Sparkle Roll Group Limited Announces Annual Results for the Year Ended 31 March 2018
HONG KONG, June 25, 2018 - (ACN Newswire) - Sparkle Roll Group Limited (Stock Code: 970.HK) ("Sparkle Roll" or the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group"), principally engaged in distributorships and dealerships of top-tier branded consumer goods, today announced its audited consolidated results for the year ended 31 March 2018 (the "Year").

During the year, the Group's consolidated revenue increased 4.0% year-on-year ("yoy") to approximately HK$2.89 billion. The increase was mainly attributable to the increase in sales of Rolls-Royce, audio products and menswear apparel products. Driven by the improvement in automobile dealership business including increase in incentive bonuses from suppliers, the Group successfully increased its gross profit by 20.6% yoy to approximately HK$399.0 million.

In addition, due to the change in accounting treatment on the Group's investment in Bang & Olusen ("B&O") as a result of loss of significant influence over B&O, it led to an increase of approximately HK$585.6 million (which is non-cash in nature) in the consolidated net profit.

The Directors do not recommend the payment of a final dividend for the year ended 31 March 2018 (2017: nil) while no interim dividend (2017: nil) had been distributed during the year as the Group would like to reserve more capital to capture opportunities.
