HONG KONG, Aug 12, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Lilang Limited (“China Lilang” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”; stock code: 1234) today announced its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2025.Mr. Wang Dong Xing, Chairman and Non-Executive Director of China Lilang, said: “In the first half of 2025, international trade environment became increasingly harsh and complex. During the period, consumer spending in the mainland gradually recovered, but consumers remained cautious about spending on non-essential goods. China Lilang prides a well-differentiated brand matrix that has enabled it to penetrate and have a strong foothold in the menswear market. It appealed to its target customer base through precise product positioning and channel strategies, and launched a number of ‘LILANZ’ and ‘LESS IS MORE’ brand products to meet the needs of the consumer market. In addition, the Group actively deployed omni-channel marketing to enhance the popularity of the Lilang brands and improve the efficiency of online and offline sales channels to boost overall sales and operational competence.”For the six months ended 30 June 2025, the Group’s revenue increased by 7.9% to RMB1,727 million. Among this, revenue of the smart causal collection and other collections urged 31.8%, mainly driven by strong performance in in-store sales of the smart casual collection and new retail business. The core collection recorded a slight decrease of 0.2%, primarily due to one-off revenue deduction resulting from the promotion of DTC business model in Shandong Province and Chongqing City.Gross profit margin increased by 0.2 percentage points year-on-year to 50.2%, mainly due to the increase in average unit price as a result of higher proportion of the direct-to-retail operation in sales revenue. Profit attributable to equity shareholders for the period was RMB242.5 million (2024 Interim: RMB280.1 million). Profit margin attributable to equity shareholders was 14.0%. Earnings per share were RMB20.2 cents.During the period, the Group maintained a healthy financial position with sufficient cash flow. The Board of Directors has recommended payment of an interim dividend of HK11 cents (2024 Interim: HK13 cents) per ordinary share and a special interim dividend of HK5 cents (2024 Interim: HK5 cents) per ordinary share, thereby maintaining a stable payout ratio.The Group diligently advanced its strategic transformation during the period, plus continued to implement its “Multi-brands and Internationalization” development strategy to expand business. The core collection “LILANZ” has continued to consolidate its competitive advantage in the traditional menswear market and successfully amplified its brand awareness and market share. The repurchase and transformation of distribution and agency rights in North-Eastern China and Jiangsu Province were completed last year. During the period, the Group has repurchased the operating rights from distributors in the entire Shandong province and Chongqing city and adopted the DTC model. The "LESS IS MORE" smart casual collection that targets younger consumers continued to operate in a fully direct-to-retail mode. The newly opened stores of the smart casual collection were mainly in South-Western China and Central and Southern China. As at 30 June 2025, there were 2,443 stores for the core collection and 331 stores for the smart casual collection.During the period, the Group continued to optimize its sales channels, opening new stores in shopping malls and outlet stores in prime locations as planned. By incorporating tech-savvy visual aesthetics and youthful, fashionable layouts, the Group has brought the brand’s“Simplicity but not Simple” philosophy to life, thereby enhancing its brand image and driving sales. As at June 30, 2025, the number of stores located in shopping malls rose to 957 (31 December 2024: 933), the store count of outlet stores increased to 121 (31 December 2024: 103), with a total of 2,774 retail stores.The Group completed strategic transformation of its new retail business, upgrading it from an inventory clearance channel into a major new product sales platform, which reported a remarkable 24.6% increase in revenue for the period. While continuing to strengthen its presence on established sales platforms like Tmall, JD.com and TikTok, the Group has also expanded into emerging channels such as Pinduoduo, Wechat Channels and Poizon, creating diversified online sales network all together. It has kept enhancing its e-commerce strategy and leveraged social media platforms such as Xiaohongshu and Weibo to keep releasing high-quality content. This approach has deepened its emotional connection with consumers and presented it with new business opportunities.In terms of“Multi-brands and Internationalization” development strategy, the business of “MUNSINGWEAR” was successfully handed over to the Group in the first half of the year. The Group plans to open its first batch of physical stores in the second half of the year. The Group has opened its first store in Malaysia, which started trial operation in May, marking a significant step in overseas expansion.For the research, development and innovation and brand marketing, the Group is committed to achieving breakthroughs in fabrics, craftsmanship and technologies by pursuing proprietary research and development across its industrial chain, with the goal of enhancing the brand's core competitive advantages. During the period, the Group’s original durable white non-iron shirts, “Water Repellent Down 3.0” and the wash-resistant polo shirts have obtained multiple certifications for their anti-wrinkle, quick-drying, and wash-resistant features, successfully driving sales growth. To step up brand transformation aiming at youth consumers, the Group has harnessed celebrity influence, collaborated with cultural IPs, and employed immersive marketing tactics to engage consumers across various age groups and city tiers.Looking ahead to the second half of 2025, the development of domestic consumer market continues to be challenging. As an industry leader, China Lilang will press on with applying its strengths, following shifts in the consumer market and technological advancement, to promote transformation and to enhance brand influence, achieving sustainable sales and profit growth.In the second half year, the Group will continue to push forward with transformation. It will continue to capitalize on the operational advantages of the DTC model in North- Eastern China, Jiangsu Province, Shandong Province and Chongqing City to achieve healthy expansion, tailoring implementation taking into account the specific conditions of each market to further achieve optimal operational performance. For the smart casual collection, which is operated entirely in the direct-to-retail mode, will have its development foundation strengthened to help maintain its strong development momentum. The Group expects the DTC model to unleash its potential further in the second half year and contribute to sales growth.On the other hand, the Group will continue to leverage the advantages of its sales channel reform, focusing on opening stores in prime locations in premium shopping malls in provincial capitals and prefecture-level cities, and closing the underperforming stores to achieve better overall store performance. At the same time, the Group will prudently expand the layout of outlet stores and increase the number of stores to speed up inventory clearance. The Group aims to achieve a net increase of 50-100 stores in 2025.To achieve both the online and offline development, the Group will accelerate its new retails business by leveraging various platforms to engage young customer groups and strengthen brand market penetration. By increasing brand exposure through multi-dimensional initiatives, the Group aims to increase online sales of new products, expecting a rise to 80% of total e-commerce sales. It will work on optimizing the respond time of its supply chain to meet customers’ needs, via including continuously upgrading its the smart logistics center.With a solid domestic foundation, the Group is confident of accelerating implementation of its “Multi-brands and Internationalization” development strategy. As a key project of its multi-brand strategy, "MUNSINGWEAR" will continue to focus on product development in the second half year to meet the needs of the new middle class for personalized, functional and sustainable fashion. For its overseas business, the Group will open more stores in Malaysia in the second half year to better tap the Malaysian market, as well as actively deploy plans to expand business coverage to other Southeast Asian markets. Furthermore, the Group will promote its brand popularity through collaboration with IPs, as well as enhancing interaction with consumers through precise social media marketing and membership programs to foster customer loyalty and capture bigger market share.Mr. Wang Dong Xing, Chairman of China Lilang, concluded: “While China's consumer market remains challenging, the Group maintains cautious optimism toward the retail sector given the government's implementation of multiple consumption-stimulus measures. The ‘LILANZ’ core collection and the ‘LESS IS MORE’ smart casual collection have both undergone innovative transformation, emerging with clearer positioning. This will enable the Group to enhance precision and efficiency in product development, design, marketing promotion and sales, and ultimately drive the long-term growth. On the other hand, as a steadfast practitioner of sustainable development, the Group has deeply embedded ESG principles into its corporate strategy, consistently driving green innovation and social shared value. During the period, we issued our first independently compiled ESG report titled "Creat a Better Life Together" and formally established an ESG Management Committee, integrating ESG governance into strategic planning and core values – demonstrating our commitment to long-term value creation. Notably, the Group achieved an MSCI ESG rating upgrade to BB, ranking among China's top menswear industry peers. Looking ahead, the Group will continue to reinforce its leadership in the domestic menswear sector and strive to achieve sustainable growth through implementing flexible marketing strategy and continuous innovation, to the ultimate end of generating greater value for shareholders, its employees and customers."About China LilangChina Lilang is one of the leading PRC menswear enterprises. As an integrated fashion enterprise, the Group designs, sources and manufactures high-quality business and casual apparel for men and sells under brands of 'LILANZ' and 'LESS IS MORE' across an extensive distribution network, mainly covering 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in the PRC.

康基醫療控股有限公司與Knight Bidco Limited今日聯合宣佈，擬通過協議安排（"建議交易"）對公司進行私有化。康基醫療控股有限公司私有化要約：每股9.25港元的註銷價較股份於截至未受干擾日期（即2025年6月30日）之收盤價溢價約21.7%，較股份於截至未受干擾日期（包括該日）止360個交易日在聯交所所報的平均收盤價溢價約47.3%，且超過了2022年以來於聯交所錄得之最高收盤價。本次私有化擬以協議安排實施，要約人及其一致行動人士合共持有公司74.75%之股份；已獲得一家機構股東作出的不可撤銷承諾，將投票支持該私有化方案。該方案為股東提供明確機會，使其能夠於康基醫療控股有限公司之股份持續面臨交易價格壓力及流動性受限之際，變現其於公司之權益。香港，2025年8月13日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 2025年8月12日，康基醫療控股有限公司（「康基醫療」或「公司」，股份代號：9997.HK）與KNIGHT BIDCO LIMITED「要約人」今日聯合宣佈，雙方擬以協議安排的方式對公司進行私有化，以期公司能夠專注於長期戰略決策，包括研發長期投入及運營升級。待該方案完成後，公司將成為要約人的全資附屬公司，而公司股份於聯交所的上市地位將被撤銷。要約人由以下成員組成的財團全資持有：鍾先生與申屠女士（創始人）、TPG實體、NewQuest V基金及Al-Rayyan Holding。交易理據鑒於股票的交易價格持續承壓且流動性長期不足，公司從股票市場籌集資金的能力受到嚴重限制。除此之外，本公司為維持上市地位須承擔行政、合規及其他與上市相關之成本及開支，故維持上市地位之裨益有限。由於國內市場競爭加劇及持續之監管不確定性，為實現可持續增長，公司之長期策略需進行重大投資，此舉可能對短期財務表現造成壓力。預計需將額外資源分配至以下領域：銷售與市場推廣、研發及商業化投資，以及中國境外之市場擴張。鑒於維持上市地位之裨益有限，且涉及相關上市成本，康基醫療繼續維持上市地位之必要性已顯著降低。此外，該方案之實施將緩解公司短期財務表現所受壓力，從而更專注於戰略目標之推進。公司預期需要配置更多資源，以保障其未來可持續發展。此外，該方案為少數股東提供具吸引力之機會，使其能在市場波動、行業及宏觀不確定性，以及股份流動性有限之情況下，實現可觀回報。KNIGHT BIDCO LIMITED提出的私有化方案為康基醫療及其股東提供了及時有效的解決方案，提議將康基醫療私有化的方案將：(a) 降低康基醫療的行政、合規及其他上市相關成本；(b) 緩解康基醫療面臨的短期業績指標壓力，使康基醫療能夠專注於長遠戰略決策（例如可能導致短期虧損的長期研發投入及運營升級）；以及(c) 為現有股東提供明確保障，使其能以顯著高於未受干擾股價之溢價，實現於康基醫療之權益變現。綜上所述，要約方認為私有化交易能為全體股東提供即時且最具吸引力價值的戰略選擇，同時可規避不確定市場環境帶來的風險。交易方案概述本次私有化方案設定的股份註銷價格為每股9.25港元，按股權價值計算對公司估值約為14億美元。[1]要約方已明確表示，註銷價格為最終定價且後續不會上調。該註銷價格體現以下考量：較股份於未受干擾日期（即2025年6月30日）在聯交所所報收盤價溢價約21.7%。較股份於截至未受干擾日期（包括該日）止360個交易日在聯交所所報的平均收盤價溢價約47.3%。以及截至未受干擾日期（包括該日）止於聯交所所報之股份價格的過去52週最低收盤價（5.01港幣）溢價約84.6%。此外，在較長的過往期間內，註銷價格超過了股份自2022年以來的最高收盤價（8.66港幣）。本次註銷價格的確定已綜合考量下列因素（包括但不限於），股份於聯交所的近期及歷史交易價格，公司公開披露的財務資訊，及參照近年來香港市場類似私有化交易案例。該方案的實施受限於所有先決條件於2026年1月31日（先決條件最後截止日期）或之前達成，並在2026年4月30日（最後截止日期）之前滿足條件。公司將委任獨立財務顧問（"IFA"）向為方案目的而設立的獨立董事委員會（"獨立董事委員會"）提供意見，以便就方案向股東作出推薦建議。方案的詳情，包括獨立董事委員會的最終推薦意見及獨立財務顧問的意見函，將載入計劃文件，並預期在切實可行的情況下儘快寄發給股東。協議安排會議協議安排會議的具體細節將載於計劃文件，該文件預計將於適當時候寄發予股東。本次交易尚需滿足《聯合》公告所列的多項先決條件及條件，包括但不限於監管批准、股東批准及其他法定合規要求。不可撤銷承諾本公司已獲得一名機構股東作出的不可撤銷承諾，將就該項提案投贊成票。詳情請參閱《聯合公告》。康基醫療已於2025年7月18日上午9時正起於聯交所暫停買賣，以待刊發本公告。公司已向聯交所申請股份自2025年8月13日上午9點起恢復買賣。摩根大通擔任要約方獨家財務顧問關於康基醫療控股有限公司康基醫療控股有限公司創立於2004年，總部位於中國浙江省杭州市，於2020年6月在香港聯合交易所主板上市，股票代碼9997.HK。公司專注于設計、開發、生產和銷售微創外科手術器械及配套耗材(「MISIA」)，秉持著「為醫生提供優質產品和服務，致力於人類健康事業」為使命，通過豐富的產品組合為婦產科、普外科、泌尿外科和胸外科等臨床科室的微創外科手術提供一站式解決方案，並致力於發展為一個立足中國，輻射全球的國際化微創外科手術器械及配套耗材平台。關於Knight Bidco Limited要約人、MidCo 及TopCo均為於開曼群島新註冊成立的有限公司及僅為實施該建議而成立的投資控股公司。於本公告日期，要約人由MidCo全資擁有，而MidCo由TopCo全資擁有。於本公告日期，TopCo由財團成員持有，其中Fortune Spring ZM、Fortune Spring YG、TPG Asia VII、Keyhole、Knight Success、NewQuest V及Al-Rayyan Holding分別持有約25.53%、約14.47%、約24.38%、約5.01%、約5.69%、約4.56%及約20.36%。截至本公告發布之日，除聯合公告中「公司的股權架構」一節所披露外，TPG Asia VII、Keyhole、Knight Success、NewQuest V及Al-Rayyan Holding 均非股東。康基醫療現由鍾鳴先生及其配偶申屠女士共同控制，二人合計持有康基醫療52.98%股份。待私有化完成後，鍾氏夫婦將通過"Fortune Spring ZM"與"Fortune Spring YG"繼續持有要約方最終控股公司（TopCo）40.00%股權，並保持第一大股東地位。更多細節詳見《聯合公告》。各創始人實體均為英屬維爾京群島註冊成立的商業公司。Knight Success為一家於新加坡新註冊成立的有限公司及且為一家投資控股公司。Keyhole為一家於開曼群島註冊成立之獲豁免有限公司及投資控股公司。TPG Asia VII為一家於新加坡註冊成立的有限公司。Knight Success 及Keyhole均由TPG Asia VII全資擁有或控制，而後者由TPG Asia GenPar VII Advisors, Inc.控制，並最終由納斯達克上市的特拉華州公司TPG Inc. 控制。TPG是一家全球領先的另類資產管理公司，成立於1992 年，截至2025年6月30日年管理的資產超過2,690億美元。多年來，TPG一直致力於投資變革、增長與創新，旨在為投資者構建多元化的產品與策略，同時藉由貫徹紀律及卓越的營運管理，提升投資策略與投資組合的整體表現。NewQuest V為一家於新加坡註冊成立的有限公司及投資控股公司。NewQuest V由NewQuest Asia Fund V, L.P. 全資擁有，而後者由NewQuest Asia Fund V GP Ltd.控制，並最終由納斯達克上市的特拉華州公司TPG Inc.控制。NewQuest成立於2011年，是亞洲領先的二級私募股權平台之一，擁有亞洲最有經驗的二級團隊，分佈於五個辦事處。自成立以來，NewQuest 一直專注於與普通合夥人合作，創建定制的解決方案，以滿足私募資產持有人及其利益相關者的流動性和其他戰略需求。從2018年建立的戰略合作夥伴關係開始，NewQuest 於2022 年1月成為TPG的全資附屬公司。Al-Rayyan Holding為一家根據卡塔爾金融中心管理局的規定於2012年在卡塔爾成立的有限責任公司，且為卡塔爾主權財富基金卡塔爾投資局全資擁有的間接附屬公司。成立於2005年的卡塔爾投資局旨在投資和管理國家儲備基金。卡塔爾投資局為全球最大、最活躍的主權財富基金之一。卡塔爾投資局投資於廣泛的資產類別及地區，並與世界各地的領先機構合作，建立具有長期前景的全球化及多元化投資組合。於本公告日期，Al-Rayyan Holding 及其一致行方（與Al-Rayyan Holding 單獨或被視為與該財團一致行事的各方除外）均不持有任何股份。如有垂詢，敬請聯繫：康基醫療控股有限公司要約人傳媒聯絡：皓天財經集團有限公司Angie Li & Jason Lai電話：(852) 6150 8598 / (852) 9798 0715電郵：po@wsfg.hk傳媒聯絡: 博然思維Kay Lau+852 6021 7009Tong Li+86 134 8872 6729電郵：TeamKnight@brunswickgroup.com[1] 以每股9.25港币的注销价格、1,207,994,000股流通股，以及7.85的美元兑港币汇率计算免責聲明：本新聞稿中使用的所有未另行定義的大寫術語，其含義均以2025 年 8 月 12日 發佈的《聯合公告》中的釋義為准。本新聞稿須與《聯合公告》全文一併閱讀，公告副本可在以下鏈接查閱。https://www1.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/sehk/2025/0812/2025081201339_c.pdf Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

香港，2025年8月12日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 五礦資源有限公司（「MMG」；股份代號：1208）今日發佈二零二五年中期業績，公司除稅後淨利潤達566.3百萬美元，較二零二四年上半年的除稅後淨利潤79.5百萬美元增長逾600%。這一強勁利潤提升主要得益於旗下三座銅礦的銅產量均有所增長，銅、金、銀、鋅的市場價格上揚，以及Las Bambas因銅產量提升而實現單位成本下降。MMG行政總裁趙晶表示：「今年上半年，MMG的業務實現了卓越的經營和財務表現。此成果充分展現出公司資產組合的優勢、團隊的卓越能力以及對戰略規劃的堅定執行力。」值得關注的是，二零二五年上半年，MMG的安全績效有所改善，每百萬工作小時可記錄總工傷事故頻率（TRIF）為1.81，低於二零二四年全年的2.06。二零二五年上半年具有能量交換的重大事件頻率（SEEEF）為每百萬工作小時0.78，與二零二四年持平。運營方面，公司旗下三座銅礦山的銅銷量與產量均顯著提升，其中Las Bambas表現強勁，Khoemacau和Kinsevere亦處於爬坡階段。澳大利亞兩座礦山雖面臨天氣影響、設備可靠性以及採礦順序導致的品位下降等挑戰，鋅產量仍保持穩定。要點：上半年的EBITDA及EBIT均創下歷史新高，其中EBITDA達1,539.9百萬美元，較二零二四年上半年增長98%，而EBIT總計1,058.8百萬美元，較去年同期增長240%。除稅後淨利潤達566.3百萬美元，包括本公司權益持有人應佔利潤340.0百萬美元。經營活動現金流淨額較二零二四年上半年增長130%，總額達1,185.0百萬美元。這主要受銅銷售量增加及商品價格上漲推動。資產負債持續改善，自Las Bambas收購以來，債務淨額及槓桿率均創下歷史新低。其中，債務淨額自二零二四年底以來減少903.3百萬美元，主要得益於強勁的運營現金流及提前償還Khoemacau合營公司集團500百萬美元的貸款。二零二五年上半年，槓桿率從41%下降至33%。二零二五年上半年，應付銅銷售總量達237,651噸，創二零一八年以来歷史新高。Las Bambas二零二五年上半年銅精礦含銅的產量達210,637噸，較二零二四年同期增長67%。EBITDA創下歷史新高，達1,310.5百萬美元，較二零二四年上半年增長122%。趙晶補充道：「MMG的資產負債表達至十年來最穩健水平--受惠於盈利提升和現金流創造帶動的債務削減。我們躋身全球十大銅生產商的目標觸手可及，透過卓越的運營表現、審慎的資本分配，以及對負責任採礦的持續承諾，我們已為實現這一目標奠定良好基礎。」二零二五年的生產指引維持不變，銅總產量最高可達522,000噸，鋅產量最高可達240,000噸。如果運營環境穩定且無外部干擾，Las Bambas今年有望實現高達400,000噸的銅產量。MMG正致力達成成本目標，Las Bambas和Rosebery已下調C1成本區間，以反映副產品收益改善及強勁的市場條件。本公司正努力完成近期對巴西鎳業的收購，並對公司的長期資產組合及增長前景充滿信心。MMG將持續推動運營所在社區的發展，促進當地經濟與就業，並為全球可持續未來供應所需的關鍵礦物。點擊查看完整的中期業績報告，觀看行政總裁致辭視頻以及下載公司圖片。關於MMGMMG成立於二零零九年，其願景是為低碳未來打造國際領先的礦業公司。公司總部位於澳大利亞墨爾本和中國北京，並在香港聯合交易所上市（聯交所：1208）。MMG的资产組合涵蓋銅、鋅和鈷的生產，並即將拓展至鎳領域。這些金屬資源對全球脫碳和電氣化目標的實現至關重要。目前，公司的運營業務分佈澳大利亞、博茨瓦納、剛果民主共和國及拉丁美洲。更多信息請點擊此處。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

香港，2025年8月12日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 中國利郎有限公司（「中國利郎」或「本公司」，及其附屬公司，統稱「集團」；股份編號：1234）今天公佈其截至二零二五年六月三十日止六個月中期業績。中國利郎主席兼非執行董事王冬星先生說：「二零二五年上半年，國際貿易環境更趨嚴峻復雜。期內，內地消費逐步復甦，但消費者對非必需品的支出仍然謹慎。中國利郎通過差異化品牌矩陣深耕男裝市場，通過精準的產品定位與渠道策略，鎖定目標客群，推出多款『利郎LILANZ』及『利郎LESS IS MORE』品牌產品，滿足消費市場需求。此外，集團積極佈局全域營銷，加強利郎品牌的知名度，提升線上線下渠道銷售效益，以推動整體銷售，提升營運效益。 」截至二零二五年六月三十日止上半年，集團收入同比增加7.9%至人民幣17.3億元。其中，輕商務及其他系列收入大幅上升31.8%，主要由於輕商務在門店和新零售表現良好的帶動。主系列收入輕微下跌0.2%，主要由於集團在山東與重慶推進DTC業務模式帶來的一次性收入扣減所致。毛利率為50.2%，同比上升0.2個百分點，主要由於直營銷售佔比上升提高了平均單價所致。期內權益股東應佔利潤為人民幣2.4億元（二零二四年上半年：人民幣2.8億元），權益股東應佔利潤率為14.0%（二零二四年上半年：17.5%），每股盈利為人民幣20.2分。期內集團保持財政穩健，現金流充足。董事會建議派發中期股息每股11港仙（二零二四年上半年：13港仙）及特別中期股息每股5港仙（二零二四年上半年：5港仙），繼續維持穩定的派息比率。集團積極推進戰略轉型，並落實「多品牌、國際化」發展策略，實現業務持續擴張。「利郎LILANZ」主系列繼續鞏固在傳統男裝市場的競爭優勢，成功提升品牌知名度和擴大市場份額。主系列於去年完成東北地區及江蘇省的分銷及代銷權回購轉制，並於期內向山東全省和重慶市一級分銷商回購經營權，以DTC模式轉型。針對較年輕消費者的「利郎LESS IS MORE」輕商務系列繼續以全直營模式經營。輕商務新增門店主要集中在西南及中南地區。截至二零二五年六月三十日止，主系列門店共2,443家，輕商務門店331家。期內，集團繼續致力優化銷售渠道，按計劃在優質地段開設購物中心店及奧特萊斯店，及通過科技感的視覺設計和年輕化的空間佈局，將「簡約不簡單」的品牌理念具象化呈現，以提升品牌形象及推動銷售。於二零二五年六月三十日，購物商場店增加至957家（二零二四年十二月三十一日933家）；奧特萊斯店則增加至121家（二零二四年十二月三十一日：103家），共有2,774家零售店。集團新零售業務完成戰略轉型，從過往的庫存清理渠道升級為主力新品銷售平台，於期內收入錄得24.6%的顯著增長。集團持續深耕天貓、京東、抖音等成熟銷售平台的同時，拓展了拼多多、微信視頻號、得物等新興渠道，形成多元化線上銷售網絡。集團同時利用小紅書、微博等社交平台，持續輸出高品質內容，強化內容電商佈局，從而深化與消費者的情感聯結，並擴展新的業務機遇。集團「多品牌、國際化」發展戰略方面，萬星威「MUNSINGWEAR」上半年完成交易交割，計劃於下半年開設首批實體店。而集團在馬來西亞組開設首家門店的計劃順利落實，並於五月份試業，實現海外拓展的成功一步。在產品研發及品牌營銷方面，集團致力在面料、工藝和技術上取得突破，實現全產業鏈自主研發，加強品牌的核心競爭優勢。期內，集團創新研發的持久白免燙襯衫、拒水羽絨3.0及耐洗POLO衫在抗皺、快乾、耐洗等功能上取得多項認可，成功帶動銷售增長。為進一步深化品牌年輕化戰略，集團於期內借助明星影響力、文化IP聯動及沉浸式場景營銷，觸達各線城市及不同年齡層消費者。展望二零二五年下半年，縱然中國消費市場發展仍然存在不同挑戰，中國利郎作為行業的領先者，將繼續發揮自身優勢，因應消費市場變化和科技創新發展，推動變革轉型，提升品牌影響力，實現銷售及盈利持續增長。集團在下半年將繼續深化轉型，主系列將持續在東北地區、江蘇省、山東省和重慶市發揮DTC模式的經營優勢，以實現穩健擴張。同時，集團將根據各市場的具體情況適度擴大規模，進一步提升營運表現。針對全直營模式經營的輕商務系列，集團將著力加強發展基礎，維持目前高速發展的勢頭。集團預期DTC模式於下半年充分釋放潛力，為整體銷售增長作出貢獻。另一方面，集團繼續利用銷售渠道改革的優勢，聚焦省會城市及地級市優質購物中心的核心位置開店，並關閉低效店舖，以提升門店效率；同時亦會審慎佈局奧特萊斯店，增加門店數量以加快清理庫存。二零二五年全年淨開店目標為50至100家門店。為實現線上線下同步發展，集團將致力推進新零售業務發展，繼續善用各個平台，以瞄準年輕客戶群並加強品牌滲透。透過多維度增加品牌曝光，目標新貨品銷售佔電商銷售總金額的比重能提高至80%。同時，集團會通過智慧物流園區的持續升級，進一步優化供應鏈回應速度，滿足消費者需求。集團目標於二零二五年實現新零售業務收入增長20%或以上，整體銷售增長目標不少於10%。憑藉在國內的堅實基礎，集團有信心加速實現「多品牌、國際化」發展策略。萬星威「MUNSINGWEAR」作為多品牌策略的重點項目，下半年會繼續聚焦產品開發，滿足新中產階級對個性化、功能性及可持續時尚的需求。海外業務方面，集團下半年將在馬來西亞開設更多門店，進一步開拓馬來西亞的市場，並同時將積極部署把業務計劃擴大至東南亞其他市場。同時，集團將通過與跨界IP的合作，提升品牌知名度。結合精準的社交媒體行銷和會員計劃，集團將進一步增強與消費者的互動，提升顧客黏性，提升市場份額。王冬星主席總結說：「縱然中國消費市場發展仍然充滿挑戰，但中國政府實施多項提振消費措施，集團對零售市道審慎樂觀。『利郎LILANZ』主系列及『利郎LESS IS MORE』輕商務系列實現創新轉型後，各自定位更為清晰，有利集團從產品開發設計、營銷推廣和銷售方面，做到更精準更高效，成為集團長遠增長動力。另一方面，作為可持續發展的堅定踐行者，集團將ESG理念深度融入企業戰略，持續推動綠色創新與社會共贏。集團於期內首次發佈獨立編制的ESG報告《共創美好生活》，並正式成立ESG管理委員會，將ESG治理納入戰略規劃和核心價值觀中，展現集團對長期價值的承諾。期內，利郎的MSCI ESG評級升至BB，躋身國內男裝行業前列。未來，集團將繼續鞏固在國內男裝行業的領導地位，通過靈活的市場策略和持續創新，實現可持續增長，為股東、員工及客戶創造更大價值。」關於中國利郎中國利郎是中國領先的男裝企業之一。作為一家綜合時裝企業，集團設計、採購、生產並以品牌「利郎LILANZ」及「利郎LESS IS MORE」銷售優質男士商務及休閒服裝。其產品主要於遍佈中國31個省、自治區及直轄市的廣闊零售及分銷網絡銷售。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
