COVID-19 Response

3

Prioritized the health and safety of our employees and customers

Ensured strong balance sheet and liquidity position

Positioned ourselves for opportunities as conditions recover

Committed our resources early and often to fight against COVID-19

o On January 24, BEST established a “green channel” to provide free transportation of medical supplies to Hubei Province and other areas in China impacted by the COVID-

19 outbreak. BEST Express, BEST Freight, BEST Supply Chain and BEST Store+ have all played a part in the shipping of medical and relief supplies.

o Between January 24 and March 11, BEST arranged for and paid for 83 vehicles delivering more than 170,000 items (approximately 1,000 tons) of medical and relief

supplies. The donations, including medical masks, goggles, gloves, bedsheets, medical equipment, medicine and food, were worth more than RMB50 million. These

items were shipped to designated hospitals and charitable organizations in Hubei Province and other heavily impacted areas in China.

o BEST also leveraged its expertise in cross-border logistics. With BEST’s assistance in transportation, transits, and customs clearance, medical supplies including

protective clothing, goggles and masks, were sent to China from the United States, Brazil, South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Japan.

o Concurrently, we also took further steps to protect the safety of our frontline staff and customers overseas. About 400,000 masks have been distributed to our

subsidiaries in Malaysia, Thailand, the United States and Vietnam.

Financial Highlights – 1st Quarter, 2020

Notes:

All numbers presented have been rounded to the nearest integer, tenth, or hundredth and may not add up. Year over year comparisons are based on figures before rounding.

1. Starting in 2017, the Company revised its arrangements with franchisees and the scope of its service. As a result, the Company became the principal that is directly responsible for last-mile delivery of all parcels and freight processed through its network, and the Company is liable to senders for damage to or loss of parcels and freight in connection

with last-mile delivery. Therefore, in consideration of such expanded scope of services and increased responsibilities, the Company included the last-mile delivery service fee in its revenue.

2. Before the completion of the Company’s IPO in September 2017, no SBC expense had been recognized. Upon completion of the I PO, the Company immediately recognized a substantial amount of SBC expense associated with vested share-based awards, especially in the fourth quarter of 2017.

3. Non-GAAP net loss represents net loss excluding SBC expense, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquis itions and fair value change of equity investments.

with last-mile delivery. Therefore, in consideration of such expanded scope of services and increased responsibilities, the Company included the last-mile delivery service fee in its revenue.

services

Last-mile services to consumers: expand membership program, online-to-offline and last-mile services to grow 2C business
