Mr. Victor He, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Scienjoy, commented, “We concluded fiscal year 2021 with solid financial and operational results, which demonstrated the strong resilience of our business model. Focused on optimizing the livestreaming service ecosystem and executing a globalization strategy, we sustained our strategic efforts in content investment through our multiple live streaming channels to expand our offering and drive continued user growth, which is a critical step in meeting the evolving expectation of users and growing our business significantly. Also, the acquisition of Hongle.tv enhanced our market position in the talent show live streaming category and complimented our existing platforms. In addition, we remain committed to developing our live streaming metaverse with investment into research and development (R&D). The investment into technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR), and Virtual Reality (VR), and personnel in R&D was the strategic approach for Scienjoy to pave the way for the metaverse project as the goal of the Company to provide a more immersive experience to users and broadcasters and accelerate our business expansion. Looking forward, we are optimistic about the opportunities ahead of us, and we will continue to create value for our users, partners, and shareholders by propelling the sustainable growth of our ecosystem.”

The significant growth indicates the resilience of our business and the fulfillment of the strategic initiatives we made last year as we continued to invest in R&D, aiming to contribute to the development of metaverse live streaming. We have taken innovative approaches and made tremendous progress throughout the year, alongside our initiatives to enhance our operational and monetization efficiency. Looking to the year ahead, we will continue to deliver high-quality content, promote technological capabilities, and strengthen the relationships with users and broadcasters. We believe that our efforts and advantages will help us expand the user base and position us well for long-term profitable growth, further boosting our confidence to capture the significant domestic and overseas market opportunities.”

 

 

 

 

Fiscal Year 2021 Financial Results 

 

Total net revenues in fiscal year 2021 increased by 36.6% to RMB1,669.4 million (US$262.0 million) from RMB1,222.2 million in fiscal year 2020, because more quality content are provided through our integrated multiple live streaming platforms including Beelive platforms we acquired in September 2020 and our ARPPU in fiscal year 2021 increased by 46% comparing to fiscal year 2020, partially offset by decrease in number of paying users.

 

Cost of revenues in fiscal year 2021 increased by 42.2% to RMB1,364.9 million (US$214.2 million) from RMB959.9 million in fiscal year 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to a 42.4%, or RMB351.1 million, year-over-year increase in the Company’s revenue sharing fees and content costs, which was consistent with the 50.2% year-over-year increase in active broadcasters as well as the growth of the Company’s overall live streaming operations in fiscal year 2021. In addition, the Company incurred share based compensation of RMB6.2 million in fiscal year 2021 and no such expense incurred in fiscal year 2020.

 

Gross profit in fiscal year 2021 increased by 16.1% to RMB304.5 million (US$47.8 million) from RMB262.2 million in fiscal year 2020.

 

Total operating expenses in fiscal year 2021 increased to RMB138.5 million (US$21.7 million) from RMB67.5 million in fiscal year 2020. 

 

Sales and marketing expenses in fiscal year 2021 decreased by 52.5% to RMB4.8 million (US$0.8 million) as compared to RMB 10.1 million in fiscal year 2020. This decrease was mainly due to the additional promotional activities that the Company executed in fiscal year 2020 following an uptick in online user traffic as more users spent an increased amount of time online at home watching the Company’s live streaming content during the COVID-19 outbreak.

 

General and administrative expenses in fiscal year 2021 significantly increased to RMB65.2 million (US10.2 million) from RMB33.9 million in fiscal year 2020.The increase was primarily because we had a share based compensation of RMB12.0 million and higher employee salary and welfare and amortization of intangible assets as compared to fiscal year 2020.

 

Research and development expenses in fiscal year 2021 increased by 120.4% to RMB70.0 million (US$11.0 million) from RMB31.8 million in fiscal year 2020. The increase was due to higher R&D headcount and the Company had share based compensation of RMB13.9 million in fiscal year 2021.

 

Recovery of doubtful accounts in fiscal year 2021 was RMB1.6 million (US$0.3 million) as compared to a recovery of doubtful accounts of RMB8.3 million in fiscal year 2020

 

Income from operations in fiscal year 2021 decreased by 7.4% to RMB180.2 million (US$28.3 million) from RMB194.7 million in fiscal year 2020.

 

Change in fair value of contingent consideration in fiscal year 2021 increased by 138.7% to RMB33.6 million (US$5.3 million) from RMB14.1 million in fiscal year 2020. Change in fair value of contingent consideration is derived from the Company’s reverse recapitalization with Wealthbridge Acquisition Limited on May 7, 2020, and acquisition of BeeLive on August 10, 2020, which involved payments of future contingent consideration upon the achievement of certain financial performance targets and specific market price levels. Earn out liabilities are recorded for the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration on the merger date. The fair value of the contingent consideration is re-measured at each reporting period, and the change in fair value is recognized as either income or expense. 

 

Change in fair value of warrants liability in fiscal year 2021 increased by 320.6% to RMB16.4 million (US$2.6 million) from RMB3.9 million in fiscal year 2020. The Company’s warrants assumed from SPAC acquisition that have complex terms, such as a clause in which the warrant agreements contain a cash settlement provision whereby the holders could settle the warrants for cash upon a fundamental transaction that is considered outside of the control of management are considered to be a derivative that are recorded as a liability at fair value. The warrant derivative liability is adjusted to its fair value at the end of each reporting period, with the change being recorded as other expense or gain.

 

Change in fair value of investment in fiscal year 2021 amount to RMB22.8 million (US$3.6 million) In January 2021, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Scienjoy Inc., purchased from Cross Wealth Investment Holding Limited, an entity related to two directors of the Company, 606,061 ordinary shares of Goldenbridge Acquisition Limited (“Goldenbridge”) for an aggregated consideration of US$2 million. Goldenbridge was formed as a special purpose acquisition company. The investment was classified as investment in marketable security, which is adjusted to its fair value at the end of each reporting period, with the change being recorded as other expense or gain.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Adjusted net income is calculated as net income adjusted for change in fair value of contingent consideration, change in fair value of warrant liability and share based compensation. Adjusted basic and diluted net income per ordinary share is non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per ordinary share. The non-GAAP financial measures are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. As non-GAAP financial measures have material limitations as analytical metrics and may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-GAAP financial measures as a substitute for, or superior to, such metrics in accordance with US GAAP.

 

For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Results” near the end of this release.
