20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - 111, Inc. ("111" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: YI), a leading tech-enabled healthcare

China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Quarter 2024 Highlights
Year 2024 Highlights
Mr. Junling Liu, Co-Founder,
Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of 111, commented, "2024 was
a year of both challenges and transformation. The macroeconomic environment and ongoing healthcare reforms created headwinds across the
industry, pressuring consumer spending, retail pharmacy sales, and profitability while also intensifying competition. Despite these challenges,
we successfully navigated the evolving market landscape to achieve a historic milestone-our first-ever annual operational profitability
and positive operating cash flow. Notably, income from operations for the full year 2024 was RMB2.1 million, a significant turnaround
from an operating loss of RMB350.1 million in 2023. This solid performance underscores the resilience of our business model and our strategic
execution in becoming the most efficient tech-enabled healthcare e-commerce platform."
relentless focus on operational efficiency continues to drive impressive improvements through cost optimization and strategic infrastructure
investments. In Q4, total operating expenses accounted for 5.5% of revenues, down 470 basis points year over year, while on a non-GAAP
basis, the ratio fell 130 basis points to a record-low 5.3%. For full-year 2024, our operating expense ratio declined 230 basis points
to 5.7%, while the non-GAAP ratio dropped 90 basis points to 5.6%."
we made further strides in supply chain management, primarily by streamlining logistics, reducing delivery times, and lowering costs
through our Kunpeng Network, which now operates 28 transportation routes across our five major geographic super hubs. Our continued investments
in AI-driven solutions and digital tools have also strengthened operational efficiency while enhancing customer engagement."
challenges remain, we believe the most difficult period is now behind us. Looking ahead into 2025, we remain confident in the long-term
growth opportunities driven by the digitalization of healthcare, the transition of pharmaceutical sales toward retail pharmacies, and
the rising healthcare needs of China's aging population. We will
continue to invest in AI and digital technologies to further cement our competitive position, elevate operational efficiency, and empower
the entire healthcare value chain. Our strategy also focuses on bolstering supply chain capabilities and stimulating demand through deepened
customer engagement. With a robust technology foundation, an efficient supply chain, and an unwavering commitment to pioneering seamless
one-stop shopping experiences in this sector, we are well positioned to seize new opportunities, drive sustainable growth, and enhance
profitability in the quarters ahead."
