StarGlory Holdings Company Limited Annual Report 2021-2022 3
Chairman's Statement
Dear shareholders,
On behalf of the board of directors (the "Board") of StarGlory Holdings Company Limited (the "Company"), I am pleased to present the audited annual results of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group" or "StarGlory") for the year ended 31 March 2022 (the "Reporting Period").
The global economy remained affected by the Novel Coronavirus ("COVID-19" or "the pandemic") over the last financial year, despite the fact that increased vaccination rates and government fiscal stimulus boosted economic activities globally. Highly transmissible COVID-19 variants such as Omicron swept the world, especially toward the end of 2021, creating a major barrier to a full economic recovery and a rebound in consumer sentiment. Meanwhile, a "new normal" mode of living has emerged, characterized by working from home, an upsurge in e-commerce activities, and increased use of online food-ordering platforms.
The mass-market food and beverage sector in Hong Kong and mainland China was negatively impacted by a resurgence of the pandemic during the Reporting Period. In Hong Kong, the industry began to regain momentum as the local pandemic situation stabilized following the first quarter of the Reporting Period amid timely stimulus measures delivered by the government. Business sentiment in the food and beverage sector improved and employers' conduciveness to hiring also showed signs of recovery. During the fourth quarter of 2021, when Hong Kong was hit by the fifth wave of the pandemic, the food and beverage industry was upended by more restrictive social distancing measures, shorter operating hours, and temporary restaurant closures. These abrupt shifts in the operating environment left many restaurant operators scrambling to serve customers effectively using online channels.
The Group is committed to offering customers a diverse range of cuisines and dedicated dining experiences, and continued to optimize its multi-brand network in mainland China and Hong Kong, including Italian Tomato and Ginza Bairin ("銀座梅林") during the Reporting Period. To accelerate our business development and enhance our competitive edge, we strategically adjusted our operations in Hong Kong with launches of new promotions and offers, and collaborated with various third-partyfood-ordering platforms and other business partners to drive additional local spending amid the introduction of the government's Consumption Voucher Scheme. In addition to offering our customers comforting, safe and pleasant dining experiences, we also captured growing demand from them for takeaway and online food ordering by expanding our takeaway and food delivery services, with the aim of fostering our online-to-offline business while capturing increased market share and protecting profitability during challenging times.
Italian Tomato, the Group's main restaurant, café and cake shop brand, achieved a satisfactory performance, thanks to the Group's swift response to changes in the market environment. During the Reporting Period, the Group adhered to pragmatic strategies, designing and rolling out seasonal and festive products with special offers, and redoubling its marketing, promotion and events efforts. Thanks to these efforts, we are proud that Italian Tomato has become one of the best recognized cake shop brands in Hong Kong, enabling the Group to build business resilience as the brand remains the key contributor to its revenue. In light of these promising results and significant market potential, the Group will seek fresh opportunities to strategically expand its cake shop business.
