SAINT BELLA GP (02508) announces a positive profit forecast, expecting the adjusted net profit for the interim period to be no less than 60 million yuan, with a year-on-year growth of no less than 54%.

SAINT BELLA GP (02508) announced that the Group expects to record the following financial performance for the six months ending June 30, 2026 (the reporting period): revenue of no less than RMB 608 million, representing a year-on-year growth of no less than 35% compared to the same period in 2025; adjusted net profit of no less than RMB 60 million, a year-on-year increase of no less than 54% compared to the same period in 2025; and net profit of no less than RMB 53.4 million, whereas the net profit for the same period in 2025 was approximately RMB 327 million (mainly due to the recognition of a one-time gain from the fair value change of a financial instrument issued to investors in the previous year, amounting to approximately RMB 318 million). The Board believes that the significant one-time gain from fair value change recorded by the Group for the same period in 2025, which is a one-off non-cash item, will no longer impact the Group's financial performance after the Company's listing. The Board emphasizes that the expected significant growth in the Group's revenue and adjusted net profit is mainly attributed to the following core factors: 1. Synergistic growth of the full-cycle service matrix and continuous optimization of revenue structure: The Group's brands have steadily improved their premium capability and average transaction value, with a strong operational foundation for the core business of confinement centers. At the same time, the Group has deeply tapped into the full-cycle service value for customers, with value-added services such as postpartum care, home-based services, and health management food all achieving robust growth, driving significant year-on-year increases in overall revenue. 2. "Internal growth + external acquisitions": A dual-driven approach, with deepened network layout and improved operational efficiency collectively driving core profit improvements. During the reporting period, the Group persistently advanced internal expansion and tactical acquisitions simultaneously, continuing to enhance its national and overseas service network. In terms of external acquisitions, the Group completed the acquisition of the leading maternal and child care brand "Freya" in the Wuhan area on June 22, 2026. Meanwhile, leveraging intelligent operations and refined management, the sales and administrative expense ratio has decreased compared to the same period in 2025, enhancing operational efficiency and improving core profitability. 3. "AI + Care": Significant ecological empowerment effects, achieving breakthroughs in both cost reduction and efficiency improvements as well as commercial revenue growth. The Group's self-developed vertical large model "Bella Doctor" is deeply integrated into all scenarios of store and home services, and it has deepened cooperation with embodied intelligent ecosystem partners and industrial funds, significantly enhancing operational efficiency and optimizing marketing and management expense ratios; at the same time, the initial results of the Group's AI commercialization layout are becoming apparent, with AI agent revenue achieving a breakthrough from zero to one, gradually transforming technological capabilities into revenue increments, supporting steady improvements in the Group's profit levels through diversified synergies. The Group continues to implement measures to enhance its capital market value, creating long-term sustainable returns for shareholders. On one hand, it regularly conducts share buybacks to effectively increase earnings per share, fully demonstrating confidence in the long-term intrinsic value of the enterprise; on the other hand, by enhancing the layout of the full-cycle service matrix and steadily increasing brand premium capability, it continues to fortify the operational foundation of the core business of confinement centers. In the future, the Group will continue to practice the strategy of synergistic growth of the full-cycle service matrix and the dual-driven strategy of "internal growth + external acquisitions," combined with the ecological empowerment advantages of "AI + care," with full confidence in achieving annual performance growth.
