2、 报告期公司主要业务简介 (一) 国内乳制品行业发展现状 – 根据国家统计局数据,2024年1 12月全国乳制品产量为2,961.80万吨,产量基本稳定。然而,受消费环境的影响,乳制品市场出现了供需阶段性失衡和消费需求不振的问题。根据2024年中国奶业协会发布的《中国奶业战略发展重点课题研究报告》,2023年我国人均乳制品消费量仅相当于世界平均水平的三分之一左右,其中干乳制品在奶类产品中的消费占比仅约为22.6%,总体消费水平仍较低。因此,有必要进一步优化我国乳制品生产和消费结构。 近年来国家政策亦积极支持优化乳制品产品结构,满足居民消费升级的需要。中国营养学会2022年发布《中国居民膳食指南(2022)》,建议中国居民每人每天摄入300至500克乳制品,并将奶酪列为日常饮食必需品之一;2024年中央一号文件明确提出要扩大乳制品消费,支持优化乳制品产品结构,以满足居民消费升级的需求;2025年中央一号文件明确提出“推进肉牛、奶牛产业纾困,稳定基础产能”,并将“落实灭菌乳国家标准”“支持奶业养殖加工一体化”列为重点任务。相关国家部委研究所,以及《人民日报》《经济日报》等央媒也 刊登促进奶业振兴发展的相关文章,明确提出要发展具有中国特色的干乳制品产业,让奶酪等干乳制品成为消费者餐桌上的新选择,从而提升居民乳制品摄入量。 (二) 国内奶酪行业发展现状 经过多年发展,当前我国液态奶、酸奶、奶粉等细分行业发展已较为成熟,而奶酪受益乳品消费和产业升级以及政策推动,正处于早期成长阶段,逐渐成为未来乳制品行业的主要增长点之一。 年度报告摘要 虽然最近两年奶酪产业的发展受到整体消费环境影响,但是乳制品产业升级趋势、“喝奶”与“吃奶”并行的消费趋势以及奶酪渗透率提升趋势并未改变。近几年,奶酪在B端和C端的应用创新不断,奶酪营养健康的功能属性和富含情绪价值的体验赢得越来越多消费者的拥趸。奶酪在烘焙、茶饮、咖啡等餐饮场景的“准刚需”属性日益明显,在社交媒体上的话题热度持续攀升,带动更多人尝试奶酪并喜欢上奶酪,形成社交传播与消费增长的良性循环。在渠道革新浪潮下,社区零售、便利店、即时零售、折扣化业态以及会员模式成为消费新风尚,奶酪口味在势能渠道和平台广受欢迎,多款芝士口味产品进入必买榜单。 作为一家以奶酪为核心业务的A股上市公司,公司依托在产品、品牌、渠道方面的核心竞争力,在奶酪行业的市场占有率持续领先。根据凯度消费者指数家庭样组,在2024年中国奶酪品牌销售额中,妙可蓝多奶酪市场占有率超过37%,奶酪棒市场占有率持续增长,稳居行业第一。另根据Euromonitor统计,中国奶酪零售市场品牌市场占有率中,2024年妙可蓝多持续保持排名第一。多方数据表明奶酪市场份额正在逐步向头部企业集中。 (三) 主营业务及核心产品 公司致力于“让奶酪进入每一个家庭”,经过近几年的快速发展已在行业内建立一定的领先优势。公司主营业务为以奶酪为核心的特色乳制品的研发、生产和销售,其中奶酪产品可以进一步细分为即食营养系列、家庭餐桌系列和餐饮工业系列。同时公司也从事液态奶的研发、生产和销售,以及乳制品贸易业务。公司将坚定推行“聚焦奶酪”战略,集中资源发展更具成长前景的奶酪产品业务。 公司生产产品包括即食营养系列的奶酪棒、成人手撕奶酪条、鳕鱼奶酪条、奶酪小粒、慕斯奶酪杯、新鲜奶酪、儿童成长杯、每日吸奶酪、芝士时光系列奶酪零食等,家庭餐桌系列的马苏里拉奶酪、奶酪片、涂抹奶油奶酪、黄油、煎烤奶酪等,餐饮工业系列的马苏里拉奶酪、奶酪片、稀奶油、厚乳芝士、奶酪酱、原制奶酪等,液态奶产品有巴氏杀菌乳、发酵乳、常温液态乳等。其中,奶酪棒、奶酪片和马苏里拉奶酪为报告期内核心产品。 报告期内公司的主营业务未发生重大变化。 儿童即食营养 成人奶酪休食C端 家庭餐桌系列 蒙牛奶酪C端系列餐饮工业系列 爱氏晨曦B端系列(四) 经营模式 公司自产业务的经营模式主要为特色乳制品的研发、生产和销售。公司采购奶酪、生鲜乳等原料,进行乳制品的生产加工,并通过经销商、自营电商、大型商场超市、餐饮大客户等线上线下渠道对外销售。公司贸易业务的经营模式为向国内外乳制品供应商采购产品,再向国内客户销售。 年度报告摘要 3、 经营情况讨论与分析 2024年,公司紧密关注市场变化情况,把握市场机遇,调整经营策略,部署推动一系列经营举措,实现营业收入484,375.38万元,其中奶酪业务持续向好、同比正增长。公司也同步推进各项降本增效措施,报告期内实现归属于上市公司股东的净利润11,362.07万元,较上年同期大幅增长89.16%。公司经营活动产生的现金流量净额显著改善,达到53,072.72万元,较上年同期大幅增长101.28%。根据凯度消费者指数家庭样组,公司奶酪市场占有率持续稳居行业第一。 (一) 报告期内主营业务运营情况 报告期内公司主营业务分产品情况如下: 单位:万元

2. Main Businesses of the Company during the Reporting Period(I) Development status of the domestic dairy industry According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the national production of dairy products was basically stable at 29,618,000 tonnes from January to December 2024. However, due to the influence of the consumption environment, the dairy products market has experienced a periodic imbalance between supply and demand and sluggish consumer demand. According to the Research Report on Key Issues for the Strategic Development of China’s Dairy Industry published by the Dairy Association of China in 2024, China’s per capita consumption of dairy products in 2023 was only about one-third of the world’s average, of which dry dairy products accounted for only about 22.6 per cent of dairy products, indicating an overall low level of consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to further optimise the production and consumption structure of dairy products in China. In recent years, national policies have also actively supported the optimisation of dairy product structure to meet the needs of residents’ consumption upgrade. The Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2022) issued by the Chinese Nutrition Society in 2022 recommended that each Chinese resident consume 300 to 500 grams of dairy products per day, and listed cheese as one of the daily dietary necessities. The Central Government’s No. 1 document (中央一?文件) of 2024 explicitly proposed to expand the consumption of dairy products and support the optimisation of the dairy product structure to satisfy residents’ needs for consumption upgrading. The Central Government’s No. 1 document (中央一号文件) of 2025 further emphasised “promoting the relief of the beef and dairy cattle industries and stabilising the basic production capacity”, with key tasks including “the implementation of the national standard for sterilised milk” and “support for the integration of dairy farming and processing”. Relevant state ministries and research institutes, as well as central media outlets such as The People’s Daily (人民日报) and Economic Daily (经济 日报), have also published articles promoting the revitalisation and development of the dairy industry. These articles clearly propose the development of the dry dairy industry with Chinese characteristics, so as to make cheese and other dry dairy products a new choice on consumers’ dining tables, thus increasing residents’ dairy product intake. (II) Development status of domestic cheese industry After years of development, China’s liquid milk, yoghurt, milk powder and other industry segments have been more mature, while the cheese industry, benefiting from the upgrading of dairy consumption, industrial advancement, and policy support, is in the early stage of growth, and gradually become one of the main growth points of the dairy industry in the future. Annual Report Summary Although the development of the cheese industry has been affected by the overall consumer environment in the last two years, the trend of upgrading the dairy industry, the parallel consumption trend of “drinking milk” and “eating milk” and the trend of increasing the penetration rate of cheese remain unchanged. In recent years, cheese has been constantly innovated in B-end and C-end applications, and its functional attributes of nutrition and health as well as its emotional appeal have won more and more consumers’ support. The “quasi-demand” attribute of cheese in baking, tea, coffee and other catering scenarios has become more and more obvious. Its popularity on social media continues to climb, driving more people to try cheese and like cheese, forming a virtuous cycle of social communication and consumption growth. Amid the wave of channel innovation, community retail, convenience stores, instant retail, discount stores and membership mode have become the new trend of consumption, and cheese-flavour products are popular in potential channels and platforms, with a number of cheese-flavour products entering the must-buy list. As an A-share listed company with cheese as its core business, the Company continues to lead the market share in the cheese industry based on its core competitiveness in products, brands and channels. Based on Kantar Worldpanel’s household sample group, among the sales of Chinese cheese brands in 2024, the market share of Milkground Cheese exceeds 37%, with its cheese lollipop market share continuing to grow, solidifying its position as the industry leader. In addition, according to Euromonitor statistics, in the brand market share of China’s cheese retail market, Milkground continued to rank first in 2024. Multiple sources of data indicate that the market share of cheese is gradually concentrating towards top enterprises.(3) Principal business and core products The Company is committed to “Cheese for every household!”, and has established a certain leading edge in the industry after rapid development in recent years. The Company’s principal business is the research and development, production and sales of special dairy products with cheese as the core. In particular, the cheese products can be further subdivided into instant nutrition series, family consumption series and catering industry series. Besides, the Company is also engaged in the research and development, production and sales of liquid milk, as well as dairy products trading business. The Company will firmly implement the strategy of “focusing on cheese” and concentrate resources on developing the cheese product segment with more growth prospects. The Company’s products include cheese lollipop, shredded cheese bars for adults, cod cheese bar, cube cheese, Mousse cheese cup, fresh cheese, growing cups for children, daily sucking cheese, cheese time series cheese snacks and others under the instant nutrition series, mozzarella cheese, cheese slices, spreadable cream mini cheese, butter, grilled cheese and others under family consumption series, mozzarella cheese, cheese slices, light cream, thick cream cheese, cheese sauce, original cheese and others under the catering industry series.
