Furthermore, we continually integrate functions in our tech-powered middle-office to substantially improve productivity, service quality, and ultimately cost optimization. Although a weaker consumption sentiment permeates the fourth quarter, we continue to see acceleration in the deployment of omni-channel strategy. Built on our excellent value-creation capability and strong business development, I’m glad to see our new business pipeline expanded three-fold from a year ago. For 2022, we are poised to bring best-in-class services and innovative solutions to our brand partners, and march further on our medium-term strategic plans to drive business growth and sustainable value creation.”

With confidence in the company’s long-term prospects, we repurchased approximately US$164.9 million of our shares throughout the year. Looking ahead into 2022, we will pursue additional expansion opportunities and further optimize our financial structure and resource allocation. We remain confident in our business model and investment strategy, and we are steadfast on our mission to become the leading global brand e-commerce business partner.”

 

Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Results

 

Total net revenues were RMB3,172.9 million (US$497.9 million), a decrease of 5.2% from RMB3,346.7 million in the same quarter of last year.

 

Product sales revenue was RMB1,230.0 million (US$193.0 million), a decrease of 16.6% from RMB1,474.2 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 sales contraction in appliances, personal-care products, as well as lower product sales as the Company optimizes its product portfolio in distribution model.

 

 

 

 

Services revenue was RMB1,942.9 million (US$304.9 million), an increase of 3.8% from RMB1,872.5 million in the same quarter of last year. The increase was primarily attributable to incremental revenue contribution of RMB282.9 million (US$44.4 million) from the Company’s acquisitions, especially from two warehouse and supply chain businesses, which was partially offset by less service revenue from consignment service model.

 

Total operating expenses were RMB3,168.9 million (US$497.3 million), compared with RMB3,046.1 million in the same quarter of last year.

 

lCost of products was RMB1,043.6 million (US$163.8 million), compared with RMB1,286.7 million in the same quarter of last year. The decrease was primarily due to the decline in product sales revenue, which was partially offset by an improvement in gross profit margin of product sales.

 

lFulfillment expenses were RMB958.9 million (US$150.5 million), compared with RMB851.0 million in the same quarter of last year. The increase was primarily due to the fulfillment cost of RMB221.5 million (US$34.8 million) incurred by two warehouse and supply chain businesses acquired in current year, which was partially offset by efficiency improvements.

 

lSales and marketing expenses were RMB895.4 million (US$140.5 million), compared with RMB741.4 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.

 

lTechnology and content expenses were RMB126.1 million (US$19.8 million) compared with RMB110.1 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.

 

lGeneral and administrative expenses were RMB157.1 million (US$24.7 million), compared with RMB69.2 million in the same quarter of last year. The increase was primarily due to an accelerated amortization of leasehold as the Company moved to its new headquarters in October 2021, a rise in staff costs to recruit and retain talents and an increase from the Company’s M&A activities.

 

Income from operations was RMB4.0 million (US$0.6 million), compared with RMB300.6 million in the same quarter of last year. Operating margin was 0.1%, compared with 9.0% in the same quarter of last year.

 

Non-GAAP income from operations was RMB71.0 million (US$11.1 million), compared with RMB333.1 million in the same quarter of last year. Non-GAAP operating margin was 2.2%, compared with 10.0% in the same quarter of last year.

 

 

 

 

Net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. was RMB8.3 million (US$1.3 million), compared with net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. of RMB239.3 million in the same quarter of last year. Basic and diluted net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. per ADS were both RMB0.12 (US$0.02), compared with basic and diluted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. per ADS of RMB3.27 and RMB3.17, respectively, in the same period of 2020.

 

Non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. was RMB75.7 million (US$11.9 million), compared with RMB271.6 million in the same quarter of last year. Basic and diluted non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. per ADS were RMB1.12 (US$0.18) and RMB1.11 (US$0.17), respectively, compared with RMB3.71 and RMB3.58, respectively, in the same period of 2020.

lCost of products was RMB3,276.6 million (US$514.2 million), a slight decrease compared with RMB3,326.2 million in fiscal year 2020.

lFulfillment expenses were RMB2,661.1 million (US$417.6 million), compared with RMB2,259.2 million in fiscal year 2020. The increase was primarily due to the fulfillment cost incurred by two warehouse and supply chain businesses acquired in current year.

 

lSales and marketing expenses were RMB2,549.8 million (US$400.1 million), compared with RMB2,130.7 million in fiscal year 2020.

lTechnology and content expenses were RMB448.4 million (US$70.4 million) compared with RMB409.9 million in fiscal year 2020. 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.

 

 

 

 

lGeneral and administrative expenses were RMB525.8 million (US$82.5 million), compared with RMB224.0 million in fiscal year 2020.

The sequential increase in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments was primary attributable to a proceed of RMB1,290.8 million (US$202.6 million) received from Cainiao Network for its 30% equity investment in Baotong, the Company’s subsidiary for the warehouse and supply chain business group.

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.”
