With 4.5 billion parcels,ZTO grew its volume 13.5 percentage points faster than the industry average and expanded our market share by 1.5 percentage points to 20.4% from last year."
Mr. Lai added,"The competitive dynamics of China's express delivery industry continued to evolve. While profit level declined for the industry due to price competition that remained intense,those with stronger capacity and more stable partner network delivered better performance results. Since its early years,ZTO has devoted resources towards continuous development of infrastructure and cultivation of trust and loyalty by its network partners. Relying on our leading throughput capability and effective incentive policies across our network,we achieved healthy levels of market share expansion and earnings as we remained number one in customer satisfaction ranking. We firmly believe,our consistent strategy and execution through high quality of service backed by leading scale and efficiency will provide the winning edge going forward."
Ms. Huiping Yan,Chief Financial Officer of ZTO,"We achieved RMB 782 million adjusted net profit that increased 23.1%. Our core express delivery business ASP declined by 12.4%,theleast amount of drop compared with industry peers,yet we have achieved the most market share gain. The combined unit sorting and transportation costs efficiency gain was 5.2% despite the absence of favorable effects of ETC toll waiver policy that expired May last year,and our lean corporate structure continued to contribute positively to the bottom line."
Ms. Yan added,"Cash flow from operating activities increased 168.3% to reach RMB 477 million in the quarter. Capital expenditures was RMB 2.3 billion as we focus more on building comprehensive logistics service capabilities. We have set distinctive targets towards differentiating products and services across logistics landscape to serve a greater array of consumers and businesses in the next 3 to 5 years."

Other costs were RMB819.8 million (US$125.1 million),an increase of RMB347.8 million (US$53.1 million) compared to the same period lastyear.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses adjusted EBITDA,adjusted net income,adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders and adjusted basic and diluted earnings per American depositary share,each a non-GAAP financial measure,in evaluating ZTO's operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.

The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA,adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders and adjusted basic and diluted earnings per American depositary share help identify underlying trends in ZTO's business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of the expenses and gains that the Company includes in income from operations and net income. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA,adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders and adjusted basic and diluted earnings per American depositary share provide useful information about its operating results,enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by ZTO's management in its financial and operational decision-making.
Adjusted EBITDA,adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders and adjusted basic and diluted earnings per American depositary share should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to net income or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of the Company's operating performance. Investors are encouraged to compare the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA,adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders and adjusted basic and diluted earnings per American depositary share presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently,limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to ZTO's data. ZTO encourages investors and others to review the Company's financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
