BUSINESSOUTLOOK &STRATEGIES

Page 31: CTF Annual Results Presentation 2020/2021

Outlook

Mainland China

• Expect business growth in 2H may decelerate due to a relatively high base

• Stay optimistic about the macro-economic development and the prospects of the jewellery industry

Hong Kong & Macau of China

• Even if Hong Kong’s major border crossings re-open, we expect the number of tourists may not improve significantly in short-term

• Operation in Macau will depend on the development of the pandemic

Strategies

Mainland China

• Continue our retail expansion strategy leveraging franchise partners

• Utilise technology to create exceptional customer experience, optimise smart retail applications, and

keep abreast of customers' needs with the help of data

Hong Kong & Macau of China

• Engage with customers by organising member exclusive events to satisfy local needs

• Improve operational efficiency and optimise business strategies
