CHANGSHA, China, Aug. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd. ("Zoomlion") reported revenue of RMB 27.14 billion (approx. US$4.04 billion) for the first half of 2026, up 9.17% year over year, with revenue increasing in both domestic and international markets. International revenue rose 12.45% to RMB 15.54 billion (approx. US$2.31 billion), accounting for 57.25% of total revenue, while net cash generated from operating activities increased 38.12% to RMB 2.42 billion (approx. US$360.1 million).

International Business Sustains Growth as Local Capabilities Deepen

International business remained a major growth driver, with its share of total revenue rising 1.67 percentage points year over year to 57.25%. Through an end-to-end, digital and localized operating model, Zoomlion continued to deepen its presence in international markets. Growth in South America, Europe, Southeast Asia, Africa and East Asia exceeded the company's overall international growth rate.

Zoomlion strengthened local sales, service and supply capabilities across Europe, South America, Africa, Australia and New Zealand. As of June 30, it had more than 30 primary business hubs, over 530 secondary and tertiary outlets, more than 300 spare parts warehouses, and nearly 7,000 local employees worldwide.

Its Hungarian aerial work platform factory began production, while its German facility was expanded and upgraded into a multipurpose hub. The company also strengthened its international management and digital systems, improving responsiveness around the clock and oversight across sales opportunities, business execution and risk monitoring.

Diversified Portfolio Creates Additional Growth Drivers

Zoomlion maintained solid positions in its core concrete and crane machinery businesses. It advanced the rollout of electric products and premium equipment such as large mixing plants and long boom pump trucks, deepened collaboration with its Italian subsidiary CIFA, continued batch deliveries of large tonnage cranes, and made progress in wind power tower cranes and premium international segments.

Zoomlion's earthmoving, mining, aerial work platform and agricultural machinery businesses generated combined revenue of approximately RMB 12.5 billion (approx. US$1.86 billion), up about 10% and accounting for more than 46% of total revenue. Earthmoving machinery accounted for approximately 20% of revenue and became the largest contributor to Zoomlion's international revenue among its business segments.

Zoomlion also continued to advance electric and intelligent equipment across its portfolio, including electric construction machinery, new energy and autonomous mining equipment, and hybrid agricultural machinery. Several new energy mining products received EU CE certification, supporting their entry into international markets.

Zoomlion is also advancing embodied intelligence through its subsidiary, ZValley Technology Co., Ltd., which has developed several embodied AI robot products. Zoomlion has established capabilities spanning algorithms, software, hardware and industrial applications, supporting progress toward industrial deployment.

Industry trends, including infrastructure investment, equipment replacement and continued global capital spending on infrastructure and mining, are expected to support demand. Zoomlion will continue strengthening localized operations, diversifying its product portfolio and investing in technology to support sustainable, high-quality growth.

GUANGZHOU, China, Aug. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MINISO Group Holding Limited (NYSE: MNSO; HKEX: 9896) ("MINISO", "MINISO Group" or the "Company"), a global high-growth value retailer offering a variety of trendy lifestyle products featuring distinctive IP designs, today announced its unaudited financial results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2026 ("26Q2" and "26H1", respectively).

26H1 Selected Financial Information

Store Network Expansion

As of June 30, 2026, the Company's total store count reached 8,674, representing a net increase of 769 YoY and 189 YTD⁽⁴⁾.

• MINISO Brand: totaled 8,309 stores (up 697 YoY and 158 YTD⁽⁴⁾), driven by:
  • Chinese Mainland: 4,665 stores (up 360 YoY and 97 YTD⁽⁴⁾).
  • Overseas Markets: 3,644 stores (up 337 YoY and 61 YTD⁽⁴⁾).
• TOP TOY Brand: totaled 365 stores (up 72 YoY and 31 YTD⁽⁴⁾).

The following table provides a breakdown of the Company's store network and its changes on a YoY and YTD⁽⁴⁾ basis. About 48.4% of new MINISO stores in the past twelve months were located in overseas markets.

Mr. Guofu Ye, Founder, Chairman and CEO of MINISO, commented, "Despite a challenging consumer environment in the domestic market during 26H1, we are pleased to see that MINISO Chinese mainland delivered a standout performance, with revenue growing 26.2% YoY, our fastest first-half growth rate in the past three years, driven by mid-single-digit SSSG. MINISO overseas markets grew 14.9% YoY, while TOP TOY grew 32.7% YoY."

"Beyond the financial performance, we would also like to share our progress on proprietary IP and membership operations. YOYO, launched just one year ago, achieved monthly sales exceeding RMB100 million in both June and July 2026 and completed its first crossover collaboration with a world-class IP, evolving into an IP asset capable of engaging and co-creating with international IPs on equal footing. Members of MINISO Chinese mainland grew 31.0% YoY to about 130 million, contributing 77.4% of local sales; in the United States, our members grew 107.1% YoY to about 5.8 million, contributing 60.1% of local sales. Our membership program highlighted strong user retention, cementing the foundation for sustainable commercialization and long-term brand equity. On the global front, we celebrated our market entry into Switzerland in 26Q2, extending our global footprint to accumulative 113 countries and regions, while TOP TOY officially entered the United States and Taiwan, China, further elevating its global presence."

"Moving forward, MINISO will keep focusing on its dual drivers: IP and large-format stores. We aim to unlock deep brand equity via our IP ecosystem and reshape retail experiences through large-format stores. Guided by long-termism, we balance global expansion with high-quality localization. Powered by operational resilience, MINISO will create enduring, cycle-defying value for global stakeholders." Mr. Ye continued.

Mr. Eason Zhang, CFO of MINISO, commented, "During 26H1, revenue on group level grew by 22.4%. Adjusted operating profit excluding FX grew 5.0% YoY to RMB1,628.6 million. Net cash generated from operating activities reached RMB1,475.4 million, while adjusted net profit excluding FX was RMB1,221.6 million in the same period, demonstrating strong resilience and robust operational cash flow generation of our business."

"Our capital allocation initiatives were highlighted by share repurchase of RMB517.6 million deployed by the Company in 26H1, accounting for more than 90% of full-year repurchase amount of 2025. Furthermore, in June 2026, the Board approved 2026 share repurchase program of up to HK$2.0 billion, alongside an automatic share repurchase plan, enabling continued buyback execution even during blackout periods across both Hong Kong and the U.S. markets, underscoring our disciplined capital deployment, and reaffirmed our unwavering confidence in MINISO Group's intrinsic value.

We have returned a total of RMB1.31 billion to shareholders by cash dividends and share repurchases, accounting for 121% of the adjusted net profit for 26H1, which far exceeded the 50% payout ratio per our current dividend policy. Looking ahead, our capital allocation strategy will continue to balance our high-growth trajectory with our commitment to delivering stable, predictable returns to our shareholders." Mr. Zhang concluded.

Financial Results for 26H1

Revenue was RMB11,498.9 million (US$1,694.7 million), representing an increase of 22.4% YoY.

Revenue from MINISO brand increased by 21.6% YoY to RMB10,513.2 million (US$1,549.5 million), mainly driven by (i) an increase of 26.2% in revenue from Chinese mainland, powered by its mid-single digit SSSG⁽¹⁾, and (ii) an increase of 14.9% in revenue from overseas markets, with low-single-digit decline in same-store GMV. Overseas markets revenue contributed 38.6% of revenue from MINISO brand, compared to 40.9% in the same period last year.

Revenue from TOP TOY brand⁽⁵⁾ increased by 32.7% YoY to RMB984.6 million (US$145.1 million).

For more information on the composition and YoY change of revenue, please refer to the "Unaudited Additional Information" in this press release.

Cost of sales was RMB6,405.2 million (US$944.0 million), representing an increase of 22.3% YoY.

Gross profit was RMB5,093.7 million (US$750.7 million), representing an increase of 22.5% YoY.

Gross margin was 44.3%, flat year over year. The current-period margin included a benefit of about 0.6% from tariff refunds. The Company estimated more benefit in the coming quarters of about US$4.1 million.

Selling and distribution ("S&D") expenses were RMB3,045.0 million (US$448.8 million), representing an increase of 39.6% YoY. Excluding share-based compensation ("SBC") expenses, S&D expenses were RMB2,961.5 million (US$436.5 million), representing an increase of 36.7% YoY.

As a percentage of revenue, S&D expenses excluding SBC stood at 25.8% in 26H1, compared with 23.1% in the same period last year. This 2.7‑percentage‑point YoY increase was the main driver for the corresponding YoY decline in adjusted net profit margin excluding FX⁽³⁾.

The YoY expenses increase as percentages of revenue were broken down as follows: a 1.0‑percentage‑point rise in depreciation and amortization and rental expenses for directly‑operated stores; a 0.5‑percentage‑point uptick in promotion and advertising expenses; a 0.5‑percentage‑point increase in licensing expenses, reflecting the Company's strategic investments in IP development to build foundations for future growth; and an approximate 0.4‑percentage‑point increase in payroll expenses excluding SBC, largely attributable to overseas operations. Logistics expenses as a percentage of revenue remained stable at around 1.7%, flat YoY.

General and administrative expenses were RMB590.9 million (US$87.1 million), representing an increase of 17.3% YoY. Excluding SBC expenses, general and administrative expenses were RMB550.8 million (US$81.2 million), representing an increase of 15.5% YoY. The YoY increase was primarily due to the increase in personnel-related expenses in relation to the growth of the Company's business.

Other net income was RMB196.7 million (US$29.0 million), compared to RMB98.2 million in the same period last year. The YoY increase was mainly due to an unrealized mark-to-market gain of RMB277.4 million (US$40.9 million) arising from fair value changes of an investment in a limited partnership, reflecting its early stage strategic pre-IPO investment in the AI industry. This was partially offset by a net foreign exchange loss of RMB142.4 million (US$21.0 million), compared to a net foreign exchange gain of RMB36.6 million in the same period last year.

Operating profit increased by 6.1% YoY to RMB1,639.9 million (US$241.7 million), compared with RMB1,545.9 million in the same period last year.

Operating margin was 14.3%, compared with 16.5% in the same period last year.

Adjusted operating profit⁽²⁾ was RMB1,486.2 million (US$219.0 million), compared with RMB1,587.4 million in the same period last year. If excluding FX⁽³⁾, it would have been RMB1,628.6 million (US$240.0 million), representing an increase of 5.0% YoY.

Adjusted operating margin⁽²⁾ was 12.9%, compared with 16.9% in the same period last year. If excluding FX⁽³⁾, it would have been 14.2%.

Net finance costs were RMB212.0 million (US$31.2 million), compared to RMB128.4 million in the same period last year. The YoY change was mainly attributable to the decrease in interest income as a result of decreased principal in bank deposit, and increased finance costs. The increase in finance costs was mainly due to (i) increased interest expenses on lease liabilities in line with the Company's investment in directly operated stores; (ii) increased interest expenses in relation to the equity linked securities issued by the Company in 2025 (the "Equity Linked Securities"), and (iii) increased interest expenses mainly attributable to a borrowing in connection with the acquisition of the equity interest in Yonghui Superstores Co., Ltd * (永輝超市股份有限公司) ("Yonghui"). Both (ii) and (iii) are excluded in non-IFRS financial measures⁽²⁾ and the increases were driven by the full-period recognition of interest in 26H1 versus a pro-rated portion in the prior-year period.

Share of profit of equity-accounted investees, net of tax was RMB57.8 million (US$8.5 million), compared to a share of loss of RMB138.9 million in the same period last year. The YoY improvement was primarily attributable to the Company's share of profit in Yonghui of RMB60.3 million (US$8.9 million), compared to a share of loss in the prior-year period. This reflected Yonghui's return to profitability in 26H1, driven by its ongoing store-remodeling program, strengthened private-label merchandise portfolio, and improved gross margin and operating expense discipline, as disclosed in Yonghui's 2026 interim report. The share of profit in Yonghui has been excluded in the Company's non-IFRS financial measures⁽²⁾, as it relates to the operating results of an associated company rather than the underlying performance of MINISO's own business.

Changes in fair value of redemption liabilities were RMB47.4 million (US$7.0 million), which was a non-cash loss arising from preferred shares issued by TOP TOY in connection with its strategic financing in 2025 and has been excluded in non-IFRS financial measures⁽²⁾.

Other expenses were RMB141.3 million (US$20.8 million), representing a non-cash loss from fair value change of certain derivative under mark-to-market impact, which was in relation to the Equity Linked Securities and has been excluded in non-IFRS financial measures⁽²⁾.

Effective tax rate was 26.2%, compared to 24.1% in the same period last year.

Adjusted effective tax rate⁽²⁾ was 24.8%, which excluded the impact on effective tax rate as a result of adjusted items, compared to 18.4% in the same period last year. The YoY increase mainly reflected the tax effect of net foreign exchange loss and loss from certain subsidiaries of the Company.

Profit for the period increased 5.6% YoY to RMB956.6 million (US$141.0 million), compared to RMB906.0 million in the same period last year. The YoY increase was primarily attributable to the following factors: (i) the unrealized mark-to-market gain of RMB277.4 million (US$40.9 million) from fair value changes of an investment in a limited partnership investing in the AI industry, and (ii) RMB60.3 million (US$8.9 million) share of profit from its investment in Yonghui. Such positive contributions were partially offset by the following factors: (i) higher S&D expenses compared with the prior-year period, (ii) net foreign exchange loss of RMB142.4 million (US$21.0 million), reversing the net foreign exchange gain of RMB36.6 million recorded in the same period last year, (iii) increased net finance costs explained above, and (iv) a loss arising from changes in fair value of redemption liabilities arising from preferred shares issued by TOP TOY in connection with its strategic financing in 2025.

Net profit margin was 8.3%, compared to 9.6% in the same period last year.

Adjusted net profit⁽²⁾ was RMB1,079.1 million (US$159.0 million), compared to RMB1,279.5 million in the same period last year. If excluding FX⁽³⁾, it would have been RMB1,221.6 million (US$180.0 million), compared to RMB1,242.9 million in the same period last year.

Adjusted net margin⁽²⁾ was 9.4%, compared to 13.6% in the same period  last year. If excluding FX⁽³⁾, it would have been 10.6%, compared to 13.2% in the same period last year.

Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ increased by 3.1% YoY to RMB2,255.5 million (US$332.4 million).

Adjusted EBITDA margin⁽²⁾ was 19.6%, compared to 23.3% in the same period last year.

Basic earnings per ADS was RMB3.16 (US$0.47), compared to RMB2.96 in the same period last year, representing an increase of 6.8% YoY.

Diluted earnings per ADS was RMB3.16 (US$0.47), compared to RMB2.92 in the same period last year, representing an increase of 8.2% YoY.

Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per ADS⁽²⁾ were both RMB3.56 (US$0.52), compared to both RMB4.16 in the same period last year.

Cash position⁽⁶⁾, which was the combined balance of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, term deposits and other investments recorded as current assets, was RMB7,394.2 million (US$1,089.8 million) as of June 30, 2026, compared to RMB7,087.9 million as of December 31, 2025.

Net cash from operating activities was RMB1,475.4 million (US$217.4 million) for 26H1, with a cash conversion ratio⁽⁷⁾ of 1.4. Capital expenditure was RMB724.6 million (US$106.8 million) and free cash flow was RMB750.8 million (US$110.6 million).

Financial Results for 26Q2

Revenue was RMB5,810.5 million (US$856.4 million), representing an increase of 17.0% YoY.

Revenue from MINISO brand increased by 17.0% to RMB5,339.8 million (US$787.0 million), driven by (i) an increase of 22.9% in Chinese mainland, and (ii) an increase of 9.1% in overseas markets.

Revenue from TOP TOY brand⁽⁵⁾ increased by 16.9% to RMB470.1 million (US$69.3 million).

For more information on the composition and YoY change of revenue, please refer to the "Unaudited Additional Information" in this press release.

Cost of sales was RMB3,180.9 million (US$468.8 million), representing an increase of 14.9% YoY.

Gross profit was RMB2,629.6 million (US$387.6 million), representing an increase of 19.6% YoY.

Gross margin was 45.3%, compared to 44.3% in the same period last year. The current-period margin included a benefit of about 1.2% from tariff refunds in 26Q2.

S&D expenses were RMB1,574.1 million (US$232.0 million), representing an increase of 35.7% YoY. Excluding SBC expenses, S&D expenses were RMB1,566.8 million (US$230.9 million), representing an increase of 35.7% YoY.

As a percentage of revenue, S&D expenses excluding SBC stood at 27.0% in 26Q2, compared with 23.2% in the same period last year. This 3.8-percentage-point YoY increase was the main driver for the corresponding YoY decline in adjusted net profit margin excluding FX⁽³⁾.

General and administrative expenses were RMB293.7 million (US$43.3 million), representing an increase of 12.3% YoY. Excluding SBC expenses, general and administrative expenses were RMB286.0 million (US$42.2 million), representing an increase of 13.7% YoY.

Other net loss was RMB625.2 million (US$92.1 million), compared to an income of RMB77.4 million in the same period last year. The YoY change was mainly due to (i) an unrealized mark-to-market loss of RMB597.2 million (US$88.0 million) arising from fair value changes of an investment in a limited partnership, reflecting its early stage strategic pre-IPO investment in the AI industry, and (ii) a net foreign exchange loss of RMB59.9 million (US$8.8 million), compared with a net exchange gain of RMB35.0 million in the same period last year.

Operating profit was RMB118.5 million (US$17.5 million), compared with RMB836.2 million in the same period last year. The decrease in operating profit was mainly due to (i) an unrealized mark-to-market loss of RMB597.2 million (US$88.0 million) from fair value changes of an investment in a limited partnership investing in the AI industry, (ii) increased S&D expenses, and (iii) net foreign exchange loss of RMB59.9 million (US$8.8 million), compared to the net foreign exchange gain of RMB35.0 million in the same period last year.

Operating margin was 2.0%, compared with 16.8% in the same period last year.

Adjusted operating profit⁽²⁾ was RMB730.7 million (US$107.7 million), compared with RMB852.6 million in the same period last year. If excluding FX, it would have been RMB790.6 million (US$116.5 million), representing a decrease of 3.3% YoY.

Adjusted operating margin⁽²⁾ was 12.6%, compared with 17.2% in the same period last year. If excluding FX, it would have been 13.6%, compared to 16.5% in the same period last year.

Net finance costs were RMB108.0 million (US$15.9 million), compared to RMB79.4 million in the same period last year.

Share of loss of equity-accounted investees, net of tax was RMB20.4 million (US$3.0 million), compared to RMB136.9 million in the same period last year.

Changes in fair value of redemption liabilities were RMB25.9 million (US$3.8 million), which was a non-cash loss arising from preferred shares issued by TOP TOY in connection with its strategic financing in 2025 and has been excluded in non-IFRS financial measures⁽²⁾.

Other expenses were RMB90.5 million (US$13.3 million), including a non-cash loss from fair value changes of certain derivative under mark-to-market impact, which was in relation to the Equity Linked Securities and has been excluded in non-IFRS financial measures⁽²⁾.

Effective tax rate was negative 130.8%, compared to 21.9% in the same period last year. The negative effective tax rate for 26Q2 was driven by the consolidated pre-tax loss, which was primarily impacted by share of loss in Yonghui and an unrealized mark-to-market loss from fair value changes of an investment in a limited partnership investing in the AI industry, while income tax expense was recognized on profitable taxable entities within MINISO Group.

Adjusted effective tax rate⁽²⁾ was 24.7%, which excluded the impact on effective tax rate as a result of adjusted items, compared to 16.5% in the same period last year. The YoY increase mainly reflected the tax effect of net foreign exchange loss and loss from certain subsidiaries of the Company.

Loss for the period was RMB291.5 million (US$43.0 million), compared to a profit for the period of RMB489.5 million in the same period last year. The loss for the period was mainly attributable to (i) the change in operating profit explained above, and (ii) other expenses of RMB90.5 million (US$13.3 million), compared to other gain of RMB6.7 million in the same period last year, partially offset by the decrease in share of loss in Yonghui.

Net loss margin was 5.0%, compared with a net profit margin of 9.9% in the same period last year.

Adjusted net profit⁽²⁾ was RMB528.6 million (US$77.9 million), compared to RMB692.3 million in the same period last year. If excluding FX⁽³⁾, it would have been RMB588.4 million (US$86.7 million), compared to RMB657.3 million in the same period last year.

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 operating profit as operating profit for the period excluding (i) equity-settled share-based payment expenses and (ii) gain or loss from fair value changes of an investment in a limited partnership investing in the AI industry. MINISO calculates adjusted operating margin by dividing adjusted operating profit by revenue for the same period. MINISO defines adjusted effective tax rate as the effective tax rate excluding the tax impact of adjusted items, under non-IFRS financial measures. MINISO defines adjusted net profit as profit for the period excluding (i) equity-settled share-based payment expenses, (ii) gain or loss from fair value change of derivatives, (iii) issuance cost of derivatives, (iv) interest expenses related to the Equity Linked Securities and interest expenses related to the bank loans used for acquisition of the equity interest in Yonghui, (v) share of profit or loss of Yonghui, net of tax, (vi) changes in fair value of redemption liabilities arising from preferred shares, and (vii) gain or loss from fair value changes of an investment in a limited partnership investing in the AI industry. 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 (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) finance costs excluding interest expenses related to the Equity Linked Securities and interest expenses related to the bank loans used for acquisition of the equity interest in Yonghui, and (iii) 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. Starting from March quarter 2026, to more accurately reflect the Company's core business performance, the Company has adopted revised definitions of adjusted operating profit and adjusted net profit by excluding gain or loss from fair value changes of an investment in a limited partnership investing in the AI industry from the calculation of these items. The Company recorded loss of nil and RMB829.0 thousand, and gain of RMB25.4 million and RMB53.8 million from fair value changes of an investment in a limited partnership investing in the AI industry for the three months ended March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31, 2025, respectively. To ensure comparability, the Company has retrospectively adjusted its non-IFRS financial measures for prior periods.

MINISO presents these non-IFRS financial measures because they are used by the management to evaluate its core business performance and formulate business plans. These non-IFRS financial measures enable the management to assess its core business results without considering the impacts of the aforementioned non-cash and other adjustment items that MINISO does not consider to be indicative of its core business 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 core business 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 core business. 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 operating profit, operating margin, effective tax rate, 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 core business performance. Investors are encouraged to review MINISO's historical non-IFRS financial measures in light of the most directly comparable IFRS financial 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.
