The Group invested in inventory to support the above market growth levels, while working capital management remained best-in-class at 14.0% of sales.

The Board is recommending a final dividend of HK82.00 cents (approximately US10.55 cents) per share. Together, with the interim dividend of HK 53.00 cents (approximately US6.82 cents) per share, this will result in a full-year dividend of HK135.00 cents (approximately US17.37 cents) per share, against HK103.00 cents (approximately US13.26 cents) per share in 2019, an increase of 31.1%.
