Propel Global Reports Encouraging 24.2% Growth in Revenue to RM34.3 Million in Q1 FY2025

November 26, 2024

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 26, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - PROPEL GLOBAL BERHAD ("Propel Global" or the "Group”), a provider of oil and gas (“O&G”) services, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 (“Q1 FY2025”). The Group recorded revenue of RM34.3 million for the quarter ended 30 September 2024, reflecting a 24.2% increase from RM27.6 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous year (“Q1 FY2024”).Ms. Angeline Lee, Executive Director, Group Chief Executive Officer of Propel GlobalThe Group achieved revenue growth in Q1 FY2025, driven primarily by the Oil & Gas (“O&G”) segment, which contributed RM20.3 million. This performance was supported by ongoing Engineering, Procurement, Construction & Commissioning (“EPCC”) and Marine Heating, Ventilation, and Air-conditioning (“HVAC”) projects. While the segment’s profit before tax (“PBT”) moderated to RM1.4 million compared to RM5.0 million in Q1 FY2024, this was primarily due to a foreign exchange loss of RM1.1 million from the depreciation of the US Dollar and the absence of one-off gains recorded in the previous year, amounting to RM2.8 million.The Technical Services (“TS”) segment achieved impressive revenue growth, reaching RM11.2 million, up from RM8.6 million in Q1 FY2024, reflecting progress on the construction of an electronics factory in Chuping, Perlis. Although the segment posted a marginal loss before tax (“LBT”) of RM0.2 million, this was mainly due to increased material and operational costs, which the Group is actively addressing to enhance margins moving forward.The Information and Communications Technology (“ICT”) segment continued its steady performance, contributing RM2.8 million in revenue and RM0.6 million in PBT. This reflects the success of the Group’s diversification strategy and its ability to capitalise on growth opportunities in the digital technology sector.For Q1 FY2025, the Group reported a LBT of RM4.0 million, compared to a PBT of RM0.9 million in Q1 FY2024. This was due to higher corporate administrative expenses, including professional charges and staff costs, along with a fair value loss of RM0.5 million on quoted shares and goodwill impairment losses of RM0.2 million. The absence of one-off gains recorded in the previous year further impacted the overall comparative performance.Despite these challenges, the Group remains well-positioned for future growth, with total equity of RM102.5 million and cash and cash equivalents of RM19.8 million as of 30 September 2024. This robust position enables PGB to invest in strategic initiatives and confidently navigate market uncertainties while maintaining a focus on long term value creation for stakeholders.Ms. Angeline Lee, Executive Director / Group Chief Executive Officer of Propel Global commented, “Our Q1 FY2025 results highlight the resilience of our business amidst external challenges. While foreign exchange losses and the absence of one-off gains impacted our profitability, our revenue growth reflects the strength of our core operations and ongoing diversification efforts.”She added, “With our increased stake in Best Wide Engineering Sdn. Bhd. (“BWE”) to 90.0%, we are well-positioned to capitalise on opportunities in the oil and gas sector, particularly as Petronas continues its RM60 billion capital expenditure. Additionally, our focus on HVAC services aligns with Malaysia’s sustainability goals under the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) and Budget 2025, positioning us to meet the rising demand for energy-efficient solutions.”The Group remains optimistic about its growth prospects in fiscal year 2025 (“FY2025”). In the O&G segment, Petronas’ substantial investments, including RM10 billion in recently awarded contracts for Maintenance, Construction, and Modification (“MCM”) projects, provide a solid foundation for growth. The HVAC segment is set to benefit from Malaysia’s ambitious sustainability goals, with RM300 million allocated under Budget 2025 to support green initiatives and the potential introduction of a carbon tax in 2026 further encouraging businesses to adopt eco-friendly practices. PGB’s expertise in energy-efficient solutions positions the Group to capitalise on these trends.While global economic uncertainties persist, driven by geopolitical tensions and potential supply chain disruptions following the recent US presidential election, Malaysia’s economy is expected to grow steadily, with GDP forecasted to rise by 4.5% to 5.5% in 2025. This positive outlook, supported by a historic RM421 billion in expenditure under Budget 2025, underscores the Group’s confidence in its ability to navigate challenges and deliver sustainable growth for its stakeholders.ABOUT PROPEL GLOBAL BERHADPropel Global Berhad (“Propel Global” or the “Group”) is a provider of oil and gas (O&G) services, including the supply and provision of maintenance services for air-conditioning and ventilation systems, alongside specialised oilfield services such as pipe recovery, well intervention, diagnostic and sand management, and production enhancement.

‘依拉环素临床应用综合评价项目’终期报告发布

November 26, 2024

上海, 2024年11月26日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 云顶新耀（HKEX 1952.HK）是一家专注于创新药研发、临床开发、制造和商业化的生物制药公司，今日宣布由国家卫生健康委抗菌药物临床应用与耐药评价专家委员会发起并主办的"依拉环素临床应用综合评价项目"总结会在北京举行，并发布了项目终期报告。该项目旨在对我国新型抗菌药物用于感染治疗的临床综合评价，进一步促进新上市抗微生物药物在临床应用中的合理性，为国家制定相关政策提供数据支持，更好地服务于患者。终期报告显示，经依拉环素治疗3天时的整体有效率为91.1%，治疗结束时的总治疗有效率为90.1%。抗微生物药物耐药性（Antimicrobial Resistance，AMR）是21世纪全球最严峻的健康挑战之一。世界卫生组织（WHO）称，到2050年，每年可能约有1000万人死于AMR，这也将超过癌症的死亡人数，使得AMR成为致死的主要原因。依拉环素临床应用综合评价项目自2023年9月23日启动，于2024年11月完成项目数据收集。项目共采集病例3369例，来自全国231家医院的839位医生。总结会上共发布六份终期报告，包括一份总项目数据分析报告以及五份专科报告。数据显示，依拉环素主要用于病情复杂的感染患者，3369例病例来源科室中，ICU最多，其次为血液科，分别占46.8%和23.6%；从感染类型来看，肺炎最为常见，占比62.5%，肺炎合并血流感染和肺炎合并腹腔感染分别占比7.1%和5.0%；在2373例单一病原体感染中，鲍曼不动杆菌最为常见，占比52.0%，其次为肺炎克雷伯菌，占比26.1%。依拉环素治疗的这些病例中，体外药敏结果显示：鲍曼不动杆菌对亚胺培南和美罗培南的耐药率分别为92.9%和90.3%，肺炎克雷伯菌对亚胺培南和美罗培南的耐药率分别为82.0%和82.1%（根据CLSI折点）。依拉环素对单一感染病原体的鲍曼不动杆菌和肺炎克雷伯菌敏感率分别为95.5%和92.5%（根据ChinaCAST折点）。临床疗效分析显示，依拉环素治疗3天时的整体有效率为91.1%；治疗结束时整体有效率为90.1%，患者平均3.2天退热；从病原体分析来看，依拉环素对不同病原体的治疗结束时有效率分别为大肠埃希菌94.0%、鲍曼不动杆菌91.4%、肺炎克雷伯菌91,2%，嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌90.3%；治疗结束时微生物学整体有效性评价显示，其总有效率为90.7%；从第30天感染转归来看，总临床有效率为85.9%；患者预后分析显示，患者好转出院率为83.0%。研究中，依拉环素安全性良好，总体不良反应发生率仅2.7%。综上所述，依拉环素在治疗来自ICU、血液科、移植科、呼吸科等多个科室的感染患者，尤其对于碳青霉烯耐药的鲍曼不动杆菌、肺炎克雷伯菌等多种病原体导致的肺部感染患者中，显示出良好的疗效和安全性。云顶新耀首席执行官罗永庆表示："依拉环素临床应用综合评价项目终期报告的发布具有里程碑式意义，报告表明依拉环素（依嘉(R)）抗菌谱广、抗菌活性强、治疗多重耐药菌所致感染的临床疗效显著，不良事件发生率低，为临床积极应对多重耐药菌感染威胁提供了有力武器。目前，抗微生物药物耐药性已被WHO列为全球十大公共卫生威胁之一，到2050年，每年可能导致1000万人死亡，超过癌症的死亡人数，成为致死的主要原因，给人类健康带来沉重负担。作为全球首个且唯一的全新一类的抗菌药物 - 氟环素类，依拉环素已获得国内外多个治疗指南/共识的推荐，并被列入最新2024 WHO更新的具有重要医学意义的抗微生物药物清单。未来，随着更多真实世界研究的开展和临床用药经验的积累，依拉环素还将展现出更广阔的应用前景，我们也将致力于让依拉环素精准惠及更多感染患者。""依拉环素临床应用综合评价项目"总牵头人、北京协和医学院临床检验诊断学系主任徐英春教授表示："依拉环素临床应用综合评价项目采集病例涵盖了多个科室，这一数据集的规模与完整性在国内和国际同类研究中居于领先地位，为深入理解感染性疾病的治疗与抗菌药物管理提供宝贵的实证基础。依拉环素在耐药菌感染治疗中的有效性，特别是在重症和血液科的应用，为患者带来了良好的临床获益，终期报告验证了依拉环素的疗效和安全性，期待未来有更多的患者从中获益。"此前，"依拉环素临床应用综合评价项目"中期报告在今年8月份公布，疗效分析显示依拉环素在ICU和血液等科室，尤其是鲍曼不动杆菌、肺炎克雷伯菌等病原体所致肺部感染方面，显示出良好的有效性和安全性。依嘉(R)于2023年3月获得中国国家药品监督管理局（NMPA）的批准，并于当年7月成功商业化上市，抗菌谱覆盖临床常见包括多重耐药菌在内的革兰阴性菌、革兰阳性菌、厌氧菌，以及包括耐药肺炎支原体在内的非典型病原体，被列入2023版中国《耐碳青霉烯革兰阴性菌（CRO）感染的诊疗与防控指南》等多项临床指南和专家共识。2024年3月，WHO更新了"医学上重要的抗微生物药物"（Medically Important Antimicrobials，MIA ）清单，基于氟环素对四环素侧链的全新改造使其在耐药机制上有了很大变化，WHO将氟环素单独归类为新的抗菌药物类别，依拉环素为该类中唯一药物。关于依嘉(R)（依拉环素）依嘉(R)（依拉环素）是全球首个氟环素类抗菌药物，用于治疗包括临床常见多重耐药菌在内的革兰阴性菌、革兰阳性菌、厌氧菌等所引起的感染。依嘉(R)目前已在美国、欧盟、英国、新加坡、中国大陆、中国香港和中国台湾地区被批准用于治疗复杂性腹腔内感染（cIAI）。依嘉(R)是云顶新耀从Tetraphase制药公司（为Innoviva, Inc.的全资子公司）授权引进。关于依拉环素临床应用综合评价项目该项目由国家卫生健康委抗菌药物临床应用与耐药评价专家委员会发起并主办，北京康盟慈善基金会、北京生命绿洲公益服务中心共同承办，旨在对我国新型抗菌药物用于感染治疗的临床综合评价，进一步促进新上市抗微生物药物在临床应用中的合理性，为国家制定相关政策提供数据支持，更好的服务于患者。如需了解依拉环素临床应用综合评价项目终期报告的更多信息，请访问项目官方网站：http://www.kangnaiyaopingjiawei.com/?page_id=1751。关于云顶新耀云顶新耀是一家专注于创新药和疫苗研发、临床开发、制造和商业化的生物制药公司，致力于满足亚洲市场尚未满足的医疗需求。云顶新耀的管理团队在中国及全球领先制药企业从事过高质量研发、临床开发、药政事务、化学制造与控制（CMC）、业务发展和商业化运营，拥有深厚的专长和丰富的经验。云顶新耀已打造多款疾病首创或者同类最佳的药物组合，公司的治疗领域包括肾科疾病、感染性和传染性疾病、自身免疫性疾病。有关更多信息，请访问公司网站：www.everestmedicines.com。前瞻性声明本新闻稿所发布的信息中可能会包含某些前瞻性表述，乃基于本公司或管理层在做出表述时对公司业务运营情况及财务状况的现有看法、相信、和现有预期，可能会使用"将"、"预期"、"预测"、"期望"、"打算"、"计划"、"相信"、"预估"、"确信"及其他类似词语进行表述。这些前瞻性表述并非对未来业绩的保证，会受到风险、不确定性及其他因素的影响，有些乃超出本公司的控制范围，难以预计。因此，受我们的业务、竞争环境、政治、经济、法律和社会情况的未来变化及发展等各种因素及假设的影响，实际结果可能会与前瞻性表述所含资料有较大差别。本公司及各附属公司、各位董事、管理人员、顾问及代理未曾且概不承担更新该稿件所载前瞻性表述以反映在本新闻稿发布日后最新信息、未来项目或情形的任何义务，除非法律要求。 Copyright 2024 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

香港, 2024年11月25日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 近年来，随着汽车电动化、智能化发展，中国智能驾驶科技市场规模快速增长，让越来越多的用户享受到更安全、舒适和智能的出行体验。在这个过程中，扮演重要角色的智驾企业也步入了高速增长阶段。其中，作为在全球范围内提供智驾解决方案的科技企业之一，福瑞泰克（浙江）智能科技股份有限公司于11月22日向港交所递交上市申请，借助资本市场将进一步扩大领先地位。站在长坡厚雪赛道，业绩呈快速增长趋势福瑞泰克专注于高级驾驶辅助系统(ADAS)和自动驾驶系统(ADS)技术，主要为OEM提供全栈智能驾驶解决方案，包括大型传统OEM和新兴汽车制造商。据灼识咨询的资料，在2023年中国L2级及L2+/L2++级智能驾驶解决方案市场中，公司位列自主供应商第三名，市场份额为14.6%。从行业角度来看，具有领先优势往往意味着公司拥有更出色的产品交付能力，更广泛的客户群体和更完善的技术平台，使公司能够抓住市场机遇，为客户提供优质的服务，从而确立市场地位。具体来看，上述底气体现在市场的增长潜力和公司持续释放的业绩潜能。就前者来说，随着高速NOA和城市NOA加速普及，汽车智能化发展势头日益强劲。全球量产级L0级至L2+╱L2++级智驾解决方案以收入计的市场规模由2019年的1083亿元增加至2023年的2771亿元，复合年增长率为26.5%，预期到2028年将达到6503亿元，2023年至2028年的复合年增长率为18.6%。而中国作为全球最大的智驾解决方案市场，预期到2028年将达到2103亿元，2023年至2028年的复合年增长率为24.1%。其中，搭载L2级智驾解决方案的汽车渗透率预期将从2023年的33.8%增至2028年的51.8%，搭载L2+/L2++级智驾解决方案的汽车渗透率预期将从2023年的3.6%增至2028年的22.1%。这意味着，福瑞泰克正处在一个高成长赛道之上，有望抓住中国乃至全球市场中井喷的客户需求，未来对海外市场的持续布局将转化为重要的增长点。就后者来说，福瑞泰克在过去几年的业绩呈现加速增长趋势。招股书显示，收入由2021年的3.33亿元增长至2023年的9.08亿元，三年时间收入规模翻了三倍，2024年上半年的收入同比增长33.7%至3.12亿元。这体现出公司业务保持扩张，证明了其在智驾解决方案市场具备竞争优势，展现出充足的商业化潜能。此外，公司在研发上大力投入，2021年至2023年，分别投入1.84亿元、5.15亿元和5.61亿元，三年累计超12.6亿元，为公司抓住更多变现机会，展现更强大的盈利能力提供可靠的支撑。所以，综合考虑公司当前的领先地位、全球智驾解决方案市场的潜力、公司日益完善的商业化能力，福瑞泰克有实力为投资者描绘向好的增长姿态和成长预期，这也无疑会对市场资金释放出巨大的吸引力。多维度竞争壁垒，多元投资方加持，有望塑造行业标杆如何评估福瑞泰克的长期潜力？在广泛认知中，要在智驾科技领域持续突破，企业往往要面对以下难点：较长的验证周期、交付周期；技术、人才和资源等多方面的考虑；在较高的投入回报周期下，部分企业还要考虑资金压力。对福瑞泰克来说，其正是围绕这些方面建立起了多维度的竞争壁垒。首先是客户壁垒。公司掌握多元化的合作伙伴，招股书显示，截至今年上半年，公司已与46家OEM建立业务合作伙伴关系，涵盖了全部国内十大OEM（按2023年汽车销量计），并拥有累计超过280个定点项目及累计超过200个量产项目，覆盖多样化且不断增长的车型。这说明福瑞泰克在市场端有着深厚积累和量产项目经验，使得产能利用率得到保障，释放规模效应的同时带来稳定的业绩增长。这也意味着，公司在交付能力、质量管控等方面具备竞争优势，收获大量OEM认可。比如，截至今年上半年，公司的智驾解决方案的最短交付周期仅8个月，根据灼识咨询的资料，这显著快于行业平均水平。其次是技术壁垒。从终端客户的需求来判断智驾技术领先，本质是判断安全、舒适、智能的车辆驾驶体验。不同的智驾科技企业带来的实际体验差异较大，背后具备极高的技术门槛。而福瑞泰克基于全栈自研的ODIN平台，硬件、软件和算法的深度整合，在保证产品最佳性能的同时，能够高效地为客户提供兼容不同车型，全面、灵活且具备成本效益的解决方案。由此，福瑞泰克在行业中具备差异化优势。比如，以13 TOPS的算力提供行业领先的高速NOA和APA等行泊一体高阶智驾功能，在低算力要求下实现高性价比的产品。在严格管控单车成本的背景下，技术和产品顺应最新的市场趋势，由此具备充足的市场竞争力。最后是人才和资源壁垒。招股书显示，目前公司共有员工855人，其中研发人员625人，占总员工的73.1%。其中，50.6%持有学士学位，47.2%持有硕士或以上学位。公司掌握行业稀缺的研发人才，给技术创新提供了底层的支撑。同时，公司此前已完成多轮融资，股东包括政府产业基金、知名专业投资机构以及吉利、上汽、北汽、东风及陕汽等多家行业战略合作伙伴。多元化的股东背景能为公司的业务发展提供全面的支持，此外，这也足见IPO前投资者对公司价值的高度认可。智驾产业具备技术、人才和资本密集等特点，长期来看，高端且高性价比的智驾解决方案产品，天然有着较高的竞争壁垒。因此，福瑞泰克有望在竞争中持续胜出，打造成为行业标杆，长期树立牢固的行业地位。总结：总的来说，福瑞泰克作为投资标的，从业绩、技术、客户和资源等多维度来看，公司含金量较高，并且掌握少数玩家才拥有的竞争力。从市场角度看，当前汽车智能化渗透率还有巨大的提升空间，智驾解决方案市场尚在发展初期，行业格局还没有定型。而公司已占据领先地位，有望实现"强者恒强"。所以，投资者有理由认可福瑞泰克的价值潜力，若未来成功上市，表现也将令人期待。 Copyright 2024 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

November 25, 2024

香港, 2024年11月25日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 11月21日，标普全球评级发表更新报告，对复星国际(00656)近期美元债券的成功发行表达了高度的认可。标普认为复星本次美元债的成功发行对集团融资渠道的拓宽起到积极作用，维持复星国际"稳定"展望评级不变。标普此次发表评级报告，是针对复星国际11月13日成功定价发行的一笔3亿美元的3.5年期高级无抵押债券。标普指出，复星时隔三年多重启境外美元债市场，证明了其信用指标的实质性提升和市场的广泛认可，美元债的发行对复星拓宽融资渠道，拉长债务久期，强化流动性管理，都起到积极正面作用。本次新债发行的同时，复星宣布要约等额的2025年到期的美元债，以确保有息债务总额不因新债发行而上升。据悉，此次债券发行成功吸引了大批国际优质投资者的认购，订单总金额最终超过12亿美元。据外电引述市场消息指，此次债券成功发行得益于公司近两年持续坚定的聚焦产业发展、非战略资产退出、优化债务结构和国际评级稳定等举措和成果，复星成为近年来极少数在全球投资者信心恢复方面取得实质性进展的中国民营企业之一。在美元降息的大环境下，复星持续为长期支持它的投资者提供优质、安全、长期的资产配置的机会，为投资人创造和分享企业经营价值。标普在报告中提及，虽然三亿美元的规模不大，但是结合集团之前8.88亿美元境外银团的成功组建，以及其境内银行贷款多年成功续期的成绩，标普认为复星对未来两年内到期债务的兑付留有充足的流动性安全垫。此次美元债券，标普给出的信用评级为"BB-"，展望稳定，并预期复星将继续退出非核心资产，集团债务将稳步下降，境外子公司步入成熟期将夯实复星的分红收入。不久前，复星国际宣布于9月30日通过绿鞋机制成功完成总规模达8.88亿美元的可持续发展挂钩银团贷款，这是今年截至目前中国民营企业在市场上同类贷款规模中最大的一笔，此次银团为三年期高级无抵押流动资金贷款，参团银行包含多家国际领先银行、大中华区、亚太区以及欧美等地区银行。此举反映了中外资银行对于复星信用质量的持续认可，也表明了公司融资渠道的畅通，有助于为公司稳健发展提供坚实的基础。近日，多家证券行均指出复星国际聚焦核心业务战略成效显著，当中，东北证券于11月15日发表研究报告，认为复星国际在"科创+全球化布局"双轮驱动下，战略定位清晰、四大板块业务稳健，此外还通过优化资产配置，现金流稳步改善。东北证券对复星的未来发展前景持乐观态度，并给予"买入"评级。 Copyright 2024 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

S&P Acknowledges Fosun’s Return to the USD Bond Market

November 25, 2024

HONG KONG, Nov 25, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On 21 November 2024, S&P Global Ratings released an updated report expressing strong recognition of Fosun International (HKEX: 00656)’s recent US dollar note issuance. S&P noted that the successful issuance is positive for the company’s credit matrix as it helps broaden the Group’s funding channels, thereby maintaining a “stable” outlook on Fosun International’s rating.S&P released the report following Fosun International’s successful issuance of USD300 million 3.5-year US dollar-denominated senior unsecured notes on 13 November. S&P pointed out that re-opening the offshore US dollar bond market which has been closed for more than three years reflects a significant improvement in Fosun’s creditworthiness and recognition from broad-based investors. The US dollar note issuance is positive in helping Fosun International to diversify its financing options, extend its debt maturities, and strengthen its liquidity buffer. Alongside the new note issuance, Fosun announced to tender its 2025 maturity bond up to equivalent amount of the new issue. This is to ensure that the new issue will not increase Fosun’s total outstanding interest-bearing debt.It is reported that the note issuance attracted strong interest from a large number of mainstream institutional investors globally, with the order book reportedly exceeding USD1.2 billion.According to various market sources, the successful issuance of the USD300 million notes was attributed to the company’s consistent focus on core business development, divestment of non-strategy asset, optimization of debt structure, and stabilization of international credit ratings over the past two years, helping Fosun to become one of the few Chinese private enterprises to regain vote of confidence from global investors in recent years. Amidst a backdrop of US rate easing cycle, Fosun continues to provide high-quality, secure, and long-term asset allocation options for its long-term supportive investors, thereby maximizing value for them.S&P mentioned in the report that although the size of the USD300 million note issuance is not large, combined with the Group’s USD888 million offshore syndicated loan raised earlier in the end of September, as well as Fosun’s solid track record of refinancing onshore bank loans over past years, S&P believes Fosun has adequate liquidity buffer to meet its debt maturities obligation over the next two years. S&P reaffirmed a “BB-” stable rating to the US dollar notes and expects Fosun to continue divesting its non-core assets, leading to a steady decline in the Group’s debt. Furthermore, as offshore subsidaries reach maturity, Fosun International’s dividend receipts are expected to enhance significantly.On 30 September, Fosun International announced the closure of a sustainability-linked syndicated loan totaling USD888 million through greenshoe, one of the largest of its kind issued by Chinese private enterprises this year. The loan is a three-year senior unsecured working capital loan and the participating banks include several leading banks from Greater China, the Asia-Pacific region, and Europe and the Americas. This reflects the continued recognition of the Group’s credit quality by both domestic and international banks, and indicates that the company’s sound financing channels will provide a solid foundation for its steady development.Recently, research reports from several securities firms have pointed out that Fosun International’s strategy of focusing on its core businesses has yielded significant results. Among them, Northeast Securities released a research report on 15 November, noting that Fosun International, driven by its twin driver of “innovation + globalization”, has a clear strategic positioning and robust performance across its four business segments. Furthermore, Fosun has steadily improved its cash flow through optimizing asset allocation. Northeast Securities is optimistic about Fosun’s future prospects and has assigned the company a “Buy” rating. Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

First Quarterly Profit, High-Quality Platform Growth, NaaS Technology Accelerates Ecosystem Development

November 23, 2024

HONG KONG, Nov 22, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On November 20, NaaS Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: NAAS), the first U.S.-listed EV charging service company in China, released its Q3 2024 earnings report, showcasing an impressive performance.According to the announcement, the company's core strategy—its charging service business—has shown strong growth, contributing RMB 42.37 million in revenue, a 36% year-over-year increase, accounting for 95% of total revenue. This highlights the success of the company’s strategic focus, which also resulted in a significant increase in gross profit margin. In Q3 2024, the gross profit margin reached a record-high 57%, up from 38% in the previous quarter. Notably, the company achieved a critical milestone this quarter by recording its first-ever positive net profit. Non-IFRS net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders was RMB 21.2 million (US$ 3.0 million) for the third quarter, signaling a successful transition to the "high-quality development" phase, focusing on profitability and marking a significant improvement in the company’s earning capabilities.Strategic Focus on Charging Services, Strengthening the Role as an Industry ConnectorNaaS's strong profitability this quarter is closely tied to its strategic decision to focus on its charging services business, which is a platform business in nature.As a leader in third-party electric vehicle (EV) charging services, NaaS does not directly operate charging stations. Instead, it leverages its robust connectivity, operational, and intelligent digital capabilities to act as an "industry connector." Positioned as a platform linking supply and demand in the EV charging industry, NaaS avoids the low-profit, high-capital-intensive energy solutions segment and emphasizes the distinct platform characteristics of its charging service business.NaaS’s charging service business is supported by its strategic partnership with the Kuaidian APP, which serves as a traffic portal to provide interconnection services for various charging operators. The partnership expands NaaS’s user outreach while also improving EV charging stations’ utilization and operational efficiency, by drawing to them more customer traffic . For EV owners, the service enables quick searches for nearby charging stations, including real-time status updates, improving charging efficiency and optimizing the user experience.NaaS’s platform-driven charging services integrate various industry participants, enhance ecosystem construction on both the supply and demand sides, improve industry efficiency, and align the charging sector with the rapid growth of China's EV industry.This platform business requires substantial early-stage investment, including subsidies, to cultivate market habits and expand network coverage. With the rapidly evolving EV sector, characterized by technological innovation and shifting market dynamics, initial investments may be amplified. However, as the platform grows and user loyalty strengthens, the industry shifts from chaotic expansion to refined operations, with NaaS gradually realizing economies of scale and achieving profitability at scale.According to the latest financial report, NaaS is actively aligning with industry development trends by optimizing its internal processes and improving efficiency, thereby enhancing profitability. Driven by the dual forces of market demand and user growth, NaaS is gradually entering a harvest phase.The financial report shows that in Q3 2024, the company’s charging service business achieved steady growth in both GTR (Gross Take Rate) and NTR (Net Take Rate), with the proportion of profitable orders rising to 73%. The total charging volume transacted through the NaaS network reached 1.284 billion kWh, a 13% increase quarter-over-quarter. These factors collectively fueled the growth of NaaS’s charging service business and are the primary reasons behind the company achieving its first-ever quarterly non-IFRS net profit.Moving Beyond Subsidy Dependence, Achieving Organic Platform GrowthIn addition to its impressive profitability, NaaS’s charging service business has also demonstrated significant high-quality growth in scale. As the market matures, NaaS’s business shows clear scale advantages that continue to expand.Recognizing industry trends and aligning with internal capabilities, NaaS began reducing user subsidies in early 2024, transitioning from subsidy-driven growth to organic growth by expanding user acquisition channels and deepening partnerships. This shift not only allowed the company to focus on the core value of its charging services—promoting intrinsic growth through improved products and services—but also supported the development of a more stable and sustainable revenue model, strengthening its competitive moat.This shift is reflected in the financial data. Optimized subsidy policies contributed to an 81% year-over-year decrease in selling and marketing expenses to RMB 29.7 million (US$ 4.2 million) for this quarter. Despite reduced subsidies, NaaS’s platform achieved strong growth in transaction users in Q3.Besides, latest data also show the number of connected charging stations increased by 40% year-over-year to 96,000, and the total number of connected chargers rose by 49% year-over-year to 1.146 million, outpacing the industry’s average growth rate during the same period. Significant cut in expenses does not compromise the company’s continuous growth.AI-Driven Business Growth, Building an Industry EcosystemSince the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, the industry has been exploring how AI can empower various sectors, with the trend moving from general AI models to domain-specific applications—charging is no exception.AI can process and analyze vast datasets, including user needs, market trends, and historical transaction data, to accurately forecast supply-demand dynamics and provide personalized recommendations based on user behavior. This can significantly enhance supply-demand matching efficiency and accuracy, addressing key challenges such as inefficient matching and insufficient high-quality supply in the current charging industry.NaaS was an early adopter of AI and has demonstrated foresight in leveraging it to advance the charging industry.As early as 2016, NaaS began developing AI algorithms to improve transportation energy supply-demand matching, operational efficiency, and intelligent energy replenishment experiences. In 2023, the company launched its NEF (NaaS Energy Fintech) system based on advanced AI algorithms. This system manages station site selection, revenue evaluation, operational scheduling, maintenance, and more, enhancing the operational efficiency and financial sustainability of regional charging operators while improving the user experience.The scale of data often determines the intelligence level of AI algorithms. With its charging station network, NaaS has accumulated significant supply-demand data, providing an extensive stage for AI applications. In Q3, NaaS officially joined the AI Applications Alliance and is poised to continue unlocking the value of AI in the charging service industry, accelerating the digital transformation of the sector.Beyond AI-driven advancements, the rapid growth of EVs has facilitated the integration of ecosystem resources across the charging industry. NaaS is also building its own ecosystem around its charging services by establishing long-term partnerships with automotive OEMs, charging station operators, energy companies, and the State Grid. These collaborations expand infrastructure coverage, provide user-friendly experiences, and enhance customer loyalty.In August 2024, NaaS announced an in-depth partnership with FAW-Volkswagen to provide smart, efficient, and convenient charging experiences for NEV owners. In September, NaaS reached a strategic collaboration with IM Motors to offer enhanced service capabilities. These partnerships highlight NaaS’s ongoing efforts to expand the ecosystem in the EV charging industry, creating a comprehensive and robust service ecosystem.With the rapid growth of NEVs, the charging industry, as a critical supporting infrastructure, has entered a phase of accelerated expansion. As a "connector" in the charging service market, NaaS leverages AI-driven algorithms to continuously integrate resources from various industry participants and collaborate with ecosystem partners to build a mutually beneficial ecosystem. According to the latest financial report, NaaS has transitioned from the early "cash-burning" stage to a phase of refined operations, with its profitability model gradually being recognized by the market. The company is poised for large-scale profitability, supported by its wide network coverage, and its future development is highly anticipated. Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
