SHANGHAI, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — 111, Inc. (“111” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: YI), a leading tech-enabled healthcare platform company committed to reshaping the value chain of healthcare industry by digitally empowering the upstream and downstream in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Second Quarter 2026 Highlights

Net revenue amounted to RMB2.3 billion (US$339.0 million), representing a 28.3% decrease from RMB3.2 billion in the prior-year quarter. This decline was primarily attributable to the Company’s ongoing strategic transition toward a more asset-light and operationally efficient business model. As part of this initiative, the Company divested several underperforming subsidiaries last year, under which the Company can generate more service-based commission income and reduce operational and capital risks to a certain extent. Total marketplace (MP) service revenue increased by 18.2% year-over-year for the first half of 2026, demonstrating growth of the Company’s marketplace service business and enhanced revenue quality. Through such strategic optimization, the Company continues to pursue further improvements in its profitability and liquidity profile.Net revenue of promotional products amounted to RMB60.7 million (US$8.9 million), representing 121% year-over-year growth, accompanied by an increase of 120% in gross profit. To further diversify the portfolio of such products, the Company has partnered with a growing number of pharmaceutical manufacturers to secure distribution rights for products targeting small and medium-sized chain pharmacies. Among such products, Levofloxacin Tablets (Cravit®) from JNOVA Pharmaceutical (Beijing) Co., Ltd., has already become the flagship offering, whose quarterly sales volume grew from 364,000 boxes to 1,041,000 boxes year-over-year, while the quarterly revenue posted a 157% increase, reaching RMB28.1 million. In addition, other priority products with secured distribution rights like Rivaroxaban Tablets (Pusitong®) from Qilu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Xinkeshu Tablets from Shandong Wohua Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. also delivered solid sales performance this quarter, with each reaching 60,000 boxes. These performances underscore the Company’s marketing expertise and has created strong growth momentum for both upstream suppliers and downstream partners.Total operating expenses amounted to RMB155.5 million (US$22.9 million), representing a 16.1% decrease compared to RMB185.3 million in the prior-year quarter. Notably, ongoing investment in and adoption of AI agents have made workforce streamlining possible. As part of organizational initiatives to enhance cost-efficiency, the Company incurred substantial severance costs in the quarter in connection with workforce streamlining primarily within back-end support functions. Excluding the share-based compensation expenses and severance costs, total operating expenses accounted for 4.2% of total GMV this quarter as compared to 4.5% in the prior-year quarter.Fulfillment expenses amounted to RMB63.6 million (US$9.4 million), representing a decrease of 29.5% from RMB90.2 million in the prior-year quarter, outpacing the revenue decline. As a percentage of net revenue, fulfillment expenses improved to 2.76%, compared with 2.81% in the prior-year quarter, reflecting continued enhancement in operational efficiency and disciplined cost management.

(1) Promotional products include the Company’s core promoted pharmaceuticals and those for which the Company has secured distribution rights. All such products have mainstream market positioning and high gross margins.

Mr. Junling Liu, Co-Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of 111, commented, “During the second quarter of 2026, we continued to execute our strategic transition toward a more asset-light and platform-oriented operating model. The 18.2% year-over-year increase in total marketplace (MP) service revenue for the first half of 2026 demonstrates steady progress in the strategic initiative and underscores our pursuit of high-quality, scalable and cost-efficient growth. As our ongoing investment in and adoption of AI agents have enabled workforce streamlining, we incurred certain severance costs in the quarter, largely within back-end support functions, as part of efficiency-focused organizational initiatives.”

“Our promotional products have rapidly penetrated pharmacies nationwide via the 111 digital marketing platform, with the product lineup continuously expanding. Net revenue and gross profit from those products delivered high year-over-year growth. A growing number of pharmaceutical companies have partnered with us to secure general distribution rights for products targeting small and medium-sized chain pharmacies. We remain committed to adding more pharmaceutical products such as “Cravit” to our distribution portfolio to consolidate our market standing and maintain steady performance.”

“By optimizing our network and selectively exiting underperforming fulfillment centers, our fulfillment expenses declined by 29.5% year-over-year, outpacing the decrease in revenue. Meanwhile, fulfillment expenses as a percentage of net revenue improved by 5 basis points year-over-year, highlighting our capacity for sustained operational improvement and reflecting our commitment to prudent cost management.”

“Looking ahead, we believe these initiatives are gradually reshaping 111 from a transaction-driven pharmaceutical distributor into a more technology-enabled and intelligent healthcare platform business. We will continue to integrate AI-enabled capabilities across multiple operational scenarios, including intelligent demand forecasting, inventory optimization, fulfillment routing and merchant operation management. More importantly, we are deploying AI agent-based solutions in pharmacies and healthcare service scenarios to help customers better manage day-to-day operations. Leveraging a lean, intelligent operating model, we aim to expand margins, lift profitability and deliver long-term value to stakeholders.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, and non-GAAP loss per ADS (7), as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. The Company defines non-GAAP income (loss) from operations as income from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses. The Company defines non-GAAP net income (loss) as net loss excluding share-based compensation expenses, net of tax. The Company defines non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders as net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses, net of tax. The Company defines non-GAAP loss per ADS as net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders per ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses, net of tax per ADS. 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 believes that non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, and non-GAAP loss per ADS help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that it includes in income from operations and net loss. Share-based compensation expenses is a non-cash expense that varies from period to period. As a result, management excludes the items from its internal operating forecasts and models. Management believes that the adjustments for share-based compensation expenses provide investors with a reasonable basis to measure the company’s core operating performance, in a more meaningful comparison with the performance of other companies. The Company believes that non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, and non-GAAP loss per ADS provide useful information about its operating results, enhances the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the management in their financial and operational decision-making.

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 loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, or non-GAAP loss per ADS is that it does not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations. Further, the non-GAAP financial 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 most comparable U.S. GAAP measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance. The Company encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures is included at the end of this press release.

(7) Non-GAAP loss per ADS represents net loss, excluding share-based compensation, divided by the weighted-average number of outstanding American Depositary Shares. Each ADS represents twenty Class A ordinary shares.

HELSINKI, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, hit mobile game Brawl Stars and the world’s leading mobile learning platform Duolingo debuted a global in-app face-off that brings the beloved green mascots — the Duo Owl and Spike — into each other’s worlds. From September 19 through September 30, Duo takes over Starr Park while Spike turns up inside Duolingo’s lessons, with new events and exclusive rewards.

The announcement follows weeks of the two trading jabs in the comments, a feud that spilled into the streets and the skies. It comes down to two green mascots fighting for the same thing: players’ time. Now the rivalry moves into both apps, putting the fight between Duo and Spike in fans’ hands.

Duo Takes Over Starr Park
Duo arrives in Starr Park as the game’s latest boss, inviting players into class to teach them a lesson… whether they asked for one or not.

Boss Fight: For the first time, players can team up in a 20v1 Boss Fight game mode set inside Duo’s classroom. Players will have to work together to take down increasingly powerful versions of Duo while completing quizzes: those who answer correctly are rewarded, and those who answer incorrectly take damage or are eliminated.Daily Assignments: Alongside the Boss Fight, players can take part in a community-wide event to earn exclusive collaboration rewards. Step into Duo’s classroom to complete a lesson each day, then pass the final exam on the last day to unlock a reward. Misbehave, and detention awaits.

Spike Invades Duo’s Classroom
Spike doesn’t have Duo’s way with words, but he has other ways of encouraging learners to keep their streaks. As Duo wreaks havoc in Starr Park, Spike crosses over into Duolingo, where learners can complete lessons as part of a special limited-time Quest and unlock exclusive rewards along the way.

Streak-Based Quest: Complete daily Duolingo lessons to progress through a special limited-time Quest, giving learners another reason to keep their streaks going while unlocking exclusive crossover rewards.Crossover Rewards: Duo may be taking over Starr Park, but Spike is making himself at home in Duolingo. Learners who finish the challenge unlock Spike in Brawl Stars.

Players can download Brawl Stars on the App Store and Google Play, and Duolingo on the App Store and Google Play to take part in the in-app events.

BofA’s CashPro App facilitates more than €100 billion in payments approved European companies

Published

on

By

European clients increasingly rely on mobile treasury tools, with payment volumes rising 25% in the first seven months of 2026

Mobile treasury usage has reached mainstream adoption across Europe.Clients increasingly view security and convenience as complementary, not competing, priorities.Direct client feedback continues to guide enhancements to the CashPro® App.

LONDON and BARCELONA, Spain, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — European companies are increasingly turning to Bank of America’s CashPro App to manage time-sensitive treasury tasks. In the first seven months of 2026, clients in the region used the app to approve more than €100 billion in payments, as transaction volume rose 25% and payment value increased 21%[1].

The shift reflects how mobile access is becoming embedded in corporate treasury workflows, particularly for secure authentication and payment approvals. Bank of America has continued to expand the app’s functionality and simplify its design so treasury teams can complete more tasks securely from a mobile device.

Mobile becomes the preferred way to access CashPro
CashPro mobile token, Bank of America’s mobile authentication solution, replaces the need for a physical token. Together with biometrics, QR Sign-In and push authentication, it enables corporate treasury users to access CashPro and approve transactions securely from their mobile devices.

Across Europe, 74% of CashPro users now choose a CashPro mobile token as their preferred way to authenticate and access the platform, underscoring the growing role of the app in day-to-day treasury management.

“Mobile is an integral part of the daily treasury workflow, giving clients the flexibility to manage critical tasks securely wherever they are,” said Matthew Davies, head of Global Payments Solutions EMEA at Bank of America. “The fact that 74% of CashPro users in Europe now choose the app as their preferred security token demonstrates how firmly mobile has become embedded in day-to-day treasury and cash management.”

Client feedback shapes the payment approval experience
As clients conduct more business through the app, Bank of America recently enhanced the payment approval experience to provide greater visibility into payment details and make approvals more efficient.

The updates were informed by direct input from clients, including those who participate in the bank’s CashPro Boards.

“Moving from a physical token to the CashPro App was a natural step for us,” said Kunwarjit Singh Suri, EMEA Controller at F5 Limited and a member of the bank’s UK CashPro Board. “It gives us the security we need while making it easier to review and approve transactions wherever we are. The new payment approval process is another nice touch making it easier for us to review and approve payments.”

Extending secure mobile access
Bank of America is developing new digital identity verification capabilities for corporate administrators, building on the app’s cybersecurity protections and patented integrated mobile token.

“Clients around the globe have embraced mobile and continue to ask us to expand what they can accomplish through the app,” said Heath Bergman, CashPro App Product Executive at Bank of America. “Their feedback is helping shape our investment as we extend secure mobile access to more treasury workflows.”

Alternative data budget confidence hits 3-year high while AI returns remain efficiency-led – Neudata’s 2026 industry report

Published

on

By

LONDON, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Confidence in alternative data budgets has reached its highest level in 3 years, with 97% of data buyers expecting their spend to increase or hold steady over the next 12 months, according to Neudata’s new industry report, The Future of Alternative and Market Data 2026. Now in its third year, the survey tracks how investment firms are budgeting for alternative and market data, adopting AI tools and navigating a fast-changing vendor landscape.

The report is based on 191 responses from data providers and buyers globally – Neudata’s largest sample to date, with responses from quant, multi-strategy, discretionary and macro funds, as well as AI research labs. 60% of buyer respondents manage over $1bn in assets.

Key findings from the report include:

Budget optimism reaches a 3-year high – 97% of data buyers expect their alternative data spend to increase or hold steady in the year ahead, up from 89% last year, the strongest confidence Neudata has recorded in 3years of the survey.AI returns are showing up in efficiency more than performance – 56% of buyers said their firm has measured a tangible return from AI deployment over the past 12 months. Efficiency gains were the most commonly cited form, at 41%, against 17% who credited AI with improving investment performance.MCP access is widely offered but pricing has yet to stabilise – 44% of data providers said they offer access via Model Context Protocol (MCP), and over half of those charge no additional fee.Views on AI’s effect on data quality are divided – 33% of buyers reported a deterioration in the quality of their data sources over the past 1-2 years, and opinion is split on whether AI-generated content is to blame.Signal strength remains the deciding factor – 39% of buyers said the main reason a trial does not lead to a purchase is that the dataset showed no discernible signal, ahead of price at 25%.

Rado Lipuš, CEO and founder of Neudata, commented: “3 years of running this survey show a market with continued confidence in the value of alternative and market data. What’s changing is AI’s role in reshaping that market. Efficiency gains are already well established. What comes next, and what we’re only seeing early signs of, is how AI affects data quality, pricing and whether it can improve investment performance.”

The 2026 edition of The Future of Alternative and Market Data provides essential intelligence for hedge funds, asset managers, data providers and financial institutions navigating spending decisions, AI adoption and vendor strategy over the year ahead.
