China Zaino International, the manufacturer of backpacks, recorded a revenue and net profit of RMB453 million and RMB53.5 million respectively for the 3 months ended 30 September 2009 (3Q09).
China Zaino says revenue decreased y-o-y by 22.5% to RMB453.3 million in 3Q09 as compared to RMB585.3 million in 3Q08 mainly due to the decrease in backpack sales. Sales of backpacks in 3Q09 were affected by a combination of lower consumer spending in view of the economic slowdown in China and outbreak of H1N1 since the beginning of the year. As such, the distributors purchased less from the group in 3Q09. The group sold 2.5 million units of backpacks in 3Q09 as compared to 4.5 million units of backpacks in 3Q08.
