Garment maker Texwinca's H1 profit drops despite higher shipments as costs rise

Overview

• Hong Kong-listed textile and garment maker's half-year revenue rose 5.1% yr/yr

• Profit attributable to shareholders fell 51.8% due to margin compression and higher costs

• Company cut interim dividend to HK3.0 cents per share from HK4.0 cents a year earlier

Outlook

• Texwinca Holdings did not provide specific financial guidance for future periods in its press release

Result Drivers

• MARGIN COMPRESSION - Co said profit margin was squeezed by persistent macroeconomic uncertainties, elevated oil prices, and rising raw material, energy, and labour costs

• VOLUME GROWTH OFFSET BY COSTS - Higher shipment volumes and expanded client base drove revenue growth, but increased costs outweighed these gains

• RETAIL IMPROVEMENT - Improved operational performance in retail and distribution partially offset higher costs
