Test Rite International Co., Ltd. Business Report

Dear shareholders,

Our parent level revenue totaled NT$ 11.9 bn in FY2012, a decrease of 10.3% YoY, and consolidated sale to NT$35.25bn, a decline of 1.76% YoY. However, our after-tax income and after-tax EPS attributable to shareholders increased NT$689.5mn and NT$1.53 per share, up 8.4% YoY and 14.7% YoY respectively.

The parent level revenue’s decline can be attributed to a challenging global macro environment. However, an improvement in gross margin of 1.2 ppt more accurately reflects the growth of our trading business, particularly the commission based agency business. Agency shipments increase by 30.9% YoY in FY2012, accounting for 27.5% of our total shipments. As a matter of fact, we have added four new accounts to our growing list of agency customers, as we continue to gain market share and remain committed to growing our agency business. Additionally, we completed the acquisition of International Art, a trading company that specializes in Christmas and seasonal décor in 1Q13. The acquisition will likely enhance our product portfolio and present cross-selling opportunities given a broader customer base of a combined operation of International Art and Test-Rite.

Our after-tax income and after-tax EPS increases can be attributed to the growths in non-operating income, which totaled NT$452.2mn, up 27.3% YoY. This is the result of improving operations of Hola China and the acquisition of a 51% stake in TR USA, our distribution/logistics service arm in North American, and we currently hold 100% of TR USA. In fact, Hola China posted a loss of NT$ 7.1mn in 4Q12, the smallest loss to date for a given quarter and we are encouraged by the turnaround of our China retailing subsidiary. Our retail business currently operate over 70 retail outlets in Greater China, including 25 TLW, a DIY specialist in Taiwan, 22 Hola stores in Taiwan and 32 Hola stores in China.

In August 2012, Test-Rite disposed our holdings in Tung Lung Metal (TLM) by participating in the tender offer of TLM by Stanley Black and Deckard. This is a significant event for Test-Rite from multiple perspectives. From a strategic and operational stand point, the TLM transaction will enable Test-Rite to refocus on our core competency in trading and retail businesses going forward. From a financial strategy’s perspective, proceed from TLM transaction immediately strengthens our balance sheet. The NT$ 2.1 bn proceed from the TLM transaction, combined with NT$ 600 mn in working capital improvement, the result of a from the implementation of vendor financing program for our trading business, lowered our net debt-to-equity ratio to 75.3% on a consolidated basis, below our original year-end target of 80%.

  • (1) Business plan and managerial principle:

  • A. Meticulously cultivate relationship for existing clients for the trading business.

  • B. Leverage our design capabilities to provide differentiating products and improve full range of sourcing services.

  • C. Continue to integrate operations of trading and retail subsidiaries to realize potential synergy.

  • (2) Future development strategy:

  • A. Aggressively expand the scope and identify new targets for Agency Business.

  • B. Integrate and develop emerging markets such as Southeast Asia, India, and Latin America

  • C. Target growth opportunities in Taiwan and China’s retail market through brand licensing and new store openings.

3. Potential influence from external competition, regulation and macroeconomic environment

Faced with a rapidly changing competitive landscape, Test-Rite has leveraged its +30 years of experience in trading and continued to strengthen our product offering by developing Total Solution service for our trading business. These services encompass product and packaging design, logistics, and storage/warehousing capabilities that we believe is necessary to further strengthen or role within the supply to chain to global retail operators. Since 4Q12, we have already signed on 4 new accounts for our agency business and our principle trading business is well positioned to benefit from the sustained recovery of the U.S. consumer demand.

Taiwanese and Chinese authorities have extended the tightening of the overheated real estate markets. In fact, the implementation of luxury tax, increase in utility rates and enactment of tax on dividend and interest income are likely to have further adverse impact on household’s disposable income and consumer demand. However, we remain focused on maintaining our growth momentum in the retail business and plans for addition 5-7 11 new store opening (3 in Taiwan and 4 to 8 in China) in 2013.

Lastly, all staff of Test Rite Group will spare no efforts to adequately plan, and manage our trading, retail and other investment businesses in an honest, sincere and dedicated manner, with the objective to strengthen our balance sheet and further enhance returns on shareholder equity (ROE). We, on behalf of all the employees at Test-Rite, would like to take this opportunity to thank our shareholders for your continued support and encouragement.
