However, net profit rose 15.3% to RMB133 million. The board proposed an interim dividend of HK4.6 cents per share and a special dividend of HK3.4 cents per share.

As China's leading premium perfume brand operator, ETERNAL BEAUTY is positioned to benefit from the recovery in high-end consumption and growing demand for fragrances. Huatai Securities noted that the company's multi-brand, omnichannel strategy ensures broad product coverage, with further growth potential in lower-tier cities.

Looking ahead, ETERNAL BEAUTY aims to expand its brand portfolio and strengthen its market leadership. Plans to develop self-operated retail stores and proprietary brands are expected to drive new revenue and profit growth.
