First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2021 Financial Results

 

Net revenue. Total net revenue was RMB280.4 million (US$39.7 million), a decrease of RMB32.4 million or 10% from RMB312.8 million for the same quarter of last fiscal year, which was mainly due to the decrease in product sales revenue through the full-service model, partially offset by the significant increase in services revenue through the platform model.

 

Services revenue through the platform model was RMB113.7 million (US$16.1 million), an increase of RMB48.2 million or 74% from RMB65.5 million for the same quarter of last fiscal year. The increase was mainly attributable to (i) the increase in the number of KOLs serving the Company’s platform model, which increased to 174 as of June 30, 2020 from 133 as of June 30, 2019; (ii) the improved performance of such KOLs as evidenced by the increase in the aggregate number of the platform top-tier, established and emerging KOLs to 45 as of June 30, 2020 from 28 as of June 30, 2019; and (iii) an increase in the number of brands that the Company cooperated with in its advertising business to 431 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 from 278 for the same quarter of last fiscal year.

 

Product sales revenue through the full-service model was RMB166.8 million (US$23.6 million), a decrease of RMB80.5 million or 33% from RMB247.3 million for the same quarter of last fiscal year. The decrease was primarily attributable to (i) the transition of the business model of some online stores from the full-service model to the platform model, as a result of which, the number of the Company’s online stores decreased to 19 as of June 30, 2020 from 40 as of June 30, 2019, while the number of the Company’s KOLs serving the full-service model decreased to 3 as of June 30, 2020 from 11 as of June 30, 2019. This factor accounted for the majority of the decrease; (ii) the Company experienced a significant decrease in product sales generated from the online stores under the name of a top KOL who suffered from negative publicity since April 2020; and (iii) the ongoing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in China during the first fiscal quarter, although to a lesser extent as compared to the previous quarter.

 

Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue was RMB173.0 million (US$24.5 million), a decrease of RMB28.3 million or 14% from RMB201.3 million for the same quarter of last fiscal year, which was primarily in line with the decrease in total net revenue. Cost of product sales decreased by RMB55.3 million or 32% year-over-year to RMB118.6 million. Cost of revenue primarily included product costs, inventory write-downs and KOL service fees.

 

Gross profit. Gross profit was RMB107.4 million (US$15.2 million), a decrease of RMB4.1 million or 4% from RMB111.5 million for the same quarter of last fiscal year, primarily as a result of the decrease in product sales revenue. Gross margin increased to 38% from 36% for the same quarter of last fiscal year, primarily attributable to the increase in services revenue as a percentage of total net revenue to 41% from 21% for the same quarter of last fiscal year. Services revenue has a higher gross margin as compared to product sales revenue.

Total operating expenses. Total operating expenses were RMB171.9 million (US$24.3 million), an increase of RMB33.1 million or 24% from RMB138.8 million for the same quarter of last fiscal year. Included in the total operating expenses was an aggregate of RMB67.3 million of noncash impairment and amortization of intangible assets in relation to exclusive cooperation rights, noncash share-based compensation expense, and litigation costs (inclusive of noncash impairment of exclusive cooperation rights of RMB53.2 million) in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 compared to a noncash amortization of exclusive cooperation rights of RMB5.2 million in the same quarter of last fiscal year. Total operating expenses accounted for 61% and 44% (or 37% and 43%, exclusive of noncash charges and litigation costs as mentioned above) of the total net revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Fulfillment expenses were RMB18.8 million (US$2.7 million), a decrease of RMB16.2 million or 46% from RMB35.0 million for the same quarter of last fiscal year. The decrease was largely in line with the decrease in product sales. Fulfillment expenses accounted for 11% and 14% of product sales revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Sales and marketing expenses were RMB69.5 million (US$9.8 million), an increase of RMB0.5 million or 1% from RMB69.0 million for the same quarter of last fiscal year. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of expenses for KOL incubation, cultivation and training for the Company’s platform KOLs, as well as expenses incurred for the Company’s advertising, marketing and brand promotion activities under the full-service model. Following the expansion of KOL pool from 133 signed KOLs as of June 30, 2019 to 174 as of June 30, 2020, related expenses incurred for KOL incubation, cultivation and training in order to support increased activities for the Company’s KOL sales and advertising business increased accordingly. Sales and marketing expenses accounted for 25% and 22% (or 23% and 22%, exclusive of noncash share-based compensation expense) of total net revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

General and administrative expenses were RMB25.2 million (US$3.6 million), a decrease of RMB5.3 million or 17% from RMB30.5 million for the same quarter of last fiscal year. General and administrative expenses accounted for 9% and 10% (or 7% and 10%, exclusive of noncash share-based compensation expense and litigation costs) of total net revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Amortization of exclusive cooperation rights was RMB5.2 million (US$0.7 million) compared to RMB5.2 million for the same quarter of last fiscal year, which represented the amortization of intangible assets in relation to exclusive cooperation rights granted by a top KOL.

 

Impairment of exclusive cooperation rights was RMB53.2 million (US$7.5 million) in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 compared to nil in the same quarter of last fiscal year. The Company experienced a significant decrease in the product sales revenue generated from the online stores served by a top KOL who suffered from negative publicity since April 2020. The Company assessed the continuing impacts to its operations and recognized an impairment on the intangible assets relating to the exclusive cooperation rights granted by this KOL as of June 30, 2020.

 

Interest income, net. Interest income, net was RMB6.3 million (US$0.9 million), an increase of RMB4.9 million from RMB1.4 million for the same quarter of last fiscal year.

 

Other income, net. Other income, net was RMB4.0 million (US$0.6 million), an increase of RMB3.4 million from RMB0.6 million for the same quarter of last fiscal year.

 

Loss before income taxes. Loss before income taxes was RMB54.3 million (US$7.7 million) compared to RMB24.9 million for the same quarter of last fiscal year, as a result of the foregoing.

 

Income taxes. Income tax expense was RMB3.4 million (US$0.5 million) compared to RMB3.4 million for the same quarter of last fiscal year.

 

Net loss attributable to ruhnn. Net loss attributable to ruhnn was RMB56.6 million (US$8.0 million), inclusive of an aggregate of RMB67.3 million of noncash amortization expense and impairment loss of exclusive cooperation rights, noncash share-based compensation expense, and litigation costs, compared to RMB26.7 million, inclusive amortization of exclusive cooperation rights of RMB5.2 million, for the same quarter of last fiscal year.

 

Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to ruhnn. Adjusted net income attributable to ruhnn was RMB10.7 million (US$1.5 million) compared to a loss of RMB21.6 million for the same quarter of last fiscal year.

 

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

 

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investment of RMB795.4 million (US$112.6 million) compared to RMB800.6 million as of March 31, 2020.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was RMB11.6 million (US$1.6 million) for the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 compared to RMB1.0 million for the same quarter of last fiscal year.

Outlook

 

The Company reiterates that, for the full fiscal year 2021, it currently expects its net revenue from services through the platform model to be between RMB520.0 million and RMB610.0 million, representing year-over-year growth of between 72% and 101%.

 

This forecast reflects the Company’s current and preliminary view on the current business situation and market conditions, which are all subject to change.

 

The Company does not provide outlook for its product sales revenue for the full fiscal year 2021, primarily because of the uncertainty of the continuing impacts of the following factor: The Company has experienced a significant decrease in the product sales revenue generated from the online stores served by a top KOL who suffered from negative publicity since April 2020.

 

Share Repurchase Program

 

On June 2, 2020, the Company announced that its board of directors had approved a share repurchase program of up to US$15 million of the Company’s outstanding American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) for a period not to exceed 12 months beginning on June 2, 2020. The Company commenced this share repurchase program on June 9, 2020 and between that day and the end of September 11, 2020, 891,004 ADSs were repurchased for an aggregate consideration of approximately US$3.1 million. The Company expects to continue to implement its share repurchase program in a manner consistent with market conditions and the interest of its shareholders, subject to the restrictions relating to volume, price and timing under applicable law.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The Company uses non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted net (loss) income attributable to ruhnn, adjusted basic and diluted net (loss) income per ADS and adjusted (loss) income  from operations in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business by excluding the impact of noncash charges of impairment and amortization of intangible assets in relation to exclusive cooperation rights and share-based compensation expense, and litigation costs incurred in relation to the class action. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about the Company’s results of operations, enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making.

 

5


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, and when assessing the Company’s performance, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

The Company 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 the Company’s performance.

 

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” set forth at the end of this press release.
