    說到營運支出,第四季營運支出為人民幣2.46億元,比去年同期增加人民幣5,000萬元,主要是因為收入基礎較低。

    銷售及行銷費用為人民幣1.91億元,較上年增加人民幣0.84億元,主要是由於我們拓展海外市場所致;其中,4,300萬元用於海外微出行強化和促銷,另一半來自租金支出,主要是由於地緣政治衝突和2024年預期旺季提早開工導致庫存增加所致。

    第一個是,今年的門市擴張計畫和策略,是否意味著我們要在原有的管道上進行更多的恢復以補充新的通路思維?

    以上兩個是關於我們的,我想知道我們是否願意解決這個問題並進入該領域。

  • Yan Li - CEO

    Yan Li - CEO

  • First off, for some store opening, I think actually a mix of, basically, I think we're still going to be focused on the top 45 cities as a first.

    首先,對於一些商店的開業,我認為實際上是混合的,基本上,我認為我們仍然會首先關注前 45 個城市。

  • Du Joon Lee - Analyst

    Du Joon Lee - Analyst

  • Yes.

    是的。

  • Yan Li - CEO

    Yan Li - CEO

  • And we've opted to expand into other cities for as well.

    我們也選擇擴展到其他城市。

  • So notably in the past, we look at in the last couple of years, because the lithium price hike, we have lost roughly about 45 anchor stores.

    因此,值得注意的是,我們在過去幾年中看到,由於鋰價格上漲,我們失去了大約 45 家主力店。

  • So I think the expansion for actually including the store we have lost and the and reclaiming back, as well as opening new stores.

    因此,我認為擴張實際上包括我們失去的商店和收回的商店,以及開設新商店。

  • So I think -- we have a clear road map, actually our location map on where to open stores, based on our new product portfolios.

    所以我認為——我們有一個清晰的路線圖,實際上是我們根據新產品組合在哪裡開設商店的位置圖。

  • Now, I think with the second question about competitors, I think if you look at our product portfolio, product offerings, our current product offerings is basically price range anywhere between basically RMB3,500 above to up to RMB12,000.

    現在,我認為關於競爭對手的第二個問題,我認為如果你看看我們的產品組合、產品供應,我們目前的產品供應基本上價格範圍在 3,500 元以上到 12,000 元人民幣之間。

  • So you will have an entire market of the volume above RMB3,500.

    這樣你就擁有了整個3500元以上的市場。

  • That volume is basically somewhere around14 to 16 million units.

    該銷量基本上約為 1400 至 1600 萬台。

  • So within that, let's call that our addressable market at 14 to 16 million units, and with that number last year, we implemented was 600,000.

    因此,我們的目標市場數量為 1,400 至 1,600 萬台,去年我們實施的數量為 60 萬台。

  • So even with this year's forecast, I think the addressable market is still very significant large than our volume target.

    因此,即使根據今年的預測,我認為潛在市場仍然比我們的銷售目標大得多。

  • So in the sense that, I think we're less worried about competitors.

    所以從這個意義上來說,我認為我們不太擔心競爭對手。

  • I think we're more focused internally on how we are getting the best product out there and how to expand the channel, expanded the stores, so that interested consumers actually have a location to have acquire the product.

    我認為我們內部更關注如何獲得最好的產品,以及如何擴大通路、擴大商店,以便有興趣的消費者實際上有一個地方可以購買產品。

  • I think that's sort of hopefully that addresses your second question.

    我認為這有望解決你的第二個問題。

    我們對該行業的影響有何看法?

  • And the second is, our users are more concentrated in high tier cities ,as you just mentioned, and also our users a time of using our products, it's quite is relatively long and has accumulated for a long time.

    第二個就是我們的使用者比較集中在一線城市,就像你剛才提到的,而且我們的使用者使用我們產品的時間也比較長,累積了很長一段時間。

  • So I'm very curious about whether we can or we have ever done some analyses of our users' behavior on whether we can detect change in their consumption habits from this accumulated data, such as changes in the cycle changing, costs for batteries?

    所以我很好奇我們是否可以或曾經對使用者的行為進行過一些分析,是否可以從這些累積的數據中發現他們的消費習慣的變化,例如週期的變化,電池成本的變化?

    我認為首先,透過《消防法》解決這個問題,我想我們知道,這是不幸的。

  • So I think what it really costs are for high quality products.

    所以我認為真正的成本是高品質的產品。

  • And I think that -- so in the case with what we are observing the market as many people who buy products, either low quality or the byproduct, then they buy the argument of scooters, but the continent with a modest by third party lithium batteries and usually there's a third party.

    我認為 - 因此,在我們觀察市場的情況下,許多人購買產品,無論是低品質的產品還是副產品,然後他們購買踏板車的論點,但大陸的第三方鋰電池數量不多通常還有第三方。

  • Lithium battery are second hand lithium batteries with according manufactured with low quality.

    鋰電池是二手鋰電池,品質低劣。

  • That's where costed.

    這就是成本所在。

  • So I'm not sure with that actually the cost of managing fire, but that's my own experience back then throughout the time, it actually modify lithium batteries backup, not our internal manufacturing ones are one of the main causes.

    所以我不確定這實際上是管理火災的成本,但這是我自己當時的經驗,它實際上修改了備用鋰電池,而不是我們內部製造的電池是主要原因之一。

  • So I think from our perspective, I mean, we have actually taken many cautious, a preventive measures with that bar scooters only work with our batteries, not working with third parties and batteries.

    所以我認為從我們的角度來看,我的意思是,我們實際上採取了許多謹慎的預防措施,即酒吧滑板車只能使用我們的電池,而不是與第三方和電池一起使用。

  • And I think with this, I think it's basically a say a basically no risk about say in-orbit.

    我認為有了這個,我認為這基本上是說在軌道上基本上沒有風險。

  • It's basically I think it's basically people qualified for pricing is a high quality product with our channel partners are necessary and to guaranteed, so I think that's actually a pretty advantage for us.

    基本上,我認為基本上有資格定價的人是高品質的產品,我們的通路合作夥伴是必要的和有保證的,所以我認為這對我們來說實際上是一個相當大的優勢。

  • No, I think the in terms of the your second question about the user behaviors, I think, typically, we observed that people tend to keep this scooters.

    不,我認為就你關於使用者行為的第二個問題而言,我認為,通常我們觀察到人們傾向於保留這種踏板車。

  • Roughly about three to four years, I think three years roughly, the usage cycle on.

    大概三、四年左右吧,我想大概三年吧,使用周期就這樣。

  • I think the key for us is we're highly morbid too concentrated in the top tier cities.

    我認為對我們來說關鍵是我們病態程度太高,過度集中在一線城市。

  • I think this year.

    我想今年。

  • That's actually what we're looking at is actually looking at the sites you're gaining market share in the top tier cities has actually extend our footprint and getting more coverage at voice market shares, in the Tier two and Tier three cities, with products that are suitable for those markets.

    實際上,我們正​​在關注的是在一線城市獲得市場份額的網站實際上擴大了我們的足跡,並透過產品在二線和三線城市的語音市場份額上獲得了更多覆蓋適合這些市場的產品。

  • Hi. thank you for receiving my questions.

    你好。感謝您接受我的問題。

  • My first question is about our sales volume target.

    我的第一個問題是關於我們的銷售目標。

  • As we can see the target growth for 2024 is a more optimistic than last year.

    我們可以看到,2024 年的成長目標比去年更樂觀。

  • And so I like to know what is it target sales volume of kick scooters?

    所以我想知道滑板車的目標銷售量是多少?

  • And what is the shelf topic for two wheelers, especially for domestic and overseas market?

    兩輪車的貨架主題是什麼,尤其是國內和海外市場?

  • This is my first question.

    這是我的第一個問題。

  • Thank you.

    謝謝。

  • Yan Li - CEO

    Yan Li - CEO

  • No, I think for the kick scooters, we are looking at -- because in the past few years, even though the selling volume to our distributors remain roughly constant, but the sell all basically that sell to the consumer has been doubled compared to 2023 to 2022.

    不,我認為對於滑板車,我們正在關注 - 因為在過去幾年中,儘管我們經銷商的銷量大致保持不變,但基本上所有銷售給消費者的銷量與 2023 年相比已經翻了一番到2022 年。

  • So that's because of the comprehensive product portfolio.

    這是因為全面的產品組合。

  • Also, over the year, we're actually able to get to all the offline channels.

    另外,這一年來,我們實際上已經能夠接觸到所有的線下管道。

  • So effectively, sell all volume, this year also double, which somewhat outstripped what implying the selling volume to the distribution distributors actually double as well.

    因此,實際上,今年的所有銷售量也翻了一番,這在某種程度上超出了分銷商的銷售量實際上也翻倍的情況。

  • So at the kick scooter, we're also looking at somewhere anywhere between 200,000 to 250,000 units.

    因此,對於踏板車,我們也在考慮 200,000 至 250,000 輛之間的任何地方。

  • So I think that at some of the peaks to school markets, then the rest of this is the of the electric two-wheeler.

    所以我認為,在學校市場的一些高峰期,剩下的就是電動兩輪車的市場。

  • And within the electrical two-wheeler market where volume, I think majority of them are going to be in the China side where the international electric two-wheeler side, electric motorcycles, probably somewhere around 20,000 to 30,000 units. and the rest of it, all China.

    在電動兩輪車市場的銷量中,我認為其中大部分將在中國一側,國際電動兩輪車一側,電動摩托車,可能在20,000至30,000輛左右。其餘的,全是中國。

  • Yatin Chan - Analyst

    Yatin Chan - Analyst

  • Thank you very much.

    非常感謝。

  • And my first question.

    我的第一個問題。

  • And my second question is about our of our profit margin, especially, I like to know our product strategy in 2024, to us to achieve our sales volume target, we have average selling price or all profit margin, it will decline in 2024.

    我的第二個問題是關於我們的利潤率,特別是,我想知道我們在2024年的產品策略,為了我們實現我們的銷售目標,我們的平均售價或所有利潤率,它會在2024年下降。

  • Yan Li - CEO

    Yan Li - CEO

  • Basically, when we look at, I get this question annualize our first customer product launch for the MXT in March.

    基本上,當我們查看時,我會在 3 月每年推出 MXT 的第一個客戶產品時遇到這個問題。

  • So that actually more of the premium or high end product for our case, the retail pricing between RMB6,000 to RMB12,000.

    因此,實際上我們的案例更多的是優質或高端產品,零售價在人民幣 6,000 元至人民幣 12,000 元之間。

  • But then you look at another product, which is launched, it's called [yuwayi], basically after the yuan, which is a few days ago, that retail pricing is around RMB4,000.

    但你再看另外一個產品,它推出了,它叫【yuwayi】,基本上都是人民幣之後的,這是前幾天的零售價在4000元左右。

  • So if you look at across the board, we expect our average as key to roughly remain constant compared with last year.

    因此,如果你全面考慮,我們預計我們的平均平均值與去年相比大致保持不變。

  • So I'll ask Fion to comment some on the margin part.

    所以我會請 Fion 對頁邊空白部分發表一些評論。

  • Fion Zhou - CFO

    Fion Zhou - CFO

  • Yes, I can just mention that, even though that we operated on classic, our classic Intuit and we are about to launch two new products during the following months, with a better on pricing versus the product.

    是的,我只能提一下,儘管我們使用的是經典產品,我們的經典 Intuit,並且我們即將在接下來的幾個月內推出兩款新產品,其定價比產品更好。

  • But the ASP will stay at a relatively flat level in the domestic product line.

    但國內產品線的平均售價將維持在相對穩定的水平。

  • As in the new overseas product line, since we have a highly expectation on the numerous high-quality [Multaq] recovery in overseas markets with those are almost a three to four times higher than the are kick scooters ASP.

    至於新的海外產品線,我們對海外市場眾多高品質的[Multaq]復甦寄予厚望,這些產品的平均售價幾乎比滑板車高出三到四倍。

  • So we will we expect a slightly recovering from the overseas scooters ASP in 2024.

    因此,我們預計海外踏板車的平均售價將在 2024 年略有回升。

  • Altogether, will give us a plan on in scooter ASP, almost at the same level in this year.

    總而言之,將為我們提供踏板車平均售價的計劃,今年幾乎處於同一水平。

  • Go back to the gross margin for the domestic scooters and in overseas scooters, we were expecting a slightly gross margin increase to [1.22 points PBD] together, blended with the domestic and the overseas markets.

    回到國內踏板車和海外踏板車的毛利率,我們預期毛利率將小幅上漲至[1.22點PBD],結合國內和海外市場。

  • As you know, we have already made the cost efficiently, those operational activity in 2023.

    如您所知,我們已經在 2023 年實現了這些營運活動的成本效益。

  • And with the scale of the sales volume increase, we may get the benefit from the gross margin, but we didn't expect a higher gross margin increase, because we're dealing consider sharing the profit with our dealers.

    而且隨著銷售規模的增加,我們可能會從毛利率中受益,但我們並沒有預期毛利率會更高,因為我們在交易時考慮與我們的經銷商分享利潤。

  • And also, the overseas market expansion with our partners.

    還有,與我們的合作夥伴一起拓展海外市場。

  • That's why we consider the gross margin altogether.

    這就是為什麼我們完全考慮毛利率。

  • We only know increased to one increase of one to two points PPG for the whole year.

    我們只知道全年 PPG 增加了一到兩分。

  • Yatin Chan - Analyst

    Yatin Chan - Analyst

  • Well, thank you very much.

    好的,謝謝。

  • And my last question is on is, I like to note, do you have any guidance for and 2024 on the selling expense ratio, will it grow or remain steady comparing with 2023?

    我的最後一個問題是,我想指出,您對 2024 年的銷售費用率有什麼指導嗎?與 2023 年相比,它會增長還是保持穩定?

  • Fion Zhou - CFO

    Fion Zhou - CFO

  • While you might raise a very special case, since we are in the transition of the overseas expansion and also you're only on the heart in the domestic market.

    雖然你可能會提出一個非常特殊的案例,因為我們正處於海外擴張的轉型期,而你只專注於國內市場。

  • That's why the expenses ratio is pretty high.

    這就是費用比率相當高的原因。

  • But, you know, I think the benchmark for the expenses, as percentage of revenue, we could use benchmarking the second half of 2021 to 2022.

    但是,你知道,我認為支出佔收入的百分比的基準,我們可以使用 2021 年下半年到 2022 年的基準。

  • We will try to bring back the expenses percentage of revenue, go back to that level, which means at least we will -- maintain the expenses within, you know, 20% to 24%, since it's a, a slightly large range.

    我們將努力恢復支出佔收入的比例,回到那個水平,這意味著至少我們會——將支出維持在 20% 到 24% 之內,因為這是一個稍大的範圍。

  • We are still in the initial transition for the overseas and the domestic market balance.

    我們也處於海外和國內市場平衡的初步過渡階段。

  • But you know, in the first half of 2022 and the second half of 2021, a benchmark of the expenses ratio, so this is our target for 2024 expenses ratio.

    但你知道,2022年上半年和2021年下半年是費用率的一個基準,所以這是我們2024年費用率的目標。

  • Yes, hello, Dr. Lee, I'd just like to ask a question about the balance sheet in these slightly tough trading conditions.

    是的,你好,李博士,我想問一個關於在這些稍微困難的交易條件下的資產負債表的問題。

  • You and your team have done a good job maintaining a good cash level in the balance sheet.

    您和您的團隊在資產負債表中保持良好的現金水準方面做得很好。

  • Can you just give us a feel for looking forwards this year, particularly as you've explained, you're going to be spending some money on your international expansion and also continuing to launch many new products?

    您能否為我們介紹今年的展望,特別是正如您所解釋的,您將在國際擴張上投入一些資金,並繼續推出許多新產品?

  • Can you just give some feel for what the balance sheet from the cash positions likely to look like going forward, please?

    您能否從現金部位來看一下未來資產負債表可能會是什麼樣子?

  • Fion Zhou - CFO

    Fion Zhou - CFO

  • Well, this is Fion from Niu.

    嗯,這是 Niu 的 Fion。

  • I think I can give the trend of our balance sheet in that exact figures, because you know, we are still in the very beginning of our [20 points What] I just mentioned, is that for the operating activities and strategies, we introduced.

    我想我可以用那個確切的數字給出我們資產負債表的趨勢,因為你知道,我們仍然處於我們的[20點什麼]的最開始階段,我剛才提到的是,對於我們介紹的經營活動和戰略。

  • On top of that, we may spend higher CapEx on the store opening in domestic markets.

    最重要的是,我們可能會在國內市場開店花費更高的資本支出。

  • I think this is the non-operating consumption in the domestic strategy.

    我覺得這就是非經營性消費在國內的策略。

  • Well on the overseas market, we didn't expect it any large CapEx.

    在海外市場,我們預期不會有任何大筆的資本支出。

  • Operational activities will happening 2024 is how we launch our products in our in our strategic partner stores.

    營運活動將於 2024 年進行,這就是我們在策略合作夥伴商店中推出產品的方式。

  • And so, those are purely operational activities.

    因此,這些純粹是營運活動。

  • We were lacking in the operational cash flow.

    我們缺乏營運現金流。

  • So this is the cash flow part and the CapEx part.

    這是現金流部分和資本支出部分。

  • In the meantime, we didn't expect the huge increase in our receivables or payables, since the business model is very, very straightforward.

    同時,我們也沒有預料到我們的應收帳款或應付帳款會大幅增加,因為商業模式非常非常簡單。

  • And we didn't expect the higher increase in the inventory as well.

    我們也沒有預料到庫存的增幅會更高。

  • Because, right now, we already have enough inventory for the big season sales in 2024.

    因為,目前我們已經有足夠的庫存來應付 2024 年的旺季銷售。

  • And after that, we may remain a relatively secure level of the inventory, but we're not reach to them that the higher one in 2023.

    在那之後,我們的庫存可能會保持在相對安全的水平,但我們不會在 2023 年達到更高的水平。

  • So I think the business model and change.

    所以我認為商業模式又要改變。

  • If we want to expand the stores in domestic market, it will bring up the CapEx.

    如果我們要擴大國內市場的門市,就會帶來資本支出。

  • While the current production has already reached to 2 million production capacity and we didn't expect as high as this level of sales volume.

    雖然目前的產量已經達到200萬隻的產能,但我們並沒有想到銷量會這麼高。

  • So we don't we don't have further demand on the expansion of our facilities.

    所以我們沒有進一步擴大我們的設施的需求。

  • I hope this will address your question.

    我希望這能解決您的問題。
