Insights

The reported financials of Qudian Inc. reflect a significant downturn in their quarterly revenue, dropping from RMB160.1 million to RMB63.8 million year-over-year. This sharp decline is indicative of a contraction in the company's primary business operations. The net loss reported, both on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, marks a stark contrast to the net income reported in the previous year, highlighting a substantial shift in the company's profitability.

From an investment perspective, the reduction in revenue and swing to a net loss could signal underlying challenges within the company or sector-specific headwinds. The transition from a loan book business to a focus on smart last-mile delivery indicates a strategic pivot, which may be in response to regulatory changes or market saturation. Investors should monitor how this shift aligns with broader industry trends and the company's ability to execute on its new business model.

The full-year results, however, paint a slightly more positive picture with a return to net income. This suggests that despite a challenging quarter, the company has managed to end the year on a profitable note, potentially due to cost management or other strategic initiatives. The robust balance sheet, with substantial cash reserves, provides financial stability and could support future investments or weather further market volatility.

Qudian's pivot towards the smart last-mile delivery business represents an attempt to capture growth in a burgeoning sector. The revenue generated from this new venture in 2023, approximately RMB95.6 million, demonstrates initial traction, albeit within the context of the company's overall revenue decline. The last-mile delivery market is becoming increasingly competitive, with technology playing a key role in optimizing delivery efficiency and customer satisfaction.

The company's strategic agility, as referenced by CEO Min Luo, will be important in adapting to the fast-paced changes within the delivery industry. Investors should consider the competitive landscape, including existing and new entrants and how Qudian's technology differentiates itself. Furthermore, the company's commitment to cash management and maintaining a robust balance sheet is reassuring, but it remains to be seen how effectively this capital will be deployed to support sustainable growth in the smart last-mile delivery business.

The financial performance of Qudian Inc. can be influenced by macroeconomic factors, including consumer spending habits, regulatory environments and technological advancements. The significant downturn in revenue and the shift from a profitable to a loss-making quarter may reflect broader economic challenges, such as decreased consumer borrowing or increased competition.

However, the company's strategic decision to enter the smart last-mile delivery market could be a response to evolving economic conditions, leveraging the growth in e-commerce and the demand for efficient delivery solutions. The long-term success of this pivot will depend on the company's ability to scale its operations and maintain profitability amidst economic fluctuations. The strong cash position provides a buffer against economic downturns, enabling the company to invest in innovation and market expansion while managing risks.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use Non-GAAP net income/loss attributable to Qudian's shareholders, a Non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. We believe that Non-GAAP net income/loss attributable to Qudian's shareholders helps identify underlying trends in our business by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, which are non-cash charges, and convertible bonds buyback income, which is non-cash and non-recurring. We believe that Non-GAAP net income/loss attributable to Qudian's shareholders provides useful information about our operating results, enhances the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Non-GAAP net income/loss attributable to Qudian's shareholders is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This Non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and when assessing our operating performance, cash flows or our liquidity, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for net loss /income, cash flows provided by operating activities or other consolidated statements of operation and cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We mitigate these limitations by reconciling the Non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance.

For more information on this Non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" set forth at the end of this press release.
