BEIJING, Nov. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- JD.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: JD and HKEX: 9618 (HKD counter) and 89618 (RMB counter), the “Company” or “JD.com”), a leading supply chain-based technology and service provider, today announced its unaudited financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Third Quarter 2025 Highlights
“In the third quarter, we continued to see strong growth in both user base and shopping frequency, and the number of our annual active customers surpassed a new milestone of 700 million in October,” said Sandy Xu, Chief Executive Officer of JD.com. “Our core JD Retail has built a growth matrix where multiple drivers complement each other. We are confident to further solidify our leading market position in electronics and home appliances despite the high trade-in base, and unlock vast growth potential in the general merchandise category and advertising services. In addition, as JD Food Delivery continued to scale up and generate deeper synergies with JD Retail, it also achieved sequential investment reduction in Q3, thanks to its improved unit economics performance. Overall, we have seen healthy progress across our business lines, and believe they will work in synergies to unlock the full potential of our broader business ecosystem for the long term.” “In the third quarter, our total revenues increased by 14.9% year-on-year, driven by healthy momentum across our business lines,” said Ian Su Shan, Chief Financial Officer of JD.com. “JD Retail revenues were up 11.4% year-on-year in the quarter. In particular, growth of the general merchandise category and advertising revenues further accelerated in Q3 compared to a quarter ago, both of which will be our important growth drivers. During the quarter, JD Retail also made steady year-on-year margin expansion in both gross and operating margins. Our consolidated bottom-line performance at the group level mainly reflects our investment in the New Businesses, for which we will keep scaling with improving financial models over time.” Updates of Share Repurchase Program Pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase program of up to US$5.0 billion adopted in August 2024 and effective through August 2027, the Company repurchased a total of approximately 80.9 million Class A ordinary shares (equivalent to 40.4 million ADSs) for approximately US$1.5 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The remaining amount under the share repurchase program was US$3.5 billion as of the date of this announcement. The total number of shares repurchased by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 amounted to approximately 2.8% of its ordinary shares outstanding as of December 31, 20243. All of these ordinary shares were repurchased from Nasdaq and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange pursuant to the share repurchase program. Business Highlights

In September 2025, JD Health partnered with several medical device brands, including Yuwell, Sinocare, and MicroTech, to establish the intelligent interconnected ecosystem alliance. Leveraging JD Health’s AI agents, the alliance aims to build an integrated, full-cycle smart blood glucose management system covering monitoring, analysis, intervention and tracking. Looking ahead, the collaboration will expand to blood pressure, electrocardiogram (ECG), respiratory oxygenation, and additional health areas, creating a comprehensive service ecosystem that spans disease prevention through chronic disease management to meet users’ long-term health management needs. In September 2025, JD Health and Union Hospital (Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology) signed a strategic cooperation agreement, aiming to build a leading smart outpatient service platform in China. The two parties will jointly promote the application of JD Health’s “JOY DOC” (京東卓醫) AI product in offline hospital outpatient services, with the goal of establishing a full-process AI companion system to provide patients with a more convenient medical experience. The two parties will also deepen cooperation in areas such as online healthcare services and education, jointly exploring new models of “Internet + Healthcare” services.
In the third quarter of 2025, JD Food Delivery continued to drive healthy progress. As its merchant supplies further expanded, JD Food Delivery recorded steady growth in GMV and order volume, while overall quarterly investment narrowed on a sequential basis. This was mainly attributable to its enhanced operational efficiency and financial discipline amid a competitive industry, resulting in a gradual improvement in the unit economics. During the third quarter, JD Food Delivery also continued to generate synergies with JD’s core retail business, particularly in driving user growth, user shopping frequency and cross-category purchases. In addition, 7Fresh Kitchen has gained wide recognition from consumers since its launch, with average daily order volume remaining at a high level. 7Fresh Kitchen represents a significant innovation in the supply chain model of the food delivery industry and is expected to contribute to the industry’s high-quality development.
On July 29, 2025, Fortune released the Fortune Global 500 list for 2025. JD has made the list for ten consecutive years, rising from No.366 a decade ago to No.44 this year.

Additionally, a live and archived webcast of the conference call will also be available on the JD.com’s investor relations website at http://ir.jd.com. About JD.com JD.com is a leading supply chain-based technology and service provider. The Company’s cutting-edge retail infrastructure seeks to enable consumers to buy whatever they want, whenever and wherever they want it. The Company has opened its technology and infrastructure to partners, brands and other sectors, as part of its Retail as a Service offering to help drive productivity and innovation across a range of industries. Non-GAAP Measures In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP measures, such as non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP net margin attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders, free cash flow, non-GAAP EBITDA, non-GAAP EBITDA margin, non-GAAP net income/(loss) per share and non-GAAP net income/(loss) per ADS, as supplemental measures to review and assess operating performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company defines non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations as income/(loss) from operations excluding share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions, effects of business cooperation arrangements, gain on sale of development properties and impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets. The Company defines non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders as net income/(loss) attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions, effects of business cooperation arrangements and non-compete agreements, gain/(loss) on disposals/deemed disposals of investments and others, reconciling items on the share of equity method investments, gain/(loss) from fair value change of long-term investments, impairment of goodwill, long-lived assets and investments, gain on sale of development properties and tax effects on non-GAAP adjustments. The Company defines free cash flow as operating cash flow adjusting the impact from consumer financing receivables included in the operating cash flow and capital expenditures, net of related sales proceeds. Capital expenditures include purchase of property, equipment and software, cash paid for construction in progress, purchase of intangible assets, land use rights and asset acquisitions. The Company defines non-GAAP EBITDA as non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations plus depreciation and amortization excluding amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions. Non-GAAP basic net income/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the periods. Non-GAAP diluted net income/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares outstanding during the periods, including the dilutive effects of share-based awards as determined under the treasury stock method and convertible senior notes. Non-GAAP net income/(loss) per ADS is equal to non-GAAP net income/(loss) per share multiplied by two. The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate operating performance and formulate business plans. Non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders and non-GAAP EBITDA reflect the Company’s ongoing business operations in a manner that allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons. Free cash flow enables management to assess liquidity and cash flow while taking into account the impact from consumer financing receivables included in the operating cash flow and the demands that the expansion of fulfillment infrastructure and technology platform has placed on financial resources. The Company believes that the use of the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors to understand and evaluate the Company’s current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management does, if they so choose. The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gain/loss and other items that are not expected to result in future cash payments or that are non-recurring in nature or may not be indicative of the Company’s core operating results and business outlook. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations or not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Further, these non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating performance. The Company encourages you to review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
