(2) “TOP TOY stores” refers to the offline stores operated under the “TOP TOY” brand, including those directly operated by the Company, and those operated by third parties under the MINISO Retail Partner model.

Mr. Guofu Ye, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of MINISO, commented, “MINISO’s global footprints continue to expand steadily. As of September 30, 2024, the Group’s total number of stores reached 7,420 with a net increase of 859 stores in the first nine months of 2024, representing only one step away from our annual target of 900 to 1,100 net new stores. Both the net growth of stores of MINISO overseas and TOP TOY for the first nine months of 2024 exceeded their net growth of stores for the whole year of 2023. On the group level, revenue grew 23% year over year to RMB12.28 billion, mainly attributable to 19% growth in average store count and low-single digit same-store sales growth. We are well on track to reach our annual target.”

“In the past September, we entered into share purchase agreements to acquire 29.4% stake in Yonghui Superstores Co., Ltd. (the “Yonghui”). We believe that the retail industry will have two important trends going forward, including quality retailing and interest-driven consumption, which require enterprises to emphasize more on product innovation and consumer experience. Despite short-term macro headwinds and uncertainties, MINISO Group remains focused on our long-term strategies, especially IP strategy and globalization strategy, leveraging global store network, global design capabilities and global supply chain integration capabilities to bring joy and happiness to our consumers around the world. Meanwhile, MINISO’s core business is committed to its five-year development plan. Moving forward, MINISO Group will stick to our dividend policy of paying out no less than 50% of adjusted net profit each year. We will continue to carry out dynamic share buybacks to bring predictable returns to the Company’s shareholders.” Mr. Ye continued.

Mr. Eason Zhang, CFO of MINISO, commented, “Thanks to higher overseas revenue contribution and MINISO brand upgrade, the Company’s gross margin for the first nine months of 2024 reached 44.1%, representing 3.7 percentage points increase year over year. Overseas revenue contribution increased from 32% last year to 37% this year. With effective execution of IP strategy, each of our business segment had improvement in gross margin, especially MINISO overseas and TOP TOY both had middle to high single digit improvement. We continue to invest in strategic markets, especially the U.S. market. As of September 30, 2024, our overseas directly operated stores has more than doubled from a year ago. Despite that our overseas markets are at investment stage, our margins maintained at healthy level under effective expenses control. For the first nine months of 2024, adjusted net margin was 15.7% while adjusted EBITDA margin was 25.3%. We believe that our margins will gradually stabilize under lean operation and disciplined expense management.

MINISO Group generated RMB2.03 billion net cash from operating activities and RMB1.47 billion free cash flow for the first nine months of 2024. As of September 30, 2024, our cash position was RMB6.28 billion. Turning to capital allocation, the Company has distributed over RMB600 million cash dividends at the end of September this year. From year to date, the Company has returned about RMB1.6 billion to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks. Our capital allocation strategy will continue to balance growth of the Company and our commitment to bring stable and foreseeable returns to shareholders.”

“We published the notice of the extraordinary shareholder meeting (the “EGM”) regarding the stake transaction of Yonghui last Friday, announcing the convening of EGM on January 17, 2025. So far, the transaction is moving forward as planned and is expected to be closed during the first half of 2025. It is expected that no more than 40% of consideration for the transaction will be funded by internal financial resources. We will leverage borrowing facilities to optimize capital structure and enhance our return on capital while maintain strong cash reserves. Our financial strategy will remain disciplined in terms of budgeting, cost controls and capital allocation as we are committed to delivering stable profit and healthy cash flows.” Mr. Zhang concluded.

Unaudited Financial Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024

Revenue was RMB12,281.3 million (US$1,750.1 million), representing an increase of 22.8% year over year, primarily driven by an 18.5% year-over-year increase in average store count, and a low-single digit same-store sales growth on group level.

Revenue from mainland China increased by 14.0% to RMB7,738.4 million (US$1,102.7 million), including (i) an increase of 11.8% in revenue from MINISO’s offline stores in mainland China, which was primarily due to a 14.7% year-over-year growth in average store count, while same-store sales down mid-single digit compared to prior year’s level, and (ii) an increase of 42.5% in revenue from TOP TOY, which was powered by a mid-single digit same-store sales growth and a rapid growth in average store count.

Revenue from overseas markets increased 41.5% to RMB4,542.9 million (US$647.4 million). The year-over-year increase was primarily due to an increase of 22.5% in average store count, coupled with a high-single digit same-store sales growth. Revenue from overseas markets contributed 37.0% of the Company’s total revenue for the first nine months of 2024, compared to 32.1% for the same period in 2023.

For more information on the composition and year-over-year change of revenue, please refer to the “Unaudited Additional Information” in this press release.

Cost of sales was RMB6,861.6 million (US$977.8 million), representing an increase of 15.2% year over year.

Gross profit was RMB5,419.8 million (US$772.3 million), representing an increase of 34.1% year over year.

Gross margin was 44.1%, with an increase of 3.7 percentage points. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to (i) higher revenue contribution from overseas directly operated markets, which accounted for 19.9% of group revenue in the first nine months of 2024, compared to 14.9% in the same period of 2023 on a comparable basis(1), and (ii) improved gross margin of TOP TOY brand, due to a shift in product mix towards more profitable products.

Selling and distribution expenses were RMB2,518.5 million (US$358.9 million), increased by 61.6% year over year. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, selling and distribution expenses were RMB2,457.8 million (US$350.2 million), increased by 62.7% year over year. The year-over-year increase was mainly attributable to the Company’s investments into directly operated stores both in mainland China and overseas markets to pursue the future success of the Company’s business, especially in strategic overseas markets such as the U.S. market. For the first nine months of 2024, revenue from directly operated stores increased 103.7%, while related expenses including rental and related expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses and payroll excluding share-based compensation expenses increased 75.2%. For the first nine months of 2024, we added 18 and 184 directly operated store in mainland China and overseas markets, respectively. Promotion and advertising expenses increased 38.4%, as a percentage of revenue stabilizing at around 3% in both comparative periods. Licensing expenses increased 38.0%, due to the Company’s growing IP library and enriched offerings of IP products. Logistics expenses increased 52.3%, mainly reflecting the rising freight costs caused by the tension in international shipping.

General and administrative expenses were RMB654.8 million (US$93.3 million), increased by 33.6% year over year. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, general and administrative expenses were RMB613.1 million (US$87.4 million), increased by 28.1% year over year. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the increase in personnel-related expenses in relation to the growth of the Company’s business.

Other net income was RMB78.5 million (US$11.2 million), compared to RMB42.2 million in the same period of 2023. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to an increase in investment income in wealth management products and an increase in fair value of an investment, partially offset by a net foreign exchange loss.

Operating profit was RMB2,347.4 million (US$334.5 million), representing an increase of 14.3% year over year.

Net finance income was RMB41.9 million (US$6.0 million), compared to RMB120.1 million in the same period of 2023. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to (i) a decrease of RMB50.2 million in finance income as a result of reduced bank deposit principal and lower interest rate, and (ii) an increase of RMB28.1 million in finance costs due to an increase in lease liabilities, in line with the Company’s investment in directly operated stores.

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 September 30, 2024, which was RMB7.0176 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. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting the usefulness of such measures when analyzing MINISO’s data comparatively. MINISO encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

For more information on the non-IFRS financial measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures” set forth at the end of this press release.

Notes:

(1) “MINISO Brand” refers to the revenue generated from MINISO brand including revenue from offline stores, e-commerce and others in mainland China.

(2) “Others” refers to revenue generated from other operating segments such as “WonderLife”, which was a secondary brand targeting on lower-tier cities in mainland China, aggregated and presented as “others”. As the MINISO brand increasingly penetrated into lower-tier cities in mainland China, “WonderLife” has become marginalized.
