Heilan Home Group Co., Ltd. (HLA), headquartered in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, China, stands as the country's largest apparel retail group and the leading men's clothing brand. Listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (stock code: 600398.SH), the company operates a vertically integrated business model encompassing brand development, product design, supply chain management, and retail operations. With its flagship brand "HLA" and multiple sub-brands including OVV, Black Whale, and YeeHoO, the group has successfully evolved from the "Men's Wardrobe" into a comprehensive "Family Wardrobe" covering men's, women's, children's, and sports apparel. The company is preparing for a dual listing ("A+H") with Hong Kong as a potential future market.
Financial Performance and Retail Network
For the first three quarters of fiscal year 2025, Heilan Home reported revenue of
15.599 billion RMB, representing a
2.23% year-over-year increase. The main HLA brand contributed
10.849 billion RMB, while online channels generated
3.093 billion RMB and the B2B/custom business reached
1.882 billion RMB with a robust
28.75% growth rate. As of September 2025, the group operated
7,241 stores nationwide, including
2,220 direct-operated stores (
30.66% of total), spanning all
31 Chinese provinces and over
80% of counties. This extensive retail network, combined with the company's industry-leading
5% market share in men's apparel for
11 consecutive years, positions HLA as the largest apparel company by market capitalization on China's A-share market.
Brand Portfolio and Strategic Positioning
The group's multi-brand strategy enables it to capture diverse consumer segments across the apparel market. While men's clothing remains the core business, Heilan Home has strategically expanded into custom and corporate apparel through its "HLA Group Purchase" division, partnered with international brands like
Adidas FCC and
HEAD for sports apparel, and developed premium offerings through brands like
YeeHoO for children's wear and
OVV for women's fashion. The company operates the "Heilan Cloud Clothing Laboratory" for fabric R&D and smart manufacturing, investing
157 million RMB in R&D during Q3 2025 alone. Internationally, the group has expanded into Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Philippines, Maldives, and Kenya, opening its first Australian store in Sydney in the second half of 2025.
