HANGZHOU, China, Aug. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Yunji Inc. ("Yunji" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: YJ), a leading membership-based social e-commerce platform, today announced its unaudited financial results for the half year ended June 30, 2026^[1].

First Half 2026 Highlights

• Total revenues in the first half of 2026 were RMB96.3 million (US$14.2 million), compared with RMB158.3 million in the same period of 2025. The change was primarily due to soft consumer spending, together with the Company's continued efforts to upgrade its platform role, refine its focus on private label products and optimize its selection of suppliers and merchants.
• Repeat purchase rate^[2] in the twelve months ended June 30, 2026 was 69.15%.

Mr. Shanglue Xiao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yunji, said, "In the first half of 2026, we remained firmly committed to our strategic positioning as a leader in organic healthy living, advancing our dual-engine strategy centered on products and user experience even as the consumer environment in China stayed challenging. Our 12-month repeat purchase rate of 69.15% reflects the continued strength of our member relationships, and validates our decision to discontinue relationships with certain third-party merchants whose offerings did not meet our enhanced product standards. While this may have affected near-term revenue, it further sharpened our merchandise mix in support of our private label and organic health priorities. We remain confident in our long-term strategy and our path toward improved operating efficiency and profitability."

"Even as we navigated a softer market environment in the first half of 2026, our solid financial position enabled us to maintain discipline over our controllable costs, with net loss narrowing to RMB72.4 million from RMB100.7 million in the same period of 2025. As of June 30, 2026, we maintained a solid liquidity position of RMB242.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments, and we remain focused on improving our operating margin as we work toward sustainable long-term profitability," said Ms. Nan Song, Senior Financial Director of Yunji.

First Half 2026 Unaudited Financial Results

Total revenues were RMB96.3 million (US$14.2 million), compared with RMB158.3 million in the same period of 2025. The change was primarily due to soft consumer spending, together with the Company's continued efforts to upgrade its platform role, refine its focus on private label products and its selection of suppliers and merchants.

• Revenues from sales of merchandise were RMB82.5 million (US$12.2 million), compared with RMB131.7 million in the same period of 2025.
• Revenues from the marketplace business were RMB13.7 million (US$2.0 million), compared with RMB24.5 million in the same period of 2025.
• Other revenues were RMB0.1 million (US$0.02 million), compared with RMB2.1 million in the same period of 2025.

Total cost of revenues decreased by 31.9% to RMB56.8 million (US$8.4 million), or 59.0% of total revenues, from RMB83.5 million, or 52.7% of total revenues, in the same period of 2025. Total cost of revenues, which mainly comprises the costs related to the sales of merchandise, decreased in the first half of 2026. Our cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenues increased in the given period, as we derecognized less incentive payables to inactive members^[3] , which carries no associated cost of revenue, compared with the same period of 2025. Revenues and cost of revenues are recognized on a gross basis.

Total operating expenses decreased by 38.8% to RMB109.7 million (US$16.2 million) from RMB179.4 million in the same period of 2025.

• Fulfilment expenses decreased by 49.8% to RMB10.3 million (US$1.5 million), or 10.7% of total revenues, from RMB20.6 million, or 13.0% of total revenues, in the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to (i) reduced warehousing and logistics expenses due to lower merchandise sales, and (ii) reduced personnel costs as a result of staffing structure refinements.
• Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 21.2% to RMB39.5 million (US$5.8 million), or 41.0% of total revenues, from RMB50.1 million, or 31.6% of total revenues, in the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to (i) a decrease in member management fees, and (ii) reduced business promotion expenses.
• Technology and content expenses decreased by 19.3% to RMB12.4 million (US$1.8 million), or 12.8% of total revenues, from RMB15.3 million, or 9.7% of total revenues, in the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction in related personnel costs as a result of staffing structure refinements.
• General and administrative expenses decreased by 49.1% to RMB47.5 million (US$7.1 million), or 49.4% of total revenues, from RMB93.4 million, or 59.0% of total revenues, in the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in the allowance for credit losses, partially offset by an impairment charge related to property and equipment.

Loss from operations was RMB69.4 million (US$10.2 million), compared with RMB100.4 million in the same period of 2025.

Financial loss, net was RMB11.0 million (US$1.6 million), compared with financial income, net of RMB3.9 million in the same period of 2025, primarily due to a decrease in the fair value changes of equity securities investments.

Net loss was RMB72.4 million (US$10.7 million), compared with RMB100.7 million in the same period of 2025.

Adjusted net loss (non-GAAP)^[4] was RMB72.3 million (US$10.7 million), compared with RMB100.5 million in the same period of 2025.

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to ordinary shareholders were both RMB0.04, compared with RMB0.05 in the same period of 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses adjusted net loss as a supplemental measure to review and assess operating performance. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure 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 adjusted net loss as net loss excluding share-based compensation.

The Company presents adjusted net loss because it is used by management to evaluate operating performance and formulate business plans. Adjusted net loss enables management to assess operating performance without considering the impact of share-based compensation recorded under ASC 718, "Compensation-Stock Compensation." The Company also believes that the use of this non-GAAP measure facilitates investors' assessment of operating performance.

This non-GAAP financial measure is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool. One of the key limitations of using adjusted net loss is that it does not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company's operations. Share-based compensation has been and may continue to be incurred in Yunji's business and is not reflected in the presentation of adjusted net loss. Further, this non-GAAP measure may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore its comparability may be limited.

The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating performance. Yunji encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to the Most Directly Comparable Financial Measures" set forth at the end of this press release.
