China Stores
- Revenue from the China Stores was
for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which decreased by or$6.5 million 7.3% , from for the same period of last year. The decrease was mainly due to the decreased revenue from bakery products as well as from other products.$7.0 million - Revenue from bakery products was
for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which decreased by$5.9 million 7.3% , from for the same period of last year. The post-COVID-19 economy in$6.4 million China has recovered at a slower pace than expected, and the spending behavior of consumers has been affected by various factors, such as the economic downward pressure and lack of consumer confidence. As a result, revenue from bakery products decreased due to the decline in average spending per customer and the consumption downgrade during the six months ended June 30, 2024. - Revenue from other products was
for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which decreased by$0.58 million 7.0% , from for the same period of last year. The decrease was mainly due to decreased revenue from seasonal products, which was partially offset by increased revenue from beverage products. Revenue from seasonal products was$0.62 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which decreased by$0.36 million 16.4% from for the same period of last year. The decrease was due to the consumption downgrade as mentioned above.

Revenue from beverage products was$0.44 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase by$0.22 million 14.8% from for the same period of last year, mainly due to increased revenue from freshly brewed coffee products, as the China Stores are focusing on expanding the business of coffee beverages and more coffee bakery stores were opened in the six months ended June 30, 2024.$0.19 million
United States Stores
- Revenue from the
U.S. Stores was for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which decreased by$1.0 million 42.2% from for the same period of last year.

for the six months ended June 30, 2024, with a slight increase by$0.24 million 2.6% from for the same period of last year. The increase was due to the increased revenue from bakery products of approximately$0.23 million , generated by Chanson 3rd Ave and Chanson Broadway. The increase in revenue from bakery products was partially offset by the decreased revenue from Chanson Greenwich of approximately$0.1 million . Many famous bakery brands have opened new stores in$0.09 million New York City , customers now have more choices and revenue from bakery products of Chanson 23rd Street and Chanson Greenwich were affected. With the increased competition, Chanson Greenwich closed its business operation in the second half of fiscal year 2023. - Revenue from beverage products was
for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which decreased by$0.6 million 37.2% from for the same period of last year, primarily due to the closure of Chanson Greenwich as mentioned above. The decrease was also attributable to increased competition from rivals operating in the same area. After the cocktail bars of the United States Stores launched several new types of cocktail products with new flavors and styles, such products became popular among customers and the cocktail bars were often fully booked by reservation. However, the rivals operating in the same area also launched many types of attractive cocktail products, so customers currently have more choices, and revenue from beverage products were adversely affected during the six months ended June 30, 2024.$1.0 million - Revenue from eat-in services was
for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which decreased by$0.2 million 69.7% from for the same period of last year. The decrease was mainly due to the decreased revenue from Chanson Greenwich of approximately$0.6 million as a result of the closure of its business as mentioned above. Moreover, the decrease was due to the slightly decreased revenue from Chanson 23rd Street of approximately$0.4 million , as Chanson 23rd Street adjusted its menu items and customers were adjusting to the new products. The decrease in revenue from eat-in services was partially offset by increased revenue from eat-in services of approximately$0.01 million , generated by Chanson 3rd Ave and Chanson Broadway.$0.02 million
