Q2 Net Loss More Than Doubles
Net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders widened to RMB39.1M (US$5.8M) from RMB19.5M in Q2 2025, driven by a 28.3% revenue decline to RMB2.3B and severance costs from AI-driven workforce streamlining.

Analysis · YI · Trade & Services
The second-quarter results from 111, Inc. reveal a deteriorating financial position that extends well beyond the headline revenue decline. Net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders more than doubled to RMB39.1 million (US$5.8 million) from RMB19.5 million a year earlier, while cash and equivalents fell 38% to RMB381.1 million from RMB611.3 million at year-end. The company is burning cash as it pivots to an asset-light model, and it carries a RMB956.7 million redemption obligation to 1 Pharmacy Technology investors — a liability that has already forced RMB282.2 million in repayments. The silver lining is promotional products revenue, which grew 121% to RMB60.7 million, and an 18.2% increase in marketplace service revenue for the first half. But the balance sheet pressure is real: shareholders' deficit widened to RMB776.3 million, and the company is relying on investor forbearance for 63.8% of the redemption principal. This filing lands the same day as a going-private proposal at US$4.52 per ADS, which may explain why the market is focused on the buyout rather than the deteriorating fundamentals.
