纽约——2025年5月15日—— DDC Enterprise Ltd.(纽约证券交易所代码:DDC)今日公布了 2024 年全年业绩,并随附创始人、董事长兼首席执行官Norma Chu(朱嘉盈)的致股东信,强调了公司积极的财务表现,并公布了一项开创性的比特币累积战略,有望重塑长期价值创造模式。
致我们尊敬的股东们:
2024年对于DDC来说,是充满变革性增长和战略里程碑的一年。我非常高兴地向大家通报,我们不仅实现了财务预测目标,还超出了预期,在关键指标上表现出色,并为更加激动人心的未来奠定了基础。在迈入2025年之际,凭借严谨的执行力和雄心勃勃的新篇章,我们的发展势头正旺。
2024年财务与运营亮点
收入增长:3,740万美元,同比增长33%,这些得益于战略性收购美国品牌以及核心中国业务的持续韧性。
利润率提升:毛利率提升至28.4%,较2023年的25.0%有所提高,反映了供应链优化和成本管控的严谨性。
迈向盈利:经调整EBITDA亏损收窄至350万美元(不计非经常性支出则为 200 万美元),中国业务全年实现EBITDA盈利。
强化资产负债表:股东权益激增33%至1,130万美元,受益于债务转换和股权发行。截至2025年3月31日,现金、现金等价物和短期投资估计为 2,360 万美元。
团队对运营效率的不懈追求和战略性再投资,让DDC成为一个更精简、更敏捷的团队,随时准备抓住新兴机遇。
2025 年:战略加速之年
在2024年的基础上,我们有望凭借以下两大变革性举措,在2025年实现经调整 EBITDA 盈利:
1.中国合资企业(JV):我们近期宣布的合资企业预计在未来五年内每年贡献 300 万美元的净利润。
2.比特币储备战略:我们正在启动一项开创性举措,使DDC 站在数字资产创新的前沿,专注于比特币累积。
比特币机遇:面向未来的愿景
我非常激动地宣布DDC 的比特币累积战略,这是我们长期价值创造计划的基石。比特币作为价值储存手段和对宏观经济不确定性的对冲工具的独特属性,与我们多元化的储备和提升股东回报的愿景完美契合。
我们的目标:
立即执行100 个比特币的收购,目标是在六个月内累积 500 个比特币,并在36 个月内累积 5,000 个比特币。
由专门的财务管理团队和新扩建的加密货币原生咨询委员会监督该战略,确保有纪律、有风险意识的累积。
这一举措凸显了我们对区块链技术变革潜力的信心,以及我们对开创性企业财务战略的承诺。
展望未来
作为创始人兼首席执行官,我对DDC 的发展轨迹比以往任何时候都更加乐观。2024年的业绩表明我们能够高效扩展,而2025年的举措——尤其是我们的比特币战略——反映了我们面向未来的价值创造思路。我们不仅在适应未来,更在塑造未来。
致我们的股东:感谢你们始终如一的信任。我们携手共建的公司,以创新、韧性和雄心壮志为特色。
此致敬礼
