Affected by this, the turnover of the core brand is also only low year-on-year growth in the number of units, while net profit will decline significantly.

< p > even BELLE, the industry leader, can not escape the slowdown of the industry. Its recent domestic operation data show that footwear growth in the two quarter is only 0.5%, while sports a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > dress < /a > business growth is 2.5%, while in the first quarter, BELLE's footwear business grew 4.5% in the same store, and sportswear reached 11%.

What is even more worrying is that Daphne has slightly increased its discount rate in the two quarter to stimulate sales growth, coupled with greater efforts to clean up the over season stocks, but sales growth is still lower than expected, which has led to a decline in gross margin and a possible increase in the number of days of inventory turnover in the same period of P.
