V. Discussion and analysis by the management
1. Business review for the reporting period
In 2015, the textile industry faced a complicated external situation characteristic of weak market demand, rising costs of production
factors and a significant cutdown in the cotton import quota. These unfavorable factors further brought up the production costs of
enterprises and weakened the competitiveness in export. Meanwhile, the textile and garment processing industries in Southeast Asia
rose quickly. The Company felt the double pressures from the market and costs. Under the circumstances, the Company, based on its
actual situation and that of the industry, continued to deepen the excellent performance management model, vigorously promoted the
Lu Thai Production System (LTPS), proactively implemented its global planning, accelerated the industrial and informatization
fusion, pushed forward innovation and enhanced corporate culture improvement. As such, the Company managed to maintain a
healthy and steady development trend.
For the reporting period, the Company achieved operating revenues of RMB6.173 billion, operating profits of RMB841 million, net
profits of RMB712 million attributable to shareholders of the Company, and net profits of RMB718 million after deducting
non-recurring gains and losses, up by 0.06%, -19.09%, -25.71% and -18.02% respectively as compared with last year. During the
reporting period, the main business and profit sources of the Company, as well as their composition, remained unchanged.
During the reporting period, substantial promotion had been made in its internationalization layout, management upgradation,
innovation-driven development and qualified service. In 2015, the company won the title of “Pilot Enterprise for Informationalization
Reform of the Textile Industry”, and successively claimed the fame as the “Five-star Enterprise” who had fulfilled its social
responsibility, “National Demonstration Zone for Enterprise Cultural Construction”, “National Benchmarking Enterprise for Quality
and Integrity”, “Demonstration Enterprise for International Layout” and “National Demonstration Enterprise for Technical
Innovation”. It sought its way to go abroad to improve its global layout. With the development of global resource integration getting
momentum with each passing day, the Chinese textile industry goes abroad is an inevitable trend. In order to give full play to the
technology and brand in dyed textile and shirt processing, the company effectively integrated advantageous resources at home and
abroad, efficiently avoided the impacts of potential trade barriers, attained overall international industrial layout and maintained the
company’s leading position in global dyed textile industry. In 2014, the Company successively established Lu Thai (Milan) Office,
Lu Thai (America) Co., Ltd., Lu Thai (Cambodia) Company, Lu Thai (Myanmar) Company and Lu Thai (Vietnam) Company. By
doing so, the company was able to compete fairly in product design, market information gathering, after-sales service and product
manufacturing. During the report period, the 2nd stage of Lu Thai (Cambodia) Company was put into production successfully and
4
The Abstract of the 2015 Annual Report of Lu Thai Textile Co., Ltd.
now is under operation, and the Lu Thai (Myanmar) Company was also on its production phase. The 1st stage spinning production
line of the Vietnam yarn-dyed fabric totaled 30,000 spindles, which had been officially put into production at the end of the reporting
period. The weaving project and production line arrangement are being handled orderly and it is expected to put into production in
the second half year of 2016. What’s more, the production line for shirts in Vietnam is under construction according to the plan.
Lu Thai implemented supreme performance management to improve its production mode (LTPS). The company continuously took
the market as its guidance and qualified service as its center to optimize the R&D process. With integrated resources, the company
managed to provide one-to-one service for strategic clients to win their credibility. Besides, it pushed forward the supreme
performance management broadly for the sake of improving its production mode and polishing the management in a scientific and
systemic manner. By doing so, the company’s system was enhanced, working process was standardized and internal control was
improved. During the reporting period, it passed the management system certification for Integrating IT application with
Industrialization. Its subsidiaries passed the ISO 9000 QMSC and BIC Fine Cotton Planting Certificate. Moreover, Lufeng Weaving
Dye Company and Lu Thai (Cambodia) Company passed the SA8000 Social Responsibility Certificate successively, which pushed
its management to a higher level. Great attention was paid to employee relation management, quality training and “craftsmanship”
spirit cultivation. 10 outstanding staff was selected to group a talent pool in the 1st “Lu Thai Golden Craftman” campaign. The
company also created platforms for the development of its working staff, through which, their mental health and stability could be
maintained. By integrating resources from the supply chain and unremittingly polishing its quality, Lu Thai had made great
achievements in shortening production period, reducing product inventory and improving first pass yield (FPY) through one year’s
hard work.
Lu Thai gave full play to R&D and implemented the innovation-driven policy. Investment in R&D was unceasingly increased, which
currently, occupies 4.87% of its operation revenue. In 2015, its key manufacturing process, major equipment and special working
stages had been automated and intelligentialized. “Automated digital polyester yarn dyeing technology and equipment”, which had
won the first prize of the National Scientific and Technological Awards, is promoted throughout the company. Meanwhile, garment
3D measurement, MTM automatic sample making technology and CAM automate tailor system were brought in by the company to
boost upgradation for each and every producing step. As for new product development, the company maintained one-to-one R&D
matchmaking with TMW, PVH in America and Uniqlo and Ltochu in Japan. Thus, a series of Lu Thai-style engraved products,
featuring high technology content cropped out by making full use of the upstream and downstream resources, and integrated
innovation of the whole product chain was achieved. In 2015, its R&D for technology of warp yarn foam sizing and industrial
application won the “First Prize of Scientific and Technological Development” awarded by China Textile Industry Association.
During the reporting period, the company won one first prize and one second prize of scientific and technological development
awarded by the China Textile Industry Association, one second prize of this sort in the provincial level. Besides, 78 patents were
declared and accepted. The company also participated in enacting 1 national standard. Up till now, it altogether won 42 prizes in the
national and provincial level, including 1 first prize and 2 second prizes of National Scientific and Technological Awards and 8 first
prizes at the provincial stage. 333 patents were applied and accepted, of which, 208 were authorized ones. What’s more, the company
also involved in or taking over 26 standards.
It upgraded itself from “made in Lu Thai” to “created in Lu Thai” to improve its brand influence. The company took full advantage
of its Milan Office in Italy and the subsidiary in America to internationalize its creativity and design and advance its upgradation
from “made in Lu Thai” to “created in Lu Thai”. Now, the sales for self-designed fabric takes up to 9.95% of its total production.
Owning to the product promotion conferences convened in Milan, New York andTokyo, Lu Thai established the long-term strategic
cooperation with world-renowned clients, including Burberry (U.K.), Oxford (USA), Armani and Gucci(Italy), Uniqlo (Japan) and
TAL (Hong Kong), which escalated its brand influence and popularity with time passing by. In 2015, its work “Flower Shadowing”
won the only gold prize in the “International Fabric Design Competition (China) and the 33rd (2016 Spring & Summer) Chinese
Fashionable Fabric Contest”.
Beijing Lutai Youxian E-Commerce Co., Ltd, a subsidiary of Lu Thai, was established in 2014. It is equipped with the O2O mode
featuring “place order online and conduct measurement by visiting the customers”. Customers can make an appointment and order
conveniently through Utailor, Vshop, Jingdong Flagship Store or dial 400 telephone. The company provides customized service for
clients ordering high-grade shirts. Since “UTAILORE”, one of its high-end men’s clothing was pushed to the market, repeat purchase
rate from its customers, old and new, is rising consistently. Now, its business covers the first-tire cities, inclusive of Beijing, Shanghai,
Shenzhen and Guangzhou, which paves the way for the promotion of its garment brands.
At the current stage, Lu Thai, with natural fabric as its flagship, multi-component functional fiber fabric as its spearhead,
wash-and-wear non-ironing technology as its core competency, the latest consumption trend as its guidance and internationalized
industrial manufacturing as its basis, is sparing every effort to attain a global integrated development, so as to ensure its leading
position in the yarn-dyed shirt fabric sector.
