Total net revenues soared 30.5% to $175.2 million. Services revenue jumped 51.6% primarily attributable to the rapid growth of the company’s consignment model and service fee model, and in particular, growth in sales from existing brand partners and the addition of new brand partners in the apparel category.
Total gross merchandise volume (GMV) advanced 68.8% for the quarter helped by a 79.5% growth in the GMV under the service fee business model and the consignment business model. The number of brand partners grew 15.7% year-over-year to 162 as of June 30, 2018. The number of GMV brand partners increased 20.9% to 156 as of June 30, 2018.
Looking ahead, Baozun expects GMV to grow to over 20 billion Chinese Yuan and services revenue to grow faster than 50% year-over-year during the second half of 2018. For the third quarter of 2018, the company predicts total net revenues of about 1.09 billion to 1.12 billion Chinese Yuan.
