On August 16, Li-Ning released its interim results for H1 2024, emphasizing “steadiness” as the core theme. The running category saw a 25% revenue increase, making it the fastest-growing segment. Li-Ning’s shoe business revenue reached 7.84 billion yuan, 3.6 times that of the same period in 2018. Despite focusing on running, Li-Ning is diversifying into women’s, outdoor, and youth markets. Co-CEO Qian Wei highlights the pursuit of sports demand and performance as the main growth drivers. H1 2024 revenue was 14.345 billion yuan, up 2.3% YoY, with a gross profit of 7.236 billion yuan, a 5.8% increase. The gross profit margin rose to 50.4%, up 1.6% from the previous year.

The company faces market pressures from consumption downgrade but has shown its capabilities with sports technology, building five core categories and maintaining a “single-brand, multi-category, multi-channel” strategy. Li-Ning’s technology was also showcased at the Paris Olympics, where teams it cooperated with won 18 of China’s 40 gold medals, reinforcing its professional sports image.
