Nissin Foods Announces 2020 Q3 Financial Results
Steady year-on-year revenue growth of 14.4% to HK$2,685.6 million Segment results continue to record double-digit growth
HONG KONG, Nov 06, 2020 - (ACN Newswire) - Nissin Foods Company Limited ("Nissin Foods" or the "Company", and together with its subsidiaries, the "Group"; Stock code: 1475) has today announced its 2020 financial information for the nine months ended 30 September 2020 ("the reporting period").
Revenue of the Group amounted to HK$2,685.6 million, representing a year-on-year (YoY) increase of 14.4% from HK$2,348.1 million. Gross profit increased by 16.3% YoY to HK$895.9 million (2019: HK$770.1 million), with gross profit margin increasing by 0.6pp to 33.4% (2019: 32.8%), mainly attributable to the reduction in utility overheads, the relatively stable price for key raw-materials YoY as well as the shift of product mix in Hong Kong, but offset by the increase in the purchase of finished goods. Profit attributable to owners of the Company was HK$264.0 million, representing an increase of 25.0% YoY from HK$211.2 million. Segment results improved by double-digit growth of 34.5% YoY to HK$346.9 million from HK$258.0 million.
For the Hong Kong operations, revenue recorded an increase of 11.6% YoY to HK$1,071.3 million (2019: HK$960.2 million), mainly attributable to the surge in demand for most types of instant noodles and frozen food products in Hong Kong, as customers were more inclined to stay home due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
As for the PRC operations, revenue increased by 16.3% YoY (in local currency: 19.9%) from HK$1,388.0 million to HK$1,614.3 million, due to improvement in sales volume of cup-type instant noodles and the made-in-Hong Kong bag-type instant noodles in PRC.
Mr. Kiyotaka ANDO, Executive Director, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nissin Foods, said, "While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a far-reaching socio-economic impact on people around the world, we at Nissin Foods feel privileged that our products are well received by consumers and that our business fundamentals remain solid. The Group has continued to deliver steady results in the third quarter of 2020, with double-digit revenue growth in Hong Kong and the PRC. What's more, Nissin Foods has been added as a constituent of the Hang Seng family of indexes during the reporting period. The inclusion reflects investors' unwavering trust in Nissin Foods, as well as the capital market's recognition of the Group's performance and business outlook. Going forward, we will continue to look for good opportunities to broaden our revenue stream and enhance our overall competitiveness, so as to bring sustainable returns to our shareholders."
