2024Q2's revenue increased rapidly, and global multi-channel expansion led to growth in all categories, maintaining the “buy” rating of 2024H1 with a revenue of 9.65 billion yuan (+36.55%, same below), net profit to mother of 0.872 billion yuan (+6.36%), deducting non-net profit of 0.77 billion yuan (+40.53%). 2024Q2 revenue of 5.27 billion yuan (+42.43%), net profit due to mother of 0.56 billion yuan (+9.2%), after deducting non-net profit of 0.45 billion yuan (+50%), after deducting the high increase in non-profit is mainly the difference in profit and loss due to changes in fair value. In the long run, categories such as charging and energy storage/video/security are expected to continue to perform well under strategic focus and channel deepening. We will maintain 2024 and raise our profit forecast for 2025-2026. We expect net profit to the mother for 2024-2026 of 1.975/2.359/2.838 billion yuan (original value of 1.975/2.332/2.708 billion yuan), corresponding EPS is 3.72/4.44/5.34 yuan, and the current stock price is 17.0/14.2/ 11.8 times, brand potential has increased, and the deepening of diversified global channels is expected to drive continued growth in all categories and maintain a “buy” rating.
The growth rate of 2024Q2's offline channels increased significantly month-on-month. Global multi-channel expansion led to high growth in various categories: 2024H1 charging, energy storage/intelligent innovation/smart video products had revenue of 4.975/2.36/2.309 billion yuan respectively, +42.81%/+35.33%/+30.84% year-on-year respectively. On the one hand, the high increase in charging energy storage is the company's continuous promotion of new products and the increase in energy storage products; on the other hand, demand in the industry may be strong. You can refer to Greenlink Technology/Aohai Technology's 2024H1 charging business revenue compared to +53.5%/+57% year-on-year. Subregions: 2024H1 North America/Europe/Japan/Middle East/Mainland China/Australia/Other regions were 46.3/20.5/12.9/5.7/0.38/0.34/0.39 billion yuan, respectively, up to 40.68%/+44.6%/+21.5%/+39.17%/+39.3%/+22.91%/+15.67%, respectively. Sub-channels:
Looking at the breakdown, 2024H1 Amazon/other tripartite platforms/independent sites/offline revenue was 50.4/0.76/0.93/2.92 billion yuan respectively, +27.7%/+67.4%/+103%/+32.3% year-on-year respectively. Online third-party platforms and independent websites increased rapidly, and brand power continued to increase. 2024Q1/2024Q2 offline revenue was +22.37%/+41% year-on-year respectively.

Gross margin continued to accelerate as favorable external factors of 2024Q2 continued to accelerate. Expense ratios remained stable 2024Q1/2024Q2 gross profit margins of 45.12%/45.23%, +3.59/+0.55pct, respectively. The year-on-year increase in gross margin in a single quarter slowed or mainly due to a weakening of the positive exchange rate contribution+increase in shipping costs. The difference in the 2024H1 average exchange rate was small compared to the same period. By category, the gross margin of 2024H1 charging and energy storage/smart innovation/smart video was -0.42/+3.27/+4.91 pct year-on-year, respectively. On the cost side, the cost rates for the 2024Q1/2024Q2 period were 35.17%/33.44%, respectively, +0.76/+0.16pct, respectively. Among them, 2024Q2 sales/management/R&D/finance expenses were 21.56%/4.01%/8.12%/-0.25%, respectively, +0.06/+1.13/-0.51pct, respectively. The overall cost rate remained stable. Under the combined influence, net interest rates due to mother in 2024Q1/2024Q2 were 7.1%/10.65%, respectively, -1.99/ -3.24pct year on year; net interest rates without return to mother were 7.21%/8.54%, respectively, and -0.06/+0.43pct year on year, respectively.
Risk warning: Overseas consumer demand is falling rapidly; shipping prices are rebounding; new product expansion falls short of expectations, etc.
