Our income from operation margin5 rebounded to 6.2% this quarter, representing an increase of 2.1 percentage points from the same period last year. Our ‘Dual Focus on Employees and Customers’ has continued to drive improvements in Haidilao restaurants operational performance. With steady growth in guest visits, Haidilao restaurants achieved an overall average table turnover rate1 of 4.0 times per day this quarter. Revenue from Haidilao restaurants increased by 8.4% and same-store sales3 grew by 4.0% year over year. During the quarter, the Company continued to expand its revenue streams, with our delivery business and other business growing by a combined 130.9% compared to the same period last year.”

“Looking ahead, we remain committed to our long-term strategy of ‘Dual Focus on Employees and Customers’.

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Revenue was US$225.9 million, representing an increase of 14.2% from US$197.8 million in the same period of 2025.
| · | Revenue from Haidilao restaurant operations was US$204.2 million, representing an increase of 8.4% from US$188.4 million in the same period of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) significantly improved operational performance at existing Haidilao restaurants driven by our ongoing operational optimization initiatives, with higher overall average table turnover rate1 and increased customer traffic, further strengthening brand influence; and (ii) continued expansion of the restaurant network, resulting in a year-over-year increase in the total number of restaurants. | |
| · | Revenue from delivery business was US$7.3 million, representing an increase of 82.5% from US$4.0 million in the same period of 2025, primarily due to (i) the continuous optimization of delivery products and services based on market demand; and (ii) strengthened strategic marketing collaborations with local food delivery platforms. | |
| · | Revenue from other business was US$14.4 million, representing an increase of 166.7% from US$5.4 million in the same period of 2025. The increase was mainly driven by (i) the increasing popularity of hot pot condiment products, Haidilao-branded and sub-branded food products among local customers and retailers; and (ii) the incubation of secondary branded restaurants under the “Pomegranate Plan” through diversification into multiple business concepts. |
Raw materials and consumables used were US$76.6 million, representing an increase of 14.0% from US$67.2 million in the same period of 2025, primarily driven by (i) business expansion, in line with the Company’s revenue growth; and (ii) increased sales of hot pot condiment products, Haidilao-branded and sub-branded food products, and the expansion of the secondary branded restaurants. In the first quarter of 2026, raw materials and consumables used as a percentage of revenue decreased to 33.9% from 34.0% in the same period of 2025.
Staff costs were US$76.7 million, representing an increase of 9.9% from US$69.8 million in the same period of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) increased number of employees to support the continued expansion of our restaurant network and to ensure superior customer experience across catering services, product quality, restaurant environment, and food safety; and (ii) increased piece-rate wages and total working hours driven by increased guest visits and improved overall average table turnover rate1. As a percentage of revenue, staff costs decreased to 34.0% in the first quarter of 2026 from 35.3% in the same period of 2025.

Income from operation4 was US$14.0 million, representing an increase of 70.7% from US$8.2 million in the same period of 2025. Income from operation margin5 was 6.2%, compared to 4.1% in the same period of 2025. This increase in income from operation margin5 was mainly attributable to (i) the positive operating leverage effect driven by increased revenue and higher overall average table turnover rate1 as described above; and (ii) enhanced operational efficiency through ongoing optimization of operating costs.
Profit for the period was US$4.1 million, compared to US$11.9 million in the same period of 2025. This change was mainly due to an increase in net foreign exchange loss of US$11.7 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period of 2025, which was primarily attributable to foreign exchange fluctuations, particularly the depreciation of local currencies against the U.S. dollar. The impact was partially offset by the improved operating performance as described above.
Basic and diluted net profit per share were both US$0.01, compared to US$0.02 in the same period of 2025.
