Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended December 31, 2023
Revenue
We generate revenue from providing one-stop online marketing solutions, including traffic acquisition from mainstream online media platforms, content production, data analysis and advertising campaign optimization, to advertisers through the operating entity. Net revenue was $9.16 million and $23.50 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively. The increase in our revenue is mainly attributable to the increase in the number of clients we served, which increased from 183 for the six months ended December 31, 2022 to 338 in the comparative period ended December 31,2023, as well as an increase in the average revenue per client from $50,070 for the six months ended December 31, 2022 to $69,538 for the six months ended December 31, 2023. The higher average revenue per client in the current year is mainly attributable to higher advertisement expenditure by our health care industry clients.
The average revenue per client under our advertisement pricing model consists of two components: 1) the average per unit-of-service price, which is the average price per click-through that we charge our advertiser customers, and 2) the quantity of services, which is actual number of click-throughs with respect to each advertiser. The following table shows the components that impact our revenue and their correlation.
| Six Months Ended December 31, | ||||||||||
| 2022 | 2023 | |||||||||
| Revenue per click-through ($) | a | 0.51 | 0.97 | |||||||
| Average number of click-throughs with respect to each advertiser client | b | 98,432 | 71,627 | |||||||
| Average revenue per client ($) | c=a*b | 50,070 | 69,538 | |||||||
| Number of clients | d | 183 | 338 | |||||||
| Revenue ($) | e=c*d | 9,162,832 | 23,503,910 | |||||||
The increase in the revenue per click-through was higher in the current period mainly due to the increasing popularity of ByteDance media platforms, which we mainly collaborated with through ByteDance’s subsidiary, Ocean Engine. For the six months ended December 31, 2023, a growing number of our advertiser clients have chosen to place ads on ByteDance’s media platforms. In addition, the costs we paid to Ocean Engine to acquire user traffic for our clients’ ads were increased, leading to an increase in our service charge.
Cost of revenue
Our cost of revenue consists primarily of the purchase of online traffic from third-party media platforms after deducting rebates, and salaries and benefits for business operation staff. The cost of revenue increased by $13.87 million or 164%, from $8.43 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022 to $22.30 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in cost of revenue was basically in line with the increase in revenue.
Gross profit and gross margin
Our gross profit increased by $0.47 million, from $0.73 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022 to $1.20 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue (“profit margin”) was 5.11% for the six months ended December 31, 2023, lower than 7.97% for the six months ended December 31, 2022, mainly due to market competition. The Company needed to provide rebates to some customers, in order to maintain and expand the customer base.
Selling and marketing expenses
Our selling and marketing expenses primarily consist of payroll costs and office related expenses. Selling and marketing expenses increased by 44% from $14,312 in the six months ended December 31,2022 to $20,564 in the six months ended December 31, 2023. It was mainly due to an increase in bonuses paid to our sales staff, which were calculated based on sales performance.
General and administrative expenses
Our general and administrative expenses mainly consist of salaries and bonuses, as well as administrative related expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $132,326, or 66%, from $199,284 for the six months ended December 31, 2022 to $331,610 for the six months ended December 31, 2023. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in salary and bonuses of the management team and professional fees in connection with our IPO.
Research and development expenses
Our R&D expenses mainly consist of salaries and benefits of our R&D staff developing Bidding Compass and our online ads bidding analysis software. R&D expenses increased by $7,000, or 29%, from $23,842 for the six months ended December 31, 2022 to $30,842 for the six months ended December 31, 2023. It was mainly attributable to the increase in salaries of R&D staff.
Income taxes
We had income taxes of $39,001 and $40,030 for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively.
Net (loss)/income
As a result of the foregoing, we had net income of $0.45 million and $0.76 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively.
