5.7%Fiscal 2010 Results “We maintained stable gross margins
and delivered modest fourth-quarter operating results
despite pressure from the European debt crisis, a
parabolic increase in raw material prices, and a rising RMB,
all of which occurred simultaneously,” said Jianquan Li, Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of Winner Medical. “During the past
year we have made significant progress on several of our growth
initiatives which are evidenced in our full year results, which
include stable gross margins. We are confident the actions we have
taken will yield further operating benefits during 2011. Our brand
and competitive position continues to improve as rising commodity
costs drive smaller competitors out of business. As we raise prices
and gain additional market share by expanding distribution in China
and abroad, we are confident in achieving our revenue growth to our
target rate of 20%-30% per annum.”
