These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar statements. 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.

Lindus Health Rolls Out “All-in-One Infectious Disease CRO” Bespoke to Clinical Trials for Infectious Disease Interventions

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Lindus Health, the “anti-CRO” running radically faster, more reliable clinical trials for life science pioneers, has introduced their versatile contract research organization (CRO), site, and technology offering tailor-made to the execution of infectious disease trials.

Clinical development of infectious disease treatments and diagnostics must account for complexities such as diverse and evolving pathogens, seasonality and localization of study sites, and enrollment at the appropriate time during infection. Having enrolled over 5,000 patients in infectious disease studies across the US, EU, and UK, Lindus Health is well-equipped to handle the unique challenges within this therapeutic area.

Lindus Health’s latest solution for the infectious disease market segment leverages their full-spectrum CRO and site services, rooted in deep expertise in running infectious disease clinical trials. They are able to recruit diverse study populations at twice the speed of traditional CROs through their expansive recruitment capabilities, including targeted digital outreach campaigns, healthcare and community organization collaborations, and electronic health record (EHR) screening from a repository of over 30 million patients.

“Infectious disease studies require swift and adaptable approaches for execution and recruitment to keep pace with evolving pathogens and public health needs,” said Meri Beckwith, co-founder of Lindus Health. “Therefore speed of execution and access to real-time data are essential, while ensuring enrollment of diverse and representative patient populations.”

The “All-in-One Infectious Disease CRO” offers a comprehensive suite of resources and services to support infectious disease research, including:

Full-service CRO solutions: From protocol writing and study startup to close-out and data delivery, Lindus Health’s clinical operations team oversees all aspects of infectious disease trials, handling all project management and administrative responsibilities.Innovative recruitment strategies: With partnerships across primary care, urgent care, and local community groups as well as EHR screening and direct-to-patient marketing, Lindus employs advanced methods to quickly recruit diverse patient populations in infectious disease studies.Adaptable eClinical software: Citrus™, Lindus’ proprietary clinical research platform custom-built for each trial, stitches together essential tools such as clinical trial management software (CTMS), electronic data capture (EDC), telehealth, and eConsent, providing a true all-in-one solution for cohesive study management.Regulatory and industry insights: Lindus offers expertise on regulatory standards and emerging developments within infectious disease research.Comprehensive site services: Lindus’ site operations team collaborates closely with principal investigators and research staff to execute women’s health trials across single-site, multi-site, hybrid, and fully virtual environments.

“The escalating prevalence and rapid evolution of infectious pathogens present significant challenges to developing interventions to treat, detect, and protect against infectious diseases,” said Dr. Robert Langer, Institute Professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Scientific Advisor to Lindus Health. “With their innovative, agile approaches to trial execution, I believe Lindus Health is well-equipped to quickly adapt and overcome these challenges as they arise.”

Lindus Health is devoted to supporting infectious disease sponsors in bringing groundbreaking treatments and diagnostics to patients and healthcare providers by streamlining all stages of the clinical trial workstream.
