Wang Yeju's questions to Super Hi International Holding Ltd (HDL) leadership • Q4 2024
Question
Wang Yeju from Citic Securities inquired about the overall store layout and expansion plans for North America, particularly whether the pace would accelerate following the U.S. listing. A second question touched on short-term planning, which was interpreted as a query about incentive schemes.
Answer
An unnamed executive described North America as a market with great potential and diversity, confirming that at least five new hot pot restaurants are in the promotional stage. However, they noted that expansion will remain cautious due to longer payback periods and higher CapEx requirements in the region. Regarding incentive schemes, the executive mentioned that they are being reviewed to align with the 'red Pomegranate' strategy, but specific details are not yet available for disclosure.
