Total revenues in the second quarter of 2019 were RMB336.3 million (US$49.0 million),representing a 42.3% increase from RMB236.3 million in the corresponding period of 2018.

Cost of revenue in the second quarter of 2019 increased by 55.0% to RMB125.8 million (US$18.3 million) from RMB81.2 million in the corresponding period of 2018.

Cost of revenue as a percentage of total revenues in the second quarter of 2019 increased to 37.4% from 34.4% in the corresponding period of 2018. This was primarily due to increasesin the amount of incentives paid to employees per individual financing transaction.

Sales and marketing expenses in the second quarter of 2019 increased by 20.3% to RMB44.5 million (US$6.5 million) from RMB37.0 million in the corresponding period of 2018.The increase was due to increases in travel expenses as a result of the Company's business expansion and higher share-based compensation expenses.

General and administrative expenses were RMB53.4 million (US$7.8 million),or 15.9% of total revenues,in the second quarter of 2019,compared to RMB31.4 million,or 13.3% of total revenue,in the corresponding period of 2018. The increase was mainly due to higher share-based compensation expenses in the second quarter of 2019.

Research and development expenses in the second quarter of 2019 increased by 29.2% to RMB12.3 million (US$1.8 million) from RMB9.5 million in the corresponding period of 2018.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

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,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,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 as net income 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 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 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 analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using Non-GAAP adjusted net income 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. 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.
