香港, 2024年9月30日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 2024年上半年，由於消費者偏好和消費習慣的變化以及競爭的加劇，餐飲行業面臨著雙重挑戰。商品成本增加和價格競爭的壓力使得行業整體盈利能力下降，多家大型餐飲企業宣告虧損。在艱難的市場環境中，达势股份（「達美樂中國」或「公司」）（1405.HK）逆勢而上，構建以高質價比為核心的競爭邏輯，將市場變化轉化為增長契機，取得了顯著成績。达势股份近期發布了2024年中期業績報告。達美樂中國作為達美樂比薩在中國大陸、中國香港特別行政區和中國澳門特別行政區的獨家總特許經營商，在2024年上半年成功實施了4D戰略，即高質量的門店開發（Development）、高質價比的美味比薩（Delicious Pizza at Value）、高效的外送體驗（Delivery）和數字化能力（Digital），在充滿潛力的中國比薩市場實現了可持續增長和全面盈利。2024年上半年，达势股份收入再創新高，達到20.4億元（人民幣，下同），同比增長48.3%。穩健的收入增長反映了公司可持續的商業模式和抗周期性的戰略佈局，持續提升了盈利能力。公司的淨利潤和經調整淨利潤雙雙轉正也反映了這一成果。2024年上半年，达势股份經調整淨利潤由負轉正，達5,089萬元，相較於去年同期的經調整淨虧損1,745萬元。此外，2024年上半年稅後淨利潤達1,091萬元，同比增長24.6%，去年同期為875萬元，其主要得益於可轉換優先普通股公允價值收益約1.19億元。公司強勁的盈利能力還體現在同店銷售增長（SSSG）上，這一指標反映了相同門店在不同年度同一時期的銷售額變化。在當前市場挑戰加劇的情況下，維持同店銷售增長具有挑戰性。而达势股份已實現連續28個季度的同店銷售增長，並持續擴展業務，展現出了強大的市場競爭力。作為全球最大比薩品牌之一達美樂比薩的獨家總特許經營商，达势股份依托這一國際化品牌優勢，成功執行4D戰略，在潛力無限的中國比薩市場中不斷取得成功。2024年上半年，达势股份繼續實施「走深走廣」策略，再拓四城，新增146家門店。截至2024年6月30日，運營門店總數已增至914家，覆蓋33個城市。自2017年現任管理團隊上任以來，達美樂中國門店數量已增長超八倍。新開門店表現優異。2024年上半年，來自新市場的收入占公司總收入的61%，新市場的門店數量也已超過總門店數量的一半，強力推進公司增長。今年5月，公司在一周內進駐台州、惠州、金華三個城市。惠州和金華首店開業即打破达势股份門店日銷售額記錄。2024年6月，公司在中國成都的第900家門店的盛大開業。截至2024年7月31日，达势股份在達美樂比薩全球系統的首30天銷售排行榜中占據了前30名中28個席位。在新進入的市場中，达势股份繼續擴大市場份額，開設更多門店，同時保持現有門店的強勁表現。從2023年12月底到2024年上半年，公司在十二座城市共開設了42家門店，其中有18家門店已實現投資回報。公司預計新店的平均回本期較過去將縮短，充分彰顯其擴展戰略的高效運作。麥肯錫《2024中國消費趨勢調研》報告分析了影響消費市場的關鍵趨勢，其中一個顯著趨勢是Z世代消費者展現出更高的消費意願，尤其是在對宏觀經濟信心較高的低線城市。這一人群更傾向於探索新的用餐體驗和當地美食，為餐廳提供了創新機會，吸引這一不斷增長的市場群體。達美樂中國的新城新店吸引了眾多消費者的目光。絡繹不絕的人潮在新店門口排起長隊，達美樂中國決定暫時關閉了部分新店的外送服務，以滿足店內用餐及外帶的客戶體驗和服務質量。顧客在達美樂比薩中國新店排起長隊達美樂中國不斷推陳出新，以更好地滿足消費者日益多樣化的口味需求，為顧客提供滿意的用餐體驗。達美樂比薩以美味比薩和創意菜單享譽全球。達美樂中國平均每6至8周推出美食新品。從2024年初到7月底，公司推出了包括三種全新比薩口味在內的多款新品，並開發了兩種創新餅底，如黑金蜜汁叉燒卷邊和爆漿椰椰南瓜雙層餅底。截至目前，達美樂中國菜單擁有超過30種比薩和約20種餅底選擇。這些豐富的選擇使得比薩成為銷售額中占比最大的品類，超過75%的銷售額占比均來自於比薩。公司最新推出「火山」餅底，塑成「火山口」造型，甄選進口奶酪醬添加奧利奧餅乾碎呈現「火山熔岩」。這一新概念在比薩行業獨樹一幟，更是獲得消費者的積極反饋和認可。達美樂比薩中國火山餅底達美樂中國還為消費者提供高質價比的菜單，並推出「接二連三」（每週二和週三比薩七折優惠）和Mega Week（買一送一）等定期促銷活動。同時，達美樂中國還與騰訊遊戲、Hello Kitty等流行品牌合作推出限時合作促銷活動，深受消費者青睞。公司通過門店網絡擴展和新市場的強勁表現，不斷增強品牌形象，使品牌營銷活動更具針對性和高效。公司不斷優化會員計劃的個性化獎勵機制，提高新客轉化率和老客留存率。截至2024年8月，达势股份的會員計劃「達人荟」取得顯著的進展，會員人數已突破2,000萬人，幾乎是2023年6月時期1,090萬人的兩倍。达势股份將繼續推動消費者的積極參與，並通過多個在線渠道吸引新消費者。為滿足日益增長的需求，公司在三河、上海和東莞三個核心地區設立中央廚房。公司已經在中央廚房引入一系列自動化設備以及先進的管理系統，提升生產效率和管理能力，並改善配送效率。达势股份4D戰略的成功實施也體現在門店和集團層面的盈利指標提升上。2024年上半年，門店層面經營利潤率從去年同期的13.5%提升至14.5%。集團層面，經調整EBITDA增長至2.3億元，較2023年上半年的1.3億元增長了83.7%。集團經調整EBITDA利潤率也提升至11.4%，與2021年底的3.9%相比增長了近兩倍。除了服務消費者，达势股份仍然致力於為股東創造長期價值。在香港聯交所上市僅一年之後，达势股份已正式被納入香港恒生綜合指數成分股，並被正式納入滬港通和深港通，該變動於2024年9月生效。9月27日，路透報導稱，"中國股市創下自2008年以來最佳周表現。"《紐約時報》指出，"向來波動劇烈的香港恒生指數本週迄今為止也上漲了12.9%，該指數包括一系列在香港和中國大陸開展業務的公司。"自上市以來，达势股份股價顯著上漲，截至9月27日收盤的十個交易日內，股價上漲超過20%。达势股份早前已透露計劃在2024年開設約240家新店，並在第四季度開設第1,000家門店。截至2024年8月20日，公司已增開31家新門店，目前另有29家門店在建設中，21家門店已簽約，正按計劃穩步向全年開店目標邁進。公司預計2025年和2026年將分別再新開設300至350家門店。麥肯錫《中國市場簡報：中國消費者重新開始消費》報告指出，2024年1至2月，餐飲收入大幅增長12.5%，相關數據表明服務業強勢復蘇，原因可能在於消費者信心開始回升且人員流動性進一步回升。這意味著消費者願意在用餐等體驗上增加花費，對餐飲業至關重要。中國市場擁有廣闊的地理範圍和龐大的人口，極具吸引力且不斷增長。在這個市場中，眾多企業都面臨著如何在確保盈利增長的同時，保持戰略穩定性和韌性的挑戰。在這樣的背景下，达势股份將繼續高效執行4D戰略，為消費者提供高質價比的比薩的同時，創造一個具有可持續性長期價值的業務模式。 Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

SYDNEY, AU, Sept 30, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - As ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) considerations take centre stage in the financial industry, Pro Visionary, a Sydney-based wealth management company, continues to integrate these principles into its investment strategies. The global shift towards sustainability is not just a trend, but a long-term transition in how businesses operate, and Australia is no exception. Pro Visionary's team has recognised the importance of ESG in shaping the future of investment portfolios, particularly within the fixed-income sector.In the Australian finance market, ESG investments have grown substantially over the past few years. The emphasis on sustainability is no longer limited to equity investments but extends to fixed-income markets as well. Bonds issued by environmentally or socially responsible entities, such as green bonds or social bonds, have been attracting considerable interest. These instruments have gained traction due to their ability to provide stable returns while addressing urgent environmental and social challenges. Recent data from the Responsible Investment Association Australasia (RIAA) indicates a rising demand for such fixed-income products, with investors seeking both financial performance and measurable societal impact.Michael White, Senior Adviser at Pro Visionary, highlighted the role that ESG plays in shaping the investment landscape. "ESG criteria have evolved into key drivers of long-term value. Integrating ESG into fixed-income strategies enhances risk management and fosters sustainable returns. Investors are increasingly recognising that incorporating environmental and social factors is no longer a compromise but a means to strengthen portfolios in the face of emerging risks."White's commentary aligns with broader market trends, where investors have noted that ESG risks, such as climate change or poor corporate governance, can directly impact the creditworthiness of issuers. In Australia, the adoption of ESG measures in fixed-income strategies has been especially relevant due to the country's vulnerability to climate risks, such as extreme weather events and their impact on industries like agriculture and energy.Mark Thompson, also a Senior Adviser at Pro Visionary, expanded on this by discussing the firm's commitment to identifying opportunities that align with sustainable development. "The focus on ESG not only contributes to the greater good but also identifies companies with strong governance and forward-looking strategies. This helps manage risks that traditional models may overlook. Furthermore, fixed-income products like green bonds offer avenues to support infrastructure projects aimed at decarbonising industries, which will be critical in the years ahead."Thompson's perspective is increasingly echoed by many Australian investors who are aware of the need for sustainability within their portfolios. With the Australian government placing stronger emphasis on sustainable finance through various policy frameworks, this creates a conducive environment for further growth in ESG-related investments, including within the bond market.Pro Visionary's approach involves a careful evaluation of ESG factors at every level of the investment process. By doing so, the firm seeks to provide investors with exposure to assets that not only offer solid returns but also contribute positively to societal outcomes. The firm has implemented stringent evaluation criteria for bonds that promote environmental sustainability and social responsibility, aligning with global ESG standards.While ESG-focused investments are still evolving in the fixed-income space, Pro Visionary believes that the momentum is only set to grow. "Incorporating ESG into fixed-income investments doesn't just align portfolios with values-it builds resilience. As regulatory frameworks tighten and consumer expectations shift, investment portfolios that ignore ESG risk lagging behind," commented White.As Australia's financial landscape adapts to this ESG wave, Pro Visionary remains committed to identifying fixed-income opportunities that align with both the financial goals and ethical standards of investors.

HONG KONG, Sept 30, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In the first half of 2024, the restaurant industry faced significant challenges due to shifting consumer preferences, changing spending habits and intensified competition. The increasing cost of goods and fiercely competitive pricing have resulted in an overall decline in industry profitability, with several large-scale restaurants reporting losses. Despite this challenging environment, DPC Dash ("Domino’s Pizza China" or the "Company") (1405.HK) has leveraged these changes as a catalyst for growth, developing a new competitive edge focused on high quality-to-price ratios, allowing the company to flourish against prevailing trends.DPC Dash, Domino's Pizza's exclusive master franchisee in the China Mainland, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China, and the Macau Special Administrative Region of China, has successfully implemented its 4D strategy of Development, Delicious Pizza at Value, Delivery, and Digital. This approach has driven sustainable growth and profitability in the underserved Chinese pizza market in the first half of 2024, as reported in the company’s recently released interim financial report.In the first half of 2024, DPC Dash generated record-high revenue of RMB2.04 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 48.3%. This steady revenue growth reflects DPC Dash’s sustainable business model and resilient counter-cyclical strategy, which have significantly improved its profitability.The Company’s financial improvement is demonstrated by its positive adjusted net profit and net profit after tax. Adjusted net profit turned positive in the first half of 2024 to reach RMB 50.9 million, compared to an adjusted net loss of RMB17.4 million in the same period of 2023. The company also reported a net profit after tax of RMB10.9 million, a 24.6% year-over-year increase compared to RMB8.8 million of the same period of 2023, positively impacted by the fair value gain of approximately RMB119.3 million on convertible senior ordinary shares.Another testament to the company’s strong profitability is its same-store sales growth (SSSG), which compares the sales generated by same stores during the relevant period year-on-year. In the face of recent market challenges, it is extremely difficult to maintain positive SSSG momentum. DPC Dash has demonstrated its ability to deliver sustainable growth, achieving 28 consecutive quarters of SSSG, while continuing its expansion efforts.As a franchisor of Domino’s Pizza, Inc., one of the world’s largest pizza companies, DPC Dash leverages this global strength to execute its 4D strategy, which continues to drive the company’s success in the underserved China pizza market.DPC Dash has continued to execute its “go-deeper, go-broader” strategy, as DPC Dash added 146 stores and entered 4 cities in the first half of 2024. Total stores reached 914 across 33 cities as of June 30, 2024. This represents more than an eightfold increase in store numbers since the current management took over in 2017.  Newly-opened stores have been delivering exceptional performance. In the first half of 2024, revenue generated from new growth markets accounted for 61% of the total revenue, making new growth markets the Company’s main growth driver. Store numbers in the new growth markets exceeded 50% of all stores. At the beginning of May, DPC Dash expanded its presence by entering three new cities: Taizhou, Huizhou, and Jinhua in one week. The first stores in Huizhou and Jinhua both broke the DPC Dash record for daily sales. In June, DPC Dash celebrated the grand opening of its 900th store in Chengdu, Sichuan. As of July 31, 2024, DPC Dash held 28 of the top 30 positions for first 30-day sales among Domino's stores globally. In newly entered markets, DPC Dash continues to expand its presence with more stores opening, while maintaining strong performance in existing stores. Among 42 stores the Company opened in 12 new cities from the late December 2023 through the first half of 2024, 18 stores have already achieved payback. The Company is expecting a shorter payback period on new stores than previously, reflecting the efficiency of its expansion strategy.A McKinsey report identifies several key trends shaping consumer behavior, including a notable rise in engagement among younger consumers, especially in lower-tier cities where confidence remains relatively high. This demographic is more inclined to explore new dining experiences and local cuisines, providing restaurants with opportunities to innovate and attract this growing market segment. The newly-opened stores of DPC Dash in new markets have enjoyed great popularity, with people forming long lines at new locations. In response, DPC Dash actively suspended delivery services for selected new stores to cater to the high demand for in-store dining.Long queue in front of Domino‘s Pizza store in China MainlandDPC Dash has continuously innovated its product offerings and services at value to better serve customers’ evolving tastes and provide satisfying dining experience. Domino’s Pizza has established a global reputation for tasty pizza products and very innovative menus. The company introduces new stock keeping units (SKUs) every six to eight weeks, on average. In the first seven months of 2024, DPC Dash introduced three new pizza varieties and two new crust options, such as barbeque pork stuffed crust and coconut and pumpkin double decker.Now the menu boasts over 30 pizza varieties and approximately 20 crust options, with pizza sales contributing more than 75% of the total sales. DPC Dash recently launched the new Volcano crust, filled with oozing cheddar cheese magma and Oreo crumbs. This unique concept in the pizza industry has already garnered positive feedback and recognition from the customers.Volcano Crust from Domino’s Pizza ChinaAt the same time, DPC Dash has been offering value options on its menu with regular promotions on “Crazy Tuesday & Wednesday” and the “Mega Weeks”. Limited-time promotions partnering with popular brands cross sectors, such as Tencent Games and Hello Kitty, have also proven attractive to customers.Meanwhile, brand marketing activities have become more targeted and cost-effective as the company strengthened its brand through network growth and strong performance in newly-entered markets. The Company has continuously enhanced its offering of personalized rewards, improving both new customer conversion and existing customer retention. As of August 2024, DPC Dash’s loyalty program has surpassed 20 million members, nearly doubling from 10.9 million members in June 2023. The Company continue to drive customer engagement, attracting new customers by dynamically engaging them through multiple online channels.To cater to the surging demand, DPC Dash has set up central kitchens in Sanhe, Shanghai and Dongguan. In the central kitchens, the Company has already introduced automated machines to further boost production efficiency and management capability, as well as to improve delivery efficiency. The success of the 4D strategy execution is reflected in enhanced profitability metrics on both store and group levels. The store-level operating profit margin increased to 14.5% in the first half of 2024, up from 13.5% in the same period last year. The store-level EBITDA margin increased to 19.3% in the first half of 2024, up from 18.7% in the first half of 2023. At the group level, group adjusted EBITDA reached RMB233.4 million, representing an 83.7% year-over-year increase from 127.0 million in the first half of 2023. Accordingly, group adjusted EBITDA margin rose to 11.4%, nearly tripling from 3.9% in year end of 2021.In addition to serving consumers, DPC Dash remains committed to delivering long-term value to its shareholders. Only one year after its successful listing on Hong Kong Stock Exchange, DPC Dash has been officially included in both the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect Program and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Connect Program, and has been selected to be a constituent stock for the Hong Kong Hang Seng Composite Index, effective in September. Reuters reported on September 27, "China stocks record best week since 2008." The New York Times stated, "The volatile Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong, which includes a range of companies with activities in Hong Kong and in mainland China, was also up 12.8 percent this week." DPC Dash's stock has experienced substantial growth since its IPO, increasing by over 20% in the past ten trading days as of September 27.DPC Dash has announced plans to open approximately 240 new stores in 2024, and will open its 1000th store in the fourth quarter of 2024. As of August 20, 2024, the Company has opened an additional 31 stores, with 29 stores under construction, and 21 stores signed, putting it on track to meet its full-year opening target. The company expects to open approximately 300 to 350 stores in both 2025 and 2026.The early months of 2024 have shown a remarkable 12.5% increase in foodservice sales, indicating a robust recovery in the hospitality sector, according to a report from McKinsey & Company. This surge reflects increased consumer confidence and a return to dining out as pandemic restrictions ease, suggesting that consumers are willing to spend more on experiences such as dining, which is crucial for the restaurant industry.Amid the attractive, growing market with its vast geographical scope and population, companies are striving for profitability and growth that requires more stable and resilient strategies. DPC Dash will continue to execute its 4D strategy in an efficient manner, aiming to deliver delicious pizza at value to customers, and sustainable long-term value for all stakeholders.

SYDNEY, AU, Sept 30, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - SSLTrust, a leading global provider of digital certificates for public key infrastructure, has identified the APAC region as needing a new local issuing Certificate Authority.Verokey LogoVerokey, the new Australian Issuing Certificate AuthorityCurrently, in the APAC region, SSLTrust has been pushing international Certificate Authority products for Australia to the forefront, which has been welcomed by customers but with limited acceptance, mainly in terms of price. So launching a new Australian-based issuing Certificate Authority, Verokey, using the same infrastructure, has been very well accepted by customers to overcome that hurdle. Verokey has proven instrumental in fundamental security for Australian and Asia Pacific businesses and government entities while providing the best solutions at affordable prices. This success is in addition to SSLTrust's customer-centric approach to PKI solutions and their implementation.Unlike many other Certificate Providers in Australia and the Asia Pacific, we can provide customers with a high level of local support via phone, email, online chat and onsite assistance. We help customer manage all their Certificates through their very own feature-rich account while benefiting from the lower priced Verokey productsSSLTrust's Managing Director, Paul Baka, explains how this lets users have quality products to the likes of other Certificate Authorities but with an added level of quality support and better local pricing - a feature that's not otherwise readily available in Australia.Purchasing Certificates to secure networks, devices, websites, and more has historically been a significant headache for Australian organisations, with the costs constantly rising and exceeding allocated budgets. In the last two years alone, customers of the overseas-based Certificate Authorities have seen price increases upward of 50%. And when organisations weigh these against the benefits, they start to question the requirements of these higher-priced solutions. That is where Verokey helps by providing the same solutions and products (sometimes exceeding current offerings) while still keeping the prices affordable so organisations can maintain their security and meet budget limitations.Paulunderscores the company's unwavering commitment to meeting unique customer requests. This dedication to customer satisfaction is a key differentiator for SSLTrust, setting it apart from other resellers or Certificate Authorities and reassuring customers that SSLTrust is always ready to go the extra mile to meet their requirements, making them feel accommodated and understood.Critical features of SSLTrust's repertoire of products through the new Verokey Issuing Certificate Authority include (but are not limited to):More competitive prices than were previously available in APACRapid service and streamlined issuance processesPKI Certificate Lifecycle Management SolutionsAmple support systems provided by web security expertsAs the importance of digital trust increases, so does the value of high-end SSL/TLS certificates and their ease of management.Keyko Press Release: (+61) 02 8123 0992Contact InformationHollie AcresAccount Managerinfo@keyko.com.au+61 2 8123 0992Related FilesverokeySOURCE: SSLTrust Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
