(“China BlueChem” or the “Company”, stock code: 3983), China’s largest chemical fertilizer central enterprise in both production capacity and production volume, has announced its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2024. The Company achieved revenue of RMB6.007 billion and net profit attributable to owners of the Company of RMB687 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024. The business performance was basically similar to that in the first half of 2023. However, in 2023, a one-off profit was realized from the disposal of 67% equity interest in a subsidiary for strategic reasons, which significantly drove the Company's profit growth in the first half of 2023.Mr. HOU Xiaofeng, CEO and President of China BlueChem said, “Despite the overhaul of multiple plants, the Company still performed well in achieving its target plans for the first half of 2024. During the period, the Company continued to strengthen safety production management and the overall safety situation remained stable. It actively expanded the market and increased efficiency, and continuously promoted management that strives for excellence which resulted in steadily improved governance efficiency. In addition, the Company has consistently adhered to a philosophy of green and sustainable development. Its methanol plant has been awarded the honorary title of “Energy Efficiency Leader” by the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation for 13 consecutive years, and its synthetic ammonia plant has been awarded the honorary title of “Water Efficiency Leader” by the China Nitrogen Fertiliser Industry Association for 5 consecutive years.”In the production perspective, the Company continuously strengthened production and operation control, constantly improved the rationality and economy of equipment maintenance cycles, and released a 5-year rolling plan for equipment maintenance. Among them, the major overhauls of the Fudao Phase I urea unit, Fudao Phase II urea unit, and Hainan Phase II methanol unit were all completed successfully ahead of schedule, laying a solid foundation for subsequent stable operations. In the first half of the year, the Company produced 973,000 tonnes of urea, 707,000 tonnes of methanol, 445,000 tonnes of phosphate fertilisers and compound fertilisers, and 97,000 tonnes of acrylonitrile series products. Except for urea, the production of other products increased year-on-year.In terms of marketing, facing the complex and ever-changing market situation, the Company has further strengthened market analysis and priced scientifically and precisely. Meanwhile, the Company explored deeply the market competitiveness and price elasticity of products, and promoted the development of the competitive sales business of fertilisers and methanol. Additionally, the Company strengthened direct sales through e-commerce, with e-commerce direct sales volume increasing by 54% year-on-year. In the first half of the year, the Company sold 1.003 million tonnes of urea, 668,000 tonnes of methanol, 401,000 tonnes of phosphate fertilisers and compound fertilisers, and 88,000 tonnes of acrylonitrile series products.Looking ahead to the second half of the year, the increase in overall supply of urea is expected to exceed the increase in demand. Domestic urea prices are expected to be weak in the third quarter, but will improve later with the preparation of fertilisers for winter wheat. Regarding phosphate fertilisers, the overall supply is sufficient, while with the combined effects of international procurement, domestic autumn wheat demand, and the release of demand for winter storage fertiliser, the overall demand is expected to be relatively strong with prices remaining cautiously optimistic. Methanol supply is relatively abundant, while imports are expected to resume growth. Downstream demand for Methanol is expected to grow, and the cost side will provide price support. It is expected that the supply and demand situation of Methanol will change frequently,exhibiting primarily wide fluctuations in the market trend. On the other hand, both supply and demand for acrylonitrile are expected to grow, but the increase in supply will be more prominent. The market may continue to experience an oversupply, and spot prices are expected to remain weak.Mr. HOU Xiaofeng, CEO and President of China BlueChem said, “In the second half of 2024, the Company will strive to ensure the safe and stable operation of production facilities, and enhance risk mitigation capabilities. At the same time, the Company will continuously optimize resource allocation, leverage locational advantages, enhance product competitiveness and further explore the potential for marketing efficiency improvement. In addition, the Company will improve refined management standards and establish a cost control indicator system. Furthermore, it will strengthen brand building, strive to create a benchmark base for green agriculture brands and emphasize digitalization, intelligence, and green and low-carbon initiatives. Moreover, the Company will promote equipment upgrades and conduct research on the development planning of green strategic emerging industries.”- End -About China BlueChemical Ltd.China BlueChemical Ltd.

While the total number of tourist arrivals recorded solid growth, the strong local currency dampened consumption and prompted an outflow of domestic travellers. While Langham Place Mall continued to outpace the market in retail sales, the Hong Kong office rental market remained under pressure in light of the supply conditions. Following the successful refinancing, we have ample undrawn committed facilities of HK$4.0 billion to support all the refinancing needs in 2024 and 2025. Amid the challenging macroeconomic environment, distributable income of the Trust decreased by 11.9% to HK$544 million and distribution per unit (“DPU”) declined by 12.7% to HK$0.0809.Three Garden RoadThe occupancy of Three Garden Road remained resilient despite the abundant supply in the market. We observed more enquiries from asset management firms and family offices, and managed to secure some new small-sized tenants during the reporting period. Occupancy stood at 82.3% as at 30 June 2024. Rental income decreased by 9.0% to HK$571 million (2023: HK$627 million) as a result of negative rental reversion in the first half of the year. Langham Place Office TowerLangham Place Office Tower continues to be a lifestyle and wellness hub with lifestyle tenants occupying 69% of the area as at 30 June 2024. As the recovery of mainland medical beauty tourism after the pandemic was slower than expected, some beauty and medical tenants scaled down their operations. Occupancy was 87.1% as at 30 June 2024. Rental income decreased by 4.5% to HK$166 million (2023: HK$174 million).Langham Place MallLangham Place Mall continued to outperform the overall Hong Kong retail market in the reporting period. While Hong Kong retail sales declined by 6.6% in the first half of the year, tenants’ sales of the mall increased by 2.3%. The beauty segment continued to be the growth driver. Occupancy of the mall returned to full occupancy as at 30 June 2024. Rental income improved to HK$378 million (2023: HK$366 million).DistributionDistributable income of the Trust dropped 11.9% to HK$544 million (2023: HK$617 million) and DPU dropped 12.7% to HK$0.0809 (2023: HK$0.0927). Based on the closing unit price of HK$1.57 recorded as at 28 June 2024, the total DPU represented an annualised distribution yield of 10.3%.Asset ValueThe appraised value of the Trust’s property portfolio was HK$61.4 billion as at 30 June 2024, declining by 2.5% from HK$62.9 billion as at 31 December 2023.Sustainability We continue to advance our commitment to sustainable practices across our properties and value chain. Three Garden Road has become Hong Kong’s first existing building conferred with the prestigious “Quadruple Platinum” after achieving the Platinum certification of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) v4.1 and the Platinum certification of WiredScore v3.1. We also continued to strengthen strategic partnerships with tenants and stakeholders. A key initiative was the ESG Week held in this July which featured a diverse range of impactful activities in collaboration with over 20 partners and organisations.OutlookWhile the market generally expects interest rate cuts to start in the second half of 2024, it remains uncertain about the degree of the adjustment. The global economy outlook is also clouded by geopolitical tensions and policy risks. For the office portfolio, we will stay flexible in our leasing strategy to tailor to the requirements of tenants. We will also continue to refine the tenant mix of Langham Place Mall and recruit first-in-Hong Kong brands to strengthen the appeal to both local consumers and tourists. We will stay agile and flexible in response to the market dynamics.Photo 1 - (Left)Ms. Christina Hau, Chief Executive Officer & (Right) Ms. Amy Luk, Investment and Investor Relations DirectorPhoto 2 - Ms. Christina Hau, Chief Executive OfficerAbout Champion REIT (stock code: 2778)Champion Real Estate Investment Trust is a trust formed to own and invest in income- producing office and retail properties.

ISTANBUL, August 19, 2024 (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Türkiye received $4.7 billion in international direct investment in the first six months of this year. The Netherlands, the USA, Germany, Ireland, Norway, and the United Kingdom were the countries from which Türkiye received the most investment capital.BankPozitif's Chairman, Dr. Erkan KorkCommenting on the issue, BankPozitif Chairman Dr. Erkan Kork stated that despite the global decline in international direct investments, Türkiye has performed better, saying, "Our country is attracting significant investments from global actors with its entrepreneurial business culture, young population, and competitive products and services. Over the last 20 years, Türkiye has become a country that attracts 1% of the world's investments annually. The goal is to increase this rate to 1.5% by working even harder. Türkiye is not far from this target with the political stability provided by our President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the reforms implemented, infrastructure investments, and investor-friendly policies. Under the vision and determined stance of our Minister of Treasury and Finance, Mr. Mehmet Simsek, our country is on the path to becoming a center for international investments.""It would be no surprise to hear news of new investments"Noting that Türkiye would achieve a much different picture with price stability, Kork said, "Türkiye Cumhuriyet Merkez Bankası Governor Fatih Karahan and his team are, so to speak, working tirelessly day and night. The improvement in the current account balance is evident. Recently, with the increase in our reserves and the correct steps taken, the Turkish Lira has reached an attractive position. Achieving price stability opens the door to the process leading to financial stability. In a country where there is financial stability, the appetite for investment is high," he said."Large-scale investments will come in the fintech sector"Dr. Erkan Kork stated that Türkiye would continue to attract qualified investments, especially those focused on the export of goods and services, saying, "The total value of international direct investment inflows to our country since 2002 has exceeded $268 billion. The investments received in the first six months of 2024 accounted for 28% of the current account deficit. This rate will increase further. Türkiye, which is a production, logistics, and management center for international investors, will continue to attract technology investments, particularly in fintech and e-commerce. I believe that capital inflows will continue not only from Europe and the USA but also from the Gulf countries," Dr. Kork said.About BankPozitifOperating in the field of digital banking, BankPozitif is a Turkey-based financial institution that enables individuals and businesses to carry out their financial transactions quickly and efficiently through a single digital platform.

"We look forward to releasing more analytical results in the coming weeks as they become available.""Between closing our financing earlier this month and the work we've done in the field, 2024 has been an exceptional year for Q2 Metals so far," said Q2 Metals President and CEO, Alicia Milne. "We have just begun our work at the Cisco Property, and having only completed 12 drill holes, these initial results are exceptionally promising."The analytical results reported herein represent the first 1,017 m of drilling over four (4) holes of the 3,753 m that were drilled over 12 holes at the Cisco Property. Initial visual results of those four holes were reported by the Company on June 17, 2024.The Spring 2024 Drill Campaign was designed to expand upon the 2023 drilling by the Property vendors.
