Comment

Supply chain shortages and other factors led to a year-on-year decline in sales, compared with the industry is still more resilient.

The total sales volume of 3QFY22's retail (offline stores and online channels) and wholesale business fell 20%, 30% year-on-year, mainly due to the shortage of partner supply chain, COVID-19 epidemic and short-term events (during the same period, the revenue of Nike Greater China, one of the company's main brands, fell 24% compared with the same period last year, and the net comprehensive operating income of Baosheng International dropped 28% compared with the same period last year). From a sub-channel point of view, the growth of online channel sales makes up for the pressure of offline sales (Topsports International Holdings Limited's online full-platform sales increased by about 20% compared with the same period last year, ranking first among sports footwear retailers in the network). The passenger flow in offline channels declined year-on-year, including a decline of about 30% in November, narrowed compared with August, and the decline in revenue was lower than that in passenger flow. By the end of November, the total number of registered members of the company had reached more than 50 million, an increase of more than 6% compared with the end of August, of which the sales of members contributed more than 95%, and the income contributed by the repurchase of old members exceeded 70%.

The inventory level continued to be benign, and the proportion of new products increased in 3-6 months. By the end of November, the company's inventory within six months accounted for more than 70%, mainly footwear that were less affected by the season.

The shortage of brand supply chain affects the arrival of new products within 3 months, and the proportion of sub-new products in 3-6 months in the sales structure increases, which leads to the enlargement of the company's 3QFY22 discount. The management of the company expects that the shortage in the brand supply chain may last until 1Q22.

The strategy of big stores continues to advance, and the gross sales area continues to increase. The company continues to promote the optimization of stores in stock and the optimization of new stores. By the end of November, the number of total stores has increased by a lower number than that at the end of August (the increase in the number of stores is partly due to the strategic cooperation with Skage), and the proportion of shops with more than 300 square meters continues to rise. large stores have more advantages than ordinary stores in terms of flat efficiency, discounts and operational efficiency.

The big store strategy led to a 7.0% increase in gross sales area compared with the same period last year, an increase of 3.9% from the end of August.

2HFY22 faces the challenge of a high base, with management directing it to maintain its gross profit margin for the year. Due to the year-on-year increase in sales from September 2020 to January 2021 and the high base of sales in February 2021, management expects the company's revenue growth pressure to be more significant in the second half of the fiscal year.

At the same time, it also said that it will actively communicate with the brand and guide to maintain the annual gross profit margin.
