Reports Q2 revenue $49.8B vs. $40.1B last year. “In the second quarter, we saw robust growth in user traffic, quarterly active customers, and user shopping frequency on JD‘s platform, driven by sustained momentum across both our core JD Retail business and New Businesses including JD Food Delivery,” said Sandy Xu, CEO of JD.com (JD). “JD Retail delivered a strong 20.6% year-on-year revenue growth during the quarter, with operating margin reaching 4.5%, a historic high across all promotion quarters. JD Food Delivery also made healthy progress during the quarter in metrics such as order volume growth, merchant base expansion, full-time rider recruitment, and more importantly, synergies with retail and other existing businesses of JD, having successfully achieved our initial strategic goals. Looking ahead, we are confident that our core retail business will remain a solid cornerstone of our operations as we continue to focus on delivering the best user experience, lowering costs, and improving efficiency. At the same time, we will continue to invest in new growth areas in alignment with our long-term strategic roadmap.”
