Insights

Market Research Analyst

Analyzing the financial results of Yatsen Holding Limited, the increase in net revenues for Q4 2023 by 6.7% indicates a positive market response to the company's strategic transformations and product offerings, particularly in the skincare segment which saw a significant 17.6% increase. This growth trajectory, driven by key brands such as Galénic, DR.WU and Eve Lom, is a testament to the company's ability to adapt and innovate within the dynamic beauty industry. The emphasis on skincare over color cosmetics aligns with broader market trends that prioritize skincare due to its perceived long-term benefits and higher customer loyalty.

However, the overall decrease in total net revenues for the full year of 2023 by 7.9% raises concerns about the sustainability of growth and the company's performance in the color cosmetics segment. This may reflect shifting consumer preferences or increased competition in the market. Investors would be keen to monitor how Yatsen's repositioning efforts for its Perfect Diary brand will influence future revenue streams, especially considering the brand's recent success in the lipstick category.

Financial Analyst

The reported gross margin improvement from 68.0% to 73.6% for the full year indicates a strong pricing strategy and cost management. Yatsen's focus on higher-margin skincare products and disciplined pricing could lead to improved profitability in the long term. However, the significant net loss reported for both Q4 and the full year, with a substantial goodwill impairment charge related to the Eve Lom brand, suggests potential overvaluation of acquired assets or underperformance post-acquisition.

From a financial health perspective, the company's cash, restricted cash and short-term investments of RMB2.08 billion provide a buffer for strategic initiatives. Yet, the increase in operating expenses, particularly in selling and marketing, which rose to 66.9% of total net revenues for Q4, may be a cause for concern as it outpaces revenue growth and could strain future earnings if not managed effectively.

Legal and Compliance Expert

The goodwill impairment of RMB354.0 million recorded for the Eve Lom reporting unit is a critical financial event that reflects management's reassessment of the brand's future earning potential. This impairment indicates that the fair value of the brand has decreased below its carrying amount on the balance sheet, which may be attributed to weaker than expected operating results. Such impairments are closely scrutinized by regulatory bodies for compliance with accounting standards and to ensure that investors receive a transparent picture of a company's financial health.

Additionally, the use of non-GAAP measures like non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP loss from operations is a common practice to provide a clearer view of a company's operational performance by excluding non-recurring or non-cash expenses. However, it is important for investors to understand these adjustments and consider both GAAP and non-GAAP measures when evaluating the company's financial position.

Net Revenues

Total net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2023 increased by 6.7% to RMB1.07 billion (US$151.1 million) from RMB1.01 billion for the prior year period.

As a percentage of total net revenues, selling and marketing expenses for the fourth quarter of 2023 increased to 66.9% from 53.2% for the prior year period.

As a percentage of total net revenues, research and development expenses for the fourth quarter of 2023 increased to 3.4% from 2.5% for the prior year period.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders and non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders per diluted ADS, each a non-GAAP financial measure, in reviewing and assessing its operating performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by the management to evaluate operating performance and formulate business plans. Non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business, provide further information about its results of operations, and enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects. The Company defines non-GAAP income (loss) from operations as income (loss) from operations excluding (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions and (iii) impairment of goodwill. The Company defines non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income (loss) excluding (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions, (iii) revaluation of investments on the share of equity method investments, (iv) impairment of goodwill and (v) tax effects on non-GAAP adjustments. The Company defines non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders as net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding (i) share-based compensation expenses, (ii) amortization of intangible assets resulting from assets and business acquisitions, (iii) revaluation of investments on the share of equity method investments, (iv) impairment of goodwill, (v) tax effects on non-GAAP adjustments and (vi) accretion to redeemable non-controlling interests. Non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders per diluted ADS is computed using non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by weighted average number of diluted ADS outstanding for computing diluted earnings per ADS.

However, the non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools as the non-GAAP financial measures are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating performance. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. Reconciliations of Yatsen's non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure are included at the end of this press release.
