Financial Highlights for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

 

Total revenues were RMB 516.2 million (USD 79.9 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2021, representing an increase of 202.2% compared with the total revenues of RMB 170.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

 

Gross profit was RMB 153.1 million (USD 23.7 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2021, representing an increase of 189.8% compared with our gross profit of RMB 52.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

 

Gross margin was 29.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared with a gross margin of 30.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

 

Income from operations was RMB 25.3 million (USD 3.9 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2021, representing an increase of 19.8% compared with income from operations of RMB 21.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

 

Net income was RMB 32.1 million (USD 5.0 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2021, representing an increase of 40.3% compared with net income of RMB 22.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

 

Shuo Shi, the Chief Executive and Operations Officer of the Company, commented, “We believe that the demand for holographic 3D vision in the semiconductor sector is growing rapidly, reflecting huge market potentials for the business. We started developing our semiconductor business since September 2020, and commenced resale of intelligent chips and provision of software solutions. Approximately 53.1% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were from our semiconductor business. Moreover, thanks to our accumulation of industry experience and driven by the development of holographic technology and the growth of market demand for holographic 3D vision solutions, our holographic augmented reality (“AR”) business has also experienced a rapid growth during the six months ended June 30, 2021, and the customer base of our holographic AR business has further increased to 298 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from 175 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. As a result of the foregoing, WiMi’s operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by approximately 202.2% compared with the same period in 2020. We are also pleased to have completed our third public offering of 11,173,335 units on March 24, 2021 at the public offering price of USD 7.50 per unit, with each unit consisting of one American depositary share (“ADS”) and four-tenths of a warrant to purchase one ADS at an exercise price of USD 8.60 per ADS, despite the volatile market. It is expected that WiMi will make full use of the emerging opportunities in the industry, further expand the application scenarios of holographic technology as well as further commercialize the applications of holographic AR technology. For the second half of 2021, with a stable economic environment, we are confident that WiMi can maintain a similar growth rate as that of the first half of 2021.”

 

Impact of COVID-19

 

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has spread rapidly to many parts of the world since early 2020. Despite the on-going COVID-19 pandemic and due to the effective control of the pandemic in China, we have resumed normal business operations since the second half of 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, our operations in China have not been materially and adversely impacted by the pandemic. During the same period, we have not encountered significant difficulties with respect to our collection of receivables, or experienced any material disruptions to our business operations. In the second quarter of 2021, COVID-19 resurgence with various variants, such as the delta variant, has affected Southeast Asia, where some vendors for our semiconductor business were located. This has impacted our supply of semiconductor products and our revenue from resale of semiconductor products.

 

Any potential impact on our results of operations will depend on, to a large extent, future development of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as measures taken by government authorities to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, which are beyond our control.

Results of Operations – Six months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2020

 

Revenues

 

Our breakdown of revenues by business segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively, is summarized below:

 

   For the Six Months Ended
June 30,
 
   2020   2021   2021   Variance 
   RMB   RMB   USD   % 
   (Unaudited)   (Unaudited)   (Unaudited)   (Unaudited) 
Revenues                
Holographic AR advertising   155,824,088    235,069,726    36,387,939    50.9

Our total revenues increased by RMB 345.4 million, or 202.2%, from RMB 170.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to RMB 516.2 million (USD 79.9 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily attributable to (i) an increase of RMB 79.2 million (USD 12.3 million) in revenue from our holographic AR advertising business, and (ii) an increase of RMB 274.0 million (USD 42.4 million) in our revenue from semiconductor business. Increases in our revenues were partially offset by a decrease of RMB 7.8 million (USD 1.2 million) in our revenue from holographic AR entertainment business.

 

Revenue from our holographic AR advertising business increased by RMB 79.2 million, or 50.9%, from RMB 155.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to RMB 235.1 million (USD 36.4 million) for six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to the overall increase in market demand of online advertising which led to an increase in the number of advertisers who became our customers. Number of holographic AR advertising customers serviced increased by 123 from 175 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to 298 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Average revenue per customer of our holographic AR advertising services, calculated as the result of revenues from our holographic AR advertising business for a given period divided by the number of holographic AR advertising customers serviced during the same period, decreased from approximately RMB 0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to approximately RMB 0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Our average revenue per customer decreased primarily because we priced our holographic AR advertising services for short-form videos at lower fee rates to maintain our competitive advantages in a highly competitive market.

 

Revenue from our holographic AR entertainment business decreased by RMB 7.8 million, or 52.0%, from RMB 15.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to RMB 7.2 million (USD 1.2 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Such a decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in revenue from our mixed reality (MR) software development and mobile games services in the six months ended June 30, 2021, which in turn was primarily due to (i) further intensified competition in the mobile gaming market, and (ii) the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, as a result of which fewer mobile games were developed on our platform during the six months ended June 30, 2021. We expect our revenue from holographic AR entertainment business to remain at a similar level for the second half of 2021. On August 30, 2021, the National Press and Publication Administration of the PRC issued a notice (the “Notice”), requiring that, among other things, companies that engage in the online games business may only offer people under the age of 18 access to online games from 8 pm to 9 pm on Fridays, weekends and official holidays, with no access permitted at other times. The Notice became effective on September 1, 2021. Our management expect that enforcement of the Notice may adversely affect our mobile game service business, which only contributed approximately 1.4% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

 

We began to generate revenues from our semiconductor business in September 2020. Revenue from our semiconductor business amounted to RMB 274.0 million (USD 42.4 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2021, including (i) revenues from the sales of semiconductor products and related accessories, and (ii) revenues from software development catering to our customers’ specific demands. We expect that our semiconductor business will experience a continuous growth in revenue, driving by an increasing demand for holographic 3D vision-related semiconductor application solutions. We plan to combine holographic 3D vision application scenarios with our existing semiconductor solutions to meet the market demand. We also plan to promote the adoption of holographic 3D vision technology in the semiconductor industry.

Our total cost of revenues increased by RMB 244.7 million, or 207.3 %, from RMB 118.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to RMB 362.7 million (USD 56.1 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

 

Our cost of revenues for holographic AR advertising business increased by RMB 8.8 million, or 7.7%, from RMB 114.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to RMB 123.6 million (USD 19.1 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Such an increase was generally in line with the increase in our revenue from holographic AR advertising business, as we improved our technologies to allow more advertisements to be placed without generating more internet traffic, thus reducing our channel costs and improving our cost-efficiency. As a result of the foregoing, among other things, gross margin for our holographic AR advertising business increased significantly from 26.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to 47.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. See “—Gross Profit.”

 

Our cost of revenues for holographic AR entertainment business decreased by RMB 2.7 million from RMB 3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to RMB 0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This was primarily due to the decrease in our MR software development cost. Cost of revenues for our holographic AR entertainment business primarily consists of cost incurred to maintain our gaming platform, while our revenue from mobile game services was presented on a net basis.

 

Our cost of revenues for semiconductor business was RMB 239.1 million (USD 37.0 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2021. We commenced our semiconductor business in September 2020 and did not recognize any cost of revenues for this segment during the first half of 2020. Cost of revenues for our semiconductor business includes costs of products sold and third-party software development costs. We expect that the cost of revenues of semiconductor business will grow in the second half of 2021, which is generally in line with our expectation that revenue from our semiconductor business will grow during the same period.

Gross margin (%)   30.9    29.6    29.6    189.8 

 

Our gross profit increased by RMB 100.2 million from RMB 52.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to RMB 153.1 million (USD 23.7 million) during the six months ended June 30, 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, our overall gross margin was 30.9% and 29.6%, respectively.

 

Our gross margin for holographic AR advertising business increased from 26.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to 47.4% for six months ended June 30, 2021. Such an increase was primarily attributable to our technological improvements during the same period which resulted in an improvement of our cost-efficiency. See “—Cost of Revenues.”

 

Our gross margin for holographic AR entertainment business increased from 78.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to 93.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This was primarily because we only recognized revenue from mobile game services, among our other holographic AR entertainment service offerings, for the six months ended June 30, 2021. As revenue from mobile game services was presented on a net basis due to the nature of the business, our cost of revenues and gross margin for holographic AR entertainment business was RMB 0.5 million and 93.3%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2021. See “—Cost of Revenues.”

 

5

 

 

Our gross margin for semiconductor business was 12.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, due to the relatively high cost incurred to purchase central processing units (“CPUs”). We expect that our gross margin for semiconductor business will remain at similar level due to purchases of CPUs during the second half of 2021.

 

Operating Expenses

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we incurred RMB 129.2 million (USD 20.0 million) in operating expenses, representing an increase of RMB 97.5 million, or 308.2%, from operating expenses of RMB 31.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to (i) operating expenses incurred in relation to the organic growth of our business, (ii) expansion of our semiconductor business and (iii) significant increases in research and development expenses.

 

Selling expenses increased by RMB 3.2 million, or 234.1%, from RMB 1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to RMB 4.6 million (USD 0.7 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in payroll expenses for our sales team, which in turn was primarily attributable to our new hires of sales staff to serve the growing demand of our services and products and to meet the demands of our newly-established and acquired subsidiaries during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Our selling expenses accounted for 0.8% and 0.9% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

 

General and administrative expenses increased by RMB 16.0 million, or 106.3%, from RMB 15.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to RMB 31.0 million (USD 4.8 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase primarily reflected (i) an increase in payroll expenses for our general and administrative team, related office operation expenses, and other expenses, which in turn was primarily due to an increase of our number of subsidiaries for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and (ii) an increase in professional fees, including audit fees, legal fees and other professional fees. Approximately 80.8% of the increase in our general and administrative expenses was due to expansion of our semiconductor business during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

 

Research and development expenses increased by RMB 70.9 million, or 463.6%, from RMB 15.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to RMB 86.1 million (USD 13.3 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was mainly due to (i) an increase in technical service expenses of RMB 69.5 million, as we continued to focus on developing our technological capabilities in order to maintain our competitive advantages in the holographic AR industry, and (ii) an increase in payroll expenses of RMB 2.0 million incurred in relation to our new hires of IT engineers, as we needed more IT engineers for the research and development of advanced holographic AR and related projects.

 

Stock compensation expenses increased by approximately RMB 6.1 million, or 100.0%, from nil for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to RMB 6.1 million (USD 0.9 million) for six month ended June 30, 2021. Stock compensation expenses increased significantly during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as we granted stock-based awards to attract, retain and motivate high caliber employees, consultants and directors, who we deemed as essential to our success.

  

Other income (expenses), net

 

Our net other income was approximately RMB 2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to net other income of approximately RMB 5.9 million (USD 0.9 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

 

The increase in our net other income primarily reflected (i) an increase in our investment income from RMB 2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to RMB 4.5 million (USD 0.7 million) for same period in 2021, which was primarily attributable to the better performance of our investment in US equity market during the first half of 2021; and (ii) an increase in our interest income from RMB 0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to approximately RMB 2.4 million (USD 0.4 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2021, which was primarily attributable to an increase in our time deposits during the same period. Such increases were partially offset by an increase in our net finance expenses which primarily consist of interest expenses. Increase in our total interest expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily consisted an increase in interest expenses of RMB1.6 million incurred in relation to loans from Shanghai Junei Internet Co. from RMB 1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to RMB 2.9 million for same period in 2021.

 

(Provision for) benefit of income taxes

 

Our benefit of income taxes amounted to RMB 0.9 million (USD 0.1 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Our provision for income taxes amounted to RMB 1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Our income tax rate is low primarily because certain of our subsidiaries received various tax exemptions and favorable income tax treatment by PRC tax authorities.

 

Our benefit of deferred income tax increased by RMB 1.6 million from RMB 0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to RMB 1.7 million (USD 0.3 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as we incurred more amortization expenses due to the reversal of deferred tax liability from amortization of intangibles for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Our current provision for income tax decreased by RMB 0.3 million from RMB 1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to RMB 0.8 million (USD 0.1 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily because our taxable income decreased. Our income tax rate was low, primarily because certain of our subsidiaries were entitled to various tax exemptions and reduced income tax rate granted by PRC tax authorities. In addition, we were entitled to an additional deduction from pre-tax income which equals 75% of our eligible R&D expenses.

 

Net income

 

As a result of the combination of factors discussed above, our net income increased from RMB 22.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to RMB 32.1 million (USD 5.0 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

 

Net income attributable to WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc.
