達美樂中國2025年上半年業績表現亮眼 展現西式快餐市場滲透新範本

香港,2025年8月29日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 隨著中國消費者對西式快餐的接受度和喜愛度越來越高,中國的西式快餐市場保持高速增長。达势股份(1405.HK)作為達美樂比薩在中國大陸、中國香港特別行政區和中國澳門特別行政區的獨家總特許經營商(以下簡稱:「達美樂中國」/「公司」),近期報告了2025年上半年業績,其在競爭白熱化的中國西式快餐市場中脫穎而出,樹立了卓越業績新標桿,在保持高效運營的同時,進一步提升市場競爭力。財務表現亮眼 體現多重競爭優勢根據弗洛斯特沙利文數據,按2024年比薩銷售額計算,達美樂比薩已躍升為中國第二大比薩品牌。但達美樂中國並未止步於此,2025年上半年業績表現優異,多項指標創歷史新高,維持積極的增長勢頭。達美樂中國銷售額連續多年達到兩位數增長,上半年營業額高達25.9億元(人民幣,下同),同比增長27.0%。2024年公司首次實現全年報告與調整後淨利潤均為正,2025上半年淨利潤同比大幅增長504.4%達到6,592萬元,經調整淨利潤同比增長79.6%達到9,142萬元。在市場波動的背景下,在收入增長又同時實現利潤提升,這印證了其增長韌性。達美樂中國門店網絡近年來不斷快速擴張。自現任管理團隊於2017年三季度上任以來,達美樂中國充分實踐「走深走廣」的高質量門店擴張戰略,門店網絡已從一百多家擴張到1,198家店,進駐了中國大陸48個城市。自2022年12月進入中西部地區市場以來,短短兩年半內,達美樂中國已經完成100家門店佈局。達美樂中國的擴張戰略相較於速度更側重於質量。公司建立了嚴格的門店審閱基準以確保每一家新店都具備長期盈利的能力,這使得其門店汰換率遠低於行業水平。門店的高質量不僅體現在數量上,更是體現在其全球達美樂系統中遙遙領先的銷售能力。新市場新開門店廣受消費者歡迎,經常可見賓客盈門的景象。瀋陽首店僅僅開業198天就打破了此前由廈門首店創下的超3,100萬元的年度銷售記錄。今年8月,邯鄲首店更是以超54萬人民幣的銷售額和6,000多筆訂單打破達美樂全球門店首日銷售記錄。目前達美樂中國已佔據達美樂全球超21,500家門店首30天銷售額排行榜中前50名中48個席位。達美樂中國展現了強大的業務韌性:即便在新增門店與市場波動的雙重壓力下,其在剔除了超高產城市門店進入同店週期影響因素後,同店銷售(SSSG)依然逆勢實現正增長,這得益於其卓越的運營控制能力。2025年,在上海新國際博覽中心舉辦的SIAL西雅國際食品展(上海)上發佈的《2025 披薩新潛力白皮書》指出,外賣滲透率提升是中國比薩市場強勁增長的主要動力之一。2022年,中國比薩行業線上市場份額首度超過線下市場,佔比達58.1%,預計未來幾年線上市場佔比有望持續提升。達美樂中國多年提供有保障的配送服務,品牌給出「外送30分鐘必達,超時送免費比薩券」的配送服務保障承諾,上半年整體準點送達率高達94%,為未來線上市場擴張奠定基礎。產品運營多管齊下 深耕消費體驗依託達美樂全球品牌的資產能力和本土供應鏈管理能力,達美樂中國逐步實現高效的經營效率,為消費者提供高質價比的美味比薩和多樣化的消費體驗。在餐飲行業之中,產品的味道是最主要的競爭力之一。達美樂中國菜單保留經典暢銷款產品,並多年維持定價一致性,確保消費者即便在久未光顧後,也依舊能夠獲得熟悉的味道和消費體驗,從而獲得了高度的品牌認同感和消費者信任。與此同時,達美樂中國從未停止擁抱變化、產品創新,積極進行口味、食材組合的創新,也十分重視餅底多樣化。2025上半年,達美樂中國進一步豐富廣受歡迎的榴蓮比薩系列和火山餅底,推出迪拜巧克力風情貓山王榴蓮比薩、可可火山餅底等新組合,也加入托斯卡納風情芝濃三文魚比薩、可可熔岩流心芝士卷邊等新產品。達美樂中國提供豐富的配料和餅底選擇,結合高度自定義的小程序點單系統,為消費者創造了超400種風味組合,這不僅給予了顧客自由探索的樂趣,更能精準滿足每一位消費者的個性化口味需求,體現了達美樂中國深厚的品類專業度和精準的消費者洞察力。如今平價西餐快餐品牌正在加速市場下沉,觸達更多下沉市場的消費場景。《2025披薩新潛力白皮書》預計2025年至2027年,中國三線及以下城市有望新增1.5萬家比薩門店。在產品多樣化的基礎上,達美樂中國的價格策略同具競爭優勢。其菜單結構清晰,菜單劃分了物超所值、經典風味和甄選尊享三種價格分類,以滿足不同消費層級的需求。渠道策略上,同時上架第三方外賣平台,有節奏和選擇性的參加平台活動,以保持品牌定價優勢。此外,公司同步構建會員生態,雙重驅動:1.「達人薈」會員可參與新品小遊戲有機會獲得免費比薩和小食券;2. 在積分抵扣活動中,達美樂中國提供最高達10%的積分可兌換金額為消費者提供了實質性好處;3.又融入積分抽獎、入會好禮等活動,進一步提升了會員活躍度。為進一步觸達年輕一代消費者,達美樂中國在營銷上也積極創新調整。品牌營銷邁向多元化,向跨界合作和社交媒體平台拓展。品牌通過一系列精心選擇的IP合作,從去年的騰訊《白荊回廊》、Hello Kitty到今年的網易《蛋仔派對》以及近期的史努比,前述IP涵蓋年輕消費者喜愛的遊戲及文化IP。達美樂中國深度切入年輕圈層的文化語境,強化和年輕消費者的情感連接,讓品牌在交易屬性之外建立了更強的文化共鳴。同時,達美樂中國去年開始陸續佈局抖音等短視頻與直播陣地,旨在通過社交媒體平台擴大影響力,持續強化其年輕化、數字化的品牌形象。2025年上半年,達美樂中國的會員計劃「達人薈」累計會員數同比增長55.2%至3,010萬,成為上半年業績中最亮眼的戰略成果之一。會員收入貢獻佔比從63.6%進一步提升至66%,會員規模與粘性雙升,用戶池擴張的同時深化用戶參與度與忠誠度。消費者群體更為多元,將美味比薩帶給更多消費者。平衡增長下的長期潛力達美樂中國2025年上半年的表現展現了健康增長和盈利能力的難得平衡。在不斷變化的消費環境中,品牌繼續構建可持續競爭優勢,為公司保持增長、搶佔市場份額奠定了堅實基礎。憑藉美味、高質價比、高效率的產品和廣受信賴的品牌力以及紮實的運營根基,達美樂中國在高速增長的西式快餐賽道中脫穎而出。在規模持續擴大的同時,公司始終注重單店模型健康度和運營效率,支撐了整體盈利質量的穩步提升。這種兼具爆發力與韌性的發展模式,使達美樂中國成為西式快餐行業中一個極具吸引力的長期增長範本,展現出穿越週期、持續創造價值的巨大潛力。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

現代牙科集團2025年中期淨利潤升34.7%

Shoucheng and IAT Join Forces to Drive ‘Robotics + Automobiles’

HONG KONG, Aug 28, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Shoucheng Holdings Limited (0697.HK, hereinafter referred to as “Shoucheng Holdings”), Beijing Shoucheng Robotics Technology Industry Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Shoucheng Robotics”), IAT Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. (300825.SZ, hereinafter referred to as “IAT”), and Beijing IATROBOT Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “IATROBOT”) officially signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement.The four parties will leverage their respective strengths to carry out comprehensive cooperation in technological innovation, application deployment, industry chain collaboration, and talent cultivation within the robotics sector, jointly accelerating the development of new business models in the “Robotics + Automobiles” field.I. Industry Background: Robotics Entering the Acceleration Phase of Application DeploymentAt present, the global robotics industry is in a stage of rapid development, with national strategies and policies being introduced intensively. On August 26, the State Council officially released the Opinions of the State Council on Deeply Implementing the “AI+” Initiative (Guo Fa [2025] No. 11), which explicitly calls for promoting the extensive and in-depth integration of artificial intelligence with various industries and fields across the economy and society, and accelerating the formation of new models of intelligent economy and intelligent society characterized by human-machine collaboration, cross-industry integration, and co-creation.Under this national strategy, the robotics industry is shifting from “technological breakthroughs” to “application deployment.” Automobiles and robotics, as two highly complementary industries, are increasingly showing a trend of cross-sector integration. The cooperation between Shoucheng Holdings and IAT Group, under the dual drivers of favorable policy and strong market demand, will inject new momentum into robotics applications across key segments such as R&D, manufacturing, transportation, and mobility services.IAT is a leading enterprise in China’s automotive design field and the only independent automotive design company listed on the A-share market. The company provides full-process services ranging from complete vehicle R&D and design to core component manufacturing, while pursuing a globalization strategy of “technology + supply chain.” According to public information, IAT has served more than 80 clients and participated in the development of nearly 500 vehicle models. Its clients include major OEMs such as FAW, Dongfeng, BAIC, Geely, emerging EV brands, as well as joint-venture automakers. This highlights IAT’s strong OEM resources and delivery capabilities across the automotive value chain.At the same time, through its subsidiary — Beijing IATROBOT Technology Co., Ltd. — IAT has officially entered the robotics sector. IATROBOT is dedicated to building an integrated R&D, design, and simulation training platform, capable of supporting multi-scenario robotics development from simulation and testing to optimization. The company has already launched multiple R&D projects, including wheeled robots, underwater robots, drilling robots, and pet-care robots, demonstrating its potential in cross-scenario development and industry collaboration. The involvement of IATROBOT expands the scope of this cooperation beyond traditional automotive design, providing important support for the integration of robotics R&D, simulation, and automotive industrialization.By partnering with IAT and IATROBOT, Shoucheng will be able to embed robotics technologies deeply into the core stages of the automotive value chain, such as vehicle manufacturing, intelligent assembly, and production line testing. This will enable robots to truly enter the production line and accelerate industrial adoption. This strategic cooperation is not merely a technological connection — it leverages IAT’s extensive OEM client network to move robotics scenarios from “next-door demonstrations” directly into the “factory workshop,” bridging the crucial pathway between R&D validation and scaled industrial delivery.II. Key Areas of Cooperation: Balancing R&D Breakthroughs and Application DeploymentGuided by the State Council’s “AI+” Initiative, the four parties will anchor their collaboration on the full chain of “technology R&D — industrial application — ecosystem co-construction,” working together to drive industrial innovation. The cooperation will focus on the following areas to promote the deep integration of robotics and automobiles:(1) Technological Innovation and Joint R&DThe four parties will jointly build an integrated robotics R&D and simulation platform, drawing on the comprehensive R&D system of the automotive industry. The focus will be on achieving breakthroughs in key areas such as motion control, structural optimization, automotive-grade components, and large-scale manufacturing. Leveraging NVIDIA Isaac/Omniverse technology, the parties will co-develop an integrated simulation training platform that not only supports simulation of robotics applications in automotive R&D, manufacturing, and testing, but also enables cross-scenario simulations such as collaborative operations between autonomous driving vehicles and logistics robots.In addition, a mechanism for data and outcome sharing will be established: Shoucheng Holdings will provide operational data resources from transportation and mobility scenarios, while IAT will contribute expertise in automotive engineering and robotics R&D, together forming a complete closed loop spanning simulation — R&D — validation — production line application.(2) Priority Procurement and Synergy MechanismAcross R&D design, simulation training, complete machine and component supply, the four parties will adopt a priority procurement mechanism, under which signatories will be given preference as partners under equivalent conditions. Shoucheng Holdings and Shoucheng Robotics will focus on product promotion, distribution, and supporting services, while IAT and IATROBOT will concentrate on technology R&D, engineering validation, and customized whole-machine development.The parties will also work together to advance secondary development of robotic systems, ensuring optimal adaptation of robotics products to scenarios such as automotive production lines, intelligent assembly, and line testing. Through division of labor and collaborative mechanisms, a complementary cycle of product supply — technological innovation — application feedback will be established, accelerating the conversion of results and enhancing commercialization efficiency.(3) Talent DevelopmentLeveraging the research and industrial platforms of Shoucheng, IAT, and their partners, the four parties will jointly carry out technological problem-solving, simulation training, and application pilots, providing researchers and engineers with cross-industry, cross-scenario practical environments. Regular technical seminars and industry forums will be held, inviting experts and upstream and downstream enterprises to participate, thereby establishing a joint talent development mechanism. This initiative aims to cultivate a new generation of young researchers with both automotive engineering backgrounds and practical experience in robotics industrialization, laying a solid talent foundation for long-term growth.(4) Expanding Development HorizonsThe four parties will closely align with national strategies for “AI+” and robotics industry development, with a focus on scaling up “Robotics + Automobiles” applications in R&D, manufacturing, testing, and mobility services. Building on this foundation, the cooperation will gradually extend into broader fields such as smart transportation, intelligent manufacturing, healthcare, education, and public services, covering the design, R&D, production, testing, and commercialization of robots and core components. At the same time, by integrating capital and industry, the parties will drive coordinated upgrades across the value chain, ultimately forming a full-cycle closed loop from R&D validation to large-scale application. This will create a demonstrative “Robotics + Automobiles” application matrix, achieving mutual benefits and long-term value creation.III. Strategic Significance: Establishing a New Benchmark for Robotics ApplicationsThe greatest value of the robotics industry lies in real-world applications, and “Robotics + Automobiles” stands out as one of the most promising and high-potential application directions.

But due to the impact of macroeconomy, fluctuations in consumer market in the PRC, as well as increase in marketing and promotion expenses, the Group's revenue for the first half of 2025 decreased by 9% to approximately HKD 123 million compared to the same period in 2024. Profit attributable to owners of the Company declined by 56% to approximately HKD 8.2 million year-on-year. Basic earnings per share were approximately HK0.58 cents per share. The overall gross profit margin increased to 39% from 36% for the corresponding period in 2024, mainly due to optimisation of product mix during the period.Sales of white wines products of the Group served as the Group’s primary revenue contributor during the period. Sales revenue of red and white wines products accounted for approximately 41% and 54% of the Group’s overall revenue respectively for the period. During the period, the gross profit margin of red wine products and white wine products were 38% and 39% respectively.The Group has been actively pursuing innovation, embracing the “5+4+N” product strategy, with “N” standing for developing various customised products and continuously creating new products to meet the diverse needs of different Chinese consumer groups. During the period under review, the Group continued launching new products and carrying out product upgrade, that can better suit different palates, and cater for consumers with different spending power. That was done with an aim to invigorate the brand, as well as consolidating the image of Dynasty representative of domestic grape wine brand. The Group produced a wide range of more than 100 wine products under the “Dynasty” brand to meet the demands and preferences of different consumer groups mainly in the mass-market segments in the PRC wine market. During the period under review, the Group launched a new high-end product, i.e. Dynasty Chinese Zodiac Commemorative Dry Red Wine for the Yi Si Year of Snake, integrating with the Chinese zodiac culture and the leading rise of Chinese style fashionable products, by presenting the zodiac culture in a youthful visual language to attract potential consumers. During this period, the Group continued strengthening cooperation with the Wine Association and carried out activities such as "Dragon University Tours" to further expand the brand's awareness and reputation among young people.

The Group participated in the 112th China Food & Drinks Fair in March 2025, introducing new products such as Tianyang Tea-flavoured wine series, Dynasty Baifu VSOP brandy, etc., to further improve its product matrix and provide consumers with diverse consumption choices. Breaking through from the constraints of traditional wine, this tea-flavoured wine series, with its core concept of "tea and wine fusion", has captured market attention with its unique craftsmanship.

In the future, the continuous development and expansion of the sauce-flavour baijiu industry and the improvement of the level of customer groups will inevitably and effectively drive the increase in the sales of Dynasty wine and related products, thereby enhancing our industry influence and brand awareness. For the yellow wine project, after planning, a manufacturing plant with a tank capacity of 3,000 tonnes of yellow wine and special yellow wine – Chenpi wine in Jiangsu will be under construction in the second half of 2025. Upon completion of the construction works, the Group will be able to produce special yellow wine – Dongtai Chenpi Wine which allows the Group to effectively expand product categories, seize development opportunities in the Chinese yellow wine industry, and achieve a major strategic move towards high-quality development of the wine industry.Regarding E-commerce sales, the e-commerce team of the Group comprehensively operated online stores on traditional e-commerce platforms, such as JD.com, Tmall and Pinduoduo for product sales, as well as comprehensive innovation on its brand, product categories, and business systems, procedures and models via interest-based ecommerce platforms, including RED, Kuai and TikTok during the period under review. The Group’s autonomous brand communications could continue to gain the attention of mainstream consumer groups and demographic segments, and enhance effective market penetration of the Group’s products targeted at young consumers.

DPC Dash-Domino’s Pizza China Delivers Strong 2025 First-Half Performance

HONG KONG, Aug 29, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - As Western fast food gains increasing acceptance among local consumers, China's Western quick-service restaurant (QSR) market continues its rapid expansion.DPC Dash Ltd - Domino’s Pizza China (1405.HK), Domino's Pizza's exclusive master franchisee in the China Mainland, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China, and the Macau Special Administrative Region of China, recently reported its first-half 2025 results. The company has distinguished itself in China's intensely competitive Western fast-food landscape, setting a new benchmark for strong performance while maintaining operational efficiency and strengthening market competitiveness.Strong Financial Performance Reflects Multiple Competitive AdvantagesAccording to Frost & Sullivan, DPC Dash became China's second-largest pizza brand by 2024 sales revenue. The company has not rested on its laurels, with 2025 first-half results demonstrating exceptional performance across multiple metrics, achieving historical highs while sustaining growth momentum. Revenue has maintained double-digit growth for consecutive years, reaching RMB2.59 billion, up 27.0% year-over-year. After achieving its first full-year positive reported and adjusted net profit in 2024, the company posted dramatic net profit growth of 504.4% in the first half of 2025 to RMB65.92 million, while adjusted net profit surged 79.6% to RMB91.42 million. The simultaneous achievement of revenue growth and profit expansion amid market volatility underscores the company's growth resilience.DPC Dash has rapidly expanded its store network in recent years. Since the current management team began its tenure in the third quarter of 2017, the company has effectively implemented its "go-deeper, go-broader" store expansion strategy, growing from approximately 100 stores to 1,198 stores across 48 mainland Chinese cities. Since entering the Central and Western China market in December 2022, the company has established 100 stores within just two and a half years. DPC Dash’s expansion strategy emphasizes quality over speed. The company has established rigorous site evaluation standards to ensure each new location meets the fundamentals required for long-term profitability, a disciplined approach that has maintained its store closure rate well below industry benchmarks. Store quality is reflected not merely in quantity but in sales performance that leads the global Domino's system. New market entries have been enthusiastically received by local consumers, with long queues frequently observed at newly opened Domino’s Pizza stores. The first store in Shenyang broke the previous annual sales record of over RMB 31 million set by the Xiamen SM Phase III store within just 198 days of operation. In August 2025, the first Handan store shattered global Domino's first-day sales records with over RMB540,000 in sales and more than 6,000 orders. DPC Dash currently occupies 48 of the top 50 positions for first 30-day sales among the Domino's network of over 21,500 stores worldwide. DPC Dash has demonstrated remarkable business resilience. Even under the twin pressures of new store openings and market volatility, the company achieved positive same-store sales growth (SSSG), when adjusting for the impact of high-performing stores entering their SSSG cycles, a testament to its superior operational discipline.The SIAL "2025 Pizza New Innovation White Paper" identifies surging demand for delivery as a primary driver of robust growth in China's pizza market. In 2022, China's online pizza market share surpassed in-store sales for the first time, reaching 58.1%, with online market share expected to continue rising in the coming years. DPC Dash has been providing reliable delivery services for years, offering a "30-minute delivery guarantee with free pizza vouchers for late deliveries” service commitment, achieving 94% overall on-time delivery rates during the first half of 2025, which establishes a foundation for future online market expansion.Multi-Pronged Strengths in Product and Operations Deepen Consumer ExperienceLeveraging Domino's global brand assets and local supply chain management capabilities, DPC Dash has progressively achieved operational efficiency while providing consumers with delicious pizza at value and diverse dining experiences.In the QSR industry, taste represents one of the primary competitive advantages. DPC Dash maintains classic, bestselling Domino’s products on its menu while preserving pricing consistency over the years, ensuring consumers receive familiar tastes and experiences even after an extended period since their last visit, creating strong brand familiarity and consumer trust. Meanwhile, DPC Dash continuously embraces new trends and product innovation, actively exploring flavor and ingredient combinations while introducing crust diversification. In the first half of 2025, the company further enriched its popular durian pizza and volcano crust offerings, introducing Dubai Chocolate Musang King Durian Pizza and Cocoa Volcano Crust, among others, while adding new combinations including Tuscany-Inspired Cheese Salmon Pizza and Stuffed Crust (Cocoa & Cheese). DPC Dash offers industry-leading crust selections, paired with a highly customizable WeChat Mini-Program ordering system that enables over 400 combinations. This not only delivers customers the joy of culinary exploration but also precisely addresses personal taste preferences, demonstrating deep category expertise and nuanced consumer insights.Affordable Western fast-food brands are now accelerating market penetration, reaching more lower-tier market consumption scenarios. The SIAL "2025 Pizza New Innovation White Paper" projects that an estimated 15,000 new stores will be expected to open in China’s lower-tier markets between 2025 and 2027. Building on product diversification, DPC Dash’s pricing strategy maintains competitive advantages. The menu remains streamlined and maintains value, classic, and indulgent categories to serve different customer segments. For sales channels, DPC Dash leverages third-party delivery platforms for limited-time and selective sales offerings to preserve its pricing advantage. The company also builds the membership ecosystem through multiple channels, offering free pizzas and snacks through mini-games and providing substantial value through up to 10% points redemption rates, while incorporating gamification elements like points lotteries and membership rewards to enhance member engagement.To better reach younger consumers, DPC Dash has actively enhanced its promotional approach. Brand marketing has diversified toward cross-industry collaborations and social media platform branding. DPC Dash has cultivated strategic IP collaborations with Tencent's video game Ash Echoes and Hello Kitty last year and NetEase's video game Egg Party and Snoopy this year, covering gaming and cultural IP beloved by young consumers, speaking directly to Gen Z culture and values, strengthening emotional connections and establishing cultural resonance beyond transactions. DPC Dash also launched on Douyin and other short video and live streaming platforms last year, expanding its reach through social media, strengthening and reinforcing its youthful, digital brand image.In the first half of 2025, DPC Dash’s loyalty program accumulated 30.1 million members, representing 55.2% year-over-year growth as one of the most impressive strategic achievements of the half-year performance. Revenue contributed by loyalty members as a percentage of total revenue increased from 63.6% to 66%, with both membership scale and stickiness rising, expanding the user base while deepening engagement and loyalty. The consumer base has become more diverse, bringing delicious pizza to more consumers.Long-term Potential Through Balanced GrowthDPC Dash’s first-half performance demonstrates a rare balance of healthy growth and profitability, with the brand continuing to build sustainable competitive advantages that establish a solid foundation for maintaining growth and capturing market share even amidst an ever-changing consumption environment.Through delicious, high-value offerings, efficient deliveries, and trusted brand strength alongside solid operational foundations, DPC Dash has distinguished itself in the rapidly expanding Western QSR sector.While scaling operations continuously, the company has maintained an unwavering focus on store-level model health and operational efficiency, underpinning steady improvements in overall profitability metrics. This development model, which combines explosive growth with resilience, positions DPC Dash as a compelling long-term growth story in the Western QSR industry, demonstrating substantial potential to weather cycles and create sustained value.

EQS 新聞 via SEAPRWire.com / 2025-08-29 / 00:24 UTC+8    致豐工業電子集團 (1710.HK) 2025年中期收益約4.05億港元,宣派中期股息0.6港仙; 持續推進「大亞洲新能源商務圈」戰略 [香港 - 2025年 8月 28日] 致豐工業電子集團有限公司(「致豐集團」或「集團」,股份代號:1710)為香港領先的工業電子零件及產品製造及銷售企業。集團欣然宣佈本公司及其子公司(「本集團」)截至2025年6月30日止六個月(「期內」)的中期業績。 期內, 歐洲及北美仍然是本集團的主要市場,共佔本集團總收益的約92.1%。該等地區受到高利率、地緣政治持續緊張及美國關稅政策修訂在內的多重挑戰,致使部分客戶趨於謹慎,減少訂單以更嚴格地管理庫存,而其他客戶則加速擴張以抓住市場機會。客戶行為的分化導致需求波動,訂單能見度及本集團產品組合的整體構成均受其影響。在複雜多變的市場環境下,集團仍在本期間內實現了404.7百萬港元的收入,較二零二四年同期的389.2百萬港元相比增長了約4%。收入增長主要由於智能售賣系統出貨量增加的推動,被本集團核心西方市場對智能充電器、開關電源及機電產品的需求減弱所部分抵銷。 此外,毛利同比增長12.5%至約76.1百萬港元。毛利率為18.8%,較之去年上升1.4個百分點。本公司擁有人應佔虧損於期內減少了42.9%至14.8百萬港元。 集團保持穩健的財務狀況,現金及現金等價物(包括受限制銀行存款)約為103.6百萬港元,維持正淨現金狀況(現金及現金等價物減借款)。流動比率約為 2.2 倍,與於二零二五年六月三十日及二零二四年十二月三十一日保持一致。 為提高供應鏈的彈性並更有效地服務終端市場,本集團持續優化其生產網絡。除了中國大陸、泰國和愛爾蘭的現有設施以外,期內集團在英國設立新工廠,並已經開始運作,進一步為歐洲客戶加強產能、縮短交貨時間及分散生產風險。 在業務拓展上,本集團繼續以「Deltrix」品牌推進新能源領域的多元化戰略,將其產品組合從智能電動汽車(「電動汽車」)充電器擴大至包括智能能源儲存及智能數字廣告亭,以把握由全球脫碳、能效議程及向新能源解決方案轉變推動下出現的高增長機會。為配合中國「一帶一路」倡議,本集團在哈薩克斯坦推進中亞平台建設。阿拉木圖的三個模範電動汽車作為示範基地,整合了智能Deltrix電動汽車充電基礎設施、智能能源儲存、智能洗車設施及智能數字廣告亭,形成完整的電動汽車充電生態系統。 致豐工業電子集團主席黃思齊先生表示:「儘管全球經濟存在不確定性,本集團仍保持謹慎樂觀的態度,這是由於電子製造服務業務的良好訂單積壓以及集團在新能源業務中的漸進發展。我們正在推動實現「大亞洲新能源商務圈」的願景,一項旨在整合橫跨多個地區的電動汽車充電基礎設施、能源儲存、數碼廣告及智能服務解決方案的戰略網絡。 在中亞,我們已與Sinooil(中國石油天然氣集團)建立合作,在Sinooil全國約140個加油站部署電動汽車充電及數字廣告設施。展望未來,我們將建立一個結合數字廣告、智能電子商務、自動洗車服務及便利零售的全面生態系統,幫助中國企業擴大其在中亞的市場份額,並支持集團成為哈薩克斯坦領先戶外媒體供應商的目標。此外,我們正進軍烏茲別克斯坦,並計劃建設電動重卡製造廠並建立智能充電站,以支持該國向可持續交通轉型。」 黃主席續表示:「在中亞以外,本集團正擴展其在東南亞的新能源足跡(最初集中在泰國、菲律賓和馬來西亞)。憑藉在新能源解決方案方面的專業知識,致豐的目標是在該等快速增長的市場建立穩固的地位,並計劃為該等市場製造Deltrix品牌的電動摩托車。此業務路線圖符合集團對可持續發展、技術創新及為持份者創造價值的長期承諾。 在新能源行業所帶來的機遇面前,我們處於有利位置,並將進一步鞏固市場地位以實現長期業務發展。」   關於致豐集團 致豐集團為香港先進工業電子零件及產品製造及銷售企業,並為香港電子工業供應商中首間企業獲工業4.01i級的工業4.0成熟度認證證書,擁有近40年行業經驗。集團的主要製造的產品包括:智能充電器、機電產品及開關電源等,廣泛應用於智慧城市系統、醫療保健及再生能源領域。集團並建立良好的聲譽,成為眾多國際知名品牌信賴的供應商。客戶主要來自歐美,部分來自東南亞及中國。其中,集團因應全球發展智慧經濟,於2017年起與合作夥伴研發自有電動車充電解決方案Deltrix,並在歐洲市場推出。   此新聞稿由金通策略有限公司代致豐工業電子集團有限公司發布。 如欲查詢更多資訊,請聯絡:   投資者關係:Skye Shum - 投資者關係經理skyeshum@triohk.com.hk   傳媒查詢:DLK Advisory pr@dlkadvisory.com   文件: 致豐集團 (1710.HK) 2025年中期收益約4.05億港元,宣派中期股息0.6港仙; 持續推進「大亞洲新能源商務圈」戰略 2025-08-29 此財經新聞稿由EQS Group via SEAPRWire.com轉載。本公告內容由發行人全權負責。瀏覽原文: http://www.todayir.com/tc/index.php
