Thank you, Lee.
謝謝你,李。
Hello, everyone.
大家好。
Thank you for joining us today.
感謝您今天加入我們。
We are pleased to deliver another strong quarter with solid top line and bottom line results.
我們很高興再次實現強勁的季度業績和穩健的營收和利潤。
Our net revenue growth reached the high end of our expectation, and our non-GAAP net income increased by 67% from the same quarter a year ago.
我們的淨收入成長達到了我們預期的高端,我們的非 GAAP 淨收入較去年同期成長了 67%。
During the fourth quarter of 2018, our net revenues grew 22.4%, a solid performance on top of an exceptionally strong fourth quarter in 2017 despite relatively soft consumption in large ticket electronics and appliance categories.
2018 年第四季度,我們的淨收入成長了 22.4%,儘管大件電子產品和家電類別的消費相對疲軟,但在 2017 年第四季異常強勁的基礎上,我們的表現依然穩健。
Revenues from general merchandise categories grew 38% during the quarter, driven by home goods, skincare and cosmetics categories.
在家居用品、護膚品和化妝品類別的推動下,本季日用百貨類別的收入成長了 38%。
In addition fulfilled marketplace GMV again grew over 40% year-over-year, as we continue to improve marketplace operations.
此外,隨著我們不斷改善市場運營,配送市場 GMV 再次年增 40% 以上。
Net service revenues grew by 45.7% year-over-year, driven by JD Logistics third-party revenues and advertising services.
在京東物流第三方收入和廣告服務的推動下,淨服務收入較去年同期成長45.7%。
For the full year of 2018, our net revenues increased by 27.5% and our total GMV grew by 30%, as we continue to take market share and outperform the industries we participated in.
2018 年全年,我們的淨收入成長了 27.5%,總 GMV 成長了 30%,我們繼續佔據市場份額並超越我們參與的行業。
Revenues from general merchandise categories grew over 42% during the year, as a result of more diversified, high-quality product selection and our superior customer experience.
由於更加多元化、高品質的產品選擇以及卓越的客戶體驗,年內百貨類的收入成長超過42%。
Net service revenues grew over 50% and contributed nearly 10% of our total revenues in 2018, up from 8.4% in 2017, as we leveraged our retail infrastructure to expand into these segments.
隨著我們利用零售基礎設施向這些領域擴張,淨服務收入成長超過 50%,佔 2018 年總收入的近 10%,高於 2017 年的 8.4%。
Gross margin in the fourth quarter was 14.2% compared to 13% in the fourth quarter 2017.
第四季的毛利率為 14.2%,而 2017 年第四季的毛利率為 13%。
The margin expansion was attributable to the continued margin improvement of both JD Mall and JD Logistics.
利潤率的成長歸因於京東商城和京東物流的利潤率持續改善。
JD Mall gross margin increased over 60 basis points, mainly driven by economies of scale from the 1P business, up 38 basis points in Q3 as well as solid advertising revenue growth.
京東商城毛利率成長超過 60 個基點,主要得益於 1P 業務的規模經濟,第三季成長 38 個基點以及廣告收入的穩健成長。
JD Logistics' third-party business also achieved significant gross margin improvement during the quarter, as it continues to grow to scale and optimize its operations.
京東物流的第三方業務在本季也實現了顯著的毛利率改善,隨著其不斷擴大規模和優化營運。
On a full-year basis, non-GAAP gross margin improved from 13.8% in 2017 to 14.1% in 2018, mainly driven from JD Mall gross margin expansion of 38 basis points during the year, partially offset by investments in new businesses.
全年來看,非美國通用會計準則毛利率從2017年的13.8%改善至2018年的14.1%,主要得益於年內京東商城毛利率擴張38個基點,部分被新業務投資所抵銷。
Fulfillment expense ratio in the fourth quarter was 6.6%, down from 7.2% in the same quarter last year, thanks to improved utilization of our logistics capacity and higher workforce productivity in the seasonally high quarter.
第四季的履約費用率為 6.6%,低於去年同期的 7.2%,這得益於我們的物流能力利用率的提高以及季節性高季度勞動生產力的提高。
During the fourth quarter, our R&D expense increased to 70% from the same quarter of 2017, but were relatively flat as compared with Q3.
第四季度,我們的研發費用較2017年同季成長至70%,但與第三季相比相對持平。
For the full year of 2018, the expenses increased over 80% to RMB 12.1 billion, as we hired top R&D talent around the world to enhance our technology infrastructure and implement our AI-driven digital strategy.
2018年全年,由於我們聘請了全球頂尖研發人才來增強我們的技術基礎設施並實施人工智慧驅動的數位化策略,因此費用增長了80%以上,達到人民幣121億元。
With key leaders and various levels of staff now in place, we expect R&D expenses to stabilize in 2019.
隨著主要領導和各級員工的到位,我們預計 2019 年研發費用將穩定。
Our marketing expense ratio was 4.7% in the fourth quarter 2018, up from 4.3% in the same quarter a year ago.
2018 年第四季,我們的行銷費用率為 4.7%,高於去年同期的 4.3%。
And our 2018 full-year marketing expense ratio was 4.2% comparable to the 2017 level.
我們2018年全年行銷費用率為4.2%,與2017年水準相當。
Our fourth quarter and full year G&A expense ratios were 1% and 1.1% respectively, comparable to the same periods in 2017.
我們第四季和全年的一般管理費用率分別為 1% 和 1.1%,與 2017 年同期相當。
Coming to the bottom line.
來到底線。
Our non-GAAP net margin in Q4 -- net income in Q4 was RMB 750 million with a net margin of 0.6%, up from 0.4% in the same quarter a year ago.
我們第四季的非公認會計準則淨利潤率為人民幣 7.5 億元,淨利潤率為 0.6%,高於去年同期的 0.4%。
The improvement was mainly supported by JD Mall's operating margin expansion of 52 basis points during the quarter and the reduced losses at JD Logistics' third-party business.
這項改善主要得益於京東商城本季營業利潤率擴大 52 個基點以及京東物流第三方業務虧損減少。
On a full-year basis, non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders was RMB 3.5 billion, with a net margin of 0.7%, down 62 basis points from 2017 largely due to investments in new businesses.
全年非美國通用會計準則歸屬於普通股股東的淨利為人民幣35億元,淨利潤率為0.7%,較2017年下降62個基點,主要原因是新業務投資。
However, as we committed in our revised guidance in August last year, the operating margin for JD Mall remained intact, improving from 1.4% in 2017 to 1.6% in 2018, despite a 34 basis point increase in R&D expense ratio within JD Mall.
然而,正如我們在去年8 月修訂後的指引中所承諾的那樣,儘管京東商城的研發費用率增加了34 個基點,但京東商城的營業利潤率保持不變,從2017 年的1.4% 提高到2018 年的1.6%。
This margin improvement demonstrates the resilience of our core margin trend, which is driven by the retail economies of scale and continuous improvement in our operating efficiencies.
這一利潤率的提高顯示了我們核心利潤率趨勢的彈性,這是由零售規模經濟和我們營運效率的持續提高所推動的。
On the last August earnings call, I mentioned that we had established a property management group, not only to develop and manage our state-of-the-art facilities, but also to monetize these assets to compensate for our earnings shortfall last year, unlock value for our shareholders, while optimizing our capital structure.
在去年八月份的財報電話會議上,我提到我們成立了一個物業管理集團,不僅是為了開發和管理我們最先進的設施,也是為了將這些資產貨幣化,以彌補我們去年的盈利缺口,解鎖為股東創造價值,同時優化資本結構。
I'm pleased to share with you that we have established our first logistics property Core Fund in February, in partnership with GIC, the sovereign wealth fund of Singapore.
我很高興與大家分享,我們在二月與新加坡主權財富基金 GIC 合作設立了第一個物流地產核心基金。
And have just signed a definitive agreement to transfer a portfolio for modern warehouses, valued at approximately RMB 10.9 billion to the Core Fund.
並剛簽署最終協議,將價值約109億元人民幣的現代倉庫投資組合轉讓給核心基金。
The deal will close in several phases with the majority to be completed in 2019.
該交易將分幾個階段完成,其中大部分將於 2019 年完成。
And our property management group, we'll continue to manage the assets for the current income stream and receive carried interest for future value appreciation.
我們的物業管理團隊將繼續管理資產以獲得當前收入流,並獲得附帶利息以實現未來價值增值。
The estimated IRR from the transaction will be in excess of 17%, which is the annual return on these investments since we began developing these facilities from as early as 2012.
此次交易的預計 IRR 將超過 17%,這是自我們早在 2012 年開始開發這些設施以來這些投資的年回報率。
If we allocate this annual return to the corresponding years, we would have earned at least RMB 1.5 billion in additional profit in the year of 2018 alone.
如果將這個年度收益分配到相應年份,光是2018年我們就可以額外賺取至少15億元的利潤。
The GIC Core Fund transaction demonstrates our ability to source, develop, manage and monetize well-located, high-quality logistics facilities.
GIC 核心基金交易證明了我們採購、開發、管理位置優越的優質物流設施並利用其貨幣化的能力。
As we're developing more similar projects that are available for future dispositions, we have designated CapEx related to these developments in a separate line in the cash flow -- free cash flow table, and any future cash proceeds from these asset sales will also be disclosed in this section so you can make better judgment on our free cash flow situation.
由於我們正在開發更多可用於未來處置的類似項目,因此我們已在現金流量表中將與這些開發相關的資本支出指定為單獨的一行——自由現金流量表,並且這些資產出售的任何未來現金收益也將在此部分披露,以便您更好地判斷我們的自由現金流狀況。
Now let's discuss our financial outlook.
現在讓我們來討論一下我們的財務前景。
In light of the relatively soft demand in certain durable goods categories, we expect 1Q 2019 net revenue growth to be between 18% and 22% on a year-over-year basis.
鑑於某些耐用品類別的需求相對疲軟,我們預計 2019 年第一季淨收入年增將在 18% 至 22% 之間。
For the full year of 2019, we expect our non-GAAP net margin to be between 0.8% and 1.2%.
2019 年全年,我們預計非 GAAP 淨利率將介於 0.8% 至 1.2% 之間。
This margin guidance excludes the development profit from our property management business, which will add another 0.5% to 0.6% to our GAAP net margin.
此利潤指引不包括我們物業管理業務的開發利潤,這將使我們的 GAAP 淨利潤率再增加 0.5% 至 0.6%。
Lastly, one quick note on the disclosure change to the GMV data.
最後,簡單說明一下 GMV 數據的揭露變化。
Beginning this year, we will no longer disclose quarterly GMV, but will continue to disclose full year GMV, which is consistent with our major industry peer.
從今年開始,我們將不再揭露季度GMV,但將繼續揭露全年GMV,這與我們主要產業同業一致。
As we discussed in the past, the GMV data currently disclosed are for industry comparisons only and are not meant for financial analysis purposes.
正如我們過去所討論的,目前揭露的GMV數據僅用於行業比較,並不用於財務分析目的。
As we expand our service business, GMV is also increasingly less relevant to our revenue streams in the future.
隨著我們服務業務的擴展,GMV 與我們未來收入流的相關性也越來越小。
This concludes my prepared remarks, and we can now move to the Q&A session.
我準備好的演講到此結束,我們現在可以進入問答環節。

(Operator Instructions) Our first question comes from the line of Ronald Keung from Goldman Sachs.
(操作員說明)我們的第一個問題來自高盛的Ronald Keung。
Ronald Keung - Executive Director
Ronald Keung - Executive Director
In light of the very strong results, I just want to hear our thoughts into our GMV growth and target, like, how many categories when we think about the growth?
鑑於非常強勁的業績,我只想聽聽我們對 GMV 成長和目標的想法,例如,當我們考慮成長時有多少個類別?
Aren't you thinking about from a user base?
不考慮用戶基礎嗎?
How do we see user growth trending for 2019 and so the strategies in driving that?
我們如何看待 2019 年的用戶成長趨勢以及推動此趨勢的策略?
And on that front in driving traffic, could you also give us any updates on your JD-Tencent agreement?
在增加流量方面,您能否向我們介紹一下京東與騰訊協議的最新情況?
Any rough timing that we would see or hear any updates from the 2 partners and aims to achieve on user growth?
我們會看到或聽到兩個合作夥伴的任何更新以及旨在實現用戶成長的大致時間嗎?
Xuande Huang - CFO
Xuande Huang - CFO
So maybe I will first address the category question and then Xu Lei can discuss the user question, and then we will discuss the Tencent question.
所以也許我會先講品類問題,然後徐雷可以討論使用者問題,然後我們再討論騰訊問題。
So on the categories, as we mentioned in the past, first, we are full category retailer with the largest scale in China.
所以在品類上,就像我們過去提到的,第一,我們是中國最大的全品類零售商。
We continue to believe this put us in a very unique competitive position to expand across the categories.
我們仍然相信,這使我們處於非常獨特的競爭地位,可以擴展到各個類別。
This has demonstrated in our recent results and also results in the past years.
這在我們最近的結果和過去幾年的結果中得到了證明。
So we do expect solid growth above the market growth, across all of our key categories, going forward.
因此,我們確實預期未來所有關鍵類別的成長將穩定高於市場成長。
Now our own growth rate may be impacted by certain durable goods categories, but as I mentioned in the past, within these categories, we continue to significantly outperform the industry.
現在我們自己的成長率可能會受到某些耐用品類別的影響,但正如我過去提到的,在這些類別中,我們的表現繼續顯著優於行業。
So we are confident that growth should still be intact from -- per category basis.
因此,我們有信心,從每個類別的角度來看,成長應該仍然完好無損。

Let me take the question of user base in 2019 from 2 aspects.
我從2個面向來回答2019年的使用者基礎問題。
The first one is about the retention of existing users.
第一個是關於現有用戶的保留。
In 2018, our average revenue per user has been on the rise mainly due to 2 factors: one is product cross category, marketing and also personalized user interface.
2018年,我們的每位使用者平均收入一直在上升,主要歸因於兩個因素:一是產品跨類別、行銷以及個人化使用者介面。
(foreign language)
(外語)
For new customers, new user recruitment, we would do our efforts in following 3 aspects: the first one is pricing.
對於新客戶、新用戶的招募,我們會在以下三個方面做出努力:第一個是定價。
We will try to provide the right product offerings to the right tiered cities.
我們將努力為合適的三線城市提供合適的產品。
And the second one is that we will explore new marketing scenarios, for example, community and campus and off-line experience stores.
第二個是我們會探索新的行銷場景,像是社區校園、線下體驗店等。
In that way, we will provide better product and service to new customers -- to attract the new customers.
這樣,我們將為新客戶提供更好的產品和服務—吸引新客戶。
And also, we will analyze our marketing expenditure structure and try to keep our resources to those more efficient and effective marketing investment.
此外,我們還將分析我們的行銷支出結構,並盡量將我們的資源用於那些更有效率、更有效的行銷投資。
Jon Liao - Chief Strategy Officer

With regard to JD-Tencent's relationship, both parties are fully committed to such a partnerships of importance to both parties.

(操作員指示)我們的下一個問題來自美國銀行的 Eddie Leung。
Eddie Leung - MD in Equity Research and Analyst
Eddie Leung - MD in Equity Research and Analyst
My question is more about the improvement in gross margin or the trend.
我的問題比較是關於毛利率的改善或趨勢。
So just could you give us some comments on the following 2 factors.
您能否就以下兩個因素給我們一些評論?
One is, I remember you mentioned that the electronics appliance category has been under some industry pressure, as you peers, obvious.
一是,我記得您提到過,電子電器類別一直承受著一些行業壓力,正如你們同行一樣,這是顯而易見的。
And historically, you want to try for your gross margin is increasing negotiation power on bigger scale so that you can get larger discounts and rebates from your suppliers, especially in the electronics and appliances.
從歷史上看,您想要嘗試的毛利率是在更大範圍內增加談判能力,以便您可以從供應商那裡獲得更大的折扣和回扣,尤其是在電子和電器領域。
So just wondering if these change -- these macro change would affects the pace of the scalability and how would that affect our gross margin?
所以只是想知道這些變化 - 這些宏觀變化是否會影響可擴展性的速度,這將如何影響我們的毛利率?
And separately, again on gross margin, see, you also mentioned that JD Logistics gross margin improving.
另外,再談談毛利率,您也提到京東物流的毛利率正在改善。
So Xu, just wondering if we have any broad time frame that we would expect the subsidies to the third-party users or corporate users would they reduce it and hence we would see potentially positive gross margin from JD Logistics.
所以徐,只是想知道我們是否有一個廣泛的時間框架,我們預計對第三方用戶或企業用戶的補貼會減少,因此我們會看到京東物流潛在的正毛利率。
Any comment would be helpful?
任何評論會有幫助嗎?
Xuande Huang - CFO
Xuande Huang - CFO
Sure.
當然。
So on the gross margin.
所以在毛利率上。
I mentioned, even for electronics and home appliance categories, we remain above the industry growth.
我提到,即使對於電子和家電類別,我們仍然高於行業成長。
And mainly, we definitely see double-digit growth for example in Q4.
主要是,我們肯定會在第四季度看到兩位數的成長。
And the industry on the other hand, is in low single digit.
另一方面,該行業處於低個位數水平。
So the growth will continue to drive scale economies.
因此,成長將繼續推動規模經濟。
In fact, when industries flow as the largest retailer, the largest most important channel, we may gain even more economies of scale when we discuss with this client, for example, helping them to create inventory and also order more unique customized product models.
事實上,當產業流動作為最大的零售商、最大最重要的管道時,我們和這個客戶討論時可能會獲得更多的規模經濟,例如幫助他們創建庫存,也可以訂購更多獨特的客製化產品型號。
So they are various ways to improve gross margins without compromising the consumer-facing price.
因此,他們有多種方法可以在不影響面向消費者的價格的情況下提高毛利率。
We'll remain as the most competitive price provider from a customer point of view.
從客戶的角度來看,我們將仍然是最具競爭力的價格提供者。
On JD Logistics, we mentioned that in the early stage of its business, we had some early discounts to attract the major customers, but after the initial phase, the pricing has been moving back to a more normalized level.
關於京東物流,我們提到,在業務初期,我們有一些早期折扣來吸引主要客戶,但在初期階段之後,定價已經回歸到更正常的水平。
So right now, it is -- most of these clients have passed the initial discount phase.
所以現在,大多數客戶已經過了最初的折扣階段。
So that's why the margin, the gross margin, for JD Logistics has been improved quite significantly.
所以這就是為什麼京東物流的利潤率、毛利率得到了相當顯著的提高。

Alicia Yap - MD and Head of Pan-Asia Internet Research
I have questions on this annual active customer accounts.
我對年度活躍客戶帳戶有疑問。
Understand that the company actually disclose on the quarterly active customer is experiencing year-over-year growth, right, for a third quarter and fourth quarter.
了解該公司實際上披露的季度活躍客戶在第三季度和第四季度正在經歷同比增長,對吧。
So just wonder, if we're looking at it on a quarterly active customer base, on a sequential basis, what is the growth rate from 3Q to 4Q?
所以想知道,如果我們按季度活躍客戶群來看,按順序計算,第三季到第四季的成長率是多少?
And should we assume this kind of flattish annual trend to only normalize later in the third quarter of 2019?
我們是否應該假設這種平淡的年度趨勢只會在 2019 年第三季晚些時候恢復正常?
Xuande Huang - CFO
Xuande Huang - CFO
Right.
正確的。
So the Q4 quarterly customer accounts also increased sequentially, roughly 6% in Q4.
因此,第四季客戶帳戶也較上季成長,大約成長了 6%。
So there is still upward trend in the active customer base.
因此,活躍客戶群仍呈上升趨勢。
I mentioned in the past, this is -- the divergence of these 2 data points is really -- because we are seeing improving quality of the new customers this year, but the customers in the previous 12 months, we did see more one-time accounts.
我過去提到過,這兩個數據點的差異確實很大,因為我們看到今年新客戶的品質有所提高,但在過去 12 個月的客戶中,我們確實看到了更多的一次性客戶帳戶。
So that's why we singled out the recent 2 quarters just to show our customer growth is still relatively healthy.
因此,我們挑選最近兩個季度只是為了表明我們的客戶成長仍然相對健康。

Sidney, I have a question on your non-GAAP guidance for 2019.
Sidney,我對 2019 年非 GAAP 指引有疑問。
So it seems like your R&D expenses are going to be flattish.
所以看起來你們的研發費用將會持平。
Assuming other, we see operating expenses across the line OpEx and then hopefully with better improvement of JD Mall and also from improvement on the third-party logistics, shouldn't we be seeing more leverage on your margins?
假設其他情況,我們看到全線營運支出的營運費用,然後希望隨著京東商城的更好改善以及第三方物流的改善,我們難道不會看到你們的利潤率有更大的槓桿作用嗎?
So can you give us a little bit more color on the margin guidance and the breakdown there?
那麼您能否為我們提供更多有關保證金指導和細分的資訊?
And just if I could followup on your -- it seems like your merchant account is now a bit higher in the fourth quarter versus third quarter.
如果我可以跟進您的情況,您的商家帳戶現在第四季度比第三季要高一些。
Has there any -- can you give us an update what has changed in terms of third-party merchants?
您能為我們介紹一下第三方商家方面的最新變化嗎?
Xuande Huang - CFO
Xuande Huang - CFO
Okay.
好的。
So Xu Lei will answer the merchant questions.
那麼徐雷就來解答商家的疑問。
So on the -- just to take R&D as an example, when I say the R&D expense will stabilize in 2019, it's stabilizing at the Q3, Q4 level.
所以,以研發為例,當我說研發費用將在2019年穩定時,它穩定在第三、第四季的水平。
So full year basis, if you take that run rate, you would still see that net year-over-year probably above our revenue growth.
因此,以全年為基礎,如果您採用該運行率,您仍然會看到同比淨值可能高於我們的收入成長。
So that's one factor.
這是一個因素。
Obviously, we will continue to invest in the various initiatives.
顯然,我們將繼續投資於各種舉措。
Will be on a more selective basis with more financial discipline, some balanced approach this year, but we will be in select areas where we think it's very critical to company strategy.
今年將在更有選擇性的基礎上,採取更多的財務紀律和一些平衡的方法,但我們將選擇我們認為對公司策略非常關鍵的領域。
We'll continue to invest very aggressively.
我們將繼續非常積極地投資。
So at the beginning of the year, we will rather start with relatively conservative guidance.
所以在年初,我們寧願以相對保守的指導開始。
Clearly, the margin will be better than last year.
顯然,利潤率將好於去年。
We do hope we can give you more up-sight over the course of the year, especially when we have better clarity on the macro trend.
我們確實希望能夠在這一年中為您提供更多的前瞻性信息,尤其是當我們對宏觀趨勢有了更清晰的了解時。

Jin-Kyu Yoon - Analyst
I think there is somewhere around 700 basis point delta between online sales and GMV in the quarter.
我認為本季線上銷售額與 GMV 之間存在約 700 個基點的增量。
So just kind of wanted to gauge what that delta would look like going forward?
所以只是想評估一下這個三角洲未來會是什麼樣子?
I understand that you won't give GMV numbers, but it would be interesting to hear kind of what the delta would look like for the upcoming year?
我知道您不會給出 GMV 數字,但聽聽來年的三角洲會是什麼樣子會很有趣?
As well as is there -- how much material impact are you seeing from your PINGO business?
您從您的 PONGO 業務中看到了多少實質影響?
Or how much are you seeing contributions from that business?
或是您看到該企業的貢獻有多少?
Xuande Huang - CFO
Xuande Huang - CFO
Right.
正確的。
So I think you are referring to the growth rate between the revenue and GMV, and the difference would be the marketplace GMV.
所以我認為你指的是營收和 GMV 之間的成長率,其中的差異就是市場 GMV。
I mentioned that our fulfilled marketplace GMV actually grew over 40%.
我提到我們的配送市場 GMV 實際上成長了 40% 以上。
So that would bridge the gap, in terms of different growth rate of GMV and JD.

Last April, we tried to launch our PINGO group buying business, and it has proved itself to be very interesting to helping us to reach to lower tier cities and markets.
去年4月,我們嘗試推出PINGO團購業務,事實證明它對於幫助我們進入低線城市和市場非常有趣。
That's been very useful, helpful.

As you know, as mainstream e-commerce player, we haven't actually leveraged our competitive advantages in those lower tier markets.
如您所知,作為主流電子商務參與者,我們實際上並沒有充分利用我們在低線市場的競爭優勢。
And through PINGO now we are positioned to do that.
現在,透過 Pingo,我們有能力做到這一點。
And also as you know, Weixin market has been growing very fast.

當然。
So on the property management business, we are still in the process of closing those transactions.
因此,在物業管理業務方面,我們仍在完成這些交易。
So only after the closing, we'll start to earn the management fee.
所以只有在成交後,我們才會開始賺取管理費。
With our larger scale, we don't think the management fee will have any material impact on our bottom line at least this year.
由於我們的規模較大,我們認為管理費至少今年不會對我們的利潤產生任何重大影響。
But as we continue to monetize the other assets on the portfolio, it could become more meaningful.
但隨著我們繼續將投資組合中的其他資產貨幣化,它可能會變得更有意義。
There shouldn't be much of an impact on our fulfillment expense after all with our large warehouse network.
畢竟我們擁有大型倉庫網絡,這對我們的履行費用不會產生太大影響。
Only about -- at the end of the year, roughly 2.5 million square meters of warehouses were self-built.
僅-年底,自建倉庫面積約250萬平方公尺。
And now we are monetizing them.
現在我們正在將它們貨幣化。
So this is a fraction, roughly about 20-plus percent of our overall warehouse space.
所以這只是我們整個倉庫空間的一小部分,大約是 20% 以上。
So the current monetization plan does not -- will not have much of a significant impact on the fulfillment expense.

And from both operating side because of operating margin will improve and also from CapEx side that now that we have also completed a major CapEx year for our technology infrastructure in 2018.
從營運方面來看,因為營運利潤率將會提高,從資本支出來看,現在我們也已經在 2018 年完成了技術基礎設施的主要資本支出年。
So we will have less other CapEx.

We will have better margins, operating cash flow, and we will have the development available for sale line separated, which will see cash inflow this year.
我們將擁有更好的利潤率和營運現金流,並且我們將把可供出售的開發項目分開,今年將出現現金流入。
