Aug. 21 — At its 2026 H1 results briefing Guizhou Moutai said channel reform has
produced a functional self-operated + third‑party, online + offline distribution
ecosystem. Self‑owned channels including iMoutai and company stores increasingly
reach end consumers and act as market stabilizers. Since April the firm has
piloted a consignment (agent‑sale) model for products other than Feitian 53% vol
500ml Guizhou Moutai; the pilot has run stably. Because consignment does not
transfer ownership, and given stronger end‑consumer reach via self‑owned
channels and healthy inventories in social channels, advance receipts fell YoY.
With deeper market reforms the company said advance receipts’ level is no longer
the main indicator of its supply‑demand balance.
