Annual Report 2019 Report Annual www.singerbd.com ANNUAL REPORT 2019 ANNUAL REPORT 2019 2019 A Stronger Brand SINGER’s triumphant journey as the ‘Number 1 Choice for Generations’ continued during the year 2019. The widespread presence of Singer in Electronic, Print and Digital media has assisted the brand to create for itself a robust and lasting impression on the customers’ minds. Research findings reflect that consumers believe in SINGER as a contemporary brand which is relevant to their lives. Innovative campaigns and activities helped the brand to reach even closer to consumers. Product-centric field activations, shop-centric fairs, product demonstrations, free service campaigns and mobile shops have been helping the brand to be engaged with more consumers. A number of new television commercials on Voice Control TVs, Washing Machines and No-frost Refrigerators were released during the year. Extensive campaigns were launched during Eid-ul-Fitr, Eid-ul-Adha and the Cricket World Cup. Abolombon: A SINGER - BRAC Initiative In Bangladeshi society, developing earning skills is a key for women to be empowered. Women particularly belonging to extreme poverty level are considered as the underprivileged as they do not have the financial capacity or access to mainstream skill development educations. In this backdrop, SINGER Bangladesh, in association with leading development agency BRAC, took a joint initiative titled – ‘Abolombon’. The objective of this two-year long project was to facilitate the underprivileged women with free of cost tailoring training to develop sewing skills. Under this initiative, 5,000 women, living below the poverty line, received tailoring training for free at 15 BRAC centres across the country. During the training period, the participants also received sewing accessories free of cost. This project ‘Abolombon’ aims at empowering women so that they can be self-dependent and improve their socio-economic conditions. A good number of these women have changed their lives using their sewing skills as a means of earning. The training helped them to build up their capacity to earn through tailoring at their neighborhoods or localities, eventually leading them towards self-reliance. https://singerbd.com Contents 12 CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT Our key strengths are SINGER brand and nationwide distribution network which contributed to the coveted success. 7 COMPANY PROFILE Singer has been operating 37 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE in this region (Bangladesh) since 1905 Compliance is the central pillar of Singer management and corporate culture 8 2019 AT A GLANCE and at the same time, an integral part of 405 Retail Outlets, 974 Dealers & 1653 Members all of its business processes. 11 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS 42 FINANCIAL REVIEW 2019 Net Income increased by Operating profit increased to 12% compared to that of last year Taka 1,951 million against Taka 1,659 million of the year 2018 14 BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Board comprises Directors having diverse and 46 PEOPLE IN SINGER professional expertiese and experiences Employees bring values, skills, diversity and expertise to singer that make us the 18 MANAGEMENT TEAM market leader in the consumer durables Leaders behind company’s success industries in the country 22 DIRECTORS’ REPORT 48 MANAGING RISK Revenue reached Tk. 15.5 billion The management always monitors which was higher by 14.2% over the the effectiveness of the designed systems previous year’s revenue of through receiving various reports from Tk. 13.6 billion. different departments 2 » Singer Bangladesh Limited Annual Report 2019 Contents 34 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FROM MD’S DESK Strategies and initiatives implemented over the last few years have paid off with tremendous Revenue growth as well as strengthening of operating fundamentals. 40 Statement of Value Added 50 Audit Committee Report 52 Directors' Responsibilities for Financial Statements 53 Nomination and Remuneration Committee Report 55 Activity Calendar 57 Auditors’ Report 107 Directors' Report Singer Bangladesh Limited International Appliances Limited 60 Financial Statements 108 Auditors’ Report Singer Bangladesh Limited International Appliances Limited 109 Financial Statements International Appliances Limited 113 Share Information 114 Glossary of Financial Terms 115 Notice of Annual General Meeting Singer Bangladesh Limited » 3 Vision To be the most admired and respected family company in the country Values We live up to the expectation of a responsible organization by contributing to the improvement Consumers in the quality of life of our customers through outstanding product and services.
