In PNJ’s revenue structure, the retail jewelry segment saw a more than 15% increase in revenue compared to the same period last year, while the gold bar segment increased by 53%. In contrast, revenue from other business activities decreased by 45%.

Despite the significant increase in revenue from the gold bar segment, the low gross profit margin caused PNJ’s average gross profit margin for the first eight months to decrease from 18.6% (8 months in 2023) to 16.6% (8 months in 2024).

PNJ shared that in August, the company opened 24 new stores and closed 10. As of August 31, 2024, PNJ owns a total of 414 physical stores nationwide, including 405 PNJ stores, 5 Style by PNJ stores, 3 CAO Fine Jewellery stores, and 1 wholesale business center.
