NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

In evaluating the business, MINISO considers and uses adjusted net profit, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted basic and diluted net earnings per share as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. The presentation of these non-IFRS financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS. MINISO defines adjusted net profit as profit for the period excluding equity-settled share-based payment expenses. MINISO defines adjusted EBITDA as adjusted net profit plus depreciation and amortization, finance costs and income tax expense. MINISO computes adjusted basic and diluted net earnings per share by dividing adjusted net profit attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company by the number of Shares used in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation on an IFRS basis.

MINISO presents these non-IFRS financial measures because they are used by the management to evaluate its operating performance and formulate business plans. These non-IFRS financial measures enable the management to assess its operating results without considering the impacts of the aforementioned non-cash and other adjustment items that MINISO does not consider to be indicative of its operating performance in the future. Accordingly, MINISO believes that the use of these non-IFRS financial measures provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same manner as the management and the Board.

These non-IFRS financial measures are not defined under IFRS and are not presented in accordance with IFRS. These non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using these non-IFRS financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect MINISO’s operations. Further, these non-IFRS financial measures may differ from the non-IFRS information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.

These non- IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to profit, basic and diluted earnings per share, as applicable, or any other measures of performance or as indicators of MINISO’s operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review MINISO’s historical non-IFRS financial measures in light of the most directly comparable IFRS measures, as shown below. The non- IFRS financial measures presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting the usefulness of such measures when analyzing MINISO’s data comparatively. MINISO encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

The following table reconciles our adjusted net profit and adjusted EBITDA, both non-IFRS measures, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024 to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS, which is profit for the period.

BUSINESS REVIEW AND OUTLOOK

Business Review for the Reporting Period

We are a global value retailer offering a variety of trendy lifestyle products featuring IP design. Since we opened our first store in mainland China in 2013, we have successfully incubated two brands – “MINISO” and “TOP TOY”. We have built our flagship brand “MINISO” as a globally recognized retail brand and established a store network worldwide. Our flagship brand “MINISO” offers a frequently-refreshed assortment of lifestyle products covering diverse consumer needs, and consumers are attracted to our products’ trendiness, creativeness, high quality and affordability.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the total number of MINISO stores in mainland China and overseas markets increased from 6,413 as of December 31, 2023 to 6,868 as of June 30, 2024. The number of TOP TOY stores increased from 148 as of December 31, 2023 to 195 as of June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the aggregate GMV of the Group reached approximately RMB14.5 billion.

Brands and Products

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we launched an average of around 940 SKUs in “MINISO” channels per month, and we offered consumers a wide selection of around 10,100 core SKUs, the vast majority of which are under the “MINISO” brand. Our MINISO product offering spans across 11 major categories, including home decor, small electronics, textile, accessories, beauty tools, toys, cosmetics, personal care, snacks, fragrance and perfumes, stationery and gifts.

Under the “TOP TOY” brand, we offered around 9,800 SKUs as of June 30, 2024 across major categories such as blind boxes, toy bricks, model figures, model kits, collectible dolls, Ichiban Kuji and other popular toys.

Store Network

As of June 30, 2024, we served consumers primarily through a network of over 6,800 MINISO stores, including over 4,100 MINISO stores in mainland China and over 2,700 MINISO stores in overseas markets. The following table shows the number of MINISO stores in mainland China and overseas as of the dates presented:

Note:

(1) The closure of MINISO stores was due to various reasons, such as expiration of store leases, increases in store rental, changes in the layout of shopping malls where the stores were located, unprofitableness of certain stores, and closure by MINISO Retail Partners for other considerations, as applicable. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, the overall store closure rate in mainland China were 3.6%, 3.5%, 2.6%, 1.6% and 3.6%, respectively, which were calculated as (a) number of closed stores during the relevant period in mainland China divided by (b) the average number of MINISO stores in mainland China at the beginning and the end of the relevant period.

Our ability to penetrate into various tiers of cities is evidenced by our proven track record of successfully penetrating into various lower-tier cities in mainland China despite our previous experience operating in mostly high-tier Chinese cities. The following table shows the aggregate number of MINISO stores in mainland China by city-tiers as of the dates indicated:

	As of June 30,
	2023		2024
Number of MINISO stores in mainland China
First-tier cities		474		541
Second-tier cities		1,496		1,705
Third- or lower-tier cities		1,634		1,869
Total		3,604		4,115

For expansion of our MINISO store network in mainland China, our efforts will be focused on penetrating into lower-tier cities while expanding deeper into developed cities. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the number of net new stores in first- and second-tier cities accounted for over 50%, indicating a stronger recovery in these cities.

Furthermore, we plan to focus on establishing and reinforcing the recognition of the TOP TOY brand and expanding our TOP TOY store network in first- and second-tier cities in mainland China while also expanding into lower-tier cities.

The MINISO Retail Partner model represents a mutually beneficial relationship between us and the MINISO Retail Partners, where we achieve rapid store network expansion with consistent brand image and consumer experience in an asset-light manner, and our MINISO Retail Partners attain attractive investment opportunities. Our MINISO Retail Partners are also motivated to maintain a loyal relationship with us. The following table shows the number of our MINISO Retail Partners in mainland China for the periods indicated:

	For the six months ended
	June 30,
	2023		2024

Number of new MINISO Retail Partners during the period		71		70

Number of MINISO Retail Partners at the end of the period(1)		1,040		1,070

Notes:

(2) The number of terminated MINISO Retail Partners for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024 were 29 and 64, respectively. The increase in the number of terminated MINISO Retail Partners for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was mainly due to our optimization of MINISO Retail Partners structure, which reduced several long-tail MINISO Retail Partners.

As of June 30, 2024, there were 1,045 MINISO Retail Partners invested in MINISO stores in mainland China, and 605 of them had invested for over three years. We had one distributor for the MINISO brand in Tibet, China during the six months ended June 30, 2024. As of the date of this announcement, there has been no conversion of our collaboration partners in mainland China from a MINISO Retail Partner to a distributor, or vice versa.

The majority of our TOP TOY stores are operated under the MINISO Retail Partner model as well. Among the MINISO Retail Partners shown in the table above, we had 18 and 25 MINISO Retail Partners operating TOP TOY stores as of June 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively.

Store operations in overseas markets

We have adopted flexible store operation models, including direct operation, MINISO Retail Partner model and the distributor model as we expand our global footprints, depending on the growth potential, local regulation and other factors in the markets. In consideration of the evolving local regulatory requirements, market conditions and their operational needs, our overseas franchisees may sometimes convert from a MINISO Retail Partner to a distributor, or vice versa.

As of June 30, 2024, in overseas markets, there were 343 stores directly operated by us and 2,410 stores operated under the MINISO Retail Partner model and distributor model. The following table shows the aggregate number of MINISO stores in overseas markets for the periods indicated:

Recent Developments after the Reporting Period

Save as disclosed in this announcement, there were no other significant events that might affect us since the end of the Reporting Period and up to the date of this announcement.

Business Outlook

In spite of the uncertainties brought by the macro environment, looking forward to the second half of 2024, we will remain focused on our long-term strategic goals: delivering on our globalization strategy, expanding global supply chains, bolstering the strength of our product offerings and further optimizing our store network. Going forward, we expect to further grow our business by pursuing the following strategies.

Engaged in global competition, we will take cost advantages and product differentiation as key points. While sticking to our value-for-money proposition, we will continue to strengthen quality IP cooperation and offer high-quality products featuring IP design to make lifestyle products more fashionable and trendy.

In mainland China, we will keep expanding and upgrading our store network in accordance with the development of different tier cities, while exploring market opportunities for O2O channels, further penetrating into the major cities that we have already covered and seize the opportunities in lower-tier cities.

For overseas markets, we will further expand and optimize our store network by adopting a flexible operating model for each market, and will continue to expand our presence in strategic markets such as North America, Asia and Europe.

Revenue

Our total revenue increased by 25.0% from RMB6,206.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB7,758.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, mainly attributable to an 18.8% year-over-year increase in average store count, and an around 7% same-store sales growth on group level.

Revenue from mainland China was RMB5,026.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, increasing by 17.2% from RMB4,290.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to (i) an increase of 16.5% in revenue from MINISO’s offline stores in mainland China, which was primarily due to a 16.0% year-over-year growth in average store count, and the same-store sales were 98.3% of the prior year’s level, and (ii) an increase of 37.9% in revenue from TOP TOY, which was primarily powered by a strong same-store sales growth of 13.6% and a rapid growth in average store count.

Revenue from overseas markets was RMB2,732.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, increasing by 42.6% from RMB1,915.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to an increase of 21.8% in average store count, coupled with a strong same-store sales growth of 16.3%. Revenue from overseas markets contributed 35.2% of the Company’s total revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 30.9% for the same period in 2023.

Cost of Sales

Our cost of sales increased by 16.5% from RMB3,748.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB4,369.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Our gross profit increased by 37.9% from RMB2,457.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB3,389.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and gross margin increased from 39.6% to 43.7% for the same periods. The increase in gross margin was mainly driven by (i) higher revenue contribution from directly operated markets which accounted for 55.7% of revenue from overseas markets, compared to 45.7% in the same period of 2023, (ii) higher gross margin in mainland China contributed by newly launched products in relation to the Company’s execution of IP strategy and strategic brand upgrade of MINISO, and (iii) higher gross margin of TOP TOY due to a shift in product mix towards more profitable products..

13

Other Income

Our other income increased by 250.4% from RMB3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB12.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which was primarily due to an increase in income from depositary bank.

Selling and Distribution Expenses

Our selling and distribution expenses increased by 65.8% from RMB918.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB1,522.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Excluding equity-settled share-based payment expenses, our selling and distribution expenses increased by 66.4 % from RMB889.8 million to RMB1,480.6 million for the same periods, which was primarily due to the Company’s investments into directly operated stores both in mainland China and overseas markets to pursue the future success of the Company’s business, especially in strategic overseas markets such as the U.S. market. As of June 30, 2024, the total number of directly operated stores in overseas markets was 343, nearly doubling such figure compared to a year ago. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the revenue from directly operated stores increased 111.4%, while related expenses including rental and related expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses and payroll excluding share-based compensation expenses increased 82.7%. These new stores are expected to contribute more substantial sales in the second half of 2024. Promotion and advertising expenses increased 46.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as a percentage of revenue stabilizing at around 3% in both comparative periods. Licensing expenses increased 24.2%, consistent with revenue growth. Logistics expenses increased 54.3%, reflecting the rising freight costs caused by the tension in international shipping during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses increased by 30.9% from RMB319.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB418.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Excluding equity-settled share-based payment expenses, our general and administrative expenses increased by 26.9% from RMB311.6 million to RMB395.6 million for the same periods, which was primarily due to the increase of personnel-related expenses in relation to the growth of the Company’s business.

Other Net Income

Our other net income was RMB41.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to other net income of RMB41.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Impairment Loss on Non-current Assets

Our impairment loss on non-current assets was RMB3.4 million and RMB5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. We recorded impairment loss on non-current assets of directly operated stores.

Operating Profit

As a result of the foregoing, our operating profit increased by 18.1% from RMB1,265.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB1,494.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Net Finance Income

Our net finance income decreased by 45.4% from RMB62.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB34.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which was primarily due to a decrease in interest income as a result of decreased principal in bank deposits, and an increase in finance cost due to increased interest on lease liabilities.

Income Tax Expense

We recorded income tax expense of RMB351.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to RMB310.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Profit for the Period

As a result of the foregoing, our profit for the period increased by 15.7% from RMB1,017.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB1,177.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Adjusted Net Profit (a non-IFRS measure)

Our adjusted net profit, which represents profit for the period excluding equity-settled share-based payment expenses, increased by 17.8% from RMB 1,054.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB1,241.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Adjusted net profit included a net foreign exchange loss of RMB12.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a net foreign exchange gain of RMB54.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Excluding net foreign exchange loss and gain, adjusted net profit would have increased 25.5% year over year.

Adjusted EBITDA (a non-IFRS measure)

Our adjusted EBITDA, which represents adjusted net profit plus depreciation and amortization, finance costs and income tax expense, increased by 26.0% from RMB 1,561.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB1,967.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Net Cash from Operating Activities and Free Cash Flow

Our net cash from operating activities increased by 4.9% year over year to RMB1,293.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our capital expenditure was RMB302.8 million and free cash flow was RMB991.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Current Ratio

Our current ratio was 2.4 as of June 30, 2024, compared to 2.3 as of December 31, 2023. The change in current ratio was primarily due to the increase in current portion of other investments and trade and other receivables.

OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT OUR FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Liquidity and Source of Funding

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we funded our cash requirements principally through cash generated from our operations. As of June 30, 2024, our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, term deposits, and other investments recorded in current assets were RMB6,869.0 million (as of December 31, 2023: RMB6,887.0 million).

Significant Investments

We did not make or hold any significant investments during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Material Acquisitions and Disposals

We did not have any material acquisitions or disposals of subsidiaries, consolidated affiliated entities or associated companies during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Pledge of Assets

As of June 30, 2024, none of our Group’s assets was pledged.

Future Plans for Material Investments or Capital Assets

As of June 30, 2024, we did not have any detailed future plans for material investments or capital assets.

Gearing Ratio

As of June 30, 2024, our gearing ratio was 0.1%, calculated as loans and borrowings divided by total equity as of the end of the period and multiplied by 100%.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Our financial reporting currency is RMB and changes in foreign exchange rates can significantly affect our reported results and consolidated trends. In addition, our results of operations, including margins, are affected by the fluctuation in foreign exchange rates. Our international operations generate revenues primarily in U.S. dollars. Generally, a weakening of RMB against U.S. dollar has a positive effect on our results of operations, while a strengthening of RMB against U.S. dollar has the opposite effect. We have not used any derivative financial instruments to hedge exposure to such risk. To the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into RMB for our operations, appreciation of RMB against U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on RMB amount we receive from the conversion. Conversely, if we decide to convert RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our Shares or American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) or for other business purposes, appreciation of U.S. dollar against RMB would have a negative effect on U.S. dollar amounts available to us.

Contingent Liabilities

Commitment of Tax Payments

In connection with the acquisition of land use right and the construction of the headquarters building in Guangzhou, Miniso (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. (“MINISO Guangzhou”) entered into a letter of intent on November 26, 2020 with the local government of the district where our new headquarters building is located and committed to pay an aggregate amount of tax levies of no less than RMB965.0 million to the local government in Guangzhou for a five-year period starting from January 1, 2021, with RMB160.0 million in 2021, RMB175.0 million in 2022, RMB190.0 million in 2023, RMB210.0 million in 2024 and RMB230.0 million in 2025. If we fail to meet the committed amount for any of the five calendar years, MINISO Guangzhou will have to compensate for the shortfall.

We had met the commitments for the calendar years of 2021, 2022 and 2023 and therefore MINISO Guangzhou was not required to make any compensation to the local government. In March 2024, MINISO Guangzhou provided a performance guarantee of RMB210.0 million issued by a commercial bank to this local government in respect of the commitment of tax payments for the calendar year of 2024, which is valid from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025. The Directors have assessed that, based on the projection of and actual relevant taxes and surcharges paid and payable during the calendar year of 2024, we expect to be able to meet the commitment for the calendar year of 2024 and thus it is not probable that MINISO Guangzhou needs to make any compensation to the local government under the above performance guarantee. As such, no provision has been made in respect of this matter as of June 30, 2024.

Securities class action

In August 2022, a putative federal securities class action was filed against the Company and certain of its officers and Directors (“Defendants”), alleging that Defendants made misleading misstatements or omissions regarding the Company’s business operations and financials in violation of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The action is captioned In re MINISO Group Holding Limited Securities Litigation, 1:22-cv-09864 (S.D.N.Y.). The lead plaintiff selection process was completed in November 2022 and an amended complaint was filed shortly thereafter. The court granted Defendants’ motion to dismiss in February 2024 with leave to amend. Plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration of the court’s decision in late March 2024, to which Defendants have timely responded. Decision on plaintiffs’ motion for reconsideration is pending. Because the case remains in its preliminary stage, Defendants are unable to predict the outcome of the action or estimate the potential losses, if any.

Capital Commitment

As of June 30, 2024, our capital commitment was RMB749.9 million, which was attributable to the construction of the headquarters building.

17

CONNECTED TRANSACTION

On August 30, 2024, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Miniso (Guangzhou), as the tenant, entered into a lease agreement (the “Lease Agreement”) with Miniso (Zhaoqing) Industrial Investment Co., Ltd. (名創優品(肇慶)產業投資有限公司) (“MINISO Zhaoqing”), as the landlord and a connected person of the Company, in relation to the lease of certain warehouses.

18

The principal terms of the Lease Agreement are summarized below:

Lease Agreement

Date	:	August 30, 2024
Premises	:	Numbers 2, 3 and 4 of first floor of Logistics and Distribution Centre, MINISO International Logistics Circle, 16 West Science and Technology Street, Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone, Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province, PRC
Usage	:	Warehouse
Construction area	:	50,019.4 square metres
Term	:	For a fixed term commencing from October 16, 2024 to December 31, 2027 (both days inclusive)
Rent and property management fee	:	Rent and property management fee are subject to progressive increment each year at a fixed rate. The total rent and property management fee payable (inclusive of tax) during the term of the Lease Agreement shall be in the range from RMB20.8 million to RMB25.5 million.
		The amount of rent shall be payable in accordance with the terms of the Lease Agreement on a monthly basis and is expected to be satisfied by the internal resources of the Group.
		The rent and property management fee payable were determined after arm’s length negotiation between the parties, based on the construction standards of the premise with reference to the prevailing market rate and rental fee level of similar logistics and distribution centre for storage purpose (with similar size, land use, conditions and other relevant attributes) in the vicinity of Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone, Zhaoqing City.
Security deposit	:	A security deposit of RMB5.9 million which is equivalent to three months of rent and property management fee (inclusive of tax) shall be payable by MINISO Guangzhou within 30 days of signing the Lease Agreement.
		The deposit will be refunded after the lapse of the term or the termination of the Lease Agreement in accordance with the terms therein.
Lease renewal	:	The current lease for Number 2 of the first floor of Logistics and Distribution Centre (which will originally expire in December 2024) will be subject to early renewal and will form part of subject of the Lease Agreement for administrative convenience.

Reasons for and benefits of entering into the Lease Agreement

The premises will provide the Group with additional space for the storage of goods and merchandise to satisfy the Group’s growing business demand. The location of the premises is close proximity to other existing warehouses leased by the Group and the leasing of the relevant warehouses from MINISO Zhaoqing offers the Group a high degree of tenancy stability. Entering into the Lease Agreement ensures the Group has sufficient space for business development, which will help the Group to improve logistics efficiency, lower business costs and avoid any potential adverse impact on the Group’s business from the administrative inconvenience arisen from frequent warehouse relocation or decentralized distribution of the Group’s warehouses.

19

The Lease Agreement was entered into on an arm’s length negotiations with reference to the prevailing market rents of the premises of comparable size, construction standards, location, facilities, conditions and use. The Lease Agreement also consolidated the leases of several premises on the same floor within the same building under one agreement for administrative convenience.

In light of the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the Lease Agreement is entered into on normal commercial terms that are fair and reasonable, in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company, and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

Listing Rules implications

Mr. Ye Guofu（“Mr. Ye”）is the chairman of the Board, an executive Director, the chief executive officer and a controlling shareholder of the Company and therefore a connected person of the Company under the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities in The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”).

As MINISO Zhaoqing is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of YGF MC Limited which is wholly-owned by Mr. Ye, MINISO Zhaoqing is an associate of Mr. Ye and therefore also a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the entering into of the Lease Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereunder constitute a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to IFRS 16, the Group, as the lessee, shall recognise right-of-use assets under the Lease Agreement in the consolidated statement of financial position of the Group. The value of the right-of-use assets to be recognised at the lease commencement date by the Group in connection with the Lease Agreement is approximately RMB63.6 million. The recognition of a right-of-use asset in respect of the transaction will be regarded as an acquisition of asset under the definition of transaction set out in Rule 14.04(1)(a) of the Listing Rules and treated as an one-off connected transaction under Rule 14A.24(1) of the Listing Rules.

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios under the Listing Rules in respect of the value of right-of-use assets of Lease Agreement exceed 0.1% but are less than 5%, the Lease Agreement is exempt from the independent shareholders’ approval requirement, but is subject to reporting, annual review and announcement requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Mr. Ye has a material interest in the Lease Agreement and as a result, he has abstained from voting on the Board resolutions in relation to the Lease Agreement. Save as disclosed above, none of the Directors had a material interest in the matters contemplated therein nor was any of them required to abstain from voting on the relevant Board resolutions approving the Lease Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

The Board is committed to achieving high corporate governance standards. The Board believes that high corporate governance standards are essential in providing a framework for the Company to safeguard the interests of shareholders and to enhance corporate value and accountability.

Code provision C.2.1 of the Corporate Governance Code recommends, but does not require, that the roles of chairman of the Board and chief executive officer should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual.

21

The Company deviates from this code provision as we do not have a separate chairman and chief executive officer and Mr. Ye currently performs these two roles of the Company. Mr. Ye is our founder and has extensive experience in our business operations and management. The Board believes that vesting the roles of both chairperson and chief executive officer in the same person has the benefit of ensuring consistent leadership within our Group and enables more effective and efficient overall strategic planning for our Group.

The Board will continue to review and consider splitting the roles of chairman of the Board and the chief executive officer of our Company if and when it is appropriate taking into account the circumstances of the Group as a whole.

Compliance with the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors

Specific enquiry has been made of all the Directors and each of the Directors has confirmed that he/she has complied with the Code during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Notes to the unaudited interim financial information

(Expressed in thousands of Renminbi, unless otherwise indicated)

1 Basis of preparation

This interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Listing Rules, including compliance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim financial reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). It was authorised for issue on August 30, 2024.

The interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies adopted in the consolidated financial statements for the six months ended December 31, 2023, except for the accounting policy changes that are expected to be reflected in the 2024 annual financial statements. Details of any changes in accounting policies are set out in Note 2.

The preparation of an interim financial information in conformity with IAS 34 requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses on a year to date basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

This interim financial information contains condensed consolidated financial statements and selected explanatory notes. The notes include an explanation of events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Group since the consolidated financial statements for the six months ended December 31, 2023. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereon do not include all of the information required for a full set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.

The interim financial information is unaudited, but has been reviewed by KPMG in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410, Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity, issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

2 Changes in accounting policies

The IASB has issued a number of amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards that are first effective for the current accounting period of the Group. Of these, the following developments are relevant to the Group’s interim financial information:

·         Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of liabilities as current or non-current

·         Amendments to IAS 1: Non-current liabilities with covenants

·         Amendments to IAS 16: Lease liability in a sale and leaseback

·         Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7: Supplier finance arrangements

None of these developments have had a material effect on how the Group’s results and financial position for the current or prior periods have been prepared or presented in this interim financial information. The Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period.

3 Segment reporting

The Group manages its businesses by divisions, which are organized by a mixture of both brands and geography. In a manner consistent with the way in which information is reported internally to the Group’s most senior executive management for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment, the Group has presented two reportable segments of MINISO brand and TOP TOY brand for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

33

Other operating segments have been aggregated and presented as “other segment”. Business included as other segment did not meet the quantitative thresholds for reportable segments for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The segment information is as follows:

Reportable segments	Operations
MINISO brand	Design, buying and sale of lifestyle products
TOP TOY brand	Design, buying and sale of pop toys

(i) Segment results, assets and liabilities

Information related to each reportable segment is set out below. Segment profit/(loss) before taxation is used to measure performance because management believes that this information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of the respective segments.
