光大永年2024年全年收入錄得人民幣45.9百萬元
香港, 2025年3月28日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 光大永年有限公司，為中國光大集團旗下物業租賃、物業管理及銷售持作出售物業公司（「光大永年」或「集團」，香港聯交所股份代號：3699）今天公佈截至2024年12月31日止年度（「回顧年度」）之全年業績。回顧年度，本集團的收益約為人民幣45.9百萬元（2023年：約人民幣46.8百萬元），較去年減少約1.9%，主要由於租金收入下跌所致。本公司權益股東應佔溢利約為人民幣25.3百萬元（2023年：約人民幣19.3百萬元），較去年增加約31.1%。溢利增加主要由於年內外匯（主要包括以人民幣以外貨幣計值的銀行存款）收益。每股基本盈利約為人民幣0.06元（2023年：人民幣0.04元）。董事會建議就截至2024年12月31日止年度派付末期股息每股人民幣1.05分（相當於1.14港仙）（2023年：人民幣0.60分），並派發特別股息每股人民幣0.34分（相當於0.37港仙）（2023年：無）。連同中期股息每股人民幣0.78分，全年股息為每股人民幣2.17分（2023年：每股人民幣1.66分）。於2024年12月31日，本集團的流動資產約為人民幣239.9百萬元（2023年： 約人民幣231.4百萬元）。流動資產增加主要由於年內現金及銀行結餘上升所致。本集團的流動負債為人民幣19.9百萬元（2023年： 約人民幣25.8百萬元）。流動負債減少主要是由於年內預收租金減少所致。物業租賃截至2024年12月31日止年度，本集團物業租賃業務的租金收入約為人民幣30.5百萬元（2023年：人民幣33.2百萬元）。由於每平方米（「平方米」）的平均租金下跌及向租戶提供租金補助，故總租金收入減少。本集團的租賃物業位於中國四川省成都市及雲南省昆明市。於2024年12月31日，本集團的物業組合包括三棟商業樓宇，即光大金融中心、光大國際大廈的部分物業及明昌大廈的部分物業，總建築面積（「總建築面積」）約為89,507平方米。物業管理服務本集團為其物業（即光大金融中心及光大國際大廈）提供物業管理服務。截至2024年12月31日止年度，本集團物業管理服務的收益約為人民幣15.4百萬元（2023年： 人民幣13.5百萬元）。年內，物業管理服務收益增加是由於餐廳收入的增加。於2024年12月31日，本集團管理的總建築面積為72,534平方米。投資物業本集團的投資物業主要包括擁有或按租賃權益持有以賺取租金收入及╱或資本增值的土地及╱或樓宇。於2024年12月31日，投資物業的公允價值為人民幣967.1百萬元（2023年：人民幣959.5百萬元），較去年增加約0.8%。截至2024年12月31日止年度，投資物業的估值收益約為人民幣6.6百萬元（2023年：約人民幣5.3百萬元）。展望回首2024年，全球經濟在經歷連續兩年放緩之後，正在回歸「正常」狀態，但增速仍然較為疲軟，增長動能減弱。然而，中國經濟在2024年上半年開局良好，儘管成長動力減弱，但經濟運行仍然相對平穩，經濟狀況持續回暖向好。隨著房地產市場投資放緩，新屋開工面積、房屋竣工面積以及新建商品房銷售面積持續放緩，物業管理行業規模增速因而受到影響。物業管理企業的發展戰略發生了重大轉變，企業未來在管理規模上的增長將不再是核心重點，而重心將逐步向服務品質和增值業務轉移。集團在過去一年商用物業受房地產市場波動影響程度相對較低，租戶及租務合同、出租率保持了相對穩定的態勢，使得集團在市場中保持了相對穩定的業績表現。展望未來，面對當前的經營環境，集團將繼續迎難而上，充分發揮與母公司中國光大集團的協同效應，借助「光大」品牌的知名度，發展多元化的增值服務。一方面，集團將致力於增加收入來源；另一方面，積極提升品牌影響力，把握行業調整期的機遇，進一步加強自身實力，鞏固競爭力及抗風險能力，力爭成為一家長期可持續發展且實力雄厚的企業。儘管2024年房地產及物業管理行業經歷了諸多挑戰，但在政策的支持與市場的逐步回暖下，集團對未來充滿信心，並將在穩健經營的基礎上，積極探索新的發展機遇，為本公司股東創造更大的價值。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
如祺出行2024年收入大增持續發力Robotaxi 或將佈局低空經濟
香港, 2025年3月28日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 3月27日，如祺出行（09680.HK）發布2024年度業績公告。2024年，如祺出行延續過往增長態勢，全年總收入達24.63億元（人民幣，下同），同比增長14%，毛利率同比大幅提升80%，全年多項核心財務指標持續改善。同時，包括網約車和Robotaxi的出行服務作為主營業務，收入同比增長21.2%。如祺出行在業績報告中稱，將繼續實施既定業務戰略，包括利用已有成功經驗將網約車和Robotaxi出行服務擴展至國際規模、提高網約車運營效率、迭代有人駕駛網約車和Robotaxi服務的混合運營模式、提供流暢Robotaxi體驗等。隨著端到端大模型技術的突破發展，有市場機構預測今年端側AI將在汽車領域落地，不僅是Robotaxi，還將有飛行汽車等AI+應用佈局。近日，如祺出行在公司官方渠道發布消息稱，正基於運營優勢探索包括飛行汽車在內的低空出行服務運營場景，打造立體化智能出行平台。收入持續三年大幅提升主營業務收入增長超20%這是如祺出行自2024年7月登陸港交所以來發布的首份年度業績公告。報告顯示，該公司出行服務及技術服務兩大核心業務均錄得增長，帶動整體收入從2023年21.61億元進一步增加至2024年24.63億元，增速達14%。其中，包括網約車和Robotaxi的出行服務作為主營業務，為如祺出行貢獻了21.99億元的收入，同比增長21.2%。對比該公司以往公開招股書及報告可見，這已是如祺出行連續三年保持總收入錄得雙位數增長，忠實且不斷擴大的乘客群及不斷增加的訂單量是推動出行服務收入增長的主要原因。截至2024年12月31日，如祺出行註冊用戶達到3,450萬，同比增長45%；全年出行服務訂單量達到1.13億單，同比增長15.7%。單量增加推動整體交易額增長8.7%至2024年的29.79億元。與此同時，涵蓋AI數據及模型解決方案和高精地圖的技術服務收入同比穩步增長2.7%。此外，該公司毛利率顯著提升，反映其盈利能力持續向好。數據顯示，如祺出行2024年毛利同比改善高達76.5%，使得期內利潤同比改善18.6%。報告提到，毛利率改善是受益於技術服務收入增加、出行服務對客戶和司機激勵減少、運營效率提升等多種因素影響。2024年，如祺出行研發開支達到1.4億元，同比增長18.8%，相關費用主要用於Robotaxi及運營領域的研發活動、Robotaxi測試人員成本等。作為國內Robotaxi第一梯隊公司，2024年如祺Robotaxi服務發展持續向好，運營範圍從廣州南沙逐步拓展至深圳寶安、南山，以及橫琴粵澳深度合作區等，成為大灣區智能網聯汽車示範應用試點互認首批合作企業。截至2025年2月底，如祺出行平台運營Robotaxi合計超過300輛；在粵港澳大灣區核心區域，自有車隊的安全運營里程超過200萬公里，已覆蓋3,000餘個站點，僅在廣州市南沙區的累計訂單量就已超過4萬單。數據閉環價值凸顯正探索低空出行服務運營基於自身的Robotaxi商業化運營優勢，如祺出行持續佈局自動駕駛運營數據解決方案。近日廣汽集團公開提及，如祺出行平台為廣汽智駕研發提供了強大的數據服務支持。廣汽透露，將建設萬卡級別的算力集群以支持千萬級場景數據訓練，並發揮在B端的運營數據優勢、在如祺出行部署超千台數據採集車，相當於擁有百萬級更優質、更有效的C端數據，可以讓廣汽能培育出性能更優的高階智駕模型。有市場人士認為，當車企快速切入AI+領域，數據、算力等重點板塊有望迎來高增長，像如祺出行此類已具備運營能力和路測數據的公司，其價值將會獲得爆發。此外，隨著端到端大模型技術的突破發展，有市場機構預測今年端側AI將在汽車領域落地，除了Robotaxi，車企還將加快佈局如飛行汽車、人形機器人等AI+應用，同時快速補齊數據、算力、算法等短板。消息顯示，如祺出行已在探索低空出行服務運營。如祺出行近日在公司官微上發布消息稱，正基於運營優勢探索包括飛行汽車在內的低空出行服務運營場景，打造立體化智能出行平台。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

周大福人壽減碳目標通過SBTi認證 鞏固對氣候行動的承諾
香港, 2025年3月28日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 周大福人壽宣佈，其碳減排目標已正式通過「科學基礎減量目標倡議」（Science Based Target initiative或SBTi）認證，這一成果彰顯了周大福人壽對碳減排的決心，並為公司持份者提供了一套可衡量的標準，以監測公司在這方面的持續努力。去年十月，周大福人壽制定與《巴黎協定》一致的科學基礎目標，並成為首家主要在大灣區營運的「銀行、多元化金融、保險業」界別的機構向SBTi提交碳減排承諾書，牽頭推動可持續發展。SBTi是一個全球性的企業氣候行動組織，旨在協助企業在應對氣候危機方面發揮應有作用。周大福人壽的目標是在2029財年，將範圍1和範圍2的溫室氣體排放量減少37.8%（以2023財年水平為基準）。此外，就範圍3的投資組合目標，周大福人壽承諾到2029財年：- 將其上市股票和公司債券投資組合中的電力行業的每兆瓦時溫室氣體排放量減少59%（以2023財年水平為基準），- 在其上市股票和公司債券投資組合中，將至少44.8%（以投資價值計算）投資於已制定SBTi認證目標的公司。以上兩項舉措將涵蓋其總投資和貸款資產的65%。周大福人壽執行董事兼行政總裁葉文傑表示：「周大福人壽深明氣候行動不僅是一項重大責任，更有助於推動意義深遠的變革。我們一直與周大福創建緊密合作，以確保一致實現2050年淨零排放目標。此次碳減排目標獲得認證，充分體現了我們在減少營運和投資組合排放量的堅定決心。這一里程碑再次證明了我們致力於建設可持續未來，同時為持份者開創保險新價值。」周大福人壽將透過以下策略和行動，實現其碳減排目標：範圍1和範圍2營運碳減排措施：- 電動車轉型：將現有的租賃或自有車隊替換為電動車。- 提升能源效率：探索提高公司各辦公室的能源效率的機會。- 購買可再生能源證書：在優先推動電動車轉型和提升能源效率的同時，周大福人壽亦將研究從本地能源供應商購買可再生能源或可再生能源證書，或為同一市場內沒有其他選項的前提下，從亞洲及其他海外市場購買國際可再生能源證書，以進一步減少範圍2的剩餘營運排放。降低範圍3中15個類別排放的措施：- 積極擁有權（Active Ownership）與參與策略：分階段實施參與策略，以促進實際減排。- 氣候融資：探索與環境、社會及企業管治（ESG）相關的產品及氣候融資機會。- 策略與治理：建立完善的管治架構，以推動氣候行動。- 政策與倡導：尋求機會建立合作與夥伴關係，以擴大影響力。周大福人壽選擇上述碳減排措施，是因為這些措施預計將對公司的氣候轉型產生最直接的影響。截至2024 年6 月，公司投資組合的碳足跡已較2023年同期的基數減少了超過15%。此外，公司已投資超過35 億港元於獲ESG 標籤的債券及減碳基金，主要聚焦亞洲市場，以支持區內綠色經濟轉型。關於周大福人壽保險有限公司周大福人壽保險有限公司（「周大福人壽」）扎根香港40年，為周大福創建有限公司（「周大福創建」）（香港股份代號：659）的全資附屬公司，也是香港最具規模的壽險公司之一。作為周大福企業成員，周大福人壽緊扣鄭氏家族（「周大福集團」或「集團」）多元業務體系的雄厚資源，致力為客戶及其摯愛家人於「生活、成長、健康、傳承」的人生旅程中，提供個人化的匠心規劃、終身保障及優質體驗。憑藉集團財務實力及環球投資佈局，周大福人壽矢志成為亞太區領先的保險公司，持續開創保險新價值。傳媒聯絡周大福人壽保險有限公司品牌發展及傳訊部陳佳容+852 2591 8504deronie.tan@ctflife.com.hk 周大福人壽保險有限公司（於百慕達註冊成立之有限公司） Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

達勢股份-達美樂中國2024年全年業績全面增長：戰略深化與效率提升共同推動盈利突破
香港, 2025年3月28日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 近期，中國消費市場在政策引導與需求釋放的雙重驅動下展現出強勁韌勁。2024年國內消費市場活力不斷增強，消費熱度持續提升。相關專家預測，2025年消費將繼續保持平穩增長態勢。在消費市場穩步增長的大背景下，達勢股份於2025年3月27日發佈全年業績，以一份兼具規模與品質的亮眼成績單，再次印證其在中國比薩市場的重要地位。2024年，達勢股份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4D戰略的驅動下，即高品質的門店開發（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盈利。公司全年收入高達43.1億元人民幣，同比增長41.4%，經調整淨利潤同比激增1,394.2%，首次實現全年報告與調整後淨利潤雙正。戰略深化：從門店到數字化的全鏈路競爭力達美樂中國的增長動能源於其對4D戰略的持續深耕。在門店開發層面，公司以"走廣走深"門店網路策略為軸，全年淨新增門店240家，新開門店近90%位於1線以外城市，總門店數在年底達到1,008家，覆蓋中國大陸39個城市。門店網路的加速擴張反映了達美樂中國對把握市場機會的強烈信心。根據Frost & Sullivan的數據，達美樂中國2024年在中國的比薩銷售額位居全國第二。截至2024年12月31日，按門店數量計算，達美樂比薩中國大陸市場已經成為達美樂比薩國際第三大市場。2025年初，南昌、煙臺等6個新城市的進駐，進一步推動全國市場佈局，展示公司擴張戰略的持續勢頭。達美樂中國發佈將在2025年新開約300家門店。自2025年初截至2025年3月14日，新開82家門店，26家門店在建，62家門店已簽約，已鎖定近56%的全年開店目標，有望按時完成其高品質開店計畫。與此同時，新城新店銷售勢頭強勁，品牌影響力逐步釋放，如瀋陽首店創下達美樂全球單店首月銷售額1,110萬元的紀錄。自2023年12月至2024年12月期間，公司在18個新城市開設的80家新店，預計平均投資回報週期在12個月內。截至2025年初，達美樂中國已經包攬達美樂全球首30日銷售排行榜前40席，印證了品牌在中國大陸城市的爆發力。在門店層面和公司層面，盈利指標均顯著改善，門店層面的經營利潤、門店層面的經營利潤率繼續增長，集團經調整淨利潤率獲近10倍提升。產品力與運營效率的協同，成為另一增長引擎。通過30餘種比薩品類與近20種餅底的創新組合，達美樂中國精准捕捉本土消費偏好，以多種特色餅底撬動年輕客群複購。由於品牌勢能強勁，新市場堂食和外帶需求高，公司為滿足消費者需求暫停了部分地點的配送服務，計畫在適當時候逐步恢復，這也將成為未來新的增長點。依託中央廚房與數字化配送體系，達美樂中國的外送承諾與供應鏈效率優化，既保障了用戶體驗，也推動了門店經營利潤率攀升至14.5%。數字化能力的突破更是一大亮點。2024年，公司接連斬獲"虎嘯獎年度品牌數字化大獎""中國數字化企業TOP20"等殊榮，數字化驅動的訂單系統與超2450萬會員的精細化運營，持續提升人效與坪效。"接二連三"（每週二和週三比薩七折優惠）和"超級周買一送一"等經典促銷活動和多項騰訊、網易等限時品牌IP聯名活動為達美樂中國進一步提升消費者好感度，加強消費者與品牌互動。在此基礎上，供應鏈的智慧化改造將逐漸壓縮成本，為盈利能力的提升提供底層支撐。行業共振：卡位千億賽道，全球化與本土化並進達美樂中國的快速增長，與行業紅利的釋放緊密交織。據華經產業研究院和中研普華數據，中國比薩市場規模預計2025年達608億元，2027年將突破771億元，年均複合增長率高達15%。而線上化的市場機遇，正為頭部品牌打開增量空間。2022年中國比薩行業線上份額首超線下（58.1%），行業將進一步加速數字化轉型。達美樂中國憑藉數字化外送體系的先發優勢，持續擴大市場份額。全球化資源與本土化創新的結合，進一步強化了競爭壁壘。背靠達美樂全球超2.1萬家門店的品牌聲譽與研發經驗，公司既能通過經典產品帶來全球化體驗，又能針對中國消費者推出定制化口味。這種"國際基因+本土運營"的模式，使其在品牌認知度與產品適應性上形成雙重護城河。未來藍圖：規模擴張與效率深化的雙重奏2024年，達美樂中國于四川成都成功開設第1000家門店，達成公司發展歷程的重要里程碑。站在千店里程碑支上，達美樂中國正加速邁向下一階段。資本市場的認可也為公司長期可持續發展注入信心。2024年，公司先後被納入恒生綜合指數及滬港通、深港通標的，並入選"2024新財富最佳港股公司"榜單，收穫"2023年度最佳IPO獎"等大獎。自2023年首次公開募股（IPO）以來，截至本文發稿日期，公司股價已從發行價46港元上漲近120%，市值突破130億港元，其流動性也獲得顯著提升。隨著行業集中度提升與消費升級趨勢深化，達美樂中國憑藉戰略定力與執行力，或將在千億賽道中持續領跑，書寫穩步發展的新篇章。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Vibe Marketing Tech Fest 2025 Will Focus on Convergence and Conversions
DUBAI, UAE, Mar 25, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Vibe Marketing Tech Fest – the Middle East’s largest marketing technology summit, will take place on April 23 and 24, 2025, in Dubai, UAE.Digitalisation has revolutionised how customers engage with brands, transforming the traditional linear funnel into an intricate web of touchpoints. Today’s customer journey is dynamic, interconnected, and far from predictable.Marketers must now navigate a landscape where customer expectations are higher, attention spans are shorter, and engagement spans across multiple platforms and moments.The 16th global edition of Vibe Marketing Tech Fest (VMF) will delve into these challenges, offering insights, strategies, and Martech solutions that empower modern marketers to adapt, innovate, and thrive in this new reality.The theme will focus on the convergence of marketing technologies, ad technologies, and ad journeys and explore how marketers need to adapt, be dynamic, and incorporate customer-centricity into their approach.Marketers must leverage the power of real-time data and technology to comprehend where a customer changes trajectory and what influences their decisions in doing so. “Customers are discerning and any disruption in convenience can hamper the path to conversions. Brands must adapt to fragmented and dynamic paths to purchase, driven by real-time data and emerging AI capabilities. Vibe Marketing Tech Fest puts the spotlight on the consumer, and how brands can navigate the changing technology landscape to deliver this convenience. With this edition, we have added themes like app marketing, ad tech integration, growth, digital marketing and retail media networks,” said Sanjay Swamy, Director at Martechvibe.Top conversations at VMF 2025 will cover:Engagement, Apps & SocialAI, Automation & TechMartech, Adtech & DataBrand Growth & RetentionThe conversations at VMF tackle real-world challenges affecting marketers today, with a look at preparing for possible scenarios in the near future. Rajesh Verma, General Manager, Middle East, Epsilon said, “We need forward-facing platforms like these to help dispel the myths that surround marketing and tech in the Middle East. Take retail media as an example; many believe retail media strategies rely solely on online behaviour and demographics, overlooking the power of transactional data, or that retail media only occurs on a retailer’s website. These gatherings provide an opportunity to educate marketers on the true potential of new media opportunities, and how to avoid the pitfalls. They foster important connections that place attendees in a much better position to navigate the complexities of the evolving landscape.”Richard Shotton, Founder of Astroten, a behavioural science consultancy and author of The Choice Factory and The Illusion of Choice, will deliver the keynote on how human decision-making remains remarkably constant in an evolving technology landscape in his session titled The Enduring Power of Behavioural Science. “It’s increasingly common to see brands and agencies incorporate consumer psychology as part of their process, although it’s not often systematically applied. There’s still an over-reliance on intuition, or when research happens, it’s based on claimed data. For example, creative routes are tested by asking people which ads they think would make them purchase… It’s not that respondents deliberately mislead researchers, just that nobody is aware of all the elements that influence their decisions. When asked, people don’t — in fact, can’t — tell you what motivates them. So, findings from a lot of market research can never uncover the whole truth. There’s still more headroom to align research with genuine motivation through the application of behavioural science.”Speakers like Scott Brinker, Sir Martin Sorrell, Brian Solis, Neil Patel, Darell Alfonso, Fernando Machado, David Raab, Rob Bloom, and Steve Lok have delivered rich sessions in the previous editions of the summit.This year’s speakers include Alexis Jean Baptiste - Chief Data & Analytics Officer | L'Oréal, James Dutton – Chief Product Officer | UM MENAT, Mai Cheblak - Vice President Group Media & Social | Emirates NBD, Marwen Ben Messaoud - Head of Growth Middle East, Africa, South Asia | Spotify, Matthew Horobin - Associate Director Customer Experience | Modon Holdings, Mustafa Bohra - Associate Director - Martech and Analytics | Careem, Nandakumar Vijayan - Global Director, Marketing & Communications | LuLu Group International, Oleg Nesterenko - Chief Marketing Officer | Storytel, Charlotte Davis | Acting Director of Retail Media | Majid Al Futtaim, Sohail Nawaz MBE - Head of Retail Media | Landmark Group, Sevgi Gur - Chief Marketing Officer | Property Finder, Rishi Gupta - Regional Director: Middle East & Africa | Nothing, and many more.For more information, visit Vibe Marketing Tech Fest 2025.About VMFFounded in 2018, Vibe Marketing Tech Fest (VMF) is one of the world’s largest and most influential marketing tech conferences.

DPC Dash – Domino’s Pizza China 2024 Full-Year Performance Soars: Strategic Deepening and Efficiency Improvement Forge Profit Milestone
HONG KONG, Mar 28, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China's consumer market has shown strong resilience, driven by policy guidance and demand release. In 2024, domestic consumer market vitality strengthened as consumer enthusiasm grew steadily, and experts predict that consumption will maintain a trend of stable growth in 2025.Against this backdrop of steady growth in the consumer market, DPC Dash – Domino’s Pizza China released its full-year earnings results on March 27, 2025, reaffirming its leading position in the Chinese pizza market with an impressive report card that combines scale and quality. In 2024, 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, achieved sustainable growth and profitability in the promising Chinese pizza market driven by its 4D strategy: Development, Delicious Pizza at Value, Delivery, and Digital. The company's annual revenues reached RMB4.31 billion, a year-on-year increase of 41.4%, and adjusted net profit surged 1,394.2% year-on-year, with the Company achieving both positive annual as-reported and adjusted net profit for the first time.Strategic Deepening: Full-Chain Competitiveness from Store Network to DigitalizationDPC Dash’s growth momentum stems from its continuous deepening of the 4D strategy. In terms of store network development, the company adopted a "go deeper, go broader" store network strategy, with a net increase of 240 stores throughout the year and nearly 90% of new stores located in cities outside of the top tier, bringing the total number of stores to over 1,008, covering 39 cities in mainland China. The accelerated expansion of the store network reflects DPC Dash's strong confidence in seizing market opportunities. According to Frost & Sullivan data, DPC Dash ranked second in pizza sales nationwide in 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the Chinese mainland market ranked as the third-largest Domino's Pizza international market by store count.At the beginning of 2025, the Company’s entry into six new cities, including Nanchang and Yantai, further expanded the national market layout, demonstrating the company's ongoing commitment to its expansion strategy. DPC Dash announced plans to open approximately 300 new stores in 2025. From early 2025 to March 14, 2025, it has opened an additional 82 stores, with 26 stores under construction, and 62 stores signed, securing 56% of its annual opening target and placing the Company firmly on track to complete the high-quality store expansion plan on schedule.Meanwhile, new stores in new cities are showing strong sales momentum, gradually enhancing the brand's influence. The Shenyang debut store set a new global record with approximately RMB11.1 million in revenue during its first month. The payback periods for the 80 new stores that opened in 18 new cities between December 2023 and December 2024 average 12 months. As of early 2025, DPC Dash holds all 40 top positions in Domino's global system for first 30-day sales, proving the brand's explosive appeal in mainland Chinese cities. Both store-level and company-level profitability indicators have significantly improved, with store-level operating profit and store-level operating profit margin continuing to grow, while adjusted net profit improved nearly tenfold.A robust product portfolio and operational efficiency synergy combine to provide another growth engine for DPC Dash. Through innovative combinations of 30 pizza varieties and approximately 20 crust options, DPC Dash accurately captures local consumer preferences, driving repeat purchases among young customers with various popular crusts. Due to high dine-in and carry-out demand in new markets, the Company suspended delivery services temporarily at some locations to meet consumers’ needs, with plans to gradually resume them at appropriate times, which also provides a potential source of future growth. Relying on central kitchens and a digital delivery system, DPC Dash’s "30-minute delivery" and supply chain efficiency optimization not only ensures user experience but also drives store-level operating profit margin up to 14.5%.A breakthrough in digital capabilities is another highlight. In 2024, the company won several awards, including the Best Digitalization Award (Food and Dining Category) at the 15th Tiger Roar Awards and Top 20 Digitalized Enterprise by CDIE 2024. The digital-driven order system and refined operations of over 24.5 million members continuously improve labor efficiency and store efficiency. Classic promotional activities such as “Crazy Tuesday & Wednesday" and "Mega Week (BOGO)" on its self-operated online ordering channels in select cities, along with multiple limited-time brand collaboration activities with Tencent, NetEase and others, further enhanced consumer goodwill and strengthened consumer-brand interaction in 2024. Additionally, the intelligent transformation of the supply chain infrastructure will gradually reduce costs, providing underlying support for profitability improvement.Industry Resonance: Positioning in the Hundred-Billion Market, Globalization and Localization Progress TogetherDPC Dash’s explosive growth is closely intertwined with the release of industry dividends. According to data from industry research reports, the scale of China's pizza market is expected to reach RMB60.8 billion in 2025 and exceed RMB77.1 billion in 2027, with a compound annual growth rate of 15%. The online market opportunities are opening up incremental space for leading brands. In 2022, the online share of China's pizza industry surpassed offline at 58.1%, and the industry will further accelerate its digital transformation. DPC Dash continues to expand its market share with its first-mover advantage in the digital delivery system.The combination of global resources and localized innovation further strengthens its competitive advantages. Backed by the brand reputation and R&D experience of over 21,300 Domino's Pizza stores worldwide, the company can bring a global experience through signature products while offering localized flavors for Chinese consumers. This “international gene plus local operation" model creates a dual moat in brand recognition and product adaptability.Future Blueprint: Dual Symphony of Scale Expansion and Deepening EfficiencyIn 2024, DPC Dash successfully opened its 1,000th store in Chengdu, Sichuan, marking an important milestone in the company's development history. Standing on the milestone of its first thousand stores, DPC Dash is accelerating towards the next stage.Recognition from the capital market also injects confidence into the Company’s sustainable development . In 2024, it was selected as a constituent stock for the Hong Kong Hang Seng Composite Index, and included in both the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect Program and the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect Program.DPC Dash was also included in New Fortune's "2024 Best Hong Kong Listed Companies" ranking, and received the 2023 Best IPO Award from China Financial Market 2024 and other accolades. Since its IPO in 2023, as of the date of this article, the Company's stock price has risen nearly 120% from the issue price of HK$46, with a market capitalization exceeding HK$13 billion. Its liquidity has also significantly improved. As industry concentration increases and consumption upgrade trends deepen, DPC Dash, with its strategic determination and execution capabilities, is positioned to continue to lead in the hundred-billion market, writing a new chapter of steady growth.
