The Li & Fung Group has been trading since 1906 and is now the
market leader amongst export trading and sourcing companies in Hong Kong and
even Asia Pacific region. Main activity
of Li & Fung is investment holding.
Its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the export of consumer
products, including garments and textiles, fashion accessories, toys and games,
sporting goods, home furnishings, handicrafts, shoes, travel goods and
tableware. The Group is also engaged in
property investment, including the development of two industrial parks at Panyu
and Heshan, China. Its largest markets
are the United States and Western Europe.
The Group’s turnover in 2011 increased by 26% to US$20,030 million
(approximately HK$156 billion), reflecting continued market share gains by its
business through organic growth and earlier acquisitions as well as the
synergistic dynamics of the new structure of three Business Networks,
notwithstanding global economic uncertainties.
Asia has become an important growth platform for Li & Fung’s
businesses and sourcing activities, as brands and retailers around the world
are increasingly focusing on the region.
With the addition of the LF Asia platform in this fast-growing consumer
market, Li & Fung completed its global Distribution Network in 2011,
contributing to the expansion of its distribution business. LF Asia accounted for 26% of total
Distribution Network’s turnover in 2011.
At the same time, sourcing volume from Asia reached US$14,713 million.
Asia represented 92% of the Group’s total sourcing activities, spanning 20
economies in the region, including China, Vietnam, Indonesia, India, Cambodia,
Thailand and the Philippines, as the Group continues to expand its sourcing
network. The followings are the
highlights of the Group for the year of 2011:-
·
Core operating profit increased by 22% to US$882
million; core operating profit margin decreased from 4.6% to 4.4%
·
Total margin increased by 37% to US$3,074 million,
increasing as a percentage of turnover from 14.1% to 15.3%
·
Profit attributable to shareholders reached US$681
million, representing an increase of 24% compared to 2010
FY 2011 was the first year of the current Three-Year Plan
(2011-2013). The targets of this new
Three-Year Plan 2011-2013 are to achieve Core Operating Profit of US$1.5
billion by 2013, with Trading, Logistics and Distribution expected to
contribute US$0.7 billion, US$0.1 billion and US$0.7 billion respectively. The Group’s long-established market position
across the supply chain network puts us in an unique position to optimize
opportunities for remarkable growth in the future.
With effect from 1st January, 2011, the Group and its subsidiaries have
changed their functional currency from Hong Kong dollars to US dollars. US dollars have also been adopted as the
presentation currency of the Group’s interim financial report.
The Group has maintained its strong credit ratings from Moody’s and
Standard & Poor’s at A3 (stable) and A- (stable) respectively. It continues to enjoy healthy cash flows and
has strong credit ratios.
As of 31st December, 2011, the Group had a total workforce of 29,624, of
whom 4,518 were based in Hong Kong and 25,106 were located overseas.
In the years ahead, with the increased shift towards outsourcing by
customers worldwide, the Group expects to increase market share. This expansion coupled with Li & Fung’s
strong financial position lays a solid foundation for the Group to emerge even
stronger when the economic downturn recedes.
The subject is fully supported by the Li & Fung Group.
On the whole, in view of the background and parentage of the subject,
consider it good for normal business engagements.
