The turnover of XTEP also declined in 2012, from 5 billion 550 million yuan to 4 billion 340 million yuan in 2013, down 21.7% compared to the same period last year. Lining once was a domestic sports brand "one brother". But from the first half of last year's performance, Lining's annual performance is still not optimistic.

In order to reverse the situation, Anta and PEAK have been shutting down stores with poor performance or loss and reducing product categories. < p >

< p > analysis generally believes that 2014 will be the year of recovery of sports brands, and Anta's earnings report shows that orders will increase in the first 3 quarters of 2014.

The running in of each brand and the electronic business platform will also be smoother and the sales volume of the network is expected to be good.

< p > J.P. Morgan pointed out in the above research report that in recent months, the operation situation of Chinese sports and leisure clothing companies has improved. < a target= "_blank" href= "//www.pmae.cn/" > clothing < /a > inventory level is under control, at the worst time has passed.

< /p >

< p > from the data that has been disclosed, Anta has the best performance.

In 2012, Anta's net profit and revenue were 1 billion 359 million yuan and 7 billion 623 million yuan, respectively, down 21.5% and 14.4%, respectively. This is the first time Anta has dropped since it was listed in 2007.

< /p >

< p > it is worth mentioning that Anta's gross profit margin increased by 3.7 percentage points to 41.7% last year, which is significantly higher than that of PEAK's 35.5%, XTEP's 40.2% and 360 degree 39.5%.

Zhu Qinghua told the first financial daily, this is because Anta closes low efficiency stores or ineffective stores, improves single store revenue, on the other hand it forms industrial chain through mergers and acquisitions related enterprises, and participates in outdoor sports with higher gross interest rate, reducing cost by synergistic effect.

< p > Zhu Qinghua also believes that a target= "_blank" href= "//www.pmae.cn/" > dress < /a > enterprises should continue to adjust and pform at the retail terminal.

However, he also pointed out that although many enterprises have high hopes in the children's clothing market, they should still be cautious in their expansion so as not to repeat the same mistakes.
