HONG KONG - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Hong Kong has a free market economy, highly dependent on international trade and finance - the value of goods and services trade, including the sizable share of re-exports, is about four times GDP. Hong Kong has no tariffs on imported goods, and it levies excise duties on only four commodities, whether imported or produced locally: hard alcohol, tobacco, hydrocarbon oil, and methyl alcohol. There are no quotas or dumping laws. Hong Kong's open economy left it exposed to the global economic slowdown that began in 2008. Although increasing integration with China, through trade, tourism, and financial links, helped it to make an initial recovery more quickly than many observers anticipated, its continued reliance on foreign trade and investment leaves it vulnerable to renewed global financial market volatility or a slowdown in the global economy. The Hong Kong government is promoting the Special Administrative Region (SAR) as the site for Chinese renminbi (RMB) internationalization. Hong Kong residents are allowed to establish RMB-denominated savings accounts; RMB-denominated corporate and Chinese government bonds have been issued in Hong Kong; and RMB trade settlement is allowed. The territory far exceeded the RMB conversion quota set by Beijing for trade settlements in 2010 due to the growth of earnings from exports to the mainland. RMB deposits grew to roughly 12% of total system deposits in Hong Kong by the end of 2013. The government is pursuing efforts to introduce additional use of RMB in Hong Kong financial markets and is seeking to expand the RMB quota. The mainland has long been Hong Kong's largest trading partner, accounting for about half of Hong Kong's total trade by value. Hong Kong's natural resources are limited, and food and raw materials must be imported. As a result of China's easing of travel restrictions, the number of mainland tourists to the territory has surged from 4.5 million in 2001 to 34.9 million in 2012, outnumbering visitors from all other countries combined. Hong Kong has also established itself as the premier stock market for Chinese firms seeking to list abroad. In 2012 mainland Chinese companies constituted about 46.6% of the firms listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and accounted for about 57.4% of the Exchange's market capitalization. During the past decade, as Hong Kong's manufacturing industry moved to the mainland, its service industry has grown rapidly. Credit expansion and tight housing supply conditions have caused Hong Kong property prices to rise rapidly; consumer prices increased by more than 4% in 2013. Lower and middle income segments of the population are increasingly unable to afford adequate housing. Hong Kong continues to link its currency closely to the US dollar, maintaining an arrangement established in 1983. In 2013, Hong Kong and China signed new agreements under the Closer Economic Partnership Agreement, adopted in 2003 to forge closer ties between Hong Kong and the mainland. The new measures, effective from January 2014, cover services and trade facilitation, and will improve access to the mainland's service sector for Hong Kong-based companies.

GENERAL

 

TH Asia Ltd. is jointly held by the following three companies: SHL Apparel Ltd., a BVI-registered company holding 10%; Kingdom Holding 2 Intermediate B.V., holding 45%; Tommy Hilfiger B.V., also 45%.  The second and third are Holland-based companies.

Tommy Hilfiger B.V. is wholly-owned by PVH Corporation [PVHC] of the United States.

One of the directors of the subject Emanuel Chirico is the Chairman and CEO of PVH Corporation Ltd. which is a US-based company.  Another director of the subject Fred Gehring is responsible for PVH Group’s international operations.  He is also CEO of Tommy Hilfiger.  Richard Zhang and Christian Stahl are CEOs of Apax Partners LLC which is a UK-based company.

The subject is a garment trader.  It has had an associated company Wellrose Ltd. [Wellrose] located at the same address.

Ms. Nancy Shum Tak Yee, a Hongkongnese, is the general manager of the subject.

Wellrose has set up a representative office in Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, China.  The legal representative of Dongguan Wellrose is also Ms. Nancy Shum Tak Yee.

The subject’s products are marketed in Hong Kong, China and exported to Japan, the other Asian countries, etc.

The subject is sourcing all kinds of apparels for PVHC and Apax Partners LLC.  PVHC is a US-based and listed firm in The New York Stock Exchange.

PVHC is one of the largest apparel companies in the world, with a heritage dating back over 130 years.  It was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1976 as the successor to a business begun in 1881.

PVHC designs and markets branded dress shirts, sportswear, footwear and other related products.  It also designs, manufactures and markets neckwear products.  Its licensing activities, principally its Calvin Klein business has provided PVHC with a sizeable base of profitable licensing revenues.

Over the last decade, PVHC has made several acquisitions that have redefined the identity, performance and long-term growth potential of the Company – first with the acquisition of Calvin Klein in 2003, then with the addition of Tommy Hilfiger in 2010, and most recently with its February 2013 acquisition of The Warnaco Group, Inc. [Warnaco].  Through these transformative acquisitions, the Group has secured its position as one of the largest branded lifestyle apparel companies in the world, with a diversified portfolio of iconic designer lifestyle apparel brands, led by Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger.  The Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger brands together represent close to 85% of its operating profits and are expected to continue to drive future revenue and profitability growth.

PVHC has grown exponentially from its 1881 roots of selling and mending shirts for miners in Pottsville, PA and its 1920’s introduction of the Van Heusen “soft-folding” collar to become a global company with over US$8.0 billion in estimated 2013 revenues through a combination of strategic acquisitions and by successfully growing its brands globally across the wholesale, retail, e-commerce and licensing channels throughout North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America.  Its brands include Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Van Heusen, IZOD, ARROW, Speedo, Warner’s and Olga.  In addition, it license brands for dress shirts and neckwear offered in the United States and Canada.

Today, PVHC is a dedicated global corporate citizen and has the benefit of strong established operating platforms in North America and Europe and a growing presence in Asia and Latin America.

For the FY 2013 (Year ended 02-02-2014), the total revenue of PVHC amounted to US$8,186.4 million, grew by 35.5% as compared with US$6,043.0 million in FY 2012 (Year ended 03-02-2013); net income attributable to PVH Corp. was US$143.5 million, decreased by 66.9% as compared with US$433.8 million in FY 2012.

The number of full time employees of PVHC as at end of 2013 was 16,700, part time was 16,500.

The subject is fully supported by PVHC and the other shareholders.

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PVHC is Mr. Emanuel Chirico, who is one of the directors of the subject who has been mentioned before.

The history of the subject in Hong Kong is just over four years.

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