3、 Explanation of performance change reasons
1. In combination with the changes in the external environment and the company’s own operation, the company, based on the principle of prudence, accrues impairment provisions for relevant assets and recognizes investment losses, and is expected to reduce the company’s net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies by 25.475 billion yuan in 2021 (of which 443 million yuan has been reflected in the first three quarters. For details, see the company’s Announcement No. 2022-001).
2. Since June 2021, due to the continuous lack of liquidity, the company has a serious shortage of commodity inventory, and the sales and procurement scale have decreased significantly at the same time, resulting in the increase of procurement cost and the corresponding sharp decline of operating profit; At the same time, for the deductible losses that can be carried forward to the following years, the company recognizes the deferred income tax assets to the extent that it is likely to obtain the taxable income used to offset the deductible losses in the future. In combination with the changes of the external environment and the company’s own operation, the business operation strategies of some subsidiaries have been adjusted, As a result, the amount of taxable income that is likely to be obtained to offset deductible losses in the future will decrease, and the deferred income tax assets will be reversed accordingly. The foregoing events are expected to reduce the company’s net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies to RMB 8.5 billion-9 billion in 2021.
The above 1 and 2 reduce the company’s net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies by 33.975 billion yuan to 34.475 billion yuan in 2021. A series of impairment events of the company in 2021 will not affect the current cash flow level of the company, nor the current daily operation and the development of various business cooperation. The company will continue to recover funds through various paths and methods to minimize the loss to the company as much as possible.
3. If the above impairment provision, investment loss, deferred income tax reversal and other factors are not considered, the company expects the net profit loss attributable to the shareholders of the listed company to be 1.2-1.7 billion yuan in the fourth quarter, and the net profit loss attributable to the shareholders of the listed company is expected to be 8.768-9.268 billion yuan in 2021.
To sum up, the company expects to realize a net profit loss of 42.3 billion yuan to 43.3 billion yuan attributable to shareholders of Listed Companies in 2021.
4. During the reporting period, the impact of the company’s non operating profit and loss items was about 1.6 billion yuan, mainly including the impact of Zhuhai Puyi logistics industry investment partnership (limited partnership) on the acquisition of the company’s logistics assets company and the second bond discount repurchase of 18 Suning bonds.
After deducting the impact of this non operating profit and loss item, the company estimates that the net profit loss attributable to shareholders of listed companies after deducting non recurring profit and loss will be 43.9 billion yuan to 44.9 billion yuan in 2021.
5. In early July 2021, with the support of Jiangsu provincial and Nanjing municipal governments, the enterprise introduced new strategic investors.

At the same time, the company strictly refined management, strictly controlled various expenses, streamlined organization and improved human efficiency. The total expenses of the company in the fourth quarter continued to decrease by 13.6% month on month compared with the third quarter. Without considering the impact of a series of impairment and other matters, the net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies is expected to decrease by 59% – 71% in the fourth quarter compared with the third quarter. 2021 is the beginning of the transformation of Suning.Com Co.Ltd(002024) retail service providers, facing great difficulties, but the team is still seeking a breakthrough in the dilemma, continuously improving the channels and sinking the market, so as to accumulate strength for the recovery of enterprise sales and sustainable growth.
