I am pleased to report that we have achieved non-GAAP operational profitability for the third consecutive quarter and generated positive operating cash flow both in the quarter and on a year-to-date basis."
"We are decisively executing a strategic shift towards an asset-light business model. During and subsequent to the quarter, we completed the divestiture of three self-operated subsidiaries. Crucially, this represents a change in ownership structure, not a reduction in service capability. These facilities have now joined our ecosystem as fulfillment partners and will be dedicated to service our customers exclusively. While this structural optimization may create a temporary headwind for our top-line revenue, it meaningfully strengthens our liquidity and profitability. It allows us to maintain a robust logistics network without the associated capital burden, accelerating our transition from an asset-heavy model to a high-margin, technology-enabled service model."
"Our strategic initiatives are delivering strong results. We have made substantial progress in enhancing our supply chain capabilities through the ongoing "MANTIANXING" initiative. The nationwide network of fulfillment centers continues to grow. As of the end of the quarter, the initiative has generated inventory value of
"Looking ahead, our vision is to build the industry's AI-powered transaction platform for pharmaceutical procurement. We are actively leveraging AI capabilities to create a unified, intelligent platform that optimizes decision-making for pharmacies and maximizes reach for suppliers. By aggregating industry information and streamlining transactions on a single interface, we are committed to providing a superior customer experience which will unlock long-term value for our shareholders."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, and non-GAAP loss per ADS, as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. The Company defines non-GAAP income from operations as income from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses. The Company defines non-GAAP net income (loss) as net loss excluding share-based compensation expenses, net of tax. The Company defines non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders as net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses, net of tax. The Company defines non-GAAP loss per ADS as net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders per ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses, net of tax per ADS. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with
The Company believes that non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, and non-GAAP loss per ADS help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that it includes in income from operations and net loss. Share-based compensation expenses is a non-cash expense that varies from period to period. As a result, management excludes the items from its internal operating forecasts and models. Management believes that the adjustments for share-based compensation expenses provide investors with a reasonable basis to measure the company's core operating performance, in a more meaningful comparison with the performance of other companies. The Company believes that non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, and non-GAAP loss per ADS provide useful information about its operating results, enhances the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the management in their financial and operational decision-making.
