First Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Revenues

Total revenues were RMB2,560.3 million (US$361.4 million), representing a decrease of 15.5% from RMB3,028.3 million in the same quarter of 2019.

Membership revenues were RMB815.6 million (US$115.1 million), a decrease of 16.9% from RMB982.0 million in the same quarter of 2019.

Online marketing services revenues were RMB1,595.4 million (US$225.2 million), a decrease of 17.8% from RMB1,940.9 million in the same quarter of 2019.

The decreases were mainly due to the adverse impact from the outbreak of COVID-19. To control the spread of COVID-19, the PRC government implemented a series of strict measures, including travel restrictions, quarantines, and a temporary shutdown of businesses which resulted in a decrease in activity level among paying business users. In particular, paying business users that require in-person meetings to conduct their business, including those in the secondary housing and rental real estate sector, used auto dealers, local service providers, and recruiters, have been adversely and materially affected by these interruptions and delayed business resumption. The Company's revenues are generated primarily from these paying business users, most of whom are small and medium-sized local businesses, and the outbreak of COVID-19 and subsequent prevention and control measures have adversely affected their business operations and financial conditions in the first quarter of 2020. As a result, the Company's revenues during the first quarter of 2020 declined significantly when compared with the same period in 2019.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues was RMB309.3 million (US$43.7 million), an increase of 4.2% from RMB296.9 million in the same quarter of 2019.

The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by increases in the costs associated with "Premium Home Services" (????), enhanced services that focus on partnering with high quality providers to further standardize their service quality and integrate service protection plans while establishing closed-loop transactions through the Company's platforms, and an increase in the costs of goods sold and services provided on the Zhuan Zhuan platform which were partially offset by a decrease in traffic acquisition cost paid to advertising union partners.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit was RMB2,251.0 million (US$317.7 million), a decrease of 17.6% from RMB2,731.4 million during the same quarter of 2019.

Gross margin was 87.9% in the first quarter of 2020, compared with 90.2% during the same quarter of 2019.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were RMB2,306.8 million (US$325.6 million), a decrease of 5.8% from RMB2,450.1 million in the same quarter of 2019.

Sales and marketing expenses in the first quarter of 2020 were RMB1,577.5 million (US$222.7 million), a decrease of 12.0% from RMB1,793.0 million in the same quarter of 2019.

Within sales and marketing expenses, advertising expenses in the first quarter of 2020 were RMB712.2 million (US$100.5 million), a decrease of 19.7% from RMB886.5 million in the same quarter of 2019 as a result of the spread of COVID-19 which caused a decrease in advertising activities.

Non-advertising sales and marketing expenses in the first quarter of 2020 were RMB865.3 million (US$122.1 million), a decrease of 4.5% from RMB906.5 million in the same quarter of 2019.

Non-advertising sales and marketing expenses include salaries and benefits, commissions and share-based compensation expenses for the Company's sales, sales support, customer service, marketing dealer management personnel, online and offline promotional expenses, and other operating expenses that are associated with sales and marketing activities.

Research and development expenses in the first quarter of 2020 were RMB497.0 million (US$70.1 million), essentially flat with RMB495.0 million in the same quarter of 2019.

General and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2020 were RMB232.4 million (US$32.8 million), an increase of 43.3% from RMB162.2 million in the same quarter of 2019. The increase was mainly due to the adoption of the current expected credit losses methodology in estimating allowances for credit losses in the first quarter of 2020.

Income/(Loss) from Operations

Loss from operations was RMB55.8 million (US$7.9 million) in the first quarter of 2020, compared with income from operations of RMB281.3 million in the same quarter of 2019.

Operating margin, defined as income/(loss) from operations divided by total revenues, was negative 2.2% in the first quarter of 2020, compared with 9.3% in the same quarter of 2019.

Non-GAAP income from operations was RMB144.0 million (US$20.3 million) in the first quarter of 2020, a decrease of 69.0% from RMB465.1 million in the same quarter of 2019.

Non-GAAP operating margin, defined as non-GAAP income from operations divided by total revenues, was 5.6% in the first quarter of 2020, compared with 15.4% in the same quarter of 2019.

Other Income/(Expenses), net

Net other income in the first quarter of 2020 was RMB1,680.7 million (US$237.2 million), compared with net other income of RMB554.3 million in the same quarter of 2019.

Net other income in the first quarter of 2020 was primarily comprised of a RMB2,654.8 million gain in share of results of equity investees and RMB30.9 million in tax refunds and other government subsidies, offset by RMB1,054.3 million in a net investment loss.

Share of results of equity investees in the first quarter of 2020 was mainly attributed to RMB2,683.2 million net gain pick-up from 58 Home, which was mainly due to the Company's proportionate share of one-time non-cash gain recognized by 58 Home for its deconsolidation of 58 Daojia Limited, a majority owned subsidiary of 58 Home, which was partially offset by the Company's proportionate share of net loss attributable to 58 Home's ordinary shareholders. 58 Home lost its control over 58 Daojia Limited and started to deconsolidate its financial statements when 58 Daojia Limited completed its Series B round of equity financing in February 2020, as certain Series B investors have substantive participating rights in the operational decision making of 58 Daojia Limited.

Net investment loss mainly included RMB683.3 million in impairment losses in long-term investments and RMB446.1 million losses in change in fair value of long-term investments and investments in convertible notes as the market value of certain fair value measured investments suffered downward adjustments in the first quarter of 2020.

There would have been net other expenses of RMB1,002.5 million (US$141.5 million) in the first quarter of 2020 if the RMB2,683.2 million net gain picked up from 58 Home was excluded.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, this press release presents non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to 58.com Inc. ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP net margin and non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share and per ADS by excluding share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, change in fair value of long-term investments and investments in convertible notes, share-based compensation expenses included in share of results of equity investees, income tax effects of above GAAP to non-GAAP reconciling items. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are important to help investors understand the Company's operating and financial performance, compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and assess the Company's core operating results, as they exclude certain expenses/gains that are not expected to result in cash payments/receipts. The use of the above non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations. Share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, non-cash gain or loss and income tax effects resulting from GAAP to non-GAAP reconciling items have been and will continue to be incurred in the future and are not reflected in the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures, but should be considered in the overall evaluation of the Company's results. The Company compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of its share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, change in fair value of long-term investments and investments in convertible notes, share-based compensation expenses included in share of results of equity investees, income tax effects of above GAAP to non-GAAP reconciling items, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is set forth at the end of this release.

               [6] Since the third quarter of
                2017, certain share-based awards
                with redemption features granted
                to the Company's employees were
                expected to be settled in cash and
                were classified as liabilities.
                The share-based compensation
                expenses recognized for this type
                of awards amounted to RMB4.4
                million, RMB4.7 million and RMB4.0
                million for the first and fourth
                quarter of 2019 and the first
                quarter of 2020, respectively,
                which were excluded from the GAAP
                to non-GAAP reconciliation
                accordingly.


               [7] The purpose of this
                reconciliation is to exclude the
                unrealized gain or loss relating
                to changes in fair value of long-
                term investments and investments
                in convertible notes. The amount
                of realization of any previously
                recognized unrealized gain or loss
                in a given period is also included
                in this line item so that the non-
                GAAP net income would only include
                cumulative realized gain or loss.


               [8] This is to exclude the income
                tax effects related to
                amortization of intangible assets
                resulting from business
                acquisitions and change in fair
                value of long-term investments
                and investments in convertible
                notes. Other GAAP to non-GAAP
                reconciling items have no income
                tax effect.
