Chairman's Message & Key Developments
Management Comment


Commenting on the Company performance, Mr. Ketan Patel, Chairman & Managing Director of Creative Newtech said:
"The first quarter of this financial year witnessed continued headwinds from the COVID-19 pandemic. With partial lockdowns in several states across India, this quarter represents practically barely two months of operations for the Company. Despite this, we have performed well. Infact, June reported one of our highest ever monthly sales, followed by a strong July month.
In the quarter ended June 2021, on a standalone basis, we reported a 111.04% YoY growth in revenue, with EBITDA and net profit growing 221.23% and 481.09% YoY to Rs. 5.89 cr and Rs. 3.02 cr, respectively. While this is mainly since the first quarter of last year was severely impacted by the nationwide lockdown, growth was also supported by strong demand for brands like Samsung, Cooler Master and PNY. Operational efficiencies and benefits from export incentives helped profit margins.
Going into the second quarter, the markets are slowly opening up and demand is picking up pace. Some of the recent additions in our brands portfolio include agreements with Hyperice Inc., a US-based specialist in muscle recovery and massage products; MSi, a globally renowned name in computers; and Colorful Tech, a global brand specializing in SSDs etc. These associations are in line with our strategy to continually update and refresh our product portfolio to keep it relevant to the ongoing times and trends.
Our Honeywell portfolio is also strengthening with the addition of audio products and air purifiers which will be launching soon in the coming months. These developments, coupled with our progress in Ckart, gives an optimistic view for the coming quarter.
While the consumer sentiment is still cautious as there is speculation of a third wave of the pandemic, the overall market scenario is improving. The Company is well positioned to cater to the domestic as well as international markets while keeping a lean and efficient business model, thereby ensuring long-term, sustainable growth for all stakeholders.
I would like to thank the entire team for their dedication and for coming together during such uncertain times."
