While the domestic economy has so far weathered the challenges on a combination of resilient exports and private consumption, uncertainties remain because of the potential risks from supply-chain disruptions and rising commodity prices leading to inflationary pressure.""We are more neutral as to the prospects for the remaining quarters of the year given these challenges especially with the softening of steel prices and the weaker ringgit. We have increased monitoring of steel prices and related currencies and continue to take proactive measures including negotiating forward contracts, where necessary, as well as prudent inventory management, to reduce any negative impact which may arise. The Group will strive to keep operating costs at manageable levels while enhancing operating capabilities and efficiencies to meet customer requirements and to ensure timely satisfaction of customer orders."Leon Fuat Berhad: [BURSA: LEFU] , https://www.leonfuat.com.my/ Copyright 2022 ACN Newswire.

稳中求进,翼辰实业(1596.HK)上半年营收再创佳绩 ACN Newswire

稳中求进,翼辰实业(1596.HK)上半年营收再创佳绩

HONG KONG, Aug 29, 2022 - (亚太商讯 via SEAPRWire.com) - 一.营收同比增长8.7%,翼辰实业上半年总营收破6.4亿(图片来源:翼辰实业年报)2022年以来,国际形势复杂严峻,国内疫情散点多发,国际大宗商品价格大幅上涨,对经济造成了不利的影响。据国家统计局发布数据,按不变价格计算,上半年国内生产总值(GDP)同比增长2.5%;上半年全国居民消费价格(CPI)平均指数同比上涨1.7%。这两组重磅数据充分说明了国内经济在“需求收缩、供给冲击、预期转弱”这三重压力下,增速明显放缓。许多企业在经济恶化中苟延残喘,甚至走上“裁员过冬”的道路。然而,有一家企业却在恶劣的经济环境中取得佳绩,其上半年总营收突破6.4亿,同比大增8.7%,它便是河北翼辰实业集团股份有限公司。翼辰实业是中国领先的铁路扣件系统产品供应商,其早年独具慧眼进入铁路扣件行业,并与铁科院开展技术合作,积累了十多年的铁路扣件系统供应经验,成为中国七家取得中铁检验认证中心产品认证的预先组装的高铁铁路扣件供应商之一。经过多年深耕,翼辰实业逐步领航铁路扣件行业,完成了多个“中国第一”的里程碑项目,获得了市场的高度认可。二.铁路扣件系统产品分部稳如磐石,焊丝产品分部异军突起翼辰实业的主要业务集中在三大分部,包括铁路扣件系统产品分部、焊丝产品分部和铁路轨枕产品分部。据翼辰实业2022年中报透露,截至6月30日,其铁路扣件系统产品的收入占据集团总收入的69.7%,约4.5亿元,较去年同期稳中有进0.2%。可见,即使国内经济面临“三大重压”,翼辰实业的核心业务仍旧稳如磐石,并未受到太大冲击,也说明了越是艰难的环境,越能体现一家优质企业的生命力和韧性。在核心业务稳中有进的条件下,翼辰实业采取了产品多元化战略,并在今年上半年取得了卓越的成效。据中报披露,上半年翼辰实业焊丝产品收入约1.52亿元,较去年同期大增51.4%,系受益于公司增加实心焊丝业务以及焊丝市场需求上升。从侧面可以分析出,实心焊丝业务在细分领域内行业景气度逆势攀升,造就了翼辰实业焊丝产品分部异军突起的良好局面。而业务收入占比较小的铁路轨枕产品收入约0.34亿元,较去年同比增加19.7%,系子公司邢台炬能收入增加所致。从三大分部的表现来看,翼辰实业业务发展上稳扎稳打,核心业务稳中有进,而多元化的产品战略扩充了翼辰实业的产业版图,为其业绩的增长注入了强劲的动力,同时规避了单一业务结构的风险,大大增加了翼辰实业的综合抗风险能力。三.稳增长经济政策逐步落实,下半年铁路建设有望加速2022年5月16日,国铁集团召开党组扩大会议称,铁路部门充分发挥铁建投资数量多、用工规模大、关联链条长、拉动经济增长作用明显等优势,聚焦服务国家重大战略实施,高质量推进川藏铁路建设,紧盯国家“十四五”规划纲要确定的102项工程中涉铁项目落地。从会议强调铁建发挥拉动经济增长作用的措辞中推断,2022年下半年铁建方面的稳增长政策将可能超预期出台和落地,铁路建设的步伐可能大大加快。翼辰实业在铁路扣件系统产品供应方面,有着十多年的丰富经验和可靠的技术,在强调高质量推进铁路建设的今天,具有明显的核心优势。随着出疆入藏等铁路干线及沿海沿边轨道交通“四网融合”的发展,高质量铁路扣件的需求将持续攀升,届时,翼辰实业的主营业务有望百尺竿头更进一步!四.总结当前,全球经济下行压力巨大,疫情、通胀、流动性收紧等因素持续拖累经济的增长。翼辰实业能清晰的分析经济形势,采取稳中求进的方式去扩展原有业务,而非一味追求扩大规模和增加新业务,充分发挥了自身领域的技术和资源优势,在逆境中,取得了上半年营收破6.4亿的佳绩。不得不说,翼辰实业作为行业领先者,在把握大势和危机处理能力方面确有过人之处,相信随着其多元化产品业务的高歌猛进,翼辰实业将在新的征途中,乘风破浪,再谱新篇!

Supported by stable revenue, Excluding the impact of share-based non-cash compensation expenses and goodwill impairment losses, the Group recorded an adjusted net profit of RMB402 million, a year-on-year increase of 150.8%. The Group's gross profit increased by 22.8% to approximately RMB17.3 billion, and the gross profit margin also increased to 42.6% from 34.9% in the same period last year, primarily due to an increase in the proportion of revenue from products under revenue-sharing businesses with high gross profit and the optimization of the revenue-sharing structure.In particular, revenue from social networking products accounted for 69.6% of total revenue.

Entering the new era of Web 3.0, we have drawn on our extensive operating experience and social network to continuously acquire new technologies. In June 2022, we upgraded our brand, changing its name to Inkeverse Group Limited, and announcing our entry into the metaverse market. We are poised to seize the new growth opportunities presented by the times and the industry, and strive to bring better returns to our shareholders."Business ReviewContinuous development in live streamingLooking at the development of live streaming thus far, it is no longer a tool in a single scenario, but a strong pillar of support facilitating the growth of other business sectors. The new metaverse era has driven the development of virtual reality and other advanced technologies.

In addition, the Group has been actively exploring the new ecology of metaverse social networking. Its diversified models have also helped improve the profitability of the social networking sector.Increased dating match efficiencyThe Group maintained its market acumen and developed an innovative matching and dating model. By continuously optimizing the user matching strategy, the rapid penetration of the "Cloud Matching" model has completely improved the issue of "unmatched dating information". The Group has established its position as a leader in the online dating industry with its professional and extensive product operations and user services. In addition to providing professional relationship guidance, "Matchmakers," has created tens of thousands of jobs in the markets of lower-tier cities and facilitated more than 25 million dating matches. In May 2022, the Group launched "Love Planet" for lovers to create a new ecology for romantic social networking. By reaching male and female users of different ages in different regions, the satisfaction and influence of our brand have been furthered enhanced.Rapid growth of middle platform valueWith the diversification of business development, the value of the Group's middle platform has grown at an accelerated pace. In addition to stepping up investment in the metaverse, Web 3.0 and other cutting edge technologies, the Group constructed an efficient and intelligent data input system for the overseas market, upgraded the overseas multi-cloud structure and applied HTTP 3 and other technologies to improve service access quality in major countries and regions around the world, providing strong support to the overseas business expansion and development of the metaverse ecology. Prospects Looking ahead, the Group will focus on pan-entertainment development of overseas markets. With interactive entertainment and social networking sectors at the core, the Group will promote and replicate its operating experiences in different countries and regions, actively explore local demand and achieve breakthroughs in more markets around the world. At the same time, the Group will seize diversified development opportunities, continue to enrich and upgrade the metaverse elements in its products, quickly enter the emerging Web 3.0 sector and try to integrate frontier elements with social networking experiences to maintain profits and achieve quality growth.

Argus Research: Society Pass (Nasdaq: SOPA) – Building a Loyalty-Driven E-Commerce Platform in Southeast Asia ACN Newswire

Argus Research: Society Pass (Nasdaq: SOPA) – Building a Loyalty-Driven E-Commerce Platform in Southeast Asia

SINGAPORE, Aug 29, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Argus Research Company ("Argus Research") issues Equity Research Report on Society Pass Inc. (Nasdaq: SOPA) ("SoPa").Click Here (on Society Pass website) or Here (on Argus Research website) to view the full Argus Research Equity Research Report. https://tinyurl.com/ArgusResearch-SOPA-26AugustSummary Points:- Society Pass Inc. ("SoPa"), founded in 2018 and based in Singapore, operates e-commerce platforms in Southeast Asia ("SEA"). SoPa focuses on the fast-growing markets of Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand, which together account for more than 80% of the Southeast Asian population. SoPa's vertical markets include Lifestyle, Grocery and Food Delivery, Mobile Telecommunications, Loyalty, Travel, and Digital Media. Society Pass completed an initial public offering and began trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker SOPA in November 2021. SOPA shares were added to the Russell 2000 index in December 2021.- SoPa's business model is based upon acquiring smaller e-commerce companies with high growth potential at a relatively low cost and expanding its user base across a robust product and service ecosystem. SoPa plans to integrate these diverse businesses by attracting and retaining customers through a loyalty program called Society Points, which has entered beta testing and is expected to launch broadly in the beginning of 2023. Loyalty program members will be able to redeem points to make purchases directly from Society Pass or from affiliated merchants. They will also receive personalized promotions and discounts based on the company's data capabilities and understanding of consumer shopping behaviour. Argus Research believes that this open-loop loyalty program differentiates Society Pass from other regional competitors.- As of August 2022, SoPa has amassed more than 3.3 million registered consumers and over 205,700 affiliated merchants and brands. Second-quarter 2022 revenues of approximately $500,000 reflect the nascent stage of its platform rollout.- Argus Research has a favourable view of SoPa's target markets given its still limited e-commerce capabilities and strong projected growth. Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand all have young, rapidly-growing populations with a median age of 25-32, compared to an estimated 42 in China, a much more mature market. SEA economies are also growing at a faster-than-average rate. According to the International Monetary Fund, since 2010, SEA has averaged 4.6% GDP growth, compared to 0.7% in Japan, 0.8% in the EU, and 1.7% in the US.- Argus Research forecasts 2022 revenues of $7 million and 2023 revenue of $30 million, primarily driven by Leflair and supported by Pushkart, Handycart, and other recently completed acquisitions. Argus Research expects the broad launch of the Society Points programs to accelerate the revenue growth trajectory, and Argus Research forecasts a revenue run rate of approximately $40 million by the end of 2023 (for entities whose acquisition have already closed).- SoPa's recent market cap near $50 million is close to one-time 2023 year-end revenue run-rate forecast of $40 million, and well below the average multiple of four-to-five times for a basket of comparable e-commerce peers. Argus Research believes the current valuation does not seem to reflect adequately SoPa's growth prospects, driven by acquisitions, the loyalty points program, and continued economic recovery in SEA. Further, Argus Research thinks that the restructuring of Leflair to a separate entity that can eventually support its own public listing can unlock shareholder value for SoPa, with an attractive return on capital, under a holding company model.- To value Society Pass, Argus Research applies a six-times multiple to a year-end 2023 revenue run-rate forecast of $40 million, discounted back one period at 10%. Argus Research then adjusts based on its outlook for $15 million in cash and share count of 30 million at the end of 2022, and arrive at a fair value estimate for SOPA of $8 per share, well above current levels.- In Argus Research's view, a premium to the peer average is warranted, given the early stage of Society Pass' revenue-growth trajectory. Argus Research notes that its revenue assumptions could change significantly, as the company continues its M&A strategy and integrates new companies into its product and service ecosystem.About Society Pass IncAs a digitally-focused loyalty and data marketing ecosystem in Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand and with offices located in Angeles, Bangkok, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Jakarta, Manila, and Singapore, SoPa is an acquisition-focused e-commerce holding company operating 6 interconnected verticals (loyalty, digital media, travel, telecoms, lifestyle, and F&B), which seamlessly connects millions of registered consumers and hundreds of thousands of registered merchants/brands across multiple product and service categories throughout SEA.SoPa's business model focuses on analysing user data through its Society Pass loyalty platform and circulation of its universal loyalty points or Society Points.

Spartan Capital: Society Pass (Nasdaq: SOPA) – SoPa’s Nusatrip Cleared for Take-off ACN Newswire

Spartan Capital: Society Pass (Nasdaq: SOPA) – SoPa’s Nusatrip Cleared for Take-off

NEW YORK, Aug 27, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Spartan Capital Securities LLC ("Spartan Capital") issues Equity Research Report on Society Pass Inc. (Nasdaq: SOPA) ("SoPa").Click Here (on Society Pass website) to view the full Spartan Capital Equity Research Report. https://tinyurl.com/SpartanCapital-SOPA-25AugustSummary Points:- Society Pass recently closed on its acquisition of the Indonesian online travel site Nusatrip just as the Indonesian travel market is taking off with international travel up 525% year-to-date.- The deal was signed at an event on July 1st and just closed on August 15th with SoPa paying $620,000. Spartan Capital attended the closing event, visited Nusatrip's Jakarta offices, met with its founder and CEO, and met the president of the seller, PT Moratelindo in Jakarta. Moratelindo is a telecom juggernaut in Indonesia with strong government connections, but Nusatrip was not a core business. The two companies remain close, for example with Nusatrip utilizing Moratelindo data centres, so SoPa has gained a strong, valuable partner in the region.- Nusatrip is the third largest online travel agency in Indonesia, after Traveloka, which is independent, and Tiket.com, which is owned by the Indonesian conglomerate Djarum Group. According to recent press accounts, both have considered capital markets transactions in the last year which would value each in the billions of dollars. So Nusatrip could well be worth more than SoPa paid.- Indonesia is a democracy with the fourth largest population in the world. GDP growth is projected at around 5% this year and next and its rapidly growing young population is served by numerous ultra-low-cost carriers (ULCCs). In Spartan Capital experience, young emerging market adults tend to avail themselves of international travel as soon as they have some disposable income. The domestic market is huge as Indonesia is an archipelago consisting of 18,000 islands, so much travel is by air, not by car.- Nusatrip was EBITDA positive and growing rapidly before the pandemic with positive EBITDA from 2014, its second year in business, to 2018.- The Indonesian travel market is again booming with traffic up 92% over 2021 through the first six months of this year. Spartan Capital expects this rebound to continue as it began later than the US and European markets and traffic is only about half that of 2019, before the pandemic.- So, in Spartan Capital's view, SoPa has impeccable timing, buying a business that was loaded with debt incurred to cover operating costs during the pandemic but poised for rapid growth, and likely to return to profitability again soon.- Spartan Capital identifies six relatively straightforward synergies between Nusatrip and the other SoPa business units which should drive revenue across the ecosystem, furthering the founder's dream of creating the next billion-dollar Southeast Asia super-app.1. Expand Nusatrip to the other four countries where SoPa operates.2. Cross sell Gorilla travel eSIMs so Nusatrip international travel customers can use their phones abroad.3. Leverage Thoughtful Media social media/influencer marketing to market the service.4. Leflair, SoPa's luxury goods flash sale app, is launching in Indonesia later this year.5. Allow Nusatrip customers to earn points through the Society Pass loyalty program to purchase goods on any of the seven other SoPa businesses.6. Allow customers of the other seven SoPa businesses to use their loyalty points for travel booked through Nusatrip.About Society Pass IncAs a digitally-focused loyalty and data marketing ecosystem in Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand and with offices located in Angeles, Bangkok, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Jakarta, Manila, and Singapore, SoPa is an acquisition-focused e-commerce holding company operating 6 interconnected verticals (loyalty, lifestyle, F&B, telecoms, digital media, and travel), which seamlessly connects millions of registered consumers and hundreds of thousands of registered merchants/brands across multiple product and service categories throughout SEA.SoPa's business model focuses on analysing user data through its Society Pass loyalty platform and circulation of its universal loyalty points or Society Points.
