| · | Opened 4 net new

2023 to 119 as of March 31, 2024. |
| | | |
| | · | Total table turnover rate1 and same-store table turnover rate2
were both 3.9 times per day, compared to 3.3 times per day in the same period of 2023. |
| · | Had over 7.3 million
total guest visits, representing an increase of 21.7% from 6.0 million in the same

growth3
was 10.0%, compared to 8.8% in the full year of 2023. |

Mr. Yu Li, CEO & Executive Director of Super Hi, commented, “We
delivered a strong performance in the first quarter of 2024, with a 16.6% increase in revenue and a significant rise in guest visits.
Our commitment to enhancing customers’ dining experience, optimizing our services, and expanding our restaurant network has been
instrumental in achieving these results. We are particularly pleased with the improvement in our same-store sales growth and table turnover
rate, which reflect our ongoing efforts to drive operational excellence. Looking ahead, we will continue to focus on customer satisfaction
and employee effort, while exploring new business models and strategic acquisitions to further enrich our offerings and expand our market
presence.”
Ms. Cong Qu, Financial Director and Board Secretary of Super Hi, added,
“We are thrilled to announce our successful listing on Nasdaq, which marks a significant milestone for Super Hi International Holding
Ltd. This achievement not only enhances our visibility in the global market but also provides us with additional resources to support
our growth initiatives. Our financial performance in the first quarter of 2024 demonstrates our ability to effectively execute our strategic
plans. As we move forward, we remain committed to optimizing our supply chain, building our brand, and leveraging digital support to
empower our restaurants and drive sustainable growth.”
1 Calculated by dividing the total tables served for the
period by the product of total Haidilao restaurant operation days for the period and average table count during the period.
2
Calculated by dividing the total tables served for the period by the product of total Haidilao restaurant operation days
for the period and average table count at the Company’s same stores during the period.
3 Refers to the year-over-year growth of the aggregate
gross revenue from Haidilao restaurant operations at the Company's same stores for the period indicated.
4 Calculated by income from operation divided
by total revenue. Income from operation is calculated by (loss) profit for the period excluding interest income, finance costs, unrealized
foreign exchange differences arising from remeasurement of balances which are not denominated in functional currency, net gain arising
on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and income tax expense.
First Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Revenue was US$187.6 million, representing an increase of 16.6%
from US$160.9 million in the same period of 2023.
| · | Revenue from Haidilao
restaurant operations was US$180.3 million, representing an increase of 15.7% from US$155.8
million in the same period of 2023. The increase was mainly driven by (i) continued recovery
in international markets; (ii) enhanced operational performance of Haidilao restaurants,
which resulted in higher table turnover rates and increased guest visits; and (iii) ongoing
business expansion and increased brand influence. |
| · | Revenue from delivery
business was US$2.9 million, representing an increase of 61.1% from US$1.8 million in the
same period of 2023. The increase was mainly driven by (i) increased brand influence; and
(ii) the Company’s efforts to enhance partnerships with local delivery platforms. |
| · | Revenue from other
business was US$4.4 million, representing an increase of 33.3% from US$3.3 million in the
same period of 2023. This was a result of the growing popularity of hot pot condiment products
and Haidilao-branded and sub-branded food products to local customers and retailers. |
Raw materials and consumables used were US$62.8 million, representing
an increase of 16.5% from US$53.9 million in the same period of 2023. As a percentage of revenue, raw materials and consumables used
remained stable at 33.5% in the first quarter of 2024, unchanged from the same period of 2023.
Staff costs were US$63.6 million, representing an increase
of 19.8% from US$53.1 million in the same period of 2023. As a percentage of revenue, staff costs were 33.9%, compared to 33.0% in the
same period of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the increase in the number of employees in line with the expansion of restaurant network and the increase
in guest visits and table turnover rate, as well as the increase in piece rate wages for the employees.
Income from operations was
US$12.4 million, representing an increase of 9.7% from US$11.3 million in the same period of 2023. Income from operation margin was
6.6%, compared to 7.0% in the same period of 2023. This was primarily due to (i) an increase in revenue, partially offset by increase in raw materials and consumables used and staff costs as described above, (ii) a decrease in other income of US$2.2 million resulting from a decrease in government
grants received during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and (iii) listing expenses of US$0.6 million.
Loss for the period was US$4.5 million, compared to an income
of US$5.6 million in the same period of 2023. This was due to an increase in other losses of US$11.2 million mainly contributed by unrealized foreign exchange losses resulting from
the weakening of other currencies against U.S. dollars.
Basic and diluted net loss per share were both US$0.01,
compared to a basic and diluted net income per share of US$0.01 in the same period of 2023.
