The accumulated unfinished contract values of approximately HK$1.54 billion marked a historic record of doubling from year on year and compared to the general period before the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2018, it was a 50% increase. These are unprecedented results in history.Thanks to the confidence of major Hong Kong property developers in the properties industry and their support of the Group, Ching Lee has been awarded several high-quality superstructure construction projects, covering traditional luxury residential areas such as Prince Edward Road West in Ho Man Tin, the Happy Valley district, the Central district and the mid-levels of Hong Kong Island, etc. Highlights of the reconstruction include developing a 25-storey boutique-style building for 69 residential units, as well as participating in the renovation of the hotel and rebuilding it into a residence for rental purposes.

The operation of the construction industry has been adversely affected by the problems of delaying transportation and the price rise of raw materials. Despite the difficulties, Ching Lee did not retreat, but also swam upstream and achieved a great year. In recent years, Ching Lee has seized opportunities to invest in property markets including the success of the investment in the AVA228 residential project of Sham Shui Po in 2018 and the acquisition of the commercial and residential project in To Kwa Wan this year with invested capital of HK$24 million, accounting for 20% of the total investment. Ching Lee has gradually and successfully transitioned from being a contractor to a developer through its experience and expertise in the construction industry.Commented by the Group Chairman Mr. Ng Choi Wah who is a developer and a contractor, "I am confident to be able to run the whole process in the property industry from construction to sales." Mr. Ng also expressed optimism about the overall market demand and the current business situation.

IBI Group公布二零二二财年全年业绩 面对市场挑战展现强韧抗逆力

HONG KONG, Jun 30, 2022 - (亚太商讯 via SEAPRWire.com) - IBI Group Holdings Limited (「IBI」或「公司」,及其附属公司统称为「集团」;股份代号:1547)为一家专注于投资在建筑环境相关业务的上市控股公司,今日公布截至二零二二年三月三十一日止财政年度(「二零二二财年」)之业绩。于回顾年内,集团的收益录得约405.9百万港元(二零二一财年:约556.7百万港元),毛利约为68.0百万港元(二零二一财年:79.4百万港元),公司拥有人应占溢利约为27.0百万港元,而上一财政年度约为54.4百万港元(当中包括集团策略投资分部的一次性溢利约43.6百万港元)。每股基本及摊薄盈利为3.4港仙(二零二一财年:6.8港仙)。集团保持强劲的财务状况,截至二零二二年三月三十一日止之现金及现金等价物达约为141.6百万港元(二零二一财年:87.1百万港元),并无银行借款。董事会建议派发截至二零二二年三月三十一日止年度之末期股息每股1.0港仙(二零二一财年:4.0港仙)。业务回顾1. 承建IBI在香港及澳门提供世界级的室内装修及楼宇翻新服务,涵盖两大类项目,分别为装修项目以及改建和加建项目。基于良好声誉及彪炳往绩,即使在Covid-19疫情的持续影响下,公司的香港部门于二零二二财年依旧忙碌,年内完成11个装修项目并获授14个项目。于回顾年内,集团录得来自承建分部的收益约403.9百万港元(二零二一财年:511.0百万港元),分部毛利激增91.0%至约67.4百万港元。2. Building solutions于二零二零年四月,IBI成立附属公司Building Solutions Limited(「BSL」),提供可提升建筑环境表现及福祉的产品及服务,以为用者提供现代、健康及高性能的空间。回顾年内,BSL一直努力发展业务及争取订单。于营运的第二年,其市场渗透率明显大幅上升,销售数据录得改善。新获得分销权的尖端照明产品广受好评,这将反映在下一个财政年度的销售数据之中。于二零二二财年,BSL录得分部亏损约2.7百万港元。3. 策略投资于本财政年度,集团部分剥离其早期股票投资,该等投资于上一个报告期间产生显著回报。此外,集团的房地产相关投资交易亦取得巨大的早期成功。于二零二二财年后期,集团于日本北海道取得紧邻规划中的新干线(高速铁路线)未来站台的建设用地,现正与当地发展专家合作,以确定如何有效利用该土地以及其发展时机。展望未来,集团将继续寻求潜在投资机会。于财务报告期后,集团收购位于爱尔兰都柏林市中心的大楼Adelaide Chambers。该投资是一座约20,000平方英尺商业办公空间的旧式建筑,极具升值潜力,待进行大楼升级及租赁改善等升级项目后,可望增加资产的整体价值,并为集团带来额外利润。展望未来香港现时已解除疫情期间实施的诸多限制,生活正迅速回归正常。集团相信,待严格的检疫限制进一步减少,市场环境逐步稳定下来,商业活动将恢复正常,届时香港将重拾其国际地位。展望未来,集团相信分配予投资的资本将于下一个财政年度悉数归属。IBI主席兼行政总裁Neil Howard先生表示:「尽管COVID-19大流行带来前所未有的挑战,但我们依然坚定地推动增长和投资策略。IBI对来年充满期盼,相信随着我们慢慢进入疫情后期,营商环境将不断改善。得益于策略业务决定,IBI继续表现稳定,在如此艰难的时刻能够留住全体员工,实在让我们感到十分自豪。此外,我们很高兴看到附属公司,尤其是BSL的增长,并期待公司从初创踏入发展阶段后,财务状况将显著录得改善。二零二二财年的业绩证明我们有能力提供综合创新解决方案,我们期待未来能为股东带来更强劲的业绩,创造更多长远价值。」关于IBI Group Holdings Limited(股份代号︰1547)IBI Group Holdings Limited 为香港主板上市控股公司,专注于建筑环境方面的投资。集团的主要投资领域包括建筑和装修承建、提供创新和节能照明及空气质量检测产品的企业,以及寻找房地产开发和其他建筑环境的投资机会。集团以提供多项专业及优质的产品、服务和客户体验为宗旨,为客户提供具有创新、可持续性、具环境敏感性和影响力的体验。有关IBI Group Holdings Limited的详情,请浏览网站:https://ibighl.com/.

中播︰智能城市、车联网驱动的航天科技年代受益者

HONG KONG, Jun 27, 2022 - (亚太商讯 via SEAPRWire.com) - 虽然受到疫情持续的影响,但不少发达及新兴国家并没有因此减少在科技领域的投资,反而在疫情下更深深体会到科技的巨大动能是提升国家抗逆力的关键。根据IDC发布的《全球智能城市支出指南》(IDC Worldwide Smart Cities Spending Guide, 2020V1),全球智能城市相关支出规模的增速虽因新冠疫情的影响而放缓,但预计中长期将恢复并保持15%以上的增长态势。2020年,全球智慧城市市场相关投资总额达到1,144亿美元,同比增长11.1%,但低于2019年12月发布的18.9%增长预测。不过,IDC 预计,全球智慧城市支出将在2020-2024年的预测期间内实现14.6%的复合年增长率(CAGR)。换言之,2022年至2024年的全球智慧城市支出或有望超过16%。至2020年,中国市场支出规模已达到259亿美元,较2019年同比增长12.7%,高于全球平均水平,为仅次于美国的第二大智能城市项目投资国家。据了解,中国市场的三大热点投资项目依次为可持续基础设施、数据驱动治理以及数字化管理。在2020-2024年的预测期间内,三者支出总额将持续超出整体智慧城市投资的一半。智慧城市的建设和发展为新兴技术提供了大量的应用场景,这为技术供货商带来了极大的发展空间。至2020年,中国市场支出金额占比前三的应用场景依次为智能电网(Smart Grids)、固定智慧视频安防(Fixed Video Camera)、联网后台系统(Connected Back Office),三个应用场景的投资规模占比超过支出总额的40%。随着市场愈发成熟,这三项主流应用场景的支出占比会有所降低。与此同时,智慧城市相关技术的发展,用例呈现多样化趋势,增长迅速的新场景的影响力将会逐渐扩大。IDC预计,在2020-2024年的预测期间内,增长最快的应用场景依次为开放数据(Open Data)、数字孪生(Digital Twin)、下一代紧急事件PSAP(Next-Gen Emergency PSAPs)。巨大的智能城市建设驱动航天信息卫星市场的爆发基于智能城市建设的投资规模巨大,应用场景多元化,对数据传输能力的需求尤其庞大,因此6G网络基建将成为关键设施。而6G网络的组成,主要包括了5G地面网络及航天卫星。5G地面网络固然投资庞大,但航天卫星的建设对6G网络的构建将更为关键。这亦是SpaceX等新兴卫星公司日益成为全球投资者的竉儿的原因。航天卫星分为低轨卫星、中轨卫星及同步轨位卫星(高轨卫星)。前者距离地球大约2,000公里,而高轨卫星则在地球3.6万公里以外。工研院(IEK)产科国际所指出,2020年共有3,372颗人造卫星围绕在地球外,麦肯锡(Mckinsey)预测在最理想的产业发展情况下,2030年将有「5万颗」卫星在太空。其中,接近77%的航天卫星将为低轨卫星。正因如此,全球低轨卫星的设计、制造及发射市场将迎来巨大的发展空间。不过,论价值,高轨卫星因具有稀缺性及广泛地球覆盖面,将具有极大的升值潜力。在中港股市中,唯一拥有高轨卫星 – 亚洲之星资产的上市公司中播(471.HK),近日宣布分别与三家英美公司 Novocomms Limited、Xingtera Inc 及 Vivipari Technology Limited 共同签署了一份谅解备忘录,组建合资公司,以汇聚各方资源,强化和伸延中播正持续开发的卫星-5G 数据传输平台至智能城市服务应用场景,提供全方位物联网及车联网解决方案及项目经营,面向中国和东盟地区政府和企业客户,为城市增强数字基础设施、无线和移动网络的无缝覆盖和媒体信息传输,从而全面促进城市的管理效率、公共信息传播、提升政府服务质量和公民便利,令到环境、社会、经济和投资方面变得更「智能」和有效益。 新一代卫星互联网「数据即服务」运营商据了解,中播的三家企业伙伴分别来自英美两地。Novocomms Limited位于英国曼彻斯特,专门从事新型高端无线电天线的技术设计和开发,包括毫米级的电波频率波,并拥有世界其中最领先的移动卫星通信和太赫兹(Terahertz)传感器技术。Xingtera Inc. 则位于美国加州硅谷,专门从事物联网产品应用、解决方案和系统开发,集成和运营,并且是美国高通公司特别指定的系统和解决方案集成商与战略伙伴,通过高通的「智能城市加速器程序」提供全方位智能城市解决方案,Xingtera也是高通科技生态系统的关键 5G PN 合作伙伴。英国公司Vivipari Technology Limited专门从事无线通信服务,为企业提供基于 5G / LTE / Wi-Fi 和卫星的无线接受解决方案,并且是 NVC 在亚洲专门指定的天线产品和技术分销商。合资公司成立后,将汇聚各方技术、资源及能力,涵盖卫星移动数据广播、通信、5G、遥感探测监控、人工智能、大数据分析、数字多媒体运营、物联网系统集成及项目管理等领域,具雄厚的实力为亚洲区域和地方政府提供全方位、综合性智能城市数字化解决方案和项目管理,以铺垫无处不在、全民普及、成本低廉的数字化基础设施和服务平台,包括数字媒体娱乐、公共信息传播、应急广播、智能交通和物流管理,及智能车联网相关的信息娱乐。 预期随着合资公司的成立,中播将大幅度提升其在应用整合、服务运营、市场开发的综合力量,使平台优势伸延及复制至多个智能城市新应用场景,助力其成为新一代卫星互联网「数据即服务」运营商,料将大大提升中播的盈利前景。同时,中播亦已计划进行一系列并购,为后续的平台入市做好部署。公司目前已完成收购注入「亚洲之星」卫星服务平台系统,结合公司已有的卫星-5G 融合传输技术,以及人工智能和大数据技术方案平台,将打造其成为亚洲最大智能移动数据分发网络商,以全覆盖,大容量和免用户流量资费的优势,为亚洲区(包括中国和东盟)新能源智能车提供多元化、全天候和低消费的车联网信息娱乐和数据服务。 Copyright 2022 亚太商讯.
