On or around November 19, 2020, Yatsen conducted its initial public offering of 58.75 million American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) priced at $10.50 per ADS. On August 26, 2021, during an earnings call, Yatsen acknowledged that the Company’s Perfect Diary brand business had been deteriorating, requiring Yatsen to “refocus and to devote more resources to continue the growth trend of [its] main brands.” 

On this news, Yatsen’s ADS price fell $1.03 per share, or 17.64%, to close at $4.81 per share on August 26, 2021. 

Then, on November 17, 2021, Yatsen reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2021. Among other items, Yatsen acknowledged witnessing a “soft industry environment for color cosmetics.” During the related earnings call, the Company stated that “significant deceleration in general consumer and color cosmetics spending in China” was an “industry trend,” partially related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Yatsen further acknowledged that gross sales from the Company’s color cosmetics brands decreased by mid-single digits, due in part to “realignment” of the Company’s Little Ondine brand. 

On this news, Yatsen’s ADS price fell $0.59 per ADS, or 17.93%, to close at $2.70 per ADS on November 17, 2021. 

Finally, on March 10, 2021, Yatsen reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2021, acknowledging that its disappointing results were due to a deceleration of sales of its leading brands, including Perfect Diary, Little Ondine, and Pink Bear. 

On this news, Yatsen’s ADS price fell $0.49 per ADS, or 39.5%, to close at $0.75 per ADS on March 10, 2022.
