CEO and CFO Comments

Mr. Ye Wangchun, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Office of OneConnect, commented, “OneConnect’s first set of results as a publicly traded company demonstrates the successful execution of our strategy. We added 252 premium customers in 2019, representing a surge of 114% from the prior year. The expansion in the premium pool marks a significant advancement in the adoption of our technology solutions by financial institutions. Recognition from third-party customers continued to rise, with revenue surging by over 107% year over year in 2019, much faster than the overall revenue growth of 65%. It’s an exceptional achievement and I’m very proud of our team’s efforts.”

Mr. Ye continued, “As we head into 2020, macro challenges remain. The outbreak of coronavirus is causing short-term disruptions, but over the long-term we are extremely optimistic. We believe awareness for online business management and cloud-based solutions will grow in the wake of these temporary hurdles. We have also witnessed a greater demand for digital transformation. OneConnect is well positioned to capture the massive market opportunity with its unique business model, full-stack solutions, cross-vertical coverage and cutting-edge TaaS platform. As China’s financial service industry continues to evolve, we strive to stay ahead of the curve, helping our clients to excel in an increasingly competitive and dynamic market.”

Mr. Jacky Lo, Chief Financial Officer of OneConnect, added, “Strong revenue aside, we also made a big step forward in profitability. Gross margin continued to improve by 5.4 percentage points year over year in 2019, as we further strengthened and diversified the product offerings. OneConnect has a simple mission, to help financial institutions generate business, manage risk and boost efficiency. The ability to provide these innovative technology and business solutions and to quickly respond to changes in the macro and regulatory environment is critical to long-term growth. This calls for continuous investment in R&D, the main reason why we incurred a loss on the bottom-line. But we have been keeping a diligent eye. R&D spending, as a percentage of revenue, went down in 2019. As a percentage of revenue, we achieved a second year of decline in selling and marketing, as well as general and administrative expenses. We are confident that the uptrend in gross margins will continue. Looking forward, we remain focused on stepping up interaction with premium customers while maintaining cost discipline and strengthening the operating leverage.”

Operational Highlights

  • Number of premium customers was 473 as of December 31, 2019, as compared to 221 in the prior year.
  • Revenue from premium customers increased to RMB1,306 million in 2019 from RMB865 million in 2018.
  • Retail loans processed was RMB91.2 billion, as compared with RMB40.0 billion in 2018.
  • SME loans processed was RMB39.1 billion, as opposed to RMB9.9 billion in 2018.
  • Number of fast claims checks was 5.0 million, as opposed to 1.2 million in 2018.

Use of Unaudited Non-IFRS Financial Measures

The unaudited consolidated financial information is prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Non-IFRS measures are used in gross profit and gross margin, adjusted to exclude non-cash items, which consist of amortization of intangible assets recognized in cost of revenue, depreciation of property and equipment recognized in cost of revenue, and share-based compensation expenses recognized in cost of revenue. OneConnect’s management regularly review non-IFRS gross profit and non-IFRS gross margin to assess the performance of our business. By excluding non-cash items, these financial metrics allow OneConnect’s management to evaluate the cash conversion of one dollar revenue on gross profit. OneConnect uses these non-IFRS financial to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. OneConnect believes that non-IFRS financial information, when taken collectively, is helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance, facilitates period-to-period comparisons of results of operations, and assists in comparisons with other companies, many of which use similar financial information. OneConnect also believes that presentation of the non-IFRS financial measures provides useful information to its investors regarding its results of operations because it allows investors greater transparency to the information used by OneConnect’s management in its financial and operational decision making so that investors can see through the eyes of the OneConnect’s management regarding important financial metrics that the management uses to run the business as well as allowing investors to better understand OneConnect’s performance. However, non-IFRS financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with IFRS, and may be different from similarly-titled non-IFRS measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-IFRS financial measure in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial measure prepared in accordance with IFRS. Whenever OneConnect uses a non-IFRS financial measure, a reconciliation is provided to the most closely applicable financial measure stated in accordance with IFRS. You are encouraged to review the related IFRS financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-IFRS financial measures to their most directly comparable IFRS financial measures. For more information on non-IFRS financial measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliations of IFRS and non-IFRS results (Unaudited)” set forth at the end of this press release.
