Non-HKFRS Measure

To supplement our consolidated financial statements which are presented in accordance with HKFRSs, we also use a non-HKFRS measure, adjusted profit/(loss) for the period, as an additional financial measure, which is not required by, or presented in accordance with, HKFRSs. We believe that such non-HKFRS measure facilitates comparisons of operating performance from period to period and company to company by eliminating potential impacts of items that we do not consider to be indicative of our operating performance. We believe that such measure provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our consolidated results of operations in the same manner as they help our management.

The following table reconciles our adjusted profit/(loss) for the periods presented to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with HKFRSs:

Adjusted profit/(loss) for the period is not a measure required by or presented in accordance with HKFRSs. The use of adjusted profit/(loss) for the period has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation from, or as a substitute for analysis of, our results of operations or financial condition as reported under HKFRSs.

Management Discussion and Analysis

BUSINESS REVIEW

Duiba Group is a leading user management SaaS service provider and the interactive advertising operator in China. It provides full-cycle operation services in user acquisition, activity retention and monetization for tens of thousands of customers in financial, Internet and other industries.

1. User Management SaaS Business

Our user management SaaS platform is designed to help businesses attract and retain online users in a cost- effective manner, by offering various fun and engaging user management tools including reward points system operation, membership marketing operation and gamification operation to boost mobile app user activity and participation on apps. Having initially launched our user management SaaS platform on a free-of-charge model in order to expand our customer base, we began charging for our user management SaaS solutions on a pilot basis in April 2018. Meanwhile, we have been extending user management SaaS solutions to serve offline enterprises.

As at 30 June 2020, paying customers which used our charged user management SaaS services increased to 727 (1H2019: 568) including 159 customers from financial industry (1H2019: 19) and 568 customers from other industries (1H2019: 549). For the six months ended 30 June 2020, the number of newly signed contracts (including renewed contracts) for the Group's user management SaaS business reached 345 (1H2019: 263). The total value of our newly signed contracts (including renewed contracts) in 1H2020 was approximately RMB39.6 million (1H2019: RMB15.3 million) and the average charge per signed contract was approximately RMB115,000. Revenue generated from our user management SaaS business increased significantly by 166.0% to RMB28.4 million (1H2019: RMB10.7 million).

The sales and marketing strategy of our user management SaaS business for offline businesses is to actively explore cooperation opportunities with top brands in several sectors including retailing, catering, banking and new media. In 1H2020, we continuously made breakthroughs in expanding our banking customer base. The total number and the total value of our newly signed contracts (including renewed contracts) with banking customers in 1H2020 was 97 (1H2019: 18) and RMB14.8 million (1H2019: RMB1.7 million), respectively.

Management Discussion and Analysis

In addition, in 1H2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 has caused the live broadcast events to enter the era of public awareness and use. The majority of businesses are doing live broadcast for e-commerce. However, for banks and insurance companies, the products in these industries are obviously slow in turnover cycles and rely on salespersons to guide the customers on decision-making, thus the traditional e-commerce live streaming is not applicable here. We started to provide a complete set of professionally generated live content planning and live supporting products for customers in these industries since April 2020. Before the live broadcast, sufficient potential users will be formed through the training and incentive mechanism for the company's salespersons. During the live broadcast process, the product interaction design will cooperate with the professional host to increase user engagement. During the viewing process, users will actively participate in raising questions, tests, reservations and receiving awards and other interactions which will leave precise user clues. After the live broadcast, through digital management tools, salespersons can more efficiently follow up and convert user clues brought by live broadcast. In the future, a picture will be formed. The salespersons or account managers of these companies will actively request the company to continue to broadcast live events. This is the core empowerment of our products, making live broadcast an indispensable means for corporate sales. For the six months ended 30 June 2020, we have three paying customers which used our live broadcast SaaS service.

We will invest more in research and development to provide businesses with one-stop user management SaaS service to help them manage, activate and acquire users, including reward points system operation, membership marketing operation, gamification operation and live broadcast SaaS service. We covered top brands in offline businesses especially banks and insurance companies which have a large user base and demand for one-stop user management SaaS services, and we believe they present a great untapped potential.

2. Interactive Advertising Business

In 2015, the Group pioneered and launched its interactive advertising business, which aggregated the traffic of different app scenarios, systematically managed content activities, and achieved large-scale monetization through advertisements, thereby achieving a win-win situation for each of the advertisers, media partners and users. Advanced big data analytics and AI technology also provides robust support to the innovation and operations of our interactive advertising platform. We generally charge our interactive advertising customers based on the performance of advertisements. The majority of our revenue from our interactive advertising business during the six months ended 30 June 2020 was generated from the CPC (cost per click) model under which we charged customers only if viewers interacted with our advertising tools and were directed to the mobile internet page designated by the advertisers.

As the worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 has caused a sharp drop of economy, China's GDP fell by 6.8% in the first quarter of 2020, compared with last year and this sharp drop was the first time in 44 years. For the four months ended 30 April 2020, the demand and budget of the advertisers took a significant beating by the economy drag from the COVID-19 outbreak and the advertising platform's offline traffic also has come to a staging standstill. A slower recovery of the Group's advertising business was proved since May 2020, meanwhile we expect a strong recovery after the COVID-19 outbreak ends.

For the six months ended 30 June 2020, the revenue from our interactive advertising business declined by 42.8% to RMB440.0 million (1H2019: RMB769.6 million). 42% of such revenue was contributed by the e-commerce industry and 42% of such revenue was contributed by the financial industry. Among the top 20 ultimate advertisers in terms of revenue contribution in 1H2020, four customers were e-commerce platforms operated by listed companies and eight customers were listed financial enterprises.

  • DUIBA GROUP LIMITED

Management Discussion and Analysis

The interactive advertising model of the Group attracts users with rich and interesting high-engagement activities, and provides users with entertainment and leisure. At the same time, the advertisements are presented in the form of discounts and benefits on the landing pages, which meets and stimulates user demand.

The Group has made persistent efforts to upgrade its advertising technology capability and provide online automated and customized services to both content distribution channels and advertisers through our interactive advertising platform consisting of the media management platform and the smart advertising system.

As at 30 June 2020, we had designed more than 17,000 advertising campaigns, most of which were the first-of-their-kind on the market. During the six months ended 30 June 2020, the average revenue per chargeable click under the CPC model of our interactive advertising platform decreased to RMB0.31 (1H2019: RMB0.34) due to the COVID-19 outbreak, and the average CTR (click-through rate) of our interactive advertising business reached 26.7% (1H2019: 26.5%) through our continuing efforts to upgrade products and technology.

3. Research and Development

During the six months ended 30 June 2020, the Group continued to increase investment in research and development. As at 30 June 2020, the number of employees from our research and development department was 390, accounted for 52.8% of the Group's total employees, which resulted in a 11.6% increase in the Group's research and development expenses from RMB52.7 million in 1H2019 to RMB58.8 million in 1H2020. In order to improve and optimize our algorithms, we appointed Mr. Chen Xiuyi (陳秀義), who has extensive experience in the application of algorithm technology relating to online advertising, as the chief technology officer on 1 April 2020.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

As the demand and budget of the advertisers took a significant beating by the economy drag from the COVID-19 outbreak and the advertising platform's offline traffic also has come to a staging standstill, the Group's growth record was revised downwards. However, the Group further facilitated the monetization of user management SaaS business as this segment contributed rapid growth and high gross margin.

Revenue

For the six months ended 30 June 2020, the Group recorded a total revenue of RMB468.4 million (1H2019: RMB780.3 million), with a decrease of approximately 40.0% as compared to 1H2019. Such decrease was attributed to the 42.8%, or RMB329.6 million, decline in the revenue from our interactive advertising business for the six months ended 30 June 2020 as compared to 1H2019 reflecting the sharp fall in advertising page views and number of chargeable clicks from 9,733.8 million to 7,554.8 million, and 2,583.4 million to 2,019.6 million, respectively, during the six months ended 30 June 2020 due to the dramatic reduction of the demand and budget of the advertisers and a staging standstill to the platform's offline traffic.

However, the revenue generated from our user management SaaS platform business recorded an increase of 166.0% to RMB28.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020 as compared to 1H2019 mainly due to the increased number of newly signed contracts (including renewed contracts) and the increased unit price.

Management Discussion and Analysis

Gross Profit

For the six months ended 30 June 2020, the Group recorded gross profit of RMB67.4 million (1H2019: RMB244.3 million), which decreased by approximately 72.4% as compared to 1H2019. The gross profit margin was approximately 14.4% (1H2019: approximately 31.3%) and the gross profit margin for user management SaaS business and interactive advertisement business was 67.8% and 10.9%, respectively. The decline in gross profit was mainly due to the dramatic beating of the macro environment and advertising industry by the COVID-19 outbreak. Firstly, as the economy drag caused by the COVID-19 outbreak has left the advertisers with uncertain demand and budget, the Group adjusted the incentive strategy for the core advertisers. Secondly, the COVID-19 has come to a staging standstill to the advertising platform's offline traffic which contributed a higher conversion efficiency in 2019. Finally, for improving advertisement performance continuously, the Group increased the procurement of premium quality traffic from the core content distribution channels and adjusted the revenue sharing ratio. As most of the advertisers, especially the e-commerce industry, have increased advertisement budgets gradually, and the advertising platform's offline traffic recovered quickly since May 2020, thus the Group expects a strong revenue recovery with decent profitability after the COVID-19 outbreak ends.

Selling and Distribution Expenses

For the six months ended 30 June 2020, the Group recorded selling and distribution expenses of RMB42.6 million (1H2019: RMB53.9 million), representing a decrease of 20.9% as compared to 1H2019, mainly due to the reduction in marketing and advertising expenses. Meanwhile, selling and distribution expenses as a percentage of our total revenue increased to approximately 9.1% (1H2019: approximately 6.9%), mainly because the revenue decreased due to the COVID-19 outbreak, however the number of the Group's selling and distribution employees remained stable over the six months ended 30 June 2020. In addition, the Group has increased the selling and distribution expenses to promote user management SaaS business.

Administrative Expenses

For the six months ended 30 June 2020, the Group recorded administrative expenses of RMB103.7 million, representing a decrease of 12.3% compared to RMB118.2 million for 1H2019, because no listing expense was incurred in 1H2020 (1H2019: RMB32.2 million). The Group recorded research and development expenses of RMB58.8 million (1H2019: RMB52.7 million) and share-based payment of RMB24.6 million (1H2019: RMB9.0 million) respectively. Administrative expenses as a percentage of our total revenue increased to approximately 22.1% (1H2019: approximately 15.2%) mainly due to the sharp increase of share-based payment.

Changes in Fair Value of Financial Liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss

The loss we recognized from the change in fair value of financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss decreased from RMB467.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019 to nil for the six months ended 30 June 2020, because all of our redeemable preference shares have been converted into ordinary shares immediately prior to our listing on 7 May 2019.

Management Discussion and Analysis

Loss for the Period

For the six months ended 30 June 2020, loss attributable to the shareholders of the Company amounted to RMB47.8 million (1H2019: RMB382.4 million). Basic loss per share decreased to RMB5 cents (1H2019: RMB50 cents) mainly due to the fact that no changes in fair value of financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss was recorded for the six months ended 30 June 2020.

Adjusted Profit or Loss for the Period

For the six months ended 30 June 2020, the Group's adjusted loss was RMB23.3 million (1H2019: adjusted profit of RMB126.5 million), and such decrease was mainly caused by the significant decrease in our revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2020 compared with the same period of 2019 as mentioned above.

Cash Flows

For the six months ended 30 June 2020, our net cash outflow used in operating activities was RMB1.9 million (1H2019: net cash inflow of RMB200.0 million), and such change was primarily due to the decrease in our revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2020 compared with the same period of 2019. Our net cash outflow used in investing activities was RMB104.1 million (1H2019: RMB873.4 million), representing a decrease of 88.1% compared with 1H2019, primarily due to the disposals of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss at the amount of RMB1,295.0 million (1H2019: RMB860.0 million). Our net cash outflow used in financing activities was RMB3.7 million (1H2019: net cash inflow of RMB543.4 million), and such change was primarily due to the net proceeds from issue of shares of the Company (the "Shares") in 2019.

Gearing Ratio

The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is total debt divided by total capital and net debt. Total debt includes trade payables, other payables and accruals, tax payable, lease liabilities and contract liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents. As at 30 June 2020, the Group's gearing ratio was approximately 9.1% as compared to approximately 1.9% as at 30 June 2019, primarily due to the decrease of cash and cash equivalents compared with that as at 30 June 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Structure

During the six months ended 30 June 2020, the daily working capital of the Group was primarily derived from internally generated cash flow from operating activities and the net proceeds from issue of Shares. As at 30 June 2020, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of approximately RMB111.7 million (as at 30 June 2019: RMB159.9 million). We did not have any unutilized banking facilities as at 30 June 2020.

Foreign Exchange Risk Management

The Group has transactional currency exposures. Such exposures arise from the issue of share in currencies different from the operating units' functional currencies. At present, the Group does not intend to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations. However, the management constantly monitors the economic situation and the Group's foreign exchange risk profile and will consider appropriate hedging measures in the future should the need arise.

Management Discussion and Analysis

FUTURE OUTLOOK

The COVID-19 outbreak has a far-reaching impact on the future economy. Enterprises are further increasing their investment in digital transformation and upgrade, especially in industries where the main business still relies mainly on offline scenarios and channels, typically represented by the banking industry. During the COVID-19 outbreak, offline outlets are unable to carry out operations, and account managers cannot visit customers, thus greatly affecting the normal development of their business. Online user management and the creation of online new user scenarios become an extremely urgent need of major banks for their business upgrade. The Group will be deeply engaged in user management SaaS business in vertical industries for a long time, and continuously upgrade and innovate our products and services, so as to create greater long-term value for banking, retail and other industries.

The COVID-19 outbreak has a significant impact on the interactive advertising business of the Group, with the staging standstill of the traffic for the offline consumption scenario due to the outbreak, and the budget pressures on advertisers in the industry. However, with the recovery of the domestic economy, the two negative effects have been gradually eliminated, with a significant improvement in the market environment for the continuous growth of the interactive advertising business. Looking forward to the second half of the year, the Group will adhere to the diversified traffic structure strategy of online and offline, omni-channel and full-scenario coverage for advertising traffic. In addition to the offline consumption scenario, it will further expand the traffic from WeChat mini program, digital TV traffic, and various access to traffic in the Internet of Things era after the full coverage of 5G in the future.

It is the long-term relentless mission of Duiba, a young team, to help enterprises improve their efficiency!

The Board believes that Mr. Chen Xiaoliang should continue to assume the responsibilities of the chairman of the Board and the chief executive office of the Company as this arrangement will improve the efficiency of our decision-making and execution process given his familiarity with our Group.

During the daily operations of the Company, all material decisions are approved by the Board and the relevant Board committees, as well as the senior management team. In addition, the Directors proactively participate in all board meetings and all relevant board committee meetings, and the chairman ensures all the Directors are duly informed of all the matters to be approved at the meetings. In addition, the senior management team provides the Board with sufficient, clear, complete and reliable company information on a regular basis and from time to time. The Board also regularly meets and reviews the operations of the Company under the leadership of Mr. Chen Xiaoliang on a quarterly basis.

The Board is therefore of the view that there is an adequate balance of power and that appropriate safeguards are in place. The dual roles of Mr. Chen Xiaoliang have no negative effect on the balance of power and authority between Board and the Company's senior management team. The Board will continue to regularly monitor and review the Company's current corporate governance structure and to make necessary changes when appropriate.

Save as disclosed above, the Company has complied with all applicable code provisions of the CG Code for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The Company will continue to review and monitor its corporate governance practices to ensure compliance with the CG Code.

MODEL CODE FOR SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

The Company has adopted the Model Code as set out in Appendix 10 to the Listing Rules as its own code of conduct regarding directors' securities transactions. Having made specific enquiries of all Directors, each of the Directors has confirmed that he/she has complied with the required standards as set out in the Model Code for the six months ended 30 June 2020.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The audit committee of the Company, together with management, has reviewed the unaudited interim results of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2020.

SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The Share Option Scheme was approved and adopted by the Shareholders on 17 April 2019 and became effective upon the listing of the Shares on the Stock Exchange.

The Board (including any committee or delegate of the Board appointed by the Board to perform any of its functions pursuant to the rules of the Share Option Scheme) may, at its absolute discretion, offer to grant an option to subscribe for such number of Shares as the Board may determine to an employee (whether full time or part-time) or a director of a member of the Group or associated companies of the Company, provided that any grant of options under the Share Option Scheme is subject to unanimous approval of all members of the Board entitled to approve such grant pursuant to the requirements under the Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws and regulations. The purpose of the Share Option Scheme is to incentivize and reward the eligible persons for their contribution to the Group and to align their interests with that of the Company so as to encourage them to work towards enhancing the value of the Company.

The maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme must not in aggregate exceed 10% of the Shares in issue on the Listing Date being a total of 111,111,120 Shares. The total number of Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of the options granted (including both exercised and outstanding options) to a participant in any 12-month period must not exceed 1% of the Shares in issue as at such date unless approved by the Shareholders in a general meeting.

The options granted under the Share Option Scheme may be accepted by a participant within such period (not exceeding 30 days inclusive of, and from, the date of offer) as the Board may determine and notify to the participant concerned provided that no such offer shall be open for acceptance after the expiry of the duration of the Share Option Scheme. An amount of RMB1.00 is payable upon acceptance of the grant of an option.

The exercise price of the options granted under the Share Option Scheme shall be such price as determined by the Board and notified the participant and which shall not be less than the highest of: (i) the closing price of the Shares as stated in the Stock Exchange's daily quotation sheets on the date of grant of the option, (ii) the average of the closing price of the Shares as stated in the Stock Exchange's daily quotation sheets for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of grant of the option, and (iii) the nominal value of the Shares.

The Share Option Scheme is valid and effective for a period of ten years commencing on the Listing Date, and it has a remaining life of approximately nine years as at the date of this interim report. Since the adoption of the Share Option Scheme and during the Reporting Period, no option had been granted or agreed to be granted by the Company pursuant to the Share Option Scheme, and as at 30 June 2020, no option under the Share Option Scheme was outstanding.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information

30 June 2020

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

Duiba Group Limited ("the Company") is a limited liability company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 26 February 2018. The registered address is Cricket Square, Hutchins Drive, P.O. Box 2681, Grand Cayman, KY- 1111, Cayman Islands.

The Company is an investment holding company. During the six-month period ended 30 June 2020 (the "reporting period"), the Company's subsidiaries are principally involved in user management SaaS platform business, interactive advertising business and other businesses. The shares of the Company were listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange") on 7 May 2019.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The Group's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2020 have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information have been prepared under the historical cost convention. These financial statements are presented in Renminbi ("RMB") and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.

3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, except for the adoption of the following revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs") for the first time for the current period's financial information.

Amendments to HKFRS 3

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information

3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES (continued)

The nature and impact of the revised HKFRSs are described below:

  1. Amendments to HKFRS 3 clarify and provide additional guidance on the definition of a business. The amendments clarify that for an integrated set of activities and assets to be considered a business, it must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. A business can exist without including all of the inputs and processes needed to create outputs. The amendments remove the assessment of whether market participants are capable of acquiring the business and continue to produce outputs. Instead, the focus is on whether acquired inputs and acquired substantive processes together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The amendments have also narrowed the definition of outputs to focus on goods or services provided to customers, investment income or other income from ordinary activities. Furthermore, the amendments provide guidance to assess whether an acquired process is substantive and introduce an optional fair value concentration test to permit a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. The Group has applied the amendments prospectively to transactions or other events that occurred on or after 1 January 2020. The amendments did not have any impact on the financial position and performance of the Group.
  2. Amendments to HKFRS 9, HKAS 39 and HKFRS 7 address the effects of interbank offered rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments provide temporary reliefs which enable hedge accounting to continue during the period of uncertainty before the replacement of an existing interest rate benchmark. In addition, the amendments require companies to provide additional information to investors about their hedging relationships which are directly affected by these uncertainties. The amendments did not have any impact on the financial position and performance of the Group as the Group does not have any interest rate hedge relationships.
  3. Amendment to HKFRS 16 provides a practical expedient for lessees to elect not to apply lease modification accounting for rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the covid-19 pandemic. The practical expedient applies only to rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the covid-19 pandemic and only if (i) the change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change; (ii) any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021; and (iii) there is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease. The amendment is effective retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 June 2020 with earlier application permitted.
    During the reporting period, no lease payments for the leases of the Group's buildings has been reduced or waived by the lessors. The amendments did not have any impact on the financial position and performance of the Group.
  4. Amendments to HKAS 1 and HKAS 8 provide a new definition of material. The new definition states that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of information. The amendments did not have any impact on the Group's interim condensed consolidated financial information.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information

18. FAIR VALUE AND FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As at 30 June 2020, the fair values of the Group's financial assets or financial liabilities approximated to their respective carrying amounts.

Management has assessed that the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, financial assets included in prepayments, other receivables and other assets and financial liabilities included in other payables and accruals approximate to their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments.

The Group's finance department headed by the finance manager is responsible for determining the policies and procedures for the fair value measurement of financial instruments. At each reporting date, the finance department analyses the movements in the values of financial instruments and determines the major inputs applied in the valuation. The directors review the results of the fair value measurement of financial instruments periodically for annual financial reporting.

The fair values of the non-current other receivables have been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows using rates currently available for instruments with similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities.

The fair values of unlisted financial assets at fair value through profit or loss have been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows using discount rates currently available for instruments with similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities. The valuation requires the directors to make estimates about the expected future cash flows including the expected future interest return on maturity of the products based on market interest rates. The directors believe that the estimated fair values resulting from the valuation technique approximate to the carrying amounts at the end of the reporting period. The fair values of tradeable financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are obtained from quoted prices in active markets.
