Uxin Reports Unaudited Financial Results for the Quarter and Full Year Ended December 31, 2024

 

BEIJING, April 30, 2025 – Uxin Limited (“Uxin” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: UXIN), China’s leading used car retailer, today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024. As previously announced on November 25, 2024, the Company’s board of directors approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31, effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2024. Accordingly, references in this release to the “full year of 2024” and the “full year ended December 31, 2024” denote the twelve-month period from January 1 to December 31, 2024, while the “fourth quarter of 2024” and the “quarter ended December 31, 2024” refer to the three-month period from October 1 to December 31, 2024.

 

Dear Shareholders,

 

On behalf of Uxin Limited, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for your continued interest and support. It is my pleasure to share with you our key achievements over the past year, along with our strategic insights and outlook for the future.

 

2024 was a challenging year for the broader Chinese economy, marked by ongoing macroeconomic headwinds and an intense price war in the new car segment that weighed on the used-car market. Despite these pressures, China’s used-car industry continued its upward trajectory. During 2024, China’s used car annual transaction volume reached 19.6 million units, up 6.5% year-over-year, outpacing the 4.5% growth rate of the new car market during the same period. Policy tailwinds also played a supportive role. Beginning in September, a number of local governments introduced trade-in subsidy programs, which helped stimulate vehicle turnover that in turn stabilized and revived market demand.

 

We are especially proud of the strong performance of our superstores’ operations in 2024. This success further validates the scalability and replicability of our business model. In the sections that follow, I will outline four key milestones that reflect our progress.

 

First, fueled by our industry-leading product and service capabilities, Uxin’s used-car retail business delivered growth that significantly outperformed the broader market. In 2024, our retail transaction volume rose from approximately 3,100 units in the first quarter to 8,500 units in the fourth quarter, achieving over 30% quarter-over-quarter growth for three consecutive quarters. For the full year, retail transaction volume reached nearly 22,000 units, representing a year-over-year increase of more than 130%.

This remarkable growth was underpinned by enhanced operational execution across our business. We scaled our inventory levels in a disciplined manner, ending the year with stock roughly three times higher than at the start of 2024. At the same time, we maintained an efficient inventory turnover cycle of approximately 30 days, which supported sustained sales growth.

 

Second, as we scaled our operations, we also continued to strengthen brand equity and customer loyalty in the core markets where our superstores operate. We actively collected and analyzed customer feedback to refine our after-sales service processes, improving response times and elevating service quality. As a result, our Net Promoter Score reached 65 in the fourth quarter, up from an average of 60 in the prior year, further reinforcing our position as a trusted leader in China’s used-car retail landscape.

 

At the same time, we continue to strengthen our digital capabilities, leveraging data to build intelligent, technology-driven decision-making across every aspect of our operations. Recently, we began integrating large language models into our business processes to further enhance efficiency in areas such as pricing, vehicle reconditioning, and customer acquisition. The use of digital technologies is enabling greater standardization and scalability across our platform, laying a solid foundation for the large-scale replication and expansion of our superstore model.

 

Lastly, our financial position continues to strengthen. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we delivered positive adjusted EBITDA for the first time on a quarterly basis. As our sales volume grows, we are starting to achieve meaningful economies of scale. Our gross margin has improved from 4.8% in the fourth quarter of 2023 to 7.0% in the same period of 2024. With additional superstores coming online and our business scale expanding, we are confident in our ability to deliver sustainable and growing profitability in the quarters and years ahead.

 

Looking ahead to 2025, we will continue to build on the foundation of our large-scale superstore model, executing a disciplined regional expansion strategy to further scale our operations and drive profitability.

 

First, we aim to unlock additional capacity at our existing superstores and increase our market share in their respective cities. Currently, both our Xi’an and Hefei superstores are operating at less than 50% of their full capacity. In 2025, we plan to continue ramping up inventory at these locations while maintaining efficient turnover cycles to support sustained growth in retail volume.

 

Second, we plan to open between two to four new superstores in key regional markets while strengthening our integrated online-offline retail ecosystem. As previously disclosed, Uxin has entered into partnerships with local governments in Wuhan and Zhengzhou to establish new superstore operations. Both cities have populations exceeding 12 million and vehicle ownership bases of over 5 million units, representing highly ideal markets for expansion. Our Wuhan superstore began trial operations in February 2025, and our Zhengzhou superstore is on track to open in the second half of the year. In parallel, we are actively identifying and preparing additional locations to support new store launches in the coming years.

Third, for our full-year operational targets in 2025, we aim to achieve another year of over 100% growth in retail transaction volume and to deliver our first full-year positive adjusted EBITDA. As we pursue expansion, we remain committed to maintaining the long-term health of our financial position.

 

China’s car ownership has now surpassed 350 million vehicles. As an increasing number of these vehicles enter the secondary market, the trillion-RMB used-car sector is expected to maintain strong growth momentum over the next 5 to 10 years. The sector is evolving toward a new phase of growth, defined by brand-oriented, large-scale, and standardized development.

 

As a pioneer and leader in China’s used-car industry, Uxin is well-positioned to lead this transformation. Through our modernized retail experience, professional vehicle reconditioning capabilities, and a highly efficient, data-driven operating model, we are setting new benchmarks for the sector’s advancement. We remain fully committed to delivering the best used-car products and services to our customers, and to generating long-term value for our shareholders, many of whom have supported us through every phase of our journey.

 

Kun Dai

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Uxin

Importantly, for the first time, we generated positive adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter, marking a pivotal milestone that demonstrates the scalability of our superstore model.”

 

Mr. Lin continued, “We also closed several previously announced financing transactions that materially strengthened our liquidity, enabling us to deepen inventory and sustain rapid growth.

The increases in retail vehicle sales revenue were mainly due to the increase in retail transaction volume. By offering superior products and services, the Company’s superstores have built strong customer trust and established Uxin as the leading brand in regional markets, leading to a high in-store customer conversion rate.

Total revenues were RMB1,814.4 million (US$248.6 million) for the full year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 29.7% from RMB1,399.4 million in the prior year. The increase was mainly due to the increase in retail vehicle sales revenue.

For the full year ended December 31, 2024, retail transaction volume was 21,773 units, an increase of 133.8% from 9,314 units in the prior year. The increase in retail vehicle sales revenue was mainly due to the increase in retail transaction volume.

General and administrative expenses were RMB198.9 million (US$27.2 million) for the full year ended December 31, 2024, representing an increase of 41.7% from RMB140.4 million in the prior year.

Interest expenses were RMB93.0 million (US$12.7 million) for the full year ended December 31, 2024, representing an increase of 110.0% from RMB44.3 million in the prior year. The increase was mainly due to the increase in interest expenses on finance lease liabilities relating to the lease of Hefei Superstore in September 2023.

 

Fair value impact of the issuance of senior convertible preferred shares was nil for the full year ended December 31, 2024, compared to a fair value loss of RMB11.3 million in the same period last year, which was related to the fair value change of the warrants issued in relation to the senior convertible preferred shares.

Liquidity

 

The Company has incurred net losses since inception. For the full year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred net loss of RMB342.1 million and had operating cash outflow of RMB250.3 million. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit in the amount of RMB19.6 billion, its current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately RMB422.6 million, the Company’s cash balance was RMB25.1 million. These adverse conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, before consideration of management’s plan.

 

Therefore, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the effective implementation of management’s plan to mitigate these conditions and events. A summary of management’s plan includes:

 

As of the date of the issuance of this release, the Company is entitled to a consideration receivable of US$9.4 million due from NIO Capital for the issuance of its senior convertible preferred shares, which had been converted into ordinary shares in March 2024. Based on the arrangement with NIO Capital, management expects to receive the outstanding consideration no later than June 30, 2025.

 

On March 4, 2025, the Company entered into a share subscription agreement with Fame Dragon Global Limited (“Fame Dragon”), an investment vehicle of NIO Capital, pursuant to which Fame Dragon agreed to purchase 5,738,268,233 Class A Ordinary Shares for a total consideration of US$27,876,506. As of the date of the issuance of this release, the Company has received US$19.0 million and issued 3,911,092,516 Class A Ordinary Shares to Fame Dragon and entities designated by Fame Dragon. Based on the arrangement with NIO Capital, management expects to complete the closing of the remaining subscription at the consideration of US$ 8.8 million no later than June 30, 2025.

In April 2025, the Company consummated the issuance of ordinary shares to Lightwind Global Limited, an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of Dida Inc., with the total consideration of U.S. dollar equivalent of RMB53.4 million.

 

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding borrowings of RMB126.3 million under the inventory-pledged financing facility agreements with certain reputable banks and financial institutions in the PRC, and unused facilities amounted to RMB253.7 million. These facility agreements will mature within one year since the date of the issuance of this release. Management plans to obtain renewals of such facilities when they become mature.

 

Pursuant to an equity investment agreement entered into in September 2023 with Hefei Construction Investment North City Industrial Investment Co., Ltd. (“HCI”), which is also the lessor of the Company’s used car retail superstore operated by Uxin Hefei, HCI is obligated to reinvest in Uxin Hefei after Uxin Hefei makes the annual lease payments over a 10-year lease period. In October 2023 and April 2025 respectively, Uxin Hefei and HCI mutually agreed that the first-year and second-year rentals of approximately RMB147.1 million and RMB127.7 million were converted into the investment of approximately 12.02% and 8.40% equity interests in Uxin Hefei by HCI. The third-year rental will become due in September 2025 and management plans to further agree with HCI to convert the third-year rental instalments into HCI’s investment.

 

In 2024, the Company entered into two equity investment agreements with the non-controlling shareholders of two subsidiaries of the Company established in Zhengzhou and Wuhan for the future operations of its superstores in Zhengzhou and Wuhan. Pursuant to these agreements, management plans to receive capital contributions of RMB50.0 million and RMB33.3 million committed by the two non-controlling shareholders following the Company’s capital contributions of RMB120.0 million and RMB66.7 million to these two subsidiaries, respectively, within one year since the date of the issuance of this release. As of the date of the issuance of this release, the Company has made contributions of RMB14.0 million to the subsidiary in Wuhan and received RMB14.0 million from its non-controlling shareholder.

 

With funds from the above equity and debt financings, management plans to grow the Company’s vehicle sales revenue by increasing the sales volume, improve the Company’s gross profit margin by increasing the value-added services offered to its customers, and maintain vehicle turnover rate by managing reasonable vehicle prices. Management’s plan also contemplates that, in view of the uncertainties surrounding the implementation of the above equity and debt financings plans, management will, if and when necessary, make adjustments to the Company’s operation scale by adjusting vehicle purchase volume based on its liquidity position, and also to optimize the Company’s cost structure to reduce the expenses such as labor costs, advertising expenses and certain administrative expenses according to the Company’s operation scale.

 

Management has concluded that it is probable to effectively implement the above plan, and has prepared a cash flows forecast covering a period of not less than twelve months from the date of this release after considering the effective implementation of management’s plan. Management concluded that as result of its evaluation, management’s plan has alleviated the substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and the Company’s current cash and cash equivalents, funds from the planned equity and debt financings and the cash flows from operations are sufficient for the Company to meet its anticipated working capital requirements and other capital commitments and the Company will be able to meet its payment obligations when liabilities that fall due within the next twelve months from the date of this release. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Launch of Wuhan Superstore

 

In October 2024, Uxin entered into an agreement with the Wuhan municipal government to establish a new superstore (“Wuhan Superstore”), which began trial operations in February 2025. The Wuhan Superstore spans approximately 143,000 square meters and includes a reconditioning facility capable of inspecting and reconditioning up to 60,000 vehicles annually at full capacity, alongside a showroom that can display up to 5,000 vehicles. Wuhan, a major city in central China, has approximately 14 million residents and around 4 million registered vehicles.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses certain non-GAAP measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss from operations per share – basic and diluted, as supplemental measures to review and assess its 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. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding share-based compensation, fair value impact of the issuance of senior convertible preferred shares, foreign exchange (losses)/gain, other income/(expenses), dividend from long-term investment, structure realignment cost which was mainly severance cost, equity in income of affiliates and dividend from long-term investment, and net gain from extinguishment of debt. The Company defines adjusted net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders per share – basic and diluted as net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders per share excluding impact of share-based compensation, fair value impact of the issuance of senior convertible preferred shares, deemed dividend to preferred shareholders due to triggering of a down round feature and accretion on redeemable non-controlling interests. The Company presents the non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by the management to evaluate the operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company also believes that the use of the non-GAAP measures facilitate investors’ assessment of its operating performance as this measure excludes certain finance or non-cash items that the Company does not believe directly reflect its core operations. The Company believe that excluding these items enables us to evaluate our performance period-over-period more effectively and relative to our competitors.

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. One of the key limitations of using Adjusted EBITDA is that it does not reflect all items of income and expenses that affect the Company’s operations. Share-based compensation, other income/(expenses) and foreign exchange (losses)/gain have been and may continue to be incurred in the business. Further, the non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their 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 the Company’s performance. The Company encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

 

Reconciliations of Uxin’s non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure are included at the end of this press release.

(i) Current portion of long-term debt outstanding as of December 31, 2023 was pledged with the equity interest the Group holds in an investment. The long-term borrowing will be due in December 2024. In December 2023, the Group entered into a supplementary agreement with the borrower, mutually agreed that if the Group successfully disposes the investment pledged and pays the borrower cash proceeds of RMB240.0 million, the remaining principal and interests will be waived. In conjunction with the sale of investment transaction, the Group also entered into a financial advisory agreement with a third party financial advisor and a supplement agreement in which the Group will incur the advisory expense of RMB36.9 million upon the successful completion of the sale of investment. However, if the sale of investment transaction fails, the Group is still obligated to repay all the principal and interests under the original borrowing agreement. Given the uncertainty of the sale of investment, the Group did not account for the extinguishment of the borrowing as a result of a troubled debt restructuring until the completion of the sale of investment and settlement of the borrowing in April 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Group recognized the net gain from extinguishment of debt amounting to RMB35.2 million, which is the difference between the total amount of borrowing of RMB312.1 million derecognized (including principal of RMB292.0 million and interests of RMB20.1 million) and the aggregate amount of RMB240.0 million repaid and the advisory expense of RMB36.9 million as the direct cost incurred to complete the extinguishment.

 

(ii) On June 21, 2024, the Company entered into another supplemental agreement with WeBank which revised and extended the repayment schedule of the last two instalments of RMB30.0 million each due on June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024 respectively to the monthly repayments of RMB2.5 million for each month from December 2024 to November 2026. As a result of this modification, the Group classified the payables to Webank amounting to RMB27.2 million repayable after twelve months from December 31, 2024 as “Consideration payable to WeBank” in non-current liabilities.

 

(iii) Long-term borrowing from related party outstanding as of December 31, 2024 amounted to RMB53.9 million. On September 12, 2024, the Company’s Anhui subsidiary (“Uxin Anhui”) entered into a loan agreement with Pintu (Beijing) information Technology Co., Ltd. (“Pintu Beijing”), pursuant to which Pintu Beijing agreed to extend loan to Uxin Anhui in a principal amount of the RMB equivalent of US$7.5 million for a term of 18 months from the drawdown date unless other repayment schedule is negotiated and mutually agreed by Uxin Anhui and Pintu Beijing. The interest rate is 5.35% per annum within 12 months after the drawdown date, and 8% per annum after 12 months until the loan is repaid in full. The loan is guaranteed by Uxin’s Shaanxi subsidiary pursuant to a guarantee agreement entered on the same date. On September 13, 2024, Uxin Anhui made the drawdown of this loan, and the total RMB amount received was classified as “Long-term borrowings from related party” in non-current liabilities. Subsequently in November 2024, the Company entered into a Share Subscription Agreement with Lightwind Global Limited (“Lightwind”, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pintu Beijing). Pursuant to this agreement and subject to the fulfilment of specified conditions, Uxin agreed to allot and issue, while Lightwind agreed to subscribe for, a total of 1,543,845,204 Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company, with an aggregate subscription amount of US$7.5 million. When the specified conditions were fulfilled and a repayment schedule of the long-term loan of US$7.5 million was mutually agreed, Lightwind shall invest equivalent amount in the Company after Uxin Anhui repays the loan under the repayment schedule to Pintu Beijing. In substance, the Company issued a forward contract to Lightwind, as Lightwind is obligated to purchase the shares, and the Company is required to issue them upon the satisfaction of the closing conditions at the pre-agreed price and amount which shall be a deemed dividend to the forward contract holder recorded in the additional paid-in capital. In addition, given that this forward contract is considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and meet the requirement for equity classification, it was also classified under the Company’s equity and was initially measured at fair value amounting to RMB44.7million with no subsequent remeasurement.

 

In March 2025, a revised repayment schedule was mutually agreed by Uxin Anhui and Pintu Beijing. Subsequently, in March and April 2025, Uxin Anhui repaid the total amount of principal and interests, amounting to RMB55.0 million, to Pintu Beijing. Concurrently, Lightwind made an equivalent investment in the Company as the specified conditions for the investment had been fulfilled.
