Annual Dividend Policy and Declaration of 2023 Dividend
On February 22, 2024, the board of directors of the Company adopted an annual cash dividend policy, under which the Company may choose to declare and distribute a cash dividend each year in accordance with the memorandum and articles of association of the Company and the applicable laws and regulations. Under the policy, the board of directors of the Company reserves the discretion relating to the determination to make dividend distributions and the amount of such distributions in any particular year, depending on the Company’s operations and earnings, cash flow, financial condition, and other relevant factors.
Accordingly, on the same day, for the fiscal year of 2023, the board of directors of the Company declared a dividend of US$2.15 per ordinary share, or US$0.43 per ADS, to holders of ordinary shares and holders of ADSs of record as of the close of business on March 15, 2024. The aggregate amount of cash dividends to be paid will be approximately US$250 million, which is expected to be paid on April 8, 2024.

For the first quarter of 2024, the Company expects its total net revenues to be between RMB27.5 billion and RMB28.9 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately 0% to 5%.

Further information regarding these and other risks is included in Vipshop’s filings with the SEC. All information provided in this press release is as of the date of this press release, and Vipshop does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required under applicable law.
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 margin, non-GAAP net margin attributable to Vipshop’s shareholders, and free cash flow, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure. For the periods presented in this press release, non-GAAP net income attributable to Vipshop’s shareholders is net income attributable to Vipshop’s shareholders excluding (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) impairment loss of investments, (iii) investment (gain) loss and revaluation of investments excluding dividends, (iv) reconciling items on the share of equity method investments, and (v) tax effects on non-GAAP adjustments. 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. Non-GAAP operating margin is non-GAAP income from operations as a percentage of total net revenues. 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 revenues. 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. 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 (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) impairment loss of investments, (iii) investment (gain) loss and revaluation of investments excluding dividends, (iv) reconciling items on the share of equity method investments, and (v) tax effects on non-GAAP adjustments add 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 (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) impairment loss of investments, (iii) investment (gain) loss and revaluation of investments excluding dividends, (iv) reconciling items on the share of equity method investments, and (v) tax effects on non-GAAP adjustments. 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, technology platform and Shan Shan Outlets. Share-based compensation expenses 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.

Cat® Simulators New Hydraulic Mining Shovel System Builds Operator Skills for Mine Sites
Published
46 mins agoon
September 23, 2024By
Simformotion™ LLC, a leader in heavy equipment simulator training solutions, announces the release of the new Cat® Simulators Hydraulic Mining Shovel System.
PEORIA, Ill., Sept. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Simformotion™ LLC – a leader in heavy equipment simulator training solutions – announces the release of the new Cat® Simulators Hydraulic Mining Shovel System. Operator trainees can utilize the system inside a classroom or at satellite mine locations.
The hands-on training system is set in a mining environment and teaches learners how to operate the Hydraulic Mining Shovel, including inspecting the machine, spotting and properly loading trucks, and more. Correct, efficient operation increases safety, production and cost savings. Simulation is a safe alternative to using actual machines for heavy equipment operator training. Students and operators can train anytime and anywhere using simulators — no need to take a costly machine out of production, worry about the weather or, most importantly, worry about the operator’s safety.
“The new Hydraulic Mining Shovel simulator system is the cornerstone of our Cat Simulators mining models. The system trains students and operators using authentic Cat controls and teaches applications found on real-world job sites. We often hear of the struggles to find skilled operators. Cat Simulators systems help companies build their own workforce,” says CEO Lara Aaron.
The Cat Simulators Hydraulic Mining Shovel system is available in multiple languages and includes SimU Campus™, a built-in reporting software that records and generates reports of learners’ simulation sessions and compares their performance to Caterpillar benchmarks. The system features authentic Cat controls, a motion system, exclusive walkaround machine inspection training, and a companion SimScholars™ curriculum, making the training package a unique offering.
The companion SimScholars online curriculum is a one-to-one match with the simulator model and can be used in the classroom or for remote learning. It is an interactive, turn-key solution complete with instructor guides, videos, quizzes and more. Integrate the Cat Simulators Hydraulic Mining Shovel system and its curriculum together for a unique, blended learning experience.
For even more training value and for a more immersive experience, add VR Edition. With the VR headset and patented VR Now technology, users experience a larger view of the virtual environment with greater depth perception. The simulator is portable and easy to move from a training room to a trailer to satellite locations.
