IC is a Danish listed group formed in 2001 by the merger of Carli Gry International A/S and InWear Group A/S.

IC runs and develops a portfolio of strong and independent brands: “Peak Performance”, “InWear”, “Tiger of Sweden”, “Jackpot”, “Cottonfield”, “Matinique”, “Part Two”, “By Malene Birger”, “Saint Tropez”, “Soaked in Luxury” and “Designers Remix Collection.

IC ranks among the largest clothing companies in Northern Europe with close to 2,500 employees.  It has sales companies in 16 countries, i.e. Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, France, Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Canada and China.

IC’s brands are sold in its retail and franchise stores and via more than 12,000 distributors in more than 40 countries.

For the year ended 30th June 2011, the turnover of the IC Companys Group was DKK 3,925.4 million (2010: DKK 3,495.3 million), increased by 12.3% as compared with previous year.  Group profit for the year was DKK 246.3 million (2010: DKK 235.8 million), increased by 4.5%.

The Group experienced a further slowdown in consumer spending during Q2 2011/12.  Consolidated revenue for H1 2011/12 amounted to DKK 2,105 million (previous year of the same period: DKK 2,108 million) corresponding to the same level as previous financial year, and the operating profit decreased by 45% to DKK 146 million (previous year of the same period: DKK 265 million) after having adjusted for non-recurring costs of DKK 23 million.

Management of the Group anticipates that the challenging market conditions will continue for the remainder of the financial year 2011/12 resulting in a substantial pressure on both revenue and gross profit.  As a consequence hereof, the Group will thus continue throughout H2 2011/12 to defend its market position by means of sales promoting activities and campaigns.

Based on these statements, the management of the Group still expects the consolidated revenue for the financial year 2011/12 to attain a level of DKK 3.7-3.8 billion.  Under the present market conditions, management expects a positive operating profit for H2 2011/12, however, should the market conditions deteriorate, the Group may possibly suffer a double-digit loss in million DKK for H2 2011/12.

The subject is fully supported by the IC Companys Group.  History in Hong Kong is over sixteen years and two months.

On the whole, consider the subject good for normal business engagements.
