In Q2 2025, the figures were 768 million, 57 million, and 53 million, showing a year-on-year change of +0.2%, -25%, and -28% respectively. The strong growth in peripheral provinces indicates robust growth potential, while e-commerce and core five provinces faced short-term disruptions.

Revenue Analysis - In Q2, the core five provinces experienced a year-on-year decline of 2%, primarily due to base effects, while peripheral provinces saw a significant increase of 123%.

The product structure continues to improve, with the health product series gaining a larger share [12][12]. Profitability Analysis - The decline in Q2 profitability was mainly due to business structure and public sentiment impacts, with the net profit margin decreasing by 2.6 percentage points. The core five provinces, which contribute significantly to profits, saw a slight revenue decline, leading to an 18 percentage point drop in revenue contribution to 57%. The gross margin decreased by 1.3 percentage points, influenced by increased costs related to e-commerce warehousing. However, the comparable gross margin is expected to improve with ongoing product structure optimization [12][12].

E-commerce performance is anticipated to recover, particularly on platforms like Douyin and Tmall, with new product launches planned. The core five provinces are expected to return to normal growth rates, and the profitability in peripheral markets is projected to recover.
