Senmiao Technology Announces Ride-Hailing Platform Operating Metrics for January 2022

CHENGDU,China,Feb. 11,2022 -- 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 January 2022. In January 2022,Senmiao reported over 0.9 million total completed orders,a 10.9% decrease from approximately 1.1 million total orders completed in December 2021,as a result of pandemic-related travel restrictions that impacted tourism in Senmiao's key cities such as Chengdu,Changsha and Guangzhou.Seasonality driven by the Lunar New Year holiday in China was also behind the decrease. The number of completed rides decreased in the weeks before and after the national holiday on February 1,2022,which is expected to also impact the number of completed orders in February 2022. Numbers reported since August 2021 include the number of completed orders from Meituan's ride-hailing platform ("the Major Platform") 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,approximately 15.1 million rides have been completed using its platform. Approximately 3.0 million rides have been completed on the Major Platform under Senmiao's new partnership with Meituan,which commenced in August 2021. The number of drivers completing rides via the platform (known as Active Drivers) in January 2022 was 7,085,a decrease of approximately 10% from that of December 2021.

The table below presents approximate unaudited operating metrics of Senmiao's online ride-hailing platform since its launch in October 2020.
