Yatsen reports Q2 EPS (9c), consensus 3c

Reports Q2 revenue $109.3M, consensus $118.77M. Jinfeng Huang, founder, chairman and CEO of Yatsen, stated, “China’s beauty industry experienced a subdued second quarter, with the 618 Shopping Festival falling short of expectations and growth lagging the overall consumer goods sector. Our total net revenues declined in the second quarter, while our three major clinical and premium skincare brands, including Galenic, DR.WU and Eve Lom, achieved another quarter of combined net revenue growth. Despite the ongoing uncertainties in consumer demand, we will continue to focus on broadening our product portfolio and optimizing our channel mix with the goal of returning to a growth trajectory while balancing profitability.”
