Management analysis
1. Profit slightly exceeded expectations, mainly due to the increase in exchange earnings.
2. The split is as follows:
(1) Revenue: In the first half of the year, (1) all-terrain vehicles were sold at 0.0814 million units, with revenue of 3.532 billion yuan, or -1.55%; (2) two-wheelers sold 0.1539 million units, with revenue of 3.248 billion yuan, or +41.95% year-on-year. The market share of high-displacement motorcycles reached the top.
(2) Gross profit margin: Gross margin declined in the second quarter compared to the same period, mainly due to the restructuring of four-wheeler products and the reduction in two-wheeler prices. The main driving models this year were the X8 and X10, which were both ATVs. The gross margin level is about 10 PCT lower than the SxS, but it is expected that the company will launch several SxS in the third quarter, which in turn will drive a recovery in gross margin.
(3) Expense rate: The four-wheeler inventory level in the second quarter returned to normal levels after sales promotion in the previous few quarters, so promotion expenses and sales expense rates declined. Sales/management/finance/R&D expenses in 24Q2 were 9.21%/10.7%/-1.74%/6.03%, year-on-year, -1.77PCT/+0.86PCT/+1.44PCT/+0.33PCT, and -1.19PCT/-0.7PCT/-0.41PCT/ -0.13PCT year-on-month.
(4) Others: 1) Exchange gains and losses still achieved relatively rapid growth under a high base. 24H1 was 68.1 million yuan, +50% year-on-year; 2) 24Q2 other comprehensive income was -0.1 billion yuan, mainly due to the continuous decline in KTM's stock price in the second quarter.
Profit Forecasts, Valuations, and Ratings
