Chairman, CEO and CFO Comments

"We encountered pandemic and macro-economy headwinds in 2022, which made it especially challenging for all technology companies. OneConnect maintained our operation prudence throughout the whole year, and achieved 6.5% year-over-year increase in revenue from third-party customers, along with significant improvements in operational efficiency and profit margin." said Mr. Shen Chongfeng, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, "During the fourth quarter, the pandemic continued to weigh on parts of our business. We experienced reduced usage volume in certain products and delays in a few implementation projects. Apart from that, we are delighted to see growth has remained robust. On-going efforts in products innovations have boosted recognition from our customers, as evidenced by strong growth momentum in Q4 from offerings including AI customer service and life insurance products. We also remained committed to key initiatives in our Stage II strategy.

On the product upgrade front, in digital banking, we upgraded our cloud native based core banking system 2.0 to meet increasing self-controlled technology demand. The latest version offers over 400 core APIs to further improve platform capability. In digital insurance, we entered into a strategic collaboration with a Pan-African Financial Service Group to boost life insurance digital transformation, and we collaborated with the customer in the Omni-channel Agent Solution project. The first phase of the project is underway, and the product had been delivered to the customer for piloting by the end of 2022. Our Gamma Platform, and AI customer service, which incorporate AI voice recognition engine and robots technology, have demonstrated strong momentum in new customer acquisition, revenue and customer stickiness.

Our overseas business developed rapidly in 2022, our virtual bank in Hong Kong recorded 92.9% year-over-year revenue increase in business in the fourth quarter, our subsidiary Ping An OneConnect Credit Reference Services Agency (HK) Limited has officially been informed of the approval of testing sign-off and independent assessment report and the decision of the Hong Kong Association of Banks to select it as a selected credit reference agency ("CRA") under the Multiple CRAs Model. Our CRA, which is expected to commence business in late 2023, will tap into the potential in the Great Bay Area from Hong Kong and contribute to credit reference business in the region. We have established our presence in the Middle East, empowering Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) to build a SME Financing Platform.

Looking ahead into 2023, we believe the re-opening and economic stimulus will undoubtedly bolster China's economy in the long run. However, we do expect our recovery will take some time as a result of the business nature. We will continue to operate prudently in 2023, focusing on growing revenue from third-party customers, and improving profit margin.

Mr. Luo Yongtao, Chief Financial Officer, commented, "We managed to deliver solid business performance, especially in profit margin improvement, in the fourth quarter amid a challenging macro environment. The number of premium-plus customers in 2022 increased from 212 to 221 on a year-over-year basis benefiting from greater market recognition for our Gamma platform products among customers which made up the decreasing product usage volume amid the pandemic.

We are excited to witness that this quarter, our gross margin greatly improved to 40.3%, benefitting from on-going product standardization efforts as well as seasonal factors. Regarding R&D spending, we focused on standardization of mature products and feature enhancement of relatively new products. As a result, we saw improved number of standard functional modules and shortened delivery cycle from such investment, which will ultimately reflect on our gross margin improvement. This quarter, we continued to follow stringent cost discipline and improved operational efficiency considerably, therefore, our net profit margin attributable to shareholders was up by 14 percentage points from -28.0% to -14.3%, making another milestone towards profitability. In addition, we continued our robust financial management and remained strong in our cash positions. These encouraging results made us more confident in achieving our mid-term target, which is turning profitable."

Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022 decreased by 3.0% to RMB1,242 million from RMB1,280 million for the same period in the prior year. The total revenue decrease was driven by decreased customer acquisition, risk management and operation support services revenue as a result of pandemic impact. However, cloud service and virtual bank business were less influenced by pandemic and achieved year-over-year growth in 2022 due to increasing customer demand. Implementation revenue rose by 46.3% to RMB317 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 from RMB217 million for the same period in the prior year, which was driven by the on-going digital transformation in Ping An Group and new product release such as life insurance solution gaining recognition in third-party customers. Revenue from business origination decreased by 29.3% on year-over-year basis to RMB71 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 from RMB100 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily due to decreased loan volumes as a result of pandemic impact and weaker customer demand. Revenue from risk management decreased by 48.5% on year-over-year basis, to RMB112 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 from RMB217 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the decreased usage volumes of auto insurance claim products and decreased banking loan volumes as a result of pandemic impact and weaker customer demand. Revenue from operation support services decreased by 16.9% to RMB275 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 from RMB331 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily due to decreased usage volumes of auto ecosystem services. Revenue from cloud service increased by 16.2% to RMB354 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 from RMB305 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily due to increased customer demand in the fourth quarter. Revenue from virtual bank business increased by 92.9% to RMB33 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 from RMB17 million for the same period in the prior year.

Use of Unaudited Non-IFRS Financial Measures

The unaudited consolidated financial information is prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Non-IFRS measures are used in (i) gross profit and gross margin, adjusted to exclude non-cash items, which consist of amortization of intangible assets recognized in cost of revenue, depreciation of property and equipment recognized in cost of revenue, and share-based compensation expenses recognized in cost of revenue; and (ii) adjusted operating loss, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net loss to shareholders and adjusted net profit margin which exclude the impact of the listing expense in connection with the company's listing in Hong Kong. OneConnect's management regularly review non-IFRS gross profit, non-IFRS gross margin, adjusted operating loss, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net loss to shareholders and adjusted net profit margin to assess the performance of our business. For example, by excluding non-cash items, non-IFRS gross profit and non-IFRS gross margin allow OneConnect's management to evaluate the cash conversion of one dollar revenue on gross profit. And the Company believes that the adjusted operating loss, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net loss to shareholders and adjusted net profit margin facilitate a comparison of our operating performance from period to period by eliminating potential impacts of certain non-operational or non-recurring expenses that do not affect our ongoing operating performance. OneConnect uses these non-IFRS financial to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. OneConnect believes that non-IFRS financial information, when taken collectively, is helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance, facilitates period-to-period comparisons of results of operations, and assists in comparisons with other companies, many of which use similar financial information. OneConnect also believes that presentation of the non-IFRS financial measures provides useful information to its investors regarding its results of operations because it allows investors greater transparency to the information used by OneConnect's management in its financial and operational decision making so that investors can see through the eyes of the OneConnect's management regarding important financial metrics that the management uses to run the business as well as allowing investors to better understand OneConnect's performance. However, non-IFRS financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with IFRS, and may be different from similarly- titled non-IFRS measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-IFRS financial measure in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial measure prepared in accordance with IFRS. Whenever OneConnect uses a non-IFRS financial measure, a reconciliation is provided to the most closely applicable financial measure stated in accordance with IFRS. You are encouraged to review the related IFRS financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-IFRS financial measures to their most directly comparable IFRS financial measures. For more information on non-IFRS financial measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliations of IFRS and non-IFRS results (Unaudited)" set forth at the end of this press release.
