Baozun (NASDAQ: BZUN) Q3 profit jumps 32% but meets estimates

Baozun (BZUN) Q3 2019 Earnings Review

Services revenue climbed by 38.7% to RMB840.8 million ($117.6 million) on the rapid growth of the consignment model and service fee model, as well as strong growth in digital marketing services. Product sales increased by 31.3% to RMB662.3 million ($92.7 million) due to the acquisition of new brand partners, the increased popularity of brand partners’ products, and Baozun’s increasingly effective marketing and promotional campaigns.

The results were impacted by the termination of service agreement with one electronics brand and a challenging macroeconomic environment. However, the company benefited from the evolving e-commerce in China that becomes more interactive and engaging.

Total Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) surged by 42.8% year-over-year to RMB9.08 billion. Distribution GMV jumped by 27.3% and non-distribution GMV climbed by 44.3%. The number of brand partners increased to 223 as of September 30, 2019, from 172 as of September 30, 2018. The number of GMV brand partners increased to 214 as of September 30, 2019, from 166 as of September 30, 2018.
