Business Review and Outlook

BUSINESS OUTLOOK AND REVIEW

In 2025, the Chinese government continued to promote the “Healthy China 2030 (健康中國2030)” strategy and the 14th Five-Year Plan, introducing a number of supporting policies to encourage the digital and intelligent transformation of the outside-of-hospital pharmaceutical and healthcare industry. The promulgation of policies such as the “Guideline to Advance High-quality Development of Service Consumption(《關於促進服務消費高質量發展的意見》)” has clarified the functional positioning of retail pharmacies in health promotion, nutrition and health care. Consumers’ demand for high-quality, personalised pharmaceutical products and services in chronic disease management, health and beauty management continued to increase, creating new growth opportunities for the industry. In addition, policies are driving the allocation of high-quality medical resources to primary care, making the primary healthcare market a new growth area for the outside-of-hospital pharmaceutical and healthcare industry. Meanwhile, the strengthening of the overall medical insurance policy and the enhanced supervision of the retail market are accelerating industry reform. Against this backdrop, the Company has closely followed the policy guidance, increased investment in technological innovation, and deepened digital transformation. By continuously leveraging digital and intelligent procurement to reduce costs and increase efficiency, accelerating digital and intelligent logistics, and iteratively optimising digital and intelligent marketing, the Company has driven comprehensive business upgrades and built a more complete service ecosystem for outside-of-hospital pharmaceutical and healthcare.

During the Reporting Period, although we were challenged by the slowdown in the overall growth of the pharmaceutical retail market, our business achieved steady growth. We have consistently enhanced user experience, strengthened user loyalty and driven business growth by accurately understanding user needs, building a comprehensive service ecosystem and continuously optimising through digital empowerment. During the Reporting Period, we had an average number of monthly active buyers (“MAB”) of 453,000, representing a year-on-year increase of 6.5%. The average number of monthly paying buyers (“MPB”) reached 426,000, representing a year-on-year increase of 7.6%. Our paying ratio, i.e. the proportion of average number of MPB to average number of MAB, reached 94.0%, and the average number of orders per paying buyer per month was around 29.2.

Business Review and Outlook

ONLINE MARKETPLACE

As a leading digital service platform for the outside-of-hospital pharmaceutical industry in China, we continued to strengthen the construction of our digital capabilities, optimise user experience, and solidify the platform's service offerings, further improving users' satisfaction and market competitiveness.

During the Reporting Period, we comprehensively improved the diversity of products on our platform to cover a wider range of customer needs and scenarios. Through big data analysis and users' needs insight, our platform meticulously curated product selections, optimised and expanded categories to ensure that listed products are aligned with market demands. During the Reporting Period, the average monthly SKUs on the platform continued to increase to approximately 4,000,000, meeting the diverse needs of users to a very large extent. In response to the consumption upgrading trend of TCM decoction pieces, our platform has built a comprehensive digital ecosystem spanning the entire process from field breeding to downstream buyers delivery by optimising and promoting Jinfang standards, strengthening user education and coverage, and utilising digital technology innovation. Meanwhile, the Online Marketplace rigorously adheres to stringent quality control standards for TCM decoction pieces, advancing the industry transformation from "experience-based" to "data-driven". YSB expanded its footprint in the production regions for medicinal materials to ensure quality control of raw materials from source. Simultaneously, leveraging our established Jinfang standards, we encouraged those TCM decoction pieces merchants on YSB's platform to extend their industrial chains to TCM production regions, further optimising the industrial chain traceability system and enhancing the quality control during the entire process of TCM production. During the Reporting Period, we provided 125,000 SKUs, representing a year-on-year increase of 22.5% and sold to downstream buyers over 18,000 tons of TCM decoction pieces, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 42.6%.

At the same time, we are always committed to building a more prosperous and diverse user ecosystem. On one hand, we have successfully attracted a large number of high-quality third-party sellers to join the platform through operational strategy support, technical empowerment and ecological co-construction, and helped them achieve business growth through a complete service system. On the other hand, we have enhanced users' experience across all dimensions by optimising platform functions and conducting diverse marketing activities. The influence of the platform among downstream user groups continues to rise, with user activity and loyalty significantly increased.

We charge upstream sellers a commission, which is based on a certain percentage of their sales on our Online Marketplace. During the Reporting Period, the average Online Marketplace commission rate we charged recorded a stable increase of approximately 3.3% as compared to the same period of last year. In return, our Online Marketplace provides subsidies in the form of coupon to our downstream buyers. Without compromising platform retention and transaction level, our Online Marketplace subsidy ratio was 0.5% for the first half of 2025, further lower than 0.6% for the same period of 2024.

Business Review and Outlook

GENERAL SELF-OPERATION BUSINESS

During the Reporting Period, we focused on comprehensive advancement in the four core dimensions of “more, quicker, better, and economical”, continuously enhancing the operating capabilities of our Self-operation Business and achieving steady development in this segment. The business is conducted through our self-operated online digital stores, aiming at providing convenient, efficient and high-quality medical and health services to downstream users.

In the dimension of “more”, we further refined the overall category layout of our Self-operation Business during the Reporting Period. Based on the transaction history on our Online Marketplace and underpinned by our big data analysis of buyers’ demand and transaction preference, we are able to make procurement decisions based on downstream demand, select SKUs with higher frequencies of purchase and better quality, and exercise a higher level of quality control over products on our own. We not only further introduced treatment drugs for various common diseases, but also enriched related categories such as medical devices and tonics to meet the diversified health procurement needs of downstream users. By establishing partnerships with more high-quality suppliers, we have continuously expanded our product categories, offering users a broader selection. During the Reporting Period, our Self-operation Business provided an average monthly SKUs of 480,000 to downstream buyers, representing an increase of 58,000 during the Reporting Period.

“Quicker” is reflected in the continuous optimisation of our smart supply chain system during the Reporting Period. We have established efficient procurement, warehousing and logistics and distribution systems to achieve rapid performance in relation to medical and health products. As the intra-city delivery business became increasingly mature, we have launched intra-city delivery services in certain cities where our main warehouses are located and in surrounding cities. During the Reporting Period, by refining delivery stations down to the street level, we have significantly improved delivery efficiency. Additionally, by optimising routes and enhancing ride-hailing matching model, we improved fleet utilisation efficiency. The per-unit fulfilment costs of our self-operation warehouses for intra-city (equal to the sum of the total delivery charges per delivery shift/the number of users in a single delivery shift) has dropped by 18.9%. In terms of delivery efficiency, the proportion of orders were delivered within only half a day from placement of orders to delivery has increased from 67.7% for the first half of 2024 to 70.0% for the first half of 2025. Such fast and fabulous procurement experience significantly increased the variety and frequency of purchases from our downstream buyers.

“Better” is not only the bottom line of quality that we always adhere to, but also our ceaseless pursuit in service. Starting from the source of pharmaceutical and health product procurement, we rigorously control quality by partnering with suppliers that have comprehensive qualifications and good reputation. During the Reporting Period, we further upgraded our supplier service platform and successfully achieved data interaction with the internal systems of the Company, ensuring real-time updates and sharing of key data such as supplier information, order information, and order status. The platform promoted the flow and sharing of information among various nodes in the supply chain, and improved the response speed and flexibility of the overall supply chain. Meanwhile, we have optimised the service efficiency of the flow management system and achieved full traceability of pharmaceutical and healthcare product sales channels to ensure their safety and compliance. Thanks to this stringent control of quality, our product return rate continued to decline during the Reporting Period, representing a decrease from 0.5% for the same period of last year to 0.4%.

INTERIM REPORT 2025


Business Review and Outlook

"Economical" is an important manifestation of the value we create for users. During the Reporting Period, we further strengthened the direct supply model from manufacturers. By purchasing directly with manufacturers, we continued to optimise procurement channels and reduce operating costs, enabling us to provide pharmaceutical and healthcare products to downstream users at more competitive prices. During the Reporting Period, we carried out official group cooperation with leading pharmaceutical companies such as CR Sanjiu (華潤三九), Huahai Pharmaceutical (華海藥業), and Hengrui Pharmaceuticals to shorten the supply chain from pharmaceutical manufacturers directly to the extensive outside-of-hospital market. Through cooperation with CR Sanjiu, we provided users with more cost-effective and channel-focused exclusive products. By deepening our partnership with Qilu Pharmaceutical (齊魯製藥), we have introduced more high-quality medications from Qilu Pharmaceutical, opening up a high-efficiency and cost-effective channel from pharmaceutical companies to end users. In addition, we have also launched a series of promotional activities such as free shipping for single items and subsidies from pharmaceutical companies, and a membership system, allowing downstream users to enjoy premium services at a more affordable price.

TARGETED PRODUCT LAUNCH BUSINESS

Leveraging years of deep experience and keen insight in both Online Marketplace and General Self-operation Business, we are able to accurately identify products with broad market demand prospects. Based on such insight, on one hand, we actively sought to establish in-depth cooperation with pharmaceutical companies, aiming to promote their products customised for downstream needs to a broader market, thereby turning potential market opportunities into sales performance. On the other hand, leveraging the brand influence and channel advantages we have built, we strategically promoted the expansion of our own brand products, and committed to launching our own brand products with high-quality and diverse categories that closely meet the market demand in order to meet the diversified needs of a wider range of downstream users. With the accelerated coverage of the products under our own brand in the outside-of-hospital pharmaceutical market, we significantly enhanced our brand influence, strengthened our market competitiveness and further expanded our market share. Through this dual-drive approach, we not only created value for our partners, but also provided downstream buyers with higher quality and more diverse pharmaceutical and health product options, continuously driving the Company's business growth. During the Reporting Period, the transaction amounts of our Targeted Product Launch Business totaled to RMB1,080 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 115.6%.

During the Reporting Period, we focused the strategic layout of our Targeted Product Launch Business on expanding the coverage of products under our own brands in downstream pharmacies and primary healthcare institutions, driving the deep penetration of our brand influence. In terms of the expansion of our own brands, by upholding quality and safety and based on the actual needs of downstream pharmacies and primary healthcare institutions, we are committed to continuously identifying products with the potential to become channel bestsellers and comprehensively enhancing the product coverage of our own brands and use these measures as the key to differentiating ourselves from competition and enhancing profitability. Meanwhile, we utilise digital marketing to promote the brand concept and product advantages of our own brands through channels such as targeted advertising, social media platforms, and collaboration with benchmark offline image stores.

During the Reporting Period, the transaction amounts of our own brands amounted to RMB852 million, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 473.4%. Among which, the key single product "Leyaoshi Huoxiang Zhengqi Kou Fu Ye (樂藥師霍香正氣口服液)" launched in 2024 made substantial breakthroughs in covering primary healthcare terminals, with primary healthcare institutions contributed over 40% of its total sales. In addition, YSB launched its second key single product "Leyaoshi Changyanning Kou Fu Ye (樂藥師腸炎寧口服液)" in the first half of 2025. The product, with an exclusive approval, was listed in over 30,000 independent pharmacies and primary healthcare institutions within two months after its launch.

OTHER BUSINESSES

ClouMinihouse (光譜小屋)

In the context of the digital revolution transforming the healthcare industry, we have continued to strive to improve the diagnosis and treatment capability of primary care doctors, assist them in expanding their service offerings, and enhance their comprehensive service capabilities. During the Reporting Period, we launched comprehensive solutions for "ClouMinihouse" primary smart healthcare system, which integrated "FutureClou" series products, the advanced point-of-care testing and monitoring devices, "Cloud Consultation SaaS (光譜雲診SaaS)", a digital clinic management system, and "ClouWiseDoctor", a smart AI doctors-aid system. By focusing on equipment upgrades, management efficiency improvements, as well as diagnosis and treatment empowerment, we aim to comprehensively improve the operational standards of primary healthcare institutions and the professional skills of primary care doctors.

Leveraging our platform's vast user base and extensive market data, we have accurately identified potential demands within common and critical application scenarios in primary healthcare, such as disease prevention, acute disease treatment, chronic disease rehabilitation, severe disease screening, as well as epidemic monitoring and treatment. Based on these precise insights, we launched three "FutureClou" series point-of-care testing devices in August 2024, namely Clou Immuno Cube (光譜免疫小方盒), Clou Chronic Disease Analyzer (光譜慢病檢測儀), and Clou Micro Hematology Analyzer (光譜微型血球儀). These devices feature immediate testing, multi-parameter analysis, compact size, and ease of operation, significantly enhancing the efficiency of primary healthcare testing and quickly gaining market recognition. As of 30 June 2025, these three devices covered more than 18,000 end users with sales exceeding 23,000 units. The AI large models integrated with these devices not only enable real-time analysis of data including blood lipids, uric acid, C-reactive protein, HbA1c and influenza A/B, pneumonia, and respiratory syncytial virus, but also generate trend analysis profiles by synthesising patients' historical test records. This capability provides precise clinical recommendations, empowering primary care doctors to dynamically evaluate disease management efficacy. The integration of hardware with AI provides primary care doctors with more comprehensive and accurate diagnostic information and facilitate their precise prescribed medication use, thereby improving the quality and effectiveness of primary healthcare services and safeguarding the health of general primary patients.

We continued to optimise and upgrade the "Cloud Consultation" SaaS service for primary healthcare institutions. Focusing on intelligence and convenience, the AI-powered services automatically consolidated patients' electronic medical records, historical medication data, and real-time testing data into dynamic health profiles. When doctors prescribe medications, the AI engine instantly performs drug interaction screening, dosage rationality validation and cross-referencing of allergy history, then recommends corresponding western medicine or TCM prescription, which drastically reduces the time spent on traditional manual handwritten records or paper-based documentation searches, significantly boosting efficiency for primary care doctors. As of 30 June 2025, "Cloud Consultation" had covered over 1,500 clinics. Furthermore, we had completed the connection with the medical insurance system in 94 cities, enabling local patients to settle their payments with medical insurance funds via this system. The integration of hardware, software and AI has unleashed enormous potential, which enabled YSB to establish a service loop covering the entire supply chain of "testing – diagnosis – treatment – management", empowering primary healthcare institutions to upgrade their diagnosis and treatment capability.

Other SaaS solutions

During the Reporting Period, we always focused on enhancing operational efficiency of the upstream and downstream participants in the outside-of-hospital pharmaceutical industry chain, and continued to optimise the synergy effect of the outside-of-hospital pharmaceutical ecosystem through digital empowerment and innovative services.

We constantly upgraded the "CloudComm (雲商通)" SaaS service for upstream sellers to digitally upgrade their inventory management, order processing, market analysis, etc., and improved operational efficiency and market responsiveness. Supported by accurate data insights and smart supply chain, we helped our upstream partners reduce their operating costs and expand market coverage. As of 30 June 2025, we provided the service to over 9,000 sellers.

We continued to refine our "ePalm" SaaS service for downstream buyers, providing pharmacies and primary healthcare institutions with one-stop purchasing, inventory management, sales analysis and other tools to achieve efficient operations and accurate decision-making. Through in-depth application of digital tools, we empowered downstream users to improve operational efficiency and optimise service quality. As of 30 June 2025, ePalm provided the service to approximately 66,000 buyers and assisted buyers from 243 cities in connecting with medical insurance departments, enabling local pharmacies to offer medical insurance settlement service to patients.

YSB eLEARN

During the Reporting Period, we continued to make efforts in improving the service capability of pharmacists to better meet the needs of end customers. Since 2015, we had innovatively introduced mobile pharmaceutical training classrooms, aiming to strengthen the professional knowledge and practical skills of pharmacists through systematic training. We offer comprehensive online training sessions covering pharmaceutical theory, clinical practice and regulation knowledge to help prospective pharmacists prepare for the Pharmacist Licensure Examination efficiently. Meanwhile, we actively facilitated the communication among pharmaceutical companies and pharmacists, and regularly invited well-known pharmaceutical companies to hold online introductory sessions to help pharmacists gain an in-depth understanding of the latest pharmaceuticals information, clinical application and market dynamics, which in turn enhances their professional judgment and services in practice. As of 30 June 2025, we provided online trainings to approximately 314,000 pharmacists and prospective pharmacists.


Business Review and Outlook

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

Our self-developed smart supply chain management system is an integral key player in the continuous expansion of business scale. Relying on advanced algorithm technology and the profound insights accumulated from extensive transacting on our Self-operation Business and Online Marketplace, we have successfully realised the in-depth integration and comprehensive consolidation of the front and back ends of the supply chain, which covers the whole process of procurement, warehousing and delivery, driving the intelligent upgrading and substantial enhancement of the efficiency throughout the supply chain system. During the Reporting Period, we were able to guarantee an order can be processed and completed for delivery with approximately 3 hours on average, much faster than the industry level. During the Reporting Period, by leveraging on smart supply chain management, we maintained payable turnover days at around 67.7 days, inventory turnover days at around 32.2 days and receivable turnover days at around 1.8 days. Accordingly, our cash conversion cycle was around -33.8 days, and the operating cash flow remained net inflow in the long run. The quick turnover business model not only significantly improves our cash management efficiency, but also brings considerable idle cash to the platform, which greatly improves our liquidity and provides a solid guarantee for us to safely and quickly scale up our business. Meanwhile, the availability of idle cash also brings us extra revenue streams in addition to higher gross profit, further improving the overall profitability and driving the sustainable development of our business.

In terms of payment, our platform offers innovative supply chain financial services to downstream buyers. We use advanced digital technology to efficiently integrate business, logistics, information flow and capital, forming a full-chain financial service ecosystem linking up upstream and downstream enterprises. With the support of our platform, third-party financial institutions offer tailor-made order financing products to downstream users, which ensures that loan funds are utilised according to their specific purposes and used only for the procurement on our platform, thereby enhancing the funds utilisation of downstream users and further promoting the value co-creation in the supply chain. During the Reporting Period, the number of downstream active users for order financing products was over 10,500; the cumulative lending amount was approximately RMB4,402 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 31.0%, of which the cumulative lending amount of order financing products from downstream chain pharmacy buyers was approximately RMB3,522 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 34.2%. The supply chain financial business significantly relieved the pressure on capital turnover of downstream users by optimising their capital flow management, while boosting the willingness of chain pharmacies in purchasing on our platform. During the Reporting Period, the number of MPB from chain headquarters was approximately 4,900, representing approximately 73.0% of the total number of chain headquarters nationwide.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

Through years of dedication in the outside-of-hospital pharmaceutical sector, we have accumulated extensive industry experience and developed precise market insights, efficient resource deployment and excellent customer service capabilities. Based on such core strengths, we have tailored our business development strategies in line with our own development and market needs. We have been closely monitoring the immense potential and opportunities in the market, while keeping track on regulatory policy changes to continuously optimise our strategic layout, in order to comply with the dual guidance of policy and market. This flexible and forward-looking strategy not only enables us to respond quickly to market changes, but also serves as a strong support for us to consistently expand our market share and consolidate our leading position in the industry. As of 30 June 2025, save for Yikuai Pharmaceutical, our business development team consisted of around 2,500 members, and we saw a further increase in staff efficiency of this team as compared to the same period of last year. Each member can manage approximately over 200 pharmacies on average, representing an increase of over 50 pharmacies as compared to the same period of last year. This development strategy is extremely effective. As of 30 June 2025, we covered 353,000 primary healthcare institution users, representing an increase of over 24,000 users as compared to the number of such users as of 31 December 2024. Moreover, our registered buyers covered 98.9% of counties and 91.2% of towns in China.

Business Review and Outlook

PUBLIC WELFARE AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

We have always incorporated the concept of sustainable development into our corporate DNA, and been active in fulfilling corporate social responsibility and committed to creating long-term value for society. For giving back to society with concrete actions, we established Sudao Technology Welfare Association (迪道科技公益社團) to join hands with various departments in making continuous endeavours in various fields including educational welfare and social welfare.

In terms of educational welfare, we initiated a book donation activity where staff from all departments of the Company were invited to deliver warmth through Mutian Charity (幕天公益) by sending books to children from villages across the country. We participated in the public welfare project of "One Kilogram Box (一公斤盒子)" organised by Liepin to provide diverse teaching toolkits to the schools and students in need. We also made donations to the Green & Shine Foundation (桂馨基金會) on a quarterly basis to support the improvement of China's rural education environment, helping educational welfare and improving the educational conditions for rural teachers and students.

In terms of public welfare, we provided medical supplies including disinfectant supplies and heat-prevention medicines to flood-hit areas such as Sangzhi, Huaji, and Rongjiang, helping the local people affected by floods. We join hands with our partners to launch public welfare promotional activities to help farmers as our practical measures to contribute to rural revitalization. We also provide "Leyaoshi Huoxiang Zhengqi Kou Fu Ye" and refreshing drinks to social workers who work under high temperature to safeguard their health.

OUTLOOK

As a leader in the digital ecosystem construction of the outside-of-hospital pharmaceutical industry, we will navigate amidst the waves of digital transformation of outside-of-hospital pharmaceutical by virtue of our profound industry accumulation as well as our outstanding technological innovation capability. We will further deepen the synergistic cooperation with all participants in the industry chain, comprehensively improve the operational efficiency of all participants in the industry chain, and promote digital and intelligent upgrading in the outside-of-hospital pharmaceutical industry, with a view to making the pharmaceutical resources accessible to all and realising the sustainable development of the industry ecosystem.

In terms of Online Marketplace, we will shoulder the responsibility of promoting the development of the industry and fostering the growth of our partners, aiming to build a more comprehensive and efficient digital operation system for upstream sellers. We will empower third-party sellers from all aspects, from accurate market trend insights, efficient inventory management to customised marketing and promotional strategy development, to support them in achieving solid growth in a highly competitive market. In addition, we will continuously strive to optimise our product supply system, enrich product categories and introduce more quality and innovative pharmaceutical products and health services to meet user needs in a one-stop manner. In terms of TCM decoction pieces, a key sector for expansion, we will actively strengthen in-depth strategic cooperation with leading enterprises in production areas to jointly deliver authentic medicinal decoction pieces with ultimate cost-effective prices. With respect to quality control, we adhere to the principle of "authenticity + superiority over ordinary goods (保真+優於統貨)", and collaborate with third-party sellers to launch Jinfang standards, collectively creating a system of Jinfang graded products, and constructing a comprehensive product gradient.

INTERIM REPORT 2025 YSB INC.


Business Review and Outlook

In terms of General Self-operation Business, we are committed to further maximising the advantages of our smart supply chain management system, continuously optimising our warehousing network and logistics distribution system, in order to enhance overall operational efficiency and user experience. We will continue to strengthen collaboration with key leading pharmaceutical enterprises to enrich product matrix and enhance cooperation results. Meanwhile, we will gradually carry out the piloting of local self-operation models to create self-operation exclusive areas and half-day speedy delivery experience for local downstream users so as to continuously improve user satisfaction.

In terms of the Targeted Product Launch Business, we will establish a stronger upstream cooperation ecosystem through in-depth cooperation with upstream pharmaceutical enterprises and suppliers to create the distinctive advantages of the Targeted Product Launch Business for a win-win situation for all parties concerned. At the same time, we will also keep on expanding the product mix of our own brand and facilitating brand growth. We build a brand benchmark by focusing on market demand to create key single products under our Targeted Product Launch Business with high growth potential; promote scale sales of best-selling products by developing cost-effective best-selling products; and forge differentiated competitive edges by launching quality and high value-added exclusive products. We will progressively build a product matrix covering multiple categories and scenarios, thereby continuously expanding the footprint and influence of our own brands.

In terms of other businesses, taking technology investment as the core driving force, we will promote full release of the potential of digitalisation and AI technology application through the in-depth integration of advanced AI capabilities with YSB's SaaS product matrix, further optimising supply chain management, enhancing the operational efficiency of pharmacies and clinics, and promoting primary smart healthcare services, thereby creating a smarter, more efficient and user-friendly business ecosystem. Meanwhile, in order to accelerate the improvement in primary medical testing level, we will continue to upgrade "FutureClou" series diagnostic-aid devices according to actual primary healthcare needs. By constantly establishing the testing projects and device iterative feedback mechanism, we will optimise testing projects and device functions, and continue to enrich testing projects in different diagnosis and treatment scenarios.

In the longer term, we will maintain a strategic vision and prudent attitude to actively promote industry chain investments and merger and acquisition deployment in order to bring new momentum to the Company's long-term development, achieve strategic upgrading towards ecologisation and diversification, and build a comprehensive and synergistic pharmaceutical and healthcare industrial ecosystem.

Management Discussion and Analysis

REVENUE

For the six months ended 30 June 2025, the Group recorded a revenue of RMB9,842.6 million, representing an increase of 11.7% as compared with RMB8,814.0 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024. The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to: (i) the continued steady development of the Self-operation Business during the Reporting Period; and (ii) our acquisition has injected new impetus into the Group’s revenue growth.

The Group’s revenue from the Self-operation Business increased by 12.5% from RMB8,344.8 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB9,389.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025, primarily attributable to: (i) enlarged buyer base and the continuous optimization of buyers’ experience such as logistics and customer services; (ii) the number of MPB of our Self-operation Business recorded a continuous and stable increase as compared with the same period of last year; and (iii) our acquisition has injected new impetus into the Group’s revenue growth.

The Group’s revenue from the Online Marketplace decreased slightly from RMB440.5 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB436.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025, primarily attributable to the downturn in the pharmaceutical retail market, which exerted a relatively significant impact on the industry and, accordingly, affected third-party sellers. During the Reporting Period, the commission rate applied to third-party sellers remained stable.

The Group’s revenue from the other businesses decreased from RMB28.6 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB17.0 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025, mainly attributable to the adjustment of the operation/service model of ClouDiagnos.

COST OF SALES

The Group’s cost of sales increased by 10.2% from RMB7,932.2 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB8,738.1 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025, primarily due to the increase in sales of our Self-operation Business.

The cost of sales of the Group’s Self-operation Business increased by 10.4% from RMB7,850.1 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB8,666.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025. The increase of the cost of sales for the six months ended 30 June 2025 was primarily due to the growth of purchase demand from buyers, as a result of which we increased the procurement of pharmaceutical products accordingly.

The cost of sales of the Group’s Online Marketplace increased by 2.3% from RMB69.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB71.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025, mainly due to the expansion of transaction volume on our platform.

The cost of sales of the Group’s other businesses decreased by 96.5% from RMB12.5 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB0.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025, mainly due to the decrease in costs in relation to ClouDiagnos.

Management Discussion and Analysis

GROSS PROFIT AND GROSS PROFIT MARGIN

As a result of the foregoing, the Group's gross profit increased significantly by 25.3% from RMB881.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB1,104.5 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025. The Group's gross profit margin increased from 10.0% for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to 11.2% for the six months ended 30 June 2025, mainly due to the downstream demand for the Group's own-branded products has remained strong, and the scale of this high-gross-margin business has continued to expand, thereby continuously improving the Group's gross profit margin.

The gross profit margin for the Group's Self-operation Business increased from 5.9% for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to 7.7% for the six months ended 30 June 2025, which was primarily due to the implementation of the "Go Upstream" (向上走) strategy by gradually increasing the percentage of our own brand in our product pipeline, which has much higher gross margin than other products.

The gross profit margin for the Group's Online Marketplace decreased slightly from 84.2% for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to 83.7% for the six months ended 30 June 2025, which was primarily due to: (i) with the expansion of our Self-operation Business, our Online Marketplace generated increased commissions from our own stores on the platform, which were eliminated in consolidated reporting; and (ii) the transaction processing fees related to our own stores' transactions on the platform were recorded as cost of sales for this segment.

The gross profit margin for the Group's other businesses increased from 56.4% for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to 97.5% for the six months ended 30 June 2025, mainly due to the year-on-year growth of revenue of our SaaS solution, which has a higher gross profit margin, and the corresponding increase of its proportion of revenue.

SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSES

The Group's selling and marketing expenses increased by 16.9% from RMB707.5 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB826.9 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025, mainly due to: (i) our acquisition of Yikuai Pharmaceutical, which has led to an increase in overall expenses; and (ii) we continued to expand our business operations. Fulfillment expenses increased slightly by 6.6% from RMB155.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB166.0 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025, among which logistics expenses increased from RMB117.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB126.5 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025. Although the Group's selling and marketing expenses had increased during the Reporting Period, due to a greater revenue growth, the selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of the Group's revenue remained largely stable.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

The Group's general and administrative expenses increased by 12.0% from RMB169.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB190.1 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025, mainly due to our acquisition of Yikuai Pharmaceutical, which has led to an increase in overall expenses. Although the Group's general and administrative expenses had increased during the Reporting Period, such expenses remained stable as a percentage of the Group's revenue.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

The Group's research and development expenses increased by 6.3% from RMB45.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB48.6 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025, primarily attributable to an increased employee headcount resulting from the acquisition of Yikuai Pharmaceutical, thereby increasing salaries and welfare benefits.

Management Discussion and Analysis

OTHER INCOME

The Group's other income decreased from RMB49.1 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB36.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to reductions in bank interest income due to the decline in the bank interest rate and government grants.

OTHER GAINS/LOSSES (NET)

The Group recorded net other gains of RMB9.6 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 as compared to net other losses of RMB0.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025. This change was primarily due to the loss from fair value changes of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

FINANCE COSTS

The Group's finance costs increased slightly from RMB5.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB6.1 million for the corresponding period in 2025 due to the increase in interest expense on discounted note receivables and lease liabilities.

PROFIT FOR THE PERIOD

As a result of the foregoing, the Group's profit for the period amounted to RMB74.0 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025, which is nearly six times as compared with RMB13.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024.

NON-IFRS MEASURE

In evaluating our business, we consider and use (i) Adjusted Net Profit; and (ii) Adjusted Net Profit margin as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. The presentation of these non-IFRS financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as substitutes for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS. We define Adjusted Net Profit as profit for the period adding back (i) equity-settled share-based payment expenses; and (ii) acquisition-related expenses. We define Adjusted Net Profit margin as adjusted net profit divided by revenue. We present these non-IFRS financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. Accordingly, we believe that the use of these non-IFRS financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and Board. These non-IFRS financial measures are not defined under IFRS and are not presented in accordance with IFRS. These non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool. Further, these non-IFRS measures may differ from the non-IFRS information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore its comparability may be limited. These non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to profit/loss or any other measure of performance. Investors are encouraged to review our historical non-IFRS financial measures in light of the most directly comparable IFRS measures, as shown below. The non-IFRS financial measures presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measure presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting the usefulness of such measures when analysing our data comparatively. We encourage you to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

YSB INC.
INTERIM REPORT 2025


Management Discussion and Analysis

The Adjusted Net Profit, which is unaudited, represents profit for the period adding back (i) equity-settled share-based payment expenses; and (ii) acquisition-related expenses. The Adjusted Net Profit of the Group increased significantly from RMB91.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to RMB121.8 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025, representing a year-on-year growth of 33.2%.

The following table reconciles our Adjusted Net Profit from the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS (profit for the period).

Six months ended 30 June
2025
(RMB'000)
(unaudited) 2024
(RMB'000)

Profit for the period 73,998 13,354
Add back:

Acquisition-related expenses 12,976
Adjusted Net Profit, a non-IFRS measure 121,764 91,411
Adjusted Net Profit margin, a non-IFRS measure 1.2% 1.0%

Adjusted Net Profit is not a measure of performance under IFRS. The use of the Adjusted Net Profit has material limitations as an analytical tool, as it does not include all items that impact our loss for the relevant period.

LIQUIDITY AND SOURCE OF FUNDING AND BORROWING

The Group financed its operating and investing activities mainly through internally generated cash flows and proceeds from the Global Offering. Our cash and cash equivalents are represented by cash and bank balances and time deposits with original maturity of three months or less.

As of 30 June 2025, the Group’s cash and cash equivalents increased by 6.2% from RMB1,041.2 million as at 31 December 2024 to RMB1,105.9 million. The increase of cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended 30 June 2025 primarily resulted from a higher turnover efficiency of working capital.

INTERIM REPORT 2025 YSB INC. 17


Management Discussion and Analysis

The following table sets forth our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Six months ended 30 June
2025
(RMB'000)
(unaudited) 2024
(RMB'000)
(unaudited)
Net cash generated from operating activities 256,660 418,880
Net cash (used in)/generated from investing activities (114,626) 299,301
Net cash used in financing activities (76,557) (60,476)
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents 65,477 657,705
Cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of the period 1,041,228 745,693
Effect of foreign exchange rate changes (798) 1,469
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period 1,105,907 1,404,867

The Group adopts a prudent financial management approach for its cash management policy to ensure that the Group's liquidity structure, comprising assets, liabilities and other commitments, is able to always meet its capital requirements. Going forward, we believe our liquidity requirements will be satisfied by using funds from a combination of cash generated from operating activities, external borrowings, net proceeds from the Global Offering and other funds raised from the capital markets from time to time.

NET CASH GENERATED FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES

For the six months ended 30 June 2025, net cash generated from operating activities was RMB256.7 million, mainly attributable to our profit before tax of RMB68.9 million for the period, as adjusted by (i) non-cash and non-operating items, which primarily comprised share-based payment expenses of RMB34.8 million, and (ii) changes in working capital, which was mainly due to the increase of RMB258.2 million in trade and other payables but offset by the increase in inventories of RMB199.2 million.

NET CASH USED IN INVESTING ACTIVITIES

For the six months ended 30 June 2025, net cash used in investing activities was RMB114.6 million. It was mainly due to the net outflow of RMB163.0 million in the placement of time deposits during the Reporting Period.

NET CASH USED IN FINANCING ACTIVITIES

For the six months ended 30 June 2025, net cash used in financing activities was RMB76.6 million, which was mainly attributable to (i) share repurchase; and (ii) dividends paid.

SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS

The Group did not make or hold any significant investments (including any investment in an investee company with a value of 5% or more of the Group's total assets as at 30 June 2025) during the six months ended 30 June 2025.

MATERIAL ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS

The Group did not have any material acquisitions or disposals of subsidiaries, consolidated affiliated entities or associated companies during the six months ended 30 June 2025.

The Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy in respect of foreign currency transactions, assets and liabilities. The Group will monitor its foreign currency exposure and foreign exchange risk management strategies closely and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arises to minimise its foreign exchange risk.

The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 27 August 2018 as an exempted company with limited liability, and the Shares of the Company were listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange on the Listing Date.

During the Reporting Period, the Company has adopted and complied with all applicable code provisions of the CG Code except for the deviation as set out below.

Code provision C.2.1 of the CG Code recommends, but does not require, that the roles of chairperson and chief executive to be separate and not to be performed by the same person. Our Company deviates from this provision as Mr. Buzhen Zhang performs both the roles of chairman of our Board and the chief executive officer of our Company. Mr. Zhang is the founder of the Company and a substantial shareholder, and has extensive experience in the business operations and management of our Group. Our Board believes that vesting the roles of both chairman and chief executive officer to Mr. Zhang has the benefit of ensuring consistent leadership within our Group and enables more effective and efficient overall strategic planning. This structure will enable our Company to make and implement decisions promptly and effectively. Our Board considers that the balance of power and authority will not be impaired due to this arrangement. In addition, all major decisions are made in consultation with members of our Board, including the relevant board committees, and our three independent non-executive Directors. Our Board will reassess the division of the roles of chairman and the chief executive officer from time-to-time, and may recommend dividing the two roles between different people in the future, taking into account the circumstances of our Group as a whole.

Code provision C.3.2 of the CG Code recommends, but does not require, that the functions reserved to the board and those delegated to management should be formalised. These arrangements should also be reviewed periodically to ensure that they remain appropriate to the issuer's needs. The Company did not review periodically the arrangement regarding the functions reserved to the Board and those delegated to management. However, when a matter arises that requires decision, the Board will determine whether it should be reserved for the Board or delegate to the management to deal with.

The Company will continue to regularly review and monitor its corporate governance practices to ensure compliance with the CG Code, and maintain a high standard of corporate governance practices of the Company.

COMPLIANCE WITH THE MODEL CODE FOR SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS BY DIRECTORS

Report on Review of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF YSB INC.
(incorporated in Cayman Islands with limited liability)

INTRODUCTION

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated financial statements of YSB Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group") set out on pages 33 to 57, which comprise the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of 30 June 2025 and the related condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of a report on interim financial information to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" ("IAS 34") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review, and to report our conclusion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

SCOPE OF REVIEW

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of these condensed consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

CONCLUSION

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

18. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The board of directors of the Company has set up a treasury management team, which is headed up by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, to determine the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs for fair value measurements.

In estimating the fair value, the Group uses market-observable data to the extent it is available. For instruments with significant unobservable inputs under Level 3, the Group engages third party qualified valuers to perform the valuation. The treasury management team works closely with the qualified external valuers to establish the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs to the model. The Chief Financial Officer reports the treasury management team’s findings to the board of directors of the Company semi-annually to explain the cause of fluctuations in the fair value.

The fair values of these financial assets and financial liabilities are determined (in particular, the valuation technique(s) and inputs used), as well as the level of the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurements are categorised (Levels 1 to 3) based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements is observable.

  • Level 1 fair value measurements are based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets or liabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date;
  • Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
  • Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include the lowest level inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

18. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

Fair values of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (Continued)

Notes:

(i) Key inputs included possibilities under different scenarios, such as qualified IPO, redemption, liquidation and other inputs, such as time to liquidation or redemption, risk-free interest rate, expected volatility value and dividend yield.

(ii) Key unobservable inputs included discount rate and probability-adjusted revenue and profits of Yikuai Pharmaceutical. No sensitivity analysis in relation to the discount rate has been presented as changes in fair values due to changes the discount rate are insignificant.

(iii) Key inputs included quoted market price of the share of the Company and probability-adjusted revenue and profits of Yikuai Pharmaceutical. As at 30 June 2025, it is estimated that with all other variables held constant, a decrease in the expected probability-adjusted revenue and gross profits for year 2025, 2026 and 2027 by 5% would decrease the carrying amount of the contingent consideration payables, including cash and shares consideration, by RMB95,607,000 (unaudited) (31 December 2024: RMB91,870,000 (audited)).

There were no transfer between Level 1 and 2 during both periods.

Fair values of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities is determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing model based on discounted cash flow analysis.

The management of the Group considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the condensed consolidated financial statements approximate to their fair values.
