  1. In our electronic appliance department, the business model was changed from self-operation to consignment from August 2018. Since then, only consignment fees received have been recognized in revenue instead of gross sales.

  2. Same Store Sales Growth: for stores that have been open for more than twelve full months as of March 31, 2025. It is calculated by comparing the sales derived from those stores during their operating periods in the twelve months ended of March 31, 2025 with sales during the corresponding periods ended of March 31, 2024.

  3. Same Store Sales Growth is calculated based on sales excluding supply chain business (supply chain business includes Taocaicai and Tmall inventory sharing business).

  4. Adjusted Profit for the period excluded dividend withholding tax and the tax provision accrued in connection with the announcement dated on 27 February 2025.
