Ausnutria: Adjusted Channel Strategies in Response to Market Changes and Committed to Long-Term Development

HONG KONG, Jul 4, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Ausnutria Dairy (1717) issued an announcement yesterday to inform the Company's shareholders and potential investors that the Group expects to record a notable year-on-year ("YoY") decrease in revenue and net profits for the six months ended 30 June 2022.

The Group's revenue for the 1H 2022 is anticipated to achieve approximately RMB3,350 million to RMB3,500 million, representing a YoY decrease of 18.0% to 21.6%. The Group also expects to record the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company for the 1H 2022 in the range of RMB95.0 million to RMB160.0 million, representing a YoY decrease of 73.1% to 84.0%. Such decrease is mainly attributable to the decrease in revenue from the Own-branded Cow Milk Powder, owing to the Group's active adjustment of distribution channels in response to market changes as well as the macro-environmental factors.

Due to lower birth rate in Mainland China and stringent anti-epidemic measures in some regions, the infant formula industry faced unprecedented challenges in 1H 2022. According to AC Nielsen, the industry's sales level for the period from January to April 2022 decreased by 4.4% YoY, and the sales volume decreased by 6.2% YoY, showing an overall downward trend. However, benefiting from Hyproca 1897's outstanding product quality and successful brand-building efforts over the years, at the retail level, Ausnutria's market share in term of sales maintained a steady growth in 1H 2022. Data from the same market research revealed that the market share of Hyproca 1897 for the period ended 30 April 2022 increased YoY by 0.5 percentage points, and revenue generated from Kabrita still outperformed the market.

With a compound annual growth rate ("CAGR") of 34.1% for the last five years, the Group's Own-branded Cow Milk Powder has experienced significant growth since its establishment. The Hyproca 1897 business unit recorded an even sharper five-year CAGR of 61.7%. The estimated decrease in revenue for 1H 2022 is mainly due to the provision of products with better shelf life and of higher quality to customers, as well as the active adjustments made to reduce inventory pressure of major distributors and channel partners. Since the end of 2021, the Group has been enforcing more stringent control over the total inventory level of its distribution channel by slowing down the delivery of the Own-branded Cow Milk Powder to distributors. Indeed, our Own-branded Goat Milk Powder experienced a short-term and one-off proactive adjustments in its distribution channel in 2021. The results showed the Group's channel management, distributor co-operation and brand power are strengthening and becoming more resilient. The Own-branded Goat Milk Powder in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC") resumed double-digit YoY growth in 2021. Furthermore, the adjustment is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2022. With the adoption of channel adjustments and overall improvement in products, branding and servicing, the Group is confident that Hyproca 1897 will fully return to solid growth in 2H 2022.

Regular improvements with foresight planning are the key to staggering long-term results. The Group prioritizes the long-term development principle in the Company's growth through carrying out business activities based on the needs of consumers and distributors while pursuing the development of a healthy industry ecosystem. The Group believes inventory pressure can be reduced by active adjustments and collaboration with distributors. Consumer rights and distributors' confidence can hence be protected and enhanced respectively, as the Company lays the foundation for long-term development and brings more far-reaching returns to shareholders.

It currently supplies in excess of 1,300 food ingredients to more than 480 customers. Leveraging the relaxation of social distancing measures and 2021 Consumption Voucher Scheme by Hong Kong government, the local consumer sentiment and operating environment in the catering industry gradually improved. Benefitting from an increase in orders with signs of revival in the food and beverage sector, the revenue of the Group recorded remarkable growth prior to the outbreak of the fifth wave of COVID-19 in Hong Kong. Total revenue of the year increased by approximately 19.7% year-on-year to approximately HK$127.7 million, with gross profit and gross profit margin of approximately HK$18.7 million (Year ended 31 March 2021: HK$13.2 million) and 14.6% (Year ended 31 March 2021: 12.4%) respectively. However, in support of its business development and expansion, higher operating expenses were incurred during the year under review, among which were legal and professional fees accrued in relation to the general offer. A provision for expected credit losses of approximately HK$5.4 million was recognised following the assessment of the credit history of its customers and market conditions during the year under review, loss for the year of approximately HK$11.0 million was subsequently recorded. The Board does not recommend the payment of a final dividend for the financial year (Year ended 31 March 2021: Nil).

In May 2022, the Group established its Greater Bay Area headquarters in Shenzhen's Nanshan district, marking its official debut in the high-potential Greater Bay Area market. At the same time, the Group announced that it will double its effort to develop three main businesses including fresh food supply, retail and catering, as well as environmental protection and technology, grasping opportunities and actively enhancing its brand recognition in the Greater Bay Area, in order to expand its customer base and market share while enhancing diversity in business and maintaining its competitiveness.

With regards to fresh food supply business, the Group will capitalise on its advantages in Hong Kong supply chain business, exercising superior task management in respect of procurement, orders, inventory, receipt and delivery, boosting efficiency to deliver fresh ingredients to customers in a safe, efficient and cost-effective manner. At the same time, the Group plans to replicate its successful experience in the local market in the Greater Bay Area market and also identify potential business partners and explore opportunities in this new market to expedite its development, by working with leading partners and efficiently sharing resources, in hopes of grasping the huge demand of the Greater Bay Area market and expanding income source.

In addition, the Group will actively grow its downstream business, including retail- and catering- related business. The Group strives to seize the business opportunities of the retail and catering industry in the Greater Bay Area, further expanding its restaurant network to other cities and its catering business territory in the Greater Bay Area. Leveraging its advantages of the having a whole-industry supply chain that includes upstream, midstream and downstream businesses, the Group will open more restaurants featuring fresh ingredients and gradually establish its food and beverage brand "Wantian Catering". Recently, the Group has strategically opened two restaurants named "Hong Kong Style Seafood Hot Pot Restaurant" and "Korean Seafood BBQ Restaurant" featuring fresh ingredients in Zhongshan city, Guangdong Province. The Group will actively enhance its brand recognition in the Greater Bay Area to expand its customer base and market share.

In environmental protection and technology business, the Group actively supports the national development approach of "modern agricultural technology and environmental protection", integrating agricultural technology and green environmental protection, utilising available rooftop for farming and increasing the urban green area. This enables the Group to promote the idea of green city with the supplies of "safe vegetables", and also promote the concept of green education to enterprises and schools in the Greater Bay Area, thus supporting the region's sustainable development.

The Group will continue to adopt its multi-pronged approach to accelerate the business development in the Greater Bay Area. Subsequent to the establishment of its headquarters in the Greater Bay Area, the Group officially opened its Zhongshan Branch this month. On 23 June 2022, a grand opening and unveiling ceremony was held in its Zhongshan Branch with the presence of Mr. HOOY Kok Wai, Chairman of the Board and Executive Director; and Mr. ZHONG Xueyong, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of China Wantian. The establishment of Zhongshan Branch signifies that Zhongshan, Guangdong province will become the Group's regional headquarters in the Zhuhai-Zhongshan-Jiangmen Economic Circle. The Group is also optimistic about the business prospects of Zhongshan, Guangdong Province, striving to embark its three main businesses from Zhongshan, Guangdong Province and gradually expand its businesses to the Greater Bay Area market.

Looking ahead, following the phased easing of social gathering restrictions by Hong Kong government, the catering business environment has improved significantly. The Group expects its business in the city to develop steadily. At the same time, the role of Group's Hong Kong headquarters as a financial centre can provide full support as a strong backing to its Shenzhen headquarters. As the Chinese economy is expected to recover rapidly in the post-pandemic era, the Group's Greater Bay Area business will become increasingly important. In the long run, the business in the Greater Bay Area is expected to bring stable and sustainable income to the Group and poised to become the key growth engine for the Group's business. The Group officially changed its Chinese and English name respectively to "China Wantian Holdings Limited" in December 2021, manifesting its adjustment in business strategies and proactive rejuvenation of corporate image, which fosters the future business development of the Group.

The Group's management expressed that the Greater Bay Area, being one of China's most open and economically vital regions, is of great importance for the nation's continued development. With its huge market, unique regional advantages, open trade environment and dynamic industry structure, the Greater Bay Area will create unprecedented development opportunities for the Group. The establishment of the Group's Shenzhen headquarters is the first part of its business development strategy for the Greater Bay Area. In the future, the Group will focus on developing three main businesses in this market, including fresh food supply, retail and catering, as well as environmental protection and technology. The Group will establish a whole-industry supply chain that includes upstream, midstream and downstream businesses in the Greater Bay Area, and boost its market share by leveraging its unique competitive advantages. The management believe that the three main business initiatives, with their strong synergies, will open up unique opportunities and facilitate the establishment of a leading green brand in the Greater Bay Area.

With such attributes and support of new media marketing on including Xiaohongshu, Douyin, Kuaishou and Weibo, the series has become a hot choice on the Internet.

Dynasty's products typically carry on the bottle the "DYNASTY" brand name. To strengthen brand awareness, the Group has launched a "Chinese style" edition showing its name in Chinese, to bring home its position as a domestic grape wine brand and also to attract mainstream e-commerce consumers who love what China makes and favors. Dynasty plans to promote the series via e-commerce channels and, on top of presence on mainstream e-commerce platforms, efforts will be made to exploit new retail channels using such supplementary promotional means as live streaming or videos.

In recent years, Dynasty has been actively pursuing innovation, embracing the "5+4+N" product strategy, with "N" standing for developing various customized products and continuously creating new products to meet the diverse needs of different Chinese consumer groups. The Group's product upgrade in 2022 entailing the launch of new products more convenient to enjoy, young and chic, and agreeing with the crave for all things China, can help invigorate the brand, strengthen the deployment of products for young consumers, as well as consolidate the image of Dynasty as a representative domestic grape wine brand.
