Aashi Shah's questions to Perfect Corp (PERF) leadership • Q1 2025
Question
Aashi Shah inquired about the competitive landscape in the shoe and handbag markets following the Wanna acquisition, the reasons for the recent churn in B2B Key Brand Customers, and the company's capital allocation strategy for its large cash balance.
Answer
EVP & CSO Pin-Jen Chen (Louis) stated that Wanna is a leader in the shoe market and has the best solution for bags with few significant competitors. He clarified that recent B2B churn was among medium-sized clients due to their own financial pressures, not competitive losses. Regarding capital, he noted that holding cash is prudent, with the current priority being organic growth through R&D and marketing investment, while M&A remains a selective option.
