13. FAIR VALUE AND FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Management has assessed that the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, financial assets included in prepayments, deposits and other receivables, financial liabilities included in other payables and accruals, and interest-bearing borrowings approximate to their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The Group's finance team is responsible for determining the policies and procedures for the fair value measurement of financial instruments. At the end of each reporting period, the finance team analyses the movements in the values of financial instruments and determines the major inputs applied in the valuation. The valuation is reviewed and approved by the chief financial officer.
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The Group invests in unlisted investments, which represent financial products issued by the bank. The Group has estimated the fair value of these unlisted investments by using a discounted cash flow valuation model based on the market interest rates of instruments with similar terms and risks.
Fair value hierarchy
The following tables illustrate the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Group's financial instruments:

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
INDUSTRY AND BUSINESS REVIEW
Industry Review
Data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers and the China Automobile Dealers Association shows that in the first half of 2025, China's vehicle production and sales volume exceeded 15 million units for the first time, with domestic sales reaching 12.57 million units, an increase of 11.7% year-on-year. Among these, new energy passenger vehicle sales grew by 35.5% year-on-year, while traditional fuel vehicle sales decreased by 1.8% year-on-year. This indicates that the growth in new vehicle sales was primarily driven by the increase in new energy passenger vehicle sales. From January to June 2025, the cumulative volume of used vehicles transactions nationwide reached 9.5701 million units, growing by 1.99% year-on-year, but the growth rate has slowed significantly compared to previous years. The weak growth was mainly due to insufficient demand, prompting used vehicle dealers to adopt generally conservative business strategies. While inventory levels were effectively controlled, inventory turnover efficiency did not see substantial improvement.
On 31 May 2025, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers issued a “Proposal on Maintaining Fair Competition and Promoting Healthy Industry Development” (《關於維護公平競爭秩序促進行業健康發展的倡議》), explicitly opposing disorderly “price wars” among vehicle-makers. While vehicle sales reached new highs, intensified low-price competition led by new energy vehicles has continued, resulting in record-high inventory levels for manufacturers and a continuous decline in the average transaction prices of both new and used vehicles. In May 2025, the national passenger vehicle inventory reached 3.45 million vehicles (up 160,000 year-on-year), hitting a two-year high. Profitability of dealer groups continues to decline, and the wave of 4S stores closures persisted in the first half of 2025 (4,419 stores closures in 2024). Used car transactions also faced losses and heightened risks in vehicle acquisition, posing increasingly severe challenges.

Business Review
As an intermediary that connects used vehicle buyers and sellers, we primarily provide used vehicle auction services through online-offline integrated auction, which allows used vehicle buyers across China to participate in in-lane auctions either offline in person or online via our mobile application in real-time, meanwhile granting them access to the information and valuation of the used vehicles. With our online-offline integrated auction model, coupled with our full suite of value-added services, we offer end-to-end, highly standardized and reliable solutions for used vehicle transactions, helping our sellers (primarily 4S dealership stores) and buyers (primarily Professional Buyers) optimize their used vehicle transaction process and improve efficiency and profitability of their used vehicle operations. On 31 May 2024 (the “Listing Date”), the Company was listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange with the stock code “2443”.
Despite a more challenging external economic environment and industry conditions, the Company remained committed to leveraging its core strengths, continuing to expand its large-scale customer business and laying a solid foundation for long-term vehicle sourcing. In the first half of 2025, the Company signed cooperation agreements with over 20 vehicle dealer groups, including not only national or regional traditional top-100 groups but also leading enterprises among the top domestic new energy vehicle dealer groups. Additionally, the Company has continued to innovate and expand diversified cooperation in the new energy vehicle segment of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), achieving daily dedicated auctions for new energy vehicle brands, and acting as an auction partner platform for several leading domestic OEMs’ resource vehicles. The auction model jointly innovated by Autostreets tailored to manufacturers’ needs has been promoted as a best practice case study by manufacturers. Finally, while providing bulk vehicle disposal services for mobility platforms, the Company has successfully signed cooperation agreements with two leading domestic platforms in the truck logistics vehicle asset sector, successfully launching its commercial vehicle disposal business.
Efficient business scenarios such as vehicle collection, centralized inspection, on-site bidding, and online auction synchronisation are not only distinctive advantages of Autostreets, but also form barriers that pure online bidding platforms cannot replicate. The standardised used vehicle auction centres of Autostreets in Shanghai Pudong, Chongqing Yunnan, and other locations have all commenced operations by the first half of 2025. By the end of June 2025, the Company had completed the relocation and renovation of four auction sites in Shenzhen, Kunming, Hohhot, and Linyi, added three new service centres in Sanya, Hainan; Yangquan, Shaanxi; and Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan; and optimised eight auction sites, including Shanghai Qingpu, Hangzhou, Xuzhou auction site, Tangshan auction site, Zibo auction site, Changchun auction site, Hefei auction site, and Guangzhou auction site. Currently, Autostreets has established 82 auction centres and service outlets nationwide, covering 329 cities across the country. With coverage of core economic zones and customer demand, the Company is better positioned to enhance the efficiency of vehicle allocation between regions and the participation rate of online buyers in its hybrid online-offline auction model.
In addition to business expansion and network layout, Autostreets also places strong emphasis on improving quality standards and continuously strengthens the training and development of its appraiser team. Leveraging its qualification as an authorised trainer by the China Automobile Dealers Association, by the first half of 2025, more than 92% of the employees in Autostreets's own professional assessment team had passed the training examination and obtained the "Advanced Used Vehicle Appraisal and Assessment Position Skills Certificate" (高級二手車鑒定評估師崗位技能證書) issued by the China Automobile Dealers Association, which is an industry-leading proportion.
At the same time, as a leading enterprise in China Motor Vehicle Auction Industry, it actively cooperates with the association to standardise the construction of the used vehicle industry standards. In the first half of 2025, Autostreets participated in the drafting of three industry group standards, such as the China Auction Industry Association's "Motor Vehicle Auction Inspection and Evaluation Procedures" and "Live Auction Procedures".
We generated revenue mainly from used vehicle auction and services, used vehicle value-added services, arrangement for sale of used vehicles, exhibition related services and other services.

Used Vehicle Auction Business
Used vehicle auction business is our core business and contributes a significant portion of our revenue. We pioneered a two-pronged, online-offline integrated auction model, comprising online-offline integrated auction and online auction (which is an auction model that supplements our online-offline integrated auction, in an effort to increase the vehicle visibility and enhance our transaction success rate). Our online-offline integrated transaction platform connects upstream sellers with downstream buyers of used vehicles and facilitates efficient and transparent used vehicle auction in large volumes. Meanwhile, online auctions supplement our online-offline integrated auctions and the majority of the used vehicles auctioned in our online auctions are those that were passed in during our online-offline integrated auctions.
In the first half of 2025, our transaction volume and the number of vehicles put up for auction were 74,411 units and 157,773 units respectively, achieving a slight decrease from 79,439 units and 174,180 units in the first half of 2024. During the Reporting Period, our transaction success rate (used vehicle transaction volume as a percentage of the number of used vehicles put up for auctions) was approximately 47.2%, representing an increase from 45.6% in the first half of 2024. The average revenue per vehicle during the Reporting Period decreased to RMB1,263.9 from RMB1,678.0 in the first half of 2024. In the first half of 2025, the transaction prices and volumes of used vehicles continued to decline due to the sustained decrease in new vehicle prices. The Company's used vehicle auction listings and transaction volumes were also affected, decreasing by 9.4% and 6.3% respectively compared to the same period last year. The Company implemented a series of marketing initiatives to promote transactions, aiming to maintaining a high transaction rate and transaction volume. However, the revenue per vehicle was affected by these marketing policies and decreased. Additionally, the average transaction price per vehicle also fell compared to the same period of last year, leading to the continued decline in revenue per vehicle, which is calculated on a commission basis.
Used Vehicle Value-added Services
We provide various used vehicle value-added services, either for a fee or for free, to our upstream sellers and downstream buyers. For sellers, we provide pre-acquisition inspection and appraisal, used vehicle acquisition assistance, provision of our ADMS system, and title transfer services for used vehicles not transacted on our transaction platform. For buyers, we provide used vehicle information lookup and re-inspection. We provide used vehicle information lookup and re-inspection services.
For the operation of our used vehicle value-added services during the first half of 2025, the number of used vehicles serviced in our used vehicle value-added services during the Reporting Period experienced a decrease to 89,545 units from 100,921 units in the first half of 2024. This is mainly due to the impact of the sluggish vehicle dealership industry as discussed above, with our partner dealership groups cutting back on various expenses, resulting in a decline in the volume of our used vehicle value-added services for vehicle dealership partners. The average revenue per vehicle slightly increased from RMB302.0 in the first half of 2024 to RMB317.8 during the Reporting Period, which remained generally stable.
Arrangement for Sale of Used Vehicles
We arrange for the sale of consumer trade-in vehicles at our collaborating dealership groups' 4S dealership stores to deepen the collaboration with these dealership groups and supplement the used vehicle supply on our transaction platform. Under our arrangement for sale of used vehicle business, we act as an agent for the entrusting party (the used vehicle owner or the dealership group) to dispose of used vehicles that the entrusting party entrusts to us for sale. We selectively conduct this business and primarily work with established and reputable dealership groups, ensuring that we can execute the business opportunities in a commercially viable manner.
In the first half of 2025, as the new vehicle sales businesses of our core partner vehicle-dealer groups experienced a significant decline, their used vehicle sales and purchase business also declined to varying degrees, resulting in a decrease in demand for our arrangement for sale of used vehicles services. However, as our services are charged on a fixed per-vehicle basis, there was no significant change in revenue per vehicle under our arrangement for sale of used vehicle business. Therefore, the number of consumer trade-in vehicles transacted during the Reporting Period decreased from 9,231 units in the first half of 2024 to 6,502 units, while the average revenue per vehicle slightly increased from RMB1,985.0 in the first half of 2024 to RMB2,081.5 for the Reporting Period, respectively.
Exhibition Related Services
We provide exhibition related services, primarily including (i) hosting of auto shows and exhibitions primarily for dealership groups and OEMs from time to time and (ii) occasional provision of certain advertisement services. In hosting such events, we are responsible for all material aspects of event organization, including space leasing, layout design and decoration, event promotion, participants invitation and advertisement placement. We generate revenues for our exhibition related services primarily from fees charged for exhibition booths and advertisements to the dealership groups and OEMs that participate in automotive exhibitions we host. During the Reporting Period, we continued to exploit valuable opportunities when hosting auto shows and exhibitions to approach, form strategic collaboration with, and promote our used vehicle auction services to, the participating dealership groups and OEMs.
- 21 -
Revenue from exhibition related services decreased from RMB0.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to nil for the six months ended 30 June 2025, mainly due to reduced marketing expenditures by our partnering OEMs and vehicle dealership groups, and the Company did not conduct any vehicle exhibitions during the off-season in the first half of 2025. The Company may resume such exhibitions in the second half of the year, subject to market conditions.
Others Business
We continue to address the ad hoc business needs of dealership groups that may arise from time to time, including the provision of title transfer services and GPS installation services for dealership groups' new vehicles. The dealership groups to which we provide new vehicle title transfer services are typically our existing business partners who collaborate with us with respect to its used vehicle auction and/or value-added services.
Outlook
We remain committed to transforming China's used vehicle transaction process and driving China's used vehicle industry toward standardization, efficiency, and transparency. We will continue to (i) expand and optimize our auction site network and upgrade the service facilities to strengthen the management and improve our service quality; (ii) further expand the upstream used vehicles supply sources and downstream Professional Buyer channels to grow our seller and buyer base; (iii) further improve and diversify our service offerings and revenue streams to better serve our upstream and downstream customers; (iv) strengthen our collaboration with new energy OEMs and manufacturers to enhance our ability of inspection, appraisal and trading in new energy used vehicles; (v) enhance our digitalization products and services to build a comprehensive platform for used vehicles' data, and inspection and appraisal; (vi) explore potential opportunities of strategic cooperation and acquisitions.
Material Events after the Reporting Period
Save as disclosed in this announcement, there have been no events subsequent to the Reporting Period and up to the date of this announcement which may have a material impact on the Company and the subsidiaries of the Company.
Financial Analysis
Revenue
For the six months ended 30 June 2025, our revenue was derived from (i) used vehicle auction commission and service fees; (ii) used vehicle value-added services; (iii) arrangement for sale of used vehicles; (iv) exhibition related services; and (v) other vehicle-related services.
- 22 -
For the six months ended 30 June 2025, we recorded a revenue of RMB141.8 million, representing a decrease of 25.9% as compared with RMB191.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024, which was primarily because of reduced income from used vehicle auction business, used vehicle value-added services and arrangement for sales of used vehicles.
The following table sets forth a breakdown of our revenue by business segment for the periods indicated:
| For the six months ended 30 June | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 (unaudited) | 2024 (unaudited) | |||
| RMB'000 | % | RMB'000 | % | |
| Used vehicle auction commission and service fees | 94,051 | 66.3 | 133,309 | 69.7 |
| Used vehicle value-added services | 28,456 | 20.1 | 33,179 | 17.3 |
| Arrangement for sale of used vehicles | 13,534 | 9.5 | 18,326 | 9.6 |
| Exhibition related services | - | - | 721 | 0.4 |
| Other services | 5,805 | 4.1 | 5,774 | 3.0 |
| Total | 141,846 | 100.0 | 191,309 | 100.0 |
Revenue from the used vehicle auction commission and service fees decreased by 29.4% from RMB133.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB94.1 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025, mainly because of continued downward pressure on used vehicle transaction prices and transaction volumes amidst the ongoing decline in new vehicle prices as discussed in the section headed "Business Review" above.
Revenue from used vehicle value-added services decreased by 14.2% from RMB33.2 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB28.5 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025. This was primarily due to spending cuts by our partnering dealer groups in light of the sluggish environment in automotive dealership business, resulted in less demand for used vehicle value-added services provided by us to these automotive dealership partners.
Revenue from the arrangement for sale of used vehicles decreased by 26.1% from RMB18.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB13.5 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025. This mainly reflected a significant decline in new vehicle sales among our major partnering dealer groups, which led to declines in various extents in their used vehicles sales business and, consequently, reduced demand for our arrangement for sales used vehicle services.
- 23 -
Revenue from exhibition related services decreased by 100% from RMB0.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to nil for the six months ended 30 June 2025, mainly attributable to marketing budget cuts by our major partnering OEMs and dealer groups, resulting in no automotive exhibition sales activities during the off-season in the first half of 2025.
Revenue from other vehicle-related services maintained relatively stable at RMB5.8 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
Cost of Sales
Our cost of sales consists of labor cost, professional service cost, intermediary cost and other cost. For the six months ended 30 June 2025, our cost of sales was RMB52.6 million, representing a decrease of 22.1% as compared to RMB67.6 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024. The decrease was primarily due to proportional reductions in labour cost, professional service cost and intermediary cost corresponding with the decline in transaction volumes.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
As a result of the foregoing and primarily due to the decreased revenue, our gross profit during the Reporting Period decreased by 27.9% from RMB123.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB89.2 million, and our gross profit margin for the six months ended 30 June 2025 decreased to 62.9% from 64.7% for the same period in 2024.
Selling and Distribution Expenses
Selling and distribution expenses decreased by 23.1% from RMB39.6 million in the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB30.5 million in the six months ended 30 June 2025, mainly driven by lower salary expenses.
Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses decreased by 45.5% from RMB77.2 million in the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB42.1 million in the six months ended 30 June 2025. This was mainly due to (i) the absence of listing expenses in the first half of 2025 compared with the same period in 2024, and (ii) a reduction in the number of employees in the first half of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, leading to lower salary and welfare expenses.

Other Expenses
Our other expenses primarily included the expenses in relation to subleasing certain areas of our auction sites to third parties and compensation paid to buyers for deviation in the condition of used vehicles from our inspection reports. During the Reporting Period, our other expenses decreased by 38.7% from RMB1.6 million in the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB1.0 million in the six months ended 30 June 2025, which was mainly due to a reduction in arbitration compensation payments in the first half of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
Other Income and Gains, Net
Other income and gains, net decreased by 15.3% from RMB4.5 million in the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB3.8 million in the six months ended 30 June 2025, primarily because of a decrease in subsidy payments to business partners in the first half of 2025 compared with the same period in 2024, which led to reduced interest income.
Finance Costs
Finance costs increased by 9.5% from RMB3.3 million in the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB3.6 million in the six months ended 30 June 2025, which was mainly due to an increase in outstanding loan balance to RMB126.2 million as of 30 June 2025, compared with RMB79.7 million in the same period last year.
Share of Profits and Losses of Associates
Our share of profits and losses of associates increased from nil in the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB0.1 million in the six months ended 30 June 2025, which maintained relatively stable.
Fair Value Change of Financial Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss
We recorded gains of RMB0.04 million and gains/losses of nil in fair value change of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss in the six months ended 30 June 2024 and the same period in 2025.
We recorded losses of RMB142.3 million and gains/losses of nil for fair value change of financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss in the six months ended 30 June 2024 and the same period in 2025, with such decrease primarily attributable to all convertible redeemable preferred shares being automatically converted into ordinary Shares upon the completion of the Global Offering on 31 May 2024.
Profit/loss before Tax
Our profit/loss before tax increased by 111.8% from a loss before tax of RMB135.7 million in the six months ended 30 June 2024 to a profit before tax of RMB16.0 million for the Reporting Period, primarily attributable to the absence of fair value changes and no listing expenses incurred in the first half of 2025.
Income Tax Expenses
Income tax expenses decreased by 50.4% from RMB6.5 million in the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB3.2 million for the Reporting Period, which was mainly due to a decline in the Company's profit before tax in the first half of 2025 compared with the same period in 2024.
Profit for the Reporting Period
As a result of the foregoing, our profit for the Reporting Period increased by 109.0% to RMB12.8 million from a loss of RMB142.2 million in the six months ended 30 June 2024, primarily due to the combined effects as detailed above.
