Challenging economic conditions caught up with the company, as seen in the Half Year 2024 financial results. Revenues did rise 9%, but underlying net profit fell 22.4%. The company maintained moderately positive guidance for the full year 2024 but cautioned that “trading conditions would remain challenging for the remainder of 2024.”

Silk listed on the ASX in July of 2021, with the share price now down 40.5%, with a steep drop following the disappointing Half Year 2024 results.
