Tuhu Auto Services
Tuhu Auto Services (Tuhu) (09690.HK), as the " No.1 stock in the independent automotive after-sales service market," disclosed its full-year performance for 2023, marking the company's first complete report since its listing and the first time it achieved a full-year profit after previously incurring losses. In 2023, several key indicators reached record highs. The company's annual revenue in 2023 reached 13.6 billion yuan, a 17.8% year-on-year increase. The strength is also evident in the company's profitability, as in 2023, based on returning to profit, the company's adjusted net profit reached 480 million yuan. The company's gross profit margin significantly increased to a historic high, rising from 3.9% in 2019 to 24.7% in 2023, with an annual gross profit of 3.36 billion yuan.

Achieving a full-year profit for the first time is another milestone for Tuhu since its listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on September 26 last year. This not only signifies the success of Tuhu Car Care's innovative business model but also serves as evidence of its leading position and strong capabilities in the industry.
