   -- Product sales revenue of Brand Management was RMB1,469.6 million 
      (US$201.3 million), an increase of 16.2% from RMB1,265.0 million in the 
      fiscal year of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by higher sales 
      from the Gap brand, as the Company continued to optimize its 
      merchandising plans and enhance customer experience to boost sales in 
      both its online and offline channels. 

Services revenue was RMB5,955.3 million (US$815.9 million), an increase of 9.2% from RMB5,454.8 million in the fiscal year of 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to a 10.0% year-over-year growth in online store operations, together with a 22.2% year-over-year growth in digital marketing and IT solutions, driven by content creation and technology monetization.

The following table sets forth a breakdown of services revenue by business models for the years indicated:

Total operating expenses were RMB9,537.1 million (US$1,306.6 million), compared with RMB9,018.4 million in the fiscal year of 2023.

   -- Cost of products was RMB2,473.8 million (US$338.9 million), compared with 
      RMB2,409.1 million in the fiscal year of 2023. The increase was primarily 
      due to an increase in product sales volume. 
 
   -- Fulfillment expenses were RMB2,461.6 million (US$337.2 million), compared 
      with RMB2,507.3 million in the fiscal year of 2023. The decrease was 
      mainly due to the Company's cost control initiatives and efficiency 
      improvements. 
 
   -- Sales and marketing expenses were RMB3,380.7 million (US$ 463.2 million), 
      compared with RMB2,829.0 million in the fiscal year of 2023. The increase 
      was mainly due to higher revenue contributions from digital marketing 
      services for BEC, as well as increased marketing activities and expenses 
      related to more offline stores for BBM during the year. 
 
   -- Technology and content expenses were RMB550.3 million (US$75.4 million), 
      compared with RMB505.2 million in the fiscal year of 2023. The increase 
      was mainly due to more revenues from IT solutions during the year, 
      partially offset by the Company's cost control initiatives and efficiency 
      improvements. 
 
   -- General and administrative expenses were RMB719.2 million (US$98.5 
      million), compared with RMB855.9 million in the fiscal year of 2023. The 
      decrease was primarily due to the Company's cost control initiatives and 
      efficiency improvements. 

Loss from operations was RMB114.8 million (US$15.7 million), significantly improved compared with RMB206.4 million in the fiscal year of 2023. Operating margin was negative 1.2%, compared with negative 2.3% in the fiscal year of 2023.

Non-GAAP income from operations was RMB10.6 million (US$1.5 million), compared with non-GAAP loss from operations RMB23.7 million in the fiscal year of 2023. Non-GAAP operating margin was 0.1%, an improvement from negative 0.3% in the fiscal year of 2023.

   -- Adjusted operating profit of E-Commerce was RMB179.6 million (US$24.6 
      million), an improvement of 9.5% from RMB164.0 million in the fiscal year 
      of 2023.

      million), an improvement of 10.1% compared with RMB187.7 million in the 
      fiscal year of 2023. 

Unrealized investment gain was RMB4.9 million (US$0.7 million), compared with an unrealized investment loss of RMB68.0 million in the fiscal year of 2023. The unrealized investment gain during the year was mainly related to the increase in the trading price of iClick Interactive Asia Group Limited, or iClick Interactive, a public company listed on the Nasdaq Global Market that the Company invested in January 2021.

Impairment loss of investments was RMB14.4 million (US$2.0 million), compared with nil in the fiscal year of 2023. The impairment loss of investments during the year was primarily associated with certain equity investees.

Fair value change on financial instruments was a gain of RMB11.8 million (US$1.6 million), compared with RMB24.5 million in the fiscal year of 2023. The fair value gain on financial instruments this year is mainly comprised of the gain recognized from the financial instruments the Company invested in during the second quarter of 2024, while the fair value gain on derivative liabilities last year was in connection with the equity contracts with a holder of non-controlling interest.

Exchange loss was RMB10.2 million (US$1.4 million), due to exchange rate fluctuation in the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to RMB8.5 million last year.

Net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun narrowed to RMB185.2 million (US$25.4 million), an improvement from RMB278.4 million in the fiscal year of 2023.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company also uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating its business. For example, the Company uses non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net margin, non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun and diluted non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun per ADS, as supplemental measures to review and assess its financial and 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 U.S. GAAP.

The Company defines non-GAAP income (loss) from operations as income (loss) from operations excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition, acquisition-related expenses, impairment of goodwill and cancelation fees of repurchased. The Company defines non-GAAP net income (loss) as net (loss) income excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition, acquisition-related expenses, impairment of goodwill and investments, other-than-temporary impairment of equity method investments, cancellation fees of repurchased ADSs, fair value gain on derivative liabilities, loss (gain) on disposal/acquisition of subsidiaries, and unrealized investment loss (gain). The Company defines non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun as net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisition, acquisition-related expenses, impairment of goodwill and investments, other-than-temporary impairment of equity method investments, cancellation fees of repurchased ADSs, fair value gain on derivative liabilities, loss (gain) on disposal/acquisition of subsidiaries, and unrealized investment loss (gain). The Company defines diluted non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun per ADS as non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun divided by weighted average number of shares used in calculating net income (loss) per ordinary share multiplied by three.

The Company presents the non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by the Company's management to evaluate the Company's financial and operating performance and formulate business plans. Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun and Non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun per ADS reflect the Company's ongoing business operations in a manner that allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons. 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 are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun, and non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun per ADS is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company's operations. Further, the non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP measures used by other companies, including peer companies, potentially limiting the comparability of their financial results to the Company's. In light of the foregoing limitations, the non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net margin, non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun and non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun per ADS for the period should not be considered in isolation from or as an alternative to income (loss) from operations, operating margin, net income (loss), net margin, net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun and net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Baozun per ADS, or other financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measures, which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance. The company encourages you to review the company's financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. For reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the section of the accompanying tables titled, "Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results."
