Baozun Announces First Quarter 2026 Unaudited Financial Results

​

SHANGHAI, May 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Baozun Inc. (Nasdaq: BZUN and HKEX: 9991) (“Baozun”, the “Company” or the “Group”), a leading brand e-commerce solution provider and digital commerce enabler in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Mr. Vincent Qiu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Baozun, commented, “The first quarter of 2026 was robust across the board. We achieved growth in revenue, profitability, and improvement in working capital efficiency, reflecting genuine improvement in our value proposition and, in turn, stronger sales and profit conversion. BEC resumed sustainable growth, evolving into a higher-quality and value-driven business through enhanced brand partnerships, tighter BBM integration, and disciplined operational refinement. BBM accelerated its revenue growth, while GAP achieved its second consecutive quarter of non-GAAP operating breakeven, validating the strength of our Merchandising-Marketing-Channel (MMC) methodology. Both divisions are performing in synchrony, and operational synergies are emerging.”

Chief Financial Officer commented, “We are pleased with our 15% year-over-year revenue growth and the return to non-GAAP operating profitability at the group level, especially given that the first quarter is typically a seasonally softer period for topline performance. Both BEC and BBM significantly improved their bottom lines alongside double-digit revenue growth. We also conducted comprehensive working capital reviews and streamlined technology processes to further optimize resource allocation and operating efficiency. Overall, working capital turnover days in the first quarter of 2026 improved to 109 days from 193 days in the first quarter of 2025, reflecting our operational discipline and rigor. With focused execution, enhanced margins, and strong performance from both divisions, we remain confident in sustaining our profitability trajectory.”

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Total net revenues were RMB2,381.1 million (US$345.2 million), an increase of 15.3% from RMB2,064.4 million in the same quarter of last year. The increase in total net revenues was driven by revenue growth in both the Company’s BEC and BBM business lines.

Total product sales revenue was RMB1,045.0 million (US$151.5 million), an increase of 29.1% compared with RMB809.3 million in the same quarter of last year, of which,

• Product sales revenue of E-Commerce was RMB510.3 million (US$74.0 million), an increase of 20.6% compared with RMB423.2 million in the same quarter of last year. The increase was primarily driven by sales growth across all key categories, benefiting from both deeper brand relationships and improved execution on major platforms.
• Product sales revenue of Brand Management was RMB537.6 million (US$77.9 million), an increase of 39.0% from RMB386.7 million in the same quarter of last year. The increase was primarily driven by higher sales from the Gap brand, as the Company continued to optimize merchandising plans, channels and marketing initiatives to boost sales.

Services revenue was RMB1,336.0 million (US$193.7 million), an increase of 6.5% from RMB1,255.1 million in the same quarter of last year. The increase was primarily attributable to double-digit revenue growth in digital marketing and IT solutions and online store operations.

Total operating expenses were RMB2,380.8 million (US$345.1 million), compared with RMB2,148.4 million in the same quarter of last year.

• Cost of products was RMB694.8 million (US$100.7 million), compared with RMB547.2 million in the same quarter of last year. The increase was primarily driven by growth in sales volume, partially offset by cost reductions resulting from efficiency improvements.
• Fulfillment expenses were RMB519.2 million (US$75.3 million), compared with RMB524.5 million in the same quarter of last year. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in E-commerce warehouse and logistics revenue, along with the Company’s cost control initiatives and efficiency improvements.
• Sales and marketing expenses were RMB893.3 million (US$129.5 million), compared with RMB800.4 million in the same quarter of last year. The increase was mainly due to higher revenue contributions from digital marketing services for BEC, as well as increased expenses associated with the expansion of offline stores and marketing activities for BBM during the quarter.
• Technology and content expenses were RMB124.8 million (US$18.1 million), compared with RMB116.5 million in the same quarter of last year. The increase was primarily due to more revenue contribution from technology monetization, partially offset by the company’s continued efforts to implement cost control and efficiency improvement initiatives.

Unrealized investment loss was RMB4.4 million (US$0.6 million), compared with an unrealized investment gain of RMB12.4 million in the same quarter of last year.

Fair value change on financial instruments was a gain of RMB0.9 million (US$0.1 million), compared with a loss of RMB13.6 million in the same quarter of last year. The fair value change on financial instruments is mainly comprised of the gain recognized from the financial instruments the Company invested in.

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 net income (loss), non-GAAP net margin, non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun and diluted non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun 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.

The Company defines non-GAAP income (loss) from operations as income (loss) from operations excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition, impairment of goodwill and cancelation fees of repurchased. The Company defines non-GAAP net income (loss) as net (loss) income excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition, impairment of goodwill and investments, other-than-temporary impairment of equity method investments, cancellation fees of repurchased ADSs, fair value gain on derivative liabilities, loss (gain) on disposal/acquisition of subsidiaries, and unrealized investment loss (gain). The Company defines non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun as net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition, impairment of goodwill and investments, other-than-temporary impairment of equity method investments, cancellation fees of repurchased ADSs, fair value gain on derivative liabilities, loss (gain) on disposal/acquisition of subsidiaries, and unrealized investment loss (gain). The Company defines diluted non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun per ADS as non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun 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, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun and Non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun per ADS reflect the Company’s ongoing business operations in a manner that allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that the use of the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors to understand and evaluate the Company’s current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management does, if they so choose. The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gain/loss and other items that are not expected to result in future cash payments or that are non-recurring in nature or may not be indicative of the Company’s core operating results and business outlook.

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, and non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun per ADS is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations. 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 and non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun 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 and net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun 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. The Company encourages you to review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. 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.”
