SNAPSHOT OF 2Q2019 & 1H2019 PERFORMANCE

13


• Revenue of US$201.4M in 2Q2019, a decrease of 51% from US$408.7M in 2Q2018• Mainly due to the termination of the electronic components distribution business with Texas Instruments (“TI”)

• Excluding the impact of decline in turnover due to TI termination and discontinuation of a product line in March 2018, turnover for the electronic components distribution business would have increased by 9%, despite the on-going US-China trade tensions which have affected demand in China and Hong Kong. This was attributable to increased sales for certain existing product lines as the Group focused its resources to grow these product lines following TI termination

• Consumer products distribution sales also negatively impacted due to weak demand in the markets (Singapore and Malaysia) in which the Group operates, as well as the Group’s continued rationalisation and exit of non-profitable products

• Gross profit margin declined to 6.7% in 2Q2019 from 8.2% in 2Q2018

• Lower margin achieved by the electronic components distribution and consumer products distribution business resulting from keen market

competition in a challenging environment

• NPAT increased by 10% to US$2.3M in 2Q2019 from US$2.0M in 2Q2018

2Q2019 HIGHLIGHTS

• Revenue of US$431.3M in 1H2019, a decrease of 47% from US$813.9M in 1H2018• Mainly due to the termination of the electronic components distribution business with Texas Instruments (“TI”) which has impacted sales in all

markets in Asia

• Excluding the impact of decline in turnover due to TI termination and discontinuation of a product line in March 2018, turnover for the electronic components distribution business would have increased by 8%, amid the US-China trade tensions. This was attributable to conscientious efforts to grow some of its existing product lines post TI termination which saw an increase in sales for these product lines in 1H2019

• Consumer products distribution sales also negatively impacted due to weak demand in the markets (Singapore and Malaysia) in which the Group operates, as well as the Group’s continued rationalisation and exit of non-profitable products

• Gross profit margin declined to 7.0% in 1H2019 from 8.0% in 1H2018

• Lower margin achieved by the electronic components distribution and consumer products distribution business resulting from keen market

competition in a challenging environment
