Core Viewpoint - Mandi Inc., a leading company in China's hair loss treatment sector, has submitted its prospectus to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for an IPO, attracting significant market attention. However, multiple hidden risks related to product structure, R&D capabilities, and financial health may hinder its sustainable growth post-listing and affect market valuation [1]. Group 1: Company Overview - Mandi Inc. is a leading consumer pharmaceutical company in China, focusing on skin health and weight management solutions, particularly in the hair health sector. The company's flagship product, the Mandi® series of minoxidil hair loss treatment products, has ranked first in retail sales for ten consecutive years, holding approximately 57% and 71% market shares in the hair loss and minoxidil markets, respectively, as of 2024 [2]. Group 2: Financial Performance - The company has shown revenue and net profit growth in recent years, with revenues of RMB 980 million, RMB 1.23 billion, and RMB 1.45 billion projected for 2022-2024, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.7%. Net profits are expected to reach RMB 200 million, RMB 340 million, and RMB 390 million during the same period, with a CAGR of 39.1% [3][4]. - In the first half of 2025, revenue further increased to RMB 743 million, a year-on-year growth of 20.2%, while net profit reached RMB 170 million, up 64% year-on-year [3]. Group 3: Product Dependency and Risks - Mandi Inc.'s revenue structure is heavily reliant on minoxidil hair loss treatment products, with sales from the Mandi® series accounting for 91.7%, 92.3%, 92.1%, and 92.4% of total sales from 2022 to the first half of 2025, indicating a lack of diversification in its product matrix [4]. - The company's gross margin has declined from 82.7% in 2024 to 81.1% in the first half of 2025, while net margin decreased from 26.8% to 23.4%, reflecting increased market competition and cost pressures [5][10]. Group 4: R&D and Competitive Landscape - R&D investment has significantly decreased, with only RMB 19.5 million spent in the first half of 2025, a 67% drop from RMB 59.8 million in the same period of 2024. This reduction poses a risk to the development of new products in acne treatment and weight management, where competition is intensifying [7]. - The company faces competition from major players in the acne and weight management sectors, which may hinder the progress of its new product pipelines [7]. Group 5: Liquidity and Financial Health - Mandi Inc. declared a substantial dividend of RMB 770 million in the first half of 2025, exceeding the total dividends paid in the previous three years, leading to a significant decline in liquidity ratios. The current ratio fell from 4.3 at the end of 2024 to 1.0, indicating heightened short-term debt repayment risks [9]. - As of June 30, 2025, the company's net liquid assets were only RMB 400,000, a drastic reduction from RMB 595 million at the end of 2024, with RMB 670 million in dividends still payable against a cash balance of RMB 110 million [9]. Group 6: Inventory Management - The company's inventory has been on the rise, reaching RMB 70 million, RMB 110 million, RMB 120 million, and RMB 140 million from 2022 to the first half of 2025, while inventory turnover days have increased, indicating a slowdown in sales and potential inventory devaluation risks [10].
