MOGU Announces Unaudited Financial Results for the Six Months Ended March 31, 2024 and Fiscal Year 2024

HANGZHOU, China--()--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, 2024 and fiscal year 2024.

Mr. Fan Yiming, Chief Executive Officer of MOGU, commented, “In the second half of 2024, competition in China’s online retail industry continued to intensify. Having entered its seventh year, the live streaming e-commerce industry is experiencing a new lifecycle of key opinion leaders (KOLs). Major platforms are overseeing the rise and cultivation of new KOLs, while veteran KOLs are cycling out of mainstream prominence. With evolving dynamics and challenges spanning the online retail industry, MOGU has also been impacted. In the second half of fiscal year 2024, MOGU’s gross merchandise value (GMV) decreased by 6% to RMB3.04 billion.

To mitigate these challenges, we have been implementing a new operational strategy that was proposed during this fiscal year to restructure into a professional services platform. MOGU now provides KOLs with more comprehensive services including merchant sourcing, product promotion, and streaming assistance in an attempt to further reduce operational costs for merchants and KOLs. Alongside this, we are leveraging the sales expertise and service capabilities we have accrued over the years to conduct live streaming operations for merchants and KOL agency businesses. These live streaming operations run across a diverse array of channels, notably including Douyin, Kuaishou and Xiaohongshu. We believe this segment offers great potential and will be beneficial to diversifying our revenue structure.”

During the second half of fiscal year of 2024, our total revenues decreased by 34.3% to RMB77.0 million. The loss from operations was RMB27.1 million, compared to RMB139.4 million for the same period of fiscal year 2023. Over the past six months, we have diligently optimized our cost structure and improved operational efficiency, yielding positive outcomes. However, despite these efforts, the increasing cost of acquiring new customers and a decline in revenue prevented us from achieving our targeted operational results. Looking ahead, we will continue to focus on cost reduction and efficiency enhancements and continue looking for new revenue growth opportunities. We are confident that these measures will contribute to our overall financial resilience and sustainable growth,” added Ms. Qi Feng, Financial Controller.

  • Marketing services revenues decreased by 78.2% to RMB1.0 million (US$0.1 million) from RMB4.4 million in fiscal year 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the challenging competitive environment.
  • Financing solutions revenues decreased by 20.7% to RMB10.3 million (US$1.4 million) from RMB12.9 million in the same period of fiscal year 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in service fees of loans to users in line with the lower GMV.

Amortization of intangible assets decreased by 96.8% to RMB1.9 million (US$0.3 million) from RMB60.0 million in fiscal year 2023, primarily because the majority of the intangible assets recorded as a result of the business cooperation agreement MOGU entered into with Tencent in July 2018 had been fully amortized as of December 31, 2022.

Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets for the year ended March 31, 2024 was RMB9.9 million (US$1.4 million), compared to RMB84.7 million in the fiscal year 2023.

In fiscal year 2024, the Company recognized a full impairment charge of RMB9.9 million against its intangible assets arising from the acquisition of Ruisha Technology. The recorded impairments resulted from weaker-than-expected operating results which reflect an increasingly competitive business environment and the related limited future economic benefits expected to be generated from these intangible assets.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income/loss as supplemental measures to review and assess operating performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP 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)/expenses, share of results of equity investees, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, 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, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, share-based compensation expenses, and adjustments for tax effects. See “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” at the end of this press release.

The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company believes that the non-GAAP 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 non-GAAP 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 non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. The Company’s non-GAAP 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 non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP 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 non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this press release.

1 GMV 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, 2024, which was RMB7.2203 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, interest expense, (gain)/loss from investments, net, income tax (benefits)/expenses and share of results of equity investees, 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 Non-GAAP 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. See “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” at the end of this press release.
