For the layout of the live broadcast delivery field, Annil Co.Ltd(002875) "has been planned for a long time". In September 2020, Annil Co.Ltd(002875) disclosed a fixed increase plan and proposed to raise no more than 407572400 yuan. The rest of the net funds raised after deducting the issuance expenses will be used for the construction of marketing network digital upgrading project, e-commerce operation center construction project and other projects.

find new growth points
Behind the bet on the live broadcast of online popularity is the dilemma of "dismal" performance of Annil Co.Ltd(002875) . According to the financial report data, in 2019, Annil Co.Ltd(002875) achieved a revenue of 1.327 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9.41%, and a net profit of 42.12 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 49.49%. In 2020, Annil Co.Ltd(002875) achieved a revenue of 1.257 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 5.26%, and a net loss of 46.82 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 211.16%. In the third quarter of 2021, Annil Co.Ltd(002875) achieved a revenue of 193 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 18.56%, and a net loss of 35.41 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 79.92%.
In response to the acquisition of Hongdong horizon equity by its subsidiary, Annil Co.Ltd(002875) disclosed in the announcement that in order to better comply with the development trend of emerging sales formats, the company needs to seek high-quality partners to help the company promote and operate in emerging channels, increase the exposure and attention of the company's products and brands, and promote the sales of the company's products.
"This Kwai Tong investment is not only conducive to fostering new profit growth points, but also conducive to the cooperation of the red movement vision, giving full play to the advantages of all parties, integrating all the advantages of the resources, and using the experience and resources of the red mobile horizon to help the company sell live sales on the platform such as the tiktok and fast hands, and enhance the profitability of the company." Annil Co.Ltd(002875) indicates.
Cheng Weixiong said that Annil Co.Ltd(002875) as a traditional offline children's brand, although it caught up with the good opportunity to be listed and capitalized, there is still no dislocation in brand positioning and product positioning. It is in a weak position in the competition with children's head brands barabarabara and Anta children. The price game of Wuxi Online Offline Communication Information Technology Co.Ltd(300959) is a great challenge to the Red Sea.
In the children's wear industry, Annil Co.Ltd(002875) faces the competition of many brands. In the past two years, Zhejiang Semir Garment Co.Ltd(002563) has continuously reduced its leisure clothing business and expanded its children's clothing business. In the first half of 2021, Zhejiang Semir Garment Co.Ltd(002563) children's wear business accounted for 63.6%, which was due to the growth of children's wear business, and the performance of Zhejiang Semir Garment Co.Ltd(002563) in the third quarter achieved great growth. According to the official disclosure of Zhejiang Semir Garment Co.Ltd(002563) on the investor interaction platform, in the children's clothing market in 2020, the market share of balabalabala brand ranked first in China's children's clothing market.
In addition, brands including Anta, Tebu, Li Ning, Ningbo Peacebird Fashion Co.Ltd(603877) and overseas brands UNIQLO are interested in overweight children's wear business. Among them, Anta has covered the children's clothing market aged 0-14 through the layout of Anta kids, FILA kids and the acquisition of children's clothing brand King kow. The number of its children's stores has increased at a CAGR of 13.4% over the past five years. Tebu also proposed to open 1000 children's clothing stores this year.
Cheng Weixiong said that with the favorable policy of "three children" and the continuous improvement of consumption level, there is indeed a certain development space for children's clothing business. However, at present, due to the diversification of channels, the user circle is relatively scattered. Although many brands have layout, they do not have a standardized leading brand. With the entry of some leading enterprises, intensified competition is inevitable.
"It has become an industry consensus that live broadcasting with goods will increase revenue without increasing profit. For Annil Co.Ltd(002875) , betting on live broadcasting with goods is difficult to become a profit growth point for Annil Co.Ltd(002875) ." Cheng Weixiong said.
