      • GMV[1] for the first quarter of 2024 increased by 8.0% year over year to RMB52.4 billion from RMB48.5 billion in the prior year period.
      • Gross profit for the first quarter of 2024 increased by 10.9% year over year to RMB6.5 billion (US$906.5 million) from RMB5.9 billion in the prior year period.
      • Net income attributable to Vipshop's shareholders for the first quarter of 2024 increased by 24.6% year over year to RMB2.3 billion (US$320.9 million) from RMB1.9 billion in the prior year period.
      • Non-GAAP net income attributable to Vipshop's shareholders[2] for the first quarter of 2024 increased by 24.8% year over year to RMB2.6 billion (US$357.7 million) from RMB2.1 billion in the prior year period.

      Mr. Eric Shen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Vipshop, stated, "The first quarter saw slow business momentum after a strong start due to softer-than-expected seasonal demands. Nonetheless, sales of apparel categories continued to stand out and active Super VIP members achieved double-digit growth. To navigate the dynamic environment, we remain focusing on priorities of enhancing long-term strength. We continue to increase our appeal to consumers by addressing their preferences and strengthening our differentiation to consistently offer great values. While we are cautious in the near-term outlook, we are confident to achieve long-term growth with our unique value proposition and solid business foundation."

      Mr. Mark Wang, Chief Financial Officer of Vipshop, further commented, "We recorded another quarter of strong profit growth. Margins remained very healthy attributable to higher-margin categories and disciplined operations. In addition, we continued to implement our share repurchase program, as part of our long-term commitment to delivering consistent returns to our shareholders. Looking ahead, we believe we are in a great position to capture the growth opportunities while maintaining good profitability for the long term."

      Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

      The condensed consolidated financial information is derived from the Company's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), except that comparative consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the period presented and detailed footnote disclosures required by Accounting Standards Codification 270, Interim Reporting ("ASC270"), have been omitted. Vipshop uses non-GAAP net income attributable to Vipshop's shareholders, non-GAAP net income attributable to Vipshop's shareholders per diluted ADS, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net margin attributable to Vipshop's shareholders, and free cash flow, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure. For the periods presented in this press release, non-GAAP net income attributable to Vipshop's shareholders is net income attributable to Vipshop's shareholders excluding (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) investment (gain) loss and revaluation of investments excluding dividends, (iii) reconciling items on the share of equity method investments, and (iv) tax effects on non-GAAP adjustments. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Vipshop's shareholders per diluted ADS is computed using non-GAAP net income attributable to Vipshop's shareholders divided by weighted average number of diluted ADS outstanding for computing diluted earnings per ADS. Non-GAAP income from operations is income from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP operating margin is non-GAAP income from operations as a percentage of total net revenues. Non-GAAP net margin attributable to Vipshop's shareholders is non-GAAP net income attributable to Vipshop's shareholders as a percentage of total net revenues. Free cash flow is net cash from operating activities adding back the impact from internet financing activities and less capital expenditures, which include purchase and deposits of property and equipment and land use rights. Impact from internet financing activities added back or deducted from free cash flow contains changes in the balances of financial products, which are primarily consumer financing and supplier financing that the Company provides to customers and suppliers. The Company believes that separate analysis and exclusion of the non-cash impact of (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) investment (gain) loss and revaluation of investments excluding dividends, (iii) reconciling items on the share of equity method investments, and (iv) tax effects on non-GAAP adjustments add clarity to the constituent parts of its performance. The Company reviews these non-GAAP financial measures together with GAAP financial measures to obtain a better understanding of its operating performance. It uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning, forecasting, and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) investment (gain) loss and revaluation of investments excluding dividends, (iii) reconciling items on the share of equity method investments, and (iv) tax effects on non-GAAP adjustments. Free cash flow enables the Company to assess liquidity and cash flow, taking into account the impact from internet financing activities and the financial resources needed for the expansion of fulfillment infrastructure, technology platform, and Shan Shan Outlets. Share-based compensation expenses have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in its business. However, the use of non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact the Company's net income for the period. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not measured in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similar titled measures used by other companies. One of the key limitations of free cash flow is that it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures.

      The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Vipshop Holdings Limited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" at the end of this release.
