Having said this, in the long-term, the macro-economic factors do not pose a major challenge, with the growing preference for geographies where Pearl Global is a supplier, input prices subsiding, our widespread geographic presence and deep entrenched networks and relationships with a marquee clientele list.”
The company said that during the H1 of the current fiscal in overseas, revenue increase is mainly on account of improved realisation, whereas in India, it is a combination of an increase in the number of pieces shipped along with an improved realisation. In India, revenue partnership factory contribution to overall revenue increased from 9 per cent to 21 per cent.
The company has 8 manufacturing units in India with a total annual capacity of 28 million pieces per annum while its Bangladesh’s total 8 units have a capacity of 45 million pieces per year. 3 units in Vietnam and 2 in Indonesia have capacity of 4.5 million pieces and 3 million pieces respectively.
The Y-o-Y margin has improved because of product mix, operating leverage and operational efficiency.
