Chairman, CEO and CFO Comments

Mr. Chongfeng Shen, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “During the first half of 2024, we achieved encouraging results in overseas markets and improved our bottom-line despite the year-over-year decrease in revenue. Throughout this time, we focused on our strategic goal of achieving mid-term profitability by upgrading and integrating products, deepening customer engagement, and expanding our presence in overseas markets. Consequently, our high-value products, protected by high barriers to entry, gained broader appeal from customers, reflected in the 14.8% year-over-year increase in revenue from third-party overseas customers in our continuing operations during the first half of the year. We completed the disposal of our non-core virtual banking business to focus on our core businesses, and continued to implement disciplined expense control measures. As a result, we recorded net profit from continuing operations and discontinued operations during the first half of the year while further cost reductions continued to narrow our loss from continuing operations.”

“Despite our recent decision to gradually phase out the FinCloud business starting in July 2024, we maintain our strategic focus and will continue to empower the digital transformation of financial institutions and enterprises through our three main businesses: digital banking, digital insurance, and the Gamma platform. Leveraging our customer insights, industry expertise, and artificial intelligence technologies, we will further optimize our products, services, and solutions, and expand our premium-plus customer base. At the same time, we will explore broader overseas markets and expand our ecosystem to drive third-party revenue growth to ensure long-term healthy development.”

Mr. Yongtao Luo, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “Since the start of this year, our focus on improving resource and capital allocation efficiency has generated solid results. We completed the sale of our virtual banking business to refocus resources on our core businesses, resulting in a one-time gain recognized from the disposal in the amount of RMB260 million. This contributed to our net profit from continuing and discontinued operations attributable to shareholders of RMB139 million during the first half of the year, compared to a net loss of RMB190 million for the prior year period. Excluding gains from the sale of virtual banking business, net loss from continuing operations attributable to shareholders also narrowed significantly, falling 59.2% year-over-year and 68.7% sequentially during the second quarter, and 38.0% year-over-year to RMB70 million during the first half of the year. This significant narrowing of our losses from the continuing operation was primarily due to our ROI-oriented approach in managing expenses. In the first half of 2024, adjusted gross margin of continuing operations remained healthy at 39.4%, with operating expenses for continuing operations falling by 21.9% year-over-year. Looking ahead, we will leverage our ample cash position to drive research and development and accelerate innovation in the digital economy as we continue to implement disciplined cost control measures. We are confident this will enable us to grow our market share both domestically and internationally, ultimately achieving sustainable profitability.”

Revenue from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2024 decreased by 26.3% to RMB692 million from RMB939 million during the same period last year, primarily due to strategic adjustments made to our revenue mix as we focus on high-value products. Implementation revenue decreased by 27.7% year-over-year to RMB169 million during the second quarter of 2024, mainly due to a decline in demand for implementation of financial services systems domestically. Revenue from business origination services decreased by 69.0% year-over-year to RMB10 million during the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to a decline in transaction volumes from loan origination systems under digital credit management solutions. Revenue from risk management services decreased by 15.9% year-over-year to RMB61 million during the second quarter of 2024, mainly due to a decline in transaction volumes from banking related risk analytic solutions. Revenue from operation support services decreased by 47.3% year-over-year to RMB131 million during the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to a shift in business model for a number of auto ecosystem service providers where we transitioned from acting as a contractor to a distributor. Revenue from cloud services platform decreased by 10.3% year-over-year to RMB289 million during the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to reduced demand of cloud services.

Revenue from Digital Banking segment decreased by 57.4% to RMB100 million in the second quarter of 2024 from RMB235 million during the same period last year, mainly due to a decline in transaction volumes from business origination and risk management services, reflecting our continuing effort to phase out lower-value products. Revenue from Digital Insurance segment decreased by 33.3% to RMB127 million in the second quarter of 2024 from RMB191 million during the same period last year, primarily due a shift in business model for a number of auto ecosystem service providers where we transitioned from acting as a contractor to a distributor.

Use of Unaudited Non-IFRS Financial Measures

The unaudited consolidated financial information is prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) . Non-IFRS measures are used in gross profit and gross margin, adjusted to exclude non-cash items, which consist of amortization of intangible assets recognized in cost of revenue, depreciation of property and equipment recognized in cost of revenue, and share-based compensation expenses recognized in cost of revenue. OneConnect’s management regularly review non-IFRS gross profit and non-IFRS gross margin to assess the performance of our business. By excluding non-cash items, these financial metrics allow OneConnect’s management to evaluate the cash conversion of one dollar revenue on gross profit. OneConnect uses these non-IFRS financial measures to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. OneConnect believes that non-IFRS financial information, when taken collectively, is helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance, facilitates period-to-period comparisons of results of operations, and assists in comparisons with other companies, many of which use similar financial information. OneConnect also believes that presentation of the non-IFRS financial measures provides useful information to its investors regarding its results of operations because it allows investors greater transparency to the information used by OneConnect’s management in its financial and operational decision making so that investors can see through the eyes of the OneConnect’s management regarding important financial metrics that the management uses to run the business as well as allowing investors to better understand OneConnect’s performance. However, non-IFRS financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with IFRS, and may be different from similarly-titled non-IFRS measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-IFRS financial measure in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial measure prepared in accordance with IFRS. Whenever OneConnect uses a non-IFRS financial measure, a reconciliation is provided to the most closely applicable financial measure stated in accordance with IFRS. You are encouraged to review the related IFRS financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-IFRS financial measures to their most directly comparable IFRS financial measures. For more information on non-IFRS financial measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliation of IFRS and non-IFRS results (Unaudited)” set forth at the end of this press release.
