RLX Technology reported Q3 2024 net revenue of $104 million, a 20.6% quarter-over-quarter increase, and net profit of $35.62 million. The company attributed the growth primarily to its international expansion.

On November 15th, RELX Technology (RLX Technology Inc.) (NYSE: RLX) released its unaudited financial report for the third quarter of 2024.

 

According to the financial report, the net revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $104.12 million, marking a 20.6% increase quarter-over-quarter and a 51.6% increase year-over-year.  

 

Under non-US GAAP, the adjusted net profit for the third quarter was $35.62 million, up 22.9% from the previous quarter and 30.0% year-over-year.  

 

The financial highlights for the third quarter of 2024 are as follows:  

 

  • Net Revenue: $104.12 million, a 20.6% increase quarter-over-quarter and a 51.6% increase year-over-year, driven primarily by the company's international expansion.  
  • Gross Profit: $28.77 million.  
  • Adjusted Net Profit: $35.62 million under non-US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.  
  • Cash and Investments: As of September 30, 2024, RLX Technology held $2.10 billion in total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term bank deposits, short-term investments, long-term bank deposits, and long-term investment securities.  

 

RELX Technology founder, chairman, and CEO Wang Ying said: "The company delivered strong performance once again in the third quarter, showcasing its ability to thrive amid rapidly evolving market trends and regulatory changes."  

 

"Our efficient and adaptable localization strategy has positioned us as market leaders in several countries. By working closely with local distributors and retailers, we have achieved a high level of product-market alignment."  

 

"Built on a foundation of high-quality and reliable pod products, we now offer a broader portfolio, including a diverse range of disposable and open-system products. These innovations have earned the trust of adult smokers worldwide."  

 

"As a trusted e-cigarette brand for adult smokers, we remain dedicated to developing innovative, high-quality products that align with market trends and comply with regulatory standards. Our goal is to meet the needs of global users while driving sustainable long-term growth for the company. "

"Thanks to changes in our revenue structure and cost optimization measures, our gross profit margin improved by 3.2 percentage points compared to the same period last year, reaching 27.2%."

 

"Despite rapid revenue growth, we have maintained stable operating expenses under US GAAP, demonstrating strong operational leverage."

China Tobacco Supply-Chain Leader Huabao’s Three-Way Transformation Takes Hold as Overseas Revenue Jumps 216%, Non-Flavor Businesses Reach 42.2% and the Company Expands Into Global Next-Generation Tobacco Supply Chains
China Tobacco Supply-Chain Leader Huabao’s Three-Way Transformation Takes Hold as Overseas Revenue Jumps 216%, Non-Flavor Businesses Reach 42.2% and the Company Expands Into Global Next-Generation Tobacco Supply Chains
Huabao’s H1 2026 results show the company advancing across three connected fronts: international expansion, entry into next-generation tobacco supply chains and diversification beyond its traditional tobacco-related base. Overseas revenue rose 216.08% to CNY 96.02 million, while non-flavor businesses reached 42.2% of total revenue. Huabao also said it had entered the supply chains of leading global tobacco customers, as its nutrition, food ingredient, fragrance and personal-care businesses gained ground in Europe, Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand. However, adjusted net profit increased only 2.78%, and next-generation tobacco revenue was not separately disclosed, showing that the transformation is reshaping revenue and customer exposure but has yet to translate fully into underlying earnings.

Smoke-Free Business Hits 42% of Q2 Net Revenue as PMI’s First TNFD Report Covers Single-Use Electronics, Critical Raw Materials and IQOS Repairs
Philip Morris International has published its first report aligned with the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures, bringing its electronics supply chain and the use and end-of-life stages of smoke-free devices and consumables into its nature-related assessment. PMI said its smoke-free business accounted for about 42% of total net revenues in the second quarter of 2026. The report says non-circular electronic products, particularly single-use items, can increase consumption of limited natural resources and also details an IQOS repair pilot. A 2040 circularity scenario tests assumptions including a 50% reduction in product waste-related costs, 10% raw-material savings and a 25% substitution rate for refurbished products versus new products.

JTI Proposes 25-Cent Irish Cigarette Tax Increase, Says It Could Raise €45 Million
JTI Proposes 25-Cent Irish Cigarette Tax Increase, Says It Could Raise €45 Million
Japan Tobacco International's Irish business has proposed a €0.25 tax increase on a pack of 20 cigarettes in its pre-Budget 2027 submission, below the €0.50-or-more increases typically imposed in recent Irish budgets. JTI says the proposal could generate around €45 million in additional Exchequer revenue while limiting further movement toward illicit and non-Irish-tax-paid tobacco. Revenue's existing estimate for a comparable €0.25 increase, including pro-rata rises on other tobacco products, is about €18 million for a full year.

Canada Health Minister Says She Is Not Considering Looser Nicotine Pouch Retail Rules as PMI-Linked Group Pushes for Wider Access
Canadian Health Minister Marjorie Michel says she is not considering loosening retail restrictions on nicotine pouches. Canada regulates pouches containing 4 mg or less of nicotine per unit as non-prescription nicotine replacement therapy and requires newer NRT formats such as pouches to be sold from behind pharmacy counters. Meanwhile, Unsmoke Canada, linked to Philip Morris International's Canadian business, is pushing to allow pouches in convenience stores and other general retail outlets. Health Canada also acknowledges continued unauthorized sales, while recent research shows rising pouch use among Canadian youth aged 16 to 19.
