For 2025,Arrow Home’s revenue/attributable net profit(NP)fell by 9.21/31.43%YoY to RMB6,474/46mn.Attributable NP was lower than our expectation of RMB180mn,mainly because sluggish demand and slow price recovery led to lower-than-expected revenue.For 1Q26,revenue fell by 6.9%YoY to RMB980mn,and net loss narrowed by 12.1%YoY to RMB60mn.Arrow Home’s revenue remained under short-term pressure,but its GPM continued to pick up.Maintain HOLD.
Distribution/product mix optimization shored up profitability
By product,for 2025,revenues from sanitary ceramics/faucet hardware/bathroom furniture were RMB3,030/1,950/810mn(-13.2/-5.6/+3.2%YoY),with GPMs of 26.9/23.5/24.8%(+2.3/-0.6/+2.5pp YoY).Specifically,the GPM of sanitary ceramics rose YoY,mainly as the revenue proportion of higher-margin smart toilets rose by 1.4pp to 23%.For 2025,the sales volume of smart toilets rose by 4.9%YoY to 1,248.1k units but revenue fell by 3.5%YoY to RMB1.47bn.By channel,for 2025,revenues from domestic distribution retail/e-commerce/home fit-out/engineering were RMB2,600/1,300/1,100/1,280mn(+5.0/-15.4/-6.7/-17.3%YoY).The growth in the retail channel was mainly driven by the company’s‘store efficiency multiplication’project.For 2025/1Q26,overall GPM rose by 0.8/0.8pp YoY to 26.0/29.9%,indicating acontinued improvement in profitability.
Total expenses declined but expense ratio rose YoY
For 2025,overall expenses fell by RMB100mn YoY to RMB1,540mn,but the overall expense ratio rose by 0.8pp YoY to 23.8%,mainly because YoY revenue contraction limited the dilution of sales and administrative expenses.Specifically,the sales/administrative/R&D/financial expense ratios were 8.7/9.3/5.2/0.6%(+0.6/+0.1/flat/+0.1pp YoY).For 2025,the net operating cash inflow fell by 94%YoY to RMB30mn,which we attribute to falling cash received from the sale of goods and provision of services,and alarge amount of cash payments for 2024 material bills.Arrow Home continued to optimize its asset-liability structure.At end-2025,the assets-liabilities ratio fell by 3.6pp YoY to 48.1%,and further fell to 46.5%at end-1Q26.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
Considering sluggish downstream demand recovery,adding that the company is moving towards high-quality growth through product mix adjustment and channel transformation,we lower our revenue and GPM forecasts.Meanwhile,due to the increase in sales and administrative expenses driven by overseas market expansion and the implementation of the store efficiency multiplication project,we raise our sales and administrative expense ratio assumptions.We project 2026/2027/2028 attributable NP of RMB136/195/281mn(-62/-57%vs our previous forecasts of RMB360/450mn for 2026/2027).Considering that it could take more time for the company’s smart products and channel transformation to drive earnings growth,we switch to aPB valuation,and value the stock at 1.5x 2026E PB(based on our 2026E BVPS forecast of RMB5.0),in line with its peers’average on Wind consensus.Our target price is RMB7.50(previous:RMB9.25,based on 25x 2026E PE).Maintain HOLD.
