Net profit decline of nearly 60% Enterprises

Ping An Securities said in the research report, "clothing consumption in the first half of 2014 basically continued the weak trend in 2013. After entering 2014, the retail sales volume of 100 major retail enterprises grew at a historical low level, indicating that the clothing sales in the second half of 2014 are still unoptimistic.

In the 30 clothing listed companies that have disclosed the first half of the year, 17 companies' net profit attributable to parent companies declined in the first half, accounting for 57%, with an average decline of 45%. 7 of them came from men's clothing industry.

The bank made a net profit of 3 billion 86 million yuan in the first half of the year. Its semi annual report shows that it has ranked the second largest shareholder of the bank.

　 Inventories continue to climb closer to 50 billion yuan

While nearly 60% of garment enterprises are running down, many garment enterprises are also suffering from high inventory. And inventory has become an urgent problem for textile and apparel listed companies.

According to the inventory change trend of Wind statistics, as of the end of the first half of 2014, the inventory of 29 clothing companies listed on A shares reached 46 billion 100 million yuan, up 3 billion 700 million yuan from 42 billion 400 million yuan in the same period last year.

Seeking transformation through mergers and acquisitions

In the context of high inventory and declining performance, some garment enterprises began to seek transformation.

Zhong Hui, a securities analyst, said: "from the internal point of view, the main business is difficult, and the poor are thinking. Clothing companies are also seeking new outlets, or choosing mergers or acquisitions. Most of the enterprises in the clothing industry belong to the private sector, making decisions more flexible in the process of transformation and upgrading.

The growth of retail sales of domestic garment enterprises has declined, which has further increased the inventory pressure and operational risk of sales terminals, and promoted the transformation and upgrading of garment enterprises in terms of business mode and channel structure. At the same time, with the change of consumption habits and the rapid development of mobile Internet, the rapid development of e-commerce business has also had a great impact on the traditional retail mode.

Its transformation comes from two aspects. On the one hand, enterprises have slowed down the pace of extension and expansion, and reduced the scale of stores. For example, King Mu slowed down the progress of opening stores, and closed 73 stores with poor efficiency. In this regard, the company announced that the main reason is that terminal consumption continues to slump, in order to control operational risks.

On the other hand, enterprises can cultivate new profit growth points through mergers and acquisitions hot industry and multi brand operation. Judging from the performance of the capital market, 3 of the top five companies in the 30 companies that have announced interim results from the beginning of this year to August 27th are involved in major reorganization and merger matters, namely, 100 round pants industry, Hai Lan's home and shares.

Among them, the shares are going to enter the game industry through mergers and acquisitions. The company announced recently that it intends to buy a 100% stake in the cool mobile interactive business, a mobile game developer, with a huge sum of 750 million yuan.

At present, the stock price is up to 219% of the share price plus the cash payment before the suspension. It intends to acquire 100% stake in global Tesco by 1 billion 32 million yuan.

Xu Jiadong and Zhen Zhen promised the net profit from 2014 to 2017 not less than 65 million yuan, 91 million yuan, 126 million yuan, and 170 million yuan.

The traditional business of the hundred circles trousers industry is the production and sale of trousers for men and women. The category covers all kinds of trousers, casual pants and jeans. The target market is mainly two or three or four line cities, and the positioning population is mainly 25~55 years old middle income group. Endogenous growth alone has been unable to save the downward trend of performance.

The company believes that cross-border electricity supplier transactions in recent years show a rapid development trend, so the launch of additional issuance, acquisition of cross-border electricity providers, in order to enhance the profitability of the company.

However, the merger has attracted market doubt. According to the announcement of the issuance of 100 round trousers industry, the head of Investment Department of the insurance company said: "is the industry advantage of global Tesco enough to support such a high performance promise? At present, China's cross border B2C retail business participants mainly include", "," Amazon "and so on. Secondly, the product of trousers is more popular than the upper garment products, which increases the desire of consumers, and there is a serious homogenization of pants products in the market, and the market competition is extremely fierce.
