Executive Commentary
Chaohui Chen, Director and Chief Executive Officer of UCLOUDLINK, noted, “In 2022, we were pleased to achieve positive operating cash flow of US$4.4 million, a milestone for our Company since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our overall gross margin improved significantly in 2022 to 45.5%, which compared to 29.6% in 2021 and even surpassed pre-pandemic gross margin of 41.0% in 2019. For fiscal year 2022, we achieved significantly improved bottom-line results on relatively consistent revenues. As international travel recovered over the course of the second half of 2022, our 1.0 international data connectivity business also expanded, which drove an improved overall gross margin profile for the year. In 2022, we made progress toward becoming a leading 5G roaming solution provider and continued working to expand our diverse IoT partner network. We were pleased with the service and product contributions that we were able to provide for our partners’ products, including new application scenarios such as electric vehicles and IP Cameras. Japan and the North American markets continued to account for over 75% of our revenues, highlighting UCLOUDLINK’s global competency as a provider of high-quality data connectivity services.”
Mr. Chen continued, “We are enthusiastic about the opportunities we see before us in 2023. According to the latest UNWTO Barometer, the 2023 international tourist arrival number will recover to 80%-95% of pre-pandemic levels, and we expect to see continued positive momentum in our 1.0 business with the lifting of China’s Zero-COVID policy and faster-paced recovery in our other markets. With increased brand awareness and an established commercial reputation, we expect PaaS/SaaS platform services derived from 1.0 international and 2.0 local data connectivity business to seize a larger market share in existing markets. On the IoT side, the Company continues to serve its existing partners while exploring opportunities in new industries and new application scenarios in markets where we have a strong presence. Having overcome the various challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, we have renewed confidence in our ability to serve our customers and partners with a best-in-class portfolio of services and products with our proprietary HyperConn and cloud SIM technologies, which elevates their connection experiences and fuels the long-term development of our mobile data traffic sharing marketplace.”
Yimeng Shi, Chief Financial Officer of UCLOUDLINK, stated, “We significantly narrowed our losses on a year-over-year basis attributable from improvement of gross margin and cost-cutting initiatives including streamlining our workforce. This enabled us to realize positive adjusted EBITDA of US$1.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to negative adjusted EBITDA of US$5.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. We believe we are well positioned to grow our business while strengthening our financial position and creating increased value for our shareholders.”

- Revenues from data connectivity services were US$9.6 million, representing an increase of 43.2% from US$6.7 million in the same period of 2021.

Business Outlook

For 2023, UCLOUDLINK expects total revenues to be between US$85.0 million and US$100.0 million, representing an increase of 19.0% to 40.1% from that of 2022.
The above outlook is based on current market conditions and reflects the Company’s preliminary estimates of market and operating conditions and customer demand, particularly in light of the potential impact of COVID-19. The global outbreak of COVID-19, which had a severe and negative impact on the global economy since the first quarter of 2020, presents continuous and various global risks with the full impact of the outbreak continuing to evolve. We will continue to carefully monitor COVID-19 related factors.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, this press release presents, adjusted net income/loss and adjusted EBITDA, as supplemental measures to review and assess the Company’s operating performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures 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. Adjusted net income/loss is defined as net loss excluding share-based compensation, fair value gain/loss in other investment and share of profit/loss in equity method investment, net of tax. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss excluding share-based compensation, fair value gain/loss in other investment, share of profit/loss in equity method investment, net of tax, interest expense, income tax expenses and depreciation and amortization.
The Company believes that adjusted net income/loss and adjusted EBITDA help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that are included in loss from operations and net loss. The Company believes that adjusted net income/loss and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.
The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using adjusted net income/loss and adjusted EBITDA is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations. Share-based compensation, fair value gain/loss in other investment and share of profit/loss in equity method investment, net of tax, have been and may continue to be incurred in the Company’s business and is not reflected in the presentation of adjusted net loss. Further, the non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.
The Company compensate 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 its performance. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
Reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is set forth at the end of this release.
