"2020 was off to a very strong start as we sustained our tremendous momentum from last year and delivered net revenue of RMB1.58 billion in the first quarter, or 140.3% growth year over year," said Mr. Junling Liu, Co-Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of 111. He commented, "In spite of the challenges, uncertainties and disruptions caused by an unprecedented global pandemic, we continued to deliver robust performance, driven by exceptional revenue growth across all of our business segments. The year-over-year revenue growth of the B2B segment, which primarily represents pharmacy orders, was 178.4%. Revenue from our B2C segment increased 17.5% year over year, while revenues from the E-Channel[2] segment grew by 229.7% in the first quarter. In addition, the increasing operating leverage from our expanding business scale and heightening cost management contributed to the substantial increase of 163.3% in gross profit[3], and further improvement of gross margin."

"As we entered 2020, we have laid down a growth strategy with four facets to deliver long-term success: 1) Capitalize on the enormous market opportunities from building the largest virtual pharmacy network in China; 2) build an omni-channel drug commercialization capability to establish 111 as a partner of choice for pharmaceutical companies; 3) strengthen our healthcare ecosystem by enabling key stakeholders via cloud-based solutions to increase stickiness, raise the barriers to entry, and generate diversified revenue sources; 4) enhance our smart technology and integrated online-offline infrastructures to deliver best-in-class supply chain management services to our customers."

"We have made significant progress in executing our growth strategies and strengthening our market position. As of March 31, 2020, our virtual pharmacy network had expanded to cover more than 260,000 drugstores in China, equivalent to over 50% of the total market. We have established direct purchasing relationships with over 200 pharmaceutical companies. With many consumers having trouble finding popular items elsewhere, our ability to source a large variety of healthcare products contributed to an uptick in registered users of and traffic to our B2C platform." 

"Investment in leadership and top talent is pivotal to accelerating the advancement of our drug commercialization platform. I am pleased to announce that Mr. Anfeng Guo joined 111 on May 1, 2020 as Chief Innovation Officer to oversee the operations and innovation of our omni-channel drug commercialization platform. Anfeng is a veteran of China's pharmaceutical industry who brings us over 20 years of experience working in world-leading pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer, Bayer, AstraZeneca and Bristol Myers Squibb. We are confident that he will further strengthen our capabilities, particularly the development of an efficient and effective omni-channel drug commercialization platform as we usher in a new era in healthcare."

Mr. Liu concluded, "We are proud of our accomplishments, and the consecutive quarterly growth demonstrates our commitment and ability to build a sustainable and profitable long-term business. We believe the large population base in the tier 3 to 6 cities as well as the growing needs of the millions and millions of Chinese people living with chronic diseases offer tremendous market potential. And we are capturing this opportunity by executing our mission to connect patients with drugs and healthcare services through a technology-empowered and integrated online and offline healthcare platform. The Company remains laser-focused on maximizing value for our customers, partners and shareholders through innovation, operational excellence, continued execution of our growth strategies."

[2]  E-Channel segment consists of revenue from product sales to e-commerce companies, such as Ali Health, JD Health, Ping An Good Doctor and etc. Historically, revenue from these sources had been included in the B2C segment and generally accounted for between 15-20% of the revenue in the B2C segment. In the first quarter 2020, this segment grew by an unprecedented 229.7% over same period last year. The growth in the E-Channel segment attributed to the overall increase in e-commerce traffic during the nationwide lockdown.  And previous period has been restated to conform to the current period reportable segments presentation.

[3]  Gross Profit represents net revenue minus cost of products sold. Cost of products sold does not include other direct costs related to cost of product sales such as shipping and handling expense, payroll and benefits of logistic staff, logistic centers rental expenses and depreciation expenses, which are recorded in the fulfillment expenses.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, and non-GAAP loss per ADS, non-GAAP measures, 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 attributable to ordinary shareholders as net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses and impairment loss of long-term investment. The Company defines non-GAAP loss per ADS as loss per ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses and impairment loss of long-term investment 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 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 is a non-cash expense that varies from period to period. Impairment loss of long-term investment is a non-cash, non-recurring expense that occurred in this period. As a result, management excludes these two items from its internal operating forecasts and models. Management believes that this adjustment for share-based compensation expenses and impairment loss of long-term investment provides investors with a basis to measure the company's core performance, including compared with the performance of other companies, without the period-to-period variability created by share-based compensation expenses and impairment loss of long-term investment. The Company believes that non-GAAP loss from operations, 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 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 nearest 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.
