Third Quarter 2018 Financial Results
Net revenues were RMB497.6 million (US$72.5 million), representing an increase of 100.3% from RMB248.4 million in the same quarter of last year. The increase was mainly due to the significant increase in product revenues from the B2B segment, which increased by 1,337.5% to RMB276.0 million (US$40.2 million) from RMB19.2 million in the same quarter of last year. Product revenues from the B2C segment decreased by 3.4% to RMB218.3 million (US$31.8 million) from RMB226.0 million in the same quarter of last year, due to more cost-effective customer acquisition, which reduced marketing expenditure of B2C segment by almost 50% compared to the same quarter of last year.
Operating costs and expenses were RMB627.5 million (US$91.4 million), representing an increase of 100.0% from RMB313.7 million in the same quarter of last year.
- Cost of products sold was RMB482.1 million (US$70.2 million), representing an increase of 115.7% from RMB223.5 million in the same quarter of last year. The increase was primarily due to increase in sales and a change in revenue mix with a much higher proportion of B2B business.
- Fulfillment expenses were RMB20.7 million (US$3.0 million), representing an increase of 46.8% from RMB14.1 million in the same quarter of last year, primarily as a result of growth in the B2B business.
- Selling expenses were RMB77.3 million (US$11.3 million), representing an increase of 54.0% from RMB50.2 million in the same quarter of last year, mainly due to increasing sales staff and expenses associated with the expansion of the B2B business.
- General and administrative expenses were RMB26.4 million (US$3.8 million), representing an increase of 98.5% from RMB13.3 million in the same quarter of last year, mainly due to increases in managerial staff, IPO consulting fees and share-based compensation expenses.
- Technology expenses were RMB20.2 million (US$2.9 million), representing an increase of 69.7% from RMB11.9 million in the same quarter of last year, mainly due to investments in platform and product development, including the recruitment of technology-related staff.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP loss per ADS, non-GAAP measures, as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. The Company defines non-GAAP loss from operations as loss from operations excluding share-based compensation. The Company defines non-GAAP net loss as net loss excluding share-based compensation. The Company defines non-GAAP loss per ADS as loss per ADS excluding share-based compensation per ADS. 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 believes that non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP loss per ADS 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. Share-based compensation is a non-cash expense that varies from period to period. As a result, management excludes this item from its internal operating forecasts and models. Management believes that this adjustment for share-based compensation provides investors with a basis to measure the company’s core performance, including compared with the performance of other companies, without the period-to-period variability created by share-based compensation. The Company believes that non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP loss per ADS provide useful information about its operating results, enhances 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 non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss or non-GAAP loss per ADS is that it does 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 measures, 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.
Reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures is included at the end of this press release.
