Chow Tai Fook’s revenue rocketed 24 percent to US$$9.04 billion in fiscal 2020, the highest annual profit since 2014, and out-performed the forecast of HK$5.23 billion profit by Refinitiv StarMine SmartEstimate.
The performance was mainly driven by wholesale business, gold jewellery and products, and watches in the retail business. With the borders of Hong Kong and Macau have remained closed, same-store sales of the regions slumped 41.3 percent. Meanwhile, in Mainland China, same-store sales reported a 31.9 percent up. “As we are optimistic about the mid to long-term growth in the mainland China market, we will focus on our mainland China’s business development in the coming future,” chairman Henry Cheng said in a statement.
The largest jeweller by market value in China opened a net 746 point of sales in mainland China in the year. About half of these were in tier III, IV and other cities. It plans to open 700 more stores in fiscal 2022 in the country.
