Yeebo (International Holdings) Limited ("Yeebo" or the "Company", stock code: 259, which together with its subsidiaries, is referred to as the "Group") announces its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2022 (the "Period"). Revenue for the Period increased by 19% year on year to approximately HK$735 million from HK$619 million for the same period of last year. Gross profit increased to approximately HK$122 million from HK$99 million. The strict control of the material costs, agile inventory management and improved labour efficiency contributed to an increase in gross profit. Gross profit margin improved to approximately 17% in the Period from the 16% for the same period of last year. Profit attributable to owners of the Company surged by 145% from approximately HK$122 million to HK$298 million. Basic earnings per share were HK30.6 cents. The Board of Directors has resolved not to recommend the payment of an interim dividend for the six months ended 30 September 2022. However, the Board has resolved to declare a special dividend of HK20 cents per ordinary share of the Company for the year ending 31 March 2023. The Company repurchased 8,479,171 shares on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited from 29 June to 30 September 2022, with a total consideration of approximately HK$26 million. The Board believes that the share price has failed to reflect the value of the Company, and the share buyback can both i) return capital to investors, and ii) enhance the shareholders' value. Commenting on the interim results of the Group,
Mr. Fang Yan Tak, Douglas, Chairman of Yeebo, said, "The Group strategically focused on the higher value, wholly customized product segments, which in turn delivered robust growth. Capitalizing on our strong product development capability and extensive experience in display panel manufacturing, we are well positioned for the continued product diversification. We aspire to be one-stop solution provider on a broad portfolio of monochromic and color displays and modules over a wide range of applications. While we continue to service over 300 active customers across different industries, we are equally as driven in identifying emerging opportunities in the new and fast-growing sectors." Although the overall demand for electronic components has been volatile, the Group registered impressive growth in both sales and earnings in the Period. Sales of LCD modules ("LCM") increased by 31% year on year to HK$516 million on the back of the strong demand from such industries as telecommunications, industrial control devices, medical and health care products and smart home appliances. The ongoing migration from pure LCD panels to LCM continued throughout the Period. Sales of the LCD decreased modestly by 14% year on year to HK$108 million in the Period. Sales of LCM - other related products such as capacitive touch panel ("CTP") and TFT-CTP modules grew by 11% year on year. The growth was attributable to the Group's successful marketing campaigns targeted at the industries of telecommunications, smart home and smart office appliances.
For Nantong Jianghai Capacitor Company Ltd ("Nantong Jianghai"), it continued to deliver remarkable results for the Period amid a challenging business environment. Revenue increased to RMB2,276 million for the Period from RMB1,835 million for the same period of last year, representing a growth of 24%. Nantong Jianghai was able to further consolidate its market leading position of capacitors and energy storage. Robust growth was recorded across all of its major product categories: aluminium electrolytic capacitors, film capacitors, and supercapacitors. Strong demand from renewable energy, electric vehicle, and other industrial related markets have underpinned the company's growth, and has been key in driving Nantong Jianghai's increasing exposure to the higher-end markets. Nantong Jianghai's capacity expansion progress was well on track. During the Period, the Group divested a total of 10,463,000...
