Exhibit 99.1
Alibaba Group
Announces June Quarter 2026 Results
Hong Kong, China, August 20,
2026 - 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 June 30, 2026.
“We delivered a strong quarter,
driven by the improving commercialization of our full-stack AI capabilities,” said Eddie Wu, Chief Executive Officer of Alibaba
Group. “Alibaba Cloud’s external revenue growth accelerated to 45%, with AI-related product revenue delivering triple-digit
growth for the twelfth consecutive quarter. We recently launched frontier language, coding, video, audio, image and music models, all
delivering top-tier performance. We introduced QwenWork, an AI workforce agent that unleashes enterprise productivity and capabilities.
With our full-stack AI strategy, we have put Alibaba in a superior position to capture the substantial growth of demand for artificial
intelligence and AI compute.”
“This quarter, we delivered robust
revenue growth and margin improvement across our core businesses. Cloud segment revenue growth continued to accelerate, with quality
earnings and operating leverage increasing EBITA margin to 12%. Our quick commerce business continued to improve unit economics while
maintaining market share, and our overall e-commerce business delivered resilient profits,” said Toby Xu, Chief Financial Officer
of Alibaba Group. “As synergies across our core businesses deepen and AI monetization ramps up, we have greater strategic and financial
flexibility to make disciplined and sustained investments in full-stack AI capabilities.”
BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
In the quarter ended June 30,
2026:
· Revenue
was RMB268,953 million (US$39,639 million), an increase of 9% year-over-year.
· Customer
management revenue decreased by 7% year-over-year. Excluding the contra revenue impact
from the new business development program, customer management revenue on a like-for-like
basis would have grown by 1% year-over-year.
· Income
from operations was RMB15,161 million (US$2,234 million), a decrease of 57% year-over-year,
primarily due to the decrease in adjusted EBITA, impairment of goodwill and a provision(1) recorded
this year. Adjusted EBITA, a non-GAAP measurement, decreased 30% year-over-year to
RMB27,329 million (US$4,028 million), primarily attributable to the investment in technology,
partly offset by the improved operating results in our Cloud business, as well as enhanced
operating efficiencies across various businesses.
· Net
income attributable to ordinary shareholders was RMB10,537 million (US$1,553 million).
Net income was RMB10,444 million (US$1,539 million), a decrease of 75% year-over-year,
primarily attributable to the decrease in income from operations, decrease in net gains from
disposal of investments, and the decrease in net gain from mark-to-market changes of our
equity investments. Non-GAAP net income in the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was
RMB20,715 million (US$3,053 million), a decrease of 38% compared to RMB33,510 million in
the same quarter of 2025.
1
· Diluted
earnings per ADS was RMB3.71 (US$0.55). Diluted earnings per share was RMB0.46
(US$0.07 or HK$0.53). Non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS was RMB8.52 (US$1.26), a decrease
of 42% year-over-year. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was RMB1.07 (US$0.16 or
HK$1.23), a decrease of 42% year-over-year.
· Net
cash provided by operating activities was RMB22,945 million (US$3,382 million), an increase
of 11% compared to RMB20,672 million in the same quarter of 2025. Free cash flow,
a non-GAAP measurement of liquidity, was an outflow of RMB44,670 million (US$6,584 million),
compared to an outflow of RMB18,815 million in the same quarter of 2025. The decrease in
free cash flow was mainly attributed to the increase in our cloud infrastructure expenditure.
As of June 30, 2026, our cash and other liquid investments(2) were RMB474,505
million (US$69,933 million).
Reconciliations of GAAP measures to
non-GAAP measures presented above are included at the end of this results announcement.

Other Financial Results”.

BUSINESS AND STRATEGIC UPDATES
During the quarter ended June 30,
2026, we undertook strategic combinations of certain businesses to realize synergies across our commerce platforms and strengthen our
full-stack AI capabilities. Alibaba China E-commerce Group, Alibaba International Digital Commerce Group, together with Freshippo, were
integrated to form Alibaba E-commerce Group. Cloud Intelligence Group and T-Head were combined to form AI Cloud and Compute Services.
In addition, AI model labs, Qwen Consumer Business Group, QwenWork, all previously included in “All Others”, were consolidated
to form AI Labs and Applications. Based on this strategic re-alignment, starting from this quarter, our segment reporting will present
the following: (1) Alibaba E-commerce Group, (2) AI Cloud and Compute Services, (3) AI Labs and Applications, and (4) All
Others.
Alibaba E-commerce Group
The new Alibaba E-commerce Group reflects
our strategic focus on unlocking significant synergies across our domestic and cross-border e-commerce businesses. Starting from this
quarter, we will present Alibaba E-commerce Group’s revenue as the following: (1) China E-commerce, (2) China Quick Commerce,
(3) International E-commerce, and (4) Global Wholesale.
We are deepening the integration of
AI capabilities into our e-commerce platforms to enhance experiences for both consumers and merchants. On the consumer side, Qwen Shopping
Assistant, a one-stop AI agent which delivers end-to-end assistance across the entire shopping journey from consumer idea inspiration
to after-sales services on the Taobao app, demonstrated rapid growth in user adoption since its launch in May. For merchants, we have
enhanced our merchant operations management platform with skill-based agentic capabilities that seamlessly automate end-to-end workflows,
from product listing and store management to advertising and customer services.
2
In our China E-commerce business, CMR
decreased 7% year-over-year during the quarter. Excluding the contra revenue impact from the new business development program, on a like-for-like
basis, CMR would have grown 1% year-over-year. The slow-down in revenue growth was primarily due to weaker transaction activities. We
saw incremental customer management revenue driven by the increase in monthly active consumers on the Taobao app because of our growth
of quick commerce business.
The China Quick Commerce business includes
Taobao Instant Commerce, Freshippo, and other on-demand delivery business. Taobao Instant Commerce continued to improve its unit economics
quarter-over-quarter, driven by higher average order value and enhanced fulfillment logistics efficiency, while maintaining market share.
We improved the order mix through an increasing focus on high-value food orders and non-food categories. Meanwhile, Freshippo maintained
robust year-over-year growth momentum in orders and revenue, driven by its expanding footprint into emerging cities and counties, as
well as deeper collaboration with Taobao Instant Commerce to offer differentiated grocery and fresh produce products.
The number of 88VIP members, our highest
spending consumer group, continued to increase by double digits year-over-year to approximately 64 million as of June 30, 2026.
We remain focused on the growth and retention of 88VIP members through enhanced value proposition to our most valued customers.
In our International E-commerce business,
AliExpress achieved operating profit this quarter, driven by logistics optimization and cost efficiency enhancement. We continued to
diversify and enrich our product offerings by leveraging the supply chain advantages of the Alibaba ecosystem. The proportion of AliExpress’
sales that are contributed by local product supplies has continued to increase significantly year-over-year.
AI Cloud and Compute Services
For the quarter ended June 30,
2026, revenue from AI Cloud and Compute Services was RMB48,437 million (US$7,139 million). The year-over-year growth of total revenue
and revenue from external customers both accelerated to 45%. This momentum was primarily driven by the increasing adoption of AI-related
products. AI-related product revenue continued to show strong momentum, achieving RMB12,376 million (US$1,824 million) and delivering
the twelfth consecutive quarter of triple-digit year-over-year growth.
Cloud
Alibaba Cloud continues to lead the
market, driven by growing customer adoption of our full-stack AI capabilities across AI agents, AI models, AI cloud infrastructure, and
orchestration software that manages heterogeneous chip clusters, including our own proprietary chips. Omdia’s “AI Cloud Market:
China - 2025” reported that Alibaba Cloud ranked first in China’s AI cloud market with the largest share of 38.1%, highlighting
our ability to outperform industry and lead China's fast-growing AI cloud market with our comprehensive full-stack AI capabilities.
Chip Design – T-Head Semiconductor
(“T-Head”)
T-Head has established a portfolio of
proprietary silicon, spanning GPU, CPU, storage and networking chips. This comprehensive chip portfolio enables integrated hardware optimization
across compute, storage and networking, strengthening our ability to deliver high performance and efficiency in AI infrastructure.
The Zhenwu chips, including Zhenwu M890,
the latest AI processor, have achieved broad commercial adoption via Alibaba Cloud services from more than 650 external customers across
over 20 industries, including autonomous driving, Internet, and financial services. This broad adoption demonstrates its ability
to support AI workloads from training and fine-tuning to inference.

AI Labs and Applications
Model
Our model development has demonstrated
a combination of capability and fast iteration, with our frontier language, coding, video, audio, image and music models all delivering
top-tier performance. In August, we launched our flagship foundation model Qwen3.8-Max within three months of its prior version, and
we opened its model weights with 2.4 trillion parameters. Qwen3.8-Max delivers comprehensive improvements across coding, real-world work,
research, long-horizon tasks and multimodal agents, enabling it to complete complex tasks with greater reliability.
QwenWork
QwenWork is our flagship unified AI-native
workforce agent. Through advanced AI models and agentic capabilities, QwenWork is designed to unlock productivity at the organizational
level and drive operating efficiency. It also supports individual users with everyday workplace tasks. On distribution, QwenWork is deeply
integrated with Alibaba Cloud and DingTalk’s ecosystem, providing a natural gateway to Alibaba's extensive enterprise user base
and established workplace workflows. Its reach is further extended through broad integration with third-party business workflows and
productivity platforms.
Qwen App
Qwen app, our flagship consumer-facing
AI application, is adding diverse value-added offerings to meet user demands. Qwen app deepens its integration with core services across
our ecosystem, including Taobao and Tmall, and Taobao Instant Commerce, to further expand the customer reach of our e-commerce business
and enable a wider range of agentic use cases. 250 million users have had their first AI-driven shopping experience through Qwen app’s
agentic features across an expanding range of e-commerce and other services since the launch of Qwen app. The integration also creates
a flywheel across our AI and e-commerce businesses: broader AI adoption unlocks new growth opportunities, while feedback from real-world
use cases enables us to enhance our models and user experiences.
Share Repurchases
During the quarter ended June 30,
2026, we repurchased a total of 13.4 million ordinary shares (equivalent to approximately 1.7 million ADSs) for a total of US$162 million.
These purchases were made in the U.S. market under our share repurchase program.
Capital Expenditures
During
the quarter ended June 30, 2026, capital expenditures were RMB67,678 million (US$9,975 million), an increase of 75% compared to
RMB38,676 million in the same quarter of 2025, reflecting our continued investments in AI infrastructure to meet strong and growing customer
demand. The significant year-over-year increase was due to several reasons, including fluctuations in procurement cycles, increase in
CPU-compute capacity driven by anticipated growing customer adoption of AI agents, and higher pricing of a broad range of chip components.

Cost of revenue –
Cost of revenue in the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was RMB166,096 million (US$24,480 million), or 61.8% of revenue, compared to RMB136,429
million, or 55.1% of revenue, in the same quarter of 2025. Without the effect of share-based compensation expense, cost of revenue as
a percentage of revenue would have increased from 54.9% in the quarter ended June 30, 2025 to 61.6% in the quarter ended June 30,
2026, primarily driven by the increase in proportion of cloud and technology businesses in our revenue mix, as well as the contra revenue
impact from the new business development program.
10
Product development expenses
– Product development expenses in the quarter ended June 30, 2026 were RMB22,529 million (US$3,320 million), or 8.4% of revenue,
compared to RMB15,001 million, or 6.1% of revenue, in the same quarter of 2025. Without the effect of share-based compensation expense,
product development expenses as a percentage of revenue would have increased from 5.5% in the quarter ended June 30, 2025 to 7.8%
in the quarter ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to investments in our technology infrastructure costs, as well as research and
development personnel.
Sales and marketing expenses
– Sales and marketing expenses in the quarter ended June 30, 2026 were RMB47,625 million (US$7,019 million), or 17.7% of revenue,
compared to RMB53,178 million, or 21.5% of revenue, in the same quarter of 2025. Without the effect of share-based compensation expense,
sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue would have decreased from 21.3% in the quarter ended June 30, 2025 to 17.6%
in the quarter ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to the impact of our new business development program, where relevant subsidies
previously recorded as sales and marketing expenses are now recorded as contra revenue item, as well as more efficient investment in Taobao
Instant Commerce.
General and administrative expenses
– General and administrative expenses in the quarter ended June 30, 2026 were RMB12,708 million (US$1,873 million), or 4.7%
of revenue, compared to RMB7,398 million, or 3.0% of revenue, in the same quarter of 2025. Without the effect of share-based compensation
expense, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue would have increased from 2.5% in the quarter ended June 30,
2025 to 4.3% in the quarter ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to a provision in relation to the fine imposed by the European Commission
under the Digital Services Act of EUR550 million recorded this year.
Share-based compensation expense
– Total share-based compensation expense included in the cost and expense items above in the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was
RMB3,304 million (US$487 million), compared to RMB3,545 million in the same quarter of 2025.

quarter of 2025, primarily due to the decrease in adjusted EBITA, impairment of goodwill and a provision in relation to the fine imposed
by the European Commission under the Digital Services Act of EUR550 million recorded this year.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITA
Adjusted EBITDA decreased 14% year-over-year to RMB39,143 million (US$5,769

same quarter of 2025, primarily attributable to the investment in technology, partly offset by the improved operating results in our Cloud
business, as well as enhanced operating efficiencies across various businesses. A reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA and

2026 was RMB9,004 million (US$1,327 million), a decrease of 48% compared to RMB17,376 million in the same quarter of 2025, primarily due

the equity method investees.
We record our share of results of all equity method investees one quarter
in arrears. The year-over-year share of profit of Ant Group remained stable, as the net increase in fair value gains was offset by the
increased investments in new growth initiatives and technologies.
Net income and Non-GAAP net income
Our net income in the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was RMB10,444
million (US$1,539 million), compared to RMB42,382 million in the same quarter of 2025, primarily attributable to the decrease in income
from operations, decrease in net gains from disposal of investments and the decrease in net gain from mark-to-market changes of our equity
investments.

expense, gains/losses of investments, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, and certain other items, non-GAAP net income in the
quarter ended June 30, 2026 was RMB20,715 million (US$3,053 million), a decrease of 38% compared to RMB33,510 million in the same

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 quarter ended
June 30, 2026 was RMB10,537 million (US$1,553 million), compared to RMB43,116 million in the same quarter of 2025, primarily attributable
to the decrease in income from operations, decrease in net gains from disposal of investments and the decrease in net gain from mark-to-market
changes of our equity investments.
Diluted earnings per ADS/share and non-GAAP diluted earnings
per ADS/share
Diluted earnings per ADS in the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was
RMB3.71 (US$0.55), compared to RMB17.98 in the same quarter of 2025. 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 quarter
ended June 30, 2026 was RMB8.52 (US$1.26), a decrease of 42% compared to RMB14.75 in the same quarter of 2025.
Diluted earnings per share in the quarter ended June 30, 2026
was RMB0.46 (US$0.07 or HK$0.53), compared to RMB2.25 in the same quarter of 2025. 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 quarter ended June 30, 2026 was RMB1.07 (US$0.16 or HK$1.23), a decrease of 42% compared to RMB1.84 in the same quarter of
2025.
13
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 June 30, 2026, 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 RMB474,505 million (US$69,933 million), compared to RMB520,824 million as of March 31,
2026. Other treasury investments consist of fixed deposits, certificates of deposit and marketable debt securities with original maturities
over one year for treasury purposes. The decrease of RMB46,319 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2026, was primarily due
to (i) free cash flow outflow of RMB44,670 million (US$6,584 million), (ii) effect of exchange rate changes of RMB5,853 million
(US$863 million) mainly due to the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against Renminbi, partly offset by (iii) net proceeds from bank
borrowings of RMB11,005 million (US$1,622 million).
Net cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow
During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, net cash provided by operating
activities was RMB22,945 million (US$3,382 million), an increase of 11% compared to RMB20,672 million in the same quarter of 2025. Free
cash flow, a non-GAAP measurement of liquidity, was an outflow of RMB44,670 million (US$6,584 million), compared to an outflow of RMB18,815
million in the same quarter of 2025. The decrease in free cash flow was mainly attributed to the increase in our cloud infrastructure
expenditure. 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 quarter ended June 30,
2026, net cash used in investing activities of RMB18,964 million (US$2,795 million) primarily reflected capital expenditures of
RMB67,678 million (US$9,975 million), partly offset by net decrease in short-term investments and other treasury investments by RMB50,452
million (US$7,436 million). The significant year-over-year increase in capital expenditures was due to several reasons, including fluctuations
in procurement cycles, increase in CPU-compute capacity driven by anticipated growing customer adoption of AI agents, and higher pricing
of a broad range of chip components.
Net cash provided by financing activities
During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, net cash provided by financing
activities of RMB9,469 million (US$1,395 million) primarily reflected cash provided by net proceeds from bank borrowings of RMB11,005
million (US$1,622 million).
Employees
As of June 30, 2026, we had a total of 132,165 employees, compared
to 131,462 as of March 31, 2026.

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENTS
This results announcement contains forward-looking
statements. These statements are made under the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,”
“anticipate,” “future,” “aim,” “estimate,” “intend,” “seek,” “plan,”
“believe,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “target,” “guidance,”
“is/are likely to” and similar statements. In addition, statements that are not historical facts, including statements about
Alibaba’s strategies and business and operational plans, Alibaba’s beliefs, expectations and guidance regarding the growth
of its business, its operating and financial results, return on investments, strategic investments and dispositions and share repurchases,
and the business and industry outlook and quotations from management in this results announcement, are or contain forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially
from those contained in any forward-looking statement, including but not limited to: Alibaba’s ability to compete, innovate and
maintain or grow its business; risks associated with sustained investments in Alibaba’s businesses; risks related to strategic transactions;
fluctuations in general economic and business conditions in China and globally; uncertainties arising from competition among countries
and geopolitical tensions, including national trade, investment, protectionist or other policies and export control, economic or trade
sanctions; changes to our shareholder return initiatives; and assumptions underlying or related to any of the foregoing. Further information
regarding these and other risks is included in Alibaba’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and announcements
on the website of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. All information provided in this results announcement is as of the date of
this results announcement and is based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable as of this date, and Alibaba does not undertake
any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required under applicable law.
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.
16
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,
in each case 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.

(1) Non-GAAP adjustments exclude the attributions to the noncontrolling interests for computing non-GAAP diluted earnings per share/ADS.
See the table above for items regarding the reconciliation of net income to non-GAAP net income (before taking into account the dilutive
impact and excluding the attributions to the noncontrolling interests).
(2) Each ADS represents eight ordinary shares.
(3) Diluted earnings per share is derived from dividing net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number
of outstanding ordinary shares, on a diluted basis. Diluted earnings per ADS is derived from the diluted earnings per share after adjusting
for the ordinary share-to-ADS ratio.
(4) Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is derived from dividing non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted
average number of outstanding ordinary shares, in each case for computing non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. Non-GAAP diluted earnings
per ADS is derived from the non-GAAP diluted earnings per share after adjusting for the ordinary share-to-ADS ratio.
