BRIGHT DAIRY(SH:600597) Xin Lang Cai Jing·2025-10-30 14:53Core Viewpoint - Bright Dairy, once a leader in the low-temperature milk market, is currently facing unprecedented challenges, with a continuous decline in revenue over the past three years and significant losses reported in the latest quarter [1][2]. Financial Performance - For the first three quarters of this year, Bright Dairy reported revenue of 18.231 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 0.99%, and a net profit of 872.143 million yuan, down 25.05% year-on-year. The company incurred a net loss of 130 million yuan in the third quarter [1][2]. Revenue Trends - Bright Dairy has experienced a decline in revenue for three consecutive years, with revenues of 28.215 billion yuan, 26.485 billion yuan, and 24.278 billion yuan projected for 2022, 2023, and 2024 respectively. The downward trend continues in the first three quarters of this year [1]. Product Performance - The revenue from liquid milk and dairy farming products decreased by 8.57% and 12.49% respectively, while other dairy products saw a growth of 9.91%. Revenue from the Shanghai region and other areas also declined year-on-year [2]. Market Competition - The demand for dairy products remains sluggish, with Bright Dairy's core low-temperature milk market being increasingly encroached upon by national brands such as Yili and Mengniu. Regional competitors like Junlebao and New Dairy are also putting pressure on the company's performance in East China [2]. Strategic Moves - To alleviate performance pressure, Bright Dairy has decided to sell its overseas subsidiary, New Zealand Newlight North Island assets, to an Abbott subsidiary for 170 million USD (approximately 1.2 billion yuan). This asset has been underperforming due to low capacity utilization and is expected to improve Newlight's net profit by approximately 10 to 15 million NZD in the 2026 fiscal year [2].
