During the fourth quarter of 2019, we discontinued our delivery unit operated by Pinjun, which has and will continue to save significant delivery cost for the Company. In addition, now our customers are able to enjoy the superior delivery services offered by SF Holding. Although our business is experiencing some short-term impact from the novel coronavirus outbreak, we are fully confident in the long-term potential of the Chinese economy and the growth opportunities in China’s discount retail segment. Looking ahead, we remain committed to the execution of our merchandising strategy, providing diversified solutions for our suppliers to monetize their inventory while offering deep value to our customers.”
Mr. Donghao Yang, Chief Financial Officer of Vipshop, further commented, “In the fourth quarter of 2019, we delivered healthy topline growth and extraordinary profitability, even including one-time expenses related to the discontinuation of our delivery unit Pinjun. Our core business is highly profitable, driven by the high margin apparel category. During the fourth quarter of 2019, apparel-related categories contributed to over 70% of our total GMV. Going forward, we will continue to balance our top- and bottom-line, investing to grow our business while maintaining healthy margins.”

Business Outlook
For the first quarter of 2020, the Company expects its total net revenue to be between RMB17.1 billion and RMB18.1 billion, representing a year-over-year decline of approximately 15% to 20%, primarily factoring in the short-term impact from the novel coronavirus outbreak. These forecasts reflect the Company’s current and preliminary view on the market and operational conditions, which is subject to change.
Recent Development
In January 2020, the compensation committee of the Company approved to grant, and the Company granted, each of Mr. Eric Shen, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Arthur Hong, the Company’s Vice Chairman and Chief Operating Officer, an option to purchase 2,681,894 Class A ordinary shares. Both grants will vest over a six-year period, and their exercise price is US$66.85 per share, or US$13.37 per ADS. The Company is still in the process of evaluating the fair value of the option, which will be recognized in share-based compensation expenses over a six-year period.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The condensed consolidated financial information is derived from the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), except that comparative consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the period presented and detailed footnote disclosures required by Accounting Standards Codification 270, Interim Reporting (“ASC270”), have been omitted. Vipshop uses non-GAAP net income attributable to Vipshop’s shareholders, non-GAAP net income attributable to Vipshop’s shareholders per diluted ADS, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating income margin, non-GAAP net margin attributable to Vipshop’s shareholders, and free cash flow, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Vipshop’s shareholders is net income attributable to Vipshop’s shareholders excluding (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) goodwill impairment loss, (iii) impairment loss of investments, (iv) amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, (v) tax effect of amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, (vi) investment gain and revaluation of investments excluding dividends, (vii) tax effect of investment gain and revaluation of investments excluding dividends, and (viii) share of loss in investment of limited partnership that is accounted for as an equity method investee. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Vipshop’s shareholders per diluted ADS is computed using non-GAAP net income attributable to Vipshop’s shareholders divided by weighted average number of diluted ADS outstanding for computing diluted earnings per ADS. Non-GAAP income from operations is income from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, and goodwill impairment loss. Non-GAAP operating income margin is non-GAAP income from operations as a percentage of total net revenue. Non-GAAP net margin attributable to Vipshop’s shareholders is non-GAAP net income attributable to Vipshop’s shareholders as a percentage of total net revenue. Free cash flow is net cash from operating activities adding back the impact from Internet financing activities and less capital expenditures, which include purchase and deposits of property and equipment and land use rights, and purchase of other assets. Impact from Internet financing activities added back or deducted from free cash flow contains changes in the balances of financial products, which are primarily consumer financing and supplier financing that the Company provides to customers and suppliers. The Company believes that separate analysis and exclusion of the non-cash impact of (a) share-based compensation, (b) goodwill impairment loss, (c) impairment loss of investments, (d) amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, (e) investment gain and revaluation of investments excluding dividends, and (f) share of loss in investment of limited partnership that is accounted for as an equity method investee adds clarity to the constituent parts of its performance. The Company reviews these non-GAAP financial measures together with GAAP financial measures to obtain a better understanding of its operating performance. It uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning, forecasting and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of (1) non-cash share-based compensation expenses, (2) goodwill impairment loss, (3) impairment loss of investments, (4) amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, (5) investment gain and revaluation of investments excluding dividends, and (6) share of loss in investment of limited partnership that is accounted for as an equity method investee. Free cash flow enables the Company to assess liquidity and cash flow, taking into account the impact from Internet financing activities and the financial resources needed for the expansion of fulfillment infrastructure and technology platform. Share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in its business. However, the use of non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact the Company’s net income for the period. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not measured in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similar titled measures used by other companies. One of the key limitations of free cash flow is that it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures.

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Vipshop Holdings Limited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” at the end of this release.
