Mr. Wenbin Qiu, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of Baozun, commented: “In the first quarter of 2026, Baozun achieved a high-quality start, with improvements across revenue scale, profitability, and working capital turnover efficiency. This underscores the steady implementation of our value proposition, effectively solidifying the foundation for growth and continuously unlocking profit potential. Our e-commerce business has returned to a sustainable growth trajectory. By deepening brand partnerships, strengthening strategic synergies with our brand management business, and persistently pursuing refined operations, our business structure is accelerating its upgrade towards a high-quality, value-oriented model. The brand management business continued its strong momentum, with further acceleration in revenue growth. Notably, GAP achieved non-GAAP operating profitability for the second consecutive quarter, validating the effectiveness of our ‘MMC’ (Merchandise-Marketing-Channel) integrated operating system. As the synergy between our two business segments deepens, operational efficiency and collaborative effects are continuously being unleashed.”

Both our core e-commerce and brand management businesses maintained double-digit revenue growth while achieving significant profit improvements. Additionally, through a comprehensive review of working capital and technology-driven process streamlining, we further optimized resource allocation and operational efficiency. In the first quarter of 2026, the Group’s working capital turnover days significantly improved to 109 days from 193 days in the same period last year, fully demonstrating our progress in operational management efficiency. With our focused strategic execution, continuously improving profitability, and the strong performance of both business segments, we are confident in consolidating and steadily advancing our long-term profitable growth.”
