Top Form TOP FORM INTERNATIONAL LIMITED 黛麗斯 國際 有限公司 * ( Incorporated in Bermuda with limited liability ) ( Stock Code : 333 ) OPERATIONAL UPDATE FOR 1st QUARTER OF FISCAL 2022 In continuation of the efforts to enhance the transparency of Top Form International Limited ( the “ Company ” ) and its subsidiaries ( collectively “ Top Form ” or the " Group " ) , the board ( the " Board " ) of directors ( the “ Directors ” ) of the Company announces the following operational update for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 . SALES During the quarter , the Group has achieved sales of HK $ 366 million , which was 17 % higher compared with corresponding period in the prior year . This was mainly driven by the strong sales of seamless products and also recovery of sales to European customers . 60 % of sales were to the U.S. market , 20 % to the E.U. and 20 % to the rest of the world . MANUFACTURING Production from the overseas manufacturing facilities in Southeast Asia accounted for 56 % of the global output with China accounted for the remaining 44 % during the quarter . In the last few months , our overseas factories experienced different level of disruption due to the rampant Delta variant in Southeast Asia countries including sporadic closure of production lines , increased absenteeism due to community lockdown , etc. In order to cope with the capacity shortfall in overseas factories the Group has swiftly shifted the orders to our Chinese factories and minimized disruption to the customer delivery schedule . Despite the recent challenges in global supply chain , the Group remains committed to shift and increase the manufacturing capacity in lower cost Southeast Asian countries . During the quarter , gross profit margin was higher as compared with the same period last year due to higher sales and also improved customer and product mix . * For identification purpose only
