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

CHENGDU,China,Oct. 12,2022 -- 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 September 2022. In September 2022,Senmiao and its affiliates reported over 0.5 million total completed orders,which compared to over 1.0 million total orders completed in August 2022. The decrease was the result of online ride-hailing services being suspended in Chengdu,one of Senmiao's key cities,for the first 18 days of September due to a local resurgence of COVID-19 cases.

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. Numbers reported since April 2022 include the number of completed orders from three other ride-hailing platforms in Chengdu,Xiehua,Anma and Xiaoma,under the same cooperation model as Meituan.

Since the launch of Senmiao's online ride-hailing platform in October 2020,approximately 19.4million rides have been completed using its platform. Approximately 4.9 million rides have been completed on the Major Platform under Senmiao's partnership with Meituan. Over 843,000 rides have been completed on Xiehua,Anma and Xiaoma since April 2022. The number of drivers completing rides via the platforms (known as Active Drivers) in September 2022 was 6,030,down approximately 11.0% from 6,778 in August 2022.

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