中国利郎2022年录得收入30.86亿元人民币 纯利4.48亿元 全年派息每股32港仙

HONG KONG, Mar 17, 2023 - (亚太商讯 via SEAPRWire.com) - 中国利郎有限公司(「中国利郎」或「本公司」,及其附属公司,统称「集团」;股份编号:1234)今天公布其二零二二年全年业绩。中国利郎主席兼执行董事王冬星先生说:「二零二二年,新型冠状病毒疫情反复,封控措施此起彼落,经济发展放缓。同时,疫情下居民外出购物、社交活动减少,消费意欲下降,服装行业首当其冲,全年服装零售销售出现负增长。面对充满挑战的营商环境,集团积极应对市场变化,持续推动新零售业务,推广促销、带动店效。」二零二二年,集团收入同比下降8.7%至人民币30.86亿元。净利润按年下跌4.3%至人民币4.48亿元,主要由于年内疫情重创线下零售业务,部份门店因应防控措施暂停营业,加上集团为支持分销商而提供返利,以致整体收入有所下跌。毛利率为46.0%,同比增加4.1个百分点,主要由于二零二一年计提存货拨备人民币1.2亿元,而年内存货拨备回拨2,226万元所致。每股盈利为人民币37.42分,按年减少4.3%。集团于年内保持财政稳健,现金流充足。董事会建议派发末期股息每股9港仙及特别末期股息每股5港仙,连同已派发的中期股息,全年每股派息合共32港仙,维持稳定的派息比率。集团于年内积极发展微商城业务,既利用社交平台互动特点,又发挥在线线下互补的优势,带动店效增长。集团逐步将在线销售从以往清理过季库存的渠道,转型成宣扬品牌形象为主的平台,并透过产品促销、直播带货等活动,推动销售。于6.18电商购物节,集团在电商平台推出裤类爆款产品,在双11电商节前,则率先在网上推出极致单品拒水羽绒。纵使受市场不景气影响零售额轻微减少0.4%,但毛利因新产品较高销售单价及增加新品销售比例而大幅提升,新零售业务开始录得纯利。然而,实体店铺销售备受疫情影响,集团果断关闭若干经营效益未如理想的店铺,并且放缓开店计划,以致未能达到全年门店总数与年初数目持平的目标。截至去年底,集团有2,644家店铺,较二零二一年底少89家。集团进一步优化全国销售网络,促成约50家门店搬迁往一、二线城市优越位置,以提升店效及店铺空间的利用。目前已有近四成主系列店铺以代销模式经营。年内,集团继续透过与分销商的长期合作,巩固和开拓全国性的销售网络,为中国消费者服务,同时务实地推动分销商优化零售网络,优越的店铺位置增加门店,并推动实体店、增加利用微信平台,以实现更高的店铺效益。另一方面,轻商务和网店于二零二零年和二零二一年先后转为自营,于二零二二年十二月底,轻商务自营店铺共251家,其他店铺分别由一级分销商或二级分销商经营。库存管理方面,尽管疫情反复,销售偏软,惟集团清理库存工作已见成效,而且在新物流园9月投入运作后,库存控制及物流配送的效益再获提升,年内库存余额与去年相若。品牌推广方面,集团走在服装业前沿,创作虚拟...
