The company achieved overseas sales of 0.689 billion yuan in 24H1, an increase of 108.35% over the previous year.
The capacity utilization rate and management efficiency of the company's Southeast Asian plant have improved.

Through optimized operation management, order delivery capacity continues to improve, and the cost side continues to be optimized. The gross profit margin of 24H1's overseas sales was 27.06%, a significant increase over the previous year. New Zealand's annual production capacity of 0.04 million tons of high-quality staple foods has entered the large-scale commercial production stage, reserving orders from Australian, European and American customers, and is expected to contribute additional volume to the company's overseas business.

According to the product classification, the company achieved operating income of 2.63, 2.98, 1.90 and 80 million yuan for wet staple food, respectively, with year-on-year increases of 87.85%, 114.62%, 38.39% and 34.86%, respectively, and gross margins increased by 11.51%, 7.86%, 16.82% and 3.20%, respectively.

Increased gross margin and lower expense ratios together led to a significant improvement in the company's overall profit.
Jueyan led to the growth of its own brand, and the launch of a new staple food was successfully promoted. The company's domestic investment is focused on independent brands, reducing agency business, and maintaining rapid revenue growth in the independent brand business.

Judging from the category dimension, the company's revenue scale in the original main categories maintained rapid growth, and the new staple food products launched were quickly accepted by the market and achieved good expected results. The company will continue to expand staple food categories on the product side in the second half of the year, hold diverse online and offline activities on the marketing side to enhance user recognition and experience, and fine management on the operation side to achieve accurate marketing cost reduction and efficiency.
Company profit forecast and investment rating: We believe that the company's overseas business is steady and improving; domestic Jueyan brands and new staple foods are expected to drive a continuous increase in revenue scale and profitability. The company's net profit for 2024-2026 is estimated to be 1.58, 2.03 and 246 million yuan, respectively, EPS 0.62, 0.80 and 0.97 yuan, and PE values of 20, 15, and 13 times, maintaining the “Highly Recommended” rating.
