In response to these challenges, we reinforced our financial stability through disciplined expense management and cost-efficiency measures while seizing the used car market’s immense potential and opportunities. Over the past quarter, we focused on enhancing the competitiveness of ‘Cango U-car’ by ensuring a consistent supply of high-quality vehicles, optimizing dealer experiences and supply chain management, and improving the convenience and security of cross-regional deliveries.”
“Beyond ‘Cango U-car,’ we made significant strides in cross-border used car transactions during the quarter. Since its launch in March 2024, our international used car website, Autocango.com, has quickly gained traction among global audiences. We significantly expanded its market coverage as well as its range of product and service offerings in the second quarter. To date, its premium services and vast offering of over 85,000 high-quality used car SKUs have attracted over 180,000 visits with more than 20,000 registered users across 207 countries and regions worldwide. Furthermore, our streamlined, asset-light, and traffic-focused approach enables us to control operating costs while creating value. Ultimately, we aim to position Autocango.com as the premier gateway for exporting Chinese used cars. Moving forward, Cango will continue to deepen its partnership with overseas markets, further optimizing our trading functionality and services to better serve car buyers both in and outside China,” concluded Mr. Lin.
Mr. Yongyi Zhang, Chief Financial Officer of Cango, stated, “Despite market challenges, we maintained robust financial stability through disciplined expense management and cost-efficiency measures. Our net income for the quarter surged by 137.5% compared to the same period last year, and our cash position remains strong. As we enter the second half of the year, we will continue to enforce stringent cost control and risk management strategies, while actively exploring new initiatives leveraging Cango’s extensive industry expertise.”

Definition of Overdue Ratios
The Company defines "M1+ overdue ratio" as (i) exposure at risk relating to financing transactions for which any installment payment is 30 to 179 calendar days past due as of a specified date, divided by (ii) exposure at risk relating to all financing transactions which remain outstanding as of such date, excluding amounts of outstanding principal that are 180 calendar days or more past due.
The Company defines "M3+ overdue ratio" as (i) exposure at risk relating to financing transactions for which any installment payment is 90 to 179 calendar days past due as of a specified date, divided by (ii) exposure at risk relating to all financing transactions which remain outstanding as of such date, excluding amounts of outstanding principal that are 180 calendar days or more past due.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measure
In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss), a Non-GAAP measure, as a supplemental measure to review and assess its operating performance. The presentation of the Non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company defines Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses. The Company presents the Non-GAAP financial measure because it is used by the management to evaluate the operating performance and formulate business plans. Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) enables the management to assess the Company's operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation expenses, which are non-cash charges. The Company also believes that the use of the Non-GAAP measure facilitates investors' assessment of its operating performance.
Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This Non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool. One of the key limitations of using Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) is that it does not reflect all items of expense that affect the Company's operations. Share-based compensation expenses have been and may continue to be incurred in the business and are not reflected in the presentation of Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss). Further, the Non-GAAP measure may differ from the Non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.
The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the Non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance. The Company encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
Reconciliations of Cango's Non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure are included at the end of this press release.
