Summary of the Conference Call on New Oxygen and the Medical Aesthetic Industry Industry Overview - The medical aesthetic industry experienced rapid growth from 2019 to 2022 but has faced challenges due to upstream price wars and weak downstream consumer demand in recent years. However, in 2025, there are signs of weak recovery with structural opportunities and innovative models emerging [2][4]. Company Insights - New Oxygen, a pioneer in the medical aesthetic e-commerce sector, once held an 86% market share in the medical aesthetic app market. The company was founded in 2013 and went public on NASDAQ in 2019 [2][4]. - The company has faced increased competition from internet platforms, leading to rising customer acquisition costs, which have negatively impacted revenue and profit [2][4]. Strategic Initiatives - New Oxygen is seeking to reverse its fortunes by expanding its supply chain and entering the downstream medical aesthetic institution operation sector. This includes acquiring companies like Qizhi Laser and becoming the exclusive agent for high-end products like Ellastin [1][5]. - As of mid-2025, New Oxygen has opened 32 stores under the New Oxygen Youth Clinic brand, generating total revenue of 170 million yuan [1][5]. Business Model and Performance - The New Oxygen Youth Clinic has a profitable model, with L Mall stores generating monthly revenues of 4 to 5 million yuan. The sales expense ratio is lower than traditional medical aesthetic clinics, resulting in a net profit margin superior to traditional retail [1][7]. - The clinic's customer retention is strong, with a 60% repurchase rate, a 50% referral rate, and 15% of traffic coming from organic sources [1][8]. Future Plans - New Oxygen plans to expand the number of clinics to 50 by the end of 2025, with 18 new stores expected to open in the second half of the year [1][8]. Quality Assurance and Transparency - New Oxygen ensures service quality and price transparency by tracing the qualifications of medical staff and maintaining a transparent pricing system. Prices for similar products in their clinics are at least 30% to 40% lower than market rates [1][10]. Standardization in the Industry - The medical aesthetic industry can achieve standardization, particularly in the light medical aesthetic sector, through a structured approach. New Oxygen employs a tiered management system for doctors and simplifies its product offerings to enhance standardization [11][12]. Challenges for Smaller Clinics - Smaller light medical aesthetic clinics face challenges such as traditional retail models, high customer acquisition costs, and difficulties in negotiating with suppliers. New Oxygen addresses these challenges by focusing on a light asset model and leveraging its established brand to drive traffic [14]. Conclusion - New Oxygen is positioned to capitalize on the recovery of the medical aesthetic industry through strategic expansions, a focus on quality and transparency, and a robust business model that leverages its brand equity and operational efficiencies [1][2][5][8][10].
