香港, 2025年3月31日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 近日,在家吃饭餐食品牌锅圈食品(股票代码2517.HK)发布了年度业绩,凭借扎实的供应链能力、创新的渠道策略、高效的会员运营,锅圈食品实现营收毛利双增长。2024年,锅圈收入达人民币64.7亿元,同比增长6.2%;毛利为14.2亿元,同比增长4.9%。值得特别注意的是,截至去年年底,锅圈的注册会员达到了4133万名,同比增长了48.2%。而仅在2024年下半年,锅圈的会员数量增长就超过1000万名。而这家港股上市公司,是如何在其它企业在用户增长越来越困难的环境下,通过在家吃饭这个赛道上跑出这样的加速度的?站在行业风口,在家吃饭的"宅经济"红利火锅,不仅仅是味蕾的狂欢,更是中国人餐饮与生活方式的缩影。据行业数据,2023年中国火锅市场规模已突破6000亿元,保持稳定增长,高于餐饮行业整体的增速,预计2025年火锅市场规模达到6500亿元。而除了火锅市场蛋糕不断变大,在家吃饭市场更是高速增长,随着"宅经济"的兴起,在家吃饭成为新蓝海。现在越来越多消费者不再困于餐厅的高昂账单和排队等待,转而追求在家也能吃出"餐厅级"的体验。数据显示,中国在家吃饭餐食产品市场规模预计将在2027年达到9400亿元,年增长率超20%。处在这两块不断扩大的市场中,锅圈正是趋势的精准捕手,它的定位简单却直击痛点:让在家吃饭更简单。从火锅底料到牛羊肉卷,从海鲜拼盘到菌菇蔬菜,再到蘸料和锅具,乃至烧烤小龙虾都一应俱全,锅圈提供了一站式的火锅烧烤解决方案。这种"拎包入锅"的便捷性,不仅迎合了年轻一代的懒人经济,也让火锅从外出大餐变成了日常餐桌的主角。然而市场虽热,竞争肯定不会小。传统商超、地方生鲜品牌乃至电商巨头都在觊觎这块蛋糕。锅圈凭什么脱颖而出?答案藏在它的战略布局中。锅圈的产品力密码:创新驱动,核心经营利润稳步攀升锅圈深谙"得产品者得天下"的道理,产品线满足了从独居青年到多口之家的多元需求。更重要的是,锅圈紧跟消费趋势,创新能力也不可小觑,2024年锅圈就成功推出了412个火锅及烧烤类新SKU,同时还推出深受广大消费者喜爱的多款套餐组合产品,为消费者带去更多元的选择和更愉快的在家用餐体验。这也使得锅圈2024年核心经营利润达人民币3.1亿元,同比增长3.1%。树立供应链护城河,从源头到餐桌的极致掌控食品行业,供应链是命脉。锅圈通过与上游优质供应商深度绑定,确保了食材的新鲜与品质。公司拥有六个食材生产厂,包括生产牛肉产品的和一工厂、生产肉丸产品的丸来丸去工厂、生产火锅底料产品的澄明工厂、生产水产类产品的欢欢工厂、生产滑类产品的逮虾记、和生产酸汤底料产品的台江工厂,实现了产业链的深度布局。通过在产业端的深耕与布局,锅圈不仅持续提升在上游采购端的议价能力,同时释放生产端的规模效应,助力生产成本持续优化,进一步确保了锅圈可以向消费者兑现"好吃方便还不贵"的承诺。而相较之下,潜在竞争者就会受制于供应链短板,难以复制锅圈的规模效应。这种供应链的高效闭环,既是锅圈独特的护城河,也是其竞争优势的重要来源。品牌营销,从线下到线上的流量密码截至去年年底,锅圈零售门店网络已覆盖全国31个省、自治区及直辖市,门店数量已达到10150家门店,在庞大线下网络的基础之上,锅圈借力线上社交电商和短视频平台,所带来的规模效应就十分巨大。2024年,锅圈继续通过多层级的抖音账号扩大消费者触达,全年锅圈品牌及产品在抖音渠道的总曝光量突破62.1亿次。其中,从五月底开始陆续推出的"99元毛肚自由火锅套餐"、"99元酸菜鱼自由火锅套餐"等超高性价比火锅套餐,深受广大消费者欢迎。仅毛肚火锅套餐这一款,全年就累计售出超过人民币5亿元。凭借抖音端的优异表现,锅圈于2024年抖音年度大奖中,斩获最佳品牌先锋大奖。以社交电商为入口,锅圈构建了品牌与消费者的深度交互,这种"线上引流、线下体验"的模式,不仅大大增加了用户量,而且通过线上流量向社区门店的自然导流,增强用户实体店体验感,会让锅圈的品牌形象深入人心,从而可以形成长期消费习惯。而从预付卡数据上观察,锅圈在会员大幅增长的同时,继续加强及深化预付卡计划,预付卡预存金额快速增加,达到约人民币9.9亿元,同比大幅上升36.6%。财务指标健康,现金流充沛,扩张有底气锅圈的野心肯定不止于眼前的蛋糕。在继续拓展多层级的销售网络,提升已覆盖地区的市场渗透率的同时,锅圈计划通过诸如乡镇店等新店型,覆盖更多的县乡市场。与此同时,公司也开始试水海外市场,计划初步探索海外区域市场,向外输出供应链能力,探索海外销售增长点。这种"下沉市场+全球视野"的扩张策略,为锅圈的未来的长期增长埋下了伏笔。而从财务上看,24年度,经营性现金流入为人民币5.31亿元,保持了健康、稳健的现金流。截至2024年12月31日,包括现金、银行存款及理财产品的可动用资金余额为人民币21.25亿元,外部融资依赖低。现金流的健康状态,为锅圈的扩张提供了充足弹药。展望未来,锅圈不仅提到将扩大及深化全渠道销售网络,同时也将继续探索智慧化的无人零售改造,以进一步延长门店营业时间,切入夜宵场景,打造全时段的即时零售门店网络。而针对现有门店,通过加盟商组织及店长组织,继续加强培训赋能,全面提升单店效能。对于新崛起的中国AI能力,锅圈将拥抱AI,赋能上下游,不断提升数字化能力,增强存货流转的高效管理,并通过精准营销,扩大会员群体,提高会员活跃度及复购率。当前,锅圈市盈率约20倍,在锅圈注册会员的高速提升的背景下,未来锅圈业绩兑现实现高比例增长可期,同时结合其高增长、低负债和强现金流的特性,这样低的估值在目前来看也非常具有吸引力。锅圈从一包火锅食材做起,在品类、地域、线上线下不断扩展。未来,它能否成为新的国民乃至国际品牌?相信时间会给出答案。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.
ATLANTA, GA, Mar 31, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Despite fears of job loss, Quality Assurance (QA) professionals are leaning into AI faster than ever, according to Katalon’s newly released 2025 State of Software Quality Report. The report reveals that testers using AI tools are twice as likely to fear being replaced by them, a paradox that underscores the profession’s evolving relationship with automation. Yet those with stronger AI fluency aren’t just adapting—they’re testing faster, leveling up their skills, and reclaiming joy in the work that once burned them out.Source: Katalon, 2025 State of Software Quality Report, https://www.katalon.com That shift is fueled by both urgency and intent. As AI reshapes expectations, 82% of QA professionals say AI skills will be critical in the next 3 to 5 years, and teams are already adapting. The report finds that those with higher AI fluency excel not just at using new tools, but in test planning, problem-solving, and applying AI concepts in real-world scenarios.To close the skills gap, 67% of teams are investing in continuous learning, while 53% are adopting AI-driven testing practices to stay ahead. And for the most advanced teams, QA is no longer just a safeguard, it’s a business enabler. In fact, 77% of respondents say aligning QA with business goals has helped improve customer retention.Katalon’s 2025 State of Software Quality Report surveyed over 1500 quality professionals, from engineers to senior executives, across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. The report explores the challenges, capabilities, and innovations shaping today’s testing landscape—and how QA teams are evolving from execution-focused roles to strategic drivers of business value.“The shift toward AI-powered testing isn’t just accelerating—it’s inevitable. This year’s report validates what we’ve long believed: QA professionals, the unsung heroes of software innovation, are navigating intense pressure to move faster without compromising quality, and their impact is finally being recognized, with 48% of organizations now viewing QA as a competitive advantage. Looking ahead, the future of quality will belong to teams who can combine AI fluency with human insight to lead testing into a smarter, more adaptive era.”– Vu Lam, CEO of KatalonKey highlights of Katalon’s 2025 State of Software Quality Report:* AI Integration with Human Expertise: Testers who blend AI, automation, and manual testing skills with critical thinking, the new generation of hybrid testers—are leading the next wave of innovation in software quality. According to the report, high-maturity QA teams that leverage these hybrid testers are 1.3 times more likely to adopt AI-augmented test optimization and 1.8 times more likely to implement intelligent test maintenance practices like self-healing tests, compared to lower-maturity teams.* The Happiness Edge: Happier QA pros aren’t just more satisfied, they’re more effective. According to the report, they’re 1.4 times more likely to implement advanced automation solutions (46% vs. 34%) and 1.4 times more likely to say AI has improved efficiency and automation in their roles (71% vs. 52%). As organizations modernize, these findings reveal a clear connection between job satisfaction and innovation in software quality.* AI and The Future of QA: AI-driven testing is gaining momentum, with 61% of QA teams adopting it to automate repetitive tasks and free up time for more strategic work. Forward-looking teams are embracing advanced automation tools, augmented with AI, with the potential to make testing more adaptive, efficient, and intelligent. Beyond AI, they’re also investing in performance and load testing tools (34%) and test management platforms (30%) to further optimize workflows and scale quality with confidence.* Redefine quality with AI: The research shows that high-performing teams are modernizing on three critical fronts: 61% are adopting AI-driven tools, 51% are using modern development practices, and 40% are investing in continuous testing.

The manufacturing of these orders has been booked up to 2027. During the Reporting Period, the offshore engineering business of the Group recorded a revenue of RMB 16.556 billion (same period in 2023: RMB 10.452 billion), representing a year-on-year increase of 58.41%, and a net gain of RMB 224 million (same period in 2023: net loss of RMB 31 million).In the offshore engineering asset operation, the slow recovery of the global macro-economy and the volatility of crude oil prices continued to affect the global offshore drilling market. With intensifying market competition, both utilisation rate and rates of offshore drilling faced pressure market in the second half of the year, while oil companies re-examined new energy transformation, adjusted development strategies, slowed down the pace of transformation, and re-focused on oil and gas production. During the Reporting Period, the offshore engineering asset operation and management business of CIMC continued to leverage on its existing project experience and business capabilities, further consolidated its cooperative relationship with customers at home and abroad, and capitalised on its excellent offshore engineering platform operation and management capabilities to improve asset rental rates, successfully signing new lease contracts for 2 platforms. In 2024, the offshore engineering asset pool platform actively capitalized on asset revitalization opportunities, achieving a year-on-year increase in leasing and operational income and a notable reduction in losses.In the energy, chemical, and liquid food equipment business, the Group has overcome cyclical misalignment and fluctuations, supporting the global demand for energy transition.

This is attributable to the Group's proactive adjustment of its business and revenue strategy away from increasing traditional AI project-based revenue (such as the business of Automobile Subsidiary A) and fully engaging in the sustainable growth of pure software AIGC productization business. For the years ending December 31, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, AIGC revenue amounted to RMB6.8 million, RMB39.9 million, RMB117.6 million and RMB221.7 million respectively, accounting for 1.7%, 8.0%, 23.3% and 56.8% of the Group's total revenue respectively. It is worth mentioning that the Group's AIGC business grew by 88.5% year-on-year compared to 2023, truly achieving pure software, high margins and internationalization, and the Group has become the “No. 1 AIGC Company”.The growth of the AIGC business is attributable to the Group's pioneering technologies and the increasingly rich application of AIGC products. 2024 saw the Group's continuous efforts in the areas of AI intelligences, big models and digital people, and the formation of a complete matrix of AIGC products: AI dubbing assistant “Moyin Workshop” (the overseas version of “DupDub”), AI digital human doppelganger “Weta365” (the overseas version of “LivGen”), an enterprise AI interactive digital employee generation platform “AI Ask365”, and an AI video creation platform “Yuan365”, etc.Meanwhile, with business refinement, operational capability and brand influence further enhanced.

The Group is one of those companies that have taken “product and model integration” as a strategic guideline to build data and product barriers on the basis of advanced models (such as “Sequence Monkey” and DeepSeek).On the one hand, “product and model integration” can greatly improve efficiency, self-developed models can quickly respond to their own product needs, cost savings, private customization; on the other hand, the “data flywheel” effect can be formed, through the data to promote the product and the model of the dual self-iterative.From the model level, the Group insisted on model capability iterations in 2024, leading industry breakthroughs in AI intelligences, voice, digital people, video and images.For example, the Group has continuously upgraded the technology of its voice model engine, which has now been iterated to the seventh generation (TicVoice 7.0), and after applying it to “Moyin Workshop” and “DupDub”, not only does the product have supernatural voice cloning and cross-language generation capabilities, but also can be customized to meet the needs of users with boutique-exclusive voices.In the field of digital human, the Group released WetaAvatar 4.0, AI video dubbing and WetaAvatar 4.0 Talking Photo in 2024, which further upgraded Weta365's capabilities. “The case video of Weta365's cooperation with Yiwu Small Commodities once dominated New York's Times Square. In the future, both parties will bring better technical services to over 65,000 small merchants, truly enabling business without boundaries.In the area of AI intelligent bodies, the Group has continued to make in-depth efforts in the area of AI Agent and has landed a product that integrates big model, embodied intelligence and AI Agent, “Xiaoqian Mobile Digital Man”. It has a flexible and mobile body that can realize intelligent following, self-defined route cruising and intelligent obstacle avoidance. At the same time, it is equipped with leading models such as ““Sequence Monkey”” and “DeepSeek” to realize intelligent Q&A.In the future, the Group will continue to adhere to the core strategic anchor of “product and model integration” and promote the deep integration of technology and scenarios, so as to become a global benchmark practitioner of synergistic innovation between products and models.Continuing to build overseas products and focusing on globalized ecological layoutThe Group has a strong overseas gene and has accumulated valuable global business development experience, sales team and media resources during the early years of its hardware overseas products.In 2024, on the one hand, the Group upgraded its overseas AI dubbing product “DupDub”, which was highly recognized by creators from around the world. On the other hand, the Group launched “LivGen”, a one-stop digital human generation platform, which not only brings the ultimate creative experience to creators, but also helps enterprises build “24-hour AI staff without borders” with its rich digital human images and multilingual advantages, thereby realizing cost reduction and efficiency enhancement.In addition to building global products, the Group also focuses on global ecological deployment, and has become partners with international companies such as NVIDIA, Google, Qualcomm, DingTalk, Hicloud and Tencent Cloud to help the industry's ecological development.Fully embrace the AIization of organizations and be the forerunner of the smart business eraThe Group believes that “Organizational AI” will become the core path of enterprise evolution. In this regard, the Group will continue to promote the dual leap of organizational and product AI.Relying on its own technology, the Group will allow AI to penetrate into the operation and management of the organization through data infrastructure, the establishment of Agent workflow, and organizational transformation, so as to enhance the collaboration between AI and human beings, and allow AI to promote the innovation of production relationship and exponentially increase productivity.Looking ahead, the Group will build an AGI-driven future with its “product and model integration” strategy, a healthy and sustainable business model, and an open global ecosystem that anchors long-term value.

And due to other gains arising from emoluments of certain former directors waived of approximately HK$12.2 million, the Group’s profit attributable to owners of the Company increased by 57% year-on-year to HK$33.4 million. Earnings per share of the Company (the “Share”) was HK2.37 cents per Share. The Board recommends resumption of dividend distribution and a final dividend of HK 0.35 cents per share for the year 2024.Sales of white wine products grew well over the year and served as the Group’s primary revenue contributor. Sales of red and white wines products accounted for approximately 41% and 56% for the year (2023: red and white wines: approximately 52% and 44%). The gross margin of red wine products and white wine products in 2024 were 37% and 41% respectively (2023: 32% and 38% respectively). The overall gross profit margin increased to 39% in 2024 (2023: 34%), mainly due to control in production costs and reduction in certain reimbursement of market expenses under sales arrangement during the year.The Group completed the development of the first phase of Tianxia Winery and its ancillary premises, located in the Pigeon Hill Wine Cultural Tourism Town in Qingtongxia City, Ningxia, in the third quarter of the year. The winery is situated nearby Eastern foothill of Helan mountain, Ningxia, which is one of the key quality grape producing regions in the PRC. It integrates pressing, fermentation, processing, testing and research and development as a whole, with an annual production and processing capacity of 5,000 tonnes. Pressing, fermentation, processing facilities had a pre-run in the third quarter of the year. The winery will become a new long-term and stable economic growth point of the Group and help the regional presence and layout of Dynasty wines, as well as aligning with the overall planning and industry planning for the development of China’s wine industry.During the year, the Group approved the set up of two joint venture companies, which have been established in February 2025, for the manufacturing and sales of yellow wine and Chenpi wine in Dongtai City, Jiangsu Province, the PRC and trading of sauce-flavour baijiu products nationwide respectively. For the yellow wine project, construction of a manufacturing plant with a tank capacity of 3,000 tonnes of yellow wine and special yellow wine – Chenpi wine in Jiangsu will be kick-started by the joint venture company in the first half of 2025. The plan starts with special yellow wine – Dongtai Chenpi Wine with a goal to effectively expand product categories, seize development opportunities in the Chinese yellow wine industry, and achieve a major strategic move towards high-quality development of the wine industry. For the sauce-flavour baijiu segment, Dynasty Group’s strategic involvement in this field is an attempt to break through the current wine category innovation. By integrating upstream and downstream related parties to jointly establish a new company, we construct a business model of benefit sharing, risk sharing, continuous cooperation and innovation mechanism. Dynasty sauce-flavour baijiu products, namely ‘Han’, ‘Tang ’, ’Song ’ and ‘Ming ’ are newly launched to the market, satisfying the needs of customer groups with different spending habits and contributing to the Group’s business. In the future, the continuous development and expansion of the sauce-flavour baijiu industry and the enduring improvement of the level of customer groups will inevitably and effectively drive the increase in the sales scale of Dynasty wine and related products, thereby enhancing our industry influence and brand awareness.The Group has been actively pursuing innovation, embracing the “5+4+N” product strategy, with “N” standing for developing various customised products and continuously creating new products to meet the diverse needs of different Chinese consumer groups. During the year, the Group launched a new high-end product, i.e.Dynasty Chinese Zodiac Commemorative Dry Red Wine for the Jia Chen Year of Dragon, integrating the high quality wine with the Chinese zodiac culture and the leading rise of Chinese-style fashionable products. In addition, based on its existing high-quality products, the Group continues to introduce new products and promote product upgrades. It launched a new product, Inherit Series “Passing on the Glory, Continuing the Brilliant Heritage”, at the 110th China Food & Drinks Fair in March 2024, as well as other new products launched in the year such as Long Yun Series, Cabernet Reserve, etc., to further improve its product matrix and provide consumers with diverse consumption choices.

During the year, the Group continued to develop the “Dynasty Tavern” through online channels, creating a series of product promotion articles on the WeChat official account of Dynasty Wines, and promoting Dynasty’s major mainstream products using new media formats. In addition, it integrated the night market environment to expand various wine drinking scenarios and promote Dynasty’s younger products.Regarding online sales, the e-commerce team of the Group comprehensively operates online stores itself on the traditional ecommerce platforms, such as JD.com , Tmall and Pinduoduo for product sales, as well as comprehensive innovation on its brand, product categories, and business systems, procedures and models via interest-based e-commerce platforms, including Rednote , Kuai and TikTok during the year.

Thus, the e-commerce sales consolidated with a certain decrease during the year, but a prominent improvement has been made with an overall profit achieved when compared with last year.
