Brands which launched flagship stores on JD recently include Swiss independent luxury watch brands ORIS, Tissot and TITONI, Italian fashion house MOSCHINO and popular New Zealand fresh food brands, Rockit and Zespri, among others.

 

·                      In March, JD and Michelin China signed a strategic cooperation agreement, and JD became the first direct-supply e-commerce platform for Michelin in China. Consumers who buy Michelin tires on JD will be given priority to choose Michelin’s high-end service networks such as TYREPLUS to enjoy premium installation service.

 

·                      During the first quarter, JD.com continued its commitment to enhancing its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) program. In January, JD issued a corporate social responsibility report, highlighting its commitment to global sustainability and dedication to giving back to the community. In March, JD again partnered with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) in support of the Earth Hour global campaign, launching a range of sustainability initiatives across its business, including enhancements to its Green Stream Initiative, giving customers in seven cities including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, the option to select reusable packaging for an expanded range of products when placing orders.

·                      In the first quarter, JD Logistics launched China’s first rotating package handling system designed for frozen storage at its Wuhan Asia No.1 warehouse. Featuring mobile shelves which convey frozen products to staff in a separate area, the system alleviates the need for frequent trips to the freezer area and significantly enhances working conditions and efficiency as compared to traditional approaches. In March, JD Logistics also launched its self-developed visual recognition batch scanning system at its Wuhan Asia No.1 warehouse, greatly improving efficiency and accuracy at the warehouse’s receiving station.

 

·                      In January, JD Logistics became the exclusive logistics service provider for China CITIC Bank, responsible for delivering bonus gifts to bank customers as they redeem reward points online. JD’s parcel delivery service has continued to experience rapid growth since its official launch in October 2018, expanding its services to fifty major cities across China to date.

 

·                      As of April 30, 2019, JD.com’s joint venture, Dada-JD Daojia, had partnered with over 270 Walmart stores, over 700 Yonghui stores, over 180 Carrefour stores and over 1,000 CR Vanguard stores, among numerous other leading supermarket brands, to provide customers with an integrated omnichannel shopping experience through Dada’s crowd-sourcing delivery network. In addition, JD Daojia helped over 300 offline partners digitalize their operations, resulting in significant efficiency improvement. Dada-JD Daojia is China’s leading on-demand logistics and omnichannel e-commerce platform.

 

·                      During the first quarter, JD expanded its leadership position in fulfillment capabilities among China’s e-commerce companies. As of March 31, 2019, JD.com operated over 550 warehouses covering an aggregate gross floor area of over 12 million square meters in China.

 

·                      JD.com had over 220,000 merchants on its online marketplace, and over 179,000 full-time employees as of March 31, 2019.

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 weighted average number of shares 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, revenue from business cooperation arrangements with equity investees, gain/(loss) on disposals of long-lived assets 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, revenue from business cooperation arrangements with equity investees, gain/(loss) on disposals/deemed disposals of investments, income from non-compete agreement, reconciling items on the share of equity method investments, fair value change of long-term investments, impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and investments, gain/(loss) on disposals of long-lived assets and tax effects on non-GAAP adjustments. The company defines free cash flow as operating cash flow adding back the impact from JD Digits related credit products included in the operating cash flow and less capital expenditures, net of proceeds from disposals of long-lived assets. 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.

 

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 Digits related credit products 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 also 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.

(1) JD Digits performs credit risk assessment services for JD Baitiao business and absorbs the credit risk of the underlying Baitiao receivables. Due to the company’s continuing involvement in the asset-backed securitization (“ABS”) arrangements prior to October 2017, the company was not able to derecognize the related Baitiao receivables upon issuance of ABS. Beginning from October 2017, the company revised certain structural arrangements for the new issuance of ABS plans, and derecognized the related Baitiao receivables.

(2) As of March 31, 2019, the company entered into definitive agreements to transfer certain logistic facilities and real estate properties to JD LPC fund and other investors, and classified the related assets and liabilities as assets and liabilities held for sale under ASC 360, which included cash of RMB101.1 million.

(3) On January 1, 2019, the company adopted ASC 842, the new lease standard, using the optional transition method.
