57、irectors of Man Wah Holdings Limited(“Man Wah”or the“Company”),I am pleased to present the audited annual results of the Company and its subsidiaries(the“Group”)for the year ended 31 March 2025(“FY2025”,the“Review Period”or the“Reporting Period”).MAN WAH HOLDINGS LIMITED Annual Report 2024/20258Chai
58、rmans StatementDuring the financial year,the global economic conditions were complex and challenging.During the Review Period,the Group recorded a revenue of HK$16,902,634,000,representing a year-on-year decrease of 8.2%.However,gross profit margin increased from 39.4%to 40.5%which was attributable
59、to effective control of production costs;and the profit attributable to owners of the Company amounted to HK$2,062,617,000,representing a year-on-year decrease of approximately 10.4%.The management further enhanced the effectiveness and efficiency of the operations during the financial year.The decr
60、ease in profits was mainly due to fair value losses on investment properties of HK$71,244,000(Last Corresponding Period:HK$2,509,000),provision for impairment of goodwill of HK$104,310,000(Last Corresponding Period:HK$12,268,000),provision for impairment of property,plant and equipment of HK$96,419,
61、000(Last Corresponding Period:Nil)and provision for impairment of intangible assets of HK$12,795,000(Last Corresponding Period:Nil).Excluding the impact of these,the profit attributable to owners of the Company amounted to HK$2,347,386,000,representing a slight increase of 1.3%year-on-year.During th
62、e Review Period,the Group forged ahead in spite of the difficulties,steadfastly safeguarded its leading position in the recliner segment and actively promoted the steady development of its various businesses.Despite the multiple challenges in the domestic market,the industry was vitalized with the f
63、avorable policies.The implementation of the trade-in subsidy policy by the PRC government has played a positive role in stimulating the consumer demand for new furniture products.At the same time,the Company continued to appoint Wu Jing as the brand spokesman to enhance the brand awareness and affin
64、ity of the“CHEERS”brand,thereby consolidating its position as the preferred brand of recliners.The Group continued to optimize its product mix based on its in-depth research on changes in the domestic consumer demand.On one hand,the Group launched a series of value-for-money products with fashionabl
65、e designs to satisfy the needs of different consumer levels and aesthetic preferences,and continued to update and iterate the“zero wall”technology of recliner sofas;on the other hand,we continuously strengthened the development of sales channels.The Group optimized the customer-end store layout and
66、increase the operational efficiency by deepening the cooperation with distributors.Despite the ongoing pressure of market growth,according to the survey result by a third-party research institute,the Group continued its leading position among the recliner enterprises in the PRC and was once again re
67、cognized as the globally number one seller in terms of annual recliner sales volume for the calendar year of 2024.This is entirely attributable to the excellent product quality,remarkable branding effect and efficient production and operation.MAN WAH HOLDINGS LIMITED Annual Report 2024/20259Chairman
68、s StatementIn terms of the export business,the Group registered excellent results and met growth expectations during the Reporting Period.The steady growth of the global economy created favorable conditions for the export business,while the brand advantages and customer resources accumulated by Man
69、Wah in overseas markets over the years served as a solid growth driver of the business.It also proved that the diverse geographical business model of the Group has successfully diversified market risks and created value for shareholders.Amid the complex global trade environment,Man Wah has set up ne
70、w plants in different countries years ago to effectively mitigate risks in trading and ensure stable operation of the supply chain.Looking ahead,the Group will continue to monitor the global market developments and assess the feasibility of setting up new plants in more countries in a timely manner,
71、so as to further optimize the global production layout and minimize the impact of trade frictions on the business of the Company.Looking ahead to the new financial year,uncertainties will remain although the domestic economy is on an upward trend.The Companys domestic sales will focus on core cities
72、 and key regions.Leveraging the popularity of the brand spokesperson and favorable policies,the Company will further enhance brand awareness and product sales through refined market operations and precision marketing strategies.In respect of product R&D and innovation,it will increase the investment
73、 in the areas of intelligence,green and environmental protection,and continue to launch new products that meet the needs of domestic consumers for a high quality of life.For the export business,we remain cautiously optimistic despite the uncertainties in the global economy and trade.We will continue
74、 to closely monitor the international trade conditions,respond flexibly to potential risks,and curb operating costs by optimizing our global production layout and supply chain management,thereby improving the price competitiveness of products.At the same time,we will put greater efforts in exploring
75、 the European and emerging markets to nurture new business growth points and increase the Groups share and influence in the international market.Always adhering to the principle of quality first,Man Wah is committed to providing comfortable,stylish and safe furniture products to consumers around the
76、 world.The Company will continue to optimize its operation and management,and fully utilize its advantage of operating leverage to boost the operational efficiency and profitability of each business segment.By strengthening R&D and innovation,optimizing production processes,enhancing supply chain ma
77、nagement and strengthening brand building,Man Wah is confident that it will continue to lead the industry and create greater value for shareholders.I would like to express my sincere gratitude to each and every employee of Man Wah for their diligence and dedication,which has developed the Company in
78、to what it is today.Meanwhile,I would like to express heartfelt appreciation for the trust and support of our partners,distributors and consumers.In the future,Man Wah will join hands with all parties to overcome the difficulties and create a better future together.Wong Man LiChairmanMan Wah Holding
79、s LimitedMAN WAH HOLDINGS LIMITED Annual Report 2024/202510Management Discussion and AnalysisMARKET AND BUSINESS REVIEWDuring the FY2025,the global furniture market showed a complex and volatile trend.With the impact of the macroeconomic conditions,consumer confidence in the domestic market was slow
80、 to recover and they were more cautious in purchasing furniture products.Nonetheless,the trade-in subsidy policy launched by the Chinese government introduced a booster into the sluggish furniture market,partly offsetting the downturn in domestic sales.In overseas markets,the global economy graduall
81、y recovered and consumer demand rebounded in some regions,while the gradually emerging scenarios including trade frictions and exchange rate fluctuations posed certain challenges to the export business.In this complex market condition,the Group proactively responded to various challenges and maintai
82、ned the resilience of its business through a range of measures such as strengthening brand building,optimizing the product mix,expanding sales channels and enhancing operational efficiency.Once again,the Group ranked first globally in terms of recliner sales volume in the calendar year of 2024 accor
83、ding to the survey result by a third-party research institute(Source:Euromonitor International(Shanghai)Ltd.,measured in terms of retail sales volume of recliner sofas in the world in 2024;recliner sofa is an armchair of sofa that reclines when the occupant lowers the chairs back and raises its fron
84、t,including both electric and non-electric reclining sofa.Research was completed in April 2025).During the Review Period,the Group recorded a revenue of HK$16,902,634,000,representing a year-on-year decrease of 8.2%.However,gross profit margin for the year increased from 39.4%to 40.5%.The profit att
85、ributable to owners of the Company amounted to HK$2,062,617,000,representing a year-on-year decrease of 10.4%.The decrease was mainly due to fair value losses on investment properties of HK$71,244,000(Last Corresponding Period:HK$2,509,000),provision for impairment of goodwill of HK$104,310,000(Last
86、 Corresponding Period:HK$12,268,000),provision for impairment of property,plant and equipment of HK$96,419,000(Last Corresponding Period:Nil)and provision for impairment of intangible assets of HK$12,795,000(Last Corresponding Period:Nil).Excluding the impact of these,the profit attributable to owne
87、rs of the Company for the FY2025 amounted to HK$2,347,386,000,representing a slight increase of 1.3%year-on-year.1 PRC MarketIn response to the changes in the macro market,the Company actively optimized its sales channels over the past year.During the Review Period,the Company achieved a net additio
88、n of 131 stores,and had a total number of 7,367 stores(excluding Style(格調)and Suning stores),further strengthening the store layout in lower-tier markets and value-for-money series in first and second-tier cities.In terms of brand building,the Company appointed Wu Jing as the brand spokesperson to c
89、apitalize on his extensive social influence and good public image to make the public much more impressed with the“CHEERS”brand.In terms of products,the Company continued to increase its investment in R&D and launched a series of recliner sofa with innovative design,excellent quality and value-for-mo
90、ney features in order to maintain the competitiveness of its products in the market.As it took time for consumer confidence to fully recover in the domestic market,consumers purchasing power and intention to purchase were to a certain extent affected by the macroeconomic environment and employment s
91、ituation.In addition,competition in the furniture market intensified and overcapacity emerged in the sofa industry,which posed pressure on the selling prices of products and added challenges to the entire industry.Despite the severe price competition in the industry,the Group has established a solid
92、 market leadership position with more than 30 years of experience in sofa production processes,excellent quality and cost advantage.During FY2025,the Company recorded a sales revenue of HK$9,927,490,000 from the PRC market(excluding revenue from real estate,shopping mall property and other business)
93、,representing a decrease of approximately 17.2%from the corresponding period of last year,and accounting for 58.7%of the Companys revenue,which declined from 65.0%of last year.MAN WAH HOLDINGS LIMITED Annual Report 2024/202511Management Discussion and Analysis2 Overseas MarketsDuring the Review Peri
94、od,the performance of overseas markets continued to be satisfactory,with an overall export of approximately 884,000 sets of sofa products,representing a year-on-year growth of approximately 13.0%.Among them,the North America market steadily improved.The Group launched a series of products that match
95、 the aesthetics and usage habits of local consumers,which were well received and the orders and shipments continued to increase.During FY2025,it recorded a revenue of HK$4,420,102,000 from the North America market,representing a year-on-year increase of 3.2%,and accounting for 26.2%of the Groups rev
96、enue,which rose from 23.3%of last year.The growth in sales was primarily a result of the Companys brand recognition gained over the years,product innovation and channel expansion in the North America market.At the same time,the Company actively cooperated with local furniture retailers and distribut
97、ors to further expand its market coverage.For Europe and other overseas markets(excluding Home Group),the Group strengthened its strategic layout and marketing promotion and successfully expanded its sales channels,which were the major factors for the rapid growth of business in the region.During th
98、e Review Period,Europe and other overseas markets contributed a revenue of HK$1,468,854,000,representing a year-on-year increase of 22.9%,and accounting for 8.7%of the Groups revenue,which rose from 6.5%of last year.Home Group performed well and recorded a revenue of HK$777,388,000,representing a ye
