Retail: home appliance chain industry in the best period of development – Gome,
Summary of the report: Suning the first half of the country the United States are a substantial increase in pre-tax profit margin, but the gross margin, expense ratio and performance of both the phenomenon of divergence emerged.

Consolidated gross profit margin: States United States sales of integrated gross margin improved significantly by 1.4 percentage points, reflecting the combined bargaining power of the United States to enhance the country, in addition, take into account the income for tax restructuring is an important reason. Suning consolidated gross margin sales decline primarily to adjust the income structure, as well as lower gross margin products such as the proportion of computer upgrade the.

According to national data reported to the United States and its comparable store sales increase of 0.6%.

3C huge market, low concentration, will accelerate the integration. Home appliance chain enterprises accelerate the transformation to the 3C chain. Integration period, 3C product gross margin decline is inevitable for the time being. However, the rapid decline in gross margin, return on sales does not necessarily lead to decline in output and unit rents, because the rates of low, fast turnaround. We believe that, after 2-3 years of market integration, 3C products, gross margin will be improved.
Home appliance chain enterprises now in the best period of development, because:
Appliance market consumption demand, consumption significantly upgraded;
In the traditional retail and manufacturing home appliances, monopoly competition, have been formed, industry gross margins are presented to improve the situation;
Appliance retail market structure is basically stable, competitive relative ease, enterprises pay more attention to endogenous growth, achieved remarkable results, performance inflection point Suning has occurred;
3C accelerate the integration of product markets, more market space to be the depth of excavation.
