Jianzhi Education Technology Group Company Limited Reports First Half 2022 Financial Results

BEIJING, Dec. 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jianzhi Education Technology Group Company Limited (the “Company” or “Jianzhi”) (NASDAQ: JZ), a leading provider of digital educational content in China, today announced its financial results for the first half of 2022.

  • Net revenues were RMB260.3 million ($38.8 million) for the first six months of 2022, compared to RMB276.4 million during the same period in 2021.

  • Gross profit was RMB40.0 million ($6.0 million) for the first six months of 2022, compared to RMB71.7 million during the same period in 2021.

  • Net loss for the first half 2022 was RMB2.9 million ($0.4 million) for the first six months of 2022, compared to net income of RMB43.8 million during the same period in 2021.

Yong Hu, CEO of the Company commented: “In the first half of 2022, our team worked relentlessly and managed to significantly scale up our business of IT related solution services via winning more projects as we continue to building our credentials in procurement and assembling of IT equipment. But our overall performance was affected by complying with local COVID-19 prevention and control policies that subjected some of our operations to on-and-off suspension, slowing down our topline growth. We dedicated and will continue to dedicate our efforts to ongoing innovations in the coming year, and focus on long-term value creation for the Company.”

First Six Months of 2022 Financial Results

Net revenues

Net revenues decreased by 5.8% from RMB276.4 million for the first half of 2021 to RMB260.3 million (US$38.8 million) for the first half of 2022. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of RMB72.8 million, or 40.9% in net revenues from the provision of educational content services and other services, and partially offset by an increase of RMB56.7 million, or 57.6% in revenue generated from IT related solution services.

  • Educational content service and other services.    Net revenue from the educational content service and other services decreased by RMB72.8 million from RMB178.1 million for the first half of 2021 to RMB105.3 million (US$15.7 million) for the first half of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to combined effects of (i) a decrease in revenues from Light Class, because one of our VIE’s subsidiaries did not offer Light Class to mobile users through China United Network Communications Group Company Limited (“China Unicom”) or Wechat during the first half of 2022. The Company has resumed offering Light Class since August 2022, and (ii) a decrease of revenues from redemption of reward points by mobile users and from Fish Learning. The decrease was primarily because one of our major customers, Telefen, was subject to a three-month lockdown policy in Shanghai. Accordingly Telefen provided free online products including Fish Learning to public, leading to dramatic decrease in our revenues.

  • IT related solution services.    Net revenue from IT related solution services increased by RMB56.7 million, or 57.6% from RMB98.4 million for the first half of 2021 to RMB155.0 million (US$23.1 million) for the first half of 2022, primarily attributable to net effects of (i) an increase in revenue from procurement and assembling of IT equipment as a result of increase in the number of procurement and assembling projects we completed in the first half of 2022, and higher contract value of the procurement and assembling projects we completed in the first half of 2022, against (ii) a decrease in revenue from design and development of customized IT system service, resulting from the fact that the Company placed more focus on the procurement and assembling of IT equipment projects with advanced cash from customers in 2021.

The following table sets forth the Company’s revenue by business segments for the years indicated:

  For the six months ended June 30,
  2021 2022
  RMB RMB US$
  (in millions)
Revenues:

Subtotal 98.4 155.0 23.1
Total revenues 276.4 260.3 38.8
       

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenue increased by 7.6% from RMB204.8 million for the first half of 2021 to RMB220.4 million (US$32.9 million) for the first half of 2022. The increase of cost of revenues was mainly caused by increase of revenues from procurement and assembling of IT equipment, which bears lower gross margin as compared with educational content services.

Gross profit

Gross profit decreased from RMB71.7 million for the first half of 2021 to RMB40.0 million (US$6.0 million) for the first half of 2022. Gross profit margin decreased from 25.9% for the first half of 2021 to 15.4% for the first half of 2022. The decrease was mainly due to the fact that (i) the gross profits margin for IT related solution services decreased for the first half of 2022, which was primarily because we completed more procurement and assembling equipment projects, for which we incurred significant equipment purchasing cost, resulting in relatively lower gross profit margin; and (ii) for the first half of 2022, revenues from educational content services decreased, while we continued to purchase new educational content to enrich current user’s experience and attract more customers with our comprehensive educational content library leading to a decrease in gross margin.

Operating expenses

The total operating expenses increased from RMB23.1 million for the first half of 2021 to RMB41.7 million (US$6.2 million) for the first half of 2022.

  • Sales and Marketing Expenses:   The sales and marketing expenses kept stable at RMB 4.1 million and RMB 4.1 million (US$0.6 million) for the first half of 2021 and 2022, respectively. This situation was mainly attributable to an increase in the service fee due to our continued efforts to further expand our user base in the first half 2022, partially net off against a decrease in payroll expenses because the Company cut 30% off on payroll expenses as affected by COVID-19 related measures, including quarantine and lockdown, reinstated by local government in the first half of 2022.

  • General and Administrative Expenses:   The general and administrative expenses decreased from RMB11.7 million for the first half of 2021 to RMB9.1 million (US$1.4 million) for the first half of 2022. This decrease was primarily due to (i) a decrease in the professional service expenses as we incurred higher audit fees during our process of IPO for the first half of 2021, and (ii) a decrease in payroll and welfare expenses because the Company cut 30% off on payroll expenses as affected by COVID-19 related measures, including quarantine and lockdown, reinstated by local government in the first half of 2022.

  • Research and Development Expenses:    The research and development expenses increased from RMB7.4 million for the first half of 2021 to RMB8.1 million (US$1.2 million) for the first half of 2022. This increase was mainly driven by an increase in the expenses incurred on outsourcing research and development projects.

  • Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill: Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill increased from RMB nil for the first half of 2021 to RMB 20.4 million (US$3.0 million). The increase was due to provision of the full impairment of RMB 12.7 million and RMB 7.7 million, respectively, against the customer relationship and goodwill acquired from the business combination with Guangzhou Xingzhiqiao Information Technology Co., Ltd. which generated RMB 0.1 million revenues from Light Class for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Income Tax Expenses

The income tax expenses decreased from RMB8.1 million for the first half of 2021 to RMB2.6 million (US$0.4 million) for the first half of 2022. The changes in income tax expenses for the first half of 2022 was primarily due to a change from a taxable profit for the first half of 2021 to a taxable loss for the same period of 2022, and adjustment non-deductible impairment of goodwill for the first half of 2022.

Net income (loss)

As a result of the foregoing, net income decreased from RMB43.8 million for the first half of 2021 to net loss of RMB2.9 million ($0.4 million) for the first half of 2022.

Recent Development

On August 30, 2022, the Company closed its initial public offering of 5,000,000 American Depositary Shares (the “ADS”), representing 10,000,000 ordinary shares, at a public offering price of US$5.00 per ADS for the total gross proceeds of $25 million. The ADSs began trading on August 26, 2022 on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol “JZ”.
