IV. THE RISKS FACED BY THE GROUP AND OUTLOOK

The major risks faced by the Group are as follows:

• 21 -

(1) Macroeconomic cyclical fluctuation risk: If the macroeconomic growth trend slows down, domestic consumption may be insufficient to support the industry, which will affect the consumer demand for household appliances.

(2) Increasing costs risk: If the price of raw materials increases significantly, it will affect the Company’s product costs. In addition, the rising cost of labour and installation services may adversely affect the Company’s profitability.

(3) Market risks brought about by trade barriers which may continue to increase: In order to protect their own economic interests, some countries and regions have imposed higher tariffs and compulsory certification, resulting in increased operating costs.

(4) Exchange rate fluctuation risk: If the RMB exchange rate fluctuates sharply, it will directly affect the cost competitiveness of the Company’s export products, thereby affecting the profitability of its export business.

In the face of business risks, the Company will actively respond to the challenge by improving efficiency and reducing costs, optimising sales structure, strengthening cost control and other ways to ease the pressure of rising costs caused by rising raw material prices, etc.; by strengthening capital risk control, optimising account period management, reducing abnormal capital occupation and improving capital turnover efficiency; by firmly implementing the strategy of high-quality good products, focusing on long-term capacity building, building product power and market power, etc., to build up the Company’s sustainable growth capacity and ensure the Company’s sustainable, healthy and stable development.

EXPOSURE TO EXCHANGE RATE FLUCTUATION AND ANY RELATED HEDGE

Since part of the purchase and overseas sales of the Group during the Reporting Period were denominated in foreign currency, the Group is exposed to certain risk of exchange rate fluctuation. The Group has used financial instruments such as import/export documentary bills and forward contracts for exchange rate hedging purposes.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The eleventh session of the audit committee of the Company has reviewed the interim results of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2021.

GEARING RATIO

As at 30 June 2021, the Group’s gearing ratio (calculated according to the formula: total liabilities divided by total assets) was 73.8 % (as at 30 June 2020: 66.03%).
