Among other things, the business outlook and quotations from management in this announcement, as well as Vipshop’s strategic and operational plans, contain forward-looking statements. Vipshop may also make written or oral forward-looking statements in its periodic reports to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in its annual report to shareholders, in press releases and other written materials, and in oral statements made by its officers, directors, or employees to third parties. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about Vipshop’s beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement, including but not limited to the following: Vipshop’s goals and strategies; Vipshop’s future business development, results of operations and financial condition; the expected growth of the online discount retail market in China; Vipshop’s ability to attract customers and brand partners and further enhance its brand recognition; Vipshop’s expectations regarding needs for and market acceptance of flash sales products and services; competition in the discount retail industry; fluctuations in general economic and business conditions in China and assumptions underlying or related to any of the foregoing. 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 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 loss (gain) 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 loss (gain) 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 loss (gain) 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.

Stryker unveils Oculan Lighting Platform to enhance surgical visualization and illumination
Published

November 19, 2024By
FLOWER MOUND, Texas, USA, Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Stryker (NYSE: SYK), a global leader in medical technologies, unveiled the Oculan Lighting Platform, an innovative lighting solution designed to provide consistent, high-quality illumination, allowing surgeons to focus on delivering the highest standard of care.
In today’s operating rooms, where precision and accuracy are critical, even the smallest challenges may impact surgical outcomes – factors which may impede a surgeon’s ability to see clearly and work efficiently.
“The Oculan Lighting Platform was developed in response to real-world challenges faced by surgeons, as identified through extensive customer feedback,” said Caitlin Clark, vice president and general manager of Stryker’s Communications business. “This new solution is designed to improve the visualization experience, surgical performance and patient safety within the operating room.”
The Oculan Lighting Platform offers advanced features designed to enhance surgical precision and comfort:
Fly Eye technology within the optical architecture: This proprietary design ensures that instruments, hands, and the surgeon’s head do not create dim areas, providing even light distribution.
Consistent illumination: Allows surgeons to maintain a clear view and is designed to increase optical efficiency and reduce color ringing at the surgical site within procedures.
Auto lux and Microspot: Provides uniform brightness and pure white even in harder-to-reach areas such as a deep cavity or small incision procedures.
SHD Mode: Removal of perceived red is designed to improve contrast, tissue differentiation, and reduction of glare off instrumentation to improve the visual experience.
Heat minimization: Designed to produce less heat through heat dissipation, creating a cooler, more comfortable environment for lengthy surgeries.
Reduced glare and reflections: Helps surgeons stay focused and minimizes eye strain.
Ease of adoption: Suspension modularity allows for the Oculan Lighting Platform to be installed in operating rooms with existing Stryker surgical lights, causing minimal OR downtime.
“Clear visualization is one of the most critical aspects of surgical lighting,” said Dr. Shyamali Mallick Singhal, Chief Medical Officer of Apricity Health in California. “The ability to see clearly without shadows or dim spots is essential for precise work. The Oculan Lighting Platform excels in providing bright, even light in these hard-to-reach spaces, where surgeons need it most. Just as important are its enhanced contrast capabilities, which allow us to distinguish between different tissues and anatomical structures more easily, significantly improving our ability to identify critical details with greater accuracy and confidence. This level of visibility is essential for delivering safer, more efficient surgeries.”
Engineered for long-term performance, the Oculan Lighting Platform is designed to enhance functionality and durability. Its intuitive controls allow surgical teams to easily adjust settings to meet their specific needs. Emphasizing user-friendliness, the platform features multiple control points that streamline workflows and minimize disruptions. For more information about the Oculan Lighting Platform and Stryker’s full range of medical technologies, please visit here.

Built on the industry’s largest US trial court database, Trellis AI delivers unparalleled insight and efficiency to legal teams
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Trellis launched Trellis AI, a powerful new legal productivity platform designed for the complex needs of trial court litigation. Built on Trellis’ industry-leading trial court data foundation—which is the most comprehensive database of its kind in the US—Trellis AI offers tools that empower legal teams to harness data and insights in transformative ways. By automating litigation tasks like motion drafting and case evaluations, Trellis AI transforms the way litigators approach case work with greater accuracy, efficiency, and strategic insight.
Trellis is an AI-driven legal research and insights platform offering access to the largest and most comprehensive US trial court database. This extensive database includes dockets, documents, rulings, judge, law firm, and company analytics, with unmatched coverage across states, counties, and courts.
Trellis AI leverages this extensive data foundation along with advanced language models to deliver precise insights that enhance decision-making, case preparation, and litigation strategy. Designed for legal professionals, it streamlines strategic work like case assessments and motion argument development while automating time-consuming tasks such as motion drafting, client updates, and discovery preparation. These efficiencies free up attorneys to focus on strategic decision-making and client advocacy.
“Trellis is uniquely positioned to support attorneys within the very court system where their cases are filed,” said Nicole Clark, CEO and cofounder of Trellis and a former litigator. “Trellis provides access to hundreds of millions of motions and briefs, representing millions of hours of attorney blood, sweat, and tears in research and drafting. It’s why Trellis AI stands as the only tool to offer one-click solutions to create work product backed by the entire court system and learnings from every trial court litigator who came before them.”
Unlocking New Litigation Strategies
Trellis AI is designed to support every stage of the case lifecycle, delivering impactful work product powered by Trellis’ extensive data. Its feature suite tackles common litigation challenges by automating routine tasks and providing strategic insights grounded in the nation’s most trusted court data.
For example, “Draft Arguments” is a powerful motion drafting tool that can save hours of work, allowing attorneys to focus on their strongest arguments. Trellis AI uses the details and facts of the case to create tailored draft motions, drawing from its extensive database of similar cases to suggest strategic, fact-supported arguments. Each draft incorporates insights from hundreds of thousands of successful trial court motions, offering attorneys an innovative solution that transforms how they approach motion drafting.
Another tool is “Case Assessment” which evaluates key case elements to guide strategic decision-making. Trellis AI examines case facts, legal claims, and defenses to provide detailed insights into potential outcomes, recommended actions, and risk factors. Each assessment delivers actionable intelligence and recommended next steps to inform decisions on case management, settlement strategies, and trial preparation. This empowers attorneys to keep their clients informed, offer strategic recommendations, and leverage an internal knowledge base of strategies and insights for each case.
The remainder of Trellis AI’s tools streamline important tasks like complaint analysis, defense strategy development, argument evaluation, timeline creation, citation extraction, and more. All tools were created and meticulously tested by Trellis’ teams of product attorneys and experienced litigators.
Precision and Security at the Core
Trellis AI is designed for ease-of-use without sacrificing security or accuracy. All uploaded documents are encrypted at rest, aligning with SOC 2 standards to protect sensitive information. Additionally, Trellis AI reduces the risk of errors or bias in its outputs, enabling legal teams to concentrate on insights rather than processes. It also provides options for easy verification and source checking, ensuring greater confidence and peace of mind.
“The potential for AI to transform the legal field depends on the quality and depth of data behind it,” said Alon Shwartz, CPO and cofounder of Trellis. “Our data foundation is the cornerstone of Trellis AI, providing a wealth of high-quality information that drives actionable recommendations and meaningful insights. By prioritizing data integrity and implementing rigorous security measures, we’ve built a platform attorneys can trust to streamline workflows and make strategic decisions confidently.”
