Senmiao Technology Announces Ride-Hailing Platform Operating Metrics for December 2022

Senmiao Technology Announces Ride-Hailing Platform Operating Metrics for December 2022

CHENGDU, China, Jan. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Senmiao Technology Limited ("Senmiao" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: AIHS), a financing and servicing company focused on the online ride-hailing industry in China as well as an operator of its own online ride-hailing platform, today announced the operating metrics for its proprietary online ride-hailing platform for the month of December 2022. In December 2022, Senmiao and its affiliates recorded approximately 0.7 million total completed orders, compared to approximately 0.8 million total orders completed in November 2022. The decrease was the result of a severe outbreak of COVID-19 cases in Senmiao's key city of Chengdu in mid-December, after the lifting of domestic restrictions as China stopped executing its zero-COVID policy.  

Numbers reported since August 2021 include the number of completed orders from Meituan's ride-hailing platform ("the Meituan platform") utilizing Senmiao's network of cars and drivers for a set monthly fee. Numbers reported since April 2022 include the number of completed orders from several other ride-hailing platforms in Chengdu (Xiehua, Anma and other platforms), under the same cooperation model as Meituan.

Since the launch of Senmiao's online ride-hailing platform in October 2020, nearly 20.8 million rides have been completed using its own platform. Over 5.2 million rides have been completed on the Meituan platform under Senmiao's partnership with Meituan since August 2021. Approximately 1.4 million rides have been completed on Xiehua, Anma and other platforms since April 2022. The number of drivers completing rides via all the platforms (known as Active Drivers) in December 2022 was 6,682, down approximately 4.8% from 7,019 in November 2022.

The table below presents approximate unaudited operating metrics of Senmiao and its affiliates' online ride-hailing platform since the launch in October 2020.

N/A

[1] Under the original model, orders come from partner platforms and are completed by Senmiao's own platform. A rider can search for taxi/ride-hailing services on Senmiao's partner platforms, which then provide the rider with options for online ride-sharing service providers, including Senmiao. If the rider selects Senmiao, the order will then be distributed to registered drivers on Senmiao's own platform for viewing and acceptance and then completed by Active Drivers. Senmiao earns commissions for each completed order based on a certain percentage of the value of the order.

[2] Under the new model, orders go through partner platforms but do not utilize Senmiao's own platform. Online ride-hailing requests and orders will be completed on the partner platforms utilizing Senmiao and its affiliates' network of cars and drivers for a set monthly fee. Starting from April 2022, the number includes orders completed on the Xiehua, Anma and other platforms, in addition to those completed on the Meituan platform since August 2021.
