Mr. Junling Liu,Co-Founder,Chairman,and Chief Executive Officer of 111,commented,"Despite a challenging macroeconomic landscape,we successfully achieved operational profitability for the second consecutive quarter,underscoring the resilience of our business model and the effectiveness of our strategic initiatives as a top digital healthcare platform for empowering the whole industry chain. Our continued focus on operational efficiency has driven a significant turnaround,with income from operations hitting RMB3.3 million during quarter—an impressive recovery from an operational loss of RMB41.4 million a year earlier.

Mr. Liu added,"We've significantly improved operational efficiency through prudent expense control,strategic investments in infrastructure,and optimal staffing efforts. Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased by 120 basis points to 6%,while non-GAAP operating expenses fell by 70 basis points to 5.8%. Our goal is to set the standard for efficiency in pharmaceutical e-commerce and strengthen our competitive edge through superior operational effectiveness. As we expand and refine our operations,we expect further cost reductions and enhanced efficiency. These savings will be reinvested into strategic areas such as innovation,market expansion,and customer engagement,all of which are crucial for driving revenue and profitability growth."

"Our commitment to advancing digital capabilities and leveraging cutting-edge technologies has significantly improved our operational performance across various facets,making our business more adaptable,efficient,and customer-focused. This positions us for higher future returns in the evolving healthcare e-commerce sector and reinforces our leading role to drive the pharmaceutical digital transformation. Our achievements in technology are highlighted by the acquisition of four new patents. Additionally,we've strengthened supply chain with our effective transshipment model,the expansion of fulfillment centers,and the deepening of our partnership."

"The drug sales and prescription shift towards retail pharmacies is a robust growth avenue,along with continued digital reform of the healthcare value chain. In order to grasp these enormous opportunities,we will focus on offering seamless,convenient shopping experiences for customers with the most comprehensive and cost-effective product portfolio. Strengthening partnerships with pharmaceutical companies,lifting operational efficiency,driving digitalization and AI applications,and accelerating new growth engines such as private label business and JBP platform are also key to our continued growth and success. We believe these concerted efforts will enable us to garner a larger market share and achieve higher revenue and profit levels while generating long-term value for our shareholders,customers,and stakeholders."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the business,the Company considers and uses non-GAAP income (loss) from operations,non-GAAP net income (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 income (loss) from operations as income (loss) from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses. The Company defines non-GAAP net income (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 income (loss) from operations,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 income (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 income (loss) from operations,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 income (loss) from operations,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.
