Mr. Eric Shen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Vipshop, stated, "Our second quarter results reflected the agility of our team and the resilience of our business model, as we achieved operational excellence in the face of slower sales momentum. The fundamental strength of our business was evidenced by the resilient performance of our core brands and active Super VIP members. In the second quarter, we continued to sharpen our focus on enriching merchandise offerings, delivering value, and providing worry-free services, which are our core competitive edges. Looking ahead, we will stay close to customer needs, continue investing in our merchandising capabilities, and consistently execute on the discount retail fundamentals to achieve quality growth for the long term."

Mr. Mark Wang, Chief Financial Officer of Vipshop, further commented, "In the second quarter, we achieved solid profitability despite ongoing pressure on the topline growth. Our continued efforts in operating efficiency improvement helped us maintain consistent and healthy margins. Moreover, we accelerated our pace of preserving shareholder value with over US$200 million having been utilized for share buybacks during the quarter, and a new share repurchase program of up to US$1 billion will be in place after we fully utilize the remaining amount under the existing program. While uncertainties remain in the near term, we believe that our disciplined approach to managing the business, along with the long-term investments we are making in line with our strategy, positions us well to deliver sustainable and profitable growth in the long run."
