Mr. Guofu Ye, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of MINISO, commented, “We delivered a solid March Quarter to kick off 2025 and are pleased to see our revenue grow by 18.9% year over year. Our revenue growth was mainly attributable to a 9.1% revenue growth in MINISO mainland China, an acceleration from September and December quarter last year, powered by a solid recovery in same-store sales. Through our steady progress in product mix optimization and strategical store network refinement, we are confident in achieving sustainable and high-quality growth.

Revenue in MINISO overseas grew by 30.3%, with a year-over-year 3 percentage points increase in contribution to our total revenue. We are forging more holistic collaborations with our overseas partners to enhance synergies, upgrade store formats to improve operational efficiency and unlock potential in store opening space."

 

"Entering into 2025, we are facing an increasingly volatile macroeconomic environment. Yet, with over ten years’ experience of globalization, unparalleled scale and diversified footprint, we will stay resilient and agile in order to deliver long-term profitable growth." Mr. Ye continued.

 

Mr. Eason Zhang, CFO of MINISO, commented, “Gross margin for March Quarter reached 44.2%, which was the highest for the past March quarters ever, thanks to our solid performance from overseas markets and TOP TOY. Adjusted EBITDA grew by 7.5% year over year to RMB1,037.3 million, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 23.4%. Our mainland franchise segment achieved a stable operating margin year over year amid a challenging environment while our investments into new businesses will open up growth opportunities over the long term."

 

"MINISO Group remains steadfast in our consumer-centric strategy driving business transformation and market expansion through continuous innovation. We are committed to delivering high-quality, creatively designed products and services to our customers while generating sustainable value for shareholders. We maintained a strong cash position of RMB7,255.3 million as of March 31, 2025 and distributed cash dividends of US$101.4 million this April. Supplemented by year-to-date share repurchase of about RMB255.7 million, our returns to shareholders totaled RMB986.9 million. Moving forward, we will continue to exert effort on disciplined cost control and moderate budgeting, and balance both growth and our commitment to bringing stable and foreseeable returns to shareholders." Mr. Zhang concluded.

 

Financial Results for the March Quarter

 

Revenue was RMB4,427.0 million (US$610.1 million), representing an increase of 18.9% year over year, primarily driven by an 16.5% year-over-year increase in average store count.

 

Revenue from MINISO brand increased by 16.5% to RMB4,085.8 million (US$563.0 million), driven by (i) an increase of 9.1% in mainland China, and (ii) an increase of 30.3% in overseas markets. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to an increase of 24.6% in average store count in overseas. Overseas revenue contributed to 39.0% of revenue from MINISO brand, compared to 34.8% in the same period of 2024.

 

Revenue from TOP TOY brand increased by 58.9% to RMB339.9 million (US$46.8 million), primarily powered by its rapid growth in average store count.

Other income was RMB3.0 million (US$0.4 million), compared to RMB3.6 million in the same period of 2024.

 

Selling and distribution expenses were RMB1,021.2 million (US$140.7 million), increased by 46.7% year over year. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, selling and distribution expenses were RMB1,012.8 million (US$139.6 million), increased by 50.7% year over year. The year-over-year increase was mainly attributable to the Company’s investments into directly operated stores to pursue the future success of the Company’s business. As of March 31, 2025, total number of directly operated stores in overseas markets was 608, compared with 327 in the same period last year. In the March Quarter, revenue from directly operated stores has increased 85.5% year over year, while related expenses including rental and related expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses together with payroll excluding share-based compensation expenses increased 71.4%. Licensing expenses increased by 39.6%, mainly attributable to our growing IP library and enriched offerings of IP products, as a percentage of revenue stabilizing at around 2% in both comparative periods. Logistics expenses increased by 31.3% year over year.

 

General and administrative expenses were RMB242.1 million (US$33.4 million), increased by 26.6% year over year. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, general and administrative expenses were RMB225.6 million (US$31.1 million), increased by 22.3% year over year. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the increase of personnel-related expenses in relation to the growth of the Company’s business.

 

Other net income was RMB20.8 million (US$2.9 million), compared to RMB14.8 million in the same period of 2024. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to an increase in investment income in wealth management products, and a net foreign exchange gain compared with a net foreign exchange loss in the same period last year.

 

Operating profit was RMB709.8 million (US$97.8 million), compared with RMB743.3 million in the same period last year.

 

Net finance cost was RMB49.0 million (US$6.8 million), compared to net finance income of RMB25.0 million in the same period of 2024. The year-over-year increase in finance cost was due to (i) increased interest expenses in relation to the Equity Linked Securities and the bank loans used for acquisition of the equity interest of Yonghui Superstores Co., Ltd*, both of which have been excluded in non-IFRS financial measures(1), and (ii) increased interest expenses on lease liabilities corresponding to the Company’s investment in directly operated stores.

 

Other expenses was RMB91.1 million (US$12.6 million), including loss from fair value change of derivatives under mark-to-market impact and issuance cost of derivatives, which is in relation to the Equity Linked Securities and has been excluded in non-IFRS financial measures(1).

 

Profit for the period was RMB416.5 million (US$57.4 million), compared to RMB586.0 million in the same period of 2024. Excluding other expenses and interest expenses related to issuance of the Equity Linked Securities, and interest expenses related to the bank loans used for acquisition of the equity interest in Yonghui Superstores Co., Ltd*, profit for the period would have been RMB562.3 million (US$77.5 million).

 

Adjusted net profit(1) was RMB587.2 million (US$80.9 million), compared to RMB616.9 million in the same period last year.

Exchange Rate

 

The U.S. dollar (US$) amounts disclosed in this press release, except for those transaction amounts that were actually settled in U.S. dollars, are presented solely for the convenience of the readers. The conversion of Renminbi (RMB) into US$ in this press release is based on the exchange rate set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as of March 31, 2025, which was RMB7.2567 to US$1.0000. The percentages stated in this press release are calculated based on the RMB amounts.

 

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

 

In evaluating the business, MINISO considers and uses adjusted net profit, adjusted net margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted basic and diluted net earnings per share and adjusted basic and diluted net earnings per ADS as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. The presentation of these non-IFRS financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS. MINISO defines adjusted net profit as profit for the period excluding equity-settled share-based payment expenses, gain or loss from fair value change of derivatives, issuance cost of derivatives and interest expenses related to equity linked securities and interest expenses related to the bank loans used for acquisition of the equity interest in Yonghui Superstores Co., Ltd*. MINISO calculates adjusted net margin by dividing adjusted net profit by revenue for the same period. MINISO defines adjusted EBITDA as adjusted net profit plus depreciation and amortization, finance costs excluding interest expenses related to equity linked securities and interest expenses related to the bank loans used for acquisition of the equity interest in Yonghui Superstores Co., Ltd* and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA margin is computed by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue for the period. MINISO computes adjusted basic and diluted net earnings per ADS by dividing adjusted net profit attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company by the number of ADSs represented by the number of ordinary shares used in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation on an IFRS basis. MINISO computes adjusted basic and diluted net earnings per share in the same way as it calculates adjusted basic and diluted net earnings per ADS, except that it uses the number of ordinary shares used in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation on an IFRS basis as the denominator instead of the number of ADSs represented by these ordinary shares.

MINISO presents these non-IFRS financial measures because they are used by the management to evaluate its operating performance and formulate business plans. These non-IFRS financial measures enable the management to assess its operating results without considering the impacts of the aforementioned non-cash and other adjustment items that MINISO does not consider to be indicative of its operating performance in the future. Accordingly, MINISO believes that the use of these non-IFRS financial measures provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same manner as the management and board of directors.

 

These non-IFRS financial measures are not defined under IFRS and are not presented in accordance with IFRS. These non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using these non-IFRS financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect MINISO’s operations. Further, these non-IFRS financial measures may differ from the non-IFRS information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.

 

These non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to profit, net profit margin, basic and diluted earnings per share and basic and diluted earnings per ADS, as applicable, or any other measures of performance or as indicators of MINISO’s operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review MINISO’s historical non-IFRS financial measures in light of the most directly comparable IFRS measures, as shown below. The non-IFRS financial measures presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting the usefulness of such measures when analyzing MINISO’s data comparatively. MINISO encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

 

For more information on the non-IFRS financial measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures” set forth at the end of this press release.

Our revenue growth was mainly attributable to a 9.1% revenue growth in MINISO mainland China, an acceleration from September and December quarter last year, powered by a solid recovery in same-store sales. Through our steady progress in product mix optimization and strategical store network refinement, we are confident in achieving sustainable and high-quality growth.

 

Revenue in MINISO overseas grew by 30.3%, with a year-over-year 3 percentage points increase in contribution to our total revenue. We are forging more holistic collaborations with our overseas partners to enhance synergies, upgrade store formats to improve operational efficiency and unlock potential in store opening space.”

 

“Entering into 2025, we are facing an increasingly volatile macroeconomic environment. Yet, with over ten years’ experience of globalization, unparalleled scale and diversified footprint, we will stay resilient and agile in order to deliver long-term profitable growth.” Mr. Ye continued.

Mr. Eason Zhang, CFO of MINISO, commented, “Gross margin for March Quarter reached 44.2%, which was the highest for the past March quarters ever, thanks to our solid performance from overseas markets and TOP TOY. Adjusted EBITDA grew by 7.5% year over year to RMB1,037.3 million, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 23.4%. Our mainland franchise segment achieved a stable operating margin year over year amid a challenging environment while our investments into new businesses will open up growth opportunities over the long term.”

 

“MINISO Group remains steadfast in our consumer-centric strategy driving business transformation and market expansion through continuous innovation. We are committed to delivering high-quality, creatively designed products and services to our customers while generating sustainable value for shareholders. We maintained a strong cash position of RMB7,255.3 million as of March 31, 2025 and distributed cash dividends of US$101.4 million this April. Supplemented by year-to-date share repurchase of about RMB255.7 million, our returns to shareholders totaled RMB986.9 million. Moving forward, we will continue to exert effort on disciplined cost control and moderate budgeting, and balance both growth and our commitment to bringing stable and foreseeable returns to shareholders.” Mr. Zhang concluded.

The year-over-year increase was primarily due to an increase of 24.6% in average store count in overseas.

Revenue from TOP TOY brand increased by 58.9% to RMB339.9 million (US$46.8 million), primarily powered by its rapid growth in average store count.

Gross profit was RMB1,958.0 million (US$269.8 million), representing an increase of 21.1% year over year.

 

Gross margin reached 44.2%, representing an increase of 0.8 percentage point. The year-over-year increase in gross margin was primarily due to (i) higher revenue contribution of MINISO brand from overseas markets, (ii) higher gross margin of TOP TOY due to a shift in revenue mix towards more profitable products.

 

Other income was RMB3.0 million (US$0.4 million), compared to RMB3.6 million in the same period of 2024.

 

Selling and distribution expenses were RMB1,021.2 million (US$140.7 million), increased by 46.7% year over year. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, selling and distribution expenses were RMB1,012.8 million (US$139.6 million), increased by 50.7% year over year. The year-over-year increase was mainly attributable to the Company’s investments into directly operated stores to pursue the future success of the Company’s business. As of March 31, 2025, total number of directly operated stores in overseas markets was 608, compared with 327 in the same period last year. In the March Quarter, revenue from directly operated stores has increased 85.5% year over year, while related expenses including rental and related expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses together with payroll excluding share-based compensation expenses increased 71.4%. Licensing expenses increased by 39.6%, mainly attributable to our growing IP library and enriched offerings of IP products, as a percentage of revenue stabilizing at around 2% in both comparative periods. Logistics expenses increased by 31.3% year over year.

 

General and administrative expenses were RMB242.1 million (US$33.4 million), increased by 26.6% year over year. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, general and administrative expenses were RMB225.6 million (US$31.1 million), increased by 22.3% year over year. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the increase of personnel-related expenses in relation to the growth of the Company’s business.

 

Other net income was RMB20.8 million (US$2.9 million), compared to RMB14.8 million in the same period of 2024. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to an increase in investment income in wealth management products, and a net foreign exchange gain compared with a net foreign exchange loss in the same period last year.

 

Operating profit was RMB709.8 million (US$97.8 million), compared with RMB743.3 million in the same period last year.

Net finance cost was RMB49.0 million (US$6.8 million), compared to net finance income of RMB25.0 million in the same period of 2024. The year-over-year increase in finance cost was due to (i) increased interest expenses in relation to the Equity Linked Securities and the bank loans used for acquisition of the equity interest of Yonghui Superstores Co., Ltd*, both of which have been excluded in non-IFRS financial measures(1), and (ii) increased interest expenses on lease liabilities corresponding to the Company’s investment in directly operated stores.

 

Other expenses was RMB91.1 million (US$12.6 million), including loss from fair value change of derivatives under mark-to-market impact and issuance cost of derivatives, which is in relation to the Equity Linked Securities and has been excluded in non-IFRS financial measures(1).

 

Profit for the period was RMB416.5 million (US$57.4 million), compared to RMB586.0 million in the same period of 2024. Excluding other expenses and interest expenses related to issuance of the Equity Linked Securities, and interest expenses related to the bank loans used for acquisition of the equity interest in Yonghui Superstores Co., Ltd*, profit for the period would have been RMB562.3 million (US$77.5 million).

Exchange Rate

 

The U.S. dollar (US$) amounts disclosed in this press release, except for those transaction amounts that were actually settled in U.S. dollars, are presented solely for the convenience of the readers. The conversion of Renminbi (RMB) into US$ in this press release is based on the exchange rate set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as of March 31, 2025, which was RMB7.2567 to US$1.0000. The percentages stated in this press release are calculated based on the RMB amounts.

 

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

 

In evaluating the business, MINISO considers and uses adjusted net profit, adjusted net margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted basic and diluted net earnings per share and adjusted basic and diluted net earnings per ADS as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. The presentation of these non-IFRS financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS. MINISO defines adjusted net profit as profit for the period excluding equity-settled share-based payment expenses, gain or loss from fair value change of derivatives, issuance cost of derivatives and interest expenses related to equity linked securities and interest expenses related to the bank loans used for acquisition of the equity interest in Yonghui Superstores Co., Ltd*. MINISO calculates adjusted net margin by dividing adjusted net profit by revenue for the same period. MINISO defines adjusted EBITDA as adjusted net profit plus depreciation and amortization, finance costs excluding interest expenses related to equity linked securities and interest expenses related to the bank loans used for acquisition of the equity interest in Yonghui Superstores Co., Ltd*. and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA margin is computed by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue for the period. MINISO computes adjusted basic and diluted net earnings per ADS by dividing adjusted net profit attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company by the number of ADSs represented by the number of ordinary shares used in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation on an IFRS basis. MINISO computes adjusted basic and diluted net earnings per share in the same way as it calculates adjusted basic and diluted net earnings per ADS, except that it uses the number of ordinary shares used in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation on an IFRS basis as the denominator instead of the number of ADSs represented by these ordinary shares.

MINISO presents these non-IFRS financial measures because they are used by the management to evaluate its operating performance and formulate business plans. These non-IFRS financial measures enable the management to assess its operating results without considering the impacts of the aforementioned non-cash and other adjustment items that MINISO does not consider to be indicative of its operating performance in the future. Accordingly, MINISO believes that the use of these non-IFRS financial measures provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same manner as the management and board of directors.

 

These non-IFRS financial measures are not defined under IFRS and are not presented in accordance with IFRS. These non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using these non-IFRS financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect MINISO’s operations. Further, these non-IFRS financial measures may differ from the non-IFRS information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.

 

These non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to profit, net profit margin, basic and diluted earnings per share and basic and diluted earnings per ADS, as applicable, or any other measures of performance or as indicators of MINISO’s operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review MINISO’s historical non-IFRS financial measures in light of the most directly comparable IFRS measures, as shown below. The non-IFRS financial measures presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting the usefulness of such measures when analyzing MINISO’s data comparatively. MINISO encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

 

For more information on the non-IFRS financial measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures” set forth at the end of this press release.
