HONG KONG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 25, 2025--

Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE: BABA and HKEX: 9988 (HKD Counter) and 89988 (RMB Counter), “Alibaba” or “Alibaba Group”) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended and the six months ended September 30, 2025.

“We have entered into an investment phase to build long-term strategic value in AI technologies and infrastructure and a consumption platform integrating daily life services and e-commerce. With our significant strategic investments in these areas, our two core businesses of AI + Cloud and consumption continued to deliver strong growth this quarter. Robust AI demand further accelerated our Cloud Intelligence Group business, with revenue up 34% and AI-related product revenue achieving triple-digit year-over-year growth for the ninth consecutive quarter. In our consumption business, quick commerce continued to scale with significant improvement in unit economics and drove rapid growth in monthly active consumers on the Taobao app,” said Eddie Wu, Chief Executive Officer of Alibaba Group.

“Our core businesses continued to deliver solid revenue growth, with AI revenue contributing to an expanding share of our cloud revenues from external customers, and customer management revenue up 10%. We are re-investing our profits and free cash flow for the future while near-term profitability is expected to fluctuate. Over the past four quarters, we have deployed approximately RMB120 billion in capital expenditure toward AI and cloud infrastructure,” said Toby Xu, Chief Financial Officer of Alibaba Group.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

In the quarter ended September 30, 2025:

• Revenue was RMB247,795 million (US$34,808 million), an increase of 5% year-over-year. Excluding revenue from the disposed businesses of Sun Art and Intime, revenue on a like-for-like basis would have grown by 15% year-over-year.
• Income from operations was RMB5,365 million (US$754 million), a decrease of 85% year-over-year, primarily due to the decrease in adjusted EBITA. Adjusted EBITA, a non-GAAP measurement, decreased 78% year-over-year to RMB9,073 million (US$1,274 million), primarily attributable to the investment in quick commerce, user experiences, and technology, partly offset by double-digit revenue growth in Alibaba China E-commerce Group, the improved operating results supported by continued growth in Cloud business, as well as enhanced operating efficiencies across various businesses.
• Net income attributable to ordinary shareholders was RMB20,990 million (US$2,948 million). Net income was RMB20,612 million (US$2,895 million), a decrease of 53% year-over-year, primarily attributable to the decrease in income from operations. Non-GAAP net income in the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was RMB10,352 million (US$1,454 million), a decrease of 72% compared to RMB36,518 million in the same quarter of 2024.

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS was RMB4.36 (US$0.61), a decrease of 71% year-over-year. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was RMB0.55 (US$0.08 or HK$0.60), a decrease of 71% year-over-year.
• Net cash provided by operating activities was RMB10,099 million (US$1,419 million), a decrease of 68% compared to RMB31,438 million in the same quarter of 2024. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measurement of liquidity, was an outflow of RMB21,840 million (US$3,068 million), compared to an inflow of RMB13,735 million in the same quarter of 2024. The decrease in free cash flow was mainly attributed to the investment in quick commerce and the increase in our cloud infrastructure expenditure. As of September 30, 2025, our cash and other liquid investments (1) were RMB573,889 million (US$80,614 million).

In the six months ended September 30, 2025:

• Income from operations was RMB40,353 million (US$5,668 million), a decrease of 43% year-over-year, primarily due to the decrease in adjusted EBITA, partly offset by a one-time provision (2) in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITA, a non-GAAP measurement, decreased 44% year-over-year to RMB47,917 million (US$6,731 million), primarily attributable to the investment in quick commerce, user experiences, and technology, partly offset by double-digit revenue growth in Alibaba China E-commerce Group, the improved operating results supported by continued growth in Cloud business, as well as enhanced operating efficiencies across various businesses.
• Net income attributable to ordinary shareholders was RMB64,106 million (US$9,005 million). Net income was RMB62,994 million (US$8,849 million), a decrease of 7% year-over-year, primarily attributable to the decrease in income from operations, partly offset by the mark-to-market changes from our equity investments, gain from the disposal of local consumer service business of Trendyol, and the decrease in both the impairment of our investments and net exchange loss. Non-GAAP net income in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was RMB43,862 million (US$6,161 million), a decrease of 43% compared to RMB77,209 million in the same period of 2024.

The decrease in free cash flow was mainly attributed to the increase in our cloud infrastructure expenditure and the investment in quick commerce. As of September 30, 2025, our cash and other liquid investments (1) were RMB573,889 million (US$80,614 million).

Reconciliations of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures presented above are included at the end of this results announcement.

BUSINESS AND STRATEGIC UPDATES

Alibaba China E-commerce Group

During the quarter, we executed our plan to reach critical mass scale in quick commerce, improve user experience and enhance operating efficiency. The quick commerce business has substantially improved its unit economics since September, driven by higher fulfillment logistics efficiency, strong customer retention and increasing average order value. As part of our strategy to generate synergies between quick commerce and the rest of Alibaba’s ecosystem, we accelerated the onboarding of Tmall brands to our quick commerce channel to expand product offering and meet consumer needs for on-demand delivery. We had onboarded offline stores from approximately 3,500 Tmall brands to the quick commerce business as of October 31, 2025.

Customer management revenue grew 10% year-over-year to RMB78,927 million (US$11,087 million) during the quarter, primarily driven by the improvement of take rate, which benefited from the increasing penetration of Quanzhantui and the addition of software service fees in September last year. The growing mindshare and increasing scale of our quick commerce business contributed to a rapid year-over-year increase in monthly active consumers on the Taobao app during the quarter, which generated incremental customer management revenue.

We had a successful 11.11 Global Shopping Festival, which delivered double-digit consumer growth year-over-year on the Taobao app, as we implemented user-friendly promotion mechanisms and increased support for merchants that provide high-quality products and customer services.

The number of 88VIP members, our highest spending consumer group, continued to increase by double digits year-over-year, surpassing 56 million. We will continue to focus on improving the retention of 88VIP membership through enhanced value proposition to our most valued customers.

Alibaba International Digital Commerce Group (“AIDC”)

A combination of logistics optimization and investment efficiency enhancement resulted in AIDC’s adjusted EBITA profit of RMB162 million (US$23 million) for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The unit economics of the AliExpress' Choice business also continued to improve substantially.

This quarter, revenue from AIDC grew 10% year-over-year to RMB34,799 million (US$4,888 million). AIDC's international commerce retail businesses continued to diversify and enrich product offerings by onboarding local merchants and partners, while leveraging the supply chain advantage of the Alibaba ecosystem. AliExpress, in particular, has developed its “AliExpressDirect” model that leverages local inventories in over 30 countries. AliExpress also enhanced the range of our product offerings by launching the “Brand+” program, providing go-to-market solutions to Chinese brands going overseas. In addition, AIDC's international wholesale business further enhanced its AI applications to enhance user experience. During the quarter, our AI-powered B2B procurement engine Accio released its AI Agent version, significantly improving sourcing and procurement efficiency for users.

Cloud Intelligence Group

For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, revenue from Cloud Intelligence Group was RMB39,824 million (US$5,594 million). The year-over-year growth of total revenue, and revenue excluding Alibaba-consolidated subsidiaries, accelerated to 34% and 29% respectively. This momentum was primarily driven by public cloud revenue growth, including the increasing adoption of AI-related products.

AI-related product revenue continued to show strong momentum, delivering another quarter of triple-digit year-over-year growth. We are seeing accelerated adoption of our AI products across a broad range of enterprise customers, with a growing focus on value-added applications including coding assistants. We will continue to invest in anticipation of customer growth and technology innovation, including AI products and services, to increase adoption of AI infrastructure cloud and strengthen our market leadership.

In September at the Apsara Conference, Alibaba Cloud unveiled a major upgrade to our full-stack AI capabilities – spanning from cutting-edge AI foundation models to high-performance AI infrastructure, including servers, high-performance networking, distributed storage, intelligent computing clusters, Platform for AI (PAI), and services for model training and inference. Leveraging our strong AI + Cloud capabilities, Alibaba Cloud continues to contribute actively to open-source community development. As of October 31, 2025, more than 180,000 derivative models had been developed based on the Qwen family on Hugging Face – more than double that of the second player.

Alibaba Cloud continues to lead the market, attracting more customers to adopt our AI products and services. Omdia’s “AI Cloud Market: China – 1H25” reported that Alibaba Cloud ranked first in China’s AI cloud market with the largest share of 35.8%, highlighting our ability to continue leading China's burgeoning AI cloud market through our comprehensive full-stack AI capabilities.

Share Repurchases

During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased a total of 17 million ordinary shares (equivalent to approximately 2 million ADSs) for a total of US$253 million. These purchases were made in the U.S. market under our share repurchase program. The remaining amount of Board authorization for our share repurchase program, which is effective through March 2027, was US$19.1 billion as of September 30, 2025.

SEPTEMBER QUARTER OTHER FINANCIAL RESULTS

Without the effect of share-based compensation expense, cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue would have increased from 60.6% in the quarter ended September 30, 2024 to 60.7% in the quarter ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to higher logistics cost driven by the growth in our quick commerce business, partly offset by the disposal of Sun Art and Intime businesses, decrease in scale of low margin direct sales businesses, improvement in monetization and operating efficiency.

Product development expenses – Product development expenses in the quarter ended September 30, 2025 were RMB17,095 million (US$2,401 million), or 6.9% of revenue, compared to RMB14,182 million, or 6.0% of revenue, in the same quarter of 2024. Without the effect of share-based compensation expense, product development expenses as a percentage of revenue would have increased from 5.3% in the quarter ended September 30, 2024 to 6.3% in the quarter ended September 30, 2025, primarily attributable to our increased investment in technology development.

Share-based compensation expense – Total share-based compensation expense included in the cost and expense items above in the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was RMB3,325 million (US$467 million), compared to RMB4,146 million in the same quarter of 2024.

The following table sets forth our analysis of share-based compensation expense for the quarters indicated by type of share-based awards:

Share-based compensation expense decreased in the quarter ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same quarter of 2024. The decrease in share-based compensation expense related to Alibaba Group share-based awards was primarily due to the decrease in the number of awards granted as we have increased the proportion of long-term cash incentives granted after considering the macroeconomic environment and the general trends in the talent market.

We expect that our share-based compensation expense will continue to be affected by changes in the fair value of the underlying awards and the quantity of awards we grant in the future.

Amortization of intangible assets – Amortization of intangible assets in the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was RMB826 million (US$116 million), a decrease of 50% from RMB1,649 million in the same quarter of 2024, primarily due to full amortization of certain intangible assets.

(ii) Segment adjusted EBITA

Adjusted EBITA from All others segment in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was a loss of RMB4,785 million (US$672 million), compared to a loss of RMB2,910 million in the same period of 2024, primarily due to the increased investment in technology businesses, partly offset by the improved operating results of Freshippo, Hujing Digital Media and Entertainment Group and Alibaba Health.

SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER OTHER FINANCIAL RESULTS

Costs and Expenses

The following tables set forth a breakdown of our costs and expenses, share-based compensation expense, and costs and expenses excluding share-based compensation expense by function for the periods indicated:

Cost of revenue – Cost of revenue in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was RMB287,210 million (US$40,344 million), or 58.0% of revenue, compared to RMB290,135 million, or 60.5% of revenue, in the same period of 2024. Without the effect of share-based compensation expense, cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue would have decreased from 60.2% in the same period of 2024 to 57.8% in the six months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to the disposal of Sun Art and Intime businesses, decrease in scale of low margin direct sales businesses, improvement in monetization and operating efficiency, partly offset by higher logistics cost driven by the growth in our quick commerce business.

Product development expenses – Product development expenses in the six months ended September 30, 2025 were RMB32,096 million (US$4,509 million), or 6.5% of revenue, compared to RMB27,555 million, or 5.7% of revenue, in the same period of 2024. Without the effect of share-based compensation expense, product development expenses as a percentage of revenue would have increased from 5.0% in the same period of 2024 to 5.9% in the six months ended September 30, 2025, primarily attributable to our increased investment in technology development.

Sales and marketing expenses – Sales and marketing expenses in the six months ended September 30, 2025 were RMB119,674 million (US$16,811 million), or 24.2% of revenue, compared to RMB65,167 million, or 13.6% of revenue, in the same period of 2024. Without the effect of share-based compensation expense, sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue would have increased from 13.4% in the same period of 2024 to 24.0% in the six months ended September 30, 2025, primarily attributable to the investment in user experiences of Alibaba China E-commerce Group.

General and administrative expenses – General and administrative expenses in the six months ended September 30, 2025 were RMB14,778 million (US$2,076 million), or 3.0% of revenue, compared to RMB23,057 million, or 4.8% of revenue, in the same period of 2024. Without the effect of share-based compensation expense, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue would have decreased from 4.3% in the same period of 2024 to 2.6% in the six months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to a one-time provision for the shareholder class action lawsuits in the same period last year and our improved cost control measures.

Share-based compensation expense – Total share-based compensation expense included in the cost and expense items above in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was RMB6,870 million (US$965 million), compared to RMB8,277 million in the same period of 2024.

The following table sets forth our analysis of share-based compensation expense for the quarters indicated by type of share-based awards:

Share-based compensation expense decreased in the six months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the number of Alibaba Group share-based awards granted as we have increased the proportion of long-term cash incentives granted after considering the macroeconomic environment and the general trends in the talent market.

We expect that our share-based compensation expense will continue to be affected by changes in the fair value of the underlying awards and the quantity of awards we grant in the future.

Amortization and impairment of intangible assets – Amortization and impairment of intangible assets in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was RMB1,633 million (US$229 million), a decrease of 53% from RMB3,441 million in the same period of 2024, primarily due to full amortization of certain intangible assets.

Income from operations and operating margin

Income from operations in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was RMB40,353 million (US$5,668 million), or 8% of revenue, a decrease of 43% compared to RMB71,235 million, or 15% of revenue, in the same period of 2024, primarily due to the decrease in adjusted EBITA, partly offset by a one-time provision in the same period last year.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITA

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 36% year-over-year to RMB62,991 million (US$8,848 million) in the six months ended September 30, 2025, compared to RMB98,488 million in the same period of 2024. Adjusted EBITA decreased 44% year-over-year to RMB47,917 million (US$6,731 million) in the six months ended September 30, 2025, compared to RMB85,596 million in the same period of 2024, primarily attributable to the investment in quick commerce, user experiences, and technology, partly offset by double-digit revenue growth in Alibaba China E-commerce Group, the improved operating results supported by continued growth in Cloud business, as well as enhanced operating efficiencies across various businesses. A reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITA is included at the end of this results announcement.

Adjusted EBITA by segment

Adjusted EBITA by segment as well as a reconciliation of income from operations to adjusted EBITA are set forth in the section entitled “Six Months Ended September Segment Results” above.

Interest and investment income, net

Interest and investment income, net in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was RMB37,468 million (US$5,263 million), an increase of 119% compared to RMB17,129 million in the same period of 2024, primarily due to mark-to-market changes from our equity investments, gain from the disposal of local consumer service business of Trendyol, and the decrease in impairment of our investments.

The above-mentioned investment gains and losses were excluded from our non-GAAP net income.

Other (expense) income, net

Other (expense) income, net in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was an income of RMB1,329 million (US$187 million), compared to expense of RMB1,221 million in the same period of 2024, was primarily due to the decrease in net exchange loss in the six months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period last year, arising from the exchange rate fluctuation between Renminbi and U.S. dollar.

Income tax expenses

Income tax expenses in the six months ended September 30, 2025 were RMB14,415 million (US$2,024 million), compared to RMB17,442 million in the same period of 2024.

Share of results of equity method investees

The following table sets forth a breakdown of share of results of equity method investees for the periods indicated:

We record our share of results of all equity method investees one quarter in arrears. The share of net profit of other equity method investees recorded in the six months ended September 30 2025, compared to the share of net losses in the same period last year, was primarily attributable to the overall improvement in the financial performance of our equity method investees. This was partly offset by the decrease in share of profit of Ant Group, which was mainly attributable to investments in new growth initiatives and technologies.

Net income and Non-GAAP net income

Our net income in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was RMB62,994 million (US$8,849 million), compared to RMB67,569 million in the same period of 2024, primarily attributable to the decrease in income from operations, partly offset by the mark-to-market changes from our equity investments, gain from the disposal of local consumer service business of Trendyol and the decrease in both the impairment of our investments and net exchange loss.

Excluding non-cash share-based compensation expense, gains/losses of investments, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, and certain other items, non-GAAP net income in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was RMB43,862 million (US$6,161 million), a decrease of 43% compared to RMB77,209 million in the same period of 2024, primarily attributable to the investment in quick commerce, user experiences, and technology, partly offset by double-digit revenue growth in Alibaba China E-commerce Group, the improved operating results supported by continued growth in Cloud business, as well as enhanced operating efficiencies across various businesses. A reconciliation of net income to non-GAAP net income is included at the end of this results announcement.

Net income attributable to ordinary shareholders

Net income attributable to ordinary shareholders in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was RMB64,106 million (US$9,005 million), compared to RMB68,143 million in the same period of 2024, primarily attributable to the decrease in income from operations, partly offset by the mark-to-market changes from our equity investments, gain from the disposal of local consumer service business of Trendyol and the decrease in both the impairment of our investments and net exchange loss.

Diluted earnings per ADS/share and non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS/share

Diluted earnings per ADS in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was RMB26.73 (US$3.75), compared to RMB28.00 in the same period of 2024. Excluding non-cash share-based compensation expense, gains/losses of investments, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, and certain other items, non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was RMB19.10 (US$2.68), a decrease of 39% compared to RMB31.50 in the same period of 2024.

Diluted earnings per share in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was RMB3.34 (US$0.47 or HK$3.66), compared to RMB3.50 in the same period of 2024. Excluding non-cash share-based compensation expense, gains/losses of investments, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, and certain other items, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was RMB2.39 (US$0.34 or HK$2.62), a decrease of 39% compared to RMB3.94 in the same period of 2024.

A reconciliation of diluted earnings per ADS/share to non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS/share is included at the end of this results announcement. Each ADS represents eight ordinary shares.

Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and other treasury investments

As of September 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and other treasury investments included in equity securities and other investments on the consolidated balance sheets, of which that are unrestricted for withdrawal and use, were RMB573,889 million (US$80,614 million), compared to RMB597,132 million as of March 31, 2025. Other treasury investments consist of fixed deposits, certificate of deposits and marketable debt securities with original maturities over one year for treasury purposes. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and other treasury investments of RMB23,243 million during the six months ended September 30, 2025, was primarily due to (i) free cash flow outflow of RMB40,655 million (US$5,711 million), (ii) dividend payment of RMB33,621 million (US$4,723 million), (iii) cash used in repurchase of ordinary shares of RMB7,638 million (US$1,073 million), partly offset by (iv) net proceeds from issuance of convertible unsecured senior notes and payments for capped call transactions of RMB20,994 million (US$2,949 million), (v) net proceeds from bank borrowings of RMB17,804 million (US$2,501 million), (vi) net proceeds from issuance of exchangeable bonds of RMB10,986 million (US$1,543 million) and (vii) proceeds of RMB12,026 million (US$1,689 million) from the disposal of Intime and local consumer service business of Trendyol.

The decrease in free cash flow was mainly attributed to the increase in our cloud infrastructure expenditure and the investment in quick commerce. A reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow is included at the end of this results announcement.

Net cash used in investing activities

During the six months ended September 30, 2025, net cash used in investing activities of RMB51,324 million (US$7,209 million) primarily reflected capital expenditures of RMB70,177 million (US$9,858 million) and net increase in short-term investments and other treasury investments by RMB11,119 million (US$1,562 million), partly offset by net cash inflow of RMB29,710 million (US$4,173 million) for investment and acquisition activities.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: for our consolidated results, adjusted EBITDA (including adjusted EBITDA margin), adjusted EBITA (including adjusted EBITA margin), non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share/ADS and free cash flow. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please refer to the table captioned “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures to the Nearest Comparable U.S. GAAP Measures” in this results announcement.

We believe that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share/ADS help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain income or expenses that we include in income from operations, net income and diluted earnings per share/ADS. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information about our core operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making. We present three different income measures, namely adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITA and non-GAAP net income in order to provide more information and greater transparency to investors about our operating results.

We consider free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by our business that can be used for strategic corporate transactions, including investing in our new business initiatives, making strategic investments and acquisitions and strengthening our balance sheet.

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITA, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share/ADS and free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to income from operations, net income, diluted earnings per share/ADS, cash flows or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures presented here do not have standardized meanings prescribed by U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to our data.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest and investment income, net, interest expense, other income (expense), net, income tax expenses, share of results of equity method investees, certain non-cash expenses, consisting of share-based compensation expense, amortization and impairment of intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, depreciation and impairment of property and equipment, and operating lease cost relating to land use rights, and others (including provision in relation to matters outside the ordinary course of business), which we do not believe are reflective of our core operating performance during the periods presented.

Adjusted EBITA represents net income before interest and investment income, net, interest expense, other income (expense), net, income tax expenses, share of results of equity method investees, certain non-cash expenses, consisting of share-based compensation expense, amortization and impairment of intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, and others (including provision in relation to matters outside the ordinary course of business), which we do not believe are reflective of our core operating performance during the periods presented.

Non-GAAP net income represents net income before non-cash share-based compensation expense, amortization and impairment of intangible assets, gain or loss on deemed disposals/disposals/revaluation of investments, impairment of goodwill and investments, and others (including provision in relation to matters outside the ordinary course of business), and adjustments for the tax effects.

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share represents non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares for computing non-GAAP diluted earnings per share on a diluted basis. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS represents non-GAAP diluted earnings per share after adjusting for the ordinary share-to-ADS ratio.

Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities as presented in our consolidated cash flow statement less purchases of property and equipment (excluding acquisition of land use rights and construction in progress relating to office campuses) and intangible assets (excluding those acquired through acquisitions), as well as adjustments to exclude from net cash provided by operating activities the buyer protection fund deposits from merchants on our marketplaces. We deduct certain items of cash flows from investing activities in order to provide greater transparency into cash flow from our revenue-generating business operations. We exclude “acquisition of land use rights and construction in progress relating to office campuses” because the office campuses are used by us for corporate and administrative purposes and are not directly related to our revenue-generating business operations. We also exclude buyer protection fund deposits from merchants on our marketplaces because these deposits are restricted for the purpose of compensating buyers for claims against merchants.

The table captioned “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures to the Nearest Comparable U.S. GAAP Measures” in this results announcement has more details on the non-GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations between these financial measures.
