Group 1 - The core point of the news is that the snack giant Three Squirrels is re-entering the pet food market by establishing a subsidiary named "Anhui E Le Ge Miao Pet Food Co., Ltd." with a registered capital of 5 million RMB, focusing on pet food and related services [2][3]. - Three Squirrels previously attempted to enter the pet industry in 2020 with the brand "Yang Le Ge Mao Hai," but exited due to strategic adjustments. Now, with recovering performance, the company is investing heavily to launch a new brand "Jin Pai Nai Ba," targeting the pet food sector [3][4]. - The pet economy in China is rapidly growing, with the industry scale reaching 592.8 billion RMB in 2023 and expected to exceed 1 trillion RMB by 2028. Pet food accounts for over 50% of this market, with cat food growing faster than dog food, indicating significant opportunities for new brands [3][4]. Group 2 - The pet food market is highly competitive, with traditional brands and new entrants from various food companies. Three Squirrels has advantages in supply chain and online sales experience, but faces challenges in gaining consumer trust in pet nutrition [4][5]. - The previous attempt with "Yang Le Ge Mao Hai" achieved sales of over 2.5 million RMB during the 2020 Double Eleven shopping festival, but was ultimately transferred due to strategic changes. The success of "Jin Pai Nai Ba" remains uncertain in the saturated market [4][5]. - Three Squirrels is also diversifying into other sectors such as alcohol, prepared dishes, and daily chemicals, aiming to create a "full-category consumption ecosystem." The success of this diversification strategy is yet to be tested in the market [4][5].

Core Viewpoint - The aggressive diversification strategy of the company, which has launched multiple new brands across various sectors, aims to build a comprehensive consumer brand amidst declining growth in the snack industry [1][2]. Group 1: Financial Performance - In 2024, the company's revenue rebounded to 10.622 billion yuan, reflecting a year-on-year growth of 49.3% [2]. - Online channels contributed 7.407 billion yuan in revenue, accounting for 69.7% of total revenue, with Douyin emerging as the largest growth driver, generating 2.188 billion yuan, a staggering increase of 81.73% year-on-year [2]. - Offline distribution revenue grew by 80% to 2.641 billion yuan, representing 24.9% of total revenue, aided by the launch of the "Yifenli Convenience Store" model [2]. Group 2: Strategic Initiatives - The company is pursuing a "full-category consumer brand" strategy to create a growth moat in response to the slowing snack industry [2]. - The sub-brand "Xiaolu Lanlan" generated 794 million yuan in revenue, accounting for 7.5% of total revenue, with a year-on-year growth of 35.01% [2]. Group 3: Challenges and Risks - The company faces structural issues, including a high reliance on online sales (nearly 70%) and uneven development among sub-brands, with only "Xiaolu Lanlan" achieving scale [3][4]. - The OEM procurement amount reached 4.482 billion yuan in 2024, with over 50% of major procurement being outsourced, leading to increased quality control pressures [5]. - The company must navigate a competitive landscape in new sectors, such as sanitary products, where established players hold 70% market share, and in coffee, where it faces price competition from major brands [6]. Group 4: Conclusion - The company's aggressive diversification represents a proactive evolution during industry transformation, validating the feasibility of the "full-category consumer brand" strategy despite challenges in sub-brand incubation and quality control risks [7].
