Share Repurchase Program

During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased US$205.9 million of its ADSs under its current US$1 billion share repurchase program, which is effective through March 2025. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has an unutilized amount of US$330.3 million under this program.

The board of directors has authorized a new share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to US$1 billion of its American depositary shares or Class A ordinary shares for a 24-month period commencing from the full utilization of the existing share repurchase program adopted in March 2023, as amended.

The Company will implement its share repurchases in accordance with applicable rules and requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company’s insider trading policy. The Company’s board of directors will review the share repurchase programs periodically, and may authorize adjustment of their terms and size. The Company expects to fund the repurchases out of its existing cash balance.

Amended and Restated 2014 Share Incentive Plan

The Company adopted an Amended and Restated 2014 Share Incentive Plan, as approved and authorized by the board of directors of the Company and its compensation committee. This plan amends and restates the original plan in its entirety, primarily for the purpose of extending the term of the original plan, and assumes all awards granted under the original plan. The Amended and Restated 2014 Share Incentive Plan will expire upon the tenth anniversary of the effective date.

Business Outlook

For the third quarter of 2024, the Company expects its total net revenues to be between RMB20.5 billion and RMB21.6 billion, representing a year-over-year decrease of approximately 10% to 5%. These forecasts reflect the Company’s current and preliminary view on the market and operational conditions, which is subject to change.

This announcement contains currency translations of Renminbi amounts into U.S. dollars solely for the convenience of the reader.

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.

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 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 (gain) loss 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 (gain) loss 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 (gain) loss 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.

MediaGo Wins Two Stevie® Awards in the 24th Annual American Business Awards®

Published

on

By

SAN FRANCISCO, May 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MediaGo, the global intelligent advertising platform, has been recognized with two technology awards at the 24th Annual American Business Awards® (The Stevie® Awards). MediaGo’s newly upgraded smart bidding product, SmartBid 3.0, secured Bronze Stevie® Awards in two major categories: “Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning Solution – Other” and “Technology Innovation of the Year – Software.”

Widely considered the premier business awards in the United States, the American Business Awards® recognize excellence across multiple areas, including technology innovation, product development, and customer service. This marks the fourth consecutive year that MediaGo has been honored by the program, underscoring its continued investment and progress in deep learning and programmatic advertising technology.

Today’s performance marketing industry continues to face three structural challenges: inefficient campaign cold starts, skyrocketing costs during scaling, and overall performance instability. Traditional bidding systems rely heavily on reactive adjustments, making it difficult to balance scale and efficiency across the open web. Powered by deep learning, MediaGo’s upgraded SmartBid 3.0 tackles these hurdles through proactive exploration, global learning, and multi-dimensional optimization. The platform has proven its ability to scale ad spend by 58% while strictly maintaining CPA overflow within 1.15, enabling advertisers to achieve rapid scaling, stable conversions, and strict cost control in highly competitive markets.

Judges of this year’s American Business Awards® commended SmartBid 3.0, highlighting its significance in addressing core industry challenges. One judge commented: “SmartBid 3.0 represents a substantial technological advancement in programmatic advertising. It effectively addresses two fundamental issues in open web bidding systems: inefficient cold starts and unstable scaling. Its global learning architecture is particularly impactful, allowing new campaigns to inherit high-performing patterns instead of starting from scratch, significantly reducing budget waste. Even as spend increases, it maintains strict control over CPA overflow, demonstrating exceptional scalability and stability.”

These capabilities have been validated through collaboration with NerdWallet, a leading personal finance platform in North America. Operating in the fiercely competitive financial lead generation sector, NerdWallet previously faced continuous challenges with scaling efficiently, rising acquisition costs, and conversion stability. By leveraging SmartBid 3.0’s intelligent bidding and full-funnel optimization, NerdWallet achieved a 76% year-over-year increase in ROAS and an impressive 97.9% budget consumption rate, alongside improved lead quality and campaign stability. The judges specifically praised the tangible business impact demonstrated in this use case.

“Securing two technology awards at the American Business Awards® is a strong validation of MediaGo’s long-standing commitment to innovation, performance-driven solutions, and an advertiser-first approach,” said Catelyn Wang, Head of Global BD & Sales, MediaGo. “Winning for the fourth consecutive year is a major milestone for us. Looking ahead, MediaGo will continue to advance the application of deep learning technologies in open web advertising, empowering global advertisers to break through growth challenges and achieve high-quality, sustainable business outcomes in an increasingly complex market environment.”

About MediaGo

MediaGo is a leading intelligent advertising platform. Based on deep learning algorithms, MediaGo empowers businesses of all scales, creating tangible value for companies. With 12 operational centers worldwide, MediaGo has successfully provided localized and comprehensive business growth services to over 10,000 partners.

Published

By

TAIPEI, May 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — GIGABYTE, the world’s leading computer brand, announces the launch of the new Ari edition motherboard, B850 AORUS ELITE-P ICE, created to respond to the growing needs of anime enthusiasts and the PC DIY community worldwide. Created as the tech guardian angel of AORUS, Ari is an original ACG character that brings performance, creativity, and gaming spirit to life. Following the strong global reception of the B850M Ari Edition, GIGABYTE now expands the lineup with an ATX version to support a wider range of PC build and customization needs.

Featuring exclusive Ari-themed artwork, character-inspired visual elements, and available in both black and white variants, the edition is designed to resonate with anime enthusiasts seeking a more expressive and immersive setup aesthetic. Beyond the distinctive anime-inspired aesthetics, the B850 Ari edition boards integrate GIGABYTE’s X3D Turbo Mode, AI-enhanced D5 Bionic Corsa technology, and EZ-DIY innovations, delivering a smoother gaming and PC building experience for users who value both performance and personalization.

X3D Turbo Mode is designed to optimize gaming performance on AMD Ryzen™ 9000 X3D processors by up to 18% with one-click activation. For Ryzen™ 9000 non-X3D processors, it enables gaming performance comparable to their Ryzen™ X3D counterparts  

The AI-enhanced D5 Bionic Corsa technology integrates the AI Snatch that intelligently optimizes memory and CPU overclocking performance, while the AI-Driven PCB Design enhances signal integrity through AI simulation and tuning. In addition, HyperTune BIOS leverages AI-assisted optimization to fine-tune memory and system performance, enabling a more responsive and stable computing experience.

To further streamline the building process, the B850 AORUS ELITE-P models are equipped with a full suite of EZ-DIY innovations. The patented M.2 EZ-Flex design improves SSD cooling efficiency with a flexible thermal baseplate, while M.2 EZ-Latch Click 2 allows screwless installation of M.2 heatsinks. EZ-Latch Plus simplifies installation and removal of M.2 SSDs and graphics cards, and WIFI EZ-Plug combines Wi-Fi antenna connectors into a single adapter for faster and easier setup.

The new B850 Ari editions will be showcased at the GIGABYTE booth (#M0520) during COMPUTEX. For more information, please visit the GIGABYTE booth or official product page.

P&L INFLECTION: WHY FY26 REPRESENTS A STRUCTURAL SHIFT

FY26 is not simply another year of growth, it represents a structural shift in Zaggle’s earnings profile. For the first time, the company demonstrated clear and consistent operating leverage at scale, with EBITDA and PAT both growing materially faster than revenue.

Operating Leverage Now Visible

Every incremental rupee of revenue is generating
disproportionately higher EBITDA and profit, the
hallmark of a maturing FinTech SaaS platform model.

Profit Outpacing Revenue

Revenue grew 46.3%, yet Adjusted EBITDA grew 51.0% 
and PAT grew 51.8%, confirming improving unit
economics and monetization depth.

Strong Cash Conversion

Cash PAT of ₹1,779 Mn at 54%+ growth reflects the
quality of earnings and strengthens Zaggle’s capacity to
self-fund growth initiatives.

Margin Expansion on Track

Full year EBITDA margin reached 10.0%, up 30 bps YoY,
with further expansion expected as AI-led automation
and platform scale deepen.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“FY26 demonstrates what Zaggle’s platform model looks like at scale and the numbers tell a compelling story for our investors. Revenue grew 46.3% to ₹19,076 Mn. PAT grew faster, at 51.8%, to ₹1,388 Mn. Cash PAT grew faster still, at over 54%, to ₹1,779 Mn. This compounding dynamic, where each layer of growth generates disproportionately higher returns, is precisely what we have been building towards. During the year, we strengthened the platform further through strategic acquisitions, launched our Retail RuPay Credit Card with UPI, established our GIFT City entity and accelerated AI deployment across the business. With FY27 consolidated revenue growth guidance of approximately 40%, we enter the new year with strong momentum, a deeper monetization stack and a clear line of sight to sustained, high-quality earnings growth.”
– Dr. Raj P. Narayanam, Founder & Executive Chairman, Zaggle Prepaid Ocean Services Limited

FY26 STRATEGIC GROWTH DRIVERS

Zaggle used FY26 to decisively expand its long-term growth platform across four dimensions:

Inorganic Growth: Completed acquisitions of Greenedge Enterprises and Rivpe Technology (rebranded as Zagg.Money), strengthening its rewards, loyalty and consumer fintech ecosystem.Consumer Credit Entry: Entered the consumer retail credit card market, opening a significant new monetizationopportunity and broadening the platform’s addressable market.Global Infrastructure: Established Zaggle Payments IFSC Ltd in GIFT City, creating a regulated platform for global cross-border payments and international financial services.AI-First Execution: Accelerated deployment of dual AI engines, one driving internal operational efficiency, another powering customer-facing intelligence and spend automation.

FY27 OUTLOOK & GUIDANCE

Building on FY26’s structural momentum, Zaggle enters FY27 with clear growth visibility across AI-first product development, deeper monetization across its four strategic pillars and accelerating international expansion into MENA and US markets.

FY27 STANDALONE REVENUE GROWTH

25–30%

Organic platform expansion

FY27 CONSOLIDATED REVENUE GROWTH

~40%

Inclusive of inorganic contributions

The company expects operating leverage to continue driving profit growth ahead of revenue growth, with margin expansion becoming increasingly visible as platform scale and AI-led efficiency gains compound.
