CYBEX sets new record for first-half revenue and profit; brand profitability and resilience continue to improve
Despite facing challenges such as negative consumer sentiment, weak European economy, declining birthrates and worsening geopolitical conflicts, CYBEX achieved positive performance across all categories, channels, and markets thanks to its strong brand resilience and market influence, celebrating the brand's 20th anniversary. Backed by strong market demand for its products, CYBEX recorded revenue growth of 13.6% to approximately HK$2,452.4 million (1H 2024: HK$2,158.2 million), continuing to grow its market share globally. The brand also continued to improve its profitability. In addition, CYBEX made solid progress in the strategic North American market, forging ahead with strong momentum despite tariffs and corresponding price increases. CYBEX's outstanding performance was the result of its strong and continuously enhanced brand position, innovative and improved product portfolio, supported by strong operational infrastructure and supply chain and further expansion and fortification of global omni-channel distribution network with industry leading self-owned wholesale, e-commerce and own offline flagship store infrastructure. During the Period, CYBEX's new flagship store located in central Paris continued to enhance its leadership in "Strategic Key Cities" and reinforce its global leading position as the premium "technical-lifestyle" brand.
Evenflo launches record number of new products and achieves robust growth in its stroller segment and D2C channel
In the first half of the year, Evenflo recorded revenue of approximately HK$1,075.3 million. It launched the highest number of new products in the brand's history, which resulted in robust growth in the stroller segment; in addition, it recorded strong momentum in the D2C channel due to its successful digital strategy. However, factors such as higher input cost caused by US's new tariff policies, increased cost in car seat products to comply with new regulatory standards, increase in corresponding costs for new products display in retailers' stores, heavier promotions and marketing expenses incurred for old product models challenged the brand's profitability during the period. Evenflo will focus on recovering sales growth and profitability in the second half of the year, optimize costs, adjust its pricing strategy, and continue to strategically invest in brand, products, digital strategy and talents to further consolidate its business foundation.
gb achieves solid uplift in gross margin and significantly narrows operating loss through further optimization of product portfolio and channel mix
Under the leadership of its new management team, the gb brand significantly narrowed its operating loss to approximately HK$394.8 million during the Period. The gb brand streamlined its online and offline wholesale channels in the brand's shift from B2B model to D2C model. In addition, it effectively eliminated price chaos across channels and stabilized prices by optimizing the channel mix to strengthen self-control on channels, resulting in a solid uplift in gross margin. The gb brand also recorded positive growth in self-owned offline retail channels and continued adjustments in its online retail channels. For example, there was strong growth in Douyin livestreaming channel, and some of its key durable SKUs ranked at the top in respective categories. gb will focus on product development and upgrades, refined operations in self-owned retail channels in both online and offline, and continued price control, along with continuous brand transformation.
During the Period, the Blue Chip and other business recorded a decline in revenue to approximately HK$378.4 million. The Group's relationship with its Blue Chip customers remained healthy and stable. The Group will continue to receive customer orders and has successfully developed new customers. It continues to deliver services that meet the demands of both existing and new customers.
Outlook
Looking ahead, geopolitical conflicts and tariff uncertainties will remain key challenges for the Group to address. Nevertheless, the Group will continue to focus on the vertically integrated one-dragon, brand-driven development strategy through sustained strategic investments to consolidate its global competitiveness, expand and deepen its brand building, omni-channel distribution network and infrastructure, and global footprint.

We are also delighted that CYBEX achieved another record first half revenue and profit as it celebrates its 20th anniversary.
