Résultats financiers intermédiaires

Lever Style Corporation, listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol 1346, announced its interim financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2026. The company reported a total revenue of US$113.2 million, marking a 23.8% year-over-year increase. This growth was attributed to the acquisition of the Active Apparel Group Pty Ltd and Active Apparel Group (America) LLC, commonly referred to as AAG, which took place on 2 January 2026. The newly acquired businesses have since been fully integrated into Lever Style’s operations, contributing significantly to the company’s performance during the reporting period. The company’s net profit for the first half of 2026 stood at US$5.4 million, representing a modest 1.8% increase compared to the same period in 2025. This slight rise in profitability was influenced by one-time integration expenses incurred during the merger process. According to William Tan, CEO of Lever Style, these costs were primarily related to temporary staffing overlaps and the alignment of internal processes, systems, and personnel. Despite the initial financial impact, the management team views these expenditures as essential for ensuring the long-term profitability and efficiency of the newly integrated business units. As the integration phase nears completion, Lever Style has begun to benefit from a more streamlined and optimized cost structure. The company anticipates that the economies of scale achieved through this consolidation will provide greater operating leverage moving forward. This strategic move is part of a broader initiative to transform Lever Style into a technology-driven apparel platform, enhancing its operational agility and competitiveness within the global fashion industry. In parallel with its financial performance, Lever Style has made notable strides in technological innovation. The company has successfully implemented its proprietary Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system, along with custom-developed AI tools tailored to its unique business requirements. These internal systems aim to improve workflow visibility, expedite product development cycles, and minimize waste throughout the company’s asset-light supply chain. By leveraging in-house research and development capabilities, Lever Style has further strengthened its position as a leader in the tech-integrated apparel sector. Looking ahead, Lever Style’s leadership expressed confidence in the resilience of its core markets, particularly the premium segment. Stanley Szeto, Executive Chairman of the company, noted that while the U.S., the company’s primary market, has shown surprising stability, there is a noticeable divergence in consumer behavior across different income tiers. He described the economic landscape as “K-shaped,” highlighting the contrast between a struggling middle market characterized by limited liquidity and a more affluent segment where discretionary spending remains robust. Lever Style’s focus on upscale designers and premium fashion brands positions it to weather these economic fluctuations effectively. Moving forward, Lever Style plans to continue investing in its digital infrastructure and expand its offerings to maintain its competitive edge. With its recent acquisitions and ongoing technological advancements, the company is poised to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the evolving apparel industry. As it navigates the complexities of a dynamic market, Lever Style remains committed to delivering sustainable growth and shareholder value.
