CHENGDU, China, Aug. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Senmiao Technology Limited (NASDAQ: AIHS) ("Senmiao"), a provider of automobile transaction and related services and an operator of an online lending marketplace connecting Chinese investors with individual and small-to-medium-sized enterprise borrowers in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.
First Quarter of Fiscal 2020 Highlights

$125,026
-- Gross profit increased by 758% year-over-year to $1,072,128 from

"We had a great start to our fiscal year 2020 with a strong performance from our automobile transaction and related services business during the first quarter. Thanks to the Ruixi acquisition that gave us a unique opportunity to capitalize on the growing ride-sharing market in 2nd and 3rd tier cities in China, like Chengdu and Changsha, we are very pleased with the continued momentum in automobile transaction and related services," commented Xi Wen, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Senmiao. "With revenues more than doubled and turning a profit from the prior quarter, our automobile transaction and related services continued to drive the overall growth of both top- and bottom-lines of the Company and our strategic transformation from a single revenue stream online lending marketplace to a more diversified financial services company. We are optimistic about the growth prospects of our business and looking forward to improving financial performances in coming quarters."
Revenues
Total revenues were $5,094,440 for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $4,969,414, or 3,975% as compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to Senmiao's significant ramp up of its automobile transaction and related services business.
Revenue from automobile transaction and related services was $5,012,563, accounting for 98.4% of total revenue. This compares with $2,432,371 in the fourth quarter of the previous year when Senmiao commenced its automobile transaction and related services business in late November 2018.
Revenue from online lending services decreased by $43,149 during the quarter ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2018, as Senmiao continued to focus on its compliance review and did not actively seek to expand its online lending business. Revenue from online lending services accounted for 1.6% of total revenue, down from 100.0% a year ago.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues was $4,022,312 for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. Senmiao did not incur cost of revenues during the same period last year as it only provided online lending services which did not incur any cost of revenues.
Gross Profit
Gross profit was $1,072,128 for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to $125,026 during the same period last year mainly due to the increase in gross profit of $990,251 from automobile transaction and related services, partially offset by a decrease of $43,149 from online lending services.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,453,074 for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to $972,269 during the same period last year, an increase of 49.5%. The increase was attributable to the selling, general and administrative expenses of $573,692 incurred by the automobile transaction and related services.
Net Loss
Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 was $505,432, compared to a net loss of $930,364 during the same period last year.
Senmiao achieved a net income of $290,351 from its automobile transaction and related services and a net loss of $453,270 from its online lending services for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.
Financial Position
As of June 30, 2019, Senmiao had cash and cash equivalents of $5,438,125 as compared to $5,020,510 as of March 31, 2019.
Recent Developments
On June 21, 2019, Senmiao closed a registered direct public offering of common stock and warrants pursuant to its registration statement on Form S-3, as supplemented, for total gross proceeds of $6.0 million. The offering price of the shares sold in the offering was $3.38 per share. After deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses, the aggregate net proceeds received by Senmiao totaled approximately $5.1 million.
