Thank you, Caroline, and thank you all for joining us. In the second quarter of 2024, we delivered high-quality results. For JDNOW, Both monthly transacting users and orders through the JD app recorded over 100% year-on-year growth in the quarter. Meanwhile, the penetration of JD Now among JD users continues to increase sequentially. For DataNow, our local on-demand delivery platform, revenue growth in the first half of the year exceeded 50% year-on-year. Driven by the overall improvement in operational efficiency, our non-GAAP net loss margin narrowed sequentially in the second quarter. Specifically, Data Group's total net revenues in the second quarter were RMB $2.3 billion, The year-on-year change was mainly due to the continued review and adjustments of the JDNow business, starting from the beginning of this year. Net revenues from JDNow were RMB $912 million in the quarter. Net revenues from DataNow increased by 47% year-on-year to RMB $1.4 billion. In the first half of the year, Net revenues of data now increased by 51% year-on-year to RMB 2.6 billion, mainly driven by the continuous expansion of new customers and the increased penetration of existing partners in our PA business. Non-GAAP net loss in the second quarter was RMB 142 million, sequentially improving by RMB 53 million. This was mainly due to our strategic refocusing on core businesses, which is gradually bearing fruit. Down gap net loss ratio in the second quarter was 6.1%, sequentially narrowing by 1.8 percentage points. Now let's go through the operating highlights for two platforms, JDNOW and DataNOW. Starting with the JDNOW. After our brand update in May 2024, we officially announced the first brand ambassador of JD Now in July in an effort to further enhance our brand image. As witnessed by Olympic champion hurdler Liu Xiang, JD Now showcased its industry-leading delivery speed and deepened its brand image of quality merchandise and instant delivery. During the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, we conducted a series of brand promotion and marketing campaigns, echoing users' game-watching and shopping enthusiasm, cheering on the Olympic athletes by providing users with on-demand shopping experience with delivery as fast as nine minutes. For instance, we launched a bill-waving for celebration campaign offering 2024 randomly selected orders free of charge every time Team China claimed a gold medal, and a late-night feed channel providing the nighttime audience with rich selections of snacks and beverages. We are pleased to see how well these efforts have resonated with our customers. In the second quarter, we remained focused on driving growth on the JD app, increasing user mindshare, as well as continuously enriching supply to better serve users' diverse needs for on-demand retail. On the GMAT side, We expanded the geographic coverage of the JD Now section on the JD app nationwide and accelerated penetration among JD Plus members to reach more JD users. We launched a new JD Now section in the central area of the JD app home page in May 2024. Enabling products and merchants on JD Now to gain incremental exposure Earlier in August, following our operations in the first batch of 39 CDs for more than two months, we further expanded the service coverage of the JDNOW section nationwide, delivering more users with the convenient JDNOW on-demand retail services right to their doorsteps. Meanwhile, we introduced exclusive benefits such as price discounts for JDplus members. to engage them to experience the convenient on-demand retail service of JD Now and gain their mind share. In June 2024, the number of average JD Plus members who placed orders on JD Now increased by 40% as compared with March 24. On the supply side, We took initiatives on five fronts to comprehensively enhance our supply capability. In terms of store coverage, we continue to expand our product offering in existing categories, such as convenience stores and consumer electronics. In the convenience stores category during this quarter, JD now depend its cooperation with Meijia, the largest convenience store operator in China in terms of store count, with over 5,000 stores on board. And in July, we launched over 1,000 stores of internationally-renowned convenience store brands, such as Roses. In addition, in the consumer electronics category, to support the launch of the JDNOW section, we made further progress in essential accessories to better meet users' immediate needs. For instance, we initiated new partnerships with leading brands, such as Python, a renowned digital accessories brand in China, and deepened cooperation with existing partners, such as Ugreen, a leading smartphone and tablet accessory brand in China. During the quarter, the number of transacting stores in consumer electronics category increased by more than 10,000 sequentially. In our efforts to boost price competitiveness, we continue to enhance capabilities and reinforce users' perceptions of JTNL's value for money offerings. In May, we launched the Top Rents for RMB 1 Yuan section on the landing page of the JDNOW tab, offering consumers more than 10 million items of value-for-money products priced as low as RMB 1 Yuan. In May, the 7-day repeat purchase rate of users who purchased products from this section was 6 percentage points higher than that of the entire JDNOW tab. In terms of inventory, in June, we launched the Treasures of the Store tab in the supermarket category, featuring curated and reliable flagship SKUs in product categories such as fresh produce offered by leading supermarkets. Going forward, we will continue to explore more opportunities with supermarkets for the Treasures of the Store tab and highlight differentiated product offerings. On the content side, we continue to enrich product information and improve product attractiveness. In May, we added the product setting points, promotional discounts, and other decision-useful information to search results and the main product images, which increased the click-through rate of search results by over one percentage point and the conversion rate by over 2 percentage points. On the extra service side, we continue to improve the fulfillment experience. In the second quarter, the average fulfillment time of JD Now's on-demand orders delivered by DataNow shortened by 15% year-on-year. In May, we launched the on-time delivery guarantee service for our customers on the JD app. which automatically compensates users with a no-threshold coupon when order is fulfilled more than 10 minutes later than the estimated delivery time, showcasing our competence in the continuous improvement of delivery speed. In addition, in May, we joined hands with Highline Homes and other menswear brands to take the lead in launching free try-on service and apparel on-demand retail industry. Enabling consumers to enjoy free shipping provided by brands of returned orders if they find the size or style unsatisfactory after fitting. Following the launch of the service, the conversion rate of the related brands increased by more than 10%. While we continue to implement the above-mentioned comprehensive measures, the penetration of JDNOW on JD users continue to increase with accelerated mindshare growth. Our store density and supply quality continue to improve, resulting in accelerated order volume growth. With the launch of the JDNOW section at the center of the JDF homepage, In the second quarter, our average daily unique visitors through the JD app increased by over 70% year-on-year, while user conversion rate was up over 20% year-on-year, driving the average daily paying users to increase by over 100% year-on-year, excluding the impact of business adjustments. In terms of user stickiness, During this quarter, the 30-day repeat purchase rate of users through the core JD app channel increased by over 10 percentage points year-on-year, excluding the impact of business adjustments. Specifically, the 30-day repeat purchase rate of users of the newly launched JD Now section exceeded 50% in May and June. In April through June, the number of high-frequency users through the JD app channel increased by over 100% year-on-year, excluding the impact of business adjustments, and accelerated from month to month, contributing to the improvement in overall repeat purchase rate. In addition, we continued to improve user satisfaction in the second quarter, demonstrated by a decrease in cost per order or CPO by over 10% year-on-year. On the supply side, we continue to expand our offering. By end of June, the number of operating stores increased by nearly 70% year-on-year. The daily average number of transacting stores during the quarter increased by over 80% year-on-year. At the end of June, the proportion of highly-priced competitive products increased nearly 7 percentage points from a year earlier, bringing the total number of attractively-priced store-specific SKUs to 100 million. Driven by the growth of user base and a stronger user mindshare, as well as the continuous enhancement of supply, The number of online orders through the JD app channel increased by over 100% year-on-year in the second quarter, more than 30 percentage points faster than that in Q1. The peak day online order volume of JD Now reached a new high during the quarter. Excluding the impact of our business adjustment, JD Now's average daily paid order volume increased by over 50% year-on-year in this quarter. Next, I'd like to give you an update on DataNow, a leading local on-demand delivery platform open to merchants and individual sellers across various industries and product categories. In the second quarter, DataNow maintained rapid growth driven by the continued increase in the penetration of restaurants and beverage KAs. Net revenues from that add-on increased by 47% year-on-year to RMB 1.4 billion in the second quarter. The earnings released distributed earlier. We added disclosure of the number of orders delivered and the gross billings of our on-demand delivery business. The number of orders delivered includes orders directly placed through DataNow by merchants and individual senders, and orders fulfilled by DataNow for merchants on JDNOW. Those billings refer to the gross amount of service charged for above-mentioned orders of the on-demand delivery services, net of value-added tax. We believe that this measure is more representative of our business scale and more comparable to our peers. The number of orders delivered by DataNow in the second quarter rose 21% year-on-year to $679 million. And the gross billions of DataNow grew by 23% year-on-year to RMB $3 billion. In the first half of the year, net revenues from DataNow increased by 51% year-on-year to RMB 2.6 billion, mainly thanks to the continuous expansion of new K customers, as well as increased penetration of existing customers. The number of orders delivered by DataNow in the first half was up 15% year-over-year to $1.2 billion, and the gross billings of DataNow were up 15% year-on-year to RMB $5.5 billion. Our KA, or chain merchants, business saw an overall revenue growth of nearly 50% year-on-year in the second quarter, of which net revenues of restaurant and beverage KAs grew by nearly 80%, as to a significant growth in the number of new stores, which more than doubled year-over-year. In terms of beverage KAs, we deepened our cooperation with brands such as Luckin Coffee and Chachi, For restaurant KAs, we continue to increase penetration of top customers, such as YamChina, while then doubling the number of fulfilled orders and revenues of the subcategory. This concludes our operational updates for the two platforms. Overall, during the quarter, we remain committed to our high-quality growth strategy. The continuous enhancement of user experience and the supply of the JD now resulted in increased consumer engagement and a rapid order of growth on the JD app. Meanwhile, data now saw further gains in the market share and a strong revenue growth momentum, thanks to increased penetration of restaurants and beverage KAs. Going forward, we will continue to focus on high-quality development It has user experience across the board to strengthen our efforts to increase the mind share of our on-demand retail business. And the further left is synergies between the on-demand retail and the on-demand delivery platforms. With that, I will now go over the financials for the quarter. Before we go over numbers, just a few housekeeping items. We believe year-over-year comparisons are the most useful way to evaluate our performance, and as a result, our percentage change that I'm going to give will be on a year-over-year basis, and all figures are in RMB, otherwise noted. In addition, please note that we changed the presentation of the disaggregation of our net revenues this quarter to better reflect our business lines. with prior period financials retrospectively recast to confirm to current period presentation. Net revenues from JDNow include three line items, namely commission fee revenues, online advertising and marketing services revenues, and fulfillment services and others. And net revenues from DataNow also include three line items, namely intra-city delivery services revenue, last mile delivery services revenue, and other revenues. The total net revenues in the second quarter was $2.3 billion. Net revenues from JDNOW was $912 million, mainly due to a decrease in online advertising and marketing services revenue and a decrease in fulfillment services and other revenues. as a result of the full rollout of our delivery fee waiver program for orders exceeding RMB 29 since February 2024. NAREP use from DataNow increased by 47% to $1.4 billion, mainly driven by an increase in order volume of intra-city delivery services provided to various chain merchants. For the first half of 2024, NAM revenues from data now increased by 51% to $2.6 billion. Specifically, revenues from intra-city delivery services and revenues from last mile delivery services increased by 51% and 64% in the first half of 2024, respectively. Moving over to cost and expense side, Operations and support costs in the second quarter were $1.7 billion. This increase was primarily due to an increase in rider costs as a result of the increased order volume of intra-city delivery services provided to various chain merchants, partially offset by a decrease in online advertising and marketing services costs. Selling and marketing expenses decreased to $782 million, primarily due to a decrease in promotion activities initiated by us on the JDNOW platform. General and administrative expenses decreased to $48 million as a result of a decrease in amortization of intangible assets arising from the acquisition of JDNOW in 2016. Research and development expenses decreased to $85 million, meaning attributable to a decrease in research and development personnel costs. Long-gap net loss was $142 million, and long-gap net loss margins were 60.1%, sequentially narrowing by 1.8 percentage points. As of June 30, 2024, we had $3.6 billion in cash, cash equivalents with free cash and short-term investment. And pursuant to our $40 million US dollars share repurchase program announced in March 2024, we had repurchased approximately $9.8 million US dollars of ADSs as of June 30, 2024. This concludes my prepared remarks. Operator, we are now ready to begin the Q&A session. Thank you.

Thank you. If you wish to ask a question, please press star 1 on your telephone and wait for your name to be announced. If you wish to cancel your request, please press star 2. If you are on a speakerphone, please pick up the handset to ask your questions. Our first question is from the line of Thomas Chong with Jefferies. Please go ahead.

speaker
Thomas Chong

Hi, good morning. Thanks, management, for taking my question. My first question is about consumer sentiment. Can management update about the trend in recent months? And my second question is about competitive landscape. How we should think about it over the next couple of quarters And can management comment about the business trend for JD Now and Adata Now in the second half? Thank you.

speaker
Henry

Thank you, Thomas, for your question. As we shared on our previous calls for JD Now, we focused on the overall consumption, willingness, and trend. On the willingness front in the second quarter, Online sales of physical goods grew by 6.4% year-on-year on last year's high base, and the year-on-year growth rate in July slightly increased to 8.1%, reflecting the continuous and stable recovery of the overall consumer confidence and willingness to spend. In terms of consumption trends, we continue to observe growing consumer demand for convenience across various categories. As an on-demand retail platform, we are actively expanding high-quality supply across a wide range of categories to provide consumers with an increasingly rich selection. On the other hand, we continuously optimize the fulfillment experience and reinforce the mindset of quality and speed. Therefore, we firmly believe that the penetration rate of on-demand retail and overall social retail will continue to increase. And as you may know, since the beginning of this year, when we started to fully embrace the JD.com ecosystem and drive the upgrade of user experience, JD now has maintained rapid growth in GMV and the user base within the JD app channel. We believe that our competitive edge lies in the richness of offerings on the supply side and the deep integration with JD.com on the demand side. driving us to increase our market share with the augmented retail industry as we ride on the industry growth. On the supply side, we've continually expanded cooperation with a wide range of local merchants across all categories, such as chain supermarkets, convenience stores, brand authorized stores, etc. Our extensive partnership with merchants ensures a rich supply of high-quality products on our platform, which is the foundation of gaining the trust of continuously attracting and retaining customers. And on the demand side, our quarterly paying users currently account for only a middle single digit percentage of JD's overall user base, leaving ample room for further penetration among JD.com users. Given that JD.com users inherently have clear shopping purpose and are more demanding in terms of product quality and delivery speed, which fits the profile of on-demand retail users well, we believe that converting JD.com users into on-demand retail users is more efficient, and we remain confident in long-term continuous improvement of our penetration rate among JD.com users. DataNow, I think you can see in terms of order volume and revenue growth in the first half of 2024, DataNow significantly outperformed the on-demand delivery industry and the major third-party on-demand delivery platforms, meaning that we are continuously gaining market share. DataNow has significantly advantaged in terms of network coverage and the delivery costs, giving us confidence in maintaining above industry growth rate in the long run. In terms of the network coverage, L&R has already covered more than 2,600 cities and counties with an annual active rider count approaching 1.3 million and the cumulative number of registered riders in the tens of millions. So this ensures sufficient delivery capacity in both high-tier and low-tier cities. And in terms of the delivery cost, as to the crowdsourced delivery model, the average delivery cost per order for Datanel is lower than that of other major third-party on-demand delivery platforms on a like-for-like basis. And JDNOW has always been committed to providing users with on-demand retail shopping experience of quality merchandise and instant delivery in order to lead the development of the on-demand retail industry. So as I mentioned earlier, at the beginning of the year, there were comprehensive review and adjustments of the business. We have established a strategy of focusing on user experience fully embracing with JD.com ecosystem and further deepening our strategic partnership with JD.com. To this end, for the first half year, we have been optimizing the user experience and enriching supply through a series of measures such as the delivery fee waiver program and the brand upgrade with the aim of accelerating the penetration among JD.com's vast user base and further enhancing the user mind share and brand influence of JD.NET. In this quarter, we see a strong trend of improvements in core operational metrics. As introduced, our average monthly transacting users and orders through the JD app grew by over 100% on the year-over-year basis, accelerating by over 30%. percentage points from Q1 24. So in the long term, we believe that there is significant room for the on-demand retail industry to increase its penetration rate, which is still an early stage of development with huge upside, and we are firmly committed to investing in our business. And for Tata now, over the past two years, we have made continued significant progress in increasing market share and improved profitability. In particular, our year-on-year revenue growth for the first half of over 50% significantly outpaced the industry growth. So for DataNow, we are currently in the process of brand upgrade. So DataNow will be renamed as DataNow Catalyze Now. to strengthen our brand image as a high-speed, high-quality delivery service provider.

Thomas Chong

Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. Our next question is from the line of Alicia Yap with Citigroup. Please go ahead.

speaker
Alicia Yap

Hi. Good morning, management. Thanks for taking my questions. Two questions here. One is for your JD now order demand, can management share with us how the user consumption pattern in terms of the category? So whether you have seen cutback on the non-FMCG category versus the FMCG category? Just wondering, are there any pressure for the take rate across the different categories given the macro situation. The second question's follow-up. So thank you for giving a lot more disclosure starting this quarter. So besides the revenue, just wondering if management can also remind us the gross profit trend for each of the segments for the data now. For example, the CA customer, the SME in terms of the last mile, So wondering if you can provide some of the segments and if you see any of these segments that actually have a bigger macro headwind. Thank you.

speaker
Henry

Thank you, Alicia, for your question. So I just want to highlight that starting from the beginning of this year, our company has proactively undergone persistent streamlining and adjustments. concentrating on the core businesses in the channels while terminating some inefficient operations in the channels. So consequently, JD now has faced challenges in terms of overall GMB and revenue growth in the short term. Nonetheless, we anticipate that this adjustment will pave the way for sustainable high-quality growth in the long run. While we are encouraged to see the rapid growth of users and all the volume on the JD app channel. So to your question, with years of experience to the supermarket category, we have firmly established our brand in the minds of consumers. Compared to other categories, the supermarket category is more mature and stable. Within this category, we've noticed a growing appeal of retail models like club warehouse stores and convenience stores among consumers. So in response, we are actively thinking collaborations with these models to fulfill consumer needs. For example, in the convenience store category, we continue to deepen and expand our cooperation with top brands in the second quarter, bringing on more than 5,000 Mayija stores and more than 10,000 Lawson stores in July. The improvement in supply also led to incremental orders for J.D. now. In recent years, non-supermarket categories have seen a consistently higher growth rate than supermarkets, largely due to the rising on-demand retail penetration rate in these sectors and evolving consumer mindshare. This trend has continued into this year. Our emerging categories such as flowers and beverages registered rapid growth during the second quarter thanks to our supply expansion efforts and a series of festival-themed marketing campaigns which resonated well with consumers. So we are confident that as consumers increasingly value convenience across all categories and merchants prioritize on-demand retail channels, every category holds significant growth potential in the future for JD&L. And to your question regarding the UE for DataNow, I think in terms of business development trend of DataNow, KA business is still the focus of this year. So for the KA business, we will meet the needs of our customers with high-caliber fulfillment services to increase our market share. And for both the KA and SME business, we will closely monitor the development of the industry and our industry peers and balance top-line growth and profitability improvement. As the demand and on-demand delivery service remain fast-growing across restaurants and beverage, supermarkets, and other categories, DataNow's performance has been resilient. I hope that answers your question.

speaker
Alicia Yap

Thank you.

speaker
Operator

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Ajulu Lee with CICC. Please go ahead.

speaker
Ajulu Lee

Hi, good morning, Benjamin. Thanks for taking my question. I think I have three questions here. The first one is about financial guidance. As we see, data now has a relatively higher growth. JD now revenue growth may face some pressure here. From the financial perspective, can we share more COLA about our growth target or financial guidance also by business? And the second one is about cooperation with JD. Hello. Do we have any some new developments in our cooperation and understand that in the long term, we still aim to penetrate like 50% of JD users. In addition, what other short-term, mid-term, and even long-term goals are there and how to quantify them. And also the third one is about the management change. We noticed management change this month are there any change to the company strategy and can we share more about it? Yeah, thank you.

speaker
Henry

Yeah, thank you, Joel, for your question. So, regarding the outlook or the business plan, I think, as I mentioned repeatedly earlier, like starting from this year, we have been through the Business Review and Adjustment, which has posed a challenge on JDNOT's GMV and emission revenue growth in the short term. But we have seen some fruitful results with the focus of embracing more with JD.com ecosystem and the user base and the order volume growth on JDF has partially offset the impact of our business streamlining. So especially for the second quarter, excluding the impact of business adjustment, our GMV was largely flat on a year-over-year basis. And also, the GMV from JD App Channel experiencing a year-over-year growth of over 20%. The channel focus shift also temporarily affected our advertising monetization rate. Advertising revenue for JD now was primarily generated from the independent JD DJ app previously. However, since the beginning of the year, we have been strategically pivoting to the JD app channel. So as a result, the traffic and the GMV of the independent JD DJ app have shown a continuous decline, obstructing advertising monetization. On the other hand, although the traffic and the GMV in the JD app channel have significantly increased, we are still focusing on cultivating user mindshare and penetration. So at the same time, there is room for improvement in the sophistication of location-based technology advertising products and marketing solutions within the JD app channel, which require further refinement and merchant education. However, in the long run, we are fully confident in advertising monetization potential of on-demand retail within the JD app channel. and believe that a healthier business structure following our business adjustments will pave the way for the long-term sustainable growth. And for DataNow, thanks to the strong momentum of our restaurants and beverage KAs, our order volume and revenue achieved rapid growth, continuously gaining market share in the on-demand delivery industry. Data now has significant advantages in terms of network coverage and the delivery part, giving us confidence in maintaining above industry growth rate in the long run. So overall, I think currently management are prioritizing user and order volume growth with a focus on penetrating more JD users and enhancing their mindshare of on-demand retail. In the long run, the improvement in users' repeat purchase and the growth of order volume along with the GMB will contribute to commission revenue and better monetization of advertising business. And on the bottom-line front is our confidence in the industry's potential and our competitive advantages. We remain optimistic about achieving break-even and profitability in the long term. And speaking of the cooperation with JD.com, this quarter, we continue to fully embrace with JD ecosystem, accelerating our user penetration and my share growth. In May, a new JD.NOW section was launched on the homepage of JD app, initially covering 39 cities. It focuses on high-frequency essential categories such as coffee and milk tea, convenience stores, fresh produce markets, and emergency digital products, offering consumers on-demand shopping options across all categories with delivery as fast as nine minutes. In June, the average daily paying users of the JD.Now section had approached 10% of the overall users of JD.Now through the JD.com app. And the 30-day repurchase rate of users in the JD Now section exceeded 60%, which is also higher than that of users through the JD.com app. So we think it is a sign of initial results that JD Now section has achieved in terms of user penetration and cultivating consumer habits. And as of yesterday, we further expanded the geographical coverage of JDNOW section to nationwide, providing more JD.com users with the on-demand retail service. Next to the increase in exposure brought about by the newly launched JDNOW section, as well as the continuous optimization of CTR and conversion rates at various entry points. So in this quarter, the penetration rate of JDNow's quarterly ping users among the JD user base reached middle single digits with both the year-on-year and the quarter-to-quarter growth. So we are also confident in the further improvement of user penetration in the future. DataNow also supported JD Logistics in smoothly handling the order peak during the June 18 shopping festival, providing flexible delivery capacity for first mile pickup and then last mile delivery services. And to your question regarding the company's strategy, as you can see, the announcement regarding the management change. So Mr. Kevin Hu has become the chair of the board of directors of the company, providing high-level strategic planning and consultation to the company. But the strategy of both JDNow and DataNow has never changed. ADNOW has always been committed to providing users with on-demand retail shopping experience of quality merchandise and instant delivery in order to lead the development of the on-demand retail industry. And also, ADNOW will continue to focus on providing customers with stable and efficient on-demand delivery services. And also, as I mentioned, the restaurant and beverage KAS business is a top priority of this year.
