NIU Reports Q1 2022, Top to bottom lines:
- Revenues were RMB 575.5 million, an increase of 5.1% year over year
- Gross margin was 19.1%, compared with 23.8% in the first quarter of last year
- Net loss was RMB 29.6 million, compared with net loss of RMB 5.4 million in the first quarter of last year
- Adjusted net loss (non-GAAP)1 was RMB 16.3 million, compared with adjusted net income of RMB 6.7 million in the first quarter of last year
- Basic and diluted net loss per ADS were both RMB 0.38 (US$ 0.06).
“Despite experiencing a challenging quarter with the supply chain shortage, logistic disruption, and volatile retail environment caused by the recent COVID outbreaks, we managed to achieve moderate growths of sales volume and revenues compared to the same period last year. While uncertainties in the China market continue in Q2 due to the COVID outbreaks, we are confident that our growth strategy to develop diversified product portfolio, including our new product offerings in micro-mobility segment, and our global market expansion plan, will help us weather through the temporary China market shortfalls, and well position the company to capture the post-pandemic rebounds in electric two-wheeler demand.”
Dr. Yan Li, Chief Executive Officer of the Company
Despite their strong numbers, the company does view the current market conditions, including the on-going COVID resurgence in China, as a risk that could cause a possible revenue decrease (year-over-year) of 15%, in the range of RMB 803 million to a stagnate RMB 945 million, representing no year-over-year change.
