· Net revenues increased 20.1% year over year to $12.5 million, compared to $10.4 million in the first quarter of 2014
· Gross profit1 was $8.1 million, compared to $7.5 million in the first quarter of 2014

“Our efforts in expanding our health, beauty and lifestyle products business were reflected in strong topline growth during the first quarter of 2015,” said Mecox Lane’s director and chief executive officer, Ms. Ingrid Wang. “In addition to offering new proprietary products during the quarter, we engaged in corporate branding and product promotions and revamped our online customer engagement channels to help attract and retain customers. Going forward, we will tailor our marketing activities based on customer profiles and continue to utilize social media and other marketing and customer engagement tools to help improve repeat purchases and conversion rates.”
First Quarter 2015 Results
The Company presents its financial results on a year-over-year basis between the first quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2014, as in the following paragraphs. Mecox Lane completed the spin-off of its apparel and accessories business on September 18, 2014. Following the spin-off, financial results related to the apparel and accessories business were reclassified as discontinued operations for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014. The following results reflect the Company’s continuing operations.
Total Net Revenues
Total net revenues were $12.5 million in the first quarter of 2015, representing a 20.1% increase from $10.4 million in the first quarter of 2014. The increase was mainly due to strong results from the launch of new proprietary products including a functional nutrition enzyme supplement and a collagen skein skin care product, along with other Chinese New Year promotion activities.
Cost of Goods Sold2
Cost of goods sold was $4.3 million in the first quarter of 2015, representing an increase of 47.9% from $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2014.
1 Gross profit excludes the impact of depreciation and amortization expenses.
2 Cost of goods sold excludes depreciation and amortization expenses.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit was $8.1 million in the first quarter of 2015, representing a 9.2% increase from $7.5 million in the first quarter of 2014. Gross margin was 65.2% in the first quarter of 2015, compared to 71.7% in the first quarter of 2014. The decrease in gross margin was mainly due to supplier discounts for SONOKO-brand products in the first quarter of 2014, which led to higher margins, as well as increases in loyalty promotions and cash coupons used to attract new customers in the first quarter of 2015.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses were $7.5 million in the first quarter of 2015, representing a 40.3% increase from $5.3 million in the first quarter of 2014.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were $6.8 million in the first quarter of 2015, representing a 31.9% increase from $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2014, primarily due to higher sales bonuses, general increased payroll and social welfare costs, as well as an increase of $0.4 million in marketing expenses related to corporate brand building.

Safe Harbor: Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements made under the “safe harbor” provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “aims,” “estimates,” “confident,” “likely to” and similar statements. Among other things, the quotations from management in this press release, as well as the Company’s strategic and operational plans, contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement, including but not limited to the following: the Company’s business strategies and initiatives as well as its business plans; the Company’s future business development, results of operations and financial condition; changes in the Company’s revenues and cost or expense items; the Company’s expectations with respect to increased revenue growth and its ability to sustain profitability; the Company’s products under development or planning; the Company’s ability to attract customers and further enhance its brand recognition; trends and competition in the industry in which the Company operates; the failure of the markets to grow at the projected rates; the rapidly changing nature of the industry in which the Company operates; and significant uncertainties of any projections or estimates relating to the growth prospects or future condition of the market. If any one or more of the assumptions underlying the market data turns out to be incorrect, actual results may differ from the projections based on these assumptions. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Further information regarding these and other risks is included in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F as well as in its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All information provided in this press release is current as of the date of the press release, and the Company undertakes no duty to update such information, except as required under applicable law.
About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement Mecox Lane’s consolidated financial results presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), Mecox Lane uses in this press release non-GAAP net income (loss), which excludes share-based compensation expenses. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Mecox Lane believes that the non-GAAP financial measure facilitates investors’ and management’s comparisons to Mecox Lane’s historical performance and assists management’s financial and operational decision making. A limitation of using the non-GAAP financial measure is that share-based compensation expenses are recurring expenses that will continue to exist in Mecox Lane’s business for the foreseeable future. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from the non-GAAP measure. The accompanying table has more details on the reconciliation between the non-GAAP financial measure and its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Non-GAAP net loss (1) |

Note (1) We define non-GAAP net income (loss), a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income (loss) excluding share-based compensation expenses. We review non-GAAP net income (loss) together with net income (loss) to obtain a better understanding of our operating performance. We also believe it is useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess our operating performance without the effect of non-cash sharebased compensation expenses, which have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in our business. However, the use of non-GAAP net income (loss) has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using non-GAAP net income (loss) is that it does not include all items that impact our net income (loss) for the period. In addition, because non-GAAP net income (loss) is not calculated in the same manner by all companies, it may not be comparable to other similar titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-GAAP net income (loss) in isolation from or as an alternative to net income (loss) prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The following table sets forth the reconciliation of non-GAAP net income (loss), a non-GAAP financial measure, from net income (loss), our most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for the periods indicated.
