Big facelift in performance forecast
Receive warning letter
"Guirenniao" was once a well-known sports shoe and clothing brand. According to the company's website information, from 2011 to 2021, the company was listed as one of the "Top 10 Sports Shoe Enterprises in China", "Top 100 Enterprises in China's Light Industry", and "Top 500 Most Valuable Brands in China". In 2014, Guirenniao went public and became the first A-share sports brand. The founder of the company, Lin Tianfu, once ranked on Forbes China Rich List with a wealth of over 10 billion yuan. However, in recent years, the company's performance has declined and it has now been ST rated, with the latest market value of approximately 2.75 billion yuan.
On August 3, 2023, ST Guiren announced that they had received a decision on administrative regulatory measures, and the Fujian Securities Regulatory Bureau issued a warning letter to the company, the then chairman of the company, Li Zhihua, the general manager, Lin Siping, and the CFO, Zhou Wenfeng.
After investigation, ST Guiren disclosed the 2022 annual performance forecast on January 19, 2023, and three months later issued a correction announcement for the performance forecast. The corrected net profit changed from profit to loss, and the difference between the net profit attributable to the parent company after deduction and the forecasted amount exceeded 50%.
At that time, the announcement showed that the company expected to achieve a net profit of 74.7692 million yuan in 2022, with a net profit of 158.443 million yuan after deduction. On April 27th, ST Guiren disclosed a performance forecast correction announcement, predicting a loss of 9.4137 million yuan in 2022; The net profit after deducting non expenses was 69.3683 million yuan.
The performance forecast information disclosed by ST Guiren on January 19th was inaccurate and violated the Management Measures for Information Disclosure of Listed Companies. The Fujian Regulatory Bureau has decided to take administrative regulatory measures against ST Guiren, Li Zhihua, Lin Siping, and Zhou Wenfeng by issuing warning letters.
Regarding the correction of the performance forecast, ST stated that there were significant deductible losses during the reporting period of the company. Due to the accountant's reserved opinion on some of the company's grain trade business for the year 2022, it is uncertain whether the company can obtain sufficient taxable income to offset deductible losses in the future. Therefore, deferred income tax assets arising from temporary differences that can be offset are not recognized for the time being.
According to the 2023 semi annual report of ST Guiren, in the first half of the year, ST Guiren achieved a revenue of 715 million yuan without increasing profits, a year-on-year increase of 9.73%; The net profit loss increased year-on-year, with a loss of 18.145 million yuan, compared to a loss of 17.375 million yuan in the same period last year.

In the first half of the year, the company's main business included three major sectors: sports shoes and clothing, investment promotion and agency operations, and grain business. Among them, the revenue of sports shoes and clothing business decreased by 19.51%.

ST Guiren stated that there is insufficient effective domestic demand for the sports footwear and clothing business of the "Guirenniao" brand, and the sports footwear and clothing industry may enter a turning point. In addition, the rise of niche sports brands has brought great development pressure to small and medium-sized sports footwear and clothing brands represented by "Guirenniao".
In terms of investment promotion and agency operations, in the first half of 2023, the revenue scale of the company's wholly-owned subsidiary's agency operations remained stable, but due to rising costs, the gross profit margin of this part of the business decreased to a certain extent.
In terms of grain business, in the first half of 2023, the company's grain trade business was mainly focused on digesting inventory, while the rice processing and sales business was mainly focused on smooth handover and transition.
