The increase was mainly driven by the increased amounts of both financing transactions the Company facilitated and car trading transactions.

•

The number of dealers covered by the Company was 48,487 as of December 31, 2020, compared to 46,248 as of September 30, 2020. The increase was mainly due to the expansion of 4S dealers and quality dealers in the lower-tier cities following the introduction of the Company’s competitive products.

Total revenues were RMB2,052.4 million (US$314.5 million), a 42.5% increase from RMB1,440.1 million in the full year of 2019.

Mr. Jiayuan Lin, Chief Executive Officer of Cango, commented, “It was a remarkable year for Cango despite the challenging environment due to the Covid-19 outbreak. Fueled by our mission to make car purchases simple and enjoyable, our ongoing efforts to build a one-stop platform that empowers all parties involved in the car transaction value chain has enabled us to navigate challenges and deliver solid results. During the fourth quarter, we achieved outstanding performance across the board including our automotive financing facilitation, car trading transactions and after-market services facilitation businesses. Fourth quarter total revenues came in at RMB1,097.4 million, exceeding the high end of our previous guidance by 46.3%. Robust returns from our investment in Li Auto are already contributing to strong growth in our bottom line, and our deep insights into sector trends make us optimistic about the automotive industry’s gradual but pervasive evolution toward new energy vehicles.

“The success we achieved in 2020 stems from our industry know-how and the strong platform we have worked so hard to build over the past decade. Benefitting from our strong foothold in the lower-tier markets, we have seen great synergies across our businesses. In particular, revenues from our car trading transactions business contributed approximately 50% of total revenues in the fourth quarter, becoming an important growth driver for us. With our platform, we aim to connect all participants in the automotive transaction value chain through our closed-loop services with customer experience at the core. During the fourth quarter, we also made significant strides to enhance our service capabilities in terms of traffic generation and operation, supply chain management, as well as technological capabilities.

“Looking back over the last 10 years since Cango was founded, we have grown our business with a passion, always looking toward the future and staying true to our original aspirations even as we weathered obstacles. Moving into the next decade, we believe our vast dealership network, efficient service platform, competitive technological advantages and industry expertise give us a unique edge which will not only benefit our customers by giving them a premium experience and enhanced, comprehensive offerings, but also help accelerate growth of the auto market in China.”

Mr. Yongyi Zhang, Chief Financial Officer of Cango, stated, “Our continuous and steady progress across businesses fueled our top line expansion in the fourth quarter. Total revenues grew to a record level of RMB1.1 billion, up 150.2% year-over-year. As we rolled out more initiatives to effectively optimize overall cost, our operating income maintained its robust growth momentum in the quarter, rising 68.6% year-over-year. With robust returns from our investment in Li Auto, we also expanded our profitability in the fourth quarter, growing net income by over 15 times to RMB1.6 billion. Looking ahead, we remain focused on executing our growth strategy and committed to investing selectively in growth opportunities across all our business lines.”

Definition of Overdue Ratios

The Company defines “M1+ overdue ratio” as (i) exposure at risk relating to financing transactions for which any installment payment is 30 to 179 calendar days past due as of a specified date, divided by (ii) exposure at risk relating to all financing transactions which remain outstanding as of such date, excluding amounts of outstanding principal that are 180 calendar days or more past due.

The Company defines “M3+ overdue ratio” as (i) exposure at risk relating to financing transactions for which any installment payment is 90 to 179 calendar days past due as of a specified date, divided by (ii) exposure at risk relating to all financing transactions which remain outstanding as of such date, excluding amounts of outstanding principal that are 180 calendar days or more past due.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measure

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses Non-GAAP adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, as a supplemental measure 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 Non-GAAP adjusted net income as net income excluding share-based compensation expenses. The Company presents the non-GAAP financial measure because it is used by the management to evaluate the operating performance and formulate business plans. Non-GAAP adjusted net income enables the management to assess the Company’s operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation expenses, which are non-cash charges. The Company also believes that the use of the non-GAAP measure facilitates investors’ assessment of its operating performance.

 

7

Non-GAAP adjusted net income is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using Non-GAAP adjusted net income is that it does not reflect all items of expense that affect the Company’s operations. Share-based compensation expenses have been and may continue to be incurred in the business and are not reflected in the presentation of Non-GAAP adjusted net income. 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. 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 Cango’s non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure are included at the end of this press release.
