Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Buy" rating for the company [7]. Core Views - In the short term, the company is expected to face pressure on performance due to channel adjustments, gradual retail improvement, and the recovery of franchise gross margins. However, with enhanced cost control, profit growth is anticipated to rebound in the future. In the long term, structural adjustments within the company are expected to significantly improve operational quality and profit elasticity. The company is shifting from profit elasticity driven by high retail growth to a more sustainable and robust profit elasticity driven by internal capabilities. The projected net profits for 2025, 2026, and 2027 are estimated at 200 million, 250 million, and 280 million yuan, respectively, with corresponding PE ratios of 35, 28, and 25 times [2][11].

Brand and Channel Performance - In Q2, most brands experienced revenue declines, with PB women's wear, men's wear, and Le Town down by 7.5%, 8.5%, and 13.8% respectively, while children's wear saw a slight increase of 0.2%. However, gross margins improved for most brands due to discount control. The revenue from franchise and online channels continued to decline year-on-year, while direct sales returned to positive growth with a 5.2% increase year-on-year in Q2 [11]. Cost and Profitability Analysis - The gross margin improved by 2.1 percentage points year-on-year in Q2 due to strict discount control. However, the net profit margin decreased by 4.7 percentage points to -3.8% due to negative operating leverage. The company’s operating cash flow for H1 was -260 million yuan, indicating tight cash flow but an improvement compared to Q1 [11][14].

Business Segment Analysis - The cashmere business continued to grow, with revenue increasing by 16% year-on-year. However, the revenue from fine wool yarn and wool tops decreased by 3% and 16%, respectively, leading to a slight decline in overall revenue. The new capacity from the Vietnam plant is gradually contributing to revenue, but domestic demand is weak, and external demand is cautious due to tariffs [11]. Profitability and Cost Management - The gross margin for the main business improved by 0.8 percentage points to 21.4%, driven by lower production costs and product structure optimization. However, the increase in management costs and salaries due to the gradual production ramp-up at the new plants in Vietnam and Yinchuan led to an increase in selling and administrative expense ratios by 0.2 percentage points and 0.4 percentage points, respectively. The tax rate increased by 3.1 percentage points to 16.2%, which negatively impacted the net profit margin, which only increased by 0.2 percentage points to 10.6% [11].

In the medium to long term, the company's strategy of expanding capacity and product categories is expected to continue driving growth and market share acquisition.
