Excluding related party gross profit, the Group's gross profit from sales to third-party customers during the reporting period was approximately $241.6 million (2024: approximately $214.7 million), representing an increase of about 12.5% year-over-year. The gross margin from sales to third-party customers during the reporting period was 33.5%, down 1.7 percentage points from 35.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
The margin decline was primarily attributed to price reductions on old model products in the Joyoung segment, as well as decreased gross margins in the SharkNinja Asia Pacific segment. The latter was mainly due to increased freight costs during the reporting period, changes in market mix, and strategic discounts implemented in core markets.
