第二季收入按年升24%至2,070萬美元
新加坡 – Media OutReach Newswire – 2024年9月20日 – 領先大東南亞市場的個人理財及數碼保險比較平台 MoneyHero Limited (Nasdaq: MNY) (下稱 「MoneyHero」或「公司」) 公布截至 2024 年 6月30日的第二季業績。
管理層評論：
行政總裁Rohith Murthy先生表示：「我很高興公布集團在今個季度再次取得強勁業績，收入按年增長24%，達到2,070萬美元，進一步奠定MoneyHero作為區內最大的個人理財及數碼保險比較平台的領導地份。我們持續擴大市場份額，其中新加坡的收入在信用卡和保險業務強勁的表現帶動下，大升68%。在2024 年上半年，我們收到970,000 萬宗銀行和保險產品申請，印證公司在業內具有領導地位，並反映行業仍有龐大的持續增長空間。
我們專注於提升營運效率的策略重點收獲成效，預期下季度的經調整後EBITDA虧損將會收窄，同時預期在簡化營運、優化市場行銷支出，和提升整體效率的明確行動帶動下，在2024年第四季可實現經調整後 EBITDA 利潤。我們採取有節度的方法包括減少員工人數、實行以人工智能驅動流程，協助公司大幅提升營運槓桿。
我們的重心由推動網站流量增長，轉為推動頁面轉換率和產品申請次數。相關策略轉變使經批核申請次數增加 50%，表示我們有能力將具價值的網站流量轉化成可量化的業務成果，優化增長。
同時，公司推出多項新功能，包括經重新設計的手機應用程式、全新的汽車保險業務、和優化的平台UX/UI界面。相關措拖預期可加強顧客參與，同時帶動高利潤的收入來源。此外，我們有 650 萬位會員，讓我們可以進行交叉銷售和追加銷售，從現有客戶群中釋放更大的價值。
我們的資本狀況仍然強勁，使我們能夠進行策略性投資並發掘併購機會，進一步鞏固我們的市場領導地位。近期，公司宣布不再在馬來西亞市場擔當營運商並轉為投資者，此決定反映我們專注投入高增長市場的和建立高價值夥伴合作關係的承諾。
我們將聚焦改善經調整後 EBITDA，專注提升效率並將焦點轉投在高利潤的收入來源，包括私人借貸、保險、以及廣告收入等關鍵業務來推動集團獲利。儘管部分市場仍然面臨挑戰，我們已採取糾正措施，並預期恢復強勁增長。我們預期在2024年第四季可錄得正數經調整後 EBITDA，為股東締造可持續和長遠價值。」
首席財務總監錢灝先生補充：「在 2024 年第二季度，MoneyHero 的策略性擴展計劃成功帶動經批核申請次數穩健增長，並推動收入按年上升24%至2,070萬美元。我們的市場份額錄得強勁增長，尤其是在核心市場，並繼續擴大在大東南亞的市場份額。然而，由於在客戶獲取、品牌建立、平台科技重整及數據基建等方面的投資，令第二季錄得(1,220)萬美元虧損和經調整後EBITDA 虧損達到(930) 萬美元。在第二季，我們繼續推行增長策略，旨在加快主要業務發展和擴大市場份額。經調整後EBITDA虧損增加的主要原因是：
- 策略投資：我們透過增加在品牌建立、客戶獲取、數據和科技上的投資，藉此獲取新客戶和建立基建，為未來盈利能力奠定根基。
- 供應商限制：在第二季，多家供應商由於重大平台遷移而暫停在台灣和菲律賓的新客戶獲取活動，因此影響公司的短期財務表現。我們預計隨著遷移工作完成，客戶獲取量將於第三季重回正軌。與此同時，由於一家主要供應商退出多個重點市場，對我們的收入和盈利能力大有影響。為了緩解收入虧損的壓力，我們已投資在其他供應商的產品，並擴展其他業務。我們預計相關供應商退出市場造成的收入及盈利能力影響，可望於第三季及第四季有所改善。
- 營運成本上升：整體營運成本按年上升，主要是作為上市公司的額外成本，包括審計費、董事及高級管理人員責任保險、投資者關係/公共關係相關費用。
展望未來，我們預計2024年下半年的經調整後 EBITDA 虧損將會收窄，獲利率將於第三季恢復，並於年內持續改善。我們已就公司組織架構展開全面檢討，並於最近公布精簡人手措施，預期將於第三季度結束前完成，此舉將令公司業務營運更加精簡，更能發揮成本效益。隨著我們將焦點轉投提高營運效率，以及優化為推動業務增長而作出的投資回報，我們預計於年底前，集團將有經調整後的EBITDA利潤。」

Key Performance Metrics and Non-IFRS Financial Measures
“Monthly Unique User” means as a unique user with at least one session in a given month as determined by a unique device identifier from Google Analytics. A session initiates when a user either opens an app in the foreground or views a page or screen and no session is currently active (e.g., the user’s previous session has ended). A session ends after 30 minutes of user inactivity. We measure Monthly Unique Users during a time period longer than one month by averaging the Monthly Unique Users of each month within that period.
“Traffic” means the total number of unique sessions in Google Analytics. A unique session is a group of user interactions recorded when a user visits the website or app within a 30-minute window. The current session ends when there is 30 minutes of inactivity or users have a change in traffic source.
“MoneyHero Group Members” means (i) users who have login IDs with us in Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan , (ii) users who subscribe to our email distributions in Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Philippines and Malaysia, and (iii) users who are registered in our rewards database in Singapore and Hong Kong. Any duplications across the three sources above are deduplicated.
“Clicks” means the sum of unique clicks by product vertical on a tagged “Apply Now” button on our website, including product result pages and blogs. We track Clicks to understand how our users engage with our platforms prior to application submission or purchase, which enables us to further optimize conversion rates.
“Applications” means the total number of product applications submitted by users and confirmed by our commercial partners.
“Approved Applications” means the number of applications that have been approved and confirmed by our commercial partners.
In addition to MoneyHero Group’s results determined in accordance with IFRS, MoneyHero Group believes that the key performance metrics above and the non-IFRS measures below are useful in evaluating its operating performance. MoneyHero Group uses these measures, collectively, to evaluate ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. MoneyHero Group believes that non-IFRS information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance and may assist in comparisons with other companies to the extent that such other companies use similar non-IFRS measures to supplement their IFRS results. These non-IFRS measures are 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. Accordingly, non-IFRS measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of other IFRS financial measures, such as loss for the year/period and loss before income tax.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as loss for the year/period plus depreciation and amortization, interest income, finance costs, income tax expenses/(credit), equity-settled share option expense, transaction expenses, impairment of non-financial assets, other long-term employee benefits credit, other non-recurring costs related to strategic transaction, changes in fair value of financial instruments, non-recurring legal fees, and unrealized foreign exchange differences. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.
A reconciliation is provided for each non-IFRS measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with IFRS. Investors are encouraged to review the related IFRS financial measures and the reconciliations of these non-IFRS measures to their most directly comparable IFRS financial measures. IFRS differs from U.S. GAAP in certain material respects and thus may not be comparable to financial information presented by U.S. companies. We currently, and will continue to, report financial results under IFRS, which differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP.
