Eternal Beauty, a prominent distributor of global beauty brands, has enlisted the support of BNP Paribas and CITIC Securities as joint sponsors for its renewed main board listing application. The company, which holds exclusive licensing rights for approximately 60 international brands, initially submitted its IPO application in July of the previous year. This strategic move underscores the firm's commitment to expanding its market presence and enhancing its operational capabilities.
The financial performance of Eternal Beauty has been impressive. According to a recent report by WWD, the company reported revenues of RMB1.064 billion for the six-month period ending September 30, 2024, marking a 14.2 percent increase. Additionally, profits surged by 202.2 percent to RMB115 million. These figures highlight the company's robust growth and strong market position.
Industry analysts suggest that China's perfume market is entering a phase of high-quality development, with per capita spending expected to grow at an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14 percent until 2027. The capital raised from this listing will significantly bolster Eternal Beauty's expansion plans, particularly its innovative Perfume Box concept stores. This initiative aims to elevate the consumer experience and further solidify Eternal Beauty's leadership in the luxury fragrance sector. Through strategic investments and market expansion, Eternal Beauty is poised to contribute positively to the industry's growth while fostering a culture of excellence and innovation.
