Among them, the traditional categories of Tangyuan dumplings and zongzi were - 8.1% year-on-year, and the pastry was + 10.4% year-on-year, which was mainly due to the company's adjustment of product structure in supermarkets, cutting off low gross profit products and increasing high gross profit products. According to the split of volume and price, the sales of quick-frozen rice noodles, prepared and refrigerated short-term food were - 1.7% / + 15.8% / + 31.6% year-on-year, and the prices were - 1.5% / + 22.6% / + 6.5% year-on-year. 2) Sub BC end: the green label at B end continues to expand.

Considering that it is mainly caused by channel reform + product structure optimization, at the same time, the price of pork, the company's main raw material, has decreased + Q4 price increase to alleviate the rising pressure of oil, rice and other costs, so the gross sales difference has increased significantly. The management expense rate was 2.04%, with a year-on-year increase of -0.6pct, mainly due to the impact of changes in internal personnel salary and funds; The R & D expense ratio was 1.54%, with a year-on-year increase of + 0.46pct.

Product structure optimization and channel reform continued to advance, and the profitability reached a new level. In the past 21 years, the company has continued to focus on promoting channel reform and sinking, combing the value chain of product lines and channel suitability, and launching products with lower prices and more suitable for low-level cities for sinking (second tier brand fumanji); Adjust the product structure of direct channels and launch high gross profit products to replace low gross profit products. In terms of products, new products such as rice noodles, excavated bags and fillings, such as Hangzhou xiaolongbao; Hot pot ingredients are mainly meat, and new products such as sausage and crispy meat are launched; At the same time, we will develop new quick-frozen convenience food tracks such as air fryer and fried rice, and layout and grow new categories. In terms of channels, major developers of hot pot ingredients expand the market, continue to shrink the proportion of direct channel sales, and optimize the channel structure. We expect the company's profitability to reach a new level under the background of double optimization of product channel structure and low pork cost.
