SAINT BELLA (02508) announced that, based on a preliminary review of the group's unaudited consolidated management accounts and currently available information for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 (the reporting period), the group anticipates achieving the following results: (i) Revenue for the reporting period will be no less than RMB 1.035 billion, representing an increase of no less than 30% compared to the same period in 2024; and the group's total management scale revenue (including revenue from postpartum care centers managed under trusteeship) will be no less than RMB 1.126 billion, an increase of no less than 30% year-on-year. (ii) Adjusted net profit for the reporting period (excluding the impact of fair value changes of financial instruments issued to investors, share-based payment expenses, and listing expenses) will be no less than RMB 120 million, an increase of no less than 183% compared to the same period in 2024. (iii) Net profit for the reporting period will be no less than RMB 406 million, compared to a net loss of RMB 543 million reported for the same period in 2024.
The board of directors attributes the significant improvement in performance during the reporting period primarily to the following factors: enhanced brand effect and market penetration following the company's listing on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, which has significantly increased brand awareness and influence, translating into stronger market appeal; this has helped solidify its leading position in first-tier and new first-tier cities in China while accelerating penetration into core second-tier and provincial capital cities, thereby increasing the group's market share. Additionally, store integration and efficient operations through the acquisition of profitable managed outlets have optimized resources and driven synergistic revenue growth from both self-operated and trust-managed stores. Scale effects and cost dilution resulting from expanded business scale have led to a year-on-year increase in gross profit; high-quality customers acquired through postpartum care services have driven rapid growth in high-margin, full-lifecycle business, and coupled with a dilution of the group's expense ratio, have collectively driven further profit margin growth. Furthermore, efficiency gains through AI technology empowerment, via the continued strengthening of digital business management and AI-enabled operational management, have contributed to sustained improvements in operational efficiency.
