Ideanomics Third Quarter 2019 Operating Results

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $3.1 million as compared to $43.7 million for the same period in 2018, a decrease of approximately $40.6 million, or 93%. The decrease was mainly due to a change to our business focus from logistics management to Electric Vehicles and Fintech businesses.  Our business strategy and the primary goal for entering the crude oil and electronic trading businesses was to learn about the needs of buyers and sellers in these industries that rely heavily on the shipment of goods. Our activities in the crude oil trading and electronic trading business have been successful in various aspects in 2018, and for strategic reasons we have now phased out of our crude oil trading business and electronics trading business so that we can work towards enabling the application of our Fintech Ecosystem for other useful cases that we have identified.

Cost of revenues was approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $42.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of approximately $42.6 million, or 99%. From a comparability perspective, the cost of revenue during 2018 is not necessarily indicative of the Electric Vehicles and Fintech businesses in 2019. The cost of revenue during 2018 was primarily associated with the logistics management business (oil trading and electronics trading), which traditionally has a very high cost of revenue and low gross margin, while the cost of revenue during the third quarter of 2019 is primarily associated with subsidiaries including Grapevine and DBOT. 

Our gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $2.9 million, as compared to $0.9 million during the same period in 2018, representing an increase of 231%. The gross profit ratio for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was 92%, as compared to 2% during the same period in 2018.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $7.8 million as compared to $4.3 million for the same period in 2018, an increase of approximately $3.5 million or 79%. Majority of the increase was due to:

Professional fees are generally related to public company reporting and governance expenses as well as legal fees related to business transition and expansion. Our professional fees for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $1.4 million as compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2018, a decrease of approximately $0.5 million. The decrease was related to a decrease in legal, valuation, audit and tax as well as fees associated with continuing to build out our technology ecosystem and establishing strategic partnerships and M&A activity as part of this technology ecosystem.

Net loss per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 was $(0.11) per share, as compared to a loss per share for the same period in 2018 of $(0.10) per share. As of September 30, 2019, the company had cash of $1.7 million, total assets of $164.8 million, total liabilities of $47.3 million and total equity of $116.2 million.
