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

  • Cybex brand's continued strong global revenue growth was primarily driven from its international brand recognition and performance and strengthening of its supply chain. The revenue growth was generated from increased sales in both car seats and wheeled goods in both the Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") region and key regional markets outside EMEA. This continued growth was accomplished while managing the continuously challenging political, economic and retail environments.
  • gb brand continued its drive toward stabilization and establishing a solid revenue momentum in the key China market. In China market, gb achieved a revenue growth of 4.3% on a constant currency basis in the Period; highlighted by the return to growth in the durables segment when compared to the corresponding period in 2018. The growth in the Period for durables in China market is attributable to the successful new product introductions (primarily wheeled goods) which generated double digit growth in the three months ended 30 September 2019. Non-durables, particularly home textiles and apparel, continued to realize solid revenue growth. In the rapidly changing China market environment, gb continued to execute strong results in all of its owned channels.
  • Evenflo brand achieved growth in the Period, in the midst of a continually challenging political and retail environment. With a growing recognition for commitment to product innovation, Evenflo continues to build growth momentum as it prepares to launch additional new products related to awards of business from major national retailers and develops new channels of distribution.

During the Period, the Group's revenue from other business including the Group's tactical brands, retailer's private label business and Blue Chip business was approximately HK$1,196.0 million as compared to approximately HK$1,423.6 million in the corresponding period of 2018. This approximate 16.0% decrease (approximate -13.5% decrease on a constant currency basis) was closely tied to the reduced focus on the Group's tactical brands and private label business, offset by a strong recovery of revenue from our Blue Chip business in the three months ended 30 September 2019 versus its revenue decline in the first half of 2019.
