Total operating cost and expenses were RMB2,034.6 million (US$281.8 million), compared with RMB1,928.4 million in the same quarter of last year.

Cost of products was RMB487.1 million (US$67.5 million), compared with RMB505.1 million in the same quarter of last year. The decrease was primarily due to the decline in product sales volume of E commerce, partially offset by the cost of product increase related to Gap Shanghai, a subsidiary the Company acquired in the first quarter of 2023.Fulfillment expenses were RMB546.4 million (US$75.7 million), compared with RMB567.6 million in the same quarter of last year. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in E-commerce warehouse and logistics revenue, together with savings in Gap logistics expenses post-acquisition.Sales and marketing expenses were RMB694.0 million (US$96.1 million), compared with RMB592.7 million in the same quarter of last year. The increase was mainly due to more active performance-driven digital marketing activities during the quarter.Technology and content expenses were RMB133.2 million (US$18.4 million), compared with RMB114.9 million in the same quarter of last year. The increase was mainly due to more revenues from IT solutions during the quarter, partially offset by the Company’s cost control initiatives and efficiency improvements.General and administrative expenses were RMB179.1 million (US$24.8 million), compared with RMB163.2 million in the same quarter of last year. The increase was primarily due to the increase in staff cost, as well as strategic investments in initiatives in high-quality digitalized distribution, Creative Content to Commerce business and brand management.

Loss from operations was RMB54.8 million (US$7.6 million), compared with RMB40.6 million in the same quarter of last year. Operating margin was negative 2.8%, compared with negative 2.2% in the same quarter of last year.

Non-GAAP loss from operations was RMB17.5 million (US$2.4 million), compared with RMB9.7 million in the same quarter of last year. The loss was mainly due to the loss generated from Brand Management business. Non-GAAP operating margin was negative 0.9%, compared with negative 0.5% in the same quarter of last year.

Adjusted operating profit of E-Commerce was RMB11.8 million (US$1.6 million), compared with RMB25.2 million in the same quarter of last year. Adjusted operating loss of Brand Management was RMB29.3 million (US$4.0 million), compared with RMB34.9 million in the same quarter of last year.

Unrealized investment loss was RMB17.0 million (US$2.4 million), compared with RMB42.6 million unrealized investment loss in the same quarter of last year. The unrealized investment loss of this quarter was mainly related to the decrease in the trading price of Lanvin Group, a company successfully listed on the New York stock exchange in December 2022 that the Company invested in June 2021.

Net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. was RMB66.6 million (US$9.2 million), compared with RMB83.5 million in the same quarter of last year.

Basic and diluted net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. per ADS were both RMB1.10 (US$0.15), compared with both RMB1.42 for the same period of 2023.

Non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. was RMB15.4 million (US$2.1 million), compared with RMB13.1 million in the same quarter of last year.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company also uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating its business. For example, the Company uses non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net margin, non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. and non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. per ADS, as supplemental measures to review and assess its financial and operating performance. 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 defines non-GAAP income (loss) from operations as income (loss) from operations excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition, acquisition-related expenses, impairment of goodwill, loss on variance from expected contingent acquisition payment, and cancellation fees of repurchased ADSs and returned ADSs. The Company defines non-GAAP operating margin as non-GAAP income (loss) from operations as a percentage of total net revenues. The Company defines non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income (loss) excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition, acquisition-related expenses, impairment of goodwill and investments, loss on variance from expected contingent acquisition payment, cancellation fees of repurchased ADSs and returned ADSs, fair value loss on derivative liabilities, loss on disposal of subsidiaries and investment in equity investee, and unrealized investment loss. The Company defines non-GAAP net margin as non-GAAP net income (loss) as a percentage of total net revenues. The Company defines non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. as net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition, acquisition-related expenses, impairment of goodwill and investments, loss on variance from expected contingent acquisition payment, cancellation fees of repurchased ADSs and returned ADSs, fair value loss on derivative liabilities, loss on disposal of subsidiaries and investment in equity investee, and unrealized investment loss. The Company defines non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. per ADS as non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. divided by weighted average number of shares used in calculating net income (loss) per ordinary share multiplied by three.

The Company presents the non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by the Company’s management to evaluate the Company’s financial and operating performance and formulate business plans. Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. and Non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. per ADS reflect the Company’s ongoing business operations in a manner that allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that the use of the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors to understand and evaluate the Company’s current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management does, if they so choose. The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gain/loss and other items that are not expected to result in future cash payments or that are non-recurring in nature or may not be indicative of the Company’s core operating results and business outlook.

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, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc., and non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. per ADS is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations. Further, the non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP measures used by other companies, including peer companies, potentially limiting the comparability of their financial results to the Company’s. In light of the foregoing limitations, the non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net margin, non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. and non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. per ADS for the period should not be considered in isolation from or as an alternative to income (loss) from operations, operating margin, net income (loss), net margin, net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. and net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun Inc. per ADS, or other financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measures, which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance. The company encourages you to review the company’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. For reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the section of the accompanying tables titled, “Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results.”

Global Ultrasound Institute (GUSI) Unveils POCUS Essentials Plus Simulation: A Game-Changing Advancement in Point-of-Care Ultrasound Training

Published

September 20, 2024

By

Partnership with e-Sono (3B Scientific) Delivers Unmatched Learning Experience with Over 1,000 Case-Based Simulations and Comprehensive Educational Resources

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Global Ultrasound Institute (GUSI), the leading provider of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) education and training, is thrilled to announce the launch of its latest innovation, POCUS Essentials Plus Simulation. This groundbreaking product is the result of a strategic partnership with e-Sono, a division of 3B Scientific, and promises to revolutionize ultrasound training by combining GUSI’s premier learning resources with e-Sono’s extensive simulation library.

GUSI introduces Simulation-enhanced online POCUS courses

POCUS Essentials Plus Simulation offers an unparalleled educational experience by integrating GUSI’s complete learning library, which includes POCUS Essentials Courses across acute and primary care, pediatrics, obstetrics, and musculoskeletal ultrasound. Learners can now access detailed training on over 30 anatomical regions through hundreds of lectures delivered by leading POCUS experts.

“POCUS Essentials Plus Simulation is a significant leap forward in ultrasound education,” said Dr. Mena Ramos, co-CEO of GUSI. “Our collaboration with e-Sono allows us to offer a truly immersive learning experience that combines high-quality content with cutting-edge simulation technology. We are excited to provide healthcare professionals with the tools they need to excel in real-world clinical settings.”

The product also features advanced case-based clinical integration developed by POCUS clinical experts, along with robust anatomical coverage, including cross-sectional imaging. The inclusion of e-Sono’s comprehensive Sim Library, featuring more than 1,000 case-based ultrasound simulations, allows learners to practice scanning techniques and visualize pathology in a dynamic, interactive environment.

“The integration of digital simulation brings clinical anatomy and ultrasound images to life by allowing clinicians to see and correlate them in real time,” says Dr. Nicholas LeFevre, a fellowship-trained, active POCUS educator and Associate Professor of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Missouri.

“POCUS is an essential extension of our clinical evaluation. To master it, we must immerse ourselves in simulation-based education that reflects real patient care.”

– Sahar Ahmad. M.D., Associate Professor of Medicine and Director of Medical Intensive Care Unit at Stony Brook University Hospital; Director, Ultrasound & Critical Care Education; Chair, Ultrasound Education Task Force, Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University

In addition to its educational resources, POCUS Essentials Plus Simulation includes all the features of GUSI’s ScanHub learning platform, such as Sage AI for on-demand expert answers, the ScanFolio device-independent scan archive and feedback system, a performance dashboard, and QBanks with thousands of questions and pathologic videos. The program is eligible for over 50 hours of Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits, further enhancing its value to healthcare professionals.

Fourth year med student at Touro University California Medical School Jori Enfield adds, “As a medical student, the POCUS Essentials Plus Simulation has been a great addition to my POCUS training. The interactive design has helped reinforce key concepts and boosted my confidence in identifying and interpreting anatomical structures through real-time ultrasound practice. The ability to practice independently, without needing an ultrasound model or instructor, provided both convenience and an effective way to build my skills. This program has greatly enhanced my ability to integrate POCUS into clinical rotations.”

Dr. Kevin Bergman, GUSI co-CEO added, “POCUS Essentials Plus Simulation sets a new standard for ultrasound training. The combination of extensive lectures, dynamic and interactive simulations, and expert clinical integration prepares learners for real-life applications in a way that traditional methods simply cannot match.”
