Summary of the 2022 third-quarter reports of listed companies in the branded apparel industry


Brand Apparel: Moderate Improvement in Q3 Performance, Challenges Remain in Q4
 Q3 Summary: With the lifting of Shanghai's lockdown in June, brand apparel revenue showed moderate improvement in Q3. Momentum was positive in July and August, but September saw another setback. Overall, Q3 still saw a slight decline, with a relatively larger drop in net profit.
  Industry Outlook: As of the end of Q3, brand inventories remain high. The intensified nationwide lockdowns in October have increased the operating pressure on brands. The recovery of brand apparel performance depends on the evolution of the epidemic and prevention and control policies.
  Textile Manufacturing: Slower Growth in Q3 Performance, Focus on Demand Turning Point
  Q3 Summary: Under the environment of weakening external demand and repeated domestic epidemics, the revenue growth rate of most textile enterprises slowed down. Some enterprises benefited from the increase in gross profit margin and exchange gains due to the depreciation of the RMB exchange rate, maintaining high growth. However, overall, there is some performance pressure.
   Export Outlook Pressure is becoming apparent. Later, as overseas economies gradually recover and brand inventories return to normal, the growth rate of textile orders is expected to bottom out and rebound. During this process, manufacturing leaders with excellent comprehensive competitiveness and strong customer stickiness are expected to maintain relatively stable performance. In addition, against the backdrop of the expected energy crisis and cold winter in Europe, the demand for thermal products will increase significantly, benefiting relevant domestic export enterprises.
   Domestic Sales Outlook Domestic downstream demand fluctuates due to repeated epidemics, but under the background of the rise of a major country, enterprises with clear long-term benefits are expected to achieve performance growth ahead of the industry.
