Singapore, 01 March 2022 - Singapore Exchange Main Board-listedCombine Will International Holdings Limited ("Combine Will" or "the Group"), a leading Original Design Manufacturer ("ODM")/Original Equipment Manufacturer ("OEM") of corporate premiums, toys and consumer products in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), Hong Kong and Indonesia delivered a 32.0% improvement in group net profit of HK$40.8 million on a 19.2% increase in revenue of HK$1.1 billion for the financial year ended December 31, 2021 ("FY2021").

The 19.2% gain in Group turnover for the year under review was mainly due to strong continuous orders from its core customers as a result of its ability to deliver on schedule. This gave the Group improved economies of scale, which translated to a 19.8% increase in gross profit (or HK$15.7 million), with a 8.3% gross profit margin.

"This favourable performance amidst challenging operating conditions attests to Combine Will's resilience and preparedness, the result of years of strategic and sometimes difficult decisions in re-engineering, relocation, organizational restructuring and investments in automation and new technologies.

Our next major initiative is sustainable manufacturing with green raw materials, making Combine Will one of the first manufacturers to go green.

As we continue on our strategic road map, we are confident that the Group is well-positioned to continue delivering value-added returns to shareholders and stakeholders," said Mr. Simon Chiu, Chief Executive Officer & Executive Director of Combine Will.

Subject to shareholders' approval at the coming AGM, Combine Will has declared a final tax-exempt dividend of 5 Singapore cents per ordinary share.

In line with its core customers' goals to roll out sustainable toys and packaging in the next few years, the Group has started and committed to using 13% sustainable raw materials in its production of toys and consumer premiums last year, with a target of increasing to 25% in 2022. The sustainable "green" raw materials it had started using include green polyethylene ("green PE") and paper materials certified by Forest Stewardship Council ("FSC paper").

The Group will continue to invest in automation and new technologies for greater cost efficiencies and quality improvement with emphasis on its sustainability initiatives. It will focus on in-house physical lab testing, product quality, audit and control as well as communication enhancements.

In addition, the Group will continue to invest and develop its paper product capability and capacity in Heyuan and Indonesia, with printing operation scheduled in the latter location in Q4 2022.

On the human capital front, it continues to finetune its organisational structure to further improve productivity and enhance operational effectiveness. Various training and development initiatives as well as HR management systems are being implemented to incentivise and increase retention.

Going forward, barring unforeseen circumstances, Combine Will expects to continue to deliver value- added returns to shareholders and stakeholders.
