Risk or Challenges
Gross Margin Pressure: Gross margin for the quarter declined to 5.2%, down from 6.4% a year ago and 7% in the prior quarter. This was primarily due to aggressive price competition in the new car segment, which exerted margin pressure on the used car market, and the early-stage ramp-up of the Wuhan superstore.

ASP Decline: The average selling price (ASP) for retail vehicles declined to RMB 59,000 from RMB 62,000 in the prior quarter and RMB 79,000 in the same period last year. This was due to a shift toward a more affordable inventory mix, which could impact revenue per unit.
Wholesale Business Decline: Wholesale transaction volume decreased by 19% year-over-year, and wholesale revenue was RMB 29.9 million, indicating challenges in this segment.

Key Q&A
Q:With new superstores opening at such a rapid pace, how do you balance short-term profitability pressures with your expansion needs? Will you need additional financing?
A:The rapid rollout of new superstores strengthens market presence and builds a nationwide sales network. Each new store is carefully planned to balance profitability and expansion. Short-term profitability pressures are mitigated by standardization, digital management upgrades, and efficiency improvements. Opening a new superstore costs $8-10 million, with a breakeven period of 2-3 years. Mature stores generate enough profit to support new ones. Incremental equity financing will support expansion over the next 2-3 years, and management is confident in raising sufficient capital due to consistent growth and improving capital markets.
Q:The Wuhan Super Store has ramped up successfully much faster than Hefei and Xi'an. What differentiation measures were taken in Wuhan?
A:The success in Wuhan is attributed to three factors: 1) A mature digital business management system refined over 4 years, including an intelligent pricing system powered by transaction data, improving efficiency in sourcing and sales. 2) Fully standardized business processes and experienced management, avoiding mistakes and accelerating execution. 3) A shorter talent development cycle, enabling each superstore to develop new management teams within 1-2 years. These factors ensure smoother and more efficient operations over time.
Q:How does management view the competitive landscape in Zhengzhou? Can the success in Wuhan be replicated there and in other new superstores?
A:Zhengzhou has an intense competitive environment with advanced dealers and a large market of over 13 million people and 5 million registered vehicles. Uxin's superstore model differentiates itself with broader selection, better value for money, higher quality assurance, and a convenient one-stop service experience. With a 40% purchase rate among visiting customer groups, the model resonates well with customers. Management is confident in replicating Wuhan's success in Zhengzhou and other cities due to mature business processes, digital systems, and favorable market conditions.
Q:Review of Unclear Management Responses
A:None of the questions were avoided or lacked clarity. All responses were detailed and addressed the questions directly.
