GMV was driven by weakening demand in the fashion & accessories category, which was partially offset by accelerating growth for healthcare and food.

Consumer behavior has shifted during the Covid-19 pandemic. As many customers temporarily adopted a more conservative consumption attitude, they tend to exercise more prudence on discretionary spending like fashion and accessories. Meanwhile, people pay more attention to their health and general well-being, which in turn leads to more interest and willingness to consume healthcare related products. In response to this trend, we have proactively adjusted our product offerings and expanded our product portfolio with a variety of healthcare products, groceries, household supplies and foods. Our goal is to offer our customers a wider variety of products while providing a more enjoyable shopping experience."

"During the second half of fiscal year of 2023, our total revenues decreased by 30.2%, as compared with the same period of fiscal year 2022, to RMB117.2 million. We continued to take a holistic approach to improve our financial performance. The adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) and loss from operations were negative RMB6.8 million and RMB139.4 million, compared with negative RMB16.3 million and RMB240.3 million, respectively, for the same period of fiscal year 2022. We will also continue to explore new business opportunities to diversify our revenue structure," added Ms. Qi Feng, Financial Controller of MOGU.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non­GAAP measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income/loss as supplemental measures to review and assess operating performance. The presentation of these non­GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before interest income, interest expense, (gain)/loss from investments, net, income tax benefits, share of results of equity investees, goodwill impairment, share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, and depreciation of property and equipment. The Company defines Adjusted net loss as net loss excluding (gain)/loss from investments, net, goodwill impairment, share-based compensation expenses, and adjustments for tax effects. The Company excluded “amortization of intangible assets” as a non-recurring item in the presentation of adjusted net loss in its Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results for the six months ended March 31, 2023 and fiscal year 2023. As a result, the Company made the corresponding change to the prior period comparative metrics to conform with the new definition. See “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non­GAAP Results” at the end of this press release.

The Company presents these non­GAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company believes that the non­GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business by excluding certain expenses, gain/loss and other items that are not expected to result in future cash payments or that are non­recurring in nature or may not be indicative of the Company’s core operating results and business outlook. The Company also believes that the non­GAAP financial measures could provide further information about the Company’s results of operations, enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects.

The non­GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non­GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. The Company’s non­GAAP financial measures do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations and do not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Further, these non­GAAP measures may differ from the non­GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non­GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating performance. The Company encourages you to review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

For more information on the non­GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non­GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this press release.

________________________________
1GMV are to gross merchandise volume, refers to the total value of orders placed on the MOGU platform regardless of whether the products are sold, delivered or returned, calculated based on the listed prices of the ordered products without taking into consideration any discounts on the listed prices. Buyers on the MOGU platform are not charged for separate shipping fees over the listed price of a product. If merchants include certain shipping fees in the listed price of a product, such shipping fees will be included in GMV. As a prudent matter aiming at eliminating any influence on MOGU’s GMV of irregular transactions, the Company excludes from its calculation of GMV transactions over a certain amount (RMB100,000) and transactions by users over a certain amount (RMB1,000,000) per day.

2 The U.S. dollar (US$) amounts disclosed in this press release, except for those transaction amounts that were actually settled in U.S. dollars, are presented solely for the convenience of the readers. The conversion of Renminbi (RMB) into US$ in this press release is based on the exchange rate set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as of March 31, 2023, which was RMB6.8676 to US$1.00. The percentages stated in this press release are calculated based on the RMB amounts.

3 Adjusted EBITDA represents net loss before (i) interest income, (gain)/loss from investments, net, income tax expenses/(benefits) and share of results of equity investee, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and (ii) certain non-cash expenses, consisting of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, and depreciation of property and equipment. See “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non­GAAP Results” at the end of this press release.

4 Adjusted net loss represents net loss excluding (i) (gain)/loss from investments, net, (ii) share-based compensation expenses, (iii) impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, (iv) adjustments for tax effects. The Company excluded “amortization of intangible assets” as a non-recurring item in the presentation of adjusted net loss in its Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results for the six months ended March 31, 2023 and fiscal year 2023. As a result, the Company made the corresponding change to the prior period comparative metrics to conform with this new definition. See “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non­GAAP Results” at the end of this press release.

5 The Company changed the ADS to common share conversion ratio on March 28, 2022. The ratio changed from one (1) ADS to twenty-five (25) Class A ordinary share to the current ratio of one (1) ADS to three hundred (300) Class A ordinary shares. As a result, the Company made the corresponding change to the basic and diluted loss per ADS retroactively to reflect the new ADS conversion ratio.
