It has enabled us to scale efficiently while preserving profitability, a clear validation of the right execution of our Vision 2028 strategy.
We saw strong, consistent growth across both our retail and non-retail channel of sales, which reaffirms the strength of our go-to-market approach and positions KKCL as a preferred destination for menswear, womenswear and kidswear. Our growing network of EBOs further strengthens brand visibility and enables us to deepen consumer engagement across all categories.
With a strong balance sheet and a resilient business foundation, we are well-positioned to capitalize on both visible and emerging consumer opportunities. KKCL, with its established brands, robust manufacturing infrastructure, well-entrenched distribution network, and a culture of continuous innovation, remains well-geared to meet the evolving aspirations of modern, fashion-conscious consumers.
