ALIBABA GROUP HOLDING LIMITED (BABA) — DATA TABLES FY2026

Source: Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, signed and dated May 20, 2026. All figures in RMB millions unless stated. Fiscal years end on March 31 (FY2026 = April 1, 2025 – March 31, 2026).

Abbreviations for sources: IS = Consolidated Income Statements (F-5); BS = Consolidated Balance Sheets (F-7/F-8); SE = Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity (F-9/F-11); CF = Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (F-12/F-14); N = Note to the consolidated financial statements; Item = section of the 20-F.

The document contains three income statements and cash flow statements (FY2024–FY2026) but only two balance sheets (March 31, 2025 and 2026). Shareholders' equity at March 31, 2024 is taken from SE. Every balance-sheet ratio is therefore available for two year-ends only.

Market data supplied by the user, not taken from the document: closing price of US$125.46 per ADS at March 31, 2026; 2.32 billion shares outstanding at March 31, 2026. The document defines one ADS as eight ordinary shares and reports 18,580,374,278 ordinary shares outstanding on the cover, equal to 2,322.5 million ADS-equivalents; the supplied 2.32 billion is therefore read as ADS-equivalents. Conversions use the document's convenience rate of RMB 6.8980 per US$1.00 (Item "Exchange Rate Information").

The company's own measure (Item 5) excludes office-campus land and construction and adjusts for buyer protection deposits: 156,210 / 73,870 / (46,609). The FY2026 difference of 3,241 between (49,850) and (46,609) is the campus capex excluded by the company (4,042), less purchases of intangibles (874), plus the buyer-protection adjustment (73).
