The board of directors has authorized a new share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to US$1 billion of its American depositary shares or Class A ordinary shares for a 24-month period commencing from the full utilization of the existing share repurchase program adopted in March 2023, as amended.
The Company will implement its share repurchases in accordance with applicable rules and requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company’s insider trading policy.

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 cash flows for the period presented and the 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.

EcoCharge® and Balancell Partner to Drive Energy Efficiency in Africa with Advanced and Stable Charging Technologies
Published
57 mins agoon
September 24, 2024By
CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand, Sept. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Two advanced energy solutions companies are announcing a multi-year partnership to support the growing demand for reliable and efficient charging solutions across the African market. The IDEAL Industries, Inc. brand EcoCharge by Enatel®, a global leader in battery charging technologies, is supplying charging technology to Balancell, a cutting-edge battery manufacturer and energy supplier.
Empowering Africa’s Energy Transition
Africa is experiencing a dynamic shift toward sustainable energy and electric mobility. Global banks and investors funded $76.04 billion in solar, hydropower, and wind projects across Africa from 2012 to 2021. The investments supported renewable energy developments like Kenya’s Lake Turkana Wind Power Project, a $1.095 billion wind farm that boosted their total electricity supply by 13%. Electrification is also rising; Africa’s electric vehicle market is expected to nearly double between 2021 and 2027.
However, more work remains. Africa attracts less than 5% of the world’s energy investments, using only 11% of its hydropower potential and 0.01% of its wind potential. Over 40% of Africans still lack access to electricity.
To advance battery charging solutions in Africa, Balancell will leverage charging technologies from EcoCharge to electrify the African material handling fleet. This initiative will help reduce CO2 emissions and enhance charging efficiency.
“We are thrilled to be part of the renewable energy transition in Africa,” said Enatel General Manager Mike Clifford. “By partnering with Balancell, we are matching a leading-edge battery design with an advanced charger. We’re confident this winning combination will help our customers achieve faster charging, less energy waste, and higher performance.”
Partnering for Growth and Sustainability
Under the agreement, EcoCharge will supply Balancell with a range of chargers that meet the challenging needs of the African market, such as unstable electrical grids and harsh environments. These advanced chargers will be integrated into Balancell’s advanced industrial batteries, providing the perfect match for optimal energy management and control.
“Partnering with EcoCharge allows us to offer our customers superior charging solutions that are both innovative and sustainable,” said Paul Osborne, Director and Chief Financial Officer of Balancell. “This collaboration enhances our ability to deliver comprehensive energy solutions that support Africa’s transition to cleaner, more sustainable energy sources.”
Driving Innovation
EcoCharge chargers are known for their durability, efficiency, and adaptability, making them suitable for deployment in diverse and sometimes challenging environments across Africa. This partnership with Balancell not only strengthens the product offerings available to the African market but also underscores the EcoCharge commitment to continued innovation and investment in sustainable energy solutions.

EDC expands Indo-Pacific presence with a new representation in Japan

Tokyo hub in key “gateway to Asia” nation will better support Canadian exporters
OTTAWA, ON and TOKYO, Sept. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Export Development Canada (EDC) announced the opening of its new representation in Tokyo, Japan. This marks EDC’s ninth Indo-Pacific representation, reaffirming the organization’s commitment to helping Canadian companies diversify into higher-growth markets.
As the world’s fourth-largest economy and fifth-largest export destination for Canada in 2023 (accounting for 1.9% of national exports), Japan presents a wealth of opportunities for Canadian exporters of all sizes. Boasting a trusted free market and a strong business and a regulatory environment supported by democratic institutions, the country serves as a strategic launchpad offering exporters easier entry into the region and subsequently into other Indo-Pacific markets. EDC’s Tokyo representation will serve as a vital hub, offering on-the-ground support, market insights and tailored financial services to Canadian companies.
“Japan is a key trading partner for Canada, and our countries enjoy deep economic and trade relations spanning 95 years,” said Mairead Lavery, President and CEO, EDC. “With Japan’s reliance on imports, the opportunities for Canadian exporters— particularly in sectors like cleantech, agriculture, and bioscience—are too big to ignore. This representation will offer on-the-ground support necessary for Canadian businesses to capitalize on emerging opportunities and succeed in the Japanese market.”
In 2023, Japanese foreign direct investment (FDI) stock into Canada reached $49.3 billion, solidifying its role as the leading source of FDI from the Indo-Pacific and third largest worldwide, according to Global Affairs Canada. Additionally, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), in force since 2018, continues to provide Canadian investors with access to Japanese markets by having eliminated or reduced tariffs on most key Canadian exports to the country.
The Honourable Mary Ng, Minister of Export Promotion, International Trade and Economic Development, welcomed the announcement: “Canada’s longstanding economic and trading partnership with Japan reflects the powerful collaboration between our two countries that benefits Canadian and Japanese people alike. EDC’s new Tokyo representation is a testament to the enduring economic relationship between Canada and Japan and will play a crucial role in supporting Canadian businesses in the Indo-Pacific. I look forward to seeing our trade and investment relationship advance further through these new collaborations.”
George Monize, EDC’s Managing Director and Head of the Indo-Pacific emphasized the strategic importance of Japan for Canadian companies: “Japan has many of the critical elements for Canadian exporters’ expansion in this region. But to really thrive here—strong relationships are key. And that is why we are here, getting to know the market inside and out to forge the connections Canadian companies need to grow and succeed. The Tokyo representation will work closely with our established Singapore hub—harnessing our learnings, experience and networks to ensure we have the right recipe of support in place for Canadian businesses.”
With efforts led by EDC’s Chief Representative, Jean-Bernard Ruggieri, the Tokyo office will collaborate closely with local agencies, government and partners in Japan to navigate market complexities and facilitate business opportunities for Canadian companies. Tokyo complements EDC’s existing representations in Delhi, Mumbai, Shanghai, Beijing, Sydney, Jakarta, Seoul, and Singapore.
