About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company's unaudited consolidated financial results presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company has provided non-GAAP information related to income/(loss) from operations, net income/(loss), net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders of Tuniu Corporation, which excludes share-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets and impairment of property and equipment, net. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe that the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are useful for understanding and assessing underlying business performance and operating trends, and management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our financial performance and when planning and forecasting future periods.
This non-GAAP financial measure is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool. Further, this non-GAAP measure may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore its comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating performance. Tuniu encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Amazon Warns AI Capacity Limits, Stock Retreats
Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) slid after its earnings call because Andy Jassy was blunt: AI demand is real, but the company can't just snap its fingers and supply enough capacity. Electricity and chip shortages are the choke points, and he said it will take several quarters to work through it, even if things slowly improve each period. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with NVDA. He pushed back on the idea Amazon is losing the AI race and leaned into the spend$31.4Billion of AI-heavy capex in Q2 is the kind of run rate the back half is built on, with more going into chips, data centers and power. Tariffs haven't bitten yet in H1, he said, but who ends up paying higher U.S. rates later is still unclear. That caution rubbed some investors the wrong way. Lucas Ma of Envision Research warned the heavy investment and mounting competition from GOOG (NASDAQ:GOOG) and META (NASDAQ:META) could squeeze free cash flow, making capital allocation riskier if the AI arms race keeps accelerating. Amazon is chasing a big AI opportunity while bumping up against real limits, so growth hinges on execution and capital discipline. The next signs to watch are whether capacity actually ramps as promised and whether margin or cash flow pressure shows up once tariffs shift. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

S&P 500 Falls 1.5%, Nasdaq Tumbles 2% Dow Drops 500 Points on weak jobs and Trump tariffs
Aug 1 - U.S. stocks fell sharply Friday morning as a disappointing July jobs report and President Donald Trump's updated tariffs rattled investors. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 583 points, or 1.3%, while the S&P 500 fell 1.5% and the Nasdaq Composite slid nearly 2%. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 2 Warning Signs with FLTLF. The Labor Department reported just 73,000 new nonfarm payrolls in July, far below economists' forecasts for 100,000. Prior months were revised significantly lower, highlighting ongoing labor market weakness. Traders now see a 66% chance of a September Federal Reserve rate cut, up from earlier in the week. Tariff news added pressure. The White House announced levies of 10% to 41% on select imports, including a 35% rate on goods from Canada, up from 25%. Items routed through third countries to avoid duties will face a 40% charge. Tech and bank stocks were the worst in dragging down the market. JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) declined by 4%, and Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) dropped by more than 3%. Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) was down over 7% on weaker than hoped-for directions, and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) were falling, too. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) was an exception to the downward move when it gained 2 percent after it reported good earnings. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Bond Shockwave: Yields Plunge After Jobs Miss--Are Fed Cuts Coming Sooner Than Expected?
Investors just got the bond market equivalent of a caffeine jolt. After a soft U.S. jobs report on Friday, traders hit the buy button on Treasuriessending two-year yields down 21 basis points to 3.74%, the biggest single-day drop since last August. The sharp move came as the labor market showed clear signs of losing steam, with July payrolls rising just 73,000 and the past two months revised down by a staggering 260,000. Traders are now pricing in not one, but two Fed rate cuts this yearstarting possibly as early as September. The dollar sank, the S&P 500 (SPY) dropped 1.50% at 10.23am today, and fixed income desks lit up across Wall Street. The sell-off in rate expectations marks a fast turnaround from earlier in the week, when Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the labor market was still in balance. But Friday's data flipped the script. Fed Governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowmanboth Trump appointeeshad already voted to cut rates at the July meeting, arguing that waiting could damage the labor market. With the latest numbers now backing their view, the market seems to be catching up. That's why you're seeing the big move on the front end of the curve, said Jeffrey Rosenberg at BlackRock. In short: the doves may be winning. Meanwhile, the bond bulls are back in control. Treasury futures volume spiked as traders dumped curve-flattening bets and loaded up on two- to five-year notes. PGIM's Michael Collins called it a big beautiful bond market, saying the belly of the curve now offers the sweet spotgood yield without too much risk. Stocks with high rate sensitivity could benefit if rate cuts materialize. Whether Powell bends in September or not, markets just got a reminder: one bad jobs print can change the game fast.
