Gross margin improved for the 13th consecutive year, from 38.3% in 2020 to 
38.8% in 2021. The gross margin improvement is a direct result of the launching 
of high margin new products, disciplined mix management, exceptional 
productivity gains, and volume leverage.

EBIT increased 37.2% to US$1.2 billion, with the EBIT margin improving by 17 
basis points to 9.0%. Net Profit rose 37.2% to US$1.1 billion, with earnings 
per share increasing 37.1% over 2020 to US60.04 cents. With the investments in 
inventory to support sales growth and high service levels, the Group maintained 
a disciplined working capital ratio at 20.9% of sales.

Every one of the Group's business units in all geographic regions delivered 
exceptional sales growth in 2021. North America grew 33.7%, Europe grew 41.1% 
and ROW grew 31.8%. The Power Equipment business, representing 90.6% of total 
sales, grew 37.0% to US$12.0 billion. The Milwaukee business, Ryobi DIY, and 
Ryobi Outdoor businesses all achieved double-digit growth, significantly 
outgrowing the market. The Floorcare and Cleaning business also produced strong 
sales growth of 14.8% to US$1.2 billion.

The Board is recommending a final dividend of HK 1 dollar (approximately 
US12.87 cents) per share. Together, with the interim dividend of HK85.00 cents 
(approximately US10.94 cents) per share, this will result in a full-year 
dividend of HK185.00 cents (approximately US23.81 cents) per share, against 
HK135.00 cents (approximately US17.37 cents) per share in 2020, an increase of 
37.0%.
