In this article:

SHANGHAI, Aug. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- 111, Inc. ("111" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: YI), a leading tech-enabled healthcare platform company committed to digitally connecting patients with medicine and healthcare services in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Second Quarter 2023 Highlights

  • Net revenues were RMB3.5 billion (US$479.6 million), representing an increase of 14.5% year-over-year.

  • Gross segment profit(1) increased by 8.3% year-over-year, with B2B segment profit increasing by 11.6% year-over-year.

  • Total operating expenses were RMB249.3million (US$34.4million), compared to RMB271.7 million in the same quarter of last year. As a percentage of net revenues, total operating expenses decreased to 7.2% from 8.9% in the same quarter of last year, which reflected continuous improvement in our operation efficiency.

  • Loss from operations was RMB41.4 million (US$5.7 million), compared to RMB79.8 million in the same quarter of last year. As a percentage of net revenues, loss from operations decreased to 1.2% from 2.6% in the same quarter of last year.

  • Non-GAAP loss from operations(2) was RMB17.2 million (US$2.4 million), compared to RMB52.8 million in the same quarter of last year. As a percentage of net revenues, non-GAAP loss from operations decreased to 0.5% from 1.7% in the same quarter of last year.

(1) Gross segment profit represents net revenues less cost of goods sold.

(2) Non-GAAP loss from operations represents loss from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses.

Mr. Junling Liu, Co-Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of 111, commented, "We're delighted to announce yet another robust quarter in terms of top-line expansion with narrowed losses both on a GAAP and a Non-GAAP operational basis. Our net revenue saw a rise of 14.5% year-over-year, reaching RMB3.5 billion. This represents the 20th consecutive quarter of year-over-year progression for 111 since our NASDAQ IPO. Additionally, our gross segment profit for this quarter rose by 8.3% compared to the same period last year. Consequently, our operational loss stood at RMB41.4 million (US$5.7 million), down from RMB79.8 million during the same quarter the previous year. When viewed as a percentage of net revenues, the operational loss reduced to 1.2%, compared to 2.6% in the corresponding quarter of the prior year. Meanwhile, Non-GAAP operational loss reduced to RMB17.2 million, dropping to 0.5% of net revenues from the previous 1.7% during the same quarter of the preceding year."

Mr. Liu added, "Furthermore, we've made strides in improving our operational efficiency, with total operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues falling to 7.2% this quarter, down from 8.9% in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. We anticipate maintaining this positive trajectory as we expand. Concurrently, our dedication remains steadfast in providing top-tier services to our customers and patients."

"Our recent achievements are a direct result of our unwavering strategic focus, particularly on digitization. In June, we forged a strategic alliance with Tencent to amplify the reach of online pharmaceutical services. By July, 111 secured a spot on the Shanghai Data Exchange, propelling the digital transformation of the pharmaceutical landscape. That same month, we unveiled a pivotal digital supply chain product, bolstering the momentum of supply-side digitization. This quarter, in acknowledgment of 111's digital prowess, the Ministry of Commerce distinguished us as an E-commerce Demonstration Enterprise, placing us among the top 132 nationwide. Capitalizing on our reinforced digital capabilities and robust relationships with over 500 pharmaceutical allies, as well as optimizing operations for 435,000 retail pharmacies, we remain committed to fine-tuning our strategies, and will keep on capitalizing on innovative tools like "Telescope" and tapping into the latest tech advancements, ensuring sustained growth and efficiency.

"We are confident that our initiatives aimed at margin expansion, cost optimization, and organizational alignment have yielded tangible outcomes. Our focus remains on refining our product selection in line with customer preferences, driving down costs through direct sourcing, and enhancing our market edge with smart pricing strategies. Our commitment to supply chain efficiency and relentless digitization bolsters process enhancement and sparks innovation. With our robust technological prowess, we're poised to scale further, ensure profitability, and consistently amplify value for our shareholders."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, and non-GAAP loss per ADS, as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. The Company defines non-GAAP loss from operations as loss from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses. The Company defines non-GAAP net loss as net loss excluding share-based compensation expenses, net of tax. The Company defines non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders as net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses, net of tax. The Company defines non-GAAP loss per ADS as net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders per ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses, net of tax per ADS. 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 believes that non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, and non-GAAP loss per ADS help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that it includes in loss from operations and net loss. Share-based compensation expenses is a non-cash expense that varies from period to period. As a result, management excludes the items from its internal operating forecasts and models. Management believes that the adjustments for share-based compensation expenses provide investors with a reasonable basis to measure the company's core operating performance, in a more meaningful comparison with the performance of other companies. The Company believes that non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, and non-GAAP loss per ADS provide useful information about its operating results, enhances the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the management in their financial and operational decision-making.

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 loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, or non-GAAP loss per ADS is that it does not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company's operations. Further, the non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.

The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance. The Company encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures is included at the end of this press release.
