Total revenues from recommendation services for the third quarter of 2022 increased by 30.3% to RMB211.6 million (US$29.7 million) from RMB162.4 million in the same period of 2021, primarily driven by the increases in credit card volume and the number of domestic loan applications, as well as the increase in average fee per domestic loan application.

Mr. David Ye, Co-founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Jianpu, commented, "In the third quarter, we maintained solid total revenue growth of 26.4% year-over-year and our Non-GAAP adjusted net loss margin^[1] significantly reduced to 3.5% from 23.9% a year earlier and 12.1% in the previous quarter, against the backdrop of a challenging macro environment. These resilient results were primarily driven by our balanced and diversified revenue structure, continued operating efficiency improvements, and cost optimization measures. We continued to execute on our strategy for optimizing company resources and streamlining operations to enhance our operational efficiency. In addition, our ongoing disciplined cost optimization measures continued to enhance our overall productivity."

The uncertainties around both COVID control measures and macro economy may persist into the fourth quarter. Therefore, we are adopting a cautious outlook on our business growth, which could moderate further in the fourth quarter. Looking ahead, we believe our industry leading position, technological capabilities, diversified revenue structure and continued efficiency gains will enable us to successfully navigate through the cycle and maintain a healthy and sustainable rate of growth. We remain committed to progressing on our vision of 'Becoming everyone's financial partner', thereby delivering greater long-term value to the company and shareholders," concluded Mr. Ye.

"Our third-quarter results highlight our relentless effort to maintain a good balance between business growth and operational efficiency. Our revenues from recommendation services increased by 30.3% year-over-year, while revenues from advertising, marketing services and other services were up 66.0% year-over-year. With the continued optimization of our cost structure and improvement in productivity, our Non-GAAP adjusted net loss^[1] reduced significantly by 81.5% year-over-year to just RMB9.4 million in the third quarter. We will maintain disciplined cost control, and strive to improve our productivity and margin further," said Oscar Chen, Chief Financial Officer of Jianpu.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net (loss)/income, each a Non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.

The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net (loss)/income help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of the expenses and gains that the Company include in (loss)/income from operations and net (loss)/income. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net (loss)/income provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net (loss)/income should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to net (loss)/income or any other measure of performance or as indicators of the Company's operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the historical Non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net (loss)/income presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company's data. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before share-based compensation expenses, investment impairment loss, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, investment gain of deconsolidation of subsidiaries and tax effects of above Non-GAAP adjustments. EBITDA represents net (loss)/income before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted net (loss)/income represents net (loss)/income before share-based compensation expenses, investment impairment loss, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, investment gain of deconsolidation of subsidiaries and tax effects of above Non-GAAP adjustments.

For more information on this Non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP results" set forth at the end of this press release.
