Core Viewpoint - Suplay, a company specializing in IP collectibles and consumer products, has submitted its listing application with CICC and JPMorgan as joint sponsors, aiming to capitalize on its leading position in the collectible card market in China and globally [1][3]. Group 1: Company Overview - Suplay was founded in 2019 and is known for its flagship brand "Kakawo" [1]. - The company completed an A+ round of financing in 2021, receiving an investment of $8 million from miHoYo [3]. - Suplay ranks first in the Chinese collectible non-combat card market by GMV for 2024, surpassing the combined total of its second and third competitors, and is the only Chinese brand among the top five global collectible non-combat card brands [3]. Group 2: Financial Performance - For the fiscal years ending December 31 and the nine months ending September 30, Suplay reported revenues of approximately RMB 145.7 million, RMB 280.5 million, and RMB 202.8 million for 2023, 2024, and 2024 respectively, with profits attributable to equity shareholders of RMB 2.95 million, RMB 49.12 million, and RMB 35.54 million [4][5]. - The company’s revenue is projected to reach RMB 283.3 million by the end of 2025, with a gross profit of RMB 154.34 million [4].
