(“Super Hi” or the “Company”), a leading Chinese cuisine restaurant
brand operating Haidilao hot pot restaurants in the international
market, today announced its unaudited financial results for the
second quarter of FY2024 ended June 30, 2024.
Second Quarter 2024 Highlights
- Revenue was
US$183.3 million, representing an increase of 12.5% from US$163.0
million in the same period of 2023.
- In the second quarter of 2024, the
Company opened 4 new Haidilao restaurants and closed 1 restaurant
in Southeast Asia that had been underperforming for a prolonged
period, resulting in an increase of 3 net new Haidilao
restaurants. Total number of Haidilao restaurants expanded
from 119 as of March 31, 2024 to 122 as of June 30, 2024.
- Total table turnover
rate1 and same-store table
turnover rate2 were both 3.8 times per
day, compared to 3.3 times per day in the same period of 2023.
- Had over 7.2 million
total guest visits, representing
an increase of 14.3% from 6.3 million in the same period of
2023.
- Same-store sales
growth3 was 6.6%.
Ms. Yang Lijuan, CEO & Executive Director of Super Hi,
commented, “During the second quarter of 2024, we focused on
enhancing our local restaurant management across key areas
including environment, services, products, and food safety. This
approach aims to improve guest satisfaction, strengthen guest
connections, and boost operational efficiency. Our efforts yielded
tangible results, with our table turnover rate increasing to 3.8
times per day, up 0.5 times per day from the same period of last
year. During the quarter, revenue grew by 12.5% year over year,
driven by the ongoing recovery of the macro environment and our
local restaurants’ concerted efforts to improve performance by
enhancing guest satisfaction, expanding our guest base, capturing
more diverse consumption scenarios, and optimizing product
offerings. Our achievements underscore our commitment to
sustainable growth and position us well for continued success in
the evolving restaurant industry landscape.”
Second Quarter 2024 Financial
ResultsRevenue was US$183.3 million,
representing an increase of 12.5% from US$163.0 million in the same
period of 2023.
- Revenue from Haidilao restaurant operations was US$176.2
million, representing an increase of 12.3% from US$156.9 million in
the same period of 2023. The increase was mainly driven by (i)
continued recovery in international markets; (ii) our continuous
efforts in increasing guest visits and table turnover rates; and
(iii) ongoing business expansion and increased brand
influence.
- Revenue from delivery business was US$2.3 million, representing
a decline of 11.5% from US$2.6 million in the same period of 2023.
The decline was primarily attributable to the strategic decision of
some restaurants to prioritize the dine-in business compared to the
same period of last year.
- Revenue from other business was US$4.8 million, representing an
increase of 37.1% from US$3.5 million in the same period of 2023.
The increase was a result of the growing popularity of hot pot
condiment products and Haidilao-branded and sub-branded food
products to local customers and retailers.
Raw materials and consumables used were US$61.7
million, representing an increase of 11.4% from US$55.4 million in
the same period of 2023. As a percentage of revenue, raw materials
and consumables decreased slightly to 33.7% in the second quarter
of 2024 from 34.0% in the same period of 2023.
Staff costs were US$62.7 million, representing
an increase of 14.8% from US$54.6 million in the same period of
2023. As a percentage of revenue, staff costs were 34.2%, compared
to 33.5% in the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily due
to (i) the increase in the number of employees in line with the
expansion of restaurant network, and the increase in guest visits
and table turnover rate, (ii) the Company’s operation strategy of
ensuring sufficient number of employees to provide superior
customer experience, and (iii) the increase in statutory minimum
wages in several countries.
Income from operations4 was
US$8.5 million, representing a decline of 14.1% from US$9.9 million
in the same period of 2023. Income from operation margin5 was 4.6%,
compared to 6.1% in the same period of 2023. This decline in income
from operations was primarily due to (i) an increase in rentals and
related expenses of US$1.9 million, mainly representing increased
property management fees resulting from the opening of new
restaurants and the increase in variable lease payments in line
with the increase in revenue from relevant restaurants, and (ii)
listing expenses of US$1.8 million.
Loss for the period was US$0.1 million,
compared to a loss of US$2.2 million in the same period of 2023.
This change was mainly due to an increase in revenue compared to
the same period of 2023.
Basic and diluted net loss per
share were both approximating nil,
remaining flat compared to the same period of 2023.
