中金公司 ·  Apr 15

2023 results fall short of our expectations

The company announced 2023 results: achieved revenue of 7.33 billion yuan, up 0.7% year on year, net profit of 510 million yuan, down 8.0% year on year, lower than our expectations. We believe that the main reason is that regional consumption recovery is relatively slow, and the supermarket business is clearly under pressure due to industry competition. After deducting non-net profit of 460 million yuan, an increase of 19.0% year on year. At the same time, the company plans to pay a cash dividend of 10 yuan for every 10 shares and 1 bonus share for every 10 shares, corresponding to a dividend ratio of 56.3%.

On a quarterly basis, Q1/Q2/Q3/Q4 revenue was +3.2%/+5.4%/-11.1%/+7.0% year-on-year, and net profit to mother was -8.5%/-26.6%/+18.6%/+27.6% year-on-year, after deducting non-net profit -9.0%/+15.9%/+86.5%/+174.3% year-on-year.

Development trends

1. The recovery of regional consumption was slow in 2023, and the operation of supermarkets and other business formats was under pressure. 1) By business type, department store/supermarket/home appliance chain revenue in 2023 was +1.8%/-12.7%/+42.5%, respectively. The company believes that the industry pattern tends to be scattered and decentralized, and competition is still intensifying; 2) By region, revenue in the main business regions of Dalian, Daqing, and Mudanjiang regions was +12.5%/-0.6%/-4.7%, respectively, and revenue in most regions was under pressure; 3) By channel, the company continued to close its loss-making stores in 2023, and 3 new offline stores were opened (3) Jiadashang Electric Appliances closed 6 supermarkets and department stores Stores), the total number of stores at the end of the period was 107; online channel competition also intensified. The number of registered merchants increased by 88 to 207 compared to the end of the previous year, but GMV/sales also fell 6.9%/7.0% to 37/210 million yuan, respectively.

2. Profitability recovered in 2023. The company's gross margin increased by 0.76ppt to 38.8% year on year in 2023, with department store/ supermarket/ home appliance business +2.8/+0.1/-3.2ppt to 50.1%/6.6%/15.1%, respectively. We expect the decline in gross margin of the home appliance industry mainly due to the impact of new store promotions, etc. In terms of cost ratio, the company's sales expense ratio decreased by 0.82ppt to 11.9%, management+R&D expenses decreased by 0.16ppt to 10.9%, and financial expenses also decreased by 0.06ppt to 2.0%. The overall cost reduction and efficiency results were good. The net profit margin decreased by 0.66ppt to 6.9% due to the combined impact, mainly due to the higher return on disposal of non-current assets in the previous year, after deducting the same increase of 0.96ppt to 6.2%.

3. Follow the deepening progress of asset operations. The company has certain property resource advantages in the Northeast region. It will continue to promote the renovation and upgrading of traditional old stores in 2023. The follow-up plan will focus on promoting the construction of urban parks and revitalizing vacant properties in 2024. Through the development, construction, rental and operation of its existing assets such as real estate, land, stores and empty cabinets, the company will continue to revitalize dormant resources and pay attention to the company's business transformation and asset operation progress.

Profit forecasting and valuation

As the regional consumption recovery process fell short of expectations, the company's profit forecast for 2024 was lowered by 11% to 566 million yuan, and a profit forecast of 619 million yuan for 2025 was introduced. The current stock price corresponds to 9.8/9.0 times P/E for 24/25. Maintaining an outperforming industry rating, considering the company's continued asset revitalization and optimization, the company's target price of 20 yuan is temporarily maintained, corresponding to 10.4/9.5 times P/E in 24/25, with 6% room for an increase of 6% compared to the current stock price.
