Second Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights Mr. Weidong Luo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Aurora Mobile, commented, The appropriate description for the performance of this quarter is Riding on the Great Growth Momentum. The reasons for this description are as follows: Mr. Shan-Nen Bong, Chief Financial Officer of Aurora Mobile, added, We have had a great quarter. Our total group revenue grew both quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year with 23% and 8%, respectively. Subscription Services revenues of RMB48.1 million were showing great growth where it grew by 14% quarter-over-quarter and 19% year-over-year, driven by growth in EngageLab business and improvement in ARPU. Value-added services revenues increased by 245% quarter-over-quarter which was due to the 6/18 online shopping festival in Q2 where online advertisers have increased their ads spending. Overall Vertical applications revenues had recorded a great quarter where revenue grew by 16% quarter-over-quarter and 8% year-over-year. This was driven by Financial Risk Management where its revenue grew by 28% quarter-over-quarter and 34% year-over-year fueled by a strong 30% customer number growth. With strong and solid revenue growth while maintaining optimal level of operating expenses, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, we recorded yet another positive Adjusted EBITDA. This is an historical event where we now have 4 consecutive quarters of positive Adjusted EBITDA. Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results Revenues were RMB79.4 million (US$10.9 million), an increase of 8% from RMB73.3 million in the same quarter of last year, attributable to an 8% increase in revenue from both Developer Services and Vertical Applications. Cost of revenues was RMB26.7 million (US$3.7 million), an increase of 4% from RMB25.6 million in the same quarter of last year. The increase was mainly due to a RMB2.1 million increase in short messaging cost and a RMB0.9 million increase in other direct costs, and offset by a RMB2.4 million decrease in media cost. Gross profit was RMB52.8 million (US$7.3 million), an increase of 11% from RMB47.7 million in the same quarter of last year. Total operating expenses were RMB54.8 million (US$7.5 million), a decrease of 15% from RMB64.1 million in the same quarter of last year. Loss from operations was RMB1.0 million (US$0.1 million), compared with RMB14.8 million in the same quarter of last year. Net Loss was RMB1.3 million (US$0.2 million), compared with RMB23.7 million in the same quarter of last year. Adjusted net loss (non-GAAP) was RMB0.4 million (US$54 thousand), compared with RMB8.9 million in the same quarter of last year. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was at positive RMB1.6 million (US$0.2 million) compared with a negative RMB4.6 million for the same quarter of last year. The cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were RMB92.7 million (US$12.8 million) as of June 30, 2024 compared with RMB115.0 million as of December 31, 2023. Update on Share Repurchase As of June 30, 2024, the Company had repurchased a total of 216,643 ADS, of which 11,626 ADSs, or around US$36.1 thousand were repurchased during the second quarter in 2024. Conference Call The Company will host an earnings conference call on Thursday, August 29, 2024 at 7:30 a.m. U.S. Eastern Time (7:30 p.m. Beijing time on the same day). All participants must register in advance to join the conference using the link provided below. Please dial in 15 minutes before the call is scheduled to begin. Conference access information will be provided upon registration. Participant Online Registration: https://register.vevent.com/register/BIdc3f18de42e247d3a31f621244e171b9 A live and archived webcast of the conference call will be available on the Investor Relations section of Aurora Mobile's website at https://ir.jiguang.cn/. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses two non-GAAP measures, adjusted net loss and adjusted EBITDA, as a supplemental measure to review and assess its 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. The Company defines adjusted net loss as net loss excluding share-based compensation, reduction in force charges and impairment of long-term investments. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net loss excluding interest expense, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of land use right, income tax expenses/(benefits), share-based compensation, reduction in force charges and impairment of long-term investments. The Company believes that adjusted net loss and adjusted EBITDA help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that it includes in loss from operations and net loss. The Company believes that adjusted net 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 the management in their 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 loss and adjusted EBITDA is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company's operations. 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 compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance. The Company encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure are included at the end of this press release.

Aurora Mobile Limited, a leading provider of customer engagement and marketing technology services in China, has released its unaudited financial results for the second quarter of 2024, showing a decline in revenues but improvements in gross margin and adjusted EBITDA.
Aurora Mobile Limited (NASDAQ: JG) has announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024. The company, known for its customer engagement and marketing technology services in China, reported a mixed bag of results, reflecting both challenges and improvements in various aspects of its business 1.
The company's total revenues for Q2 2024 stood at RMB61.1 million (US$8.4 million), marking a 21% decrease year-over-year. This decline was primarily attributed to a reduction in demand for targeted marketing services, which saw revenues fall by 39% compared to the same period last year 2.
Despite the revenue challenges, Aurora Mobile demonstrated effective cost management. The cost of revenues decreased by 31% year-over-year to RMB18.9 million (US$2.6 million), outpacing the rate of revenue decline. This resulted in an improved gross margin of 69%, up from 64% in Q2 2023 1.
The company's efforts to streamline operations and reduce expenses were evident in the financial results. Operating expenses saw a significant reduction of 24% year-over-year, totaling RMB67.4 million (US$9.3 million). This decrease was driven by lower labor costs and professional service fees 3.
Notably, Aurora Mobile reported an improvement in adjusted EBITDA, which narrowed to negative RMB5.3 million (US$0.7 million) from negative RMB9.8 million in Q2 2023. This represents a 46% improvement year-over-year, indicating progress towards profitability 2.
Despite the overall revenue decline, Aurora Mobile saw growth in its Developer Services. The number of paying customers for this segment increased to 3,112 in Q2 2024 from 2,831 in the same quarter of 2023, demonstrating the company's ability to attract and retain clients in this area 1.
The company continued to invest in product development, with particular focus on AI-powered solutions. Aurora Mobile integrated ChatGPT capabilities into its products, aiming to enhance user engagement and operational efficiency for its customers 3.
While facing market challenges, Aurora Mobile maintained its position as a leading provider of customer engagement and marketing technology services in China. The company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Weidong Luo, expressed confidence in the company's strategy, emphasizing the focus on high-margin businesses and cost optimization 2.
As Aurora Mobile navigates through the current market conditions, its improved gross margin and adjusted EBITDA suggest a path towards enhanced profitability. The company's continued investment in AI technologies and focus on developer services may provide avenues for future growth in the evolving Chinese tech landscape.
