FangDD Network Group Ltd. Reports First Half 2024 Financial Results
FangDD Network Group Ltd. (NASDAQ: DUO), a leading property technology company, has announced its unaudited financial results for the first half of 2024. Despite the challenges in the real estate market, the company achieved some significant milestones.
First Half 2024 Financial Overview
Financial Highlights
- Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024, saw a slight decline of 8.8%, totaling RMB140.0 million (approximately US$19.3 million), down from RMB153.5 million in the same period of 2023.
- Notably, net income surged to RMB16.4 million (US$2.3 million) for the first half of 2024, a substantial increase compared to RMB9.4 million in the same timeframe last year.
- When looking at non-GAAP net income, the figure remained consistent at RMB16.4 million (US$2.3 million), reflecting steady operational performance against a challenging market backdrop.
Operating Highlights and Market Context
Operational Insights
- During the first half of 2024, FangDD facilitated a total closed-loop Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) of RMB6.2 billion (around US$0.9 billion). This represented a decline of 24.9% compared to RMB8.3 billion recorded in the first half of 2023.
- This decrease was largely attributed to the ongoing downturn in the real estate sector and the company’s meticulous approach towards selecting new property projects for collaboration.
Mr. Xi Zeng, the Chairman and CEO, noted that decreases in the total area and value of new property sales reflected a broader decline within the market. He pointed out that government policies may foster market stability moving forward, with expectations of annual sales surpassing 10 trillion yuan.
Revenue Performance
In terms of revenue, the company faced obstacles due to a predominant wait-and-see stance from real estate buyers. Although government initiatives aim to encourage market growth, transaction volumes remained subdued.
Operating Expenses and Efficiency Strategies
Cost Analysis
For the six months ending June 30, 2024, FangDD reported a slight decrease in operating expenses, reducing by 3.0% to RMB86.1 million (US$11.8 million). This included share-based compensation expenses which have been strategically managed to maintain operational efficiency. In particular:
- Sales and marketing expenses significantly declined due to optimizations within the sales department and reduced marketing expenditures related to new property transaction services.
- The company also reduced its product development expenses by cutting back on personnel-related costs and reassessing investments in research and development.
- Conversely, general and administrative expenses increased marginally, primarily influenced by provisions for asset impairments and efforts to enhance operational efficiency.
Net Income Overview
FangDD's net income for this period stood at RMB16.4 million (US$2.3 million), reflecting a healthy increase from the previous year. The non-GAAP net income also mirrored this performance, indicating robust underlying business health amid market challenges.
The basic and diluted net income per American Depositary Share (ADS) both reached RMB4.50 (US$0.62), showing positive annual growth compared to RMB3.94 from the same period last year.
Company Liquidity
As of June 30, 2024, FangDD reported cash and cash equivalents, along with short-term investments totaling RMB154.2 million (US$21.2 million). However, the company faced some cash usage, highlighting the importance of ongoing liquidity management against market uncertainties.
Conclusion and Future Outlook
Given the ongoing shifts in the real estate market and the company's structured response, FangDD Network Group Ltd. remains committed to enhancing its operational capabilities and ensuring sustainable growth. With policy interventions aimed at stimulating the real estate market, the company anticipates opportunities for renewed momentum in the second half of 2024.
