111, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2026 Unaudited Financial Results

SHANGHAI , Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- 111, Inc. ("111" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: YI ), a leading tech-enabled healthcare platform company committed to reshaping the value chain of healthcare industry by digitally empowering the upstream and downstream in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. Second Quarter 2026 Highlights Net revenue amounted to RMB2.3 billion (US$339.0 million), representing a 28.3% decrease from RMB3.2 billion in the prior-year quarter. This decline was primarily attributable to the Company's ongoing strategic transition toward a more asset-light and operationally efficient business model. As part of this initiative, the Company divested several underperforming subsidiaries last year, under which the Company can generate more service-based commission income and reduce operational and capital risks to a certain extent. Total marketplace (MP) service revenue increased by 18.2% year-over-year for the first half of 2026, demonstrating growth of the Company's marketplace service business and enhanced revenue quality. Through such strategic optimization, the Company continues to pursue further improvements in its profitability and liquidity profile. Net revenue of promotional products amounted to RMB60.7 million (US$8.9 million), representing 121% year-over-year growth, accompanied by an increase of 120% in gross profit. To further diversify the portfolio of such products, the Company has partnered with a growing number of pharmaceutical manufacturers to secure distribution rights for products targeting small and medium-sized chain pharmacies. Among such products, Levofloxacin Tablets (Cravit ® ) from JNOVA Pharmaceutical (Beijing) Co., Ltd., has already become the flagship offering, whose quarterly sales volume grew from 364,000 boxes to 1,041,000 boxes year-over-year, while the quarterly revenue posted a 157% increase, reaching RMB28.1 million. In addition, other priority products with secured distribution rights like Rivaroxaban Tablets (Pusitong ® ) from Qilu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Xinkeshu Tablets from Shandong Wohua Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. also delivered solid sales performance this quarter, with each reaching 60,000 boxes. These performances underscore the Company's marketing expertise and has created strong growth momentum for both upstream suppliers and downstream partners. Total operating expenses amounted to RMB155.5 million (US$22.9 million), representing a 16.1% decrease compared to RMB185.3 million in the prior-year quarter. Notably, ongoing investment in and adoption of AI agents have made workforce streamlining possible. As part of organizational initiatives to enhance cost-efficiency, the Company incurred substantial severance costs in the quarter in connection with workforce streamlining primarily within back-end support functions. Excluding the share-based compensation expenses and severance costs, total operating expenses accounted for 4.2% of total GMV this quarter as compared to 4.5% in the prior-year quarter. Fulfillment expenses amounted to RMB63.6 million (US$9.4 million), representing a decrease of 29.5% from RMB90.2 million in the prior-year quarter, outpacing the revenue decline. As a percentage of net revenue, fulfillment expenses improved to 2.76%, compared with 2.81% in the prior-year quarter, reflecting continued enhancement in operational efficiency and disciplined cost management.
