1  The U.S. dollars (US$) amounts disclosed in this press release, except for those transaction amounts that were actually settled in U.S. dollars, are presented solely for the convenience of the reader. The conversion of Renminbi (RMB) into U.S. dollars (US$) in this press release is based on the noon buying rate on December 31, 2019, as set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, which was RMB6.9618 to US$1.00. The percentages stated in this press release are calculated based on the Renminbi amounts.

 

2  Jupai’s non-GAAP financial measures are derived from adjusting the corresponding GAAP financial measures by excluding the effects of share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets resulted from business acquisitions, impairment loss of investment in affiliates and impairment loss of goodwill in the periods presented.

 

3  “Active clients” for a given period refers to clients who purchase wealth management products distributed by Jupai at least once during that given period.

“Our bottom-line performance showed further improvement over the fourth quarter of 2019, as our cost control measures continued to take effect,” said Mr. Jianda Ni, Jupai’s chairman of the board and chief executive officer. “However, our top-line performance for this quarter remained under pressure due to industry-wide headwinds. Although we started to see certain loosening of regulatory restrictions on privately-offered funds during the quarter, demand for wealth management products stayed weak as investors remain cautious on the overall market outlook for 2020.”

 

“Looking forward, we expect the market environment to be negatively affected by the coronavirus outbreak in the first quarter. We remain confident, however, in the long-term outlook for Jupai and for the overall wealth management industry, which has been reflected in our announcement of a US$10 million share repurchase program in late February. Jupai remains dedicated to executing on our core strategies of further strengthening our cost control efforts and increasing our operating efficiency, enhancing our product portfolio with differentiated products, and optimizing our risk control system and improving project transparency. We will also continue to seek potential growth opportunities from overseas business.”

 


4  “Assets under management” or “AUM” of Jupai refers to the amount of capital contributions made by investors to the funds managed by the Company, for which the Company is entitled to receive management fees. The amount of AUM of Jupai is recorded and carried based on the historical cost of the contributed assets instead of fair market value of assets for almost all AUM of Jupai. For assets denominated in currencies other than Renminbi, the AUM are translated into Renminbi upon their contribution, without interim value adjustments solely due to changes in foreign exchange rates. As a result, Jupai’s management fees for almost all its AUM are calculated based on the historical cost balance of the AUM.

Ms. Min Liu, Jupai’s chief financial officer, said, “Jupai achieved another sequential decline in operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2019, thanks to our continuous efforts in implementing cost control measures. Specifically, cost of revenues declined by 14% and G&A expenses were down by 33%. We expect to be able to further reduce costs in the coming quarters as we continue to enhance operating efficiencies.”

 

FULL YEAR 2019 FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

Net Revenues

 

Net revenues for the full year 2019 were RMB785.9 million (US$112.9 million), a 40.5% decrease from 2018, primarily due to decreases in one-time commissions, recurring management fees and other service fees.

 

·                      Net revenues from one-time commissions for the full year 2019 were RMB318.9 million (US$45.8 million), a 56.8% decrease from 2018, primarily as a result of a decrease in the aggregate value of wealth management products distributed by the Company.

 

·                      Net revenues from recurring management fees for the full year 2019 were RMB338.6 million (US$48.6 million), a 22.2% decrease from 2018, primarily due to the decrease in the value of assets under management. RMB156.9 million (US$22.0 million) and RMB61.6 million carried interest was recognized as part of Jupai’s recurring management fees for the full year 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

·                      Net revenues from recurring service fees for the full year 2019 were RMB114.5 million (US$16.5 million), a 78.0% increase from 2018, primarily because the Company provided ongoing services to more product suppliers. The Company recognized RMB2.1 million (US$0.3 million) and RMB0.3 million variable performance fees for the full year 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

·                      Net revenues from other service fees for the full year 2019 were RMB13.9 million (US$2.0 million), an 83.5% decrease from 2018, primarily due to a decrease in sub-advisory fees collected from other companies.

·                      Selling expenses for the full year 2019 were RMB206.8 million (US$29.7 million), a decrease of 31.8% from 2018, primarily due to the decrease in marketing and promotion expenses as a result of cost control.

DISCUSSION OF RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARD

 

Starting from January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes the lease accounting guidance under Topic 840, and generally requires lessees to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) assets on the balance sheet and to provide enhanced disclosures surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements. The Company adopted the new guidance using the modified retrospective transition approach by applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application and not restating comparative periods. The most significant impact was the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. The Company also elected the package of practical expedients, which among other things, does not require reassessment of lease classification.

 

DISCUSSION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company’s earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the effects of all forms of share-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets related to acquisition, impairment loss of investment in affiliates and impairment loss of goodwill in the periods presented. The reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest GAAP measures as set forth in the table captioned “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Results” below.

 

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The financial results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measure used by the Company may be prepared differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

 

When evaluating the Company’s operating performance in the periods presented, management reviewed non-GAAP net income results reflecting adjustments to exclude the impacts of share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets related to acquisition, impairment loss of investment in affiliates and impairment loss of goodwill in the periods presented, to supplement U.S. GAAP financial data. As such, the Company believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shares per diluted ADS and non-GAAP net margin attributable to ordinary shareholders provides important supplemental information to investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations in a manner consistent with that used by management. Pursuant to U.S. GAAP, the Company recognized significant amounts of expenses for the restricted shares, share options and amortization of intangible assets related to acquisition, impairment loss of investment in affiliates and impairment loss of goodwill in the periods presented. The Company utilized the non-GAAP financial results to make financial results comparable period to period and to better understand its historical business operations.
