MINISO founder, chairman and CEO Guofu Ye said: “We kicked off FY23 with an encouraging set of results headlined by strong margin performance.

“In spite of the short-term headwinds brought on by the pandemic in China, we remained focused on our long-term strategic goals: delivering on our globalisation strategy, bolstering the strength of our product offerings and optimising our store network.

“These efforts are yielding positive results, and we continued to see our overseas operations move further along the path of recovery.

“I am especially pleased to report that our margin profile continued to beat expectations, with adjusted net profit increasing by 127% year-on-year to RMB417m in the September quarter and adjusted net margin reaching its highest ever level at 15.1%.”
