On October 30, Jiangsu Yanghe Distillery Co., Ltd. (Yanghe Distillery) released its third-quarter financial report. The data showed that the company's revenue for the first three quarters of the year reached 18.09 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 34.26%, while net profit attributable to shareholders dropped 53.66% to 3.975 billion yuan. The company attributed the revenue decline to weaker market conditions for baijiu sales, leading to reduced sales volume and revenue.
By the end of the third quarter, Yanghe Distillery's contract liabilities stood at 6.424 billion yuan, an increase of 550 million yuan from the second quarter and up 29% year-on-year.
Yanghe Distillery is a leading baijiu producer in China and the only company in the industry to own two renowned Chinese liquor brands—Yanghe and Shuanggu—as well as two "China Time-Honored Brands," six well-known trademarks, and two 4A-level tourist attractions. Its flagship products, including Dream Blue, Sky Blue, Ocean Blue, Sujiu, Zhenbaofang, Yanghe Daqu, and Shuanggu Daqu, enjoy strong brand recognition and reputation nationwide.
The company has been focusing on optimizing resource allocation to stabilize key markets, particularly in Jiangsu and high-end segments. It has implemented measures such as controlling supply and stabilizing prices for core products like Dream Blue M6+ and Ocean Blue to reduce inventory and boost sales. In its home market, the company launched the seventh-generation Ocean Blue, enhanced brand promotion and consumer education, and introduced a premium bottled version of Yanghe Daqu to strengthen its product portfolio. Additionally, Yanghe Distillery has been cultivating major distributors, improving retail channels, deepening its presence in banquets, and expanding into rural markets to solidify its distribution network.
Further developments will be closely monitored.
