A Decade of Global Partnership, Trust, and Progress
For ten years, Weixin has supported brand integrity and advanced IP protection by embedding enforcement directly within its platform to rapidly detect and stop infringement, particularly in fast-growing areas like short-form video and livestream commerce.
“Weixin has built a truly collaborative IP‑protection ecosystem that unites authorities, brands, and users to deliver the next generation of enforcement,” said Danny Marti, Head of Global Public Policy at Tencent. “By leveraging AI, real‑time user reports, advanced analytics, and close partnership with brands and regulators, we’re creating a trusted environment that lets global brands confidently engage with consumers.”
Weixin’s approach connects online detection with offline enforcement, translating digital intelligence into real-world action against counterfeiters. In 2025, the BPP helped authorities pursue 37 cases involving more than 300 suspects and totaling over $430 million in value.
Since 2021 the BPP has grown by more than 50 %. Today it hosts more than 700 brands across 30+ industries and 20+ countries and regions. In the past year, the BPP welcomed 62 new members including several from newly added categories, most notably publishing, which saw the addition of 14 publishers since October 2025.
Additionally, the Weixin IP Protection Alliance was launched in 2025 to co‑develop tools, share intelligence, and deepen brand partnerships. This ecosystem approach, combining technology, users, and brand collaboration, positions Weixin as a model for protecting IP while enabling growth in global and digital markets.
“At PUMA, protecting intellectual property is an important component of maintaining brand integrity and supporting sustainable growth,” said Wei Zhang, Senior Counsel, Brand Protection at PUMA. “Tools such as the BPP contribute to enforcement efforts across digital channels and, in practice, support broader brand protection strategies spanning both online and offline environments.”
User Mobilization at Scale
A key driver of this system is the role users continue to play in helping identify suspected infringement. More than 95% of takedown notices and reports against suspicious personal accounts came from users. Over 99% of reports on suspicious group-chat activity were submitted by users, and more than 96% of infringing accounts were discovered by users.
AI Powers Proactive Prevention
In December 2025, Weixin introduced “Mini-WA,” an AI-powered assistant that delivers real-time support and actionable insights to help brands navigate the platform and improve IP governance. As digital ecosystems grow more complex, Mini-WA empowers brands with intuitive, consistent and proactive guidance, enhancing usability and early detection of potential risks.
With the rise of digital commerce and short‑form content, the BPP demonstrates a proven model for integrated IP protection and significant progress to empower brands, safeguard consumers, and foster trust online and offline.

Mr. Eric Shen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Vipshop, stated, “We navigated a challenging consumer environment in the second quarter by staying disciplined to our core value proposition — offering a curated selection of high-value branded products to our most loyal customers. The solid performance of our active SVIPs validated the enduring strength of our business model. Leveraging our proven foundation, we are actively strengthening our competitive moat by sharpening merchandising, elevating customer experience, and scaling AI across our operations. These focused initiatives position us firmly for sustainable, long-term growth.”
Mr. Mark Wang, Chief Financial Officer of Vipshop, further commented, “In the second quarter, our top-line performance stayed within our guided range, reflecting disciplined execution amid subdued consumer demand. We maintained a steadfast focus on margin health, which helped preserve operating profitability. During the first half, we returned approximately US$400 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, and we remain on track to meet our full-year shareholder return target.

Share Repurchase Program
During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased US$99.1 million of its ADSs under its current US$1.0 billion share repurchase program adopted in February 2025, as amended (the “Existing Program”), which is effective through February 2027. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had an unutilized amount of US$216.9 million under the Existing Program.
In addition, on August 20, 2026, the board of directors authorized a new share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to US$1.0 billion of its American depositary shares or Class A ordinary shares for a 24-month period commencing from the full utilization of the Existing Program.
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.
Recent Development
In June 2026, the Company listed a closed-end commercial real estate securities investment fund in relation to two outlets operated by Shan Shan Outlets (the “Vipshop Commercial REIT”) on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (fund code: 508603.SH). The Company subscribed for 49% of the units issued by the Vipshop Commercial REIT and deconsolidated the underlying entities holding the two outlets under U.S. GAAP. Upon the completion of the Vipshop Commercial REIT, the Company raised gross proceeds of approximately RMB7.70 billion. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company recognized an investment gain of RMB5.79 billion, with an associated income tax expense of RMB1.63 billion.
Business Outlook
For the third quarter of 2026, the Company expects its total net revenues to be between RMB20.3 billion and RMB21.4 billion, representing a year-over-year decrease of approximately 5% to 0%. These forecasts reflect the Company’s current and preliminary view on the market and operational conditions, which is subject to change.

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 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.
