Fiscal 2026 First Half Operational and Financial Highlights
| [1] Net loss for the first half of fiscal 2026 excluded Nanjing Xingmu Biotechnology Co., Ltd. ("Nanjing Xingmu"), as the Company disposed the entity effective April 1, 2025(as described below). Net loss for the first half of fiscal 2025 included Nanjing Xingmu's net loss of RMB1.9 million. |
| [2] EBITDA refers to net income/(loss) excluding income tax expenses, interest expense, interest income, depreciation and amortization expenses. EBITDA is a Non-GAAP financial measurement. See the section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for more information about EBITDA. |
| [3] GMV refers to gross merchandise volume, which is the total value of confirmed orders placed with us and sold through distribution model or drop shipping model where we act as a principal in the transaction regardless of whether the products are delivered or returned, calculated based on the listed prices of the ordered products without taking into consideration any discounts. The total GMV amount (i) excludes products sold through consignment model and (ii) excludes the value of services offered by us. GMV is subject to future adjustments (such as refunds) and represents only one measure of the Company's performance and should not be relied on as an indicator of our financial results, which depend on a variety of factors. |
CEO & CFO Quote
Mr. Hao Liang, Boqii's Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented, "Amidst persistently challenging market conditions and weakened consumption sentiment during the first half of fiscal 2026, we believe we have actively executed our strategic initiatives, demonstrating strong resilience. We are pleased to report a significant enhancement in our gross margin, which has increased to 25.9%, a gain of 520 basis points from 20.7% for the first half of fiscal 2025. Furthermore, our focused strategy on private labels has yielded strong results, the number of SKUs for our private labels has increased from 3,546 in the first half of fiscal 2025 to 4,427 in the first half of fiscal 2026, and the gross margin of our private labels also recorded a substantial rise, reaching 44.5%, an increase of 1,130 basis points from 33.2% in the prior-year period. We believe these achievements provide a solid foundation for sustainable growth and reinforce our confidence in the path ahead for our company."
Ms. Yingzhi (Lisa) Tang, Boqii's Co-Founder, Co-CEO and CFO commented, "In addition to advancing our private label initiatives, we optimized our supply chain management capabilities in the first half of fiscal 2026 by utilizing more fulfillment centers to enhance order processing efficiency. These measures drove a 31.0% reduction in fulfillment expenses, which decreased as a percentage of revenue from 7.5% to 6.2% year-over-year. This improvement supported a significant expansion in our post-fulfillment gross margin, which increased from 13.3% to 19.7%. As a result of these efforts, the net loss was narrowed significantly to RMB 7.4 million, down 75.1% from RMB 29.6 million in the first half of fiscal 2025. We believe the steady improvement in our operational profitability validates our strategy and execution, and we remain committed to creating sustained value for both consumers and investors going forward."
Fiscal 2026 First Half Financial Results
Total revenues were RMB207.9 million (US$29.2 million), compared to RMB249.7 million for the first half of fiscal 2025. The decrease was a result of our business strategy to focus more on increasing profitability instead of volume of sales.

Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the Company's beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and a number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by words or phrases such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "target," "aim," "estimate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "potential," "continue," "is/are likely to" or other similar expressions.

All information provided in this press release is as of the date hereof, and the Company does not undertake any duty to update such information, except as required under applicable law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, namely non-GAAP net income/(loss), non-GAAP net loss margin, EBITDA and EBITDA margin, in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. The Company defines (i) non-GAAP net income/(loss) as net income/(loss) excluding fair value change of derivative liabilities and share-based compensation expenses, (ii) non-GAAP net loss margin as non-GAAP net loss as a percentage of total revenues, (iii) EBITDA as net income/(loss) excluding income tax expenses, interest expenses, interest income, depreciation and amortization, and (iv) EBITDA margin as EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues. The Company believes non-GAAP net income/(loss), non-GAAP net loss margin, EBITDA and EBITDA margin enhance investors' overall understanding of its financial performance and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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 U.S. GAAP.
The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company's operations or not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, and they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measures, which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance. For reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the section of accompanying tables titled "Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results." The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.
