From the debut of the vibrant Spring-Summer 2026 Collection to a star-studded anniversary celebration at Florence's iconic Santa Maria Novella, the brand brought the sport of polo's heritage and modern energy to life on one of the world's most prestigious fashion stages.U.S. Polo Assn. X Pitti Uomo 108Benny Benassi rocks the house for U.S. Polo Assn. at the iconic Chiostro Grande of the historic Complesso di Santa Maria Novella in Florence Italy to celebrate 135 Years of Sport Inspiration – “Play for the Moment, Live for the Legacy.”A Night to Remember: ‘Play for the Moment, Live for the Legacy'On the evening of June 18, more than 1,500 international guests gathered in the breathtaking Chiostro Grande of the historic Complesso di Santa Maria Novella for an invitation-only anniversary celebration that will long be remembered. Hosted by acclaimed Italian actor Roberto Ciufoli, the event was a sensory journey through the sport and brand's authentic 135-year story.Italian music star Clara soon captivated the crowd with a stunning live vocal performance, delivering a set filled with beauty, style, and emotion. Her stage presence matched the elegance of the evening and set the tone for the grand finale. When global DJ legend Benny Benassi took to the turntables, the cloister was transformed into a pulsating open-air dance floor, with an after party of over 1,000 guests celebrating under the stars well into the night.Immersive Art, Heritage, and VisionThe atmosphere was enhanced by a massive, monumental timeline of the U.S. Polo Assn. brand's past and present, projected along the centuries-old walls of Santa Maria Novella. From 1890 to 2025, the visual depiction told the story of the sport of polo's evolution and the brand's growth into a multi-billion-dollar global fashion powerhouse.The event's creative heart came from two visionary artists. Luca Agnani brought immersive mapping effects to the architecture of the cloister, while Pietro Terzini--known for his poetic commentary on pop culture and brand identity--debuted a custom visual installation that blended U.S. Polo Assn.'s sport heritage with his signature textual style. His clever, minimalist expressions on legacy, fashion, and time left a lasting impression and underscored the evening's message: heritage can be both honored and reimagined.Celebrating the Moment, Building the Future"This was more than a trade show--it was a global celebration of U.S. Polo Assn.'s legacy, culture, and future," said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global, the company that manages and markets the multi-billion-dollar global U.S. Polo Assn. brand. "To be part of such an experiential and exciting event set amid the creative energy of Florence--with our amazing partners and team--was simply extraordinary.""It's a powerful reflection of sport-inspired legacy and the bright future of our global brand," he added.Lorenzo Nencini, President of Incom S.p.A. and a member of the Pitti Immagine Board, explained, "To bring our 135th Anniversary to life here in Florence was an honor beyond words. The success of our showing at Pitti Uomo alongside our celebration featuring Pietro Terzini, Clara, and Benny Benassi's finale made this a cultural moment, and an unforgettable experience for those who support U.S. Polo Assn."A Booth Experience That Stole the ShowLocated at Booth 32 in the Cavaniglia Pavilion, U.S. Polo Assn.'s presence at Pitti Uomo from June 17-20 was nothing short of iconic. The space featured a massive 30-foot video screen showcasing brand history and campaign highlights, a curated product collage wall, an elegant champagne bar, models dressed in the latest collection, a celebrity-worthy step-and-repeat, and striking life-size 3-D "135" numerals commemorating the anniversary. The immersive design created an energetic atmosphere that invited trade visitors, influencers, and media to engage with the brand's past, present, and future. Surprise guests to the booth included Pietro Terzini, Clara, Roberto Ciufoli, as well as Olympic swimming athlete Luca Dotto, which drew hundreds of media, guests, fans and influencers to ‘meet and greet' with U.S. Polo Assn.Each of U.S. Polo Assn.'s Italian licensees were on hand to present their latest collections and reinforce the strength of this strategic partnership:Incom S.p.A. showcased the full men's and women's apparel collections, including refined tailoring, bold color palettes, and classic sport-inspired designs for Spring-Summer 2026.Bonis S.p.A. introduced sleek, sport-casual footwear that blends performance function with lifestyle aesthetics, ideal for the modern global consumer.EastLab S.r.l. impressed with a contemporary accessories line, including bags, and leather goods crafted with premium materials and polo-inspired detail.EuroTrade S.r.l. presented the newest in watches and jewelry, combining classic American sensibilities with Italian craftsmanship and innovation.A Week to Remember"U.S. Polo Assn.'s 135th Anniversary represents more than a milestone--it is a celebration of legacy, identity, and enduring style, "said Antonio De Matteis, President of Pitti Immagine."To mark such a prestigious moment here in Florence--where tradition and innovation meet--is especially meaningful. The evening at Santa Maria Novella was not only a tribute to the brand's storied heritage in the sport of polo but also a vivid expression of its global energy and future vision. We were honored to welcome U.S. Polo Assn. back to Pitti Uomo, where fashion, culture, art and music come together on an international stage."The brand's presence at Pitti Uomo resonated strongly with international fans, consumers and influencers, reaffirming U.S. Polo Assn.'s unique position as a global fashion brand authentically connected to the sport. The 135th Anniversary celebration in Florence not only honored the brand's illustrious sport history but inspired the future and the birthright of Born to Play."From our immersive booth experience to our remarkable celebration at Santa Maria Novella, this week was a tribute to the legacy of U.S. Polo Assn.--rooted in the sport of polo and built for the next generation," Prince added.Photo Captions:Benny Benassi rocks the house for U.S. Polo Assn. at the iconic Chiostro Grande of the historic Complesso di Santa Maria Novella in Florence Italy to celebrate 135 Years of Sport Inspiration - "Play for the Moment, Live for the Legacy."Italian model, actress and singer Clara gives private performance to VIP guests at the "Play for the Moment, Live for the Legacy" 135th Anniversary Celebration for U.S. Polo Assn. at Pitti Uomo 108 in Florence, Italy.Italian Actor Roberto Ciufoli presenting the "Play for the Moment, Live for the Legacy" 135th Anniversary Celebration for U.S. Polo Assn. at Pitti Uomo 108 in Florence, Italy.Movie star Jeff Goldblum and his family at the "Play for the Moment, Live for the Legacy" 135th Anniversary Celebration for U.S. Polo Assn. at Pitti Uomo 108 in Florence, Italy.Beautiful VIP guests celebrate at the "Play for the Moment, Live for the Legacy" 135th Anniversary Celebration for U.S. Polo Assn. at Pitti Uomo 108 in Florence, Italy.U.S. Polo Assn. guests celebrate at the iconic Chiostro Grande of the historic Complesso di Santa Maria Novella in Florence, Italy listening to beats from global superstar DJ Benny Benassi.(L to R) Lorenzo Nencini, Incom S.p.A.; Franco Zuccon, EuroTrade; artist Pietro Terzini, performer Clara; U.S. Polo Assn.

HONG KONG, Jun 18, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hong Kong is still on course for export growth of 3% this year, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) confirmed today. This timely assessment came as the HKTDC announced the findings of two of its key metrics namely the 2025 Mid-Year Export Review and Outlook and the HKTDC Export Confidence Index 2Q25.Strong frontloading amid tariff uncertaintiesThe city’s 2025 export performance is navigating a period of almost unprecedented turbulence in the global trade arena. Much of this uncertainty has stemmed from the radical shift in US trade policy – particularly the heavy reliance on substantial import tariffs – adopted by President Trump’s administration.In anticipation of a hefty tariff regime, many of Hong Kong’s exporters opted to “frontload” their orders in the early months of 2025 before the new tariffs were implemented. This helped bolster the city’s export figures in the early months of the year and resulted in a number of other positive factors.Low exposure to US marketFirst, Hong Kong has low exposure to the US market when compared with other economies. For instance, US-bound exports in 2024 accounted for just 6.5% of Hong Kong’s total exports.By learning the lessons of previous tariff regimes, notably during the first term of President Trump (2017 to 2021), Hong Kong successfully reconfigured its trading base to reduce its exposure to uncertainties in the US market. Since 2017, Hong Kong has bolstered its trade ties with other economies, with exports to the ASEAN bloc up 38.5% and to the Middle East increasing by 58.1%. The upshot of this is that, despite a 10.5% drop in Hong Kong’s exports to the US over the last eight years, Hong Kong’s total exports for the period recorded a 17.2% increase.This vulnerability has been further reduced by many Hong Kong exporters prioritizing the diversification of their sourcing locations in line with China+1 or China+N strategies. As a consequence, many of Hong Kong’s US-bound exports are now sourced from different locations than they were in 2017. In fact, in 2024, nearly half of Hong Kong’s US-bound exports originated from a variety of international sources, notably up from the comparable figure of 15% eight years ago.Taken together, should a high level of US tariffs be reinstated, only about 3.4% of Hong Kong’s total exports would be affected. Any impact would then be further diminished once the products eligible for tariff exemptions were also taken into account. Collectively, these factors underpin HKTDC Research’s expectation that, even in such adverse trading conditions, Hong Kong’s exports will still expand by 3% as predicted earlier in the year.Commenting on the HKTDC’s decision to confirm its earlier forecast, Director of Research, Irina Fan, said: “Whatever the outcome of the ongoing trade negotiations, our low exposure to the US market, robust trade ties with other markets and diversified sourcing networks are the key underlying factors that should allow Hong Kong exporters to weather the US tariffs relatively unscathed.”Weaker export performance expected in 2HIn line with the overall expectation that export performance would weaken as 2025 progresses, the overall reading for the HKTDC Export Confidence Index in the second quarter fell below 50 for the first time in a year. This moderate decline in Hong Kong exporter confidence can be taken as aligning with the escalation in global trade uncertainty.With the survey conducted at the height of the China-US tariff trade war (28 April-15 May), this downbeat outcome was widely anticipated. In specific terms, this saw the Current Performance Index fall to 49.6 (down from 52.1), while the Expectation Index stood at 49.0 (down from 51.0). Subsequent to the completion of the survey, new trade negotiations have emerged between Mainland China (including Hong Kong) and the US; an outcome expected to be reflected in the findings of the 3Q25 Index.In other findings, Hong Kong exporter confidence remained high regarding prospects in both the ASEAN bloc (59.9) and Mainland China (52.6), while the corresponding reading for the US plummeted to 31.6 (down from 46.7)The Current Performance of three of the six key Hong Kong industry sectors tracked by the Index remained positive with Jewellery at 51.6, Timepieces at 52.1 and Equipment/Materials at 50.4. In the case of the other three sectors, Electronics and Clothing (both 48.9) were marginally below the watershed level while Toys (43.1) continued its recent decline.Putting the findings into context, Kenneth Lee, Special Project and Business Advisory Section Head, HKTDC Research, said: “Overall, the findings for the second quarter align with earlier expectations of weaker exporter confidence amid US tariff uncertainties. It is, however, heartening to see Hong Kong exporters maintain a largely positive outlook with regard to all of the city’s major markets, except for the US.”To view press releases in Chinese, please visit http://mediaroom.hktdc.com/tcReferences- HKTDC Research website: https://research.hktdc.com/en/- HKTDC Export Confidence Index 2Q25: Exporter Confidence Weakens Amid US Tariff Uncertainties https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MjAyNjM4NzY1Mg- 2025 Mid-Year Trade Review and Outlook: Global Trade Talk Progress Sees HKTDC Adhere to 3% Export Growth Forecast https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MjAzNDc4NjgwMwPhoto download: https://bit.ly/4n24Ds1 HKTDC Director of Research Irina Fan (left) and HKTDC Research’s Special Project and Business Advisory Section Head Kenneth Lee (right) announced the 2025 Mid-Year Trade Review and Outlook and the HKTDC Export Confidence Index for 2025’s second quarter at a press conference todayHKTDC Director of Research Irina FanHKTDC Research’s Special Project and Business Advisory Section Head Kenneth LeeMedia enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communication and Public Affairs Department:Jane CheungTel: (852) 2584 4137Email: jane.mh.cheung@hktdc.orgAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is a statutory body established in 1966 to promote, assist and develop Hong Kong's trade.

SINGAPORE, June 17, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Artificial intelligence (AI) projects are both exciting and complex. They require considerable infrastructure to enable teams to innovate and scale as the need arises. Teams may face problems ranging from managing dependencies to scaling compute resources that can delay any progress. AI containers may just be the answer.Containers help standardize environments, improve scalability, and enable smoother collaboration. These are critical benefits when building and deploying AI models at scale and can make all the difference to your project. Whether you're training models or deploying in production, using an AI container setup can help streamline your entire development process. Let's find out how.Simplified environment managementOne of the biggest pain points in AI development is managing dependencies. Machine learning libraries, GPU drivers, and data preprocessing tools must all work together seamlessly. A small version mismatch may produce inconsistent results.Containers solve this by packaging everything your AI project needs (such as code, runtime, libraries, and system tools) into a single, portable environment. This means what works on one machine will work the same on another, enhancing reliable, predictable results.For teams working remotely with cloud platforms, containers help maintain consistency and reproducibility. Whether you're running a model on a developer's laptop or a testing environment, the container provides a stable environment.Faster experimentation and better security through isolationContainers allow for isolation from both the host system and other containers on the operating system. This isolation is beneficial in a few different ways:Security: Containers may help limit the impact of malicious applications. Isolation limits what each container can access. They make it easy to protect sensitive data processed by an AI model by restricting it's access to other networks.Speed: AI development involves a lot of trial and error. Data scientists often run multiple experiments in parallel, tweak parameters, or test new algorithms in a bid to perfect their model. Containers can help isolate each experiment in its own environment. This may accelerate testing and debugging.Convenience: With containerization, developers can spin up lightweight, standalone instances of different models without worrying about conflicts between dependencies. Additionally, when it's time to deploy, containers allow the same environment used during development to move directly into production.Scalable training with orchestration toolsTraining AI models like deep learning models may require significant compute power. As datasets grow and architecture becomes more complex, developers need infrastructure that can scale flexibly. This is where containers can be particularly useful. Designed to be lightweight and scalable, they are ideal for distributed training across multiple machines or nodes.When paired with orchestration tools like Kubernetes, containers can support resource allocation and manage changing workloads. This orchestration allows AI teams to run multiple training jobs in parallel, scale up or down based on demand, and automate workload management, all essential steps for remaining agile even in rapid development cycles. Whether you're scaling training across cloud instances or running jobs on-premises, container orchestration brings a level of control and efficiency that traditional methods may not match.Containers have become an invaluable tool for AI development teams today. They help teams face some of the biggest challenges in AI workflows head-on and enhance speed and security in the process. Adopting an AI container approach can bring more reliability and control to every stage of the AI lifecycle. Whether you're a solo data scientist or part of a large machine learning team, containers can help you move faster, collaborate better, and deploy smarter.CONTACT:Sonakshi MurzeManagersonakshi.murze@iquanti.comSOURCE: iQuanti Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

KUALA LUMPUR�� June 17, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Institute of Corporate Directors Malaysia (�ICDM� or �the Institute�) recently convened its 8th Annual General Meeting with key advancements signalling a decisive move forward in its mission to elevate corporate governance. In a bold continuation of its 2024 call for boards and directors to �step up or step out� amidst a time of tremendous change and uncertainty, ICDM is embracing an ethos of �Being More� by championing significant new initiatives. �Among the pivotal developments highlighted at the AGM, ICDM is putting a strong emphasis on the upcoming launch of a national Professional Directors Certification Framework (�PDCF�) and the execution of the leadership transition.These key steps forward underscore the Institute�s unwavering commitment to tangible and measurable stewardship, especially in applying the principles of good governance across their organisations. In their 2024 reflection, ICDM encouraged corporate directors to unlearn outdated mindsets, relearn what the future demands, and embrace innovation with courage and a relentless commitment to board excellence and their continuous development. To this end, ICDM�s efforts to professionalise directors and boards will be formalised via a framework that outlines clear standards and qualifications for directors and boards in the later part of 2025.Michele Kythe Lim, President & Chief Executive Officer (CEO) said, �The very future of an organisation depends on the precise and integral leadership of boards and directors. Therefore, they must champion governance, accountability, and performance standards with the same rigour they demand from the companies they oversee. As the national IoD, we are committed to these standards, a commitment proven by an independent Board and Director Effectiveness Evaluation (BDEE) of our own board, which reaffirmed our strengths. Our early structured succession plan further underscores our dedication to organisational growth and mission fulfilment and the Institute has put in place initiatives and achieved many milestones that have brought us to this point. I couldn�t be prouder of the team and am confident that in ICDM, soon to be under Jackie�s capable leadership and with the unwavering support of the board, we will continue to set the bar high.These milestones and initiatives, highlighting ICDM's robust growth, include:Community Expansion: Grew to over 1,500 individual members and 127 corporate members, 64% of which represent public-listed companies (PLCs) with the remaining 36% from the private and public sectors.Programme Delivery & Training: Delivered over 500 programmes and trained more than 30,000 directors, with increasing participation in development programmes like Aspiring Directors Immersion Programme� (ADIP�) and Leading for Impact (LIP).Revenue Growth (2024 vs. 2023):Overall Revenue: Increased by 53%.Leading for Impact (LIP) Programme Revenue: Increased by 172%.Membership and Director Sourcing Revenue: Increased by 52%.Board Remuneration Reviews Revenue: Increased by 56%.Bespoke Programmes Revenue: Increased by 24%.Aspiring Directors Immersion Programme� (ADIP�) Revenue: Increased by 211%.Directors Registry: Features 1,264 pre-screened, board-ready candidates.Female Representation in Registry: Rose to 38% in 2024, a significant increase from 33% in 2023.ICDM will launch the PDCF later this year - a structured, competency-based pathway for directors and for the industry and companies, globally aligned and with a benchmarked baseline qualification. This is in line with the roadmap set out by the Securities Commission Malaysia towards achieving a resilient and high-performing capital market. This national set of standards aims to significantly accelerate the growth of a diverse and qualified talent pool of directors across both public and private sectors and government-linked boards to help companies achieve optimal board composition from the start.Jackie Mah, the current Executive Vice President and succeeding President and CEO of ICDM, said, �Now more than ever, companies, boards and directors are pressing for qualified leaders and peers who uphold uncompromising standards of professionalism and ethical conduct. Just as we hold employees of organisations to certain standards and evaluate them with clear key performance indicators, Boards and Directors should also have mechanisms in place to evaluate their performance and development. The PDCF is not just a certification�it is a commitment to ensuring exemplary standards and quality of leadership among directors across the public and private sectors to meet rigorous, clearly defined benchmarks. More importantly, it will strengthen board effectiveness at scale and safeguard the future success of businesses and organisations.�Since its inception in 2018, ICDM has championed diversity, inclusion, and sustainability in boardrooms. They have expanded their services to include independent board and director effectiveness evaluations (BDEE), board skills matrix, and director sourcing, achieving a 69% success rate in director placements, including women and first-time directors. To further impact governance, ICDM has led regional initiatives like the ASEAN Board Trends Report and ASEAN Directors Registry, and formed strategic partnerships with IOD UK and other regional IoDs, the 30% Club Malaysia, and Climate Governance Malaysia, aiming to elevate board leadership across borders. Additionally, ICDM provides the Mandatory Accreditation Programme (MAP) and Leading for Impact (LIP) for professional development, empowering boards with essential competencies. They also offer comprehensive board advisory and consultancy services, including coaching and mentoring. ICDM engages in advocacy through its network and external stakeholders, expanding its training and advisory services to include sustainability and ESG.About the Institute of Corporate Directors Malaysia (ICDM):The Institute of Corporate Directors Malaysia (ICDM) is a membership-based organisation whose mandate is to professionalise directorship in Malaysia. As the national institute of directors (IoD), ICDM is committed to providing continuous professional development - empowering boards and directors with forward-thinking mindsets, practical knowledge and essential competencies. Established by the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) and supported by Bank Negara Malaysia, Bursa Malaysia and the Capital Market Development Fund (CMDF), ICDM's goal is to be the leading influence of excellence in governance and to build a robust corporate governance culture in Malaysia.

SAN DIEGO, CA, June 16, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) is partnering with Saab to develop Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) capability for its line of MQ-9B Remotely Piloted Aircraft, which includes the SkyGuardian® and SeaGuardian® models, the United Kingdom's Protector, and the new MQ-9B STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) model currently in development. GA-ASI plans to fly AEW on MQ-9B in 2026."High and low-tech air threats both pose major challenges to global air forces," said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. "We're developing an affordable AEW solution in cooperation with Saab, the leading provider of AEW&C systems, that will transform our customers' operations against both sophisticated cruise missiles and simple but dangerous drone swarms. We're also making AEW capability possible in areas it doesn't exist today, such as from some navy warships at sea."GA-ASI will pair Saab's AEW sensors with the world's longest-range, highest-endurance unmanned aircraft system (UAS), the MQ-9B. At sea or over land, the AEW mission package on MQ-9B will put air dominance within reach at a lower cost than legacy platforms.The MQ-9B AEW solution will offer critical aloft sensing to defend against tactical air, guided missiles, drones, and other threats at a fraction of the cost of manned platforms. Operational availability for medium-altitude long-endurance UAS is the highest of any military aircraft, and as an unmanned platform, its aircrew are not put into harm's way. AEW for MQ-9B will augment existing AEW fleets by extending their effective ranges. It also gives air forces that need AEW, but lack legacy platforms, a powerful and affordable means to counter threats.GA-ASI and Saab's AEW offering will span a wide range of applications, including early detection and warning; long-range detection and tracking; simultaneous target tracking and flexible combat system integration, all over line-of-sight and SATCOM connectivity.MQ-9B is the world's most advanced medium-altitude, long-endurance UAS. GA-ASI has MQ-9B orders from the United Kingdom, Belgium, Canada, Poland, Japan, Taiwan, India, and the U.S. Air Force in support of the Special Operations Command. MQ-9B has also supported various U.S. Navy exercises, including Northern Edge, Integrated Battle Problem, RIMPAC, and Group Sail.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Logging more than 8 million flight hours, the Predator® line of UAS has flown for over 30 years and includes MQ-9A Reaper®, MQ-1C Gray Eagle® 25M, MQ-20 Avenger®, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®.

SAN DIEGO, CA, June 16, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), the world leader in unmanned aircraft from the iconic Predator® to the YFQ-42A Collaborative Combat Aircraft, has unveiled a new small uncrewed launched effect with widespread multi-mission capabilities for the global aerospace and defense market.Inspired by Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of powerful natural forces in the Pacific, the Precision Exportable Launched Effect - PELE - is a small, attrition-tolerant, propeller-driven unmanned aircraft designed to extend the sensing and other capabilities of a mothership aircraft and its user service. PELE is a semi-autonomous unmanned aircraft system (UAS) with an 11-foot wingspan and 16-horsepower engine that extends user reach within challenging environments with potent effects. PELE also could be launched from the ground.The new PELE is optimized for use on the MQ-9B SkyGuardian®, the world's foremost medium-altitude, long-endurance, multi-mission uncrewed aircraft. MQ-9B is in use or being considered for use by a growing number of nations around the world. PELE can fly with an onboard electro-optical infrared sensor for full-motion video as well as other integral sensors. The aircraft also has internal stowage for its own mission payloads."PELE brings even more versatility to growing MQ-9B fleets around the world," said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. "On one day, an air force might fly an MQ-9B with no external payloads to maximize its patrol time. Then on the next day, the same aircraft could take off and fly with several PELEs that would stand in against the adversary and take the immediate risks to preserve the larger aircraft."For example, MQ-9B might approach a contested boundary from international waters and release PELE to scout through the disputed zone to assess a hostile force's order of battle or detect and precisely geo-locate anti-air systems. PELE is 9 feet in length, has a maximum gross takeoff weight of 250 pounds, 7 hours of endurance and range of 500 nautical miles.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).

HONG KONG, Jun 13, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd. (“Tat Hong” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) (Stock Code: 2153), the first foreign-owned tower crane service provider established in the PRC, has announced its annual results for the year ended 31 March 2025 (“FY2025” or the “Year”).In FY2025, the Group recorded revenue of approximately RMB 634.6 million (2024: RMB682.3 million). Loss attributable to equity holders of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025 amounted to RMB 120.5 million (2024: RMB95.6 million). The increase in loss was primarily due to (i) slower economic growth and a downturn in the construction industry led to a decline in revenue; and (ii) the adjustment of deferred tax resulted in increased income tax expenses.As at 31 March 2025, the Group is managing a total of 1,180 tower cranes. The Group’s total tonne metres (TM) in use decreased from 3,178,404 for the year ended 31 March 2024 to 3,137,910 for the year ended 31 March 2025. As at 31 March 2025, the Group had 256 projects in progress with a total outstanding contract value of approximately RMB 721.4 million and 38 projects on hand of total expected contract value at approximately RMB 78.7 million.During the financial year, under the effect of insufficient market demand and the decline in the average monthly service price of tower cranes per TM, the supply and demand mismatch had resulted in high market competition in the entire construction machinery industry. To cope with the sluggish market conditions, the Group has developed tailored strategies and continuously adjusted its business mix, progressively reducing the revenue contribution from the real estate sector.In response to the national initiative to vigorously develop clean energy and aligning with market trends and growth potential, the Group has concentrated on thermal power projects and nuclear power projects. Clean energy projects usually entail lengthy construction cycles and large-scale operations, and the Group has obtained significant advantages by leveraging its extensive industry experience, established construction expertise, and strong technical capabilities.In FY2025, the Group accelerated its overseas market presence, thoroughly implemented its operational strategies through its subsidiaries in the Greater Bay Area and in Indonesia, and gradually expanded its fleet of large and medium-sized tower cranes. Up to now, large-tonnage-meter tower cranes have been predominantly deployed in the projects across Hong Kong and Indonesia. In light of the above, clean energy and overseas projects remain the Group’s key priorities for future development.During the year, the Group had continued the investment in the digitalization of the management platform and the research and development of new tower crane technical solutions. As at 31 March 2025, the Group possess 187 registered patents for utility models and inventions relating to tower cranes. The robust technical capabilities will continue to enable the Group to procure projects, and the enhancement in the research and development capabilities for tower crane technical solutions will reinforce the excellent delivery in services.Mr. Sean Yau, CEO of Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd., said: " In addition to the downturn in the property market and the construction industry, the geopolitical tensions and the depreciation pressure on the RMB further weakened the economy of the PRC. Tackling these economic challenges and the changing business environment., we have promptly adopted adjustments to our development strategies, including the expansion to the clean energy construction segment and the geographical expansion to the Greater Bay Area and Indonesia, and we believe the positive impact will be reflected in the coming years.Mr. Roland Ng, Chairman of Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd., said: “In the most trying circumstances, we remain steadfast in our original mission.
