Management Comment

==> picture [155 x 172] intentionally omitted <==

Commenting on the Company performance , Mr. Ketan Patel, Chairman & Managing Director of Creative Newtech said:

“The first quarter of this fiscal witnessed temporary sluggishness in demand for some product segments. Despite this, we have demonstrated resilience and improved our profit margins year-on-year.

In the quarter ended June 2024, our consolidated total income stood at Rs. 305.49 cr. Whereas, EBITDA and PAT increased 26.29% and 54.55% YoY to Rs. 12.51 cr and Rs. 9.09 cr, respectively. Operational efficiencies and higher contribution from Honeywell helped improve margins.

During the quarter, we made significant strides in our partnership with TPV Technology Limited, a leading LCD manufacturer. TPV Technology, has doubled down on their commitment to elevating AOC's status as the top gaming monitor brand in India. As their distribution partner, this collaboration is key to our strategy, enabling us to tap into the growing demand for gaming monitors in the market and strengthen our gaming products portfolio.

Our other recent brand additions, such as pTron and CyberpowerPC continue to gain traction in the market, while contribution from Honeywell also continues to grow.

Overall, we are building a robust gaming and licensing portfolio. Our focus remains on keeping a lean business model and ensuring long-term, sustainable growth for all stakeholders. I would like to thank the entire team for their dedication, which drives the Company forward.”
