[LII HEN INDUSTRIES BHD：生产成本加快和员工短缺]

2Q18 vs 2Q17:
与去年同期（2018年：3.94，2017年：4.32）相比，令吉兑美元持续走强9％，导致销售额增长被部分抵消，虽然收入整体增长12％。

尽管销售额增加，但利兴工业的毛利率较去年同期下降到16％（去年23％）。这主要是由于令吉的加强和运营成本的加速，特别是外国工人征收的额外管理费用。

YTD18 vs YTD17：
2018年上半年，虽然集团实现销售收入增长29％，从2017年的7,300万美元增长至9,400万美元，但由于上述相同因素，利兴工业的税前利润下降44％至2,800万令吉，相比去年同期的5100万令吉。

2Q18 vs 1Q18：
与上一季度相比，本期收入略微下降2％。

前景：
最近导致贸易关税升级的美国贸易政策变化给全球经济方面带来了不确定性。虽然他们仍然继续接受客户的强劲订单，但利兴工业面临的主要挑战是在本地方面，生产成本加快和员工短缺将继续影响集团的财务表现。

[LII HEN INDUSTRIES BHD: acceleration of production costs and shortages of workforce]

2Q18 vs 2Q17:
The increase in sales volume was partially offset by the continued strengthening of the Ringgit against the US Dollar by 9% compared to corresponding quarter of last year (2018: 3.94, 2017: 4.32) that resulted the overall growth in revenue of 12% in term of reporting currency.

Despite higher sales, the Group reported lower gross profit margin of 16% against 23% in the previous corresponding reporting period. This was mainly due to the strengthening of Ringgit and acceleration of operating costs especially on the additional overhead cost on the foreign workers levy.

YTD18 vs YTD17:
For the first half of 2018, though the Group achieved growth in sales revenue of 29% from USD 73 million in 2017 to USD 94 million, due to the same factors as described above, the Group’s profit before tax down 44% to RM28 million as compared to RM51 million of the same period of last year.

2Q18 vs 1Q18:
Revenue in current period recorded a marginal decrease of 2% compared to the immediate preceding quarter.

Prospects:
The recent US trade policy changes that resulted in escalating trade tariffs pose uncertainties on the global economic front. While they still continue to receive strong orders from customers, the main challenge that the Group faces is at the local front where the acceleration of production costs and shortages of workforce will continue to affect the Group’s financial performance.
