Raytech Holding Reports Financial Results for Six Months Ended September 30, 2024

Raytech Holding Limited (the “Company” or “RAY”), a Hong Kong-headquartered company specializing in design, sourcing and wholesale of personal care electrical appliances for international brand owners, today announced its financial results for the six months ended September 30, 2024.

CHING Tim Hoi, CEO and Chairman of the Company, commented, “The Company achieved a notable 31.0% increase in revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2024, reaching HKD 43.2 million (US$ 5.6 million), up from HKD 33.0 million in the prior year. This growth was driven primarily by strong sales in our trimmer series within the personal care products segment, reflecting our success in attracting new customers.”

“However, operating expenses rose sharply, with merchandise costs increasing by 40.3% to HKD 34.1 million (US$ 4.4 million) and selling, general, and administrative expenses climbing to HKD 5.2 million (US$ 0.7 million). Consequently, income from operations decreased by 43.7% to HKD 3.9 million (US$ 0.5 million), and net income fell by 27.5% to HKD 4.7 million (US$ 0.6 million).”

“Looking ahead, we remain committed to optimize our cost structure while continuing to drive sales growth. We are focused on enhancing our product offerings and expanding our customer base to improve profitability and strengthen our market position in the coming periods.”

Revenue

Revenue increased by 31.0% to HKD43.2 million (US$5.6 million) for the six months ended September 30, 2024 from HKD33.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was principally driven by an increase in sales in our trimmer series within our personal care products, which are mostly driven by engaging new customers.

The following table shows segregated revenue by sales of major products and sales of tooling for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

(HKD in millions, differences due to rounding.)	Six Months Ended September 30,

Hair styling series		19.1		20.1
Trimmer series		20.9		4.5

Operating expenses

Merchandise costs increased by 40.3% to HKD34.1 million (US$4.4 million) for the six months ended September 30, 2024 from HKD24.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was in line with our increase in sales of products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were HKD5.2 million (US$0.7 million) for the six months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to HKD1.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is mainly due to rise in salaries and additional compensation for the audit committee and rise in transport and travelling expenses as well as in legal and professional fee relating to the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”).

Income from operations and margin

Overall income from operations decreased by 43.7% to HKD3.9 million (US$0.5 million) for the six months ended September 30, 2024 from HKD7.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to the increase in IPO relating expenses. Our overall gross profit margin decreased by 5.2% to 21.2% for the six months ended September 30, 2024 from 26.4% for the six months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to the lower margin profiles of our new customers and less sales of tooling.

Net income

Net income decreased by 27.5% to HKD4.7 million (US$0.6 million) for the six months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to HKD6.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in net income was predominantly due to an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.
