Mr. Xi Zeng, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FangDD, commented, "In 2022, new property sales decreased by 26.7% year-over-year in China, which represents the largest decline on record, leading to the outbreak of real estate developer liquidity risk. In 2022, the Company continued to control risks and losses to survive the market downturn. Going forward, the Company will proactively shrink the transaction size on our marketplace for new property business and improve the account-receivable management to control the operation risk caused by developer credit risk outbreak. The Company plans to strengthen cooperation with high-quality developers and carry out new projects with caution. At the same time, the Company will continue to explore the second growth curve in combination with the Company's existing strengths and the industry's new trajectory."

**Full Year 2022 Financial Results**

***REVENUE***

Revenue in 2022 decreased by 73.9% to RMB245.9 million (US$35.7 million) from RMB942.4 million in 2021. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in total closed-loop GMV facilitated on the Company's platform by 72.6% to RMB22.5 billion (US$3.3 billion) from RMB82.2 billion in 2021, which in turn resulted from i) the continued property market downturn and the Company's actions to cease business cooperation with high credit risk developers to avoid further losses caused by developer credit risk, ii) the resurgence of COVID-19 outbreaks in China, which significantly affected the Company's business development, and iii) the measures that the Company has taken to reduce its business scale of new property and resale property transaction service business to minimize its exposure to the systematic risk of real estate industry in the continued downturn.

***COST OF REVENUE***

Cost of revenue in 2022 decreased by 73.5% to RMB221.2 million (US$32.1 million) from RMB835.9 million in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the significant drop in revenue for both new property and resale property transaction services, which resulted in a decrease in the commission fees payable to agents for their services rendered.

***GROSS PROFIT AND GROSS MARGIN***

Gross profit in 2022 decreased by 76.8% to RMB24.7 million (US$3.6 million) from RMB106.5 million in 2021. Gross margin in 2022 decreased to 10.1% from 11.3% in 2021.The decrease was mainly because: i) we strategically adjusted our resale property and new property business scale to cease business cooperation with high credit risk developers to avoid further losses due to continuous downturn of real estate transactions market, which resulted in a significant decrease of the gross profit, and ii) the development of other value added services offered to various platform participants with higher gross profit margins has not yet reached a scale, so its contribution to our gross profit is currently limited.

***OPERATING EXPENSES***

Operating expenses in 2022, which included share-based compensation expenses of RMB RMB16.7 million (US$2.4 million), decreased by 74.2% to RMB274.1 million (US$39.7 million) from RMB1,063.8 million, which included share-based compensation expenses of RMB47.1 million, in 2021.

● Sales and marketing expenses in 2022 decreased to RMB13.2 million (US$1.9 million) from RMB64.9 million in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the optimization of the sales department composition, the reduced spending on marketing activities related to new property transaction services, and reduced scale of the resale property transactions.

● Product development expenses in 2022 decreased to RMB66.0 million (US$9.6 million) from RMB167.5 million in 2021. The decrease was attributable to the decreases in personnel-related expenses following the Company's decision to significantly cut investments in research and development for resale property business.

● General and administrative expenses in 2022 decreased to RMB195.0 million (US$28.3 million) from RMB831.4 million in 2021. The decrease was mainly due to: i) the decrease in provision of impairment of certain assets, such as accounts receivable due from developers, other accounts receivable of project deposits and short-term investments, and ii) the actions that the Company has taken to improve operating efficiency, including the action to reduce redundant positions, due to the expected continuation of the current market condition in the foreseeable future.

***NET LOSS***

Net loss in 2022 was RMB239.6 million (US$34.7 million), compared to a net loss of RMB1203.0 million in 2021.

Non-GAAP net loss in 2022 was RMB222.9 million (US$32.3 million), compared to non-GAAP net loss of RMB1,155.9 million in 2021.

***NET LOSS PER ADS***

Basic and diluted net loss per ADS in 2022 were both RMB43.88 (US$6.36). In comparison, the Company's basic and diluted net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders per ADS in 2021 were both RMB217.13. Each ADS currently represents 375 Class A ordinary shares of the Company.

**Liquidity**

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments of RMB184.7 million (US$26.8 million), short-term bank borrowings of RMB72.5 million (US$10.5 million), and un-utilized bank facilities of RMB80.0 million (US$11.60 million). In 2022, net cash used in operating activities was RMB127.0 million (US$18.4 million).

**Recent Development**

On March 2, 2023, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with several investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue an aggregate of 1,000,000 ADSs to such investors at a purchase price of US$0.6208 per ADS in a registered direct offering. On March 3, 2023, 322,164 ADSs were issued to one investor at the first closing. The offering is subject to terms and conditions, among others, that the closings shall consummate on or before March 16, 2023. As the additional closings did not take place by such date, the Company and the investors have mutually agreed to terminate the agreements. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes.

**Exchange Rate**

This press release contains translations of certain Renminbi amounts into U.S. dollars at specified rates solely for the convenience of readers. Unless otherwise noted, all translations from Renminbi to U.S. dollars, in this press release, were made at a rate of RMB6.8972 to US$1.00, the exchange rate set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board on December 30, 2022. The Company makes no representation that the Renminbi or U.S. dollar amounts referred could be converted into U.S. dollar or Renminbi, as the case may be, at any particular rate or at all.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, this press release presents non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net margin by excluding share-based compensation expenses from income (loss) from operations and net income (loss). The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are important to help investors understand the Company's operating and financial performance, compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and assess the Company's core operating results, as they exclude certain expenses that are not expected to result in cash payments. Using the above non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations. Share-based compensation expenses have been and will continue to be incurred in the future and are not reflected in the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures, but should be considered in the overall evaluation of the Company's results. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to financial measures prepared under U.S. GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared under U.S. GAAP. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures, which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance. Reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is set forth at the end of this release.
