Mr. Guofu Ye, Founder, Chairman and CEO of MINISO, commented, "Revenue on group level grew by 28.5% YoY, kicking off 2026 by outperforming our previous expectation. MINISO Chinese mainland achieved a 29.6% YoY revenue growth in 26Q1, delivering a fifth consecutive quarter of acceleration since March quarter of 2025, powered by its another solid high-single digit SSSG. Revenue from MINISO overseas grew by 21.9%, powered by low-single digit SSSG. By deepening our glocalization moat in integrating local talent, tailoring product offerings and optimizing regional execution, as well as maintaining rigorous operational discipline, we are unleashing growth momentum from our overseas markets. TOP TOY recorded a 51.4% YoY revenue growth in 26Q1, sustaining its robust growth momentum in pop toy industry.
MINISO Group's outstanding performance this quarter serves as a powerful validation of the momentum we are building. My personal intension to increase my holdings as announced in April 2026 is a direct reflection of my conviction in the Company's development prospects. I believe MINISO Group's current valuation has yet to reflect its true intrinsic potential."
"Entering the second half of 2026, we will continue to deepen our globalization and IP strategies, driving high-quality growth through continuous product mix optimization, upgrade and expansion of our store network and leveraging a multi-dimensional IP matrix. We are firmly advancing with purpose toward our long-term objectives." Mr. Ye continued.
Mr. Eason Zhang, CFO of MINISO, commented, "Our sustained top-line excellence underscore our competitive edge in capturing market share and our unwavering brand influence, powered by another strong SSSG on group level. Excluding FX(3) , adjusted operating profit(2) would have increased 14.3% with a margin of 14.7%, underscoring the healthy growth of our core business."
"In April and May 2026, we distributed cash dividends of US$115.8 million, bringing our shareholders returns totaling RMB6.2 billion since our U.S. IPO in 2020. We believe that our share price has been trading below its intrinsic value and the Company is also planning to conduct share repurchases depending on market conditions. Moving forward, we will continue to exercise disciplined cost control and prudent budgeting, balancing both growth and our commitment to bringing stable and foreseeable returns to shareholders." Mr. Zhang concluded.
Financial Results for 26Q1
Revenue was RMB5,688.4 million (US$824.6 million), representing an increase of 28.5% YoY, powered by a mid-single digit SSSG on group level.
Revenue from MINISO brand increased by 26.6% YoY to RMB5,173.4 million (US$750.0 million), mainly driven by (i) an increase of 29.6% in revenue from Chinese mainland, powered by its high-single digit SSSG, and (ii) an increase of 21.9% in revenue from overseas markets, powered by its low-single digit SSSG. Overseas revenue contributed 37.5% of revenue from MINISO brand, compared to 39.0% in the same period last year.
Revenue from TOP TOY brand(5) increased by 51.4% YoY to RMB514.5 million (US$74.6 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 RMB3,224.4 million (US$467.4 million), representing an increase of 30.6% YoY.
Gross profit was RMB2,464.0 million (US$357.2 million), representing an increase of 25.8% YoY.
Gross margin was 43.3%, compared to 44.2% in the same period last year. The contraction of gross margin was due to lower revenue contribution from our higher-margin overseas business of MINISO brand, among other factors.
Selling and distribution expenses were RMB1,470.9 million (US$213.2 million), representing an increase of 44.0% YoY. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, selling and distribution expenses were RMB1,394.7 million (US$202.2 million), representing an increase of 37.7% YoY. The increase was mainly attributable to a 34.6% increase in the directly operated stores related expenses including rental and related expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses together with payroll excluding share-based compensation expenses, slowing down from the YoY increase of 50.2% in the full year of 2025. Promotion and advertising expenses increased 73.7%, as a percentage of revenue at around 3%. Logistic expenses increased 43.5%, as a percentage of revenue stabilizing at around 2% in both comparative periods. Licensing expenses increased 42.0%, which was in relation to the Company's strategic commitment to IP development to pave the way for future growth, as a percentage of around 2.6% of revenue, compared to 2.4% in the same period last year.
General and administrative expenses were RMB297.3 million (US$43.1 million), representing an increase of 22.8% YoY. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, general and administrative expenses were RMB264.8 million (US$38.4 million), representing an increase of 17.4% 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 RMB821.8 million (US$119.1 million), compared to RMB20.8 million in the same period last year. The increase was mainly due to an unrealized mark-to-market gain of RMB874.6 million (US$126.8 million) arising from fair value changes of an investment in a limited partnership, reflecting its early stage strategic pre-IPO investment in the AI industry. This was partially offset by a net foreign exchange loss of RMB82.5 million (US$ 12.0million), compared to a net foreign exchange gain of RMB1.6 million in the same period last year.
Operating profit increased 114.3% to RMB1,521.4 million (US$220.6 million), compared with RMB709.8 million in the same period last year, mainly driven by an increase in other net income mentioned above, partially offset by higher equity-settled share-based payment expenses related to TOP TOY compared with the prior-year period.
Operating margin was 26.7%, compared with 16.0% in the same period last year.
Adjusted operating profit(2) was RMB755.5 million (US$109.5 million), compared with RMB734.7 million in the same period last year. If excluding FX(3) , it would have been RMB838.1 million (US$121.5 million), representing an increase of 14.3% YoY.
Adjusted operating margin(2) was 13.3%, compared 16.6% in the same period last year. If excluding FX(3) , it would have been 14.7%.
Net finance cost was RMB104.0 million (US$15.1 million), compared to RMB49.0 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 cost. The increase in finance cost 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 in 2025 (the "Equity Linked Securities"), which is excluded in non-IFRS financial measures(2) , and (iii) increased interest expenses in relation to a borrowing in connection with the acquisition of the equity interest in Yonghui Superstores Co., Ltd * ( ) ("Yonghui" ), which is also excluded in non-IFRS financial measures(2) , driven by the full-quarter recognition of interest on such borrowing in 26Q1 versus a pro-rated portion in the prior-year period.
Share of profit of equity-accounted investees, net of tax was RMB78.2 million (US$11.3 million), compared to share of loss of RMB2.0 million in the same period last year. The YoY increase was mainly attributable to share of profit in Yonghui of RMB77.5 million (US$11.2 million), which has been excluded in non-IFRS financial measures(2) .
Changes in fair value of redemption liabilities were RMB21.4 million (US$3.1 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 RMB50.8 million (US$7.4 million), including loss from fair value change of certain derivative under mark-to-market impact, which is in relation to the Equity Linked Securities and has been excluded in non-IFRS financial measures(2) .
Effective tax rate was 12.3%, compared to 26.6% in the same period last year. The decrease in effective tax rate was primarily driven by non-taxable gain at the consolidation level.
Adjusted effective tax rate(2) was 24.9%, which excluded the impact on effective tax rate as a result of adjusted items, compared to 20.5% in the same period last year.
Profit for the period increased 199.7% YoY to RMB1,248.1 million (US$180.9 million), compared to RMB416.5 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily attributable to the following factors: (i) the unrealized mark-to-market gain of RMB874.6 million (US$126.8 million) from fair value changes of an investment in a limited partnership investing in the AI industry, (ii) RMB77.5 million (US$11.2 million) share of profit from its investment in Yonghui, and (iii) lapping the one-off derivative issuance cost of RMB44.7 million on the Equity Linked Securities recorded in the prior-year period. Such positive contributions were partially offset by the following factors: (i) higher equity-settled share-based payment expenses related to TOP TOY compared with the prior-year period, (ii) net foreign exchange loss of RMB82.5 million (US$12.0 million), reversing the net foreign exchange gain of RMB1.6 million recorded in the same period last year, (iii) 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; and (iv) an increase in interest expenses related to the Equity Linked Securities and bank loans used for acquisition of the equity interest of Yonghui.
Net profit margin was 21.9%, compared to 9.4% in the same period last year.
Adjusted net profit(2) was RMB550.6 million (US$79.8 million), compared to RMB587.2 million in the same period last year. If excluding FX(3) , it would have been RMB633.1 million (US$91.8 million), representing an increase of 8.1% YoY.
Adjusted net margin(2) was 9.7%, compared to 13.3% in the same period last year. If excluding FX(3) , it would have been 11.1%, compared to 13.2% in the same period last year.
Adjusted EBITDA(2) increased 6.6% YoY to RMB1,105.7 million (US$160.3 million).
Adjusted EBITDA margin(2) was 19.4%, compared to 23.4% in the same period last year.
Basic earnings per ADS was RMB4.12 (US$0.60), compared to RMB1.36 in the same period last year, representing an increase of 202.9% YoY.
Diluted earnings per ADS was RMB4.08 (US$0.59), compared to RMB1.36 in the same period last year, representing an increase of 200.0% YoY.
Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per ADS(2) were both RMB1.80 (US$0.26), compared to RMB1.92 and RMB1.88 respectively 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 RMB7,049.1 million (US$1,021.9 million) as of March 31, 2026, compared to RMB7,087.9 million as of December 31, 2025.
Net cash from operating activities was RMB365.2 million (US$52.9 million) for 26Q1, capital expenditure was RMB270.6 million (US$39.2 million) and free cash flow was RMB94.6 million (US$13.7 million).

Exchange Rate
The U.S. dollar (US$) amounts disclosed in this press release, except for those transaction amounts that were actually settled in U.S. dollars, are presented solely for the convenience of the readers. The conversion of Renminbi (RMB) into US$ in this press release is based on the exchange rate set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as of March 31, 2026, which was RMB6.8980 to US$1.0000. The percentages stated in this press release are calculated based on the RMB amounts.
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
In evaluating the business, MINISO considers and uses adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating margin, adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted net profit, adjusted net margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted basic and diluted net earnings per share and adjusted basic and diluted net earnings per ADS as supplemental measures to review and assess its core business performance. 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 26Q1, 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.
For more information on the non-IFRS financial measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures" set forth at the end of this press release.
