“Alibaba’s full-stack AI investments have progressed from incubation to commercialization at scale. This quarter, we achieved accelerated breakthroughs across models, cloud infrastructure, and applications,” said Eddie Wu, Chief Executive Officer of Alibaba Group. “Cloud Intelligence Group’s external revenue growth accelerated to 40%, with AI-related products accounting for 30% of this revenue. Our Qwen LLM demonstrated leadership in reasoning and coding while we strengthened our multimodal model portfolio with the launch of video generation and world models. As we see massive potential for agentic AI, we launched multiple enterprise AI agents for office and coding use cases, and we fully integrated e-commerce capabilities into the consumer-facing Qwen app, deepening synergies between AI and our consumer ecosystem.”

“Our strategic investments continued to translate into business growth. Cloud Intelligence Group’s revenue continued to accelerate, with AI-related product revenue achieving triple-digit growth for the eleventh consecutive quarter. China e-commerce customer management revenue grew 8% on a like-for-like basis. The unit economics and average order value of quick commerce steadily improved. We are confident in our business outlook and will continue to invest in AI + Cloud to strengthen our competitive advantages,” said Toby Xu, Chief Financial Officer of Alibaba Group.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

In the quarter ended March 31,2026:

· Revenue<br> was RMB243,380 million (US$35,283 million), an increase of 3% year-over-year. Excluding revenue<br> from the disposed businesses of Sun Art and Intime, revenue on a like-for-like basis would<br> have grown by 11% year-over-year.
· Customer management revenue increased by 1% year-over-year. Excluding the contra revenue impact<br> from the new business development program, customer management revenue on a like-for-like<br> basis would have grown by 8% year-over-year.
--- ---
· Loss from operations was RMB848 million (US$123 million), compared to an income from operations<br> of RMB28,465 million in the same quarter of 2025, primarily due to the decrease in adjusted<br> EBITA. Adjusted EBITA, a non-GAAP measurement, decreased 84% year-over-year to RMB5,102<br> million (US$740 million), primarily attributable to the investment in technology businesses,<br> quick commerce and user experiences, partly offset by the improved operating results supported<br> by continued growth in customer management service and Cloud business, as well as enhanced<br> operating efficiencies across various businesses.
--- ---
· Net income attributable to ordinary shareholders was RMB25,476 million (US$3,693 million).<br> Net income was RMB23,502 million (US$3,407 million), an increase of 96% year-over-year,<br> primarily attributable to the year-over-year increase in net gain from mark-to-market changes<br> of our equity investments, and disposal losses of Sun Art and Intime in the same quarter<br> last year, partly offset by the decrease in adjusted EBITA. Non-GAAP net income in<br> the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was RMB86 million (US$12 million), a decrease of 100%<br> compared to RMB29,847 million in the same quarter of 2025.
--- ---
· Diluted earnings per ADS was RMB10.36 (US$1.50). Diluted earnings per share was RMB1.30<br> (US$0.19 or HK$1.47). Non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS was RMB0.62 (US$0.09), a decrease<br> of 95% year-over-year. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was RMB0.08 (US$0.01 or<br> HK$0.09), a decrease of 95% year-over-year.
--- ---
· Net cash provided by operating activities was RMB9,410 million (US$1,364 million), a decrease<br> of 66% compared to RMB27,520 million in the same quarter of 2025. Free cash flow,<br> a non-GAAP measurement of liquidity, was an outflow of RMB17,300 million (US$2,508 million),<br> compared to an inflow of RMB3,743 million in the same quarter of 2025. The decrease in free<br> cash flow was mainly attributed to the investment in quick commerce, user acquisition of<br> Qwen app and increase in our cloud infrastructure expenditure. As of March 31, 2026,<br> our cash and other liquid investments^(1)^ were RMB520,824 million (US$75,504<br> million).

--- ---
· Income from operations was RMB50,150 million (US$7,270 million), a decrease of 64% year-over-year,<br> primarily due to the decrease in adjusted EBITA and increase in impairment of goodwill, partly<br> offset by the decrease in one-time provisions and non-cash share-based expenses. Adjusted EBITA, a non-GAAP measurement, decreased 56% year-over-year to RMB76,416 million (US$11,078<br> million), primarily attributable to the investment in quick commerce, user experiences, and<br> technology businesses, partly offset by the improved operating results supported by continued<br> growth in customer management service and Cloud business, as well as enhanced operating efficiencies<br> across various businesses.

BUSINESS AND STRATEGIC UPDATES

Consumption Businesses

Alibaba China E-commerce Group

We are prioritizing the integration of AI capabilities with our e-commerce applications to enhance the experiences for both consumers and merchants. On the consumer side, we integrated Taobao and Tmall e-commerce service into the Qwen app, thereby expanding Qwen’s user reach and adding a brand new AI-driven experience for our Taobao and Tmall customers. Additionally, the Taobao app launched the Qwen Shopping Assistant, an AI agent providing end-to-end assistance across the entire shopping journey, including idea generation, product discovery, in-sale support, order management, and post-purchase services. For merchants, we rolled out Wukong, our AI-native enterprise agent that integrates advanced agentic capabilities into workflow to bring efficiency to merchant operations.

To help merchants grow their businesses and increase willingness to spend on our platform, we upgraded our business development program for select merchants during the quarter, under which the level of platform subsidies for these merchants is directly tied to their marketing spend on our platform. For accounting purposes, such subsidies previously recorded as sales and marketing expenses are now recorded as a contra revenue item to customer management revenue (CMR). Accordingly, CMR grew 1% year-over-year during the quarter. Excluding the contra revenue impact from the program, on a like-for-like basis, CMR would have grown 8% year-over-year.

Our quick commerce business remained focused on scaling the business while improving unit economics, with increasing focus on high-value food orders and non-food categories. The quick commerce business further improved unit economics, and increased average order value quarter-over-quarter primarily driven by order mix optimization.

The number of 88VIP members, our highest spending consumer group, continued to increase by double digits year-over-year, surpassing 62 million. We remain focused on the retention of 88VIP members through enhanced value proposition to our most valued customers.

Alibaba International Digital CommerceGroup (“AIDC”)

During the quarter, AIDC narrowed loss significantly year-over-year, approaching break-even, driven by a combination of logistics optimization and operating efficiency. The unit economics of the AliExpress’ Choice business continued to improve substantially on a sequential basis. We aim to diversify and enrich our product offerings by leveraging the supply chain advantages of the Alibaba ecosystem. AliExpress’ “Brand+” program further accelerated brand onboarding, and the penetration of quarterly transacting consumers for “Brand+” surpassed 30% during the quarter.

Our international wholesale platform, Alibaba.com, continued to broaden adoption of its AI-powered tools among merchants. In addition to our established AI sourcing agent Accio, we also launched Accio Work, an agentic business platform designed to handle the full operating lifecycle of global small and medium-sized businesses beyond sourcing alone, aiming to significantly lower the entry barrier for cross-border commerce and enhance operational efficiency.

AI + Cloud Businesses

Cloud Intelligence Group

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, revenue from Cloud Intelligence Group was RMB41,626 million (US$6,035 million), a 38% increase from the same quarter last year. Notably, the year-over-year growth of revenue from external customers accelerated to 40%. This momentum was primarily driven by public cloud revenue growth, including the increasing adoption of AI-related products. AI-related product revenue continued to show strong momentum, achieving RMB8,971 million and delivering the eleventh consecutive quarter of triple-digit year-over-year growth.

Alibaba Cloud continues to onboard more customers to our comprehensive AI + cloud products and services, including high-performance networking, distributed storage, cloud operating system, and services for model training and inference. We are executing our strategy to lead China’s AI cloud market through our comprehensive full-stack AI capabilities across AI models, AI cloud infrastructure, and orchestration software that manages heterogeneous chip clusters, including our own proprietary inference chips.

During the quarter, we focused on executing our Model-as-a-Service (MaaS) strategy. As we observed rapidly increasing demand for MaaS, we launched a diverse portfolio of offerings on our MaaS platform Model Studio tailored to users ranging from individual developers to large enterprises. This comprises an expanded lineup of state-of-the-art models such as Qwen3.6-Plus, enterprise solutions with flexible Token Plans, and a growing suite of agents including Wukong, Meoo, and industry-specific agents. As a result, the customer base for Model Studio grew by eight-fold year-over-year as of March 2026.

Model

We continue to push the boundaries of AI capabilities through deep innovation, and we achieved significant breakthroughs in model intelligence recently through a series of new model launches within our large language and multimodal model portfolio.

In March, we introduced Qwen3.6-Plus which delivered significant all-round performance gains, with particularly notable improvements in coding and agentic programming. It achieves state-of-the-art results across front-end web development and complex repository-level tasks. Qwen3.6-Plus also features enhanced multimodal perception and reasoning, and a native context window of up to 1 million tokens, while further improving stability and reliability.

Complementing the Qwen family, we are also advancing specialized models including HappyOyster, a world model enabling real-time creation and interaction, and HappyHorse, a multimodal model for video generation. The commercialization of both models is currently being rolled out in phases.

Chip Design – T-Head

T-Head Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (“T-Head”), our chip design subsidiary, has achieved widespread industrial application of its proprietary AI chips, with the automotive sector serving as a leading example of large-scale adoption. Over 100,000 Zhenwu PPUs have been deployed on Alibaba Cloud’s public cloud platform, with more than 30 leading automakers and autonomous driving companies leveraging the chips for intelligent driving R&D. The Zhenwu chips, together with Alibaba Cloud and Qwen models, form a fully integrated technology stack that significantly accelerates both training and inference efficiency.

The<br> majority of revenue within All others consists of direct sales, where revenue and cost of<br> inventory are recorded on a gross basis, and revenue from logistics services. The decrease<br> was primarily due to the revenue decrease as a result of the disposal of Sun Art and Intime<br> businesses, as well as the decrease in revenue from Cainiao, partly offset by the increase<br> in revenue from Freshippo and Amap.

Without the effect of share-based compensation expense, cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue would have increased from 61.4% in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 to 65.3% in the quarter ended March 31, 2026, primarily driven by the growth in our cloud and technology businesses, and our expansion in quick commerce businesses, partly offset by the disposal of Sun Art and Intime.

Product development expenses – Product development expenses in the quarter ended March 31, 2026 were RMB18,957 million (US$2,748 million), or 7.8% of revenue, compared to RMB14,934 million, or 6.3% of revenue, in the same quarter of 2025. Without the effect of share-based compensation expense, product development expenses as a percentage of revenue would have increased from 5.7% in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 to 7.3% in the quarter ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to investments in our research and development personnel and other technology infrastructure costs.

Sales and marketing expenses – Sales and marketing expenses in the quarter ended March 31, 2026 were RMB53,415 million (US$7,744 million), or 21.9% of revenue, compared to RMB36,179 million, or 15.3% of revenue, in the same quarter of 2025. Without the effect of share-based compensation expense, sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue would have increased from 15.0% in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 to 21.8% in the quarter ended March 31, 2026, primarily attributable to the investment in quick commerce business and user acquisition of Qwen app.

General and administrative expenses – General and administrative expenses in the quarter ended March 31, 2026 were RMB9,949 million (US$1,442 million), or 4.1% of revenue, compared to RMB10,331 million, or 4.4% of revenue, in the same quarter of 2025. Without the effect of share-based compensation expense, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue would have decreased from 4.0% in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 to 3.7% in the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

(2) This<br> represents share-based awards of our subsidiaries and Ant Group granted to our employees.
--- ---
(3) This<br> includes both cash and non-cash share-based compensation expenses.
--- ---

Share-based compensation expense decreased in the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the number of awards granted as we have increased the proportion of long-term cash incentives granted after considering the macroeconomic environment and the general trends in the talent market.

We expect that our share-based compensation expense will continue to be affected by changes in the fair value of the underlying awards and the quantity of awards we grant in the future.

(1) To<br> advance our “user first” strategy and enhance user experience, during the quarter<br> ended June 30, 2025, we undertook a strategic combination of Taobao and Tmall Group,<br> Ele.me and Fliggy into Alibaba China E-commerce Group. We simplified the financial reporting<br> structure by reclassifying Cainiao, Amap and Digital Media and Entertainment Group (rebranded<br> to Hujing Digital Media and Entertainment Group) into “All others”. The above<br> presentation has been updated to conform with the new reporting structure, as reviewed by<br> our chief operating decision maker.
(2) Direct<br> sales, logistics and others revenue under Alibaba China E-commerce Group primarily represents<br> direct sales businesses of Tmall Supermarket, Tmall Global and other businesses, where revenue<br> and cost of inventory are recorded on a gross basis within the business group, as well as<br> revenue from logistics services and value-added services.

(3) Quick<br> commerce revenue represents quick commerce business revenue, including revenue generated<br> through “Taobao Instant Commerce” and the Ele.me app. Quick commerce revenue<br> is net of subsidies that are contra revenue.

(4) All<br> others include Freshippo, Cainiao, Alibaba Health, Hujing Digital Media and Entertainment<br> Group, Amap, Qwen Consumer Business Group, Lingxi Games, DingTalk and other businesses. The<br> majority of revenue within All others consists of direct sales, where revenue and cost of<br> inventory are recorded on a gross basis, and revenue from logistics services. The decrease<br> was primarily due to the revenue decrease as a result of the disposal of Sun Art and Intime<br> businesses, as well as the decrease in revenue from Cainiao, partly offset by the increase<br> in revenue from Freshippo, Alibaba Health and Amap.

Cost of revenue – Cost of revenue in fiscal year 2026 was RMB616,136 million (US$89,321 million), or 60.2% of revenue, compared to RMB598,285 million, or 60.0% of revenue, in fiscal year 2025. Without the effect of share-based compensation expense, cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue would have increased from 59.8% in fiscal year 2025 to 60.0% in fiscal year 2026, primarily driven by our expansion in quick commerce business, and the growth in our cloud and technology businesses, partly offset by the disposal of Sun Art and Intime businesses, improvement in monetization and operating efficiency.

Product development expenses – Product development expenses in fiscal year 2026 were RMB66,533 million (US$9,645 million), or 6.5% of revenue, compared to RMB57,151 million, or 5.7% of revenue, in fiscal year 2025. Without the effect of share-based compensation expense, product development expenses as a percentage of revenue would have increased from 5.1% in fiscal year 2025 to 5.9% in fiscal year 2026.

Sales and marketing expenses – Sales and marketing expenses in fiscal year 2026 were RMB245,023 million (US$35,521 million), or 23.9% of revenue, compared to RMB144,021 million, or 14.5% of revenue, in fiscal year 2025. Without the effect of share-based compensation expense, sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue would have increased from 14.2% in fiscal year 2025 to 23.7% in fiscal year 2026, primarily attributable to the investment in user experiences of Alibaba China E-commerce Group and user acquisition of Qwen app.

General and administrative expenses – General and administrative expenses in fiscal year 2026 were RMB33,082 million (US$4,796 million), or 3.2% of revenue, compared to RMB44,239 million, or 4.4% of revenue, in fiscal year 2025. Without the effect of share-based compensation expense, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue would have decreased from 4.0% in fiscal year 2025 to 2.8% in fiscal year 2026, primarily due to a one-time provision for the shareholder class action lawsuits in fiscal year 2025 and our enhanced cost control measures.

Share-based compensation expense – Total share-based compensation expense included in the cost and expense items above in fiscal year 2026 was RMB14,821 million (US$2,149 million), compared to RMB15,577 million in fiscal year 2025.

The following table sets forth our analysis of share-based compensation expense for the periods indicated by type of share-based awards:

Year ended March 31,
2025 2026 YoY %
RMB RMB US Change
(in millions, except percentages)
By type of awards:
Alibaba<br> Group share-based awards^(1)^ 11,121 9,146 1,326 (18 )%
Others^(2)^ 4,456 5,675 823 27 %
Total<br> share-based compensation expense^(3)^ 15,577 14,821 2,149 (5 )%

All values are in US Dollars.

(1) This represents Alibaba Group share-based awards granted to our employees.
(2) This represents share-based awards of our subsidiaries and Ant Group<br> granted to our employees.
--- ---
(3) This includes both cash and non-cash share-based compensation expenses.
--- ---

Share-based compensation expense decreased in fiscal year 2026 compared to fiscal year 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the number of awards granted as we have increased the proportion of long-term cash incentives granted after considering the macroeconomic environment and the general trends in the talent market.

| 23 |

| --- |

We expect that our share-based compensation expense will continue to be affected by changes in the fair value of the underlying awards and the quantity of awards we grant in the future.

Amortization and impairment of intangibleassets – Amortization and impairment of intangible assets in fiscal year 2026 was RMB5,079 million (US$736 million), a decrease of 20% from RMB6,336 million in fiscal year 2025, primarily due to the full amortization of certain intangible assets, partly offset by the increase in impairment.

Impairment of goodwill – Impairment of goodwill in fiscal year 2026 was RMB9,515 million (US$1,380 million), an increase of 54% from RMB6,171 million in fiscal year 2025, both of which are related to All others segment.

Income from operations and operating margin

Income from operations in fiscal year 2026 was RMB50,150 million (US$7,270 million), or 5% of revenue, a decrease of 64% compared to RMB140,905 million, or 14% of revenue, in fiscal year 2025, primarily due to the decrease in adjusted EBITA and increase in impairment of goodwill, partly offset by the decrease in one-time provisions and non-cash share-based expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITA

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 44% year-over-year to RMB113,483 million (US$16,452 million) in fiscal year 2026, compared to RMB202,325 million in fiscal year 2025. Adjusted EBITA decreased 56% year-over-year to RMB76,416 million (US$11,078 million) in fiscal year 2026, compared to RMB173,065 million in fiscal year 2025, primarily attributable to the investment in quick commerce, user experiences, and technology businesses, partly offset by the improved operating results supported by continued growth in customer management service and Cloud business, as well as enhanced operating efficiencies across various businesses. A reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITA is included at the end of this results announcement.

Adjusted EBITA by segment

Adjusted EBITA by segment as well as a reconciliation of income from operations to adjusted EBITA are set forth in the section entitled “Full Fiscal Year Segment Results” above.

Interest and investment income, net

Interest and investment income, net in fiscal year 2026 was RMB87,512 million (US$12,687 million), an increase of 322% compared to RMB20,759 million in fiscal year 2025, primarily due to the year-over-year increase in net gain from mark-to-market changes of our equity investments, as well as net gains from disposal of investments, including local consumer service business of Trendyol in fiscal year 2026, compared to losses on disposal of Sun Art and Intime in fiscal year 2025.

The above-mentioned investment gains and losses were excluded from our non-GAAP net income.

Other income, net

Other income, net in fiscal year 2026 was RMB1,518 million (US$220 million), a decrease of 55% compared to RMB3,387 million in fiscal year 2025, primarily due to the increase in net exchange loss, arising from the exchange rate fluctuation between Renminbi and U.S. dollar.

Income tax expenses

Income tax expenses in fiscal year 2026 were RMB30,045 million (US$4,356 million), compared to RMB35,445 million in fiscal year 2025.

Share of results of equity method investees in fiscal year 2026 was RMB2,785 million (US$404 million), a decrease of 53% compared to RMB5,966 million in fiscal year 2025. The following table sets forth a breakdown of share of results of equity method investees for the periods indicated:

2025 2026
RMB RMB US
(in millions)
Share of profit (loss) of equity method investees
- Ant Group 12,648 5,048 732

We record our share of results of all equity method investees one quarter in arrears. The year-over-year decrease in share of profit of Ant Group was mainly attributable to the increase in investments in new growth initiatives, including user growth, and technologies.

Net income and Non-GAAP net income

Our net income in fiscal year 2026 was RMB102,127 million (US$14,805 million), compared to RMB125,976 million in fiscal year 2025, primarily attributable to the decrease in income from operations, partly offset by the year-over-year increase in net gain from mark-to-market changes of our equity investments, as well as net gains from disposal of investments, including local consumer service business of Trendyol in fiscal year 2026, compared to losses on disposal of Sun Art and Intime in fiscal year 2025.

A reconciliation of net income to non-GAAP net income is included at the end of this results announcement.

A reconciliation of diluted earnings per ADS/share to non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS/share is included at the end of this results announcement. Each ADS represents eight ordinary shares.

Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and othertreasury investments

As of March 31, 2026, cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and other treasury investments included in equity securities and other investments on the consolidated balance sheets, of which that are unrestricted for withdrawal and use, were RMB520,824 million (US$75,504 million), compared to RMB597,132 million as of March 31, 2025. Other treasury investments consist of fixed deposits, certificates of deposit and marketable debt securities with original maturities over one year for treasury purposes. The decrease of RMB76,308 million during the year ended March 31, 2026, was primarily due to (i) free cash flow outflow of RMB46,609 million (US$6,757 million), (ii) dividend payment of RMB33,732 million (US$4,890 million), (iii) acquisition of additional equity interests in non-wholly owned subsidiaries of RMB16,768 million (US$2,431 million), (iv) effect of exchange rate changes of RMB13,375 million (US$1,939 million) mainly due to the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against Renminbi, partly offset by (v) the net proceeds from issuance of convertible unsecured senior notes and the payments for capped call transactions of RMB20,967 million (US$3,040 million) and (vi) the net proceeds from issuance of exchangeable bonds of RMB10,986 million (US$1,593 million).

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENTS

This results announcement contains forward-looking statements. These statements are made under the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “future,” “aim,” “estimate,” “intend,” “seek,” “plan,” “believe,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “target,” “guidance,” “is/are likely to” and similar statements. In addition, statements that are not historical facts, including statements about Alibaba’s strategies and business and operational plans, Alibaba’s beliefs, expectations and guidance regarding the growth of its business, its operating and financial results, return on investments, strategic investments and dispositions and share repurchases, and the business outlook and quotations from management in this results announcement, are or 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: Alibaba’s ability to compete, innovate and maintain or grow its business; risks associated with sustained investments in Alibaba’s businesses; risks related to strategic transactions; fluctuations in general economic and business conditions in China and globally; uncertainties arising from competition among countries and geopolitical tensions, including national trade, investment, protectionist or other policies and export control, economic or trade sanctions; changes to our shareholder return initiatives; and assumptions underlying or related to any of the foregoing. Further information regarding these and other risks is included in Alibaba’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and announcements on the website of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. All information provided in this results announcement is as of the date of this results announcement and are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable as of this date, and Alibaba does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required under applicable law.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: for our consolidated results, adjusted EBITDA (including adjusted EBITDA margin), adjusted EBITA (including adjusted EBITA margin), non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share/ADS and free cash flow. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please refer to the table captioned “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures to the Nearest Comparable U.S. GAAP Measures” in this results announcement.

We believe that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share/ADS help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain income or expenses that we include in income from operations, net income and diluted earnings per share/ADS. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information about our core operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making. We present three different income measures, namely adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITA and non-GAAP net income in order to provide more information and greater transparency to investors about our operating results.

We consider free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by our business that can be used for strategic corporate transactions, including investing in our new business initiatives, making strategic investments and acquisitions and strengthening our balance sheet.

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITA, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share/ADS and free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to income from operations, net income, diluted earnings per share/ADS, cash flows or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures presented here do not have standardized meanings prescribed by U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to our data.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest and investment income, net, interest expense, other income (expense), net, income tax expenses, share of results of equity method investees, certain non-cash expenses, consisting of share-based compensation expense, amortization and impairment of intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, depreciation and impairment of property and equipment, and operating lease cost relating to land use rights, and others (including provision in relation to matters outside the ordinary course of business), which we do not believe are reflective of our core operating performance during the periods presented.

Adjusted EBITA represents net income before interest and investment income, net, interest expense, other income (expense), net, income tax expenses, share of results of equity method investees, certain non-cash expenses, consisting of share-based compensation expense, amortization and impairment of intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, and others (including provision in relation to matters outside the ordinary course of business), which we do not believe are reflective of our core operating performance during the periods presented.

Non-GAAP net income represents net income before non-cash share-based compensation expense, amortization and impairment of intangible assets, gain or loss on deemed disposals/disposals/revaluation of investments, impairment of goodwill and investments, and others (including provision in relation to matters outside the ordinary course of business), and adjustments for the tax effects.

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share represents non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares, in each case for computing non-GAAP diluted earnings per share on a diluted basis. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS represents non-GAAP diluted earnings per share after adjusting for the ordinary share-to-ADS ratio.

Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities as presented in our consolidated cash flow statement less purchases of property and equipment (excluding acquisition of land use rights and construction in progress relating to office campuses) and intangible assets (excluding those acquired through acquisitions), as well as adjustments to exclude from net cash provided by operating activities the buyer protection fund deposits from merchants on our marketplaces. We deduct certain items of cash flows from investing activities in order to provide greater transparency into cash flow from our revenue-generating business operations. We exclude “acquisition of land use rights and construction in progress relating to office campuses” because the office campuses are used by us for corporate and administrative purposes and are not directly related to our revenue-generating business operations. We also exclude buyer protection fund deposits from merchants on our marketplaces because these deposits are restricted for the purpose of compensating buyers for claims against merchants.

The table captioned “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures to the Nearest Comparable U.S. GAAP Measures” in this results announcement has more details on the non-GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations between these financial measures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We fund our operations and strategic investments from cash generated from our operations and through debt and equity financing. We generated RMB163,509 million and RMB76,213 million of cash from operating activities for the year ended March 31, 2025 and 2026, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and other treasury investments of RMB520,824 million that are unrestricted for withdrawal and use. Short-term investments include investments in fixed deposits with original maturities between three months and one year and certain investments in wealth management products, certificates of deposit, marketable debt securities and other investments whereby we have the intention to redeem within one year. Other treasury investments mainly include investments in fixed deposits, certificates of deposit and marketable debt securities with original maturities over one year for treasury purposes. The remaining maturities of these treasury investments held by us generally range from one to five years.

We believe that our current levels of cash and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next twelve months. However, we may need additional cash resources in the future if we find and wish to pursue opportunities for investment, acquisition, strategic cooperation or other similar actions, which may include investing in technology, infrastructure, including data management and analytics solutions, or related talent. If we determine that our cash requirements exceed our amounts of cash on hand or if we decide to further optimize our capital structure, we may seek to issue additional debt or equity securities or obtain credit facilities or other sources of funding.

In July 2025, we issued zero coupon exchangeable bonds due 2032 by reference to the ordinary shares of our subsidiary, Alibaba Health Information Technology Limited, that are listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, for an aggregate principal amount of approximately HK$12 billion. We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering of the exchangeable bonds for general corporate purposes, including investments to support the development of our cloud infrastructure and international commerce businesses. We are not subject to any financial covenant or other significant operating covenants under the exchangeable bonds.

In September 2025, we issued zero coupon convertible unsecured senior notes due 2032 for an aggregate principal amount of approximately US$3.2 billion. We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering of the convertible unsecured senior notes for general corporate purposes, with a strategic focus on strengthening its cloud infrastructure capabilities and international commerce business operations. We are not subject to any financial covenant or other significant operating covenants under the convertible unsecured senior notes.

We have made a series of amendments to our syndicated loan facility. Following the partial repayment of US$830 million in January 2025, the size of the US$4.0 billion syndicated loan was reduced to US$3.17 billion. In September 2025, we amended the loan facility and reduced the pricing terms to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 66 basis points. Effective in November 2025, the facility was restructured as a revolving credit facility with ancillary facility arrangement. The drawdowns are permitted in both U.S. dollars and Hong Kong dollars, and RMB is also permitted for ancillary facility. The expiration date of the facility was extended to September 30, 2028, with an option to further extend to September 30, 2030. The interest rate of the credit facility is 66 basis points over SOFR or Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate (“HIBOR”), and the margin will be 81 basis points for the optional extension period. In December 2025, we repaid the outstanding balance of US$3.17 billion under the revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2026, we had a total outstanding borrowing amount of RMB3.9 billion (US$0.6 billion) under the ancillary facility arrangement by way of short-term loan facilities and unutilised commitment of approximately US$2.6 billion.

In September 2025, we amended the terms of a US$6.5 billion revolving credit facility agreement. The size of the credit facility was amended to US$3.33 billion and the utilization currency was also amended from U.S. dollar only to both U.S. dollar and Hong Kong dollar. The interest rate of the credit facility was adjusted to SOFR or HIBOR plus 66 basis points. The expiration date of the credit facility was extended to September 30, 2028, with an option to further extend to September 30, 2030 and the margin will be 81 basis points for the optional extension period. We have not yet drawn down this facility.

We monitor the Group’s financial health and liquidity position by reviewing its total debts to adjusted EBITDA ratio and total debts to total capital ratio. Our total debts is defined as the sum of bank borrowings, unsecured senior notes, convertible unsecured senior notes and exchangeable bonds. Our total debts to adjusted EBITDA ratio is calculated by dividing total debts by adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months. Our total debts to total capital ratio is calculated by dividing total debts by total capital. Total capital is calculated as total equity plus total debts. The Group’s total debts to adjusted EBITDA ratio was 1.14 and 2.29 as at March 31, 2025 and 2026, respectively. The Group's total debts to total capital ratio was 17.62% and 18.86% as at March 31, 2025 and 2026, respectively.

The cash consideration for the disposal is approximately US$0.7 billion (RMB5 billion). The disposal was completed during the year ended March 31, 2026.

As at the date of this results announcement, the Group did not have detailed future plans for material investments.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK

Foreign currency risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations. Although we operate businesses in different countries and regions, most of our revenue-generating transactions, and a majority of our expense-related transactions, are denominated in Renminbi, which is the functional currency of our major operating subsidiaries and the reporting currency of our financial statements. When considered appropriate, we enter into hedging activities with regard to exchange rate risk.

The value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions and the foreign exchange policy adopted by the governments. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar in the future.

To the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar would reduce the Renminbi amount we receive from the conversion. Conversely, if we decide to convert Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or ADSs, servicing our outstanding debts, or for other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Renminbi would reduce the U.S. dollar amounts available to us.

In the year ended March 31, 2025 and 2026, our capital expenditures totaled RMB85,972 million and RMB126,063 million, respectively.

The Group’s capital commitments primarily relate to capital expenditures contracted for purchase of property and equipment, including the construction of corporate campuses. Total capital commitments contracted but not provided for amounted to RMB45,321 million and RMB54,136 million as of March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026, respectively.

We recently announced our plan to invest in our cloud and AI infrastructure. Save as disclosed above, as at the date of this results announcement, the Group did not have other detailed future plans for material capital assets.

Discretionary bonuses and other long-term incentives may be awarded to selected employees based on various factors including but not limited to individual performance and the overall performance of our business.
