Billabong will again not pay an interim dividend after swinging to a $1.6 million first half loss.

The surfwear manufacturer, which made a net profit of $25.7 million in the prior corresponding period, said gross margins were down due to excess inventory in the wake of a strike at US ports in early 2015.

'As we get inventories back in line, we believe margins will recover,' chief executive Neil Fiske said.

The company said its three big brands - Billabong, Element and RVCA - had all grown sales.
