“JD.com’s relentless focus on user experience, cost and efficiency has allowed us to continuously expand our user base while delivering profitable growth,” said Sandy Xu, Chief Financial Officer of JD.com. “Our pre-emptive efforts earlier this year to promote operating efficiency and financial discipline have proven timely and effective given the ongoing external challenges. We will continue to focus on capturing the vast opportunity presented by China’s retail market by striving to be the partner of choice for China’s consumers and enterprises.”

Business Highlights

Environment, Social and Governance

 

   

In the third quarter, JD.com received multiple awards for its outstanding achievements in ESG. It was named on Fortune’s “2022 China ESG Impact List”, together with other 39 companies, a highlight of its significant anti-COVID efforts and contribution to green supply chain through its “Green Stream Initiative”. JD.com also made the list of “50 Most Innovative Companies of 2022” in the world released by Boston Consulting Group, thanks to its achievements in climate and sustainability.

 

   

In August, JD Logistics deployed the first batch of battery swapping vehicles. It expects to expand the scale to approximately 1,000 EVs in operation across China by the end of 2022. As the first logistics enterprise that adopts battery swapping vehicles on a large scale, JD Logistics is committed to reducing the number of vehicles used in its logistics parks by over 20% and carbon emissions by 15% for each vehicle, with overall carbon emissions down by nearly 35%.

JD Retail

 

   

In August, JD.com upgraded its trade-in services to support cross-category trade-in for cell phones, computers, digital devices and home appliances. After the upgrade, users can also trade in a mix of up to six electronic products for new ones. Some of such recycling and trade-in services are facilitated by ATRenew, an investee of JD.com that aims at prolonging the life cycle of electronic devices and thereby promoting environmental sustainability. JD.com becomes the first in industry to support both cross-category and multi-devices trade-in, providing users with the best-in-class experiences while promoting recycling.

 

   

In September, JD Ehome, the first Apple authorized offline store operated by JD.com, was officially launched in Beijing, providing customers an integrated online to offline shopping experience. This is the first time for JD.com and Apple to expand collaboration from online to offline by leveraging JD.com’s proprietary business model.

In August, JD Health became the first company in China’s internet healthcare sector that received the ISO27799 certification for personal health information security management system, issued by the international certification body British Standards Institution (BSI). This demonstrates JD Health’s international leading capabilities in user information security and privacy management.

JD Logistics

 

   

JD Logistics was one of the first logistics companies connected to the Yinxuda service of Douyin’s e-commerce platform, providing high-quality delivery services such as to-door delivery to Douyin users.

This boosted sales to RMB200 million within the first six hours on the opening day. In addition, JDDJ and Shop Now also successfully supported the launch and pre-sale for Huawei Mate 50 models.

About JD.com

JD.com is a leading supply chain-based technology and service provider. The company’s cutting-edge retail infrastructure seeks to enable consumers to buy whatever they want, whenever and wherever they want it. The company has opened its technology and infrastructure to partners, brands and other sectors, as part of its Retail as a Service offering to help drive productivity and innovation across a range of industries.

Non-GAAP Measures

In evaluating the business, the company considers and uses non-GAAP measures, such as non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP net margin, free cash flow, non-GAAP EBITDA, non-GAAP EBITDA margin, non-GAAP net income/(loss) per share and non-GAAP net income/(loss) per ADS, as supplemental measures to review and assess 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The company defines non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations as income/(loss) from operations excluding share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions, effects of business cooperation arrangements, gain on sale of development properties and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. The company defines non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders as net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions, effects of business cooperation arrangements and non-compete agreements, gain/(loss) on disposals/deemed disposals of investments and others, reconciling items on the share of equity method investments, loss/(gain) from fair value change of long-term investments, impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and investments, gain and foreign exchange impact in relation to sale of development properties and tax effects on non-GAAP adjustments. The company defines free cash flow as operating cash flow adjusting the impact from JD Baitiao receivables included in the operating cash flow and capital expenditures, net of the proceeds from sale of development properties. Capital expenditures include purchase of property, equipment and software, cash paid for construction in progress, purchase of intangible assets and land use rights. The company defines non-GAAP EBITDA as non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations plus depreciation and amortization excluding amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions. Non-GAAP basic net income/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the periods. Non-GAAP diluted net income/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares outstanding during the periods, including the dilutive effect of share-based awards as determined under the treasury stock method. Non-GAAP net income/(loss) per ADS is equal to non-GAAP net income/(loss) per share multiplied by two.

The company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate operating performance and formulate business plans. Non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders and non-GAAP EBITDA reflect the company’s ongoing business operations in a manner that allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons. Free cash flow enables management to assess liquidity and cash flow while taking into account the impact from JD Baitiao receivables included in the operating cash flow and the demands that the expansion of fulfillment infrastructure and technology platform has placed on financial resources. 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 have limitations as analytical tools. The company’s non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the company’s operations or not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Further, these non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating performance. The company encourages you to review the company’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
