標普高度評價復星重返美元債

香港, 2024年11月25日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 11月21日,標普全球評級發表更新報告,對復星國際(00656)近期美元債券的成功發行表達了高度的認可。標普認為復星本次美元債的成功發行對集團融資渠道的拓寬起到積極作用,維持復星國際「穩定」展望評級不變。標普此次發表評級報告,是針對復星國際11月13日成功定價發行的一筆3億美元的3.5年期高級無抵押債券。標普指出,復星時隔三年多重啟境外美元債市場,證明了其信用指標的實質性提升和市場的廣泛認可,美元債的發行對復星拓寬融資渠道,拉長債務久期,強化流動性管理,都起到積極正面作用。本次新債發行的同時,復星宣佈要約等額的2025年到期的美元債,以確保有息債務總額不因新債發行而上升。據悉,此次債券發行成功吸引了大批國際優質投資者的認購,訂單總金額最終超過12億美元。據外電引述市場消息指,此次債券成功發行得益於公司近兩年持續堅定的聚焦產業發展、非戰略資產退出、優化債務結構和國際評級穩定等舉措和成果,復星成為近年來極少數在全球投資者信心恢復方面取得實質性進展的中國民營企業之一。在美元降息的大環境下,復星持續為長期支持它的投資者提供優質、安全、長期的資產配置的機會,為投資人創造和分享企業經營價值。標普在報告中提及,雖然三億美元的規模不大,但是結合集團之前8.88億美元境外銀團的成功組建,以及其境內銀行貸款多年成功續期的成績,標普認為復星對未來兩年內到期債務的兌付留有充足的流動性安全墊。此次美元債券,標普給出的信用評級為「BB-」,展望穩定,並預期復星將繼續退出非核心資產,集團債務將穩步下降,境外子公司步入成熟期將夯實復星的分紅收入。不久前,復星國際宣佈於9月30日通過綠鞋機制成功完成總規模達8.88億美元的可持續發展掛鉤銀團貸款,這是今年截至目前中國民營企業在市場上同類貸款規模中最大的一筆,此次銀團為三年期高級無抵押流動資金貸款,參團銀行包含多家國際領先銀行、大中華區、亞太區以及歐美等地區銀行。此舉反映了中外資銀行對於復星信用質量的持續認可,也表明了公司融資渠道的暢通,有助於為公司穩健發展提供堅實的基礎。近日,多家證券行均指出復星國際聚焦核心業務戰略成效顯著,當中,東北證券於11月15日發表研究報告,認為復星國際在「科創+全球化佈局」雙輪驅動下,戰略定位清晰、四大板塊業務穩健,此外還通過優化資產配置,現金流穩步改善。東北證券對復星的未來發展前景持樂觀態度,並給予「買入」評級。 Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

First Quarterly Profit, High-Quality Platform Growth, NaaS Technology Accelerates Ecosystem Development

HONG KONG, Nov 22, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On November 20, NaaS Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: NAAS), the first U.S.-listed EV charging service company in China, released its Q3 2024 earnings report, showcasing an impressive performance.According to the announcement, the company's core strategy—its charging service business—has shown strong growth, contributing RMB 42.37 million in revenue, a 36% year-over-year increase, accounting for 95% of total revenue. This highlights the success of the company’s strategic focus, which also resulted in a significant increase in gross profit margin. In Q3 2024, the gross profit margin reached a record-high 57%, up from 38% in the previous quarter. Notably, the company achieved a critical milestone this quarter by recording its first-ever positive net profit. Non-IFRS net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders was RMB 21.2 million (US$ 3.0 million) for the third quarter, signaling a successful transition to the "high-quality development" phase, focusing on profitability and marking a significant improvement in the company’s earning capabilities.Strategic Focus on Charging Services, Strengthening the Role as an Industry ConnectorNaaS's strong profitability this quarter is closely tied to its strategic decision to focus on its charging services business, which is a platform business in nature.As a leader in third-party electric vehicle (EV) charging services, NaaS does not directly operate charging stations. Instead, it leverages its robust connectivity, operational, and intelligent digital capabilities to act as an "industry connector." Positioned as a platform linking supply and demand in the EV charging industry, NaaS avoids the low-profit, high-capital-intensive energy solutions segment and emphasizes the distinct platform characteristics of its charging service business.NaaS’s charging service business is supported by its strategic partnership with the Kuaidian APP, which serves as a traffic portal to provide interconnection services for various charging operators. The partnership expands NaaS’s user outreach while also improving EV charging stations’ utilization and operational efficiency, by drawing to them more customer traffic . For EV owners, the service enables quick searches for nearby charging stations, including real-time status updates, improving charging efficiency and optimizing the user experience.NaaS’s platform-driven charging services integrate various industry participants, enhance ecosystem construction on both the supply and demand sides, improve industry efficiency, and align the charging sector with the rapid growth of China's EV industry.This platform business requires substantial early-stage investment, including subsidies, to cultivate market habits and expand network coverage. With the rapidly evolving EV sector, characterized by technological innovation and shifting market dynamics, initial investments may be amplified. However, as the platform grows and user loyalty strengthens, the industry shifts from chaotic expansion to refined operations, with NaaS gradually realizing economies of scale and achieving profitability at scale.According to the latest financial report, NaaS is actively aligning with industry development trends by optimizing its internal processes and improving efficiency, thereby enhancing profitability. Driven by the dual forces of market demand and user growth, NaaS is gradually entering a harvest phase.The financial report shows that in Q3 2024, the company’s charging service business achieved steady growth in both GTR (Gross Take Rate) and NTR (Net Take Rate), with the proportion of profitable orders rising to 73%. The total charging volume transacted through the NaaS network reached 1.284 billion kWh, a 13% increase quarter-over-quarter. These factors collectively fueled the growth of NaaS’s charging service business and are the primary reasons behind the company achieving its first-ever quarterly non-IFRS net profit.Moving Beyond Subsidy Dependence, Achieving Organic Platform GrowthIn addition to its impressive profitability, NaaS’s charging service business has also demonstrated significant high-quality growth in scale. As the market matures, NaaS’s business shows clear scale advantages that continue to expand.Recognizing industry trends and aligning with internal capabilities, NaaS began reducing user subsidies in early 2024, transitioning from subsidy-driven growth to organic growth by expanding user acquisition channels and deepening partnerships. This shift not only allowed the company to focus on the core value of its charging services—promoting intrinsic growth through improved products and services—but also supported the development of a more stable and sustainable revenue model, strengthening its competitive moat.This shift is reflected in the financial data. Optimized subsidy policies contributed to an 81% year-over-year decrease in selling and marketing expenses to RMB 29.7 million (US$ 4.2 million) for this quarter. Despite reduced subsidies, NaaS’s platform achieved strong growth in transaction users in Q3.Besides, latest data also show the number of connected charging stations increased by 40% year-over-year to 96,000, and the total number of connected chargers rose by 49% year-over-year to 1.146 million, outpacing the industry’s average growth rate during the same period. Significant cut in expenses does not compromise the company’s continuous growth.AI-Driven Business Growth, Building an Industry EcosystemSince the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, the industry has been exploring how AI can empower various sectors, with the trend moving from general AI models to domain-specific applications—charging is no exception.AI can process and analyze vast datasets, including user needs, market trends, and historical transaction data, to accurately forecast supply-demand dynamics and provide personalized recommendations based on user behavior. This can significantly enhance supply-demand matching efficiency and accuracy, addressing key challenges such as inefficient matching and insufficient high-quality supply in the current charging industry.NaaS was an early adopter of AI and has demonstrated foresight in leveraging it to advance the charging industry.As early as 2016, NaaS began developing AI algorithms to improve transportation energy supply-demand matching, operational efficiency, and intelligent energy replenishment experiences. In 2023, the company launched its NEF (NaaS Energy Fintech) system based on advanced AI algorithms. This system manages station site selection, revenue evaluation, operational scheduling, maintenance, and more, enhancing the operational efficiency and financial sustainability of regional charging operators while improving the user experience.The scale of data often determines the intelligence level of AI algorithms. With its charging station network, NaaS has accumulated significant supply-demand data, providing an extensive stage for AI applications. In Q3, NaaS officially joined the AI Applications Alliance and is poised to continue unlocking the value of AI in the charging service industry, accelerating the digital transformation of the sector.Beyond AI-driven advancements, the rapid growth of EVs has facilitated the integration of ecosystem resources across the charging industry. NaaS is also building its own ecosystem around its charging services by establishing long-term partnerships with automotive OEMs, charging station operators, energy companies, and the State Grid. These collaborations expand infrastructure coverage, provide user-friendly experiences, and enhance customer loyalty.In August 2024, NaaS announced an in-depth partnership with FAW-Volkswagen to provide smart, efficient, and convenient charging experiences for NEV owners. In September, NaaS reached a strategic collaboration with IM Motors to offer enhanced service capabilities. These partnerships highlight NaaS’s ongoing efforts to expand the ecosystem in the EV charging industry, creating a comprehensive and robust service ecosystem.With the rapid growth of NEVs, the charging industry, as a critical supporting infrastructure, has entered a phase of accelerated expansion. As a "connector" in the charging service market, NaaS leverages AI-driven algorithms to continuously integrate resources from various industry participants and collaborate with ecosystem partners to build a mutually beneficial ecosystem. According to the latest financial report, NaaS has transitioned from the early "cash-burning" stage to a phase of refined operations, with its profitability model gradually being recognized by the market. The company is poised for large-scale profitability, supported by its wide network coverage, and its future development is highly anticipated. Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd. Announces 2024/25 Interim Results ACN Newswire

Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd. Announces 2024/25 Interim Results

HONG KONG, Nov 22, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd. (“Tat Hong” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) (Stock Code: 2153), the first foreign-owned tower crane service provider established in the PRC, has announced its interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2024 (the “Period”).During the Period, the Group recorded revenue of approximately RMB340.9 million (2023: RMB358.6 million). Loss attributable to equity shareholders of the Company was RMB36.2 million (2023: RMB20.4 million). Such increase in loss was mainly attributable to the decrease in the average monthly service price of tower cranes per tonne metres (TM) in use from RMB225 toRMB208, thereby affecting the Group's revenue.Total tonne meters (TM) in use by the Group increased to 1,637,740 for the Period from 1,594,911 in the previous same period. As at 30 September 2024, the Group had 327 projects in progress with total outstanding contract value at approximately RMB444.6 million and 47 projects on hand with expected total contract value at approximately RMB235.1 million.For the six months ended 30 September 2024, global economic recovery had slowed down and the mainland China economic downward pressure had been significant. Due to insufficient market demand and decline in the average monthly tower crane service price per TM, market competition was intense for the construction machinery industry. To cope with the slow recovery of the domestic construction industry and the persistently weak macro economy, plus to boost future income, the Group had actively adjusted its strategies, restructured business layout and expanded business overseas during the Period.Responding to the national and international calls to promote green energy and support enterprises in accelerating transformation, the Group set up a Clean Energy Division in 2023 to focus on expanding clean energy businesses including nuclear power plants. At the same time, the Group had actively shifted to focus on thermal power plant projects. It expects revenue generated from these projects on hand to be reflected in its future results. With the new subsidiary in Guangzhou, the Group had deepened coverage in the Greater Bay Area. The Group also speeded up expansion in Indonesia, with a joint venture with a local partner in 2024 after years of careful strategic planning. With rich experience in operating business in Indonesia, the partner is expected to give the Group the support it needs to expand the Indonesian market.During the Period, the Group continued to expand its medium-to-large tower crane fleet. As at the end of the Period, it managed a total of 1,193 tower cranes, the second largest fleet in the PRC tower crane service market. With such a strong tower crane fleet, the Group has been able to focus on medium-to-large construction projects, providing them with comprehensive services with tower cranes that afford a wide range of lifting capacities. The considerable number of medium-to-large tower cranes the Group owns also give it advantage in bidding for larger and more complicated projects, and as such, allowing it to increase revenue from and the profit margins of future projects.Mr. Sean Yau, CEO of Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd., said: "Recently, the Chinese government has introduced a comprehensive package of incremental policies to expand effective investment, stimulate consumption demand, attract investment, support industrial upgrade, ease enterprises’ difficulties and issues, implement fiscal and financial measures, and stabilize the real estate market. It is evident that the country is increasing fiscal support and charting a clear course of recovery for all industries. Moreover, there is still strong demand in the domestic infrastructure and energy sector. That plus the fast-growing infrastructure markets in the Greater Bay Area and Southeast Asia have provided the Group with huge business development opportunities.”Mr. Roland Ng, Chairman of Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd., said: “The present pace of market recovery in China is sluggish, but with the new focus on high-quality growth, it is expected to gradually get back on track. We will keep our eyes on the fast-changing global market environment and adjust our operational and geographical strategies accordingly. At home in the PRC, we will seize the new opportunities brought by the rapid development of clean and green energy. Abroad, as the first foreign-funded tower crane service provider set up in the PRC, we will continue to take advantage of our brand reputation, rich industry experience, mature execution skills, profound technical strength and solid customer base to help us ‘go global’. With support from the ‘Belt and Road’ initiative and other policies encouraging enterprises to venture overseas, the Group will push to expand into more overseas markets.”About Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: 2153)Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd. is the first foreign-owned tower crane service provider established in the PRC. Since 2007, the Group has established as a tower crane service provider for one-stop tower crane solution services from consultation, technical design, commissioning, construction to after-sales services primarily to Chinese Special-tier and Tier-1 EPC contractors.

GMG Unveils SUPER G(R): A Game-Changing Graphene Solution for the Lithium-Ion Battery Industry

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - November 21, 2024) -Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) (OTCQX: GMGMF) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the launch of SUPER G®, a graphene slurry which can be used to enhance the performance of lithium-ion batteries. This breakthrough product has the potential to reshape the future of energy storage, offering battery manufacturers an innovative solution that optimizes efficiency, power, and longevity.Figure 1To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/230859_gmg_figure_1.jpgUnleashing the Power of GrapheneSUPER G® is a graphene slurry which has been developed by GMG over the last 3 years for GMG's own Graphene Aluminium-Ion Battery which has unique properties of high electrical conductivity, low charge transfer resistance and high density compared to other carbon battery additives and materials used in lithium-ion batteries.The Graphene comes from GMG's self-developed graphene production system and is then processed through a number of steps in the co-located pilot plant and finally into a liquid graphene product which we believe will be able to be added into or coated onto either a customer's lithium-ion battery cathode or anode production with a 0.5-2% dosage by weight.GMG is currently engaged in confidential discussions with multiple battery manufacturers and industry players to explore the potential testing and supply of SUPER G®. These discussions underscore the growing demand for high-performance materials that can push the boundaries of energy storage technology.Exceptional Performance Confirmed by Oxford UniversityA recent study conducted by Oxford University has confirmed the exceptional performance of GMG's SUPER G®. Key findings include:SUPER G® demonstrates 2.5 times lower mean ionic resistivity compared to standard graphite, as shown in Figure 2. Lower pore ionic resistivity will improve battery efficiency, charge and discharge rates.Figure 2: Ionic Resistivity of Graphite vs. GMG SUPER G® (100 µm thick, 30% porous vs. 125 µm thick)To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/230859_gmg_figure2.jpgSUPER G® features multimodal particle distribution (~20 µm large particles + sub-1 µm particles), which increases energy density for more powerful, longer lasting batteries.Figure 3: Cross-Section of SUPER G® with Wide-Beam Ar+ Ion PolishingTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/230859_gmg_figure3.jpgUnlike conventional materials, SUPER G® maintains its integrity during calendaring (compression onto battery foil), ensuring no significant damage to the binder layer.

However, this is not necessarily a bad thing. We can learn from Europe's transformation experience, particularly how they assist businesses in seizing the opportunities presented by sustainability, setting goals, and enhancing their value propositions to various stakeholders. Companies must begin to gain a deeper understanding of all aspects of their operations and value chains, while also paying attention to their impact on the natural environment. Just as businesses are striving to meet the demands for financial disclosures and ESG reporting, another wave of requirements will follow, necessitating more specialized knowledge."Video: https://hk.finance.yahoo.com/video/rethink-hk-創辦人兼行政總裁chris-brown-香港可持續發展最新進展-042802607.htmlMore than 100 Hong Kong designers participated in the event in Asia, connecting local designers with the global community.HKFDA Chairman Mr. Kevin Yeung shared his insights on the current fashion design industry in Hong Kong, stating, "Over the past 13 years, with the support of the Hong Kong government's Creative Industries Development Office, the association has organized numerous significant events. These activities, held in Hong Kong, Shanghai, the Greater Bay Area and other regions in Asia, have attracted over a hundred Hong Kong designers, as well as designers from Denmark, Thailand, and mainland China.

I believe Hong Kong has always been regarded as one of the most cutting-edge and international of markets. Its geographical location makes it a vital hub for cultural exchange between the East and West. In fashion design, haute couture represents the pinnacle of art and craftsmanship, making this combination particularly fitting."When discussing the relationship between fashion design and sustainable development, Ms. Bonita Cheung stated, "Juxtaposed is a project we have been undertaking since 2017, aimed at integrating various aspects of sustainability. When curating exhibitions and events, I typically do not reveal the underlying concepts directly, as I hope to encourage deeper reflection from the audience after their visit. Therefore, we explore how to achieve a closed-loop system in fashion, encouraging the use of recycled fabrics and the deconstruction and reconstruction of old inventory, off-season items, and even second-hand clothing."Video: https://hk.finance.yahoo.com/video/hkfda-楊棋彬-張潔雯-探討時尚產業的未來發展-044837487.html It is inspiring to be located in Hong Kong, and there is hope for the integration of artificial intelligence technology across various sectors in the cityDigital Domain Holdings Limited Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Daniel Seah Daniel Seah expressed his thoughts on Digital Domain's establishment in Hong Kong, stating, "We are fortunate to have received the support of the Hong Kong government.

Imagine a powerful chatbot paired with a lifelike avatar, with a wide range of commercial applications, from education to hospitality, and even in elderly care and healthcare.
