  • Distribution GMV7 was RMB785.7 million, a decrease of 9.5% year-over-year.

  • GMV generated from non-TMALL marketplaces and channels accounted for approximately 34.0% of total GMV during the quarter, compared with 36.5% for the same period of 2020.
  • As of September 30, 2021, the total number of stores that the Company helps brand partners to run on e-commerce marketplaces and new emerging channels increased to 736, compared with 461 as of September 30, 2020.

Mr. Vincent Qiu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Baozun, commented, “We witnessed a number of short-term headwinds for the industry during the quarter that resulted in a weaker macro environment and softer consumption sentiment. Encouragingly, we continue to see structural growth opportunities in the luxury and premium sector, some sub-verticals of sportswear and from brand partners’ emerging demand for deploying omni-channel strategies. We anticipate further changes as the industry adapts and evolves, but importantly, these changes bring a variety of new opportunities. We believe that, by continuing to upgrade our platform with pioneering technology and innovative services, we are well placed to adapt and capitalize on opportunities. This quarter, we enriched functions in our tech-powered middle-office and launched “Service Anywhere”, or “S-ANY”, our intelligent customer service management system, which we believe will substantially improve productivity and service quality. We are proud of our team’s resilience, and we will continue to invest in promoting a sustainable Baozun ecosystem for high quality growth.”

Mr. Arthur Yu, Chief Financial Officer of Baozun, commented, “Our investments into more advanced technology and infrastructure, and complementary acquisitions enhance our vertical competitiveness, and help our business become more resilient and balanced. While our organic business remained comprehensively profitable, our newly acquired businesses incurred a small loss. In addition, we conservatively booked an extraordinary write-down of accounts receivable, that resulted in our very first quarterly operating loss on a non-GAAP basis. Nevertheless, going forward, we project greater synergies and consequently forecast higher efficiency in our business model once our acquisitions are fully integrated. Notwithstanding the short-term impact to our results and the industry headwinds in recent quarters, we remain confident in our business model and investment strategy, and we will continually build on our mission to become the leading global brand e-commerce business partner.”

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Total net revenues were RMB1,898.8 million (US$294.7 million), an increase of 3.8% from RMB1,829.2 million in the same quarter of last year.

Product sales revenue was RMB699.6 million (US$108.6 million), a decrease of 12.9% from RMB803.4 million in the same quarter of last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to weaker macro environment and a decline in consumption sentiment in China during the quarter, resulting in growth contraction in personal-care products and appliances categories.

Services revenue was RMB1,199.1 million (US$186.1 million), an increase of 16.9% from RMB1,025.7 million in the same quarter of last year. The increase was primarily attributable to incremental revenue contribution of RMB212.3 million from the Company’s acquisitions, especially from two warehouse and supply chain businesses.

Total operating expenses were RMB2,055.3 million (US$319.0 million), compared with RMB1,744.6 million in the same quarter of last year.

  • Cost of products was RMB596.0 million (US$92.5 million), compared with RMB673.7 million in the same quarter of last year. The decrease was primarily due to the decline in product sales revenue.
  • Fulfillment expenses were RMB633.9 million (US$98.4 million), compared with RMB419.8 million in the same quarter of last year. The increase was primarily due to the incremental fulfillment cost of RMB205.0 million (US$31.8 million) related to the Company’s acquisition of two warehouse and supply chain businesses.
  • Sales and marketing expenses were RMB535.6 million (US$83.1 million), compared with RMB501.1 million in the same quarter of last year. The increase was mainly due to increased staff as the Company grows it business scale, and an expansion in headcount in digital marketing services, which was partially offset by efficiency improvements.
  • Technology and content expenses were RMB113.9 million (US$17.7 million) compared with RMB101.6 million in the same quarter of last year. The increase was mainly due to growth in GMV and the Company’s ongoing investment in technological innovation and productization, which was partially offset by the Company’s cost control initiatives and efficiency improvements.
  • General and administrative expenses were RMB191.1 million (US$29.7 million), compared with RMB51.1 million in the same quarter of last year. The increase was primarily due to a write-down of account receivable totaling RMB86.1 million, as further described below, a rise in staff costs to recruit and retain talents, and an increase in rental expenses due to the overlap rental period of the Company’s then existing and new headquarters.

Loss from operations was RMB156.5 million (US$24.3 million), compared with income from operations of RMB84.6 million in the same quarter of last year. Operating margin was negative 8.2%, compared with 4.6% in the same quarter of last year.

Non-GAAP loss from operations was RMB84.3 million (US$13.1 million), compared with non-GAAP income from operation of RMB111.7 million in the same quarter of last year. Non-GAAP operating margin was negative 4.4%, compared with 6.1% in the same quarter of last year.

Net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. was RMB292.5 million (US$45.4 million), compared with net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. of RMB64.6 million in the same quarter of last year. Basic and diluted net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. per ADS were both RMB4.00 (US$0.62), compared with basic and diluted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. of RMB1.09 and RMB1.07, respectively, in the same period of 2020.

Non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. was RMB88.1 million (US$13.7 million), compared with non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. of RMB91.5 million in the same quarter of last year. Basic and diluted non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. per ADS were both RMB1.21 (US$0.19), compared with basic and diluted non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. per ADS of RMB1.55 and RMB1.52, respectively, in the same period of 2020.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had RMB2,751.0 million (US$427.0 million) in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments, compared with RMB5,179.9 million as of December 31, 2020.

Supplemental Information

Share Repurchase Programs

During the third quarter of 2021, the Company repurchased approximately 17.7 million of ordinary shares (including ordinary shares represented by the ADSs) for approximately US$112.5 million under its share repurchase program. As such, the Company has fully completed its share repurchase program for up to US$125 million worth of its shares approved by its Board of Directors on May 18, 2021. On November 30, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program for up to US$50 million worth of the Company’s shares in the next 12 months.

Strategic investment in Baotong by Cainiao Network

With regards to the Share Purchase and Subscription Agreement with Cainiao Network for 30% equity investment in Baotong announced on September 30, 2021, the Company is pleased to announce that all the conditions under the Share Purchase and Subscription Agreement have been fulfilled. The payment for this equity investment from Cainiao Network has been received by the Company in October 2021.

Arbitration to Settle Dispute with Client

In September 2021, the Company initiated arbitration proceedings against one of its distributors in the health care and cosmetics industry to recover US$22.2 million accounts receivable for the products procured by this distributor. The Company has been informed by its legal advisers that it has prevailing evidence that it fulfilled its part of the contracted transactions and therefore the Company believe it has a reasonable chance to prevail. However, there is no certainty that the arbitration tribunal will rule in the Company’s favor and even if the arbitration tribunal rules in the Company’s favor, there is no guarantee that the Company will fully recover the amount owned by this distributor to the Company. As a result, the Company conservatively booked this quarter a write-down of account receivable totaling RMB86.1 million (US$13.4 million) relating to this dispute.

2 Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as income (loss) from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition.
3 Non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. excluding share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition and unrealized investment loss.
4 Each ADS represents three Class A ordinary shares.
5 Basic and diluted non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. per ADS are non-GAAP financial measures, which are defined as non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. divided by weighted average number of shares used in calculating basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share multiplied by three, respectively.
6 GMV includes value added tax and excludes (i) shipping charges, (ii) surcharges and other taxes, (iii) value of the goods that are returned and (iv) deposits for purchases that have not been settled.
7 Distribution GMV refers to the GMV under the distribution business model.
8 Non-distribution GMV refers to the GMV under the service fee business model and the consignment business model.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company also uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating its business. For example, the Company uses non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net margin, non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. and non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. per ADS, as supplemental measures to review and assess its financial and operating performance. 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. Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations is income (loss) from operations excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition. Non-GAAP operating margin is non-GAAP income from operations as a percentage of total net revenues. Non-GAAP net income (loss) is net income (loss) excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition and unrealized investment loss. Non-GAAP net margin is non-GAAP net income as a percentage of total net revenues. Non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. is net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition and unrealized investment loss. Non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. per ADS is non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. divided by weighted average number of shares used in calculating net income (loss) per ordinary share multiplied by three.

The Company presents the non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by the Company’s management to evaluate the Company’s financial and operating performance and formulate business plans. Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations enables the Company’s management to assess the Company’s financial and operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition. Non-GAAP net income (loss) enables the Company’s management to assess the Company’s financial and operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition and unrealized investment loss. Such items are non-cash expenses that are not directly related to the Company’s business operations. Share-based compensation expenses represent non-cash expenses associated with share options and restricted share units the Company grants under the share incentive plans. Amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition represents non-cash expenses associated with intangible assets acquired through one-off business acquisition. Unrealized investment loss represents non-cash expenses associated with the change in fair value of the equity investment. The Company also believes that the use of the non-GAAP measures facilitates investors’ assessment of the Company’s financial and operating performance.

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 income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc., and non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. per ADS is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations. Share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition and unrealized investment loss have been and may continue to be incurred in the Company’s business and is not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and non-GAAP net income (loss). Further, the non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP measures used by other companies, including peer companies, potentially limiting the comparability of their financial results to the Company’s. In light of the foregoing limitations, the non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net margin, non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. and non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. per ADS for the period should not be considered in isolation from or as an alternative to income (loss) from operations, operating margin, net income (loss), net margin, net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. and net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. per ADS, or other financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measures, which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance. For reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the section of the accompanying tables titled, “Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results.”
