CHENGDU, China, March 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — 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 February 2022. In February 2022, Senmiao reported over 0.7 million total completed orders, a sequential decrease from the over 0.9 million total orders completed in January 2022 as a result of seasonality driven by the Lunar New Year holiday in China and local resurgence of COVID-19 cases in Senmiao’s key cities. The number of completed rides decreased in the first half of February 2022 due to the national holiday but rose back to pre-holiday levels in the third week of the month. 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 15.5 million rides have been completed using its platform. Approximately 3.3 million rides have been completed on the Major Platform under Senmiao’s new partnership with Meituan, since its commencement in August 2021. The number of drivers completing rides via the platform (known as Active Drivers) in February 2022 was 6,008, a decrease of approximately 15.2% from 7,085 in January 2022.
The table below presents approximate unaudited operating metrics of Senmiao’s online ride-hailing platform since its launch in October 2020.

If the rider selects Senmiao, the order will then be distributed to registered drivers on Senmiao’s platform for viewing and acceptance. Senmiao earns commissions for each completed order based on a certain percentage of the value of the order. |
