Mr. Guofu Ye, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of MINISO, commented, "The year of 2024 marks the first year of our five-year strategic plan. I am pleased to see that in the past six months, all of our businesses have made firm progress in accordance with the five-year strategic plan and our performance has met the expectations at the beginning of the year. During the reporting period, our footprints in overseas markets continued to expand. Meanwhile, we achieved the milestone of 7,000 stores globally, and it has been less than one year since we achieved the milestone of 6,000 stores. In the First Half of 2024, we had 502 net new stores at the group level, including 266 net new MINISO stores in overseas markets and 47 net new TOP TOY stores, both marking the fastest store opening paces during the first half of a year. MINISO in overseas markets and TOP TOY also maintained a double-digit same-store sales growth, acting as growth engines of the Company. We had 189 net new MINISO stores in mainland China in the First Half of 2024, and same-store sales of MINISO in mainland China recovered to 98.3% of the prior year’s level, representing MINISO’s industrial leading position and robust growth. As a result, revenue increased by 25% to RMB7.76 billion for the First Half of 2024, including a 7% same-store sales growth and a 19% average store count expansion."
"Despite short-term headwind and uncertainties brought by the macro environment, MINISO Group will still steadfastly focus on our long-term strategy, adhering to "Affordability", "Globalization" and "Product Innovation (IP design)". We will always uphold our "Happy Philosophy" and target to become the world’s No.1 IP design retail group, maintaining strategic focus and moving toward our five-year strategic goals. Meanwhile, we are committed to providing competitive career development opportunities for employees and bringing long-term and sustainable return to shareholders." Mr. Ye continued.
Mr. Eason Zhang, CFO of MINISO, commented, "Thanks to our ongoing brand upgrade and increasing overseas revenue contribution, gross margin for the First Half of 2024 reached 43.7%, with a 4.1 percentage point increase year over year. Even though we are still at an investment stage in overseas markets, we have managed to maintain profitability at a healthy level under our effective cost control measures. This is evidenced by an 18% year-over-year increase in adjusted net profit and a 26% year-over-year increase in adjusted EBITDA. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, adjusted net margin would have been 16.2% for the First Half of 2024, compared with 16.1% for the same period of last year, implying our good profitability under scalable growth.
Our financial strategy will continue to remain disciplined in terms of budgeting, cost controls and allocation of capital as we commit to delivering stable profit and healthy cash flows. Our targets for the year of 2024 remain unchanged from our expectations at the beginning of the year, revenue is expected to increase 20% to 30% on year-over-year basis, and adjusted net profit target is RMB2.8 billion or higher."
"Our capital allocation strategy will also continue to balance fast growth and our commitment to bring stable and foreseeable returns to shareholders. The Board of the Company has approved an interim cash dividend for the First Half of 2024, with a total amount of approximately RMB621 million. Upon the payment of the interim dividend, the Company will have returned RMB1.4 billion in cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases from year to date. Since 2020, we will have returned RMB3.6 billion to shareholders upon the payment of the interim dividend, accounting for 62% of adjusted net profit accumulated from 2020 until the First half of 2024. We are confident in accomplishing our full-year business plan and five-year strategy and believe that our share price has been trading below its intrinsic value. Accordingly, the Board of the Company has approved a share repurchase program to make the best of the general mandate granted at its annual general meeting held in June 2024, under which the Company may repurchase its shares and/or ADSs in the next 12 months not exceeding 10% of the total outstanding shares and execute share repurchases in the open market subject to market conditions. We believe that the share repurchase program is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole and creates value for shareholders." Mr. Zhang concluded.
Interim Dividend Declaration
On August 30, 2024, the Company’s board of directors approved the distribution of an interim cash dividend in the amount of US$0.2744 per American Depositary Share ("ADS") or US$0.0686 per ordinary share, to holders of ADSs and ordinary shares of record as of the close of business on September 13, 2024, New York Time and Beijing/Hong Kong Time, respectively. The ex-dividend date will be September 12, 2024. The payment date is expected to be September 23, 2024 for holders of ordinary shares and September 27, 2024 for holders of ADSs. The aggregate amount of cash dividend to be paid is approximately US$85.5 million (RMB621.3 million at an exchange rate of RMB7.2672 to US$1.0000), which is approximately 50% of the Company’s adjusted net profit for the First Half of 2024 and will be distributed from additional paid-in capital and settled by a cash distribution.
For holders of ordinary shares, in order to qualify for the interim cash dividend, all valid documents for the transfer of ordinary shares accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged for registration with the Company’s Hong Kong share registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong no later than 4:30 P.M. on September 13, 2024 (Beijing/Hong Kong Time).

Revenue from mainland China increased by 17.2% to RMB5,026.7 million (US$691.7 million), including (i) an increase of 16.5% in revenue from MINISO’s offline stores in mainland China, which was primarily due to a 16.0% year-over-year growth in average store count, while same-store sales were 98.3% of the prior year’s level, and (ii) an increase of 37.9% in revenue from TOP TOY, which was primarily powered by a strong same-store sales growth of 13.6% and a rapid growth in average store count.

Selling and distribution expenses were RMB1,522.1 million (US$209.4 million), increased by 65.8% year over year. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, selling and distribution expenses were RMB1,480.6 million (US$203.7million), increased by 66.4% year over year.

In the First Half of 2024, revenue from directly operated stores increased 111.4%, while related expenses including rental and related expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses and payroll excluding share-based compensation expenses increased 82.7%.

Net finance income was RMB34.0 million (US$4.7 million), compared to RMB62.3 million in the same period of 2023.

Exchange Rate
The U.S. dollar (US$) amounts disclosed in this press release, except for those transaction amounts that were actually settled in U.S. dollars, are presented solely for the convenience of the readers. The conversion of Renminbi (RMB) into US$ in this press release is based on the exchange rate set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as of June 28, 2024, which was RMB7.2672 to US$1.0000. The percentages stated in this press release are calculated based on the RMB amounts.
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
In evaluating the business, MINISO considers and uses adjusted net profit, adjusted net margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted basic and diluted net earnings per share and adjusted basic and diluted net earnings per ADS as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. The presentation of these non-IFRS financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS. MINISO defines adjusted net profit as profit for the period excluding equity-settled share-based payment expenses. MINISO calculates adjusted net margin by dividing adjusted net profit by revenue for the same period. MINISO defines adjusted EBITDA as adjusted net profit plus depreciation and amortization, finance costs and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA margin is computed by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue for the period. MINISO computes adjusted basic and diluted net earnings per ADS by dividing adjusted net profit attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company by the number of ADSs represented by the number of ordinary shares used in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation on an IFRS basis. MINISO computes adjusted basic and diluted net earnings per share in the same way as it calculates adjusted basic and diluted net earnings per ADS, except that it uses the number of ordinary shares used in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation on an IFRS basis as the denominator instead of the number of ADSs represented by these ordinary shares.
MINISO presents these non-IFRS financial measures because they are used by the management to evaluate its operating performance and formulate business plans. These non-IFRS financial measures enable the management to assess its operating results without considering the impacts of the aforementioned non-cash and other adjustment items that MINISO does not consider to be indicative of its operating performance in the future. Accordingly, MINISO believes that the use of these non-IFRS financial measures provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same manner as the management and board of directors.
These non-IFRS financial measures are not defined under IFRS and are not presented in accordance with IFRS. These non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using these non-IFRS financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect MINISO’s operations. Further, these non-IFRS financial measures may differ from the non-IFRS information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.
These non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to profit, net profit margin, basic and diluted earnings per share and basic and diluted earnings per ADS, as applicable, or any other measures of performance or as indicators of MINISO’s operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review MINISO’s historical non-IFRS financial measures in light of the most directly comparable IFRS measures, as shown below. The non-IFRS financial measures presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
