Biem.L.Fdlkk Garment released its 2026 interim report: in 1H26, it achieved revenue of RMB2.60bn, up 23.7% YoY, attributable net profit (NP) of RMB490mn, up 18.4% YoY, and recurring attributable NP of RMB470mn, up 21.2% YoY. In 2Q26, revenue reached RMB1.08bn, up 32.0% YoY, attributable NP was RMB100mn, up 25.9% YoY, and recurring attributable NP was RMB100mn, up 36.4% YoY, with recurring attributable net margin at 8.9%, up 0.3pp YoY, as revenue and profit growth further accelerated from 1Q26. 1H26 growth was driven by high growth in core tops and outerwear categories and the e-commerce channel. This, coupled with contract liabilities at period-end rising 47% YoY, shores up short-term sales growth. We are positive on the company's continued advancement of its multi-brand, omni-channel strategy, sustained high growth in the online channel, and solid advantages in core categories. Maintain BUY.
Multi-brand portfolio advancing
In 1H26, the company's main brand continued to deepen its high-end sports and outdoor positioning around the three series of "lifestyle, outdoor, and golf," with the Biem.L.Fdlkk 5.16 T-shirt Festival generating over RMB100mn in single-day sales for T-shirt/POLO categories, building a category mindshare barrier. At the same time, brands such as KENT&CURWEN, CERRUTI 1881, Snow Peak, and OOFOS advanced in tandem, consolidating the second growth curve. By product, in 1H26, tops revenue was RMB1.47bn, up 31.9% YoY, accounting for 56.5%, with gross margin of 81.0%, up 1.06pp YoY; outerwear revenue was RMB480mn, up 56.8% YoY, accounting for 18.6%, with gross margin of 75.0%, up 1.83pp YoY; bottoms revenue was RMB420mn, down 8.2% YoY, accounting for 16.1%, with gross margin of 74.4%, down 2.77pp YoY. Tops and outerwear remained the revenue growth drivers, with gross margin improving YoY, reflecting the product strength and pricing power of core categories.
Online revenue doubled YoY
The company continued to advance its omni-channel layout integrating online and offline. At the end of 1H26, it had a total of 1,428 terminal stores, with net new openings of 28 during the period, of which 783 were DTC stores with net new openings of 22, and 645 were franchised stores with net new openings of 6. By revenue, DTC revenue was RMB1.66bn, up 17.9% YoY, accounting for 64.0%, remaining the company's retail base; franchised revenue was RMB490mn, up 5.3% YoY, recovering from prior lows; online revenue was RMB430mn, up 101.9% YoY, with its share rising to 16.6%, making it the fastest-growing channel. By gross margin, online/DTC/franchised were 79.6/77.0/70.0%, +1.74/-0.95/+0.45pp YoY. Online high growth was accompanied by gross margin improvement, reflecting the company's optimized operational efficiency across online channels.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
Considering the company's high 2Q profit growth and possible continuation of momentum under its multi-brand, omni-channel strategy, we raise our 2026/2027/2028 revenue forecasts by 5.63/11.32/15.53% to RMB5.32/6.33/ 7.31bn. Considering that rapid revenue growth will drive expense ratio dilution, we raise our attributable NP forecasts by 6.89/16.40/23.89% to RMB750/940/ 1,130mn. With reference to a comparable company average 2026E PE of 16.5x on iFinD consensus, and considering that the company's operating improvement is beginning to show results, we maintain a premium valuation and assign a 2026E PE of 21x, raising our target price to RMB27.61 (previous: RMB24.60, on 20x 2026E PE). Maintain BUY.
Risks: 1) Weaker-than-expected consumption recovery; 2) slower-than-expected ramp-up of new categories and new stores.
