Yue Yuen Industrial (Holdings) Limited, the manufacturer of footwear for most major outdoor and athletic brands, reported that the company’s September 2024 net consolidated operating revenue increased 9.7 percent to $660.4 million, a deceleration from the 11.6 percent increase in August. Still, the volume for September fell short of the $680.4 million produced in July 2024 and the $713.3 million produced in August 2024.
Yue Yuen’s September 2024 increase easily comped against the 19.1 percent decline to $602.1 million in September 2023, helped by continued growth in its Manufacturing shipments this year and a return to growth in the Pou Sheng China Retail unit.
The company’s net consolidated accumulative operating revenue for the nine months ended September 30 (YTD) increased 1.5 percent year-over-year to $6.08 billion.
Yue Yuen Manufacturing
The company’s Manufacturing business posted a 26.7 percent increase in September, an acceleration from a 21.1 percent increase in August. This is slightly less than the 22.0 percent increase Yue Yuen posted in July 2024 and nearly reversing the 28.7 percent decline posted in September 2023.
Manufacturing posted a 9.0 percent increase for the nine-month YTD period this year, easily comping against a 20.9 percent decrease for the YTD period last year.
