said SSS in mainland China delivered a positive growth of 2% during the three months ended

Hong Kong and Macau was negatively affected by weak consumer sentiment and stagnant
customer traffic, leading to a notable decline of 35% in SSS.
In mainland China, SSSG of gem-set jewellery was 1%. New POS opened in the past 12
months boosted the RSV growth of gem-set jewellery to 14% during the quarter. SSS of
gem-set jewellery in Hong Kong and Macau decreased by 53% during the quarter as consumers
