"Our sales net promoter score, or NPS, increased for the fourth consecutive quarter to 56, reflecting our strong brand recognition and high satisfaction rates of our quality vehicles and service capabilities from our customers," said Dai Kun, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Uxin.

The earnings report mentioned Uxin's Hefei inspection and reconditioning center (IRC), the company's second IRC after Xi'an, for the first time.

After Xi'an, Phase One of the regional IRC in Hefei has been in operation since November, 2021. The new Hefei location covers a total area of approximately 100,000 square meters with a warehousing capacity of up to 2,000 vehicles, it said.

"Going forward, we remain committed to our current direction in terms of business development and operational enhancements of our regional IRCs," Dai said.

"We will continue to strengthen our end-to-end infrastructure from vehicle sourcing, sales channels, delivery to after-sales services. We have come a long way and with this expertise, we are well positioned to bring the best-in-class car purchasing experience to our customers nationwide," he added.

The company expects fourth-quarter revenue to be RMB 480 million to RMB 500 million.
