This announcement is made by Goodbaby International Holdings Limited (the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") pursuant to Rule 13.09(2) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

On a constant currency basis1, the Group's revenue for the Period recorded a 19.5% increase as compared with the corresponding period of 2020.

Overview

Notwithstanding the lingering impacts from the coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19") during the Period and also the initial impacts of COVID-19 during the corresponding period of 2020, each of the Group's core Strategic brands of CYBEX, gb and Evenflo recorded very positive revenue growth during the Period.

During the Period, the Group's core Strategic brands performed as follows:

  • CYBEX brand continued its strong revenue growth momentum during the Period, with a growth rate of 38.7% (27.4% on a constant currency basis) compared to the corresponding period of 2020. CYBEX's strong revenue growth across all key global markets was driven by its strong brand position and product portfolio (in both car seats and particularly wheeled goods), fortified global operations and the continuous launch of new products and categories. CYBEX continued to gain market share in all key geographic regions during the Period.
  • gb brand revenue performance during the Period achieved positive results with a growth rate of 20.4% (10.7% on a constant currency basis) from the corresponding period of 2020. In its key China market, gb brand recorded a growth rate of 30.2% (19.4% on a constant currency basis). This achievement was primarily driven by revenue growth realized from the recovery of offline retail traffic and sales. During the corresponding period in 2020, our retail stores were temporarily closed in late January and then gradually reopened in March. gb continues to modernize and enhance its overall brand image and invest resources toward product development and innovation in both durable and non-durable products.
  • Evenflo brand revenue performance recovered and achieved 5.9% growth (4.0% on a constant currency basis) during the Period from the corresponding period of 2020. This positive performance trend was primarily driven by continued positive consumer reaction to new product launches and to the overall improvement of the macro environment with a stabilizing political situation and positive consumer behaviors due to the stimulus relief efforts.

During the Period, our Blue Chip business revenue was approximately HK$265.5 million as compared to approximately HK$157.7 million in the corresponding period of 2020, recording an impressive revenue growth of 68.4% (61.6% on a constant currency basis). The positive revenue growth was driven by increasing orders from our customers and also impacted by lower shipments in the corresponding period in 2020 due to the effects of COVID-19. Our Blue Chip business remains stable.

During the Period, the Group's revenue from other business, including the Group's tactical brands and retailer's private label business, was approximately HK$96.4 million as compared to approximately HK$75.8 million in the corresponding period of 2020. The 27.2% increase (20.2% on a constant currency basis) in revenue from the corresponding period of 2020 was mainly driven by the recovery of business from the COVID-19 impacts and positive results of portfolio optimization.

With the gradual distribution of vaccines to combat COVID-19 and the preliminary signs of stabilization in both economic and political environments in our key markets, we are encouraged by our Group's momentum. We remain confident in the focused strategy of our core Strategic brands of CYBEX, gb and Evenflo and the development of our Blue Chip business. Nevertheless, as the global economy recovers, we remain diligent to the ongoing headwinds in global supply and logistics chains and continue to implement proactive measures to minimize any remaining and unexpected impacts from COVID-19.
