MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Review of Operations
Impressive Results
We are pleased to announce that TTI delivered exceptional results for the first half of 2020. We grew sales 12.8% to US$4.2 billion in reported currency or 14.0% in local currency. Our gross margin improved an additional 40 basis points to 38.0%. EBIT grew 15.6% to US$363 million. Net profit and earnings per share increased 16.3% and 16.2% respectively, to US$332 million and approximately US18.14 cents per share. In addition, we improved working capital percent of sales from 18.4% to 15.8%.
When the coronavirus emerged, we immediately implemented world class safety protocols throughout all manufacturing operations, distribution centers, R&D centers, headquarter offices, and sales force networks. By complying carefully with local authorities around the world, we were able to quickly resume full scale production and supply chain capabilities. We identified an opportunity to support our customers and capture market share early in the second quarter, so we made the bold decision to increase production, accelerate new product development and expand sales coverage globally. Due to our efficient execution of coronavirus safety protocols and our aggressive initiatives, we were not only able to support our customers' requirements for inventory and store level sales support, but we also outgrew the market and captured significant market share.
We are pleased to report that all our geographic regions delivered impressive local currency sales growth in the first half, in the face of challenging coronavirus headwinds. North America delivered outstanding growth of 14.5%. Europe grew 8.2%, despite being hard hit by the coronavirus. Rest-of-World, including Australia, New Zealand and Asia delivered exciting overall sales growth of 21.0%.
We worked closely with our retail partners to develop and fortify the e-commerce channel. We were highly successful not only in e-commerce but "Buy Online Pickup In Store". Clearly, e-commerce is a growing and crucial part of our future and we are now well positioned to further capitalize on this element of our business model in the second half and beyond.
TTI continued to successfully deploy our long-term strategic initiatives in the first half. We launched a wave of exciting new products, accelerated future product development, expanded our global sales network, improved manufacturing productivity and strengthened our supply chain. Throughout the past months, our management team rapidly pivoted to an environment of virtual management and training. Additionally, we hired hundreds of new college graduates, both in engineering and sales and marketing positions to fuel additional growth. The result of these investments was that we not only delivered a strong first half, but importantly, we have positioned our company for long-term success in our served markets.

In the first half, we successfully introduced our revolutionary MX FUEL Equipment System, a series of new M18 and M12 cordless products, an expanded line of PACKOUT, a new line of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) safety products, and a series of high-performance power tool accessories. These new product introductions enabled us to offset global headwinds and perpetuate the growth momentum in this flagship business.
The launch of the MILWAUKEE MX FUEL Equipment System allows us to enter the multi-billion dollar light equipment segment. With disruptive cordless breakthrough technology that replaces traditional gas and corded power sources, the MX FUEL Equipment range has been well received by industrial users all over the world.

Now with 22 unique products, PACKOUT is the largest professional storage system in the world.

Floor Care and Appliances

The global Floor Care business grew 13.6% in local currency for the first half of 2020 with sales of over US$458 million. North America, UK, and Australia all delivered a strong performance. This growth was driven by the rollout of the ONEPWR cordless system and by the introduction of a series of new carpet cleaning products. We enter the second half of 2020 with strong momentum in global floor care.
OUTLOOK
We are well positioned to deliver a strong second half, and importantly a strong future. Our expanding global manufacturing network continues to deliver consistent, outstanding productivity gains and we are working hard to offset and minimize the impact of challenging headwinds.
Our bold decision to increase investments in expanding manufacturing capacity, inventory, new product development, sales coverage and geographic expansion led to significant market share gains in the first half. We continue to focus on things we can control, such as rigorously managing non-strategic SG&A spend. New product development is a core strength of TTI, and our new product flow continues to accelerate. We continue to aggressively invest in this high-speed, world class process so that we can bring to market a stream of high margin new products with cutting edge technology. In summary, we are well positioned to deliver a strong second half and excellent financial performance in the years ahead.

Result Analysis

The Group will continue to focus on managing the inventory level and improve inventory turns.
Trade receivables turnover days were at 65 days as compared to 63 days as at June 30, 2019. Excluding the gross up of the receivables factored which is without recourse in nature, receivables turnover days was at 62 days as compared to 61 days as at June 30, 2019.

-
Significant accounting policies
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value.
Other than changes in accounting policies resulting from application of amendment on Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard ("HKFRS"), the accounting policies and method of computation used in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six-month ended June 30, 2020 are the same as those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Application of amendments to HKFRSs
In the current interim period, the Group has applied, the Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in HKFRS Standards and the following amendments to HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA, for the first time, which are mandatorily effective for the annual period beginning on or after January 1, 2020 for the preparation of the Group's condensed consolidated financial statements:

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
2.1 Impacts and accounting policies on application of Amendments to HKFRS 9, HKAS 39 and HKFRS 7 "Interest Rate Benchmark Reform"
2.1.1 Accounting policies
Hedge accounting
For the purpose of determining whether a forecast transaction (or a component thereof) in a cash flow hedge is highly probable, the Group assumes that the interest rate benchmark on which the hedged cash flows (contractually or non-contractually specified) are based is not altered as a result of interest rate benchmark reform.
Assessment of hedging relationship and effectiveness
In assessing the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, the Group assumes that the interest rate benchmark on which the hedged cash flows and/or the hedged risk (contractually or non-contractually specified) are based, or the interest rate benchmark on which the cash flows of the hedging instrument are based, is not altered as a result of interest rate benchmark reform.
Cash flow hedges

16. Fair value measurements of financial instruments
Fair value of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities are measured on a recurring basis.
Some of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The following table gives information about how the fair values of these financial assets and financial liabilities are determined (in particular, the valuation technique(s) and inputs used), as well as the level of the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurements are categorized (Levels 1 to 3) based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements is observable.
- Level 1: fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
- Level 2: fair value measurements are those derived from inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
- Level 3: fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
