1H2021 Highlights Revenue of US$438.3M in 1H2021, lifted by recovery in all business segments

Revenue increased 39% y-o-y from US$314.3 million in 1H2020, when the initial outbreak of COVID-19 impacted demand for electronic components and

disrupted manufacturing activity in Asia, especially China

Sales for the electronic components distribution business increased 38% fuelled by increased global demand for semiconductors, particularly in Hong

Kong and China; improved business environment and global chip shortage playing out to the Group’s advantage in view of the Group’s extensive product

portfolio and strong presence in Asia, especially Hong Kong and China and the Group’s efforts to expand its base of suppliers and customers and its ability

to work closely with suppliers and customers for value creation

Turnover for consumer products distribution business sales rose 58%, as demand remains robust due to continued demand for computer peripherals in

Malaysia where new product launches from suppliers coincided with an increase in demand for desktop and portable computers and peripherals amid

adoption of work-from-home measures in compliance with the prolonged Movement Control Order

Turnover for other businesses increased to US$5.4 million from US$4.5 million a year ago, boosted by higher sales in the trading and distribution of fast-

moving consumer goods in Singapore and Malaysia, as well as higher sales in assembly and distribution of medical devices and hospitality and healthcare

solutions businesses driven by higher demand

Gross profit margin outpaced revenue growth, growing 81% to US$34.9M

Mainly due to higher margins achieved by the Group’s electronic components and consumer products distribution businesses with greater demand;

global chip shortage which resulted in many firms rushing to stockpile high demand chips also contributed to increased margin in the electronic

components distribution business

Net profit of US$5.8M in 1H2021, reversing loss of US$4.5M in 1H2020 5
