Apr 21 2025 10:00 BST

HANGZHOU, China , April 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Yunji Inc. ("Yunji" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: YJ), a leading membership-based social e-commerce platform, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2024^[1].

Fourth Quarter 2024 Highlights

Total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2024 were RMB97.1 million (US$13.3 million), compared with RMB149.1 million in the same period of 2023. The change was primarily due to soft consumer confidence and the Company's continued strategy to refine its product selection across all categories and optimize its selection of suppliers and merchants, which had a near-term impact on sales.
Repeat purchase rate^[2] in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 was 71.9%.

Mr. Shanglue Xiao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yunji, said, "As we navigate the current market landscape, we are making progress in repositioning Yunji as the leading platform for organic health products. We have focused our operations on high-margin, high-repeat purchase categories, particularly organic health foods and nutritional products. In 2025, we aim to transform Yunji into an experiential health and wellness destination through our expanding health-focused ecosystem."

"In the fourth quarter, we optimized our cost structure by refining our staff structure and significantly reducing fulfillment and technology expenses year-over-year. As we enter 2025, we will maintain financial discipline while investing strategically to drive sustainable growth and improve profitability." said Mr. Yeqing Cui, Senior Financial Director of Yunji.

Fourth Quarter 2024 Unaudited Financial Results

Total revenues were RMB97.1 million (US$13.3 million), compared with RMB149.1 million in the same period of 2023. This change was primarily due to soft consumer confidence and the Company's continued strategy to refine its product selection across all categories and optimize its selection of suppliers and merchants, which had a near-term impact on sales.

Revenues from sales of merchandise were RMB75.5 million (US$10.3 million), compared with RMB112.3 million in the same period of 2023.
Revenues from the marketplace business were RMB19.4 million (US$2.7 million), compared with RMB34.3 million in the same period of 2023.
Other revenues were RMB2.2 million (US$0.3 million), compared with RMB2.5 million in the same period of 2023.

Total cost of revenues decreased by 36.9% to RMB50.2 million (US$6.9 million), or 51.7% of total revenues, from RMB79.6 million, or 53.4% of total revenues, in the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to the change in merchandise sales, for which revenues and cost of revenues are recognized on a gross basis. Total cost of revenues, which primarily comprises the costs related to the sales of merchandise, decreased accordingly in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Total operating expenses increased by 14.9% to RMB126.2 million (US$17.3 million) from RMB109.8 million in the same period of 2023.

Fulfillment expenses decreased by 33.9% to RMB16.4 million (US$2.3 million), or 16.9% of total revenues, from RMB24.8 million, or 16.6% of total revenues, in the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to (i) reduced personnel costs as a result of staffing structure refinements, (ii) reduced warehousing and logistics expenses due to lower merchandise sales, and (iii) decreased service fees charged by third-party payment settlement platforms.
Sales and marketing expenses increased by 6.0% to RMB30.2 million (US$4.1 million), or 31.1% of total revenues, from RMB28.5 million, or 19.1% of total revenues, in the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in business promotion expenses.
Technology and content expenses decreased by 29.2% to RMB8.5 million (US$1.2 million), or 8.8% of total revenues, from RMB12.0 million, or 8.1% of total revenues, in the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to (i) the reduction in personnel costs as a result of staffing structure refinements, and (ii) reduced server costs.
General and administrative expenses increased by 59.8% to RMB71.1 million (US$9.7 million), or 73.2% of total revenues, from RMB44.5 million, or 29.8% of total revenues, in the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase in severance pay as a result of staffing structure refinements, and (ii) an impairment of long-lived assets other than goodwill, partially offset by a decrease in an allowance for credit losses.

Loss from operations was RMB77.7 million (US$10.6 million), compared with RMB39.5 million in the same period of 2023.

Financial loss, net was RMB2.6 million (US$0.4 million), compared with financial loss, net of RMB23.4 million in the same period of 2023, primarily due to a decrease in the fair value changes of equity securities investments.

Net loss was RMB85.0 million (US$11.7 million), compared with RMB65.9 million in the same period of 2023.

Adjusted net loss (non-GAAP)^[3] was RMB84.5 million (US$11.6 million), compared with RMB65.0 million in the same period of 2023.

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to ordinary shareholders were both RMB0.04 (US$0.01), compared with RMB0.03 in the same period of 2023.

Fiscal Year 2024 Unaudited Financial Results

Technology and content expenses decreased by 14.8% to RMB45.6 million (US$6.3 million), or 10.9% of total revenues, from RMB53.5 million, or 8.4% of total revenues, in the full year of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the same factors that led to the quarterly decrease.

Net loss was RMB123.1 million (US$16.9 million), compared with RMB165.1 million in the full year of 2023.

Adjusted net loss^[3] was RMB120.7 million (US$16.5 million), compared with RMB166.0 million in the full year of 2023.

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to ordinary shareholders were both RMB0.06 (US$0.01), compared with RMB0.08 in the full year of 2023.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses adjusted net loss as a supplemental measure to review and assess operating performance. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company defines adjusted net loss as net loss excluding share-based compensation.

The Company presents adjusted net loss because it is used by management to evaluate operating performance and formulate business plans. Adjusted net loss enables management to assess operating performance without considering the impact of share-based compensation recorded under ASC 718, "Compensation-Stock Compensation." The Company also believes that the use of this non-GAAP measure facilitates investors' assessment of operating performance.

This non-GAAP financial measure is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool. One of the key limitations of using adjusted net loss is that it does not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company's operations. Share-based compensation has been and may continue to be incurred in Yunji's business and is not reflected in the presentation of adjusted net loss. Further, this non-GAAP measure may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore its comparability may be limited.

The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating performance. Yunji encourages investors and others to review its 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 "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to the Most Directly Comparable Financial Measures" set forth at the end of this press release.

"Repeat purchase rate" only considers orders placed through the Company's app. Repeat purchases made through the Company's mini-programs are excluded from the calculation.
[3]. Adjusted net loss is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as net loss excluding share-based compensation expense. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to the Most Directly Comparable Financial Measures" set forth at the end of this press release.
