Read MoreHide Full Article
Baozun Inc.’s (BZUN - Free Report) third-quarter 2019 non-GAAP net income per ADS was RMB 0.99 (14 cents), up 15% from the year-ago period.
The company’s revenues also surged 35.3% year over year to RMB 1,503 million ($210.3 million).
Strong growth in Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) was a key driver. However, termination of service agreement with one of the company’s electronics brand and a challenging macroeconomic environment are a downside.
Nonetheless, despite macro challenges, resilience in the ecommerce sector is a positive.

Services revenues rose 38.7% from the year-earlier quarter to RMB 840.8 million ($117.6 million). Strong growth in the company’s consignment model and the service fee model as well as its digital marketing services drove results.
Product sales revenues of RMB 662.3 million ($92.7 million) were up 31.3% year over year as well, driven by the growing popularity of brand partners’ products, acquisition of new brand partners and the company’s effective marketing plus promotional campaigns.
