On August 25, HAIDILAO released its interim results for the six months ending June 30, 2026. The group reported revenue of RMB 22.337 billion, an increase of 7.89% year-on-year; profit attributable to shareholders was RMB 1.767 billion, up 0.47% year-on-year; core operating profit was RMB 2.513 billion, an increase of 4.38% year-on-year; and basic earnings per share were RMB 0.33, with an interim dividend proposed of HKD 0.377 per share. During the reporting period, takeout emerged as the fastest growing segment for the group. In the first half of the year, revenue from takeout services reached RMB 2.051 billion, a year-on-year increase of 121.2%, accounting for 9.2% of the groups total revenue, up from 4.5% in the same period last year. The growth was primarily attributed to two factors: first, an expanded range of product categories, with significant sales growth in single-serving items, represented by mixed rice dishes, which allowed takeout to extend beyond hotpot to cover everyday meal categories; new product lines are also in the process of refinement and market testing; second, the densification of takeout locations, as the group continues to promote its own takeout station model, enhancing coverage and delivery efficiency while reducing the pressure on kitchen capacity in physical stores, thus providing stable support for ongoing order growth.
