Chairman, CEO and CFO Comments
Mr. Chongfeng Shen, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "In a challenging macroeconomic environment, our topline experienced a year-over-year decline during the third quarter, largely due to a decrease in revenue from cloud services platform as we strategically phase out that segment. Nonetheless, we are encouraged by the sustained growth momentum in overseas markets reflected in the 23.4% year-over-year increase in revenue from third-party overseas customers during the first three quarters of the year. This achievement demonstrates the growing recognition our products and services are receiving from international customers. This is the result of our efforts to upgrade and integrate products, deepen customer engagement, develop innovative and collaborative business models, and expand overseas. Additionally, we achieved further year-over-year loss reduction through effective expense control measures. Looking forward, we remain steadfast in our commitment to strengthening our product competence leveraging AI technologies, capitalizing on overseas market opportunities, and enhancing operational efficiency as we pursue our mid-term profitability goal."
Mr. Rubo Lin, Chief Financial Officer, commented, "In the third quarter of 2024, our net loss from continuing operations attributable to shareholders narrowed by 41.9% year-over-year. This improvement benefited from our continued financial discipline, which drove a 47.8% year-over-year decrease in operating expenses from continuing operations. Our IFRS gross margin and non-IFRS gross margin of continuing operations stood at 32.7% and 35.6% for the quarter, respectively. Going forward, we will focus on delivering more high-value products and enhancing our product standardization rate to expand our gross margin. Meanwhile, we will continue to optimize our cost structure while strategically investing in overseas expansion, and deepening partnerships with strategic and premium-plus customers. We are confident that these strategic initiatives will drive our future growth, creating additional value for our customers and shareholders."

Revenue from continuing operations was RMB417 million in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of 48.3% from RMB807 million during the same period last year, primarily due to a decrease of RMB292 million in revenue from cloud services platform. Implementation revenue was RMB167 million in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of 4.7% from RMB175 million during the same period last year, mainly due to a decrease in demand for implementation of financial services systems in China. Revenue from business origination services was RMB6 million in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of 78.0% from RMB27 million during the same period last year, primarily due to a decrease in transaction volumes from loan origination systems under digital credit management solutions. Revenue from risk management services was RMB60 million in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of 21.8% from RMB77 million during the same period last year, mainly due to a decrease in transaction volumes from banking related risk analytic solutions.

Revenue from cloud services platform was RMB6 million in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of 98.1% from RMB297 million during the same period last year, primarily due to the strategic phasing out of the cloud services since July 2024, details of which were previously disclosed in our announcement dated July 11, 2024 regarding an update on our business operations.

Use of Unaudited Non-IFRS Financial Measures
The unaudited consolidated financial information is prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") . Non-IFRS measures are used in gross profit and gross margin, adjusted to exclude non-cash items, which consist of amortization of intangible assets recognized in cost of revenue, depreciation of property and equipment recognized in cost of revenue, and share-based compensation expenses recognized in cost of revenue. OneConnect's management regularly review non-IFRS gross profit and non-IFRS gross margin to assess the performance of our business. By excluding non-cash items, these financial metrics allow OneConnect's management to evaluate the cash conversion of one dollar revenue on gross profit. OneConnect uses these non-IFRS financial measures to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. OneConnect believes that non-IFRS financial information, when taken collectively, is helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance, facilitates period-to-period comparisons of results of operations, and assists in comparisons with other companies, many of which use similar financial information. OneConnect also believes that presentation of the non-IFRS financial measures provides useful information to its investors regarding its results of operations because it allows investors greater transparency to the information used by OneConnect's management in its financial and operational decision making so that investors can see through the eyes of the OneConnect's management regarding important financial metrics that the management uses to run the business as well as allowing investors to better understand OneConnect's performance. However, non-IFRS financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with IFRS, and may be different from similarly-titled non-IFRS measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-IFRS financial measure in isolation from or as an alternative to the financial measure prepared in accordance with IFRS. Whenever OneConnect uses a non-IFRS financial measure, a reconciliation is provided to the most closely applicable financial measure stated in accordance with IFRS. You are encouraged to review the related IFRS financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-IFRS financial measures to their most directly comparable IFRS financial measures. For more information on non-IFRS financial measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliation of IFRS and non-IFRS results (Unaudited)" set forth at the end of this press release.
