Kaixin Auto Holdings Announces Unaudited First Half 2022 Financial Results
BEIJING, October 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kaixin Auto Holdings ("Kaixin" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: KXIN), one of the premium imported cars and used cars platform in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
First Half of 2022 Highlights
| • | Total net revenues were US$33.30 million, representing an increase of 1,532% from US$2.04 million in the first half of 2021. |
| • | Gross profit was US$223 thousand, representing a significant increase compared to that of US$2 thousand in the first half of 2021. |
| • | Loss from operations was US$32.80 million, compared with a loss of US$143.99 million in the first half of 2021. |
| • | Net loss attributable to the Company was US$70.52 million, compared with a net loss attributable to the Company of US$144.18 million in the first half of 2021. |
Mr. Mingjun Lin, chairman and CEO of Kaixin, said: "While Kaixin has been maintaining good turnover in its car sales business, the Company has taken significant steps to transition into an EV producer. Kaixin's EV business department has started operations in Suzhou, Anhui, and rolled out the first EV truck under the Tecroll brand in July 2022. Kaixin is confident in its strategic transformation into the new energy vehicles business!”
Ms. Lucy Yang, CFO of Kaixin, said: “Kaixin has signed binding term sheets with leading EV manufacturers in China and is fully committed to having the acquisition transaction completed by end of the year. Kaixin has reached preliminary agreements with several institutional investors to obtain sufficient targeted investment to support the new energy vehicle business operations. We see a promising future in Kaixin and appreciate the encouragement and trust of investors in us.”
First Half 2022 Results
Total net revenues for the first half of 2021 were US$33.30 million, representing a 1,532% increase from the first half of 2021.
Cost of revenues was US$33.07 million, compared to that of US$2.04 million in the first half of 2021. The increase in cost of revenues was in line with the increase in revenues.
Gross profit was US$223 thousand, compared to that of US$2 thousand in the first half of 2021.
Operating expenses were US$33.03 million, significantly lower than that of US$143.99 thousand in the first half of 2021. The difference in operating expenses between the two periods was largely due to the $143.65 million loss from impairment of goodwill in the first half of 2021.
Selling and marketing expenses were US$334 thousand, compared to $19 thousand in the first half of 2021.
General and administrative expenses were US$32.69 million, compared to that of US$0.31 million in the first half of 2021. The increase was primarily due to the expense from vesting of employee stock incentives in the first half of 2022.
Loss from operations was US$32.80 million, compared with a loss of US$143.99 million in the first half of 2021. The difference in loss from operations between the two periods was largely due to the $143.65 million loss from impairment of goodwill in the first half of 2021.
Net loss attributable to the Company was US$70.52 million, compared with a net loss attributable to the Company of US$144.18 million in the first half of 2021.
Adjusted loss from operations (non-GAAP)1 was US$2.86 million, compared to an adjusted loss from operations of US$0.33 million in the first half of 2021.
Adjusted net loss (non-GAAP)2 was US$3.81 million, compared to an adjusted net loss of US$0.52 million in the first half of 2021.
Subsequent Event
On September 26, 2022, the Company signed a binding acquisition term sheet with Wuxi Morning Star Technology Co., Ltd. (“Morning Star”), who manufactures and operates the POCCO EVs. According to the term sheet, the Company intends to acquire 100% equity of Morning Star through new share issuance and makes it a wholly owned subsidiary (the “Acquisition”). As consideration for the Acquisition, Kaixin will issue $100 million ordinary shares of Kaixin to the shareholders of Morning Star, and Morning Star was requested to acquire 100% equity of Henan Yujie Time Limited before October 31, 2022.
About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement Kaixin's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), Kaixin uses "adjusted loss from operations" and “adjusted net loss”, which are defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC, in evaluating its business. We define adjusted loss from operations as loss from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses and goodwill impairment. To facilitate investors and analysts, we present the foresaid impact in "Reconciliation of non-GAAP results of operations measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures" retrospectively. We present adjusted loss from operations and adjust net income (loss) because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance. We also believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our consolidated results of operations in the same manner as our management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of our peer companies.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliation of non-GAAP results of operations measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures" at the end of this release.

| 1. | ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES |
Kaixin Auto Holdings (“the Company” or “KAH”) was founded in 2016 and was incorporated in the Cayman Islands.
The Company, its consolidated subsidiaries, variable interest entities (“VIEs) and their subsidiaries, are collectively referred to as the “Group”. The Group is primarily engaged in sales of domestic automobiles and the used car sales business in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Kaixin established a subsidiary, Anhui Kaixin New Energy Vehicle Co., Ltd on January 25, 2022 as its headquarter of electric vehicle business unit and the Group is in the process of transforming from a dealership network to a manufacturer in China’s electric vehicle market.
The Kaixin VIE arrangements
In June 2022, Shanghai Renren Financial Leasing Co., Ltd.(“Shanghai leasing”) which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Zhejiang Jieying and Zhejiang Jieying’s nominee shareholders signed a series of amended and restated agreements that replaced the original VIE agreements between Zhejiang Kaixin and Zhejiang Jieying and their nominee shareholders in December 2021. The renewed contractual arrangements had no substantial change compared to the version signed in December, 2021.
The Haitaoche VIE arrangements
To comply with PRC laws and regulations, Zhejiang Taohaoche, which became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company after the completion of the Reverse Takeover conducts a substantial portion of the business in China through Ningbo Jiusheng and Qingdao Shengmei (the “Haitaoche VIEs”), and their subsidiaries, based on a series of contractual arrangements signed on July 11, 2019 and amended in October and November 2020, by and among Zhejiang Taohaoche, the Haitaoche VIEs and their nominee shareholders. In June 2022, the VIE contractual arrangements between Zhejiang Taohaoche, Ningbo Jiusheng and its nominee shareholders terminated and Ningbo Jiusheng was transferred from the nominee shareholders to Kaixin. Since Zhejiang Taohaoche and Ningbo Jiusheng are companies under common control, the terminated contractual arrangements had no substantial effect on consolidation.
The following financial statement amounts and balances of the VIEs and their subsidiaries were included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements before elimination of intercompany transactions:

There are no consolidated VIEs’ assets that are collateral for the VIEs’ obligations and can only be used to settle the VIEs’ obligations. The creditors of the one of Kaixin VIEs who provided short-term loans of $5,972 to the VIE have recourse to the general credit of Shanghai leasing, Shanghai Auto, and Zhejiang Taohaoche. However, if the VIEs ever need financial support, the Company or its subsidiaries may, at its option and subject to statutory limits and restrictions, provide financial support to its VIEs through loans to the shareholders of the VIEs or entrustment loans to the VIEs.
Relevant PRC laws and regulations restrict Shanghai leasing, Shanghai Auto, and Zhejiang Taohaoche, VIEs and their subsidiaries from transferring a portion of its net assets, equivalent to the balance of their statutory reserve and their share capital, to the Company in the form of loans and advances or cash dividends.
COVID -19 Risks and Uncertainties
Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position and results of its operations, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(In thousands of US dollars, except share and per share data, or otherwise noted)
| 2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| (a) | Basis of presentation |
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Security and Exchange Commission and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
In the opinion of the management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
| (b) | Warrants |
The Group accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Group’s own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations in the period of change.

According to the Equity Purchase Agreements, the Company agreed to provide certain payments of its ordinary shares to the Dealership Operators as part of the equity acquisition considerations, subject to certain payment triggers including the operating performance of the dealerships and service centers and KAH’s ordinary share price (“Contingent Consideration”). The Company recognized the Contingent Consideration as liability at fair value as of the acquisition date and the subsequent changes in fair value as gain/loss into earnings/(loss). In connection with the Company’s IPO on April 30, 2019, Renren Inc. (“Renren”) agreed to assume the Contingent Consideration from the Company, and the Company reclassified the Contingent Consideration from a liability to additional paid-in capital.
Since 2019, due to disagreements with certain Dealership Operators on operational matters, the Company had disruptions in operations of several dealerships. After continuous negotiations with the Dealership Operators, the Company signed the amendments to Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Amendments”) with seven Dealership Operators in August 2021, to 1) confirm a total of 4,513,761 ordinary shares as the first batch and the first two tranches of second batch of the Contingent Consideration issuable to the Dealership Operators in accordance with the Equity Purchase Agreements subject to the operating performance of the dealerships and service centers before 2021; 2) provide a total of 7,172,529 ordinary shares (“Compensation Shares”) to the Dealership Operators, in the purpose of alleviation of losses and distress that occurred during the temporary halt of business in the Dealerships after the breakout of the pandemic and the historical dispute between the Company and the Dealership Operators. The number of Compensation Shares was determined through negotiation of the Company with each of the Dealership Operators while taking into consideration the hardships they experienced over the prior years and the need to make prompt resolution of the historical dispute with the Dealership Operators. The Company recognized the Compensation Shares as loss related to provision for dealership settlement based on fair value of the Compensation Shares by reference to share-based payment transactions pursuant to ASC 718.
