SHANGHAI, November 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -
111, Inc. ("111" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: YI), a leading tech-enabled healthcare platform company committed to digitally
connecting patients with medicine and healthcare services in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter
ended September 30, 2021.
Quarter 2021 Highlights
(1) Gross profit represents net revenues less cost
Mr. Junling Liu, Co-Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive
Officer of 111, commented, "The third quarter of 2021 represents another period of strong growth, as net revenue increased 41.6%
year-over-year to RMB 3.3 billion, marking the 13th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth for 111 since the company's NASDAQ
IPO. Our top- and bottom-line growth this quarter was driven by our B2B business, which saw year-over-year revenue and gross margin increases
of 46% and 145%, respectively. In addition, the market continued to show strong demand for our diverse portfolio of services offerings.
Overall, service revenue grew 106% year-over-year, and B2B service revenues totaled RMB16.2 million, representing a 336% year-over-year
Mr. Liu added, "In addition to strong
topline growth, our gross profit grew twice as fast as our revenue in the third quarter. Gross profit grew by 85% year-over-year, and
as a percentage of revenue, our gross margins improved to 5%. We are especially pleased with the margin improvement for the B2B segment,
which as a percentage of revenue, grew from 3.6% in Q1-2021 to 3.8% in Q2-2021, to 4.4% in Q3-2021. We expect this momentum to continue
as we scale, putting us on a clear path to profitability."
"We continue to improve upon our SMART supply
chain infrastructure. In the third quarter, we expanded the number of direct sourcing partnerships with domestic and global pharmaceutical
companies to 401, up 33% from the same period in 2020. 111 is an attractive partner for pharmaceutical companies because we can help them
establish and manage an "out-of-hospital" channel that connects them with over 350,000 retail pharmacies. We expect that our
value as a commercialization partner will continue to increase as we grow, enabling us to offer even more services to companies looking
to commercialize their products in China."
"Our recently launched '1 Health Membership' program continues
to gain strong momentum with our customers. This program allows members pay an annual fee to unlock exclusive benefits, and at the end
of the third quarter, we had over 11,000 participating stores, well exceeding our internal target of 10,000. Through 1 Health Membership,
we have also seen an increase in purchases amongst participating stores, which are not only attracted to our vast selection and competitive
prices, but also interested in gaining access to the valuable tools we offer to help them better manage their businesses. Currently, over
2,000 stores are using our proprietary systems to help them manage inventory, optimize their procurement and product selection, improve
their customer experience through our CRM system, and provide product education to their customers and employees."
"As a company committed to helping people live healthier lives,
ESG is very much embedded in our core values. Year-to-date, we have provided approximately 400,000 free online consultations, including
with patients in Henan Provence, many of whom have been faced with severe flooding conditions. In addition, we have partnered with local
hospitals to provide medical services to underserved populations. Finally, we have donated PPEs and other healthcare products to areas
experiencing recurrence of COVID outbreaks. We will continue to support our community and help realize our collective goal of a Healthy
Mr. Liu concluded, "We will continue to focus on revenue growth
and the margin improvement, and we are confident that we will become profitable in near future. Our leading position in the healthcare
services sector, along with industry tailwinds, position 111 well for continued growth as we transform medical services in China."
