Analysis
Baozun reported a 7.5% year-over-year increase in total net revenues to RMB2,743.0 million, with services revenue up 10.2% to RMB1,717.4 million and product sales up 3.2% to RMB1,025.6 million. The services result was attributed to double-digit growth in digital marketing and IT solutions. Segment performance was balanced at the reported level: E-Commerce revenue increased 4.6% year-over-year, while Brand Management revenue increased 21.9% to RMB485.6 million.
Profitability improved materially. Income from operations was RMB63.4 million, compared with a loss from operations of RMB9.4 million in the prior-year quarter, and operating margin was 2.3%, compared with negative 0.4%. Non-GAAP income from operations rose to RMB74.3 million from RMB6.1 million, with non-GAAP operating margin increasing to 2.7% from 0.2%. Net income attributable to ordinary shareholders was RMB17.0 million, compared with a RMB34.0 million loss, while non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders was RMB24.8 million, compared with an RMB18.0 million loss.
The cost structure showed both operating leverage and investment. Cost of products and fulfillment expenses declined year-over-year, with the Company citing lower BEC sales volume, cost controls and efficiency initiatives. General and administrative expense also declined, principally because the prior-year quarter included a RMB53.3 million accounts-receivable write-down. These factors were partly offset by sales and marketing expense rising to RMB1,177.2 million, driven by higher digital marketing services revenue in BEC and BBM offline-store expansion and marketing activity. Product-sales blended gross margin expanded by 499 basis points year-over-year, while inventory days improved to 112 days from 134 days.
Within the segments, BEC service-fee-model growth offset a 9.6% decline in E-Commerce product sales, which the Company attributed to Home & Furnishing and Cosmetics. BBM maintained strong revenue growth, with product sales rising 22.6% on higher Gap sales, and its adjusted operating loss narrowed to RMB33.0 million from RMB35.0 million. E-Commerce adjusted operating profit more than doubled to RMB107.1 million from RMB41.1 million, making it the principal contributor to the consolidated operating improvement.
The Company revised its 2028 annual Non-GAAP income from operations target upward to at least RMB700 million from RMB550 million. Management identified BEC margin expansion, BBM scale and operating leverage, and deeper BEC-BBM synergies as the intended sources of achievement. No near-term revenue, margin, expense or tax-rate guidance was provided. Balance-sheet data showed RMB1,193,587 thousand of cash and cash equivalents and RMB1,238,975 thousand of short-term loan as of June 30, 2026. No operating cash flow, free cash flow, dividend, or share-repurchase amount was reported in the filing.
Management, verbatim
We delivered another solid second quarter, with total revenue growing 7% year-over-year and earnings quality continuing to improve with record operating profits in recent years for the second quarter, amid soft consumer sentiment.
Vincent Qiu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Baozun
Our second-quarter results reflect balanced growth across both divisions, with E-Commerce revenue up 5% and Brand Management revenue up 22% year-over-year. Non-GAAP operating income improved to RMB74 million, driven by continued profitability improvement at BEC and a further narrowing of BBM’s operating loss.
