  • Total revenues from recommendation services for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased by 8.5% to RMB171.3 million (US$24.8 million) from RMB157.9 million in the same period of 2021, primarily driven by the increase in revenue from loan recommendation services, partially offset by the slight decrease in revenue from credit card recommendation services.

  • Revenues from marketing and other services[1] decreased by 11.9% to RMB48.0 million (US$7.0 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022 from RMB54.5 million in the same period of 2021, mainly attributable to the decrease of other new business initiatives.

Operating loss margin was 11.9% in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared with 24.6% in the same period of 2021.

  • Revenues from marketing and other services[1] increased by 62.0% to RMB161.0 million (US$23.3 million) in the fiscal year of 2022 from RMB99.4 million in 2021. The increase was mainly attributable to the growth of insurance brokerage services and other new business initiatives.
  • Loss from operations was RMB152.0 million (US$22.0 million) in the fiscal year of 2022, compared with RMB258.5 million in 2021. Operating loss margin was 15.4% in the fiscal year of 2022, compared with 32.1% in 2021.

Mr. David Ye, Co-founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Jianpu, commented, "Looking back on the year of 2022, despite the challenging economic environment, we weathered the storm and achieved sound business growth overall. Although our growth was hindered in the fourth quarter, which was one of the toughest quarters in the last few years, we recorded solid revenue growth of 22.9% on a full year basis. These defiant results were primarily driven by our preemptive measures to shore up our businesses and enhance our market leading position. We continued to differentiate ourselves by leveraging our unique asset-light platform model in the marketplace and consequently achieved both growth and efficiency gain on a full-year basis."

"We remain committed to our vision of 'Becoming everyone's financial partner' and empowering the digital transformation of financial industry, as well as other adjacent categories. Despite some uncertainties at this early stage of China's reopening, we are more optimistic about our performance in the longer term. The improving economic conditions, alongside disruptive trends in artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT, should open up new opportunities to facilitate the digital transformation of the economy and benefit inclusive finance for small and micro enterprises. We believe our industry-leading position, advanced technology, and sound execution should generate sustainable value creation for our shareholders," concluded Mr. Ye.

"Our overall 2022 results highlight our relentless efforts to maintain a balanced and diversified revenue structure, improve operating efficiency and execute disciplined cost optimization measures. In 2022, revenues from recommendation services increased by 27.2%, while revenues from our new business initiatives, i.e. marketing and other services, were up 62.0%. Our ROI[3] improved by 9 percentage points in the full year of 2022. Driven by our productivity improvement, as well as continued cost structure optimization, our non-GAAP adjusted net loss[2] reduced significantly by 35.6% year-over-year to RMB120.2 million (US$17.4 million) in 2022," said Oscar Chen, Chief Financial Officer of Jianpu.

Subsequent Events

Deposits with Silicon Valley Bank

The Company is aware that Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB") was closed on March 10, 2023 by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") as receiver. To protect insured depositors, the FDIC created the Deposit Insurance National Bank of Santa Clara. According to the FDIC press release, the FDIC as receiver will retain all the assets from SVB for later disposition. On March 12, 2023, the FDIC, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Department of the Treasury of the United States issued a joint statement addressing the failure of SVB. The joint statement indicates that the FDIC will provide direct protection of 100% of the deposits that depositors held at SVB, including the uninsured amounts, and that depositors will have access to all of their funds as of March 13, 2023.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had a cash deposit of US$3.3 million with SVB US Branch, representing approximately 3.4% of the Company's total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and time deposit as of December 31, 2022. As of March 13, 2023, the Company has a cash deposit of US$2.4 million with SVB US Branch. The rest of the Company's cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and time deposit is distributed across multiple large financial institutions. The Company's funds with SVB are largely uninsured.

The Company maintains a strong cash position. Notwithstanding the closure of SVB, the Company continues to believe that its existing cash and cash equivalent balance will be sufficient to meet its working capital, capital expenditures, and material cash requirements from known contractual obligations for the next twelve months and beyond. There is no disruption to the normal business operation of the Company.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net (loss)/income, each a Non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.

The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net (loss)/income help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of the expenses and gains that the Company include in (loss)/income from operations and net (loss)/income. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net (loss)/income provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net (loss)/income should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to net (loss)/income or any other measure of performance or as indicators of the Company's operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the historical Non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net (loss)/income presented here 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. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before share-based compensation expenses, investment impairment loss, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and investment gain of deconsolidation of subsidiaries. EBITDA represents net (loss)/income before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted net (loss)/income represents net (loss)/income before share-based compensation expenses, investment impairment loss, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, investment gain of deconsolidation of subsidiaries and tax effects of above Non-GAAP adjustments.

For more information on this Non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP results" set forth at the end of this press release.

[1] Starting from the fourth quarter of 2022, we updated the description of our revenue stream advertising, marketing and other services as

marketing and other services, to provide more relevant and clear information. We also updated the revenue description in comparative periods

to conform to the current classification.

 

[2] Non-GAAP adjusted net loss represents net loss before share-based compensation expenses, investment impairment loss, impairment of

goodwill and intangible assets, investment gain of deconsolidation of subsidiaries and tax effects of above Non-GAAP adjustments. See

"Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" at the end of this press release for more details about Non-GAAP adjusted net

loss. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss margin equals Non-GAAP adjusted net loss divided by total revenues.

 

[3] ROI is calculated as revenues of recommendation services and marketing and other services divided by cost of promotion and acquisition.

 

[4] In June 2022, Databook Tech Ltd ("Databook"), one of the Company's subsidiaries, made a cash distribution to its shareholders, through

which the Company received a portion of the cash distribution. Databook also issued additional shares to one minority shareholder and

changed the Company's board seat in Databook to one director. The Company consequently became a minority shareholder of Databook and

no longer has control over the Databook. The investment gain of RMB6.1 million was realized in the second quarter of 2022, and RMB17.0

million was realized in the fourth quarter of 2022.

 

[5] Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before share-based compensation expenses, investment impairment loss, impairment of

goodwill and intangible assets and investment gain of deconsolidation of subsidiaries. EBITDA represents net (loss)/income before interest

income and expenses, income tax benefits from net loss and depreciation and amortization. See "Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and

Non-GAAP Results" for more details.

 

[6] Tax effects on Non-GAAP adjustments was tax effects relating to the impairment of intangible assets.
