中国万天控股公布二零二二年度中期业绩

18 11 月, 2022
HONG KONG, Nov 18, 2022 - (亚太商讯 via SEAPRWire.com) - 中国万天控股有限公司（「中国万天控股」，连同其附属公司统称「集团」；股份代号：01854.HK）宣布其截至2022年9月30日止六个月（「报告期间」）的未经审核之中期业绩。随着2021年8月完成全面要约后，集团正式迈向了新的里程碑，先后于深圳市及中山市成立了业务运营点，以及于粤港澳大湾区（「大湾区」）设立总部并拓展大湾区业务。2022年是集团发展的新一章，集团着力在大湾区市场发展供应链、餐饮及环保科技三大重点业务。报告期间，中国万天控股开始拓展大湾区业务，并继续在香港从事采购、加工及食材供应，专注提供蔬菜及水果予香港餐饮服务经营商，向逾480家客户店铺供应食材，且向其客户提供逾1,300种食材。报告期间，集团现有业务的收入保持稳定，总收益按年上升0.74%至约68.7百万港元（2021年9月30日止六个月：约68.2百万港元）。报告期间，集团产品组合有所改善，毛利同比大幅上升约33.4%至约14.9百万港元（2021年9月30日止六个月：约11.2百万港元），而毛利率则由去年同期的约16.4%上升至约21.7%。然而，由于集团分别在深圳市及中山市成立总部和分公司，并积极拓展大湾区业务，营运开支有所增加，集团录得约8.1百万港元之净亏损, 其中包含3.8百万港元的购股权开支 （2021年9月30日止六个月：净亏损约1.4百万港元）。营运开支的投入有利于集团扩展业务，助力集团的长远发展。今年5月，集团在深圳市南山区设立湾区总部，标志着中国万天控股正式进军潜力庞大的大湾区市场。继设立湾区总部后，集团继续多管齐下加快大湾区业务的发展步伐，同时宣布重点发展供应链、餐饮及环保科技三大业务，积极打造大湾区绿色龙头品牌。另外，集团的中山分公司于今年6月正式启业，意味着集团将中山市作为珠海市、中山市和江门市的区域总部。集团亦相当看好中山市的发展前景，并视作三大重点业务的起始点，继而逐步将业务拓展至整个大湾区市场。供应链方面，集团积极发挥原有香港供应链业务优势，提升各环节效率，实现以最快时间、最低成本，安全高效地将海产、肉类和蔬菜等生鲜食材送达。同时，集团有意将在香港累积的成功经验复制至大湾区市场，并于今年11月宣布拟收购冠源有限公司旗下于国内从事生鲜供应链的服务商深圳丰源贸易发展有限公司（「深圳丰源」），此举标志着集团将供应链业务扩展至大湾区市场。深圳丰源在中国从事活牛、水果、蔬菜、海鲜及食材的贸易，主要从内蒙古获得活牛，并将活牛分配予大湾区的屠宰场，同时向大湾区的餐厅供应及提供水果、蔬菜及海鲜。鉴于深圳丰源在中国拥有成熟的业务网络和客户基础，收购项目将有助集团为客户提供全面的服务组合和扩阔客户基础，加快供应链业务发展步伐。餐饮方面，集团锐意把握大湾区餐饮市场的发展机遇，在大湾区其他城市进一步扩大餐厅网络，拓展大湾区餐饮业务版图。凭借上中下游全产业链优势，集团今年策略性地在中山市人流畅旺的中心地带开设多家主打生鲜食材的餐厅，逐步打造餐饮品牌「万天餐饮」。除了在今年6月开设的「香港码头」和「炙.HUTAU」外，集团将会在中山市增设两间餐厅，分别为主打生鲜食材的蒸气海鲜专门店「争气码头」和将空间与自然结合的咖啡厅「空想咖啡」，短时间内再在区内扩大「万天餐饮」业务版图。四家餐厅均以年轻消费者为主要客户群，主打的菜肴为热爱「打卡」、食得健康的食客而设。随着「万天餐饮」业务版图逐步扩大，集团积极提升品牌在大湾区的知名度，务求扩阔客户基础及市场占有率。环保科技方面，集团积极配合国家「现代农业科技及绿色环保」的发展理念，将农业科技与绿色环保进一步结合，利用天台闲置空间，在屋顶缔造良田，增加城市绿化面积，支持大湾区的可持续发展。另一方面，集团亦积极配合国家净零炭排的愿景，成立部门主力于大湾区的中、小学校和企业等推广现代农业及绿色教育，以推广绿色环保生活，让世界变得更绿。大湾区作为中国开放程度最高、经济活力最强的区域之一，在国家发展大局中具有重要战略地位，正迎来前所未有的发展机遇。集团管理层相信，大湾区业务将是集团最大的盈利增长点，长远可望为集团带来稳定持续的收入。中国万天控股锐意扩展业务以提升业务发展策略的多元性，深圳总部的成立仅是集团迈向大湾区战略的第一步，后续集团将着眼于供应链、餐饮及环保科技三大业务之间的协同效应，以创造独特优势应对挑战，奠定强大基础。展望未来，凭借其丰富的商业运营管理经验及于中国建立的完善业务网络，集团将持续审阅潜在的业务机遇，并坚守「以人为本、求真务实、开拓创新、诚信担当」的经营理念，从种植源头，到食材供应链及餐饮等业务，构建一条龙式的食品产业链体系，致力成为中国领先的美好生活服务商及大湾区绿色龙头的企业品牌。关于中国万天控股有限公司中国万天控股有限公司（01854.HK）为一间投资控股有限公司，集团主要从事采购、加工及供应食材，专为香港餐饮服务经营商提供蔬菜及水果等业务。集团提供逾1,300种食材给逾480家客户。2022年5月，中国万天控股在深圳设立大湾区总部，标志着集团正式进军潜力庞大的大湾区市场，将发展供应链、餐饮及环保科技三大重点业务，积极打造大湾区绿色龙头品牌，为客户提供新鲜健康食品，致力成为中国领先的美好生活服务商。有关更多资料，请浏览：chinawantian.etnet.com.hk Copyright 2022 亚太商讯.

CRO业务收入可观，模式动物新应用或成为百奥赛图业务增长新动能

17 11 月, 2022
HONG KONG, Nov 17, 2022 - (亚太商讯 via SEAPRWire.com) - 近年来，中国创新药行业受到各级政府的高度重视和国家产业政策的重点支持，进入发展快车道，临床前研究服务市场亦获得稳步增长，根据弗若斯特沙利文报告，2030年全球临床前研究服务市场规模预计将达约706亿美元。其中，尽管我国模式动物市场尚处于发展早期，市场规模较小，但增速较高，预计2019年至2024年的年均复合增速达30%，远高于全球水平。作为生物制药及临床前研究服务创收公司，百奥赛图(北京)医药科技股份有限公司（「百奥赛图」或「公司」；股份代码：02315.HK）在国内市场稳健增长的同时，积极拓展国际化业务，打造公司业务发展新增长极。成长路线赋能业绩增长 综合竞争实力雄厚百奥赛图是少有的具有原创技术平台的国际性生物技术公司，依托于三大基因编辑技术，自主开发了2500+创新动物/细胞模型，为全球药企客户提供创新模式动物及临床前药理药效等CRO服务。据了解，百奥赛图的动物模型均为基因编辑动物模型，具有高附加价值，可为新药评估提供有力的工具。与此同时，依托自主研发的全人抗体RenMice平台及规模化体内抗体筛选-「千鼠万抗」计划，百奥赛图不断产出有潜力的抗体分子，及时满足全球新靶点药物的研发需求，并在不同阶段将众多抗体分子与国内外药企达成合作开发/分子授权转让，占据业务先机，巩固公司综合核心竞争力。藉此，百奥赛图临床前CRO及抗体开发业务收入持续攀升，增长率和毛利率可观。数据显示，2021年及2022年上半年，公司总收入分别为人民币（下同）3.55亿元和2.29亿元，其中临床前药理药效评估业务收入分别为1.05亿元和0.65亿元；模式动物销售收入分别为1.07亿元和0.73亿元。2022上半年，百奥赛图临床前整体业务收入1.68亿元，同比大幅增长50%，毛利率亦维持在约70%的高毛利率水平。靶点人源化小鼠应用拓展至安全性评价领域 或迎来井喷式增长药物研发最艰难的步骤在于如何使其尽快通过药物评价，其中药物安全性评价便占据约50%的份额。非人灵长类动物一直是安全性评价的重要模型，但自全球新冠疫情爆发以来，猴子资源紧缺，靶点人源化小鼠以其独特优势，可作为合适的替代模型，有潜力在药物安全性评价领域占据一席之地。据悉，靶点人源化小鼠具有靶点基因生理学功能、繁殖周期短、研究成本较低等优势。目前，百奥赛图自主研发的靶点人源化小鼠已助力多家药企基于小鼠的长毒、生殖毒性等安全性评价数据获批IND，包括8款药物获得NMPA IND临床批件，3款药物获得FDA IND临床批件，这之中还有2款为中美双报产品。安全性评价领域的应用拓展为公司动物模型销售的快速增长提供了契机，未来或成为增长爆发点。在创新药行业发展大趋势下，国内创新药企开始走向海外，而百奥赛图此前于海外已早有布局。据悉，百奥赛图是国内率先将动物模型反向销售欧美的公司，现已同全球TOP10中的9家建立合作伙伴关系，并与信达生物、恒瑞医药、君实生物等国内大部分药企和生物技术企业合作。2022年上半年，百奥赛图临床前CRO及抗体开发总体业务海外销售收入占比高达38.46%，同比增长66%。2022年9月1日，百奥赛图成功登陆港交所主板，借力资本市场成就了公司发展的新里程碑。日前，「中国再生元」的框架搭建已完成，未来，百奥赛图将继续以「成为全球新药发源地」为愿景，在过硬的综合实力加持下，持续产出极具潜力的产品和服务，以更加优异的成绩回馈股东、员工和社会。（来源：彭博终端机） Copyright 2022 亚太商讯.

HONG KONG, Nov 16, 2022 - (亚太商讯 via SEAPRWire.com) - 近月复星国际(HKEX: 00656)在持续进行一系列「减肥」动作，引起市场关注。11月6日晚间，复星国际旗下豫园股份发布公告称，拟通过大宗交易的方式，出售招金矿业6.54亿股股份给紫金矿业全资子公司金山国际矿业，占招金矿业总股份的20.00%，交易总价款为43.95亿港元。计及9月豫园股份曾于二级市场减持招金矿业后，豫园股份对招金矿业股权比例已降至1.26%。10月19日，复星宣布将所持南京南钢钢铁联合有限公司的60%股份作价不超过160亿(人民币，下同)出售给同在江苏省的沙钢集团。加快自身战略转型无论是南钢联还是招金矿业，复星都持有一段时间，而此次接连出售两家公司，总回笼资金高达200亿元。从投资收益角度来看，算上过往20年两家企业的分红规模，复星此刻的退出不可谓不成功。但复星近期的资产出售和减持，显然不能用简单的投资逻辑来解释。复星的系列动作是其更有效管控债务，更好地夯实资金安全垫的举措。通过加快自身战略转型，果断出手「手起刀落」，复星可更聚焦「家庭消费」产业主赛道。对于复星近期的「减肥」动作，市场明显是看好的。多家投行包括大摩、花旗、高盛等均发表报告力挺复星国际并重申「买入」评级，大行普遍预计复星对非核心资产的处置计划，可降低公司资产负债率、缓解流动性担忧，也可使复星的资产组合变得更为简单，更能专注于核心领域。例如花旗便指出，复星在经历了多次并购、分拆和非核心资产处置之后，复星的业务更多元，并已发展成为轻资产的综合企业，可紧抓中国X世代的高消费潜力。该行更指出，南钢的成功出售，是复星在合适的价格和时机做出的正确举措，也可让复星能够将其资源重新部署到更好的用途上复星的舍与得致多赢结果出售南钢联给沙钢的消息一传出，沙钢当日涨停，这次40亿元接手招金矿业后，紫金矿业也一度涨停。有知情人士透露，这次复星出售南钢联项目，交易中仅参与竞标的意向买方就有近20家，复星优先选择有助于企业长远发展的合作伙伴，希望通过交易达成多赢结果。而紫金矿业也曾公开表示，在成为招金矿业第二大股东后，可充分发挥双方优势，有助于一步巩固和提升公司在全球黄金行业的地位。对复星来说，其主动减肥健体，可将多年深耕的健康、快乐、富足业务板块持续做大做强，比如可将资源更聚焦于复星医药的创新药研发、豫园大片区的开发、舍得酒的发展等。从长远来看，中国的居民消费和内需市场还有很大的增长空间，复星只有聚焦主业，以实际行动扎根实体经济，才能顺利地穿越经济周期。最近复星旗下的复星医药、豫园股份、南钢股份、海南矿业四家上市公司在上交所举行2022年三季度业绩联合说明会。复星国际董事长郭广昌以视频方式参加说明会时表示，科技创新和高水平对外开放是构建新发展格局的重要组成部分。把握新的发展机遇，「未来复星将聚焦主业，加强创新，做好全球化。」 Copyright 2022 亚太商讯.

Healthcare and Medical Leaders Gather to Shape the Future of Global Health

11 11 月, 2022
HONG KONG, Nov 11, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - New research and innovations in Hong Kong and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) are injecting new momentum and creating new opportunities for the regional and global healthcare and medical sectors, as highlighted in the two-day Asia Summit on Global Health (ASGH). The second ASGH and the physical element of the 13th edition of the HKTDC Hong Kong International Healthcare Fair concluded successfully today.The second Asia Summit on Global Health, co-organised by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government and HKTDC, and the physical part of the 13th HKTDC Hong Kong International Medical and Healthcare Fair conclude successfully today.Kenneth Tsang, CEO of Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong and Kyle Wong, PanopticAI CEO & Cofounder (R) signed a MOU on digital healthcare solution improvement on the first day of the Summit, witnessed by Patrick Lau, HKTDC Deputy Executive Director (L).As the flagship events of the first International Healthcare Week initiated by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the summit and fair attracted close to 30,000 online and physical participants from 68 countries and regions. More than 280 one-on-one Deal Flow Matchmaking sessions and 600 business meetings have also been arranged to assist participants in seizing business possibilities. Riding on this year's success, the HKTDC plans to expand International Healthcare Week in May 2023. In addition to forums and exhibitions, it plans to include more healthcare and medical-related activities to strengthen Hong Kong's position as a leading hub in this globally important industry.Dr Peter K N Lam, Chairman of the HKTDC, said, "The importance of the medical and healthcare sector to the global economy cannot be overstated, especially during the past three years. As markets across the world gradually recover from the fallout of the pandemic, the health crisis needs to be tackled in tandem. This can only be achieved through collaboration. The pandemic knows no borders and collaboration should not either. It is vital that diverse sectors and players come together and share insights and practical solutions to ensure better efficiency and sustainability in healthcare for the world."Shaping the Future of Global HealthThe ASGH is co-organised by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and the HKTDC to help the industry build connections, create business opportunities and highlight the advantages of Hong Kong's healthcare and medical industries in scientific research, investment and financing as well as its trading platforms.The Summit featured more than 80 speakers, including healthcare officials and members from international organisations, scientists and medical experts, investors, business leaders, financial specialists and service providers. They shared their insights on a wide range of topics, ranging from healthcare development in Mainland China, the challenges of Ebola and COVID-19, the impact of GBA's innovation and the role of Hong Kong as both a fundraising and innovation hub. Participants also were given updates about new trends, such as the application of robotics and ethics of artificial intelligence (AI), ESG in healthcare and global challenge of mental health. At the fireside chat on the first day of the summit, Prof Peter Piot, Chief Scientific Advisor Epidemics and Special Advisor to the President of the European Commission and co-discoverer of the Ebola virus in 1976, shared his views on the challenges in creating a more sustainable future for global health and Asia's contribution to global health in the years to come.Prof Piot said: "COVID has definitely been a wake-up call to the importance of developing a sustainable and equitable healthcare system. The reality is that we are very likely entering an era of pandemics, and we must be better prepared. We must also assist the least developed countries, such as [those in] Africa and Southeast Asia, in manufacturing vaccines and other essential medications and developing the infrastructure they need to be ready for the next pandemic. I see this as a collective effort that would benefit the whole world; and everyone, including governments, businesses, civil society and individuals, should contribute in their own way."Bring New Perspectives to Universal IssuesOn the first day of the Summit, Secretary for Health Prof Lo Chung-mau remarked during the panel discussion titled "The Next Development of China's Healthcare Sector" that China had made remarkable progress in healthcare, especially in transforming treatment-oriented and hospital-based services to community-based services. Dr Donald Li, Chairman of the Elderly Commission who chaired the panel, said the high demand for healthcare services in the GBA has created many new opportunities for business and healthcare professionals.Addressing the audience of a panel discussion titled "How Innovation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Area Reshapes Global Healthcare", speakers shared that the GBA, Shenzhen in particular, would be a new base for innovation and research amid the boom of university lab research in the city.Prof Michael Marmot, Director of the Institute of Health Equity of Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at University College London, pointed out at the thematic session titled "Adding Health to ESG: How Can Businesses Impact Health Equity?" that contribution of business and industry to healthcare was crucial. "This is because they have the capacity to improve the health and well-being of employees and customers through goods and services, whilst also making a positive impact on the communities they serve."Deal Flow Matchmarking to Facilitate Exchange and CollaborationThe Deal Flow Matchmaking on the first day connected funders from around the world with projects encompassing life sciences, medical apparatus and medicine, digital health, community health and more, with a total of 280 one-on-one meetings scheduled, of which 156 were successfully held on-site.The hybrid InnoHealth Showcase and exhibition area featured more than 180 projects and solutions from healthcare-related innovative technology enterprises, connecting them with investors around the world as well as potential business partners. A number of biotechnology and healthcare start-ups also took advantage of the Business of Healthcare Advisory Zone, receiving a full range of professional advice from investors and industry experts.PanopticAI, one of the winners of HKTDC's Start-up Express 2021, was one example of successful business matching at the Summit. The company uses patented AI and algorithm to instantly obtain health data, such as heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure and stress index of subjects through ordinary lenses. They attended ASGH in the hope to expand to the GBA and Southeast Asia. With the support of the HKTDC, PanopticAI signed an MOU with Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong on the first day of the Summit to further apply its research results in Hong Kong hospitals to help more people in needed.Dr Yuanyuan Yu, Assistant Professor at the School of Chinese Medicine of Hong Kong Baptist University commended the Summit's vibrant atmosphere and she was impressed by the synergy International Healthcare Week provided. The university delegation was able to meet with a lot of potential investors, business partners and academia collaborators and they anticipate further project discussions.Medical Fair Provides One-stop Platform for Industry Buyers and ProfessionalsThe 13th Hong Kong International Medical and Healthcare Fair adopted the HKTDC's new EXHIBITION+ hybrid model. Its three-day physical exhibition came to a successful close today, while the Click2Match platform that provides smart business matching to help build connections between exhibitors, buyers and industry professionals worldwide will remain active until 18 November.The fair brought together more than 300 exhibitors from different countries and regions to feature a range of the latest medical technologies and equipment, healthcare and beauty products, healthcare solutions and related services, drawing many buyers and industry professionals to source both on-site and online.Kenny Lam, Sales Manager of SWS Limited, a local exhibitor that offers textile management solutions for smart hospitals, said the Medical Fair provided a valuable platform for the company to showcase its automated uniform dispensing unit and respond to buyers' enquiries. He added: "Government officials and buyers from public and private hospitals are very interested in this system after watching our on-site demonstrations. Their feedback is overwhelming!" Additionally, they said they would support this kind of locally invented systems.Ketkanok Sasibavronyod, Senior Business Development Manager of Thailand's leading medical device distributor BJC Healthcare Company Limited, travelled to Hong Kong for the Medical Fair to source telemedicine solutions, wearables for health monitoring, medical equipment and elderly care products. She stated: "HKTDC's Click2Match smart business matching service is very useful. Thanks to it, I found and scheduled to meet in-person with two potential suppliers of elderly care equipment, VR training solutions for elderly rehabilitation and VR therapy solutions. The fair is a good place for me to see new trends in medical equipment too!"The Medical Fair is co-organised by the Hong Kong Medical and Healthcare Device Industries Association (HKMHDIA). During the show, more than 10 content-rich events were held, including the highlighted HKMHDIA MedTech Forum 2022, with industry professionals keen to participate.

TJI Announces FY2023 Interim Results, Revenue Up 6.8% to HK$1,261.7 million despite Market Headwinds ACN Newswire

TJI Announces FY2023 Interim Results, Revenue Up 6.8% to HK$1,261.7 million despite Market Headwinds

11 11 月, 2022
HONG KONG, Nov 11, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Tam Jai International Co. Limited ("TJI" or the "Company", and together with its subsidiaries, the "Group"; HKEX stock code: 2217), a leading and renowned mixian-specialised fast-casual restaurant chain, today announced its interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2022 ("1H2023" or the "Period"). Revenue of the Group recorded a stable growth of 6.8% to HK$1,261.7 million despite the strong headwinds brought about by COVID-19-related restrictions and a weaker global economy. HighlightsAssuring results in 1H2023-- Revenue of the Group recorded a stable growth of 6.8% to HK$1,261.7 million despite the strong headwinds brought about by COVID-19-related restrictions and a weaker global economy. -- Operating profit of restaurant operations recorded HK$215.5 million, with the operating profit margin at 17.1%.-- Profit for the Period was HK$82.8 million. Hong Kong business maintained a steady profit margin, while revenue of Mainland China and overseas markets were increasing. Operating profit margin is expected to stabilise in 2H2023 with the gradual recovery quarter from quarter by maintaining high operational efficiency.Development remained on-track-- As at 30 September 2022, there were 208 self-owned restaurants in operation across Hong Kong, Mainland China, Singapore, and Japan, a net increase of 51 restaurants as compared to 30 September 2021.-- The restaurant network expansion has been on track, and the Group is well-equipped with the infrastructure and talents to execute the development plan in accordance with the listing mandate.-- In 2H2023, the growth momentum is expected to continue. The Group keeps long-term growth in mind while remaining prudent to keep its business profitable and winning through stability.The increase in revenue was mainly driven by the Group's restaurant network expansion, with Hong Kong being the main revenue contributor. Profit for the Period was HK$82.8 million (1H2022: HK$137.9 million). Basic earnings per share were HK6.2 cents in 1H2023 (1H2022: HK13.8 cents).Steady Hong Kong Business in Challenging TimesThe 5th wave of the COVID-19 pandemic had a lingering effect in Hong Kong during the Period. Together with the adverse market sentiment due to the global and local economic downturn, the overall consumption sentiment had deteriorated, which had hindered the recovery pace of the overall retail consumption and food and beverage (F&B) industry in Hong Kong. This softened the Group's same-store revenue. However, with the gradual recovery quarter from quarter, the Group maintained a steady pace of growth in opening new restaurants, and its revenue target has been met. Hong Kong business continued to deliver a stable profit despite the pressure of global inflation.Bumpy Overseas and Mainland China Markets DevelopmentDespite the solid growth of the Group's Singapore business, negative growth was recorded in the Mainland China and overseas markets. The business in Mainland China, in respect of which high growth potential was expected, was heavily restrained by COVID-19 related policies, such as cities or district lockdowns and the policies of daily mandatory PCR tests that had affected the Group's performance. In Japan, the Group incurred extra market entry expenses due to the delay of the opening of 2 restaurants, and the business was hit by the surge of COVID-19 cases during the second quarter. The Group has adjusted down its pace of development in Mainland China and Japan while maintaining the momentum of growth for long term. The Group has high hopes on potential in Mainland China and overseas markets, with the infrastructure and foundation established, including branding and marketing, talent recruitment, and staff training, the Group is well equipped for the growth in future. Cautious and Strategic DevelopmentThe Group has been expanding its restaurant network with caution and clearly defined strategic goals, aiming to achieve long-term growth while keeping its business profitable.During 1H2023, the Group opened 19 new restaurants in Hong Kong, 9 in Mainland China, 5 in Singapore, and 2 in Japan, respectively, bringing the total number of restaurants to 208 as at 30 September 2022, meeting the restaurant network expansion targets in Hong Kong. Maintaining High Cost-efficiency and ProductivityThe Group was able to largely mitigate the impact of the recent wave of inflation with flexibility and innovation by implementing various measures, including direct sourcing and ingredients adaptations, partnering with selected original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") suppliers, and sourcing ingredients substitution of same or better quality and at a lower cost. These measures helped minimise logistics hiccups and costs and mitigated the risk of supply chain disruption.Meanwhile, the Group managed to maintain a stable staff cost percentage while maintaining restaurant number growth and a higher number of sick days with employees contracted COVID-19. The pressure was lightened through the Group's smart rostering system, which improves cost efficiency in staff management.ProspectsEver since the start of the pandemic, TJI has been dedicating itself to the optimisation of its business processes, cost controls, and supply chain management while pushing forward its commitment to restaurant network expansion. Despite all the challenges arising from the pandemic and global economic downturn, the Group is well-positioned for steady growth and recovery through agile management, prudent restaurant network expansion, and impactful brand-building.In Hong Kong, the Group's profit margin is expected to stabilise with the implementation of various cost-control measures and the improvement of restaurant-level operation. Sales has picked up quarter-on-quarter during the Period, and the growth momentum is expected to continue well into 2H2023, along with the gradual easing of social distancing policies.The Group's encouraging performance in Singapore during the Period has demonstrated the viability of its operation model in the overseas markets. With the infrastructure and foundation that the Group has established, including branding and marketing, talent recruitment, and staff training, it is highly optimistic about the potential in Mainland China and overseas markets and anticipates resilient growth in the future when the markets recover.Mr. Daren Lau, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TJI, said, "We have persisted through the severe test on the resilience of our business, and yet grasped the opportunities that can maximise our potential for success. Looking forward, we believe that all the adversities shall pass, and the solid foundations we have laid shall elevate us to new height."About Tam Jai International Co. Limited (HKEX: 2217)TJI has been listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (stock code: 02217.HK) since October 2021. It is one of the largest and most popular fast casual resturant chains and the No.1 Asian noodle specialty restaurant operator in Hong Kong.* It primarily operates the TamJai Yunnan Mixian and TamJai SamGor Mixian brands, with operations in Hong Kong, Mainland China, Singapore and Japan.

The 13th International Medical and Healthcare Fair from 9 to 11 November features more than 300 exhibitors showcasing their latest products and developments and brings together industry professionals, institutions and the research and development community. The two concurrent events are catered towards both the upstream and downstream healthcare industries and together create synergies and opportunities for medical and healthcare industry professionals as well as businesses and investors.As healthcare and the life sciences grow in importance globally, ASGH has brought together more than 80 speakers, including global business leaders and healthcare investors, science and medical experts, healthcare officials, financial specialists and professional service providers to discuss the latest trends and developments in the healthcare and medical fields. Topics covered include business opportunities and challenges for the global healthcare industry, Asia's transformational landscape in healthcare, Hong Kong's strengths in innovation and fundraising for global health as well as how the city facilitates global collaboration through partnerships to tap the opportunities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) and beyond.John Lee, Hong Kong SAR (HKSAR) Chief Executive, spoke at the summit's opening ceremony this morning, along with Margaret Fong, Executive Director of the HKTDC, Zsuzsanna Jakab, Deputy Director-General of World Health Organization (WHO); and Cao Xuetao, Vice-Minister of the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China. In her welcome remarks, Margaret Fong said: "The pandemic catalysed collaboration. We need to continue this momentum to pave the way to new prospects. These prospects can be found in Asia, the world's fastest-growing healthcare market. Hong Kong as a global financial, business and investment hub and gateway to Mainland China and Asia markets is the ideal base for international companies to seize new opportunities. It is the place to do business and the perfect location for International Healthcare Week."Addressing ASGH participants at the opening session, John Lee said: "Since taking office in July, my team and I have made substantive progress in lifting restrictions, while containing the number of confirmed cases and protecting the healthcare system and our high-risk population. We are working on specific and dedicated plans to ensure major events and economic activities can be held smoothly, to open up Hong Kong - to bring a world of business back to Hong Kong - as quickly, and as safely, as we can. This Summit, as well as last week's Global Financial Leaders' Investment Summit and Fintech Week, are welcome examples."Zsuzsanna Jakab added: "As COVID-19 has made clear, health, people's lives and the broader well-being of society are inextricably linked. Yet, COVID-19 has also exposed glaring global inequities. We have an opportunity, indeed an obligation, to learn from this pandemic and accelerate progress towards ensuring that more people benefit from universal health coverage, are protected from health emergencies and enjoy better health and well-being. The WHO will help countries connect and collaborate so that they can work as one team. We will make the greatest impact by working together."Cao Xuetao stated: "The National Health Commission will be actively supporting Hong Kong in three key areas: persevering in its control of the pandemic; strengthening Hong Kong's medical exchange and integration with the rest of the country; and giving full play to Hong Kong's healthcare talent and resources, which would allow it to participate in important national initiatives and make greater contributions to the work involved in connecting the country to the world and achieving the health goals of the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development."Industry leaders share insights on latest healthcare and medical developmentsTo address the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and help prepare for future healthcare, economic and environmental challenges, this morning's ASGH plenary session "Charting a New Course in Healthcare through Collaboration" invited heavyweight speakers, including Ulrich Betz, Senior Vice President Innovation at Merck; Ruilin Song, Executive President of the China Pharmaceutical Innovation and Research Development Association; Luhan Yang, Co-Founder and CEO of Qihan Biotechnology; and Alex Zhavoronkov, Founder and CEO of Insilico Medicine.
