src=\"https://fid-75186.picgzc.qpic.cn/20220831173154703v197vaxe6njnu0p\"/>Image source @<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/000681\">Visual China</a></p><p>By BT Finance, Author: Wuji</p><p>Celebrity stock Voice Network is mired in losses.</p><p>On August 16, SoundNet, once highly sought after by capital, released its financial report for the second quarter of 2022. In the second quarter, SoundNet's total revenue was US$40.98 million, a year-on-year decrease of 3.2%. In the first half of the year, SoundNet's total operating revenue was US$79.56 million, a year-on-year decrease of 4%. The company reported a net loss of $30.7 million for the quarter, compared to $15.4 million in the same period last year. The net loss increased by 99.4% year-on-year, almost doubling, setting a new record for losses.</p><p>SoundNet is very satisfied with its quarterly financial report. Zhao Bin, founder and CEO of SoundNet, said, \"Our operating results in the second quarter were strong, returning to the quarterly growth trend. SoundNet's real-time interactive cloud services are widely recognized in the global market, and user demand is increasing.\"</p><p><img src=\"https://fid-75186.picgzc.qpic.cn/20220831173157871v1972yv18f70fwe\"/>In the capital market, this is certainly not a satisfactory answer for investors. SoundNet did not provide much interpretation of the losses, nor did it introduce how to reduce them in the future. Instead, it repeatedly emphasized that \"SoundNet provides scenario solution services and has always maintained the number one position in the RTC (audio and video communication) market share, and that more and more innovative scenarios will be discovered in the future.\" In fact, investors are more concerned about how SoundNet can reduce losses and how to make a profit.</p><p><img src=\"https://fid-75186.picgzc.qpic.cn/20220831173158552v1972k9w2i75kp9\"/>Zhao Bin's confidence failed to gain recognition from the capital market. After the financial report was released, Shengwang's stock price fell sharply. On August 30, the stock price was $4.14 during trading, a drop of nearly 80% from the issue price of $20 per share. On its first day of trading, Shengwang opened at $45.00 per share and closed at $50.50 per share, a 152.5% increase from the issue price. The highest point of the stock price was $114.97 per share in February 2021. At its peak, Shengwang's market value had evaporated by 96.4%.</p><p>I wonder if Shengwang is still satisfied with this result?<strong>Seven consecutive quarters of losses</strong></p><p>Shengwang is a B2B service provider that offers live streaming services on Momo.<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LIZI\">lychee</a>All voice live streaming services are backed by the technical support of SoundNet. It primarily provides developers with a variety of services such as real-time video and real-time audio, covering more than 20 industry sectors and more than 200 scenarios. Education is one of the most important pillars of SoundNet, and online education once supported most of SoundNet's paying users.</p><p>The COVID-19 pandemic that emerged at the end of 2019 directly boosted online education, causing education to rapidly shift from offline to online, which brought considerable revenue to Shengwang. In March 2020 alone, SoundNet's online education customer base increased more than sevenfold. In 2020, online education institutions contributed 14% of revenue, and the revenue share further climbed to 25% in the second quarter of 2021.</p><p>With the implementation of the double reduction policy in July 2021, K-12 online education in China almost suffered a catastrophe. This \"total annihilation\" led to the loss of some of Shengwang's education customers. In the fourth quarter of 2021, revenue declined by more than 10 percentage points quarter-on-quarter, and in this quarter, revenue declined by 3.2% year-on-year. It can be seen that the loss of online education customers has had a significant impact on Shengwang.</p><p>Before the implementation of the \"double reduction\" policy, SoundNet's net expansion rate based on US dollars reached 131% in the first quarter of 2021. After the implementation of the \"double reduction\" policy, this figure dropped to 95% in the second quarter of 2022. It is evident that online education customers are Shengwang's main customers, and the loss of cornerstone users has become a major reason for Shengwang's turnaround from profit to loss.</p><p><img src=\"https://fid-75186.picgzc.qpic.cn/20220831173205341v1972xtu86du5yy\"/>Financial data from recent quarters shows that SoundNet was once profitable, with profits of around $3 million in the first and second quarters of 2020 respectively. However, it subsequently turned from profit to loss, and has been in a loss-making state since the third quarter of 2020. Apart from profits of around $3 million in the first and second quarters, all other quarterly reports are in a loss-making state. So far, seven quarterly reports have shown losses to varying degrees. The full fiscal year with the smallest loss was 2020, with a loss of $3.12 million.</p><p>SoundNet's largest full-year loss was in 2021, reaching $72.36 million. The total loss in the first and second quarters of 2022 was $57.62 million, bringing the cumulative loss to $140 million. It only took Shengwang two years to go from a profitable company to one that was constantly losing money.</p><p><img src=\"https://fid-75186.picgzc.qpic.cn/20220831173206112v1974mb4c54d7g1\"/>To explore new business growth, in the fourth quarter of 2021, SoundNet announced its entry into metaverse. At that time, metaverse was very popular, and SoundNet hoped that this following trend would improve its deteriorating financial situation. It successively launched three major solutions for the fields of interactive social networking, karaoke and live streaming: YuanYuChat, YuanKaraoke and YuanLive. However, metaverse is currently in the early stages of development, and these new businesses launched by SoundNet are not yet mature and will take time to be implemented. It is unrealistic to expect to gain revenue in the short term.</p><p>Fang Junhua, a cloud service practitioner, believes that Shengwang's entry into metaverse is not only due to its own business development bottlenecks and its desire to seek new growth points, but also an explanation to investors. After all, its market value has evaporated by nearly 97% in the two years since its listing, which will never satisfy investors.</p><p>Fang Junhua pointed out: \"Investors have begun to vote with their feet in the face of Sheng.com's repeated poor performance. The original major shareholders, such as Shunwei Capital and Coatue PE Asia, have all disappeared. To some extent, the significant reduction in holdings indicates that investors are not optimistic about Sheng.com's development prospects. If it cannot find new business growth points, Sheng.com's losses will continue.\"<strong>\"False Prosperity\" of User Growth</strong></p><p>Sheng.com's biggest troubles stem not only from its revenue, but also from problems with its users.</p><p>Financial reports show that as of the second quarter of 2022, SoundNet had more than 475,000 registered applications worldwide, a year-on-year increase of 41%, and the number of active customers worldwide reached 2,877, a year-on-year increase of 17.5%. This seemingly impressive data is, after all, the number of users is an important indicator of a company's value.</p><p>However, the so-called active customer standard defined by SoundNet is not high; anyone who spends more than $100 on SoundNet is considered an active customer. In fact, from the second quarter of 2021 to the end of this quarter, the absolute number of active users of Shengwang increased by 428. While the number of active users may seem to have increased, the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic has directly led to a decrease in consumption desire, with the spending amount of active users of Shengwang decreasing by about 5% year-on-year.</p><p>Referring to the recent revenue and cost expenditure ratio of Shengwang, it can be seen that Shengwang does not have a cornerstone customer like online education, which has a significant impact. In the second quarter of 2022, SoundNet's total revenue was US$41 million, gross profit was US$26.6 million, and gross profit margin was 64.9%. In the first quarter of 2021, before the implementation of the double reduction policy, SoundNet's total revenue was US$40.2 million, gross profit was US$23.4 million, and gross profit margin was 58.2%.</p><p>While Sheng.com's gross profit margin may seem to have increased by 6.7%, considering the difference in the number of active users, the revenue difference between the two is only 800,000 yuan, which shows that active users cannot be Sheng.com's \"reliance\". Because there were 2,877 active users in the second quarter of 2022 and only 2,324 active users in the first quarter of 2021, the difference between the two is 553. These 553 active users only contributed 800,000 yuan in revenue in a year.</p><p>Comparing these two periods, SoundNetwork's sales and marketing expenses in the first quarter of 2021 were $8.7 million; This expense surged to $13.1 million in the second quarter of 2022. The surge in marketing expenses may be due to increased advertising spending by SoundNet after losing K-12 users. In its second-quarter report, SoundNet also explained that the significant increase in marketing expenses was due to advertising expenses.</p><p>Both the total number of users and active users are increasing, but<span>Net profit</span>However, the company experienced a continuous decline and even losses from 2018 to 2021. The net profit for the full fiscal years of 2018 to 2021 was US$376,000, -US$6.18 million, -US$3.12 million and -US$72.36 million, respectively. The loss in 2021 was 23 times that of 2020. The loss in the first half of 2022 already reached $57.62 million, and this year is likely to be the first time that the loss in a single year has exceeded $100 million.</p><p>Regardless of the reason, Shengwang has now experienced a strange phenomenon of increasing user growth but not increasing profits, resulting in a false prosperity where users grow but revenue \"does not grow\".</p><p>Investor Liu Bo believes that the growth of paying users of Shengwang is actually a blind spot. \"After losing its online education customers, it has a lot of retail users and no core users, which makes it invest more and more energy in making more and more products. However, the customer base of a single product has decreased, and the revenue effectiveness and profit ratio have also decreased accordingly. This can be reflected in the fact that the number of active users has increased so much, but the revenue has hardly changed.\"<strong>Overseas expansion is not a panacea</strong></p><p>Zhao Bin, founder and CEO of SoundNet, particularly emphasized the growth rate of overseas markets, most likely to reduce investors' concerns. The financial report specifically pointed out that its expansion rate in Europe and the United States, especially the US market, denominated in US dollars, reached 130%.</p><p>According to the ranking data of the well-known website ALEXA, VoiceNet ranks third in the US market, and its growth rate is indeed very fast. However, the number of unique visitors logged in by a single IP is 89,600, and the total number of visits is 268,000. While the numbers seem good, the efficiency value is not high. In other words, PV/UV can be used to calculate the number of visits to a single IP. As a result, VoiceNet has less than 3 visits to a single IP.</p><p><img src=\"https://fid-75186.picgzc.qpic.cn/20220831173206996v197syj02jc4k2x\"/>If this calculation is inaccurate, then looking at the data in the table above, the proportion of website visits by US users is 9.4%, while the proportion of page views is only 6.2%. Page views account for 66% of website visits. The number of unique IPs visiting websites in the US every day is 8,422, and the number of page views is approximately 5,555.</p><p>According to media statistics, the Voice Network website was accessed 16,616 times. Neither 5,555 nor 16,616 times can be considered a huge number. The growth rate is quite gratifying, but the overall influence is still relatively weak.</p><p>According to media reports, VoiceNet's profit model is free plus value-added. Each user can use 10,000 minutes for free per month, and only the excess portion will be charged. This is similar to the packages of China Mobile and China Unicom, but the difference is that China Mobile and China Unicom's packages are paid, while VoiceNet's package is free. A 10,000-minute free trial per month means you can get 333 minutes of free trial per day, or 5.5 hours, which is almost completely free.</p><p>According to VoiceNet's rules, overseas customers can apply for a certain amount of free time as a test and can choose whether to pay after the test ends. Judging from the number of paying users that Shengwang has grown within a year, the conversion rate of paying users is astonishingly low. This may be a concession made by Shengwang in order to expand into overseas markets. However, if Shengwang wants to grow revenue and ultimately achieve profitability, it needs to continuously expand its customer base and increase customer usage time in order to achieve profitability. Paying users are a key factor, and the low conversion rate of paying users will affect its profitability.</p><p>Compared to markets it hadn't entered before, achieving a 130% growth rate is not difficult; the challenge lies in maintaining this growth rate indefinitely.

In the second quarter, SoundNet's total revenue was US$40.98 million, a year-on-year decrease of 3.2%. In the first half of the year, SoundNet's total operating revenue was US$79.56 million, a year-on-year decrease of 4%. The company reported a net loss of $30.7 million for the quarter, compared to $15.4 million in the same period last year. The net loss increased by 99.4% year-on-year, almost doubling, setting a new record for losses.</p><p>SoundNet is very satisfied with its quarterly financial report. Zhao Bin, founder and CEO of SoundNet, said, \"Our operating results in the second quarter were strong, returning to the quarterly growth trend. SoundNet's real-time interactive cloud services are widely recognized in the global market, and user demand is increasing.\"</p><p><img src=\"https://fid-75186.picgzc.qpic.cn/20220831173157871v1972yv18f70fwe\"/>In the capital market, this is certainly not a satisfactory answer for investors. SoundNet did not provide much interpretation of the losses, nor did it introduce how to reduce them in the future. Instead, it repeatedly emphasized that \"SoundNet provides scenario solution services and has always maintained the number one position in the RTC (audio and video communication) market share, and that more and more innovative scenarios will be discovered in the future.\" In fact, investors are more concerned about how SoundNet can reduce losses and how to make a profit.</p><p><img src=\"https://fid-75186.picgzc.qpic.cn/20220831173158552v1972k9w2i75kp9\"/>Zhao Bin's confidence failed to gain recognition from the capital market. After the financial report was released, Shengwang's stock price fell sharply. On August 30, the stock price was $4.14 during trading, a drop of nearly 80% from the issue price of $20 per share. On its first day of trading, Shengwang opened at $45.00 per share and closed at $50.50 per share, a 152.5% increase from the issue price. The highest point of the stock price was $114.97 per share in February 2021. At its peak, Shengwang's market value had evaporated by 96.4%.</p><p>I wonder if Shengwang is still satisfied with this result?<strong>Seven consecutive quarters of losses</strong></p><p>Shengwang is a B2B service provider that offers live streaming services on Momo.<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LIZI\">lychee</a>All voice live streaming services are backed by the technical support of SoundNet. It primarily provides developers with a variety of services such as real-time video and real-time audio, covering more than 20 industry sectors and more than 200 scenarios. Education is one of the most important pillars of SoundNet, and online education once supported most of SoundNet's paying users.</p><p>The COVID-19 pandemic that emerged at the end of 2019 directly boosted online education, causing education to rapidly shift from offline to online, which brought considerable revenue to Shengwang. In March 2020 alone, SoundNet's online education customer base increased more than sevenfold. In 2020, online education institutions contributed 14% of revenue, and the revenue share further climbed to 25% in the second quarter of 2021.</p><p>With the implementation of the double reduction policy in July 2021, K-12 online education in China almost suffered a catastrophe. This \"total annihilation\" led to the loss of some of Shengwang's education customers. In the fourth quarter of 2021, revenue declined by more than 10 percentage points quarter-on-quarter, and in this quarter, revenue declined by 3.2% year-on-year. It can be seen that the loss of online education customers has had a significant impact on Shengwang.</p><p>Before the implementation of the \"double reduction\" policy, SoundNet's net expansion rate based on US dollars reached 131% in the first quarter of 2021. After the implementation of the \"double reduction\" policy, this figure dropped to 95% in the second quarter of 2022. It is evident that online education customers are Shengwang's main customers, and the loss of cornerstone users has become a major reason for Shengwang's turnaround from profit to loss.</p><p><img src=\"https://fid-75186.picgzc.qpic.cn/20220831173205341v1972xtu86du5yy\"/>Financial data from recent quarters shows that SoundNet was once profitable, with profits of around $3 million in the first and second quarters of 2020 respectively. However, it subsequently turned from profit to loss, and has been in a loss-making state since the third quarter of 2020. Apart from profits of around $3 million in the first and second quarters, all other quarterly reports are in a loss-making state. So far, seven quarterly reports have shown losses to varying degrees. The full fiscal year with the smallest loss was 2020, with a loss of $3.12 million.</p><p>SoundNet's largest full-year loss was in 2021, reaching $72.36 million. The total loss in the first and second quarters of 2022 was $57.62 million, bringing the cumulative loss to $140 million. It only took Shengwang two years to go from a profitable company to one that was constantly losing money.</p><p><img src=\"https://fid-75186.picgzc.qpic.cn/20220831173206112v1974mb4c54d7g1\"/>To explore new business growth, in the fourth quarter of 2021, SoundNet announced its entry into metaverse. At that time, metaverse was very popular, and SoundNet hoped that this following trend would improve its deteriorating financial situation. It successively launched three major solutions for the fields of interactive social networking, karaoke and live streaming: YuanYuChat, YuanKaraoke and YuanLive. However, metaverse is currently in the early stages of development, and these new businesses launched by SoundNet are not yet mature and will take time to be implemented. It is unrealistic to expect to gain revenue in the short term.</p><p>Fang Junhua, a cloud service practitioner, believes that Shengwang's entry into metaverse is not only due to its own business development bottlenecks and its desire to seek new growth points, but also an explanation to investors. After all, its market value has evaporated by nearly 97% in the two years since its listing, which will never satisfy investors.</p><p>Fang Junhua pointed out: \"Investors have begun to vote with their feet in the face of Sheng.com's repeated poor performance. The original major shareholders, such as Shunwei Capital and Coatue PE Asia, have all disappeared. To some extent, the significant reduction in holdings indicates that investors are not optimistic about Sheng.com's development prospects. If it cannot find new business growth points, Sheng.com's losses will continue.\"<strong>\"False Prosperity\" of User Growth</strong></p><p>Sheng.com's biggest troubles stem not only from its revenue, but also from problems with its users.</p><p>Financial reports show that as of the second quarter of 2022, SoundNet had more than 475,000 registered applications worldwide, a year-on-year increase of 41%, and the number of active customers worldwide reached 2,877, a year-on-year increase of 17.5%. This seemingly impressive data is, after all, the number of users is an important indicator of a company's value.</p><p>However, the so-called active customer standard defined by SoundNet is not high; anyone who spends more than $100 on SoundNet is considered an active customer. In fact, from the second quarter of 2021 to the end of this quarter, the absolute number of active users of Shengwang increased by 428. While the number of active users may seem to have increased, the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic has directly led to a decrease in consumption desire, with the spending amount of active users of Shengwang decreasing by about 5% year-on-year.</p><p>Referring to the recent revenue and cost expenditure ratio of Shengwang, it can be seen that Shengwang does not have a cornerstone customer like online education, which has a significant impact. In the second quarter of 2022, SoundNet's total revenue was US$41 million, gross profit was US$26.6 million, and gross profit margin was 64.9%. In the first quarter of 2021, before the implementation of the double reduction policy, SoundNet's total revenue was US$40.2 million, gross profit was US$23.4 million, and gross profit margin was 58.2%.</p><p>While Sheng.com's gross profit margin may seem to have increased by 6.7%, considering the difference in the number of active users, the revenue difference between the two is only 800,000 yuan, which shows that active users cannot be Sheng.com's \"reliance\". Because there were 2,877 active users in the second quarter of 2022 and only 2,324 active users in the first quarter of 2021, the difference between the two is 553. These 553 active users only contributed 800,000 yuan in revenue in a year.</p><p>Comparing these two periods, SoundNetwork's sales and marketing expenses in the first quarter of 2021 were $8.7 million; This expense surged to $13.1 million in the second quarter of 2022. The surge in marketing expenses may be due to increased advertising spending by SoundNet after losing K-12 users. In its second-quarter report, SoundNet also explained that the significant increase in marketing expenses was due to advertising expenses.</p><p>Both the total number of users and active users are increasing, but<span>Net profit</span>However, the company experienced a continuous decline and even losses from 2018 to 2021. The net profit for the full fiscal years of 2018 to 2021 was US$376,000, -US$6.18 million, -US$3.12 million and -US$72.36 million, respectively. The loss in 2021 was 23 times that of 2020. The loss in the first half of 2022 already reached $57.62 million, and this year is likely to be the first time that the loss in a single year has exceeded $100 million.</p><p>Regardless of the reason, Shengwang has now experienced a strange phenomenon of increasing user growth but not increasing profits, resulting in a false prosperity where users grow but revenue \"does not grow\".</p><p>Investor Liu Bo believes that the growth of paying users of Shengwang is actually a blind spot. \"After losing its online education customers, it has a lot of retail users and no core users, which makes it invest more and more energy in making more and more products. However, the customer base of a single product has decreased, and the revenue effectiveness and profit ratio have also decreased accordingly. This can be reflected in the fact that the number of active users has increased so much, but the revenue has hardly changed.\"<strong>Overseas expansion is not a panacea</strong></p><p>Zhao Bin, founder and CEO of SoundNet, particularly emphasized the growth rate of overseas markets, most likely to reduce investors' concerns. The financial report specifically pointed out that its expansion rate in Europe and the United States, especially the US market, denominated in US dollars, reached 130%.</p><p>According to the ranking data of the well-known website ALEXA, VoiceNet ranks third in the US market, and its growth rate is indeed very fast. However, the number of unique visitors logged in by a single IP is 89,600, and the total number of visits is 268,000. While the numbers seem good, the efficiency value is not high. In other words, PV/UV can be used to calculate the number of visits to a single IP. As a result, VoiceNet has less than 3 visits to a single IP.</p><p><img src=\"https://fid-75186.picgzc.qpic.cn/20220831173206996v197syj02jc4k2x\"/>If this calculation is inaccurate, then looking at the data in the table above, the proportion of website visits by US users is 9.4%, while the proportion of page views is only 6.2%. Page views account for 66% of website visits. The number of unique IPs visiting websites in the US every day is 8,422, and the number of page views is approximately 5,555.</p><p>According to media statistics, the Voice Network website was accessed 16,616 times. Neither 5,555 nor 16,616 times can be considered a huge number. The growth rate is quite gratifying, but the overall influence is still relatively weak.</p><p>According to media reports, VoiceNet's profit model is free plus value-added. Each user can use 10,000 minutes for free per month, and only the excess portion will be charged. This is similar to the packages of China Mobile and China Unicom, but the difference is that China Mobile and China Unicom's packages are paid, while VoiceNet's package is free. A 10,000-minute free trial per month means you can get 333 minutes of free trial per day, or 5.5 hours, which is almost completely free.</p><p>According to VoiceNet's rules, overseas customers can apply for a certain amount of free time as a test and can choose whether to pay after the test ends. Judging from the number of paying users that Shengwang has grown within a year, the conversion rate of paying users is astonishingly low. This may be a concession made by Shengwang in order to expand into overseas markets. However, if Shengwang wants to grow revenue and ultimately achieve profitability, it needs to continuously expand its customer base and increase customer usage time in order to achieve profitability. Paying users are a key factor, and the low conversion rate of paying users will affect its profitability.</p><p>Compared to markets it hadn't entered before, achieving a 130% growth rate is not difficult; the challenge lies in maintaining this growth rate indefinitely. However, most companies going global still regard overseas markets as one of the ways to diversify their development, and the dominant position of the Chinese market will not waver. Once Shengwang bets its money on overseas markets, thinking it has found a magic key to growth, it may put the cart before the horse.</p><p>Internet analyst Chen Xiaoyu believes that the rapid growth of overseas expansion may create some illusions for SoundNet's senior management. \"High overseas growth may cause SoundNet to neglect the Chinese market, which is currently the most promising market in the world. How to stabilize its advantages in the domestic market and expand new customers to form a cornerstone customer base is the issue that SoundNet should focus on.

CEO 赵斌表示：“我们二季度的经营业绩强劲，重新回归季度增长走势。声网的实时互动云服务在全球市场广受认可，用户需求日益高涨。”在资本市场上，这肯定不是一份让投资人满意的答卷，声网并没有过多对亏损进行解读，也没有介绍未来如何降低亏损，却在不停强调“声网提供了场景解决方案服务并始终保持RTC（音视频通信）市场份额第一的位置，且未来会有越来越多的创新场景将被发掘。”事实上投资人更关心的是，声网如何降低亏损和如何盈利。赵斌的自信换不来资本市场的认可，财报发布后声网股价应声下跌，8月30日股价盘中为4.14美元，距离20美元/股的发行价已经下跌近80%，而上市首日声网开盘价为45.00美元/股，当天收报50.50美元/股，较发行价上涨152.5%，股价最高点在2021年2月的114.97美元/股，较高峰值时，声网的市值已经蒸发96.4%。不知道这样的结果，声网是否仍然满意？连续7季度亏损声网是一家toB服务商，在陌陌直播连麦、荔枝等语音直播服务的背后都有声网的技术支持。主要为开发者提供实时视频、实时音频等多种服务，涉及20多个行业赛道和200多个场景，教育是声网最重要的支柱之一，在线教育一度支撑起声网大部分的付费用户。2019年年末出现的新冠疫情，直接带火了在线教育，教育由线下迅速向线上靠拢，这为声网带来可观的收入。仅在2020年3月，声网在线教育客户增长量超过7倍，2020年线上教育机构贡献14%的营收，2021年第二季度的营收占比进一步攀升至25%。随着2021年7月双减政策的推行，国内K12在线教育几乎遭遇灭顶之灾，这种“团灭”导致声网部分教育客户的流失，2021年第四季度营收环比下滑超10个点，以及本季度营收同比下滑3.2%，可以看出在线教育客户的流失对声网造成了不小的影响。在“双减”政策没有实施之前的，2021年第一季度，声网基于美元的净扩张率高达131%，在实施“双减”政策后，这一数值下降到2022第二季度的95%。可见在线教育客户是声网的主要客户，基石用户的流失，成为声网盈转亏的一大原因。近几个季度的财务数据显示，声网曾经是赚钱的，在2020年第一季度和第二季度分别有过300万美元左右的盈利，但随后由盈转亏，从2020年第三季度起，至今均处于亏损状态，第一、二季度有过300万美元左右的盈利之外其余单季报都是亏损状态，至今已经有7个单季报出现不同程度的亏损，亏损最少的完整财年为2020年，亏损金额为312万美元。声网亏损最多的完整财年为2021年，高达7236万美元，2022年一季度和二季度的亏损总额为5762万美元，累计亏损额度达到1.4亿美元。从一个能赚钱的公司，到持续不断亏损的公司，声网只用了2年。为探索新的业务增量，2021年第四季度，声网宣布进军元宇宙，此时元宇宙大火，声网期望这种跟风能改善每况愈下的财务状况，针对互动社交、K歌和直播领域陆续推出元语聊、元K歌、元直播三大解决方案，但元宇宙目前是处于发展初期，声网推出的这些新业务现在都不算成熟，落地都尚需时日，想短期内获得收益并不现实。云服务从业者方俊华认为，声网进军元宇宙除受困自身业务发展瓶颈想寻求新的增长点之外，也是对投资人的一种交代，毕竟上市2年市值蒸发近97%，这无论如何不会让投资人满意。方俊华指出：“投资人面对声网接连交出糟糕业绩也开始用脚投票。顺为资本、Coatue PE Asia等原先主要股东均已消失。某种程度来看，大幅减持代表投资人并不看好声网的发展前景。一旦无法寻找新的业务增长点，声网亏损的日子还将继续持续。”用户增长的“虚假繁荣”声网的大麻烦不仅来自营收，用户方面也出了问题。财报显示，截至2022年第二季度，声网全球注册应用超47.5万，同比增长41%，全球活跃客户数量达2877个，同比增长17.5％。这一份看似不错的数据，毕竟用户数量是企业价值的重要表现。但声网定义的所谓活跃客户标准并不高，在声网花费超过100美元的就是活跃客户。而实际上从2021年第二季度到本季度末整整一年时间，声网活跃用户增加的数量绝对值是428名。看似活跃用户增加了，但受全球新冠疫情的影响，直接导致消费欲望的降低，声网的活跃用户的消费金额同比下降了5%左右。参考近期声网的收入和成本支出比例，可以发现现在声网没有在线教育这样的基石客户影响确实很大。2022年第二季度声网总营收为4100万美元，毛利润为2660万美元，毛利率为64.9%，在双减政策落地前的2021年一季度，声网总营收为4020万美元，毛利润为2340万美元，毛利率为58.2%。看似声网毛利率增加了6.7%，但结合活跃用户数量的不同，两者营收差距却只有80万，这说明活跃用户并不能成为声网的“依靠”。因为2022年第二季度的活跃用户为2877个，2021年一季度的活跃用户仅为2324个，两个差距为553个，553个活跃用户一年只贡献了80万的营收。同样以这两个时段来对比，2021年一季度声网的销售和营销费用是870万美元；2022年第二季该项费用猛增至1310万美元。对于营销费猛增，或和失去K12用户后，声网加大广告开支所致。声网在二季报中同样解释说营销费用的大幅增加是广告开支。用户总量和活跃用户都是在增加，但净利润在2018-2021年却呈现不断下滑乃至亏损的状态，2018年至2021年完整财年净利润分别为37.6万美元、-618万美元、-312万美元和-7236万美元，其中2021年亏损幅度是2020年的23倍之多。而2022年上半年的亏损已经达5762万美元，今年完整财年大概率会首次单年亏损过亿美元。但不管什么原因所致，声网现在已经产生了增量不增利的怪相，造成用户增长，但收入“不增长”的虚假繁荣。投资人刘波认为声网的付费用户增长其实是一个盲区，“在少了在线教育的客户之后，他的散户非常多，没有核心用户，使得他的产品越做越多精力越投越多，但单个产品的客户群就降低了，收入有效性和利润比也随之降低，从活跃用户增加那么多，营收却几乎没有变化就能体现出来。”海外扩张不是万能钥匙声网创始人兼 CEO赵斌特别强调海外市场的增速，大概率是为了降低投资人的忧虑，财报中特意指出其在欧美尤其是美国市场的以美元为标的的扩张率达到130%。根据知名网站ALEXA的排行数据，声网在美国市场的数据排名第三，增速确实很快，但唯一IP登陆的独立访客数值UV为89600，总访问量PV268000，看似数值不错，效率值并不高，也就是说，PV/UV可以计算出单一IP的访问次数，这样一来，声网的单一IP访问次数不足3次。如果说此类计算有所偏差的话，那再从上表数据来看，美国用户网站访问比例为9.4%，而页面的浏览比例只有6.2%，页面浏览占网站访问的66%，美国每日单独访问网站的IP数量是8422个，页面浏览的数值约为5555个。有媒体统计的声网网站的调取包含浏览是16616次。无论是5555个还是16616次都不能算是庞大的数值，增速是挺喜人，但整体影响力依然偏弱。有媒体报道称，声网的盈利模式为免费加增值，每位用户每月可以免费使用1万分钟，超出部分才收取费用，这类似移动和联通公司的套餐，不同的是移动和联通的套餐是收费的，声网这个套餐是免费的。每月1万分钟的免费试用，意味着每天可以免费试用333分钟，也就是5.5小时，这几乎和完全免费类似。根据声网的规则，海外客户可以申请一定数量的免费时长作为测试，并在测试结束之后可以选择是否付费。而从声网一年内增长的付费用户数量来看，付费用户的转化率低得惊人，或许是声网为了拓展海外市场而作出的让利，但声网想要营收增长并最终实现盈利，则需要持续扩大客户群体，并持续增加客户使用时长，进而实现盈利，付费用户是关键因素，付费用户转化率偏低，将影响其盈利。相较于之前没有进入的市场，取得130%的增速，并非难事，难的是如何一直保持这种增速，而如今大部分出海的企业依然将海外市场视为多元化发展途径之一，中国市场的主体地位不会动摇，一旦声网将宝押在海外市场，以为找到增长的万能钥匙，或将出现舍本逐末的情况。互联网分析师陈晓宇认为海外扩张的高速增长或会为声网高层带来些许假象，“海外高增长有可能会让声网忽视了中国市场，而中国市场现在是全球最有潜力的市场，如何在国内市场稳定优势，扩充新的客户形成基石客户群，才是声网应该着重考虑的问题。不能只是应对海外用户的需求就出现战略，一味强调海外市场，将会加大自身风险。”商誉受损的收购案声网在2021年1月宣布收购环信，众所周知环信是中国领先的即时通讯云和客服云服务商，声网收购环信完全是对标竞争对手Twilio收购客户数据平台初创公司Segment的操作，其目的是希望利用资本建立自己的资源和技术闭环。但是关于声网收购环信的金额却陷入了扑朔迷离。2021年年报总结表里，他列举了对环信的收购费用，但对于整体的收购并没有做详细解读，只在资本支出中有这样一笔，同时也没有标注这笔钱花费的方式和目标。同时2020年的年报里披露了对netless的收购，但金额只为400万美元，在当时已经引起业内人士的质疑。《北京商报》也在2021年2月4日报道，声网的并购案有两期，除了环信之外还有实时互动白板软件Netless。但据声网2021年年报显示：被购实体的公允价值超过所购有形和无形资产净值的部分记为商誉，为公司所得税目的不可扣除。也就是说，商誉+长期投资等于花在这个收购上的资金。有媒体指出声网对环信的收购花费可能超过一亿美元，并不是现在描述的仅5,000万美元。金融分析师许艺对此质疑称，netless是2020年11月完成的收购，但2020年的年报里长期投资是空值，环信2021年一季度完成收购，但2021年的一季报长期投资也是空值，反而增加5000多万美元的商誉？直到2021年2季报才开始增加2000万？之后三季报又增加2000多万？后面又分两次各增加1000多万？从声网不论是几百万收购的netless，还是5000万收获的环信，在商誉部分和长期投资部分都对不上。有意思的是，在声网2022年Q2财报中，声网的收入以及客户增长等核心内容都不包含环信的数据，也就是说两个公司并没有并表。耗费巨资去收购环信，最后却没有并表，声网玩了一波“骚操作”，甚至有业内人士公开断言声网收购环信不是增值资产而是麻烦，5000多万美元的商誉这将对声网带来不可估量的损失，将会引发大量股东减持，打击资本市场的信心。金融分析师许艺认为，声网未将环信并表只有两种可能，一是声网对环信的整合尚未结束，另一种可能就是环信的营收数据对声网的业绩起不到促进作用甚至还有拖后腿的可能。从目前并购成功已经一年多的时间来看第一种可能并不大。6月29日声网宣布，最近与上海当地政府达成协议，收购上海市杨浦区滨江地区约42000平方米的土地使用权，本次收购是声网和两个独立的第三方成立的实体合资公司，其中声网持股约为46.39%。该土地的总价值约为25亿元人民币，按持股比例计算，声网付出的收购价约为11.6元人民币，合近2亿美元。有媒体认为声网是要在上海建立新总部，以促进其业务增长，但在持续亏损的情况下，花费巨资买地建总部，不仅引发投资者担忧，也不利于其股价和市值的上扬。其一系列迷之操作也让资本愈发不满，不断下跌的股价就是最好的证明。声网从一家备受资本追捧的公司到被资本遗弃，原因有很多，不断下跌的股价和市值说明资本正对其逐渐失去耐心，从声网积极布局元宇宙以及其他领域的事实来看，声网正在自救，以此想方设法拓展多元化发展，但没有拳头业务恐是声网致命硬伤，产品越做越多也就越分散。失去在线教育的核心业务，声网想要恢复往日的荣光难于上青天。而在亏损严重的情况下，又花2亿美元买地盖楼，将继续加剧亏损，声网到底想干什么？","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"API":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":903,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":110501905,"gmtCreate":1622466094107,"gmtModify":1704184792205,"author":{"id":"3582682141485086","authorId":"3582682141485086","name":"71个百分之20","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01cb1e2e4e59cfe31878a5b041141c54","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582682141485086","authorIdStr":"3582682141485086"},"themes":[],"title":"","htmlText":"。","listText":"。","text":"。","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/110501905","repostId":"262100","repostType":1,"repost":{"id":262100,"gmtCreate":1536544037808,"gmtModify":1706073311229,"author":{"id":"3497411478051675","authorId":"3497411478051675","name":"投资人六便士","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/66886b324aad8bc5344a39afada9e889","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3497411478051675","authorIdStr":"3497411478051675"},"themes":[],"title":"印鈔機正海生物：財報“大體檢”，透過數據看價值","htmlText":"在
