Mr. Jianping Kong, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “the first half of 2024 have shown clear signs of industry recovery and emerging market opportunities. In response to the exciting bullish market, our company has been heavily investing in the research and development of our upgraded Cuckoo series products. In May, we announced the successful mass production of the Cuckoo 3.0 chip, which significantly outperforms its predecessor, the Cuckoo 2.0 chip. This breakthrough positions us to capitalize on new market opportunities. Our company will continue to launch various models equipped with the Cuckoo 3.0 chip for different application scenarios in the second half of this year and the first half of 2025. We expect this will substantially boost our sales.

Additionally, our company is continuously improving packaging technology and IP to boost the efficiency of chip production. We are also actively developing promising AI computing and ZK computing chips.

At the same time, our iPollo Metaverse's photograph studio service is steadily advancing, with deep cooperation with various institutions and organizations. We believe this venture has the potential for explosive growth in the future.”

Looking ahead, we are committed to overcoming current challenges and improving our performance.”

First Half of 2024 Financial Results

Net Revenues

Net revenue was RMB24.7 million (US$3.5 million) for the first half of 2024, compared to RMB52.3 million for the same period of 2023. The decrease in net revenues was primarily due to the drop of sales volume of iPollo V1 Series. The revenues in 3D-printing products, our new products, was RMB459.2 thousand for the first half of 2024, compared to RMB22.0 thousand for the same period of 2023.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues was RMB24.7 million (US$3.5 million) for the first half of 2024, compared to RMB115.2 million for the same period of 2023. The change was mainly due to the decrease in sales volume and less inventory write-down recorded.

The cost of 3D-printing products was RMB338.7 thousand for the first half of 2024, compared to RMB10.2 thousand for the same period of 2023.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses decreased by 20.1% to RMB58.7 million (US$8.2 million) for the first half of 2024, from RMB73.5 million for the same period of 2023.

  • Selling and marketing expenses decreased by 54.4% to RMB4.3 million (US$0.6 million) for the first half of 2024, from RMB9.5 million for the same period of 2023. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses was primarily due to the decrease in sales commission and product shipping expenses.
  • General and administrative expenses decreased by 18.0% to RMB25.5 million (US$3.6 million) for the first half of 2024, from RMB31.0 million for the same period of 2023. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to (1) the decrease in office lease expenses mainly attributable to the relocation of the head office and (2) the decrease in employee salary expenses as the number and salaries of general and administrative staff decreased.
  • Research and development expenses decreased by 12.2% to RMB28.9 million (US$4.1 million) for the first half of 2024, from RMB33.0 million for the same period of 2023. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to the decrease in salary expenses.

Loss from Operations

As a result of the foregoing, loss from operations decreased by 57.0% to RMB58.7 million (US$8.2 million) for the first half of 2024 from RMB136.4 million for the same period of 2023.

Finance Expense (Income)

Finance income was RMB0.6 million (US$0.1 million) for the first half of 2024, compared with finance expense of RMB1.6 million for the same period of 2023.

Interest expense

Interest expense was RMB2.0 million (US$0.3 million) for the first half of 2024, compared to nil for the same period of 2023. The change was due to the completion of construction in progress and cease of interest capitalization during the first half of 2024.

Net Loss

Net loss was RMB59.1 million (US$8.3 million) for the first half of 2024, compared with RMB134.3 million in the same period of 2023.

Exchange Rate

This press release contains translations of certain Renminbi (RMB) amounts into U.S. dollars (US$) solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise specified, all translations of Renminbi amounts into U.S. dollar amounts in this press release are made at RMB7.1268 to US$1.00, the central parity rate on June 30, 2024 published by the People’s Bank of China.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating our business, we consider and use adjusted net income/(loss) as an additional non-GAAP measure to review and assess our operating performance. The presentation of the 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. We define adjusted net income/(loss) as net income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation expense.

We present the non-GAAP financial measure because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. Non-GAAP financial measures enable our management to assess our operating results without considering the impact of non-cash charges and non-operating items. We also believe that the use of the non-GAAP measure facilitates investors’ assessment of our operating performance.

The 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 analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using the non-GAAP financial measure is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect our operations. Share-based compensation expenses have been and may continue to be incurred in our business and are not reflected in the presentation of adjusted net income/(loss). Further, the non-GAAP measure may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.
