BEIJING, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Uxin Limited ("Uxin" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: UXIN), China's leading used car retailer, today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Highlights for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2026 Transaction volume was 21,899 units for the three months ended June 30, 2026, representing an increase of 20.3% from 18,211 units in the last quarter and an increase of 88.7% from 11,606 units in the same period last year. Retail transaction volume was 19,610 units, representing an increase of 18.6% from 16,530 units in the last quarter and an increase of 88.8% from 10,385 units in the same period last year. Total revenues were RMB1,151.2 million (US$169.7 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, representing an increase of 7.2% from RMB1,073.7 million in the last quarter and an increase of 74.9% from RMB658.3 million in the same period last year. Gross margin was -0.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with 7.0% in the last quarter and 5.2% in the same period last year. Loss from operations was RMB151.9 million (US$22.4 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with RMB66.6 million in the last quarter and RMB43.1 million in the same period last year. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA[1] was a loss of RMB119.8 million (US$17.7 million), compared with a loss of RMB34.3 million in the last quarter and a loss of RMB16.5 million in the same period last year. [1] This is a non-GAAP measure. We believe non-GAAP measures help investors and users of our financial information understand the effect of adjusting items on our selected reported results and provide alternate measurements of our performance, both in the current period and across periods. See our Financial Supplement, furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to our Current Report on Form 6-K on September 24, 2026 with the SEC, "Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP And Non-GAAP Results" for a reconciliation and additional information on non-GAAP measures. Mr. Kun Dai, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Uxin, commented, "Despite a sharp decline in used car prices during the second quarter of 2026, our retail transaction volume reached 19,610 vehicles, up 89% year over year and 19% sequentially. Our Net Promoter Score remained at 65 or above for the ninth consecutive quarter, maintaining our industry-leading customer satisfaction. In response to the market downturn, we moved quickly to sell through inventory affected by decreasing prices. While this put significant pressure on near-term profitability, it allowed us to realign our inventory more quickly with the new pricing environment." Mr. Dai continued, "Over the past several months, we have further strengthened our operations through this period of adjustment. Our pricing is more accurate, inventory turnover is significantly faster, and per-vehicle profitability continues to recover. With a more measured approach to inventory purchasing, we expect retail transaction volume of 20,500 to 21,000 vehicles in the third quarter. Our focus remains on improving store-level performance and overall operating efficiency to translate our growing scale into stronger profitability." Mr. Feng Lin, Chief Financial Officer of Uxin, stated, "Total revenue reached RMB1.15 billion in the second quarter, including RMB1.08 billion in retail vehicle sales revenue, which increased 78% year over year and approximately 7% sequentially. The rapid decline in automotive market prices, together with our decision to accelerate inventory sales, weighed on profitability. Gross margin declined to negative 0.7%, and our adjusted EBITDA loss was RMB120 million. We view the pressure on second-quarter profitability as largely a near-term consequence of the market's sharp price adjustment. With market volatility easing and our operating efficiency improving, we believe the business is back on track for healthy, long-term growth. We expect our overall gross margin to recover to above 6% for the third quarter." Financial Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2026 Total revenues were RMB1,151.2 million (US$169.7 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, representing an increase of 7.2% from RMB1,073.7 million in the last quarter and an increase of 74.9% from RMB658.3 million in the same period last year. The increases were mainly due to the increase in retail vehicle sales revenue. Retail vehicle sales revenue was RMB1,080.8 million (US$159.3 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, representing an increase of 6.5% from RMB1,015.0 million in the last quarter and an increase of 77.9% from RMB607.6 million in the same period last year. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, retail transaction volume was 19,610 units, representing an increase of 18.6% from 16,530 units last quarter and an increase of 88.8% from 10,385 units in the same period last year. The quarter-over-quarter increase in retail vehicle sales revenue was mainly due to the increase in retail transaction volume. The Company's new superstore in Tianjin commenced trial operations in March 2026 and saw rapid increases in both inventory levels and sales. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to the 88.8% increase in retail transaction volume, the rapid growth in sales volume was primarily driven by the Company's new superstores in Wuhan, Zhengzhou, Jinan and Tianjin, which commenced trial operations in February, September, December 2025 and March 2026, respectively. Wholesale vehicle sales revenue was RMB37.4 million (US$5.5 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with RMB27.9 million in the last quarter and RMB29.9 million in the same period last year. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, wholesale transaction volume was 2,289 units, representing an increase of 36.2% from 1,681 units last quarter and an increase of 87.5% from 1,221 units in the same period last year. Wholesale vehicle sales represent vehicles purchased by the Company from individuals that do not meet the Company's retail standards and are subsequently sold through online and offline channels. Other revenue was RMB33.0 million (US$4.9 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with RMB30.8 million in the last quarter and RMB20.8 million in the same period last year. Cost of revenues was RMB1,159.8 million (US$170.9 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with RMB998.6 million in the last quarter and RMB624.1 million in the same period last year. Gross margin was -0.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with 7.0% in the last quarter and 5.2% in the same period last year. The decreases in gross margin were mainly due to market conditions across the automotive industry, including: i) short‑term aggressive price reductions in the new‑car sector drove a rapid downturn in used‑vehicle market prices, which put substantial temporary pressure on the gross margin of the Company's existing used vehicle inventory; ii) rising oil prices suppressed customer demand for gasoline cars and increased inventory turnover pressure, which compressed the Company's gross margin. As market conditions began to stabilize and following the Company's new strategy for accelerating inventories turnover, the company entered a new steady and efficient procurement-to-sales cycle. The Company expects that its overall gross margin will gradually recover to above 6.0% in the third quarter of 2026. Total operating expenses were RMB145.3 million (US$21.4 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026. Total operating expenses excluding the impact of share-based compensation were RMB135.3 million. Sales and marketing expenses were RMB119.2 million (US$17.6 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, representing an increase of 3.0% from RMB115.8 million in the last quarter and an increase of 60.6% from RMB74.2 million in the same period last year. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly due to the increased marketing expenses for promotion activities. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to the increased employee compensation for the sales teams as a result of the increase in headcount. General and administrative expenses were RMB22.0 million (US$3.2 million) for the three months ended June 30 2026, representing a decrease of 6.0% from RMB23.4 million in the last quarter and an increase of 13.0% from RMB19.4 million in the same period last year. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly due to the reduction in compensation for personnel performing general and administrative functions. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to the increased employee compensation as a result of the increase in the number of superstores. Research and development expenses were RMB4.1 million (US$0.6 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, representing an increase of 40.4% from RMB2.9 million in the last quarter and an increase of 33.1% from RMB3.1 million in the same period last year. The increases were mainly due to the launch of new projects for R&D activities. Other operating income, net was RMB2.0 million (US$0.3 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with RMB0.5 million in the last quarter and RMB19.4 million in the same period last year. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to the decline of gains from derecognition of certain long-aged liabilities. Loss from operations was RMB151.9 million (US$22.4 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with RMB66.6 million in the last quarter and RMB43.1 million in the same period last year. Interest expenses were RMB25.0 million (US$3.7 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with RMB23.9 million in the last quarter and RMB23.1 million in the same period last year. Net loss from operations was net loss of RMB178.4 million (US$26.3 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with net loss of RMB91.6 million in the last quarter and net loss of RMB67.6 million in the same period last year. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was a loss of RMB119.8 million (US$17.7 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with a loss of RMB34.3 million in the last quarter and a loss of RMB16.5 million in the same period last year. Liquidity The Company has incurred net losses since inception. For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company incurred gross loss of RMB8.6 million, net loss of RMB178.4 million and operating cash outflow of RMB63.8 million. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had accumulated deficit in the amount of RMB20.1 billion, its current liabilities exceeded current assets by approximately RMB201.0 million, the Company's cash balance was RMB82.6 million. Based on the Company's liquidity assessment, which considers the plans to address these adverse conditions and events, including raising funds from planned equity and loan financings, growing vehicle sales volume and revenue by increasing the scale of vehicle purchase while maintaining vehicle inventory and working capital turnover by managing reasonable vehicle sale prices, improving gross profit margin by granular inventory management and promoting value-added services offered to customers, and also adjusting its operation scale if and when necessary, the Company believes that its current cash and cash equivalents and the cash flows from operating and financing activities are sufficient for the Company to meet its anticipated working capital requirements, other capital commitments and the Company will be able to meet its payment obligations when liabilities fall due within the next twelve months from the date of this release. Update on Equity Financing Transactions As of June 30, 2026, the Company had received proceeds in aggregate of US$15.0 million from parties designated by NIO Capital under the previously announced share subscription agreements dated December 26, 2025 (the "Share Subscription Agreements") in exchange for 1,573,976,915 Class A ordinary shares issued at a purchase price of US$0.00953 per share (equivalent to US$2.859 per American depositary share). These proceeds represent a portion of the US$20.0 million committed by affiliates of NIO Capital under the Share Subscription Agreements. Under the Share Subscription Agreements, affiliates of NIO Capital and Prestige Shine Group Limited committed to invest an aggregate of US$50.0 million in the Company. By the date of this announcement, the Company received additional proceeds of US$4.0 million from the entity designated by NIO Capital under previously announced equity financings with NIO Capital. Following receipt of these proceeds, a further US$4.0 million remains to be funded under the Share Subscription Agreements. The Company has also been informed by the party designated by NIO Capital that it expects to proceed with the closing of the remaining US$4.0 million investment in accordance with the terms of the Share Subscription Agreements at the agreed subscription price of US$2.859 per ADS, subject to applicable closing conditions.

The project will integrate a large-scale used car reconditioning facility with a one-stop retail experience, featuring a total capacity of more than 2,500 vehicles for display and sale.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses certain non-GAAP measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss from operations per share – basic and diluted, as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding share-based compensation, foreign exchange (losses)/gain, other income/(expenses) and equity in income of affiliates. The Company defines adjusted net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders per share – basic and diluted as net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders per share excluding the impact of share-based compensation, deemed dividend to preferred shareholders due to triggering of a down round feature and accretion on redeemable non-controlling interests. The Company presents the non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by the management to evaluate the operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company also believes that the use of the non-GAAP measures facilitates investors' assessment of its operating performance as these measures exclude certain finance or non-cash items that the Company does not believe directly reflect its core operations. The Company believes that excluding these items enables it to evaluate its performance period-over-period more effectively and relative to its competitors. The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using Adjusted EBITDA is that it does not reflect all items of income and expenses that affect the Company's operations. Share-based compensation, other income/(expenses) and foreign exchange (losses)/gain have been and may continue to be incurred in the business. Further, the non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance. The Company encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. Reconciliations of Uxin's non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures are included at the end of this press release. Exchange Rate Information This announcement contains translations of certain RMB amounts into U.S. dollars ("US$") at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader, except for those transaction amounts that were actually settled in U.S. dollars. Unless otherwise stated, all translations from RMB to US$ were made at the rate of RMB6.7851 to US$1.00, representing the index rate as of June 30, 2026 set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The Company makes no representation that the RMB or US$ amounts referred could be converted into US$ or RMB, as the case may be, at any particular rate or at all.

Q: Uxin has further shortened its inventory turnover from approximately 30 days to around 20 days. Could management discuss how you have been able to achieve such rapid turnover? Is this primarily the result of proactively reducing inventory in response to the current market environment? Or is this an operating level you expect to maintain over the long term?A: CFO Feng Lin attributed the improvement to two main factors: the application of AI across pricing, price adjustments, and risk alerts, which has enhanced pricing accuracy, coverage, and response speed; and deeper integration of end-to-end operating systems spanning inspection, reconditioning, inventory management, and CRM. He emphasized that faster turnover reduces price risk exposure and inventory impairment losses without sacrificing per-unit profitability, and allows the same inventory capital and workforce to support larger sales volumes. He stated that around 20 days is not a short-term defensive strategy but a core operating target the company intends to maintain over the long term. Q: The automotive market experienced a significant adjustment in the second quarter. Could management share what you have been seeing recently in terms of used car market conditions and the competitive landscape? How do you view the industry outlook for the remainder of 2026?A: CEO Kun Dai noted that overall auto consumption remains weak, with nationwide passenger vehicle retail sales down more than 20% year over year in both July and August, and ICE car retail sales down approximately 40%. Used car transactions declined 6% year over year in July and 11% in August. He believes the most severe price adjustment occurred in the second quarter and that conditions are gradually stabilizing. Industry consolidation continues, with nearly 30,000 used car dealerships exiting in the first half and an expected 50,000 to 60,000 exits for the full year, representing more than 20% of the industry. Uxin expects retail transaction volume to grow nearly 50% year over year in Q3, significantly outperforming the broader industry, and will adjust inventory procurement prudently based on market conditions. Q: The company previously announced a plan by the CEO to purchase additional company shares. Could management provide an update on the execution of this plan?A: CEO Kun Dai stated that given recent share price performance, he decided to use his own funds to purchase additional Uxin shares in the open market as a demonstration of confidence in the company's long-term value. An entity controlled by him established a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan on June 30 to purchase up to $5 million of ADS at a price of no more than $2.85 per ADS. Following the required 90-day cooling-off period, purchases will be eligible to begin on September 28, 2026, and will be carried out gradually in accordance with the pre-established plan and applicable securities trading rules. Q: What drove the decline in gross margin to negative 0.7% in the second quarter, and what is the outlook for margin recovery?A: CFO Feng Lin explained that rapid price adjustments in the second quarter, particularly for new ICE cars, directly impacted the gross margin of existing inventory, and the company proactively accelerated sell-through of affected cars. With the inventory reset now largely complete and turnover accelerating, per-unit profitability has recovered significantly since the beginning of the third quarter. The company expects overall gross margin to recover to above 6% in the third quarter. Q: What were the key financial results for the second quarter of 2026?A: CFO Feng Lin reported retail transaction volume of 19,610 units, up 89% year over year and 19% sequentially. Retail vehicle sales revenue totaled RMB1.08 billion, up 78% year over year and approximately 7% sequentially. Wholesale transaction volume was 2,289 units, up 88% year over year and 36% sequentially, with wholesale revenue of RMB37.4 million. Total revenue reached RMB1.51 billion, up 75% year over year and 7% sequentially. Adjusted EBITDA loss was RMB120 million, primarily reflecting the temporary impact of lower gross margin. Q: How has the average selling price (ASP) trended, and what is the outlook?A: CFO Feng Lin stated that the ASP of retail vehicles was RMB55,000 in the second quarter, compared with RMB59,000 in the same period last year and RMB61,000 in the previous quarter. While lower market prices drove the decline, rapid sales volume growth offset the impact. He noted that the current price range covers the car buying needs of the vast majority of mainstream consumers and that, as price volatility gradually eases, ASP is not expected to decline significantly from current levels and should remain relatively stable overall. Q: What is the company's guidance for the third quarter of 2026?A: CFO Feng Lin guided retail transaction volume of between 20,500 and 21,000 units, representing year-over-year growth of nearly 50%, with total revenue between RMB1.16 billion and RMB1.19 billion and gross margin recovering to above 6%. He added that as gross margin recovers and operating efficiency improves, profitability is expected to improve further. Q: What is the status of the company's recent financing activities?A: CFO Feng Lin provided an update, stating that the company recently received $4 million in investment proceeds from NIO Capital, with the closing of the remaining $4 million investment proceeding as planned. NIO Capital has confirmed it will proceed with the remaining investment at $2.86 per ADS. Meanwhile, Joy Capital is actively advancing the overseas direct investment (ODI) filing process for its investment in the company. Q: How is Uxin positioned relative to the broader used car industry consolidation?A: CEO Kun Dai stated that traditional operating models are rapidly losing ground as the industry shifts from a fragmented, non-standardized model toward a more scaled, standardized, and digitalized retail model. He believes the next two to three years will be a critical period for reshaping China's used car market, and Uxin will maintain its leading position. The company continues to strengthen core capabilities in vehicle pricing, inspection and reconditioning, inventory turnover, and customer service, while six new superstores in Yinchuan, Guangzhou, Wuxi, Chongqing, Shijiazhuang, and Shaoxing are under development. Q: What operational metrics demonstrate Uxin's outperformance in the second quarter?A: CEO Kun Dai highlighted that retail transaction volume reached 19,610 units, up 89% year over year and 19% sequentially, significantly outper For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.

Discovery Hurdle—Here's What Comes Next Chief Financial Officer John Lin said the company's retail average selling price fell to CNY55,000, compared with CNY59,000 a year earlier and CNY61,000 in the prior quarter. While lower vehicle prices reduced average selling prices, higher transaction volume offset part of that effect, he said. Uxin's wholesale volume was 2,289 units, up 88% year over year and 36% sequentially, producing wholesale revenue of CNY37.4 million. → Is the Fed Playing Chess With Rates—Or Just Behind the Curve Again? Uxin posted a gross margin of negative 0.7% in the second quarter, compared with 5.2% a year earlier and 7% in the first quarter. Lin attributed the decline to the rapid adjustment in auto prices and the company's decision to accelerate the sale of vehicles affected by those price movements. The company reported an adjusted EBITDA loss of CNY120 million, which Lin said primarily reflected the temporary pressure on gross margin. Sales and marketing expenses remained broadly stable despite expansion of the company's business and superstore network, he added. Management said the inventory reset is now largely complete. Uxin expects third-quarter gross margin to recover to above 6% as per-unit profitability improves and inventory turnover accelerates. Dai said Uxin's net promoter score remained at 68 during the quarter. He also pointed to continued investments in digital systems, including pricing, inspection, reconditioning, inventory management and customer relationship management tools. - Second-quarter retail volume: 19,610 vehicles, up 89% year over year. - Second-quarter total revenue: CNY1.151 billion, up 75% year over year. - Second-quarter gross margin: negative 0.7%, versus 7% in the prior quarter. - Second-quarter adjusted EBITDA loss: CNY120 million. Lin said inventory turnover was approximately 30 days in the second quarter, while the company has reduced turnover to about 20 days in recent months during the third quarter. Management attributed the improvement to AI-enabled tools used for pricing, price adjustments and risk alerts, as well as tighter integration across its operating systems. According to Lin, faster turnover reduces exposure to vehicle price declines and inventory impairment risk. He said Uxin views turnover of about 20 days as a long-term operating target rather than a temporary defensive measure, and expects it to support greater capital efficiency and operating leverage without sacrificing per-unit profitability. Dai said the company has validated its warehouse-style superstore model and plans to continue expanding its national footprint. Six new superstores in Yinchuan, Guangzhou, Wuxi, Chongqing, Shijiazhuang and Shaoxing are under development, while Uxin continues discussions with additional cities regarding new partnerships. For the third quarter, Uxin expects retail transaction volume of 20,500 to 21,000 units, representing nearly 50% year-over-year growth. The company forecast total revenue of CNY1.16 billion to CNY1.19 billion and gross margin above 6%. Management said it will maintain a cautious inventory procurement strategy given continued industry risks. Dai said nationwide used-car transactions fell 6% year over year in July and 11% in August, although management believes the most severe price adjustment occurred in the second quarter and conditions have begun to stabilize. The company expects industry consolidation to continue. Dai said nearly 30,000 brick-and-mortar used-car dealerships exited the market in the first half, and Uxin estimates that 50,000 to 60,000 dealerships could leave the industry for the full year. Separately, Lin said Uxin recently received $4 million in investment proceeds from NIO Capital. The remaining $4 million investment is proceeding as planned at $2.86 per American depositary share, while Joy Capital continues work on the overseas direct investment filing process for its investment. Dai also said an entity he controls established a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan on June 30 to purchase up to $5 million of Uxin ADSs at no more than $2.85 per ADS. Following the required cooling-off period, purchases under the plan may begin Sept. 28 and would be carried out gradually, subject to the plan and market-volume constraints. Uxin Limited (NASDAQ: UXIN) is a China-based used automobile retailer and e-commerce company.

FY2027 Q2 earnings call transcript
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by, and welcome to Uxin Earnings Conference Call for the Quarter Ended June 30th, 2026. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. After management's prepared remarks, there will be a Q&A session. Today's conference call is being recorded. If you have any objections, you may disconnect at this time.
I would now like to turn the call over to your host for today's conference call, Ms. Ally Wang. Please go ahead, Ally.
Thank you, operator. Hello, everyone. Welcome to Uxin's earnings conference call for the second quarter ended June 30th, 2026. On the call with me today, we have DK, our Founder and CEO, and John Lin, our CFO. DK will review business operations and company highlights, followed by John, who will discuss financials and guidance. They will both be available to answer your questions during the Q&A session that follows. Before we proceed, I would like to remind you that this call may contain forward-looking statements, which are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ from our current expectations. For detailed discussions of the risks and uncertainties, please refer to our filings with the SEC.
Now with that, I'll turn the call over to our CEO, DK. Please go ahead, sir.
[Non-English content]
Hello, everyone, and thank you for joining Uxin's earnings conference call today. It is a pleasure to reconnect with our investors through this call, and we appreciate your continued interest and support. I would like to begin with an overview of our operating performance this quarter, and then discuss some of the adjustments we have made in response to changing market conditions.
[Non-English content]
2026 has become a year of accelerated consolidation for China's automotive industry. The new car market has remained under pressure since the beginning of the year. In the second quarter, new passenger vehicle sales in China declined by more than 20% year-over-year, with internal combustion engine, or ICE, car sales down nearly 40%. By comparison, demand in the used car market has shown greater resilience, with nationwide used car transactions declining by only about 1.4% year-over-year in the second quarter. However, the rapid decline in new car prices, particularly for ICE cars, continued to flow through to the used car market, accelerating industry consolidation.
Nearly 30,000 brick-and-mortar used car dealerships exited the market during the first half of the year, and we expect 50,000-60,000 dealerships to exit for the full year, representing more than 20% of the industry.
[Non-English content]
Uxin significantly outperformed the broader market in the second quarter. Our retail transaction volume reached 19,610 units, up 89% year-over-year and 19% sequentially. Our Net Promoter Score, or NPS, remained at 68, continuing to rank among the highest in the industry. Price volatility during the second quarter had a temporary impact on our growth margin, and we proactively accelerated inventory adjustments and sell-through. Since the beginning of the third quarter, our per unit profitability has recovered rapidly, and we expect our overall growth margin to recover to above 6%.
[Non-English content]
Since the beginning of this year, we have also continued to advance the digitalization of our business while systematically upgrading our operations. As we accumulate more transaction data, our pricing system has improved significantly in pricing accuracy, coverage, and response time, enabling us to respond to market changes more quickly and accurately. These improvements in our pricing capabilities are also reflected in our operating efficiency. Our overall inventory turnover has now shortened from approximately 30 days to approximately 20 days.
[Non-English content]
We believe 2026 could mark the beginning of a new phase in the evolution of China's used car industry. Traditional operating models are rapidly losing ground, while the industry is gradually shifting from a fragmented and non-standardized model toward a more scaled, standardized, and digitalized retail model. We believe the next two to three years will be a critical period for the reshaping of China's used car market.
[Non-English content]
Throughout this transition, Uxin will continue to maintain its leading position. Over the past several years, we have validated our super store model and continued to strengthen our core operating capabilities across vehicle pricing, inspection and reconditioning, inventory turnover, and customer service. Today, we are able to maintain a rapid inventory turnover of approximately 20 days while achieving healthy per unit profitability. Sales volumes and operating efficiency at our existing super stores will continue to ramp up, while six new super stores in Yinchuan, Guangzhou, Wuxi, Chongqing, Shijiazhuang, and Shaoxing are currently under development.
At the same time, we are steadily advancing discussions with additional cities on new partnerships as we continue to expand our warehouse-style super store network nationwide.
[Non-English content]
Finally, I would like to share our outlook for the third quarter. Our inventory turnover and profitability have both returned to healthy levels. However, we believe risks in the automotive market remain elevated. We are therefore maintaining a prudent operating approach, placing greater emphasis on inventory turnover, per unit profitability, and capital efficiency. For the third quarter, we expect retail transaction volume to reach between 20,500 and 21,000 units, representing year-over-year growth of nearly 50%.
[Non-English content]
With that, I will turn the call over to our CFO to walk you through the financial results. John, please.
[Non-English content]
Thank you, DK. Hello everyone, I will now walk you through our financial performance.
[Non-English content]
In the second quarter, our retail transaction volume reached 19,610 units, up 89% year-over-year and 19% sequentially. Despite continued pressure across the broader automotive market, we maintained inventory turnover of approximately 30 days and delivered business growth well above industry levels.
[Non-English content]
Retail vehicle sales revenue totaled RMB 1.08 billion, up 78% year-over-year and approximately 7% sequentially. The average selling price, or ASP, of our retail vehicles was RMB 55,000, compared with RMB 59,000 in the same period last year and RMB 61,000 last quarter. While lower market prices resulted in a decline in ASP, the rapid growth in sales volume offset this impact. Our current price range covers the car buying needs of the vast majority of mainstream consumers. As price volatility in the automotive market gradually eases, we do not expect ASP to decline significantly from current levels and expect it to remain relatively stable overall.
[Non-English content]
Turning to our wholesale business. Our wholesale transaction volume was 2,289 units in the second quarter, up 88% year-over-year and 36% sequentially. Total wholesale revenue was RMB 37.4 million. Combining both retail and wholesale, total revenue for the quarter reached RMB 1.151 billion, up 75% year-over-year and 7% sequentially.
[Non-English content]
During the second quarter, auto prices, particularly prices for new ICE cars, underwent a rapid adjustment over a relatively short period, which had a direct impact on the gross margin of our existing inventory. We also proactively accelerated the sell through of cars affected by these price fluctuations. As a result, our gross margin fluctuated significantly during the quarter, reaching negative 0.7%, compared with 5.2% in the same period last year and 7% in the previous quarter.
[Non-English content]
With the earlier inventory reset now largely complete and inventory turnover further accelerating, we have achieved a more stable and efficient balance between procurement and sales. Since the beginning of the third quarter, our per unit profitability has recovered significantly, and we expect our overall gross margin to recover to above 6% in the third quarter.
[Non-English content]
Turning to expenses. We continue to maintain strict cost discipline. Despite the continued expansion of our business and superstore network, our sales and marketing expenses remained broadly stable during the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA loss was RMB 120 million, primarily reflecting the temporary impact of the lower growth margin.
[Non-English content]
Moving to our outlook for the third quarter. We are accelerating inventory turnover while maintaining a prudent inventory procurement strategy. We expect retail transaction volume to be between 20,500 and 21,000 units, with total revenue between RMB 1.16 billion and RMB 1.19 billion, and gross margin recovering to above 6%. As our gross margin recovers and operating efficiency improves, we expect our profitability to improve further.
[Non-English content]
Finally, I would like to provide an update on our financing. We recently received $4 million in investment proceeds from NIO Capital, and the closing of the remaining $4 million investment is proceeding as planned. NIO Capital has confirmed that it will proceed with the remaining investment at $2.86 per ADS. Meanwhile, Joy Capital is also actively advancing the overseas direct investment or ODI filing process for its investment in the company.
[Non-English content]
That concludes our prepared remarks for today. Thank you, everyone. Operator, we are now ready to begin the Q&A session.
We will now begin the question and answer session.
[Non-English content] We received three questions from investors. The first question is, Uxin has further shortened its inventory turnover from approximately 30 days to around 20 days. Could management discuss how you have been able to achieve such rapid turnover? Is this primarily the result of proactively reducing inventory in response to the current market environment, or is this an operating level you expect to maintain over the long term?
[Non-English content]
Thank you for the question. There are several factors behind our ability to shorten inventory turnover from approximately 30 days to around 20 days. First, we have been applying AI across our operations. A range of technology capabilities we have developed and upgraded are gradually being deployed across key areas such as pricing, price adjustments and risk alerts. The accuracy, coverage and response speed of our pricing capabilities have continued to improve, and we are already seeing a meaningful improvement in inventory turnover efficiency.
[Non-English content]
Second, we have further integrated our end-to-end operating systems. We continue to upgrade our core systems across inspection and reconditioning, inventory management and CRM, using technology to improve our assessment of car conditions, market demand, and customer needs, and to increase the efficiency of car matching and transactions. As these different parts of our operations become more closely connected, the overall efficiency from procurement through sales has also improved.
[Non-English content]
The longer a used car remains in inventory, the greater the price risk we assume. Faster turnover significantly reduces our risk exposure and helps limit inventory impairment losses when the market fluctuates. Therefore, when viewed across a full operating cycle, faster turnover does not come at the expense of per unit profitability. Instead, it helps us achieve more stable and healthier overall per unit profitability. At the same time, faster turnover allows the same amount of inventory capital and the same workforce to support a larger sales volume. As workforce and capital efficiency continue to improve, we also expect to unlock greater operating leverage.
[Non-English content]
For us, inventory turnover of around 20 days is not a short-term defensive strategy. It is a core operating target that we intend to maintain over the long term.
[Non-English content]
Thank you. That is my answer.
[Non-English content] The second question is, the automotive market experienced a significant adjustment in the second quarter. Could management share what you have been seeing recently in terms of used car market conditions and the competitive landscape? How do you view the industry outlook for the remainder of 2026?
[Non-English content]
Thank you for the question. Based on recent market performance, overall auto consumption remains relatively weak. Nationwide passenger vehicle retail sales declined by more than 20% year-over-year in both July and August, with ICE car retail sales down approximately 40%. This pressure has also carried over into the used car market. Nationwide used car transactions declined by 6% year-over-year in July and by 11% in August.
[Non-English content]
On pricing, we believe the most severe adjustment occurred in the second quarter. New car prices, particularly prices for ICE cars, declined rapidly over a relatively short period, which had a significant impact on used car prices. Since the beginning of the third quarter, the market has remained under some pressure, but we have not seen the kind of sharp monthly declines that occurred in the second quarter. Overall market conditions are gradually stabilizing.
[Non-English content]
At the same time, industry consolidation is continuing. Nearly 30,000 brick-and-mortar used car dealerships exited the market in the first half of this year, and we expect 50,000-60,000 dealerships to exit the market for the full year, representing more than 20% of the industry. We believe this market adjustment will accelerate the reshaping of the industry, with market share becoming increasingly concentrated among companies with scale, standardized operations, and digital capabilities.
[Non-English content]
For Uxin, this also creates an opportunity to gain market share. We have maintained a relatively prudent approach to inventory procurement in the third quarter while shortening inventory turnover to around 20 days. At the same time, we expect our retail transaction volume to continue growing by nearly 50% year-over-year, significantly outperforming the broader industry.
[Non-English content]
The fourth quarter is typically a peak season for the used car market. Our current view is that market volatility is unlikely to be as severe as it was in the second quarter, although risks remain. We will therefore adjust our inventory levels prudently based on market conditions. If prices stabilize further, we will accelerate inventory procurement; if volatility persists, we will continue to maintain rapid inventory turnover and drive sales growth through fast turnover and greater capital efficiency to reduce the impact of price fluctuations.
[Non-English content]
That's my answer.
[Non-English content] The third question is: the company previously announced a plan by the CEO to purchase additional company shares. Could management provide an update on the execution of this plan?
[Non-English content]
Thank you for the question. Over the past few years, we have validated our warehouse style superstore model and begun expanding our footprint nationwide. Our sales volume, operating efficiency, and core capabilities have all continued to improve. I believe the company is moving in the right direction. Given the recent performance of our share price I decided to use my own funds to purchase additional Uxin shares in the open market as a tangible demonstration of my confidence in the company's long-term value.
[Non-English content]
As previously announced, an entity controlled by me established a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan on June 30th to purchase up to $5 million of the company's ADS at a price of no more than $2.85 per ADS. Following the required 90-day cooling-off period, purchases under the plan will be eligible to begin on September 28th.
[Non-English content]
The timing and pace of purchases will be determined in accordance with the pre-established trading plan and will strictly comply with Rule 10b5-1 and other applicable securities trading rules. The actual amount that can be purchased on any given day will also be subject to factors such as the recent trading volume of the company's ADS. As a result, the purchases will be carried out gradually over time.
[Non-English content]
I remain highly confident in the company's long-term development. Through these purchases, I also hope to further align my personal interests with the long-term interests of the company and all of our shareholders.
[Non-English content]
That's my answer. Thank you.
This concludes our question and answer session. I would like to turn the conference back over to Ally Wang for any closing remarks.
Thank you again for joining today's call and for your continued support in Uxin. We look forward to speaking to you again soon.
The conference has now concluded. Thank you for attending today's presentation. You may now disconnect.

Q: How does the operating performance of newly opened superstores compare with the Xi'an superstore when it first opened? A: Feng Lin, Chief Financial Officer: The Xi'an Superstore, opened in December 2022, has matured with a peak monthly retail transaction volume of 2,700 units and profitability. New superstores like Wuhan and Zhengzhou have shorter ramp-up periods, achieving significant sales growth quickly, demonstrating that our model is scalable and replicable across different cities. Q: Could you provide more details on your store opening plans for this year, and would you consider slowing down if market conditions do not improve? A: Kun Dai, Chairman of the Board & Chief Executive Officer: We plan to open four to six new superstores in 2026, with projects in Tianjin, Chongqing, Shijiazhuang, Yinchuan, Wuxi, and Guangzhou. Despite market volatility, we will not change our long-term strategy of nationwide expansion. However, we may adjust the pace of new store openings based on market conditions, prioritizing cash efficiency and inventory turnover. Q: Are you seeing a similar trend in used car sales as the growing divergence between ICE vehicles and NEVs in the new car segment? A: Kun Dai, Chairman of the Board & Chief Executive Officer: While NEV sales have declined less severely than ICE vehicles, the used car market has not seen a significant increase in NEV share due to their low ownership percentage. The used car market is driven by pricing, and current market corrections indicate a maturing auto market in China. Q: How do you plan to manage the impact of market volatility on your expansion strategy? A: Ali Wong, Investor Relations: We will remain flexible and disciplined in execution, focusing on cash efficiency, inventory turnover, and store-level operating quality. Our expansion plan to open four to six new superstores this year remains unchanged, and we aim for over 100% year-over-year growth in retail transaction volume for 2026.

Total revenue reached RMB1.07 billion, up 113% year over year. In particular, our retail vehicle sales revenue was RMB1.01 billion, representing a 118% increase year over year. Gross margin was 7.0%, an improvement of 0.2% from the prior quarter. The non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss was RMB34.3 million for the first quarter, primarily reflecting the upfront investments associated with the ramp-up of new superstores and the continued build-out of our superstore teams. As our existing superstores continue to mature, we expect the operating leverage to improve over time, supporting continued growth in both revenue and profitability." Financial Results for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2026 Total revenues were RMB1,073.7 million (US$155.6 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2026, representing a decrease of 10.4% from RMB1,197.9 million in the last quarter and an increase of 112.9% from RMB504.2 million in the same period last year.

The Chinese New Year holiday lasted from February 15 to 23 in 2026, which is the traditional used car off-season. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to the increase in retail transaction volume by 119.1%, the rapid growth in sales volume was primarily driven by the Company's new superstores in Wuhan, Zhengzhou and Jinan, which commenced trial operations in February, September and December 2025, respectively. Additionally, our established superstores in Xi'an and Hefei continued to deliver robust growth. Wholesale vehicle sales revenue was RMB27.9 million (US$4.0 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with RMB38.2 million in the last quarter and RMB22.5 million in the same period last year.

The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly due to the decreased salaries for the sales teams. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to the increased employee compensation for the sales teams as a result of the increase in headcount. General and administrative expenses were RMB23.4 million (US$3.4 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2026, representing an increase of 2.7% from RMB22.8 million in the last quarter and an increase of 27.5% from RMB18.3 million in the same period last year.

Liquidity The Company has incurred net losses since inception. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company incurred net loss of RMB91.6 million. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had accumulated deficit in the amount of RMB20.0 billion, its current liabilities exceeded current assets by approximately RMB156.1 million, the Company's cash balance was RMB47.4 million. Based on the Company's liquidity assessment, which considers the plans to address these adverse conditions and events, including raising funds from planned equity and loan financings, growing vehicle sales volume and revenue by increasing the scale of vehicle purchase while maintaining vehicle inventory and working capital turnover by managing reasonable vehicle sale prices, improving gross profit margin by promoting value-added services offered to customers, and also adjusting its operation scale if and when necessary, the Company believes that its current cash and cash equivalents and the cash flows from operating and financing activities are sufficient for the Company to meet its anticipated working capital requirements, other capital commitments and the Company will be able to meet its payment obligations when liabilities fall due within the next twelve months from the date of this release. Recent Development Strategic Partnership with Shijiazhuang State-Owned Enterprise The Company has entered into an equity investment agreement with Hebei Chengying Investment Promotion Operation Co., Ltd.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses certain non-GAAP measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss from operations per share – basic and diluted, as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding share-based compensation, foreign exchange (losses)/gain, other income/(expenses), structure realignment cost which was mainly severance cost and equity in income of affiliates. The Company defines adjusted net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders per share – basic and diluted as net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders per share excluding impact of share-based compensation, deemed dividend to preferred shareholders due to triggering of a down round feature and accretion on redeemable non-controlling interests. The Company presents the non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by the management to evaluate the operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company also believes that the use of the non-GAAP measures facilitate investors' assessment of its operating performance as this measure excludes certain finance or non-cash items that the Company does not believe directly reflect its core operations. The Company believe that excluding these items enables us to evaluate our performance period-over-period more effectively and relative to our competitors. The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using Adjusted EBITDA is that it does not reflect all items of income and expenses that affect the Company's operations. Share-based compensation, other income/(expenses) and foreign exchange (losses)/gain have been and may continue to be incurred in the business. Further, the non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance. The Company encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. Reconciliations of Uxin's non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure are included at the end of this press release.

Total revenue, including retail and wholesale, reached CNY 1.074 billion, up 113% year over year and down 10% sequentially. Winn said gross margin for the quarter was 7%, compared with 6.8% in the prior quarter and 7% a year earlier. He said newly opened superstores generally have lower gross margins than mature locations, but the larger contribution from mature superstores helped keep overall gross margin stable. → Oil Could Dip, But These 3 Energy Stocks Still Look Built to Win Adjusted EBITDA loss was CNY 34.3 million, compared with a loss of CNY 27.2 million in the previous quarter. Winn said the sequential increase was mainly due to the Chinese New Year’s seasonal effect on sales volume. Compared with the same period last year, adjusted EBITDA loss increased by about CNY 25 million, which he attributed to newly opened superstores still being in early ramp-up stages and upfront staffing investments to support expansion. DK said China’s auto market has slowed since the start of 2026. He said cumulative new vehicle sales declined 20% year over year during the first five months, with internal combustion engine vehicle sales under greater pressure. In April and May, new ICE vehicle sales fell by more than 35% year over year, according to DK. He said used-car prices also adjusted significantly beginning in April, with prices of mainstream used ICE vehicles falling 10% to 15% within one to two months. DK said such market conditions raise the requirements for used-car retailers in pricing, inventory turnover, capital efficiency and risk management. Despite the pressure on profitability, DK said China’s used-car market recorded a 2% increase in transaction volume during the first five months of the year, outperforming the new-vehicle market. He said consumer acceptance of used cars continues to improve and that lower residual values for ICE vehicles could make used cars more attractive to buyers seeking value. In response to a question from Deutsche Bank’s Bin Wang about why price declines became more visible in the second quarter, Winn said the first-quarter used-car sales environment was broadly in line with expectations, while the sharper pressure appeared after ICE vehicle sales fell significantly in April and May. He said Uxin would prioritize healthy inventory turnover over short-term gross margin optimization, meaning second-quarter gross margin would face “greater pressure.” Winn added that new-car prices appeared to have stabilized since early June and that inventory affected by earlier price volatility was being gradually cleared. He said Uxin expects gross margin to improve meaningfully in the third quarter and potentially return to normal levels, provided ICE vehicle prices do not continue to fall significantly. DK said Uxin’s Tianjin superstore officially began operations in March, becoming the company’s first project in North China. He said the location can accommodate more than 3,000 vehicles for display and sales. With Tianjin, Uxin now operates six superstores nationwide. The company has also announced strategic partnerships with local governments in Chongqing and Shijiazhuang to jointly invest in and operate used-car superstores. During the question-and-answer session, DK said Uxin expects to open four to six new superstores in 2026. He said announced projects include Chongqing, Shijiazhuang, Yinchuan, Wuxi and Guangzhou, with some approaching trial operations and others in facility preparation, team building and inventory sourcing stages. DK said Uxin would not change its long-term nationwide expansion strategy because of short-term market volatility, but it would remain flexible in execution. If market conditions remain difficult, he said the company may take a more conservative approach to new store openings, inventory ramp-up and operating expenses, while prioritizing cash efficiency, inventory turnover and store-level operating quality. In response to a question from SWS Research’s Wenjie Dai, Winn said Uxin’s Xi’an superstore, which opened in December 2022, has reached a more mature stage. He said its monthly retail transaction volume peaked at 2,700 units last year, representing roughly 25% local market share, and that it has achieved store-level profitability. Winn said newer superstores are ramping faster than earlier locations. He said Wuhan, which opened in March 2025, exceeded 1,000 monthly retail transactions within about six months, while Zhengzhou, opened in September 2025, reached that level in about four months. He attributed the faster ramp to more mature procurement, pricing and inventory systems, standardized operations, stronger brand recognition and improved site selection. For the second quarter of 2026, Winn said Uxin expects retail transaction volume of 18,000 to 19,000 units, representing year-over-year growth of 73% to 83%. Total revenue is expected to range from CNY 1.05 billion to CNY 1.1 billion. DK reaffirmed the company’s target of achieving more than 100% year-over-year growth in retail transaction volume for full-year 2026. Responding to a question from CMS’s Xing Xing Li about differences between ICE vehicles and new-energy vehicles, DK said China’s passenger vehicle sales fell nearly 22% year over year in May, with ICE vehicle sales down 39% and NEV sales down 7.5%. He said NEV retail penetration exceeded 60%, but Uxin has not seen a meaningful increase in the share of NEVs in the used-car market because NEVs still account for less than 15% of China’s total vehicle ownership. DK said the current market correction represents a reset in residual values. He said the residual value of a three-year-old used vehicle in China, measured against current new-vehicle prices, has fallen from roughly 68% to 72% to about 58% to 60%, bringing it closer to levels in mature markets such as the United States, Europe and Japan.

FY2027 Q1 earnings call transcript
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by, and welcome to Uxin's earnings conference call for the quarter ended March 31st, 2026. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. After management's prepared remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session. Today's conference call is being recorded. If you have any objections, you may disconnect at this time. I would now like to turn the call over to your host for today's conference call, Ms. Ali Wong. Please go ahead, Ali.
Thank you, operator. Hello, everyone. Welcome to Uxin's earnings conference call for the first quarter ended March 31st, 2026. On the call with me today, we have D.K., our founder and CEO, and John Lin, our CFO. D.K. will review business operations and company highlights, followed by John, who will discuss financials and guidance.
They will both be available to answer your questions during the Q&A session that follows. Before we proceed, I would like to remind you that this call may contain forward-looking statements, which are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ from our current expectations. For detailed discussions of the risks and uncertainties, please refer to our filings with the SEC. With that, I'll turn the call over to our CEO, D.K. Please go ahead, sir.
[Non-English content]
Hello, everyone, and thank you for joining Uxin's earnings conference call today. It is a pleasure to reconnect with our investors through this call, and we appreciate your continued interest and support. To better facilitate communication with both our domestic and international investors, I will be sharing our latest business updates in both Chinese and English.
[Non-English content]
In the first quarter of 2026, our business continued its strong growth momentum. Despite the seasonal impact of the Chinese New Year holiday on used car sales, retail transaction volume reached 16,530 units, representing a 119% year-over-year increase. This marks the eighth consecutive quarter in which our retail transaction volume grew by more than 110% year-over-year. While sustaining rapid sales growth, we maintained inventory turnover at approximately 30 days, and gross margin was 7.7%, remaining stable overall compared with the previous quarter. Our net promoter score further improved to 68 during the quarter and remained above 65, continuing to rank among the highest in the industry.
[Non-English content]
The recent developments in China's automotive market have attracted considerable attention from investors, and I would like to share some of my observations. Since the beginning of 2026, China's auto market has indeed experienced a slowdown. Cumulative new vehicle sales declined by 20% year-over-year during the first five months, with internal combustion engine or ICE vehicle sales facing even greater pressure. In both April and May, new ICE vehicle sales fell by more than 35% year-over-year.
The used car market also saw significant price adjustments starting in April, with prices of mainstream used ICE vehicles declining by 10%-15% within one to two months. Under such market conditions, used car retailers must meet much higher requirements in pricing, inventory turnover, capital efficiency, and risk management.
[Non-English content]
Although declining vehicle prices have created short-term pressure on profitability, China's used car market still achieved a modest 2% increase in transaction volume during the first five months of the year, significantly outperforming the new vehicle market. Consumer acceptance of used cars in China continues to improve. In particular, following fluctuations in new car pricing and the rapid adjustment in residual values of ICE vehicles, high value for money used vehicles are expected to become even more attractive to consumers.
[Non-English content]
Looking at a longer term perspective, the United States experienced a similar cycle during the global financial crisis from 2007-2009. Cumulative new vehicle sales declined by roughly 35% during that period, and many new car dealerships and used car retailers went out of business. However, leading independent used car retailers emerged stronger from the downturn, delivering years of sustained growth in sales volume, profitability, and market share.
[Non-English content]
Therefore, we believe that industry adjustments often lead to a reshaping of the competitive landscape. Once the current volatility in China's automotive market eases, the country's large vehicle ownership base, the still low level of used car transactions relative to vehicle ownership compared with developed markets, and consumers' growing demand for affordable, high-quality vehicles will continue to support the long-term growth of the used car industry. We are highly confident that our superstore model, built over the past several years on disciplined inventory turnover, stringent quality control, and superior customer service, will further strengthen our competitive advantages during this period of industry adjustment, and position Uxin to emerge as the biggest winner from the transformation of China's used car retail industry.
[Non-English content]
In addition, our Tianjin superstore officially commenced operations in March. As our first project in North China, the superstore can accommodate more than 3,000 vehicles for display and sales. With the opening of the Tianjin superstore, we now operate six superstores nationwide. Furthermore, we recently announced strategic partnerships with the municipal governments of Chongqing and Shijiazhuang to jointly invest in and operate used car superstores. As our nationwide superstore network continues to expand, we expect our service coverage, regional synergy, and brand influence to further strengthen, reinforcing our leadership in China's used car retail market.
[Non-English content]
Looking ahead to the second quarter, we expect retail transaction volume to exceed 18,000 units, continuing our strong growth trajectory. At the same time, we reaffirm our target of achieving more than 100% year-over-year growth in retail transaction volume for the full year of 2026.
[Non-English content] John, please.
With that, I'll turn the call over to our CFO to walk you through the financial results. John, please.
Thank you D.K. [Non-English content]
Thank you D.K., and hello everyone. I will now walk you through our financial results for the quarter.
[Non-English content]
The first quarter is traditionally a slower season for used car sales due to the Chinese New Year holiday. Nevertheless, our business continued to deliver strong performance during the quarter. Retail transaction volume reached 16,530 units, representing a 119% year-over-year increase. Sales volume at our existing superstores continued to ramp up while new superstores gradually commenced operations. We expect our retail transaction volume to maintain a strong growth trajectory over the coming quarters.
[Non-English content]
Retail vehicle sales revenue totaled RMB 1.01 billion, up 118% year-over-year and down 10% sequentially. The significant increase in retail transaction volume was the primary driver of the year-over-year growth in retail revenue. The average selling price, or ASP, of retail vehicles was RMB 61,000, compared with RMB 59,000 in the previous quarter and RMB 62,000 in the same period last year, remaining generally stable.
[Non-English content]
Turning to our wholesale business. Our wholesale transaction volume was 1,681 units in the first quarter, representing a 134% year-over-year increase and a 32% decline sequentially. Total wholesale revenue was RMB 27.9 million. Combining both retail and wholesale, total revenue for the quarter reached RMB 1.074 billion, up 113% year-over-year and down 10% sequentially.
[Non-English content]
Gross margin for the quarter was 7%, remaining at a relatively stable level. This represented a 0.2 percentage point increase from 6.8% in the prior quarter, and remained consistent with 7% a year ago. In general, newly opened superstores naturally operate at lower gross margin levels than our more mature locations. However, the larger sales contribution from our mature superstores offset this impact and helped maintain a stable overall gross margin.
[Non-English content]
Adjusted EBITDA loss for the quarter was RMB 34.3 million, compared with RMB 27.2 million in the previous quarter. The sequential increase was primarily attributable to the seasonal impact of the Chinese New Year holiday on sales volume. Compared with the same period last year, adjusted EBITDA loss increased by roughly RMB 25 million, mainly because our newly opened superstores are still in the early stages of ramping up operations, and we also made upfront investments in staffing to support our future superstore expansion plans.
[Non-English content]
Looking ahead to the second quarter of 2026, we expect retail transaction volume to be between 18,000 and 19,000 units, representing year-over-year growth of 73%-83%. We expect total revenue, including retail vehicle sales revenue, wholesale vehicle sales revenue, and other revenue to be between RMB 1.05 billion and RMB 1.1 billion.
[Non-English content]
That concludes our prepared remarks for today. Thank you everyone. Operator, we're now ready to begin the Q&A session.
Thank you. To ask a question, please press star then one on your telephone keypad. If you are using a speakerphone, we ask that you please pick up your handset before pressing the keys. To withdraw your question, please press star then two. For the benefit of all participants on today's call, if you wish to ask your question to management in Chinese, please immediately repeat your question in English. Today's first question comes from Bin Wang with Deutsche Bank. Please go ahead.
[Non-English content] My question is about the second quarter. So why suddenly in the second quarter you can probably start to decline and used car start to decline as well. Why second quarter, not the first quarter? Secondly, because you mentioned about the pressure in the second quarter, what's roughly gross margin change in the second quarter we have? Thank you.
[Non-English content]
Hi, this is John. I'll take your question. The overall vehicle sales volume in China from January to March is in line with our expectation. Since starting from April to May, ICE vehicles saw a 35% drop in sales volume. Used cars started to see a 10%-15% drop starting April. This is why we are seeing a drop in the second quarter.
[Non-English content]
Since April, we have seen rapid price adjustments in the new car market, particularly for ICE vehicles. This has also pressured gross margin across the used car industry. Under such volatile market conditions, we have become more cautious in our operations. We will prioritize healthy inventory turnover over short term gross margin optimization, and as a result, gross margin will face greater pressure in the second quarter.
[Non-English content]
If ICE vehicle prices continue to decline significantly from current levels, our gross margin will remain under pressure. However, based on what we have seen since early June, new car prices have generally stabilized. Given our fast inventory turnover, inventory affected by earlier price volatility is being gradually cleared. As a result, we expect gross margin to improve meaningfully in the third quarter and potentially return to normal levels.
[Non-English content]
That's my answer to your question. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you. Our next question today comes from Wenjie Dai with SWS Research. Please go ahead.
[Non-English content] OK. As we can see, the company has been accelerating its store, especially this year. Could the management rate how the operating performance of newly opened superstores compares with that of the Xi'an superstore when it first opened, specifically such as sales ramp, revenue growth, and profitability involved as the superstore model measured? Thank you.
[Non-English content]
Thank you for the question. This is John. I'll take your question. Xi'an was our first superstore, and officially commenced operations in December 2022. At that time, we were still building and validating the entire superstore operating model, including vehicle sourcing, pricing, reconditioning, inventory management, sales conversion and customer service. Now the Xi'an superstore is in a much more mature stage. Last year, its monthly retail transaction volume peaked at 2,700 units, representing roughly 25% local market share, and it has already achieved profitability at the store level.
[Non-English content]
What we have clearly seen is that with several years of operating experience, the ramp-up periods for new superstores has become significantly shorter. Take Wuhan and Zhengzhou as examples. The Wuhan superstore opened in March 2025, and its monthly retail transaction volume exceeded 1,000 units within about six months. The Zhengzhou superstore opened in September 2025, and its monthly retail transaction volume surpassed 1,000 units in about four months. Zhengzhou is particularly encouraging because it's both a highly competitive and highly active used car market. Achieving that level of sales growth within such a short period demonstrates that our model is becoming increasingly scalable and replicable across different cities.
[Non-English content]
This improvement is driven by several factors. First, our procurement, pricing and inventory management systems have become much more mature, allowing us to establish the right inventory mix for each local market more quickly. Second, our sales and operations teams have become much more standardized, allowing new superstores to replicate operating practices that have already been proven successful. Third, as the Uxin brand continues to gain recognition, new superstores are able to attract customers and build trust much faster than in the early days. In addition, our site selection and project evaluation capabilities have improved significantly. We are also benefiting from the current real estate market environment, which helps us secure better locations for new superstores.
[Non-English content]
From a revenue perspective, faster sales ramp-up naturally drives faster revenue growth. From profitability perspective, new superstores still require upfront investments in facilities and staffing, so profitability typically lags sales growth. However, as sales volume scales up, inventory turnover stabilizes, gross margin increases, and operating efficiency improves, new superstores will gradually move closer to the performance levels of mature locations.
[Non-English content]
Overall, the Xi'an superstore proves that the single store model can achieve profitability, while the Wuhan and Zhengzhou superstores demonstrate that the model is becoming increasingly efficient to replicate across new markets. As we continue opening new superstores, we will closely monitor sales ramp-up, gross margin, inventory turnover, and store-level EBITDA to ensure that our expansion remains high quality and sustainable.
[Non-English content]
Thank you, that's my answer.
[Non-English content] Thank you.
Thank you. Our next question comes from Xingxing Li, or I'm sorry, Xingxing Li with CMS. Please go ahead.
[Non-English content] We notice the company has recently announced a number of strategic partnerships with local governments. Could you provide more color on your store opening plans for this year? If market conditions do not improve, would the company consider slowing down the pace of new store opening?
[Non-English content]
Thank you for your questions. This is D.K., I will take your questions. Regarding our expansion plan, we expect to open four to six new superstores in 2026. The Tianjin superstore officially commenced operations in March, and it is our first project in North China. We have also announced projects in Chongqing, Shijiazhuang, Yinchuan, Wuxi and Guangzhou. At the same time, we are in discussions with a number of other local governments across China regarding future cooperation opportunities. These projects are at different stages of development. Some are approaching trial operations, while others are still in the facility preparation, team building and inventory sourcing stages.
[Non-English content]
As for market conditions, we have certainly seen volatility in both new and used vehicle prices this year, which creates short term pressure across the industry. However, industry adjustments also tend to accelerate consolidation. For companies with strong inventory turnover, pricing capabilities, standardized reconditioning processes, and trusted customer service, periods like this can create opportunities to gain market share.
[Non-English content]
Therefore, we will not change our long term strategy of nationwide expansion because of short term market volatility. At the same time, we will remain flexible and disciplined in execution. If market conditions remain challenging, we may take a more conservative approach to the pace of new store openings, inventory ramp up, and operating expenses. Our priority will remain cash efficiency, inventory turnover, and store-level operating quality.
[Non-English content]
At this point, our plan to open four to six new super stores this year remains unchanged. Our target of achieving more than 100% year-over-year growth in retail transaction volume for 2026 also remains unchanged. We will continue to manage the rollout of each project based on market conditions and ensure that our expansion remains high quality and sustainable. Thank you.
[Non-English content]
That answers your question.
[Non-English content]
Thank you. Our next question today comes from George Zhao with TF Securities. Please go ahead.
[Non-English content] We have seen some growing divergence between the performance of the ICE vehicles and NEVs in the new car segments this year. Are you seeing a similar trend in used car sales?
[Non-English content]
Thank you for your question. This is D.K. I'll take your question. Overall, China's auto market has been under pressure this year. Taking May as an example, passenger vehicle sales declined by nearly 22% year-over-year. Within that, ICE vehicle sales fell by 39%, while NEV sales declined by 7.5%. While NEV sales also declined, the decline was much less severe than that of ICE vehicles. As a result, NEV retail penetration exceeded 60%.
[Non-English content]
The used car market is fundamentally built on vehicle ownership, and the supply of used cars is closely tied to the ownership structure. Based on what we have seen over the past several months and in the market today, used ICE vehicles have been affected primarily by pricing pressure. However, from an overall sales mix perspective, we have not seen a meaningful increase in the share of NEVs in the used car market. The reason is quite simple: NEVs still account for less than 15% of total vehicle ownership in China.
[Non-English content]
What really drives the used car market is pricing. Unlike the new car market, used cars can continuously adjust their prices to restore their value proposition for consumers. In our view, the current market correction is actually a very important sign that China's auto market is becoming more mature. Used car prices have fallen sharply during this cycle, but in many ways, this adjustment represents a one-time reset in residual value. The residual value of a three-year-old used vehicle in China, measured against current new vehicle prices, used to be around 68%-72%. Today, that figure has declined to roughly 58%-60%, down 10 percentage, bringing it much closer to levels seen in mature markets such as the United States, Europe, and Japan.
[Non-English content]
Globally, for used cars to fully demonstrate their value for money advantage, residual values need to return to more reasonable levels. Once this pricing adjustment is completed, we expect not only more trade-ins for new vehicles, but also a growing number of used for used replacement purchases. Most vehicle purchases driven by practical needs will be satisfied by used cars, and China's used car market will move closer to the supply and demand dynamics seen in mature markets.
[Non-English content]
That's my answer to your question. Thank you.
Thank you. That concludes our question-and-answer session. I'd like to turn the conference back over to management for any closing remarks.
Thank you again for joining today's call and for your continued support in Uxin. We look forward to speaking to you again soon in the future.
Thank you. That concludes today's conference call. We thank you all for attending today's presentation. You may now disconnect your lines and have a wonderful day.

FY2026 Q4 earnings call transcript
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by. Welcome to Uxin's Earnings Conference Call for the Quarter Ended December 31st, 2025. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. After management's prepared remarks, there will be a Q&A session. Today's conference call is being recorded. If you have any objections, you may disconnect at this time. I would now like to turn the call over to your host for today's conference call, Ms. Allie Wang. Please go ahead, Allie.
Thank you, operator. Hello, everyone. Welcome to Uxin's Earnings Conference Call for the Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Ended December 31st, 2025. On the call with me today, we have DK, our Founder and CEO, and John Lin, our CFO. DK will review business operations and company highlights, followed by John, who will discuss financials and guidance. They will both be available to answer your questions during the Q&A session that follows. Before we proceed, I would like to remind you that this call may contain forward-looking statements, which are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ from our current expectations. For detailed discussions of the risks and uncertainties, please refer to our filings with the SEC. Now, with that, I will turn the call over to our CEO, DK. Please go ahead, sir.
[Non-English content]
Good day to everyone, and thank you for your continued interest and support. It's a pleasure to welcome you on our earnings call today. To better communicate with our domestic and international investors, I will be discussing our performance over the last year, as well as providing insights into our prospects in both Chinese and English.
[Non-English content]
China's vehicle ownership has approached 370 million units, forming a large and growing base that continues to unlock significant potential for vehicle recirculation. In 2025, used car transaction volume in China exceeded 20 million units for the first time, accounting for approximately 5.5% of total vehicle ownership, well below the 10%-15% level typically seen in more mature markets. As this percentage rises towards that level, annual used car transaction volume could reach 35 million-50 million units, based on current vehicle ownership alone.
[Non-English content]
Consumer expectations for products, services, and overall experience in the used car industry continue to rise. We have observed that they are no longer satisfied with availability alone, and increasingly value transparency in vehicle conditions, fair pricing, professional service, and reliable after-sales support. We believe that in this trillion RMB market, which remains at an early stage of development, those who can systematically address these pain points will be well positioned to lead the transformation and upgrading of China's used car industry。
[Non-English content]
Against this backdrop, Uxin is redefining used car transactions through a modern retail approach. We leverage our advanced self-operated reconditioning factories to ensure vehicle quality and provide a one-stop purchasing experience and comprehensive after-sales support through our offline superstores and online marketplace. As a result, buying and selling used cars could become as simple, transparent, and trustworthy as purchasing standardized retail products。
[Non-English content]
In 2025, despite continued intense price competition in the new car market, which created challenges for the used car industry, our business maintained strong growth momentum. Our full-year retail transaction volume reached 51,110 units, up 135% year-over-year, marking the second consecutive year of more than 130% growth. Total revenues reached RMB 3.24 billion, representing a 79% increase year-over-year. Meanwhile, as both inventory and sales continued to scale up, our inventory turnover days for vehicles available for sale remained stable at approximately 30 days.
[Non-English content]
During the year, we also began large-scale replication and nationwide expansion of our super store model. Building on our existing super stores in Hefei and Xi'an, we opened three new super stores in Wuhan, Zhengzhou, and Jinan, establishing a scalable operating system that can be replicated across regions. Our mature super stores in Xi'an and Hefei continued to ramp up, each achieving over 20% market share in their respective cities. Wuhan, as the first replicated super store after our model had been validated, delivered stronger sales growth and profitability than our earlier super stores at the same stage. Zhengzhou and Jinan super stores further improved upon Wuhan's performance.
[Non-English content]
These achievements are supported by core capabilities that we have built over time and continue to strengthen. First, our pricing capability continues to evolve. We have accumulated the industry's largest set of real transaction data from our self-operated used car sales, and this data continues to grow, roughly doubling each year. This enables our pricing model to become increasingly precise. Our digital systems respond rapidly to market changes, allowing us to maintain real-time pricing competitiveness on both sourcing and sales. As a result, we are well positioned to navigate industry volatility and systematically improve vehicle-level profitability while sustaining high inventory and turnover efficiency.
[Non-English content]
Second, we have built an innovative integrated factory warehousing retail business model. Each of our superstores is supported by a used car reconditioning factory, forming China's largest, most advanced and most efficient supply system for high-quality used vehicles. We have established scalable advantages over traditional dealers in quality control, reconditioning, efficiency and cost optimization. Leveraging the reconditioning capabilities at our self-operated factories, we have expanded the used car service value chain and are able to provide full-lifecycle vehicle services including financing, insurance, extended warranties, accessories and repair and maintenance services similar to those offered by new car dealers. Compared with traditional used car dealers that primarily offer financing services, our revenue streams are more diversified with greater potential for profitability improvement.
[Non-English content]
Meanwhile, most of our superstores carry inventory of more than 2,000 vehicles and serves as a landmark used car retail destination in its local market. Landmark superstores help build customer trust. Through our in-store service, vehicle display and experience design, customers can enjoy a professional, transparent and trustworthy retail experience at our superstores. Our Net Promoter Score has reached 67, and customer satisfaction and brand reputation remain at industry-leading levels. We believe that our sales conversion efficiency, together with our ability to generate organic traffic through strong word of mouth, provides us with significant advantages over traditional used car dealers.
[Non-English content]
We clearly see that Uxin is advancing rapidly along a validated and continuously strengthening development path. Looking ahead to 2026, we will continue to increase inventory and sales across our existing five superstores, and we plan to open four to six additional superstores during the year, further strengthening our nationwide network. Based on these plans, we expect both our full-year retail transaction volume in 2026 and revenue to grow by more than 100%.
[Non-English content]
The modernization of China's used car industry has only just begun, and Uxin is positioned to benefit from a significant market opportunity. We also recognize that truly sustainable growth is not simply about speed, but is built on the coordinated improvement of scalability, operational efficiency, and customer value. We will remain focused on delivering better products and more professional services to our customers, while driving higher standards for solutions across the industry and creating long-term value for our shareholders.
[Non-English content]
Once again, thank you for your trust and support.
[Non-English content] John, please。
With that, I'd like to turn the call over to our CFO to walk you through the financial results. John, please.
[Non-English content]
Thank you, DK, and hello, everyone. I will now share an update on our financial performance.
[Non-English content]
We delivered another quarter of strong results in the fourth quarter of 2025. Retail transaction volume reached 19,160 units, representing a 37% sequential increase and a 124% increase year-over-year, significantly outperforming the overall China used car market, which reported a year-over-year growth rate of approximately 6% during the same period. This demonstrates that our retail business remains firmly on a path of rapid growth.
[Non-English content]
Total retail revenue for the quarter was RMB 1.129 billion, up 38% sequentially and 104% year-over-year. Our average selling price, or ASP for retail vehicles, decreased from RMB 65,000 in the same quarter last year to RMB 59,000 this quarter, but slightly increased from RMB 58,000 in the last quarter. While ASP declined as we shifted toward a more affordable inventory mix, the strong growth in transaction volume largely offset the pricing impact and supported overall revenue expansion. Our current inventory structure is well aligned with mainstream consumer demand, and we believe pricing has now stabilized at a rational level. As such, we expect ASP to remain relatively steady in the near term.
[Non-English content]
On the wholesale side, we sold 2,474 units in the fourth quarter, up 31% sequentially and 180% year-over-year. Wholesale revenue for the quarter was RMB 38.2 million. Combining retail and wholesale operations, total revenue for the fourth quarter was RMB 1.198 billion, representing a 36% sequential increase and a 101% year-over-year increase.
[Non-English content]
Our gross margin for the fourth quarter was 6.8%, down 0.7 percentage points from 7.5% in the last quarter. This was primarily due to promotional activities in the new car market during the fourth quarter, which put pressure on profitability across the used car industry. In addition, we opened a new superstore in Zhengzhou in September and another in Jinan in December. A newly opened superstore typically operate at lower gross margins during their early stages of ramp up.
[Non-English content]
Operating expenses also increased during the quarter, primarily due to the initial ramp-up of our new superstores, including investments in staffing and infrastructure. As a result, our Adjusted EBITDA loss was RMB 27.2 million.
[Non-English content]
Turning to our full-year 2025 results. Retail transaction volume totaled 51,110 units, representing a 135% year-over-year increase. Full-year retail revenue was RMB 3.021 billion, up 19% year-over-year. Total revenue reached RMB 3.24 billion, an increase of 79% year-over-year. In 2025, we opened three new super stores in Wuhan, Zhengzhou and Jinan, marking a new phase of rapid nationwide replication and expansion. These new super stores have ramped up more quickly than our earlier locations, continuing to drive growth in both our sales volume and overall financial performance.
[Non-English content]
Gross margin for the full-year was 6.7%, remaining stable compared with last year. Despite lower margins during the early ramp-up stages of newly opened superstores, this continued improvement in profitability from our mature superstores enabled us to maintain stable margins while expanding rapidly.
[Non-English content]
Turning to expenses as SG&A and R&D expenses totaled RMB 450 million, representing 13.9% of total revenue, a significant improvement from 24.3% last year, reflecting meaningful progress in cost control and operating leverage.
[Non-English content]
Adjusted EBITDA loss for the full-year was RMB 57.9 million, narrowing by 28% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was -1.8%, an improvement of 2.7 percentage points from last year. We have disclosed additional details regarding our full-year financial performance and our recently published fourth quarter and annual results, so I will not repeat all the figures here.
[Non-English content]
Turning to our outlook for the first quarter of 2026. While the first quarter is traditionally a seasonally soft period for the used car industry due to the Chinese New Year holiday, we expect retail transaction volume to be between 16,200 units and 16,500 units, representing year-over-year growth of over 110%. Total revenue is expected to be between RMB 1.05 billion and RMB 1.07 billion.
[Non-English content]
Lastly, to reiterate Kun Dai's comments on our full-year outlook. In 2026, we plan to open fourt to six new superstores with sales volume and inventory continuing to ramp up at our existing superstores. Along with new store openings, we are confident in achieving over 100% year-over-year growth in both retail transaction volume and revenues in 2026.
[Non-English content]
This concludes our prepared remarks today. Operator, we're ready for question.
We will now begin the question and answer session. To ask a question, you may press star then one on your touch-tone phone. If you are using a speakerphone, please pick up your handset before pressing the keys. If at any time your question has been addressed and you would like to withdraw your question, please press star then two. At this time, we will pause momentarily to assemble our roster. The first question today comes from Dai Wenjie with SWS. Please go ahead.
Okay, thank you. Thank you for your comments. I'm Dai Wenjie. My first question is the company delivered another quarter of strong growth in both sales volume and revenue. Management also provide some color on the changes in gross margin. As you plan to open to 46 new superstores in this year, how should we think about the gross margin growing into 2026 and our ASP? Could Management share your latest view on used car pricing trends this year? Are you starting to see some signs of stabilization? Thank you.
[Non-English content]
[Non-English content]
Thank you for the question. Let me take this one.
[Non-English content]
Gross margin declined sequentially in the fourth quarter, mainly due to the ramp-up of newly opened superstores. We opened our Zhengzhou Superstore in September and our Jinan Superstore in December. During the initial ramp-up phase, we adopt a more competitive pricing strategy to drive traffic and establish market presence, resulting in a narrower spread between sourcing costs and selling prices compared to our mature stores. In addition, the penetration of value-added services also takes time to ramp up as our market share and brand recognition improve in these markets. It generally takes around six to nine months for new stores to reach the gross margin level of our mature stores. At the same time, our new car market experienced a slowdown in sales last December, and dealers stepped up promotional activities which put pressure on used car margins.
[Non-English content]
According to our operating data for the first quarter of 2026, we have already seen meaningful improvement in the gross margins of our newly opened superstores in Zhengzhou and Jinan. Overall gross margin has begun to recover compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, and we expect it to return to above 7%.
[Non-English content]
Regarding ASP, according to data from the China Automobile Dealers Association, the national average transaction price of used cars has started to recover since the fourth quarter of last year. We are seeing a similar trend in our own operating data. Our retail ASP increased sequentially for two consecutive quarters, reaching RMB 59,000 in the fourth quarter of 2025, and we expect it to exceed RMB 61,000 in the first quarter of 2026.
[Non-English content]
In addition, due to factors such as rising raw material costs, the phase-out of purchase tax incentives and government subsidies, as well as regulatory guidance aimed at reducing excessive price competition, we expect new car pricing to become more stable in 2026 compared with the past three years. More stable new car pricing will also support used car prices. As a result, we expect our retail ASP to show a stable to upward trend in 2026 compared with 2025. Given that we expect retail transaction volume to grow by over 100% year-over-year in 2026, revenue growth is expected to outpace transaction volume growth.
[Non-English content]
That's my answer. Thank you.
[Non-English content]
[Non-English content]
Thank you.
The next question comes from Fei Dai with TF Securities. Please go ahead.
[Non-English content]
I have a question on customer acquisition. How should we think about the customer acquisition channels for new superstores compared with your mature stores? Are there any key differences? Thank you.
[Non-English content]
Thank you for the question. Let me address your question. Customer acquisition for new superstores mainly comes from three channels. First, Uxin is a well-recognized brand in China's used car market. As a result, whenever we enter a new city, we already have a certain level of traffic accumulation on the Uxin used car app in that market. This is a key difference compared with many regional dealers. In other words, during the initial ramp-up phase of a new superstore, we are able to leverage our existing brand awareness and online traffic base to reactivate and reengage existing users, bringing in the first batch of users and leads into the new market.
[Non-English content]
Second, we typically carry out a series of marketing and PR campaigns around new superstore openings. In addition to targeted marketing on digital platforms, we also collaborate with local governments when launching new superstores. Local governments often provide promotional resources and local media support, which helps us quickly build awareness and reach potential customers in the new market.
[Non-English content]
Third, we also partner with vertical automotive platforms and media to capture traffic and leads from third-party channels. Given the competitiveness of our vehicle quality and pricing, we are able to achieve strong exposure and conversion on these platforms.
[Non-English content]
As the new stores continue to operate and mature in local markets, the cities where our superstores are located gradually become destination markets for car purchases and walk-in traffic increases over time. At the same time, as transaction volume scales up, customer satisfaction and brand reputation continue to build, and referrals from existing customers also increase, further improving conversion and creating a positive customer acquisition cycle.
[Non-English content]
Overall, as new superstores continue to mature, the proportion of traffic generated by our strong product offering, service quality and customer experience continues to increase, and our customer acquisition costs continue to decline.
[Non-English content]
That's my answer. Thank you.
[Non-English content]
The next question comes from Li Xinxin with China Merchants Securities. Please go ahead.
[Non-English content] Congratulations on entering a new phase of nationwide expansion. From a long-term perspective, could management share some color on your store expansion potential across China, and how many superstores you think you can automatically roll out over time?
[Non-English content]
Thank you for the question. Let me take this one. As of the end of 2025, we had five superstores in operation. In March this year, we opened a new superstore in Tianjin. We expect to open four to six superstores in 2026, with a goal of having more than 10 stores in operation by the end of 2026.
[Non-English content]
We are very confident in our long-term store expansion potential across China, primarily because of the sheer size of the used car market. China's vehicle ownership has already exceeded 350 million units. On top of this large base, there are many cities that are well suited for deploying Uxin large-scale used car superstores. Our assessment of store expansion potential is mainly based on the level of vehicle ownership in each city, as well as our target market share.
[Non-English content]
At a high level, for a city with vehicle ownership of 500,000, we believe it can support a Uxin superstore with around 1,000 units of inventory. Assuming 10%-15% of vehicle ownership is transacted as used cars annually, such a city would generate annual used car transactions of approximately 50,000-80,000 units. Based on the over 20% market share that our mature stores have already achieved, a Uxin superstore could achieve annual sales of over 10,000 units, which corresponds to an inventory level of around 1,000 units.
[Non-English content]
Applying the framework today there are more than 30 cities in China with vehicle ownership exceeding three million, which can support super stores with over 5,000 units of inventory. There are more than 70 cities with vehicle ownership exceeding one million, which can support super stores with over 2,000 units of inventory. In addition, there are more than 100 cities with vehicle ownership exceeding 500,000, which can support super stores with over 1,000 units of inventory. In the long run, we believe there are more than 200 cities across China where we can potentially operate, supporting annual retail transaction volume of over three million units. Thank you. That was my answer.
[Non-English content]
[Non-English content]
This concludes our question and answer session. I would like to turn the conference back over to management for any closing remarks.
Thank you all for participating on today's conference call. We look forward to reporting to you soon.
The conference is now concluded. Thank you for attending today's presentation. You may now disconnect.

Uxin Q4 Earnings Call Highlights
Uxin posted rapid retail growth with 51,110 units in 2025 (+135% YoY) and 19,160 units in Q4 (+124% YoY), while expanding its superstore footprint (five stores at end‑2025, Tianjin opened March 2026) and targeting 4–6 new superstores in 2026 to exceed 10 by year‑end as it pursues a long‑term opportunity across >200 cities and an estimated >3 million annual retail market.

Uxin reported full-year 2025 retail transaction volume of 51,110 units, up 135% year-over-year, which management said marked the second consecutive year of more than 130% growth. Total revenue for 2025 was RMB 3.24 billion, up 79% year-over-year, while Dai added that inventory turnover days for vehicles available for sale remained stable at about 30 days as the company scaled. → 5 Space Stocks Already Climbing Ahead of the SpaceX IPO On the footprint, Dai said Uxin expanded beyond its earlier superstores in Hefei and Xi’an, opening three new superstores in Wuhan, Zhengzhou, and Jinan during 2025. He said mature superstores in Xi’an and Hefei each achieved over 20% market share in their respective cities, and he described Wuhan as the first replicated store after the model was validated, with stronger sales growth and profitability than earlier superstores at the same stage. He added that Zhengzhou and Jinan further improved upon Wuhan’s performance. Dai also outlined capabilities he said support the model, including a pricing system built on a growing dataset of “real transaction data” from self-operated used-car sales, as well as an “integrated factory warehousing retail” model where superstores are supported by reconditioning factories. He said the company has expanded into full-lifecycle services including financing, insurance, extended warranties, accessories, and repair and maintenance. → GPU Prices Are Surging—3 Ways to Play the AI Chip Shortage Dai cited a Net Promoter Score of 67 and said landmark superstores help build customer trust through in-store service, vehicle display, and experience design. Lin said fourth-quarter 2025 retail transaction volume reached 19,160 units, up 37% sequentially and 124% year-over-year. He compared that to approximately 6% year-over-year growth for the overall China used-car market during the same period. Retail revenue in the quarter was RMB 1.129 billion, up 38% sequentially and 104% year-over-year, according to Lin. He said retail average selling price (ASP) declined to RMB 59,000 from RMB 65,000 in the prior-year quarter, reflecting a shift toward a more affordable inventory mix, but increased slightly from RMB 58,000 in the prior quarter. Lin said the company believed pricing had “stabilized at a rational level” and expected ASP to remain relatively steady in the near term. On wholesale activity, Lin said Uxin sold 2,474 units in the fourth quarter, up 31% sequentially and 180% year-over-year, generating wholesale revenue of RMB 38.2 million. Total fourth-quarter revenue, combining retail and wholesale, was RMB 1.198 billion, up 36% sequentially and 101% year-over-year. Gross margin in the fourth quarter was 6.8%, down from 7.5% in the prior quarter. Lin attributed the sequential decline primarily to promotional activity in the new-car market that pressured used-car profitability, as well as the early-stage ramp of newly opened superstores in Zhengzhou (opened in September) and Jinan (opened in December). Operating expenses rose due to initial ramp-up investments in staffing and infrastructure at new superstores, and Lin reported an adjusted EBITDA loss of RMB 27.2 million for the quarter. For full-year 2025, Lin reported retail revenue of RMB 3.021 billion and said total revenue was RMB 3.24 billion. He reported full-year gross margin of 6.7%, which he said was stable versus the prior year, as improving profitability at mature superstores offset lower margins during the ramp-up of new locations. Lin said SG&A and R&D expenses totaled RMB 450 million, or 13.9% of total revenue, improving from 24.3% the prior year, which he attributed to cost control and operating leverage. Adjusted EBITDA loss for the full year was RMB 57.9 million, narrowing 28% year-over-year, and adjusted EBITDA margin improved to negative 1.8%, an improvement of 2.7 percentage points from last year. For the first quarter of 2026, Lin said Uxin expected retail transaction volume of 16,200 to 16,500 units, representing year-over-year growth of over 110%, with total revenue of RMB 1.05 billion to RMB 1.07 billion. He noted the first quarter is typically seasonally soft due to the Chinese New Year holiday. In response to an analyst question on gross margin and ASP trends, Lin said fourth-quarter gross margin was pressured by competitive pricing at new stores during early ramp-up and the time required to increase penetration of value-added services. He said it generally takes about six to nine months for new stores to reach the gross margin levels of mature stores. Lin added that, based on first-quarter 2026 operating data, the company had already seen “meaningful improvement” in gross margins at Zhengzhou and Jinan, and that overall gross margin had begun to recover from the fourth quarter, with an expectation it would return to above 7%. On pricing, Lin cited data from the China Automobile Dealers Association indicating the national average used-car transaction price began to recover in the fourth quarter of 2025, and he said Uxin saw a similar trend. Lin said Uxin’s retail ASP increased sequentially for two consecutive quarters to RMB 59,000 in the fourth quarter and expected ASP to exceed RMB 61,000 in the first quarter of 2026. He also said factors including rising raw material costs, the phase-out of purchase tax incentives and government subsidies, and regulatory guidance aimed at reducing excessive price competition could contribute to more stable new-car pricing in 2026, which he said would support used-car prices. Lin said the company expected retail ASP to show a stable-to-upward trend in 2026 versus 2025, and he said revenue growth was expected to outpace transaction volume growth given expectations for more than 100% year-over-year volume growth. Dai reiterated expansion goals for 2026. He said Uxin had five superstores in operation at the end of 2025 and opened a new superstore in Tianjin in March 2026. He said the company planned to open four to six superstores in 2026 and aimed to have more than 10 stores in operation by the end of the year. Discussing longer-term potential, Dai said the company evaluates store opportunity based on city vehicle ownership and targeted market share, and he outlined a framework in which cities with higher vehicle ownership could support larger inventory levels. He said that, over the long run, Uxin believes there are more than 200 cities across China where it could potentially operate, supporting annual retail transaction volume of more than three million units. Asked about customer acquisition for new superstores, Lin said early traffic typically comes from three channels: existing brand awareness and user traffic on the Uxin app in a new city; marketing and PR campaigns around store openings, including collaborations with local governments and local media support; and partnerships with vertical automotive platforms and media to capture third-party leads. Lin said that as stores mature, walk-in traffic and referrals increase, and customer acquisition costs decline as more traffic is generated organically through product, service quality, and customer experience.
