Uxin Limited Announces Successful Validation of Superstore Business Model, Significant Reduction in Losses, and Target of Achieving Overall Profitability by 2024
BEIJING, Dec. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Uxin Limited (“Uxin” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: UXIN), China’s leading used car retailer, announced its financial results for the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2024 on November 28, 2023.
Despite challenging economic conditions and a competitive used car market in China, Uxin achieved robust growth from the first to the second quarter of fiscal year 2024. The Company’s retail transaction volume for the second quarter reached 2,287 units, a 35.6% sequential increase from the first quarter, significantly outpacing the industry’s 5% sequential transaction volume growth. Additionally, the Company’s flagship Changfeng superstore, a joint venture with the Hefei local government, commenced its trial operations. Encompassing a vast area of 450,000 square meters, the Changfeng superstore features the world’s most advanced used car reconditioning factory and the largest warehouse-style used car retail superstore, with a capacity to showcase up to 10,000 vehicles. This flagship store is expected to drive sustained business growth for Uxin in the coming years.
Over the past two years, Uxin’s superstore business model has proven successful. The Company has effectively maintained the turnover days of its inventory below 45, while expanding its gross margin to 6.2% in the second quarter from 1.3% in the same period last year. In the second quarter, the Company also narrowed its overall adjusted EBITDA loss by almost half year-over-year, with the Xi’an superstore achieving positive EBITDA in September. Alongside significant improvements in profitability, Uxin’s customer net promoter score (NPS) has maintained around 60, leading the industry for seven consecutive quarters.
Mr. Kun Dai, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Uxin, outlined the Company’s roadmap to overall profitability in the earning press release. He highlighted that the Xi’an superstore, relocated and upgraded in December 2022, achieved positive EBITDA in September 2023 after 10 months of operation. The Changfeng superstore in Hefei City, which began trial operations in September 2023, is expected to reach positive EBITDA by March 2024 or earlier. Leveraging the scalable profitability of its superstores, combined with Uxin’s ongoing efforts in cost control and optimization, the Company targets to achieve overall adjusted EBITDA profitability by September 2024 or earlier.
Mr. Feng Lin, CFO of Uxin, expressed confidence in the Company’s trajectory towards high-quality, sustainable development. He emphasized the Company’s strong financial position as a cornerstone for future business growth and profitability objectives. In September 2023, Uxin entered into an equity investment agreement with the investment platform of the local government of Hefei City. As part of this agreement, the Hefei government platform will invest up to RMB1.5 billion in Uxin’s Hefei subsidiary over the next decade, with an initial tranche of approximately RMB150 million essentially completed. In addition, the Company has successfully made arrangements with its investors to finalize the delivery of approximately USD30 million from previous financing transactions by the end of this year.

DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is excited to announce it’s among the first to be granted consent to a full authorization by the Astana Financial Service Authority (AFSA). This milestone brings Bybit closer to becoming a fully regulated Digital Asset Trading Facility (DATF).
As part of a rigorous process, Bybit Kazakhstan has passed a full AML check, business conduct audit, and detailed compliance inspections. This is part of Bybit’s focus on securing new user opportunities in Kazakhstan and the broader Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region.
“Kazakhstan has become a key player in the global crypto ecosystem, and we are thrilled to be expanding our services in such a dynamic market,” said Ben Zhou, co-founder and CEO of Bybit. “We are committed to bringing our cutting-edge technology, security, and transparency to crypto traders in Kazakhstan, ensuring they can access the best possible tools and services to thrive in this fast-growing industry.”
Once the full license is in place, Bybit Kazakhstan will offer various digital assets related products and services. The expansion into Kazakhstan aligns with Bybit’s mission to provide reliable and transparent services, catering to the unique needs of crypto traders and investors in the region.
This development follows Bybit’s receipt of its initial operating and custody licenses from AFSA in June 2023, reinforcing its commitment to local regulatory requirements. Bybit’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its presence in Kazakhstan underscore its belief in responsible growth and ensuring a compliant and secure trading environment.
Kazakhstan has quickly emerged as a hub for crypto innovation, and Bybit is proud to play a leading role in fostering this development. For example, Bybit hosted a “Foundations of Blockchain, Web3 and Crypto Exchange Activities” course for Banks of Kazakhstan in 2024. This event was part of Bybit’s drive to make blockchain education more accessible in the CIS region.
By securing this full authorization, Bybit is poised to enhance crypto adoption, provide institutional-grade security, and offer advanced trading features to its growing regional user base.

Integrum ESG and CSRHub enable fund managers to monitor both long-term trends and short-term movements in ESG ratings for companies, across a 10-year time series
LONDON, Sept. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Integrum ESG, the leading alternative ESG data provider, has today announced the launch of their Consensus ESG Ratings module.
Just as investors monitor movements in consensus earnings estimates or credit ratings, investors now are aware of the demand for the ability to monitor long-term trends and short-term movements in consensus ESG ratings.
This new feature enables Integrum ESG’s asset manager clients to now see the consensus ESG score for any company, either as an absolute rating or a relative percentile ranking, across a 10-year time series.
These scores will indicate to any investor what the capital markets have ‘priced in’ for a company’s ESG performance, allowing users to quickly understand the market’s view on a company and easily conduct relative ESG analysis on the positions they hold within their Portfolio.
This regularly updated data is provided by CSRHub, the world’s leading provider of consensus ESG ratings. CSRHub has spent years aggregating and normalising a vast range of licensed sources – from large ESG ratings firms such as MSCI, ISS, S&P Global, and Sustainalytics to specialists such as CDP and Better World Companies.
Shai Hill, Founder and CEO of Integrum ESG, commented: “Many investors have told us they want a sense of ‘what is priced in’ in terms of a company’s ESG performance, so they can compare this to what anyone ESG ratings firm is saying. CSRHub is the only firm to have credibly achieved this, thanks to a model refined over years and a vast data lake – so we are delighted to be partnering with them.”
Bahar Gidwani, Co-Founder of CSRHub, added: “Investors need to fine tune their ESG-related investment strategies to improve their returns and better match the preferences of their clients. Combining CSRHub’s expert outside-in, consensus view of ESG with Integrum ESG’s detailed real-time data stream provides a strong solution for these needs.”
About Integrum ESG
Integrum ESG is the leading alternative ESG data and ratings platform for investors, blending human analysis and award-winning artificial intelligence models to capture, verify and display granular and relevant ESG data for analysis and assessment. Their Platform allows clients to dissect ESG scores, real-time sentiment, and more with a variety of unique-to-market features, empowering industry professionals and investors and giving them complete oversight of ESG risk across their portfolio.
