According to Zhito Finance APP, JOY SPREADER (06988) announced that the group expects to achieve (i) revenue of no less than approximately 0.11 billion Hong Kong dollars for the year ending December 31, 2024, while the revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023, was 5.084 billion Hong Kong dollars, a year-on-year decrease of approximately 97.84%; and (ii) a net loss attributable to shareholders of approximately 1.05 billion to 1.15 billion Hong Kong dollars, compared to a net loss attributable to shareholders of 0.784 billion Hong Kong dollars for the corresponding period, representing an increase in net loss by approximately 33.90% to 46.65% compared to the corresponding period.
The Board of Directors believes that the decline in the group’s revenue and the increase in net loss attributable to shareholders this year are mainly due to the following factors: (1) At the end of 2023, the group made a strategic adjustment to its overseas e-commerce business, shifting from a capital-intensive business model of overseas trade and procurement inventory sales to a light-asset business model that provides matching trading services to suppliers and Dealers through precise marketing based on interest algorithm technology on overseas Short Video platforms, thereby reducing the capital occupied by inventory procurement and minimizing the impact of commodity price fluctuations. This year, the group facilitated overseas e-commerce transactions amounting to 1.363 billion US dollars on its self-built e-commerce platform MARTOP, representing a significant increase of 133% compared to the overseas e-commerce transaction GMV of 0.586 billion US dollars achieved in the corresponding period.
(2) After disposing of existing inventory products this year, the group suspended new inventory procurement and sales of 3C electronic consumer products under traditional trade models, instead focusing on its self-built e-commerce platform MARTOP as a transaction matching platform, optimizing and upgrading the transaction model by providing transaction leads and continuously utilizing overseas Short Video platforms for precise traffic acquisition. The company is still continuously testing new matching trading business models, and has not yet charged suppliers and Dealers commissions and service fees, so the group has not generated operational revenue related to matching transactions this year, resulting in a significant decline compared to the overseas e-commerce business sales revenue of 4.588 billion Hong Kong dollars achieved in the corresponding period.
(3) In the early stage of the transformation of the overseas e-commerce business model, the group focused on its self-built e-commerce platform MARTOP as the transaction matching platform and continued to invest funds in traffic promotion subsidies to assist the platform in precise traffic acquisition, consequently leading to the group achieving a net loss this year. The group plans to start charging suppliers a certain percentage of commission based on transaction scale from 2025, to cover the costs of traffic promotion subsidies.
