Revenue
Group revenue for the year ended 31 March 2014 rose by 2.2% to US$1,898.9 million
over the previous financial year. The increase in revenue was largely driven by higher
sales in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, which offset a decrease in revenue in
other regions.

Gross Profit/Margin
Gross profit for the financial year 2014
was US$634.3 million, an increase of
US$36.5 million or 6.1% compared to
the US$597.8 million recorded in the
previous financial year. Gross profit
margin for the year rose from 32.2% to
33.4%. The decline in material costs offset
higher labour costs and manufacturing
overheads arising from the increase in
wages and production capacity, as well
as Renminbi appreciation during the
financial year 2014.
Operating Profit/Margin
Operating profit for the year ended
31 March 2014 was US$226.1 million,
an increase of US$2.2 million or 1.0%
over the previous financial year. The
improvement in operating profit was
mainly due to the increase in gross profit
and gross profit margin, which offset the
increase in total operating expenses.
Operating profit margin, however,
declined from 12.0% to 11.9%. It was
mainly due to the increase in total
operating expenses as a percentage
of Group revenue, which offset the
improvement in gross profit margin. The
ratio of EBITDA to revenue was 13.6%,
same as the last financial year.
Total operating expenses were US$408.2
million, an increase of 9.2% over the last
financial year. Correspondingly, total
operating expenses as a percentage of
Group revenue rose from 20.2% to 21.5%.
