incident. The company released its 2023 annual report: In 2023, the company achieved total operating income of 4,049 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 16.2%; net profit of 63.34,500 yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 53.1%; of these, Q4 achieved total revenue of 974 million yuan in a single quarter, a year-on-year decrease of 2.6%, a net profit of 29.5.62 million yuan, and a net loss of 6.025 million yuan for the same period last year.

Cheese business performance was under pressure, and the decline in Q4 revenue narrowed month-on-month. By product: Cheese business performance in '23 was under pressure, with revenue -18.9% YoY (volume -17.4%, price -1.8%), of which the ready-to-eat nutrition series revenue was -23.9%. We think it may be related to supermarket channel recovery falling short of expectations and sales pressure on low-temperature cheese sticks; room temperature cheese sticks benefited from channel expansion and broken scenes to bucked the trend. Under a high base, the revenue of the household dining table series was -36.1%; the revenue of the catering industry series was +7.6% year-on-year, mainly due to the company's supply chain and specialized service advantages and the recovery of the food and beverage consumption scenario. Liquid milk/trading business revenue in '23 was -4.3%/-5.4% YoY. The 23Q4 company's revenue decline narrowed month-on-month (23Q1/Q2/Q3 revenue -20.5%/-20.2%/-18.3% year-on-year, respectively), with cheese/trade/liquid milk revenue of -20.7%/+1198.9%, respectively. Channel by channel: Distribution/direct/trade channel revenue in '23 was -15.2%/-29.2%/-5.4%, with Q4 revenue year-on-year ratio of -12.2%/-39.1%/+1198.9%, respectively. By region: North District/Central District/South District revenue in '23 was -23.8%/-9.6%/-11.7%, respectively. In 23Q4, there was a net increase of 182 dealers to 5036.

Rising costs put pressure on gross margins, and cost control frees up profit margins. Gross margin of -4.92pct/-8.30pct year-on-year in '23Q4 was 29.2%/25.0%, respectively, mainly due to rising raw material costs and exchange rate fluctuations.

The company's expense ratio remained good during the 23-year period (-2.33 pct to 28.6% year on year). Among them, the sales expense ratio was -2.06 pct to 23.2% year over year, mainly due to the company's advertising promotion/storage fee ratio -3.34 pct/-0.23 pct year on year; the management expense ratio was -1.38 pct to 3.7% year over year, mainly due to a decrease in equity incentive costs and consulting service fees. The net interest rate for the year 23 was 1.28pct to 1.6% year-on-year. The 23Q4 company achieved net profit of 295.602 million yuan, compared to -6.05525 million yuan in the same period last year, mainly benefiting from good expense control during the period. The cost rate for the 23Q4 period was -12.06 pct to 20.6%, with sales/management/R&D -9.86pct/-2.07pct/-0.98pct, respectively.

The product matrix continues to improve, and the majority shareholders have shown confidence by increasing their holdings. In '23, the company's low-temperature cheese products have been continuously iteratively upgraded, launching new organic cheese sticks that are fully organic, have high cheese content, and are naturally high in calcium; in terms of room temperature products, the company launched a variety of popular cheese snacks such as small cheese triangles and cheese pudding. Furthermore, as of March 1, 23, Mengniu's current plan to increase its holdings by a total of 6.8973 million shares, accounting for 1.34% of the company's total share capital. The increase in holdings was 125 million yuan. The majority shareholders' holdings increase their confidence in development.
