Creative Technology

Creative Technology expects to report an operating loss for FY2021, it said on Friday.

Revenue is estimated at around US$36 million for the second half of the financial year ended June 30, 2021, which is an increase from US$30 million in the corresponding period of the previous year, but a decrease compared to US$47 million in the first half of FY2021.

Work from home, home-based learning and other Covid-19 measures boosted demand for the consumer electronics firm's products in H1 FY2021, but the demand surge moderated with the gradual relaxation of such measures in H2 FY2021.

For the full year of FY2021, Creative Technology expects revenue to be US$83 million, compared to US$61 million for FY2020.
