SHANGHAI, Nov. 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Baozun Inc. (Nasdaq: BZUN and HKEX: 9991) ("Baozun", the "Company" or the "Group"), a leading brand e-commerce solution provider and digital commerce enabler in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.
Mr. Vincent Qiu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Baozun, stated, "I am pleased that Baozun Group is collectively demonstrating significant progress in our transformation efforts. Despite macro headwinds, we grew revenue 5% year-over-year, and achieved significant year-over-year improvement in operating cash flow. BBM is executing well on its transformation of GAP Shanghai, accomplishing a wide array of successes, including new products, new store openings, and increased brand marketing and visibility. These "premium-ization of GAP" efforts ensure the success of shifting from a discount-driven approach to one that focuses on building consumer love for our brand and products. During the quarter, we successfully launched our new Retail Operating Platform for Gap Shanghai, establishing a solid foundation for Gap's continuous digital transformation."
"We are also excited to announce a contemplated 51% equity acquisition of Hangzhou Location Information Technology Co., Ltd. ("Location"), a top-tier Douyin partner specializing in Apparel and Accessories. Location was one of the first movers in the Douyin ecosystem, and a pioneer in the livestreaming space. We're thrilled about the synergistic blend of our market leadership in creative content, compelling portfolio of brand partners and profound e-commerce operating experiences with Location's exceptional skills and insights in daily livestreaming. This synergy solidifies our leadership in the Douyin ecosystem and expands on our success in other major brand e-commerce platforms, representing another important milestone in our strategic transformation." Mr. Qiu concluded.
Mr. Arthur Yu, Chief Financial Officer of Baozun and President of BEC, commented, "Despite a weaker economic environment and stronger seasonality, we are making notable progress in our business transformation. This marks the first third quarter since our IPO that Baozun achieved positive operating cash flow, largely driven by business optimization, cost reduction, and improved working capital efficiency. Additionally, we continue to make progress in developing our omni-channel network, achieving double-digit GMV growth from both the Tencent mini-program and Douyin ecosystems during the quarter. Now, with the strategic alliance with Location, we believe we are even stronger in the dynamic e-commerce environment, further enhancing our value proposition to our brand partners."

Services revenue was RMB1,115.8 million (US$152.9 million), a decrease of 10.3% from RMB1,244.2 million in the same quarter of last year. The decrease was primarily due to revenue reduction of RMB65.7 million from warehousing and fulfillment due to lower volume of warehousing business and the disposal of a loss-making subsidiary during the third quarter of 2022, and a reduction of RMB44.3 million from Digital marketing and IT solutions, due to fewer performance-marketing initiatives during the quarter, partially offset by increasing revenue from value-added content driven marketing and revenue streams from IT monetization.
