Senmiao Technology Announces Ride-Hailing Platform Operating Metrics for December 2023

CHENGDU, China, Jan. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Senmiao Technology Limited (“Senmiao” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: AIHS), a financing and servicing company focused on the online ride-hailing industry in China as well as an operator of its own online ride-hailing platform, today announced the operating metrics for its proprietary online ride-hailing platform for the month of December 2023. In December 2023, Senmiao and its affiliates recorded approximately 0.55 million total completed orders, a 13.6% increase from 0.48 million total orders completed in November 2023. The increase was primarily a result of the recent strategic cooperation with Anhui Lianma Technology (“Lianma”)

Numbers reported include the number of completed orders from several ride-hailing platform partners in Chengdu, utilizing Senmiao’s network of cars and drivers for a set monthly fee.

Since the launch of Senmiao’s online ride-hailing platform in October 2020, more than 26.2 million rides have been completed using its own platform. Approximately 9.2 million rides have been completed on several platforms in partnership with Senmiao under the new model3. The number of drivers completing rides via all the platforms (known as Active Drivers) in December 2023 was 5,127, compared to 5,240 in November 2023. 

Starting 2024, Senmiao will begin providing operating metric updates on its online ride-hailing business on a quarterly basis as part of its financial result disclosures. 

The table below presents approximate unaudited operating metrics of Senmiao and its affiliates’ online ride-hailing platform since the launch in October 2020.

N/A

1 Under the original model, orders coming from partner platforms are completed by Senmiao’s own platform. A rider can search for taxi/ride-hailing services on Senmiao’s partner platforms, which then provide the rider with options for online ride-sharing service providers, including Senmiao. If the rider selects Senmiao, the order will then be distributed to registered drivers on Senmiao’s own platform for viewing and acceptance and then completed by Active Drivers. Senmiao earns commissions for each completed order based on a certain percentage of the value of the order. Since December 2023, Lianma is responsible for the comprehensive operation of Senmiao’s platform under this model.

2 Under the new model, orders go through partner platforms but do not utilize Senmiao’s own platform. Online ride-hailing requests and orders will be completed on the partner platforms utilizing Senmiao and its affiliates’ network of cars and drivers for a set monthly fee.

3 New model commenced in August 2021.
