This resilience was ensured by our IDM business model. In a market increasingly characterized by efficiency-driven supply chain agility and value creation focused on differentiated technological barriers, the Group remains committed to its strategy of ‘prioritizing and strengthening core segments’, while flexibly responding to industry adjustments. By leveraging our production capacity in China on domestic demand and utilizing our capacity in Vietnam to serve global markets, we strengthened our ability to seize opportunities from the dual circulation strategy, while bolstering technical reserves to support rapid response to the needs of our brand partners. At the same time, we continued to build product advantages through breakthroughs in craftsmanship innovation, fostering deep synergies with major brand partners. This dual-track strategy of efficiency enhancement and innovation strengthened the Group’s foundation during market headwinds and ensured it is well positioned for future growth.”Business ReviewFosters synergistic development of “Better & Best” products with moderate expansion in intimate wear segmentThis business segment contributed revenue of approximately HK$4,243.4 million during Fiscal 2025, representing a moderate year-on-year increase of 3.0%. Accounting for 54.2 % of the Group’s total revenue, it remained its main source of revenue. The segment’s gross profit increased by 7.2% to approximately HK$1,047.2 million, with gross profit margin rising by 1.0 percentage point to 24.7%. During the Year, the Group continued to optimize its brand partner portfolio by focusing on the “Better & Best” product positioning and strengthening innovative synergies with quality brand partners. As a result, orders from key brand partners for innovative products developed by the Group increased significantly, partially offsetting the fluctuations in orders from a few brand partners due to adjustments in their market strategies.Global sports craze and innovative patented bonding craftsmanship drive robust growth in sports products segmentThis business segment generated revenue of approximately HK$2,934.1 million during the Year, representing a significant year-on-year increase of 26.9% and accounting for 37.4% of the Group’s total revenue. Segmental gross profit was approximately HK$652.8 million, with a gross profit margin of 22.3%. The growing popularity of sports activities around the world, sparked by international sporting events, boosted orders for sports products. In particular, the sports bra segment achieved double-digit growth. In addition, the Group’s differentiated functional apparel products, developed using its proprietary patented bonding (“Bonding”) craftsmanship, recorded strong revenue growth during the Year and became the core growth engine of the sports products segment.Dual-base operations in China and Vietnam and smart transformation boost efficiencyThe Group continued to advance its smart transformation through key initiatives such as structure verticalization, management intellectualization, equipment automation, and supply chain localization to improve production efficiency and precision in cost control. The relocation of the Shenzhen production base to Zhaoqing was completed in October 2024. Meanwhile, the relocation of the R&D department is progressing according to schedule, further strengthening the technological synergy between local innovation and production.In Fiscal 2025, the contribution of the Vietnam production base to the Group’s total revenue reached 85%. As of 31 March 2025, the Group employed approximately 31,900 people in Vietnam and approximately 4,900 people in Mainland China. In the long term, the Group will continue to leverage its Vietnam production base to meet the demands of its international brand partners in the global market, while supporting the “China for China” strategies of its brand partners with the Zhaoqing production base. This dual-track approach is expected to establish a flexible and efficient R&D and production model that caters for brand partners’ need for speed to market.VS China’s localization strategy proved effective, with e-commerce channel driving double-digit growth for the IDM businessVS China’s revenue for the Group’s Fiscal 2025 amounted to approximately HK$1,965.7, representing a year-on-year increase of 4.4%. Net profit amounted to approximately HK$85.6 million, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately HK$0.2 million. During Fiscal 2025, VS China strengthened its differentiated positioning and localized innovation advantages to precisely cater for the needs of local customers. Its core product lines performed particularly well in e-commerce channels, which led to a double-digit year-on-year growth in the Group’s related IDM business.Driving Development Through Innovation, Cost Optimization, Efficiency Enhancement, and a Diversified and Balanced Market Layout to Strengthen Risks ResilienceIn Fiscal 2026, the global market faces significantly greater uncertainty due to the impact of trade wars, with the gloomy outlook for the consumer market leading to more conservative order placements from brand partners. Meanwhile, amid intensifying competition in the supply chain, product differentiation has become key for supply chain enterprises and brands to stand out from their peers. Over the years, Regina Miracle has consistently invested in R&D innovation and established competitive advantages through differentiated technological craftsmanship and products, while improving its production efficiency and flexibility through automation, standardization and digitalization. These efforts have enabled the Group to maintain a leading position in the face of the challenging market environment.Commitment to “cost optimization and control, efficiency-driven transformation, and debt reduction” to enhance profitabilityThe Group is implementing cost optimization and efficiency enhancement measures that cover a range of aspects, from R&D and production to operations, aiming to improve organizational effectiveness and strengthen efficiency awareness among all staff to enhance the Group’s profitability. For the incremental cash flow generated by future business optimization, the Group will prioritize achieving the medium-term goal of reducing the debt ratio after rewarding shareholders, so as to enhance the capital structure. This is expected to strengthen the Group's financial resilience while balancing shareholder value and long-term business development.Leveraging leading Bonding craftsmanship to drive continuous innovative product launches and gradually increase economies of scaleDrawing on its insights into market trends, the Group has identified innovative product breakthroughs as the core engine for driving future growth. It is committed to developing high value-added products with distinctively differentiated advantages, aiming to stand out from homogeneous competition and enhance its market dominance through value creation. To this end, the Group will fully leverage its leading advantage in Bonding craftsmanship and replicate its previous success in expanding from intimate wear into the sports product segment to make further inroads into the apparel business. The innovative Bonding apparel series developed by the Group has become a flagship development project advanced in collaboration with major sports brand partners, demonstrating enormous market potential. It is poised to become a key driver of the Group’s sustained business growth, further promoting the realization of its overall economies of scale.Deepen upstream collaboration and expand market footprintIn the face of macroeconomic challenges such as trade wars, the Group will continue to deepen collaboration with strategic supply chain partners while actively introducing new, distinctive suppliers to bolster its supply chain network. In terms of geographic market layout, the Group will strive to strengthen its foothold in established markets while accelerating market diversification, with a focus on building partnerships in regions including China, Europe, and Japan. This strategy will achieve a balanced multi-regional layout and enhance the Group’s risk resilience and sustainability potential.Dedication to fulfilling environmental and social responsibilities, joining hands with stakeholders to build a sustainable futureThe Group firmly believes that environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles are critical to its long-term development. By prioritizing the four key areas of carbon reduction, waste management, sustainable innovation, and people and community, the Group is comprehensively fulfilling its environmental and social responsibilities. Based on its 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Group is committed to advancing its carbon reduction and energy conservation goals in its operations. During the Year, the Group launched the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and conducted a group-wide carbon audit to prepare for setting targets in alignment with the 1.5 degrees Celsius goal under the Paris Agreement. The Group plans to finalize its science-based decarbonization targets within the next one to two years and develop a roadmap and strategy for achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.Mr. Hung concluded, “Looking ahead to Fiscal 2026, Regina Miracle will continue to focus on core technological innovation and differentiated product categories expansion, while deepening synergistic collaboration with brand partners. Ensuring strict adherence to prudent financial management principles, the Group will rigorously implement cost optimization and efficiency enhancement measures and allocate capital selectively to optimize operational management and internal control mechanisms. The Group will comprehensively advance strategic transformation centered on efficiency-driven initiatives, prioritizing human resource development. The Group aims to strengthen its financial performance by enhancing organizational effectiveness and resource allocation efficiency. It will proactively mitigate market volatility and address environmental challenges through its multi-regional presence across China and Vietnam and its industry chain collaboration. Building on this foundation, we will expand our business scale in a considered manner and continuously consolidate our developmental foundations, while remaining committed to creating long-term value for all stakeholders.”About Regina Miracle International (Holdings) LimitedFounded in Hong Kong in 1998, Regina Miracle International (Holdings) Limited is a global leader in the intimate wear manufacturing industry.

Based on this direction, Honda has been working on the recruitment of software talent with a high level of expertise and a focus on boosting associate engagement*1 and development capability.As a part of this initiative, Honda has been continuously enhancing its workplace environment for software engineers, expanding the network of its software development operations, starting in October 2023 from Osaka, to Omiya, Shinagawa, Nagoya and Fukuoka. Honda Software Studio Osaka became operational in April 2025 by upgrading the original software development operation in Osaka, and a new development operation in Tokyo is scheduled to open in early 2026.Honda is conducting software development through collaboration between its automobile development operation in Tochigi, Japan — the center of Honda automobile product development — and its software development operations located throughout the country. By leveraging the know-how of such multi-base software development, a well-established company-wide remote work environment and the state-of-the-art facilities established at the new Honda Software Studio Osaka, Honda is realizing high productivity and seamless collaboration among all software development operations.Moreover, Honda is expecting the addition of Honda Software Studio Osaka will boost recruitment of highly talented software engineers and accelerate collaboration with academic researchers and partner companies located in the Osaka/Kansai region, which will enable Honda to create new value for its customers and society. Moving forward, Honda plans to further enhance its human resources in the area of software, by expanding Honda Software Studio Osaka to have approximately 500 associates, which makes Osaka/Kansai the second-largest Honda software development operation in Japan, after the Tokyo/Kanto region.  Key features of Honda Software Studio Osaka- A wide range of development teamsHonda Software Studio Osaka brings together a number of development teams responsible for a wide variety of technologies Honda will develop independently to realize its software-defined vehicles (SDVs) including automated driving and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS); various apps such as smart cabin apps; SoC (System on Chip), which is the hardware to run apps efficiently; and the vehicle OS which is a platform that controls the SoC and apps. - Associates with a wide range of backgroundsAs of June 2025, Honda Software Studio Osaka has approximately 100 associates, of which about 85% joined Honda through mid-career recruitment. Those associates leverage a wide variety of career backgrounds, such as system integrators*2, engineers in railroad or electronics companies, and play an important role at Honda by bringing fresh ideas and perspectives that traditional mobility manufacturers did not have. Honda Software Studio Osaka has been increasing the competitiveness of Honda products with speed by combining the expertise of associates who join Honda with experience in different industries together with in-depth knowledge about Honda technologies possessed by associates who started their career at Honda.- Adoption of Activity-based Working (ABW) to support flexible and diverse work stylesHonda Software Studio Osaka adopts Activity-based Working (ABW) style, which liberates associates from a conventional “fixed seating” style and supports more flexible and diverse ways of working. Each associate can choose the most suitable work environment based on the nature and situation of their tasks. The ABW style was adopted with an aim to enhance motivation, maximize performance and foster the flexible thinking of associates. In addition, the adoption of an office design based on the concept of “communication first,” promotes and accelerates spontaneous communication among engineers and different teams, which is expected to lead to dramatic improvement in productivity and new value creation for the entire operation. - Unique features installed based on “The Three Realities Principle”Honda Software Studio Osaka features unique workspaces such as a “project booth,” where project members can engage in discussions and work in front of the actual hardware equipment under development, and a “debug room” equipped with office facilities that enable engineers to work on actual hardware components, including a proper ventilation system to allow soldering work. Moreover, there are some parking spots secured on the basement floor to create a development environment where engineers have easy access to the finished vehicles to which the software they are developing will be applied. These unique features of Honda Software Studio Osaka will contribute to the improvement of product quality and development efficiency by accelerating software testing and debugging*3 processes and by improving the reliability of software through verification on its actual operating environment.While it is an office environment where software engineers tend to spend most of their work hours at their desk, Honda Software Studio Osaka offers a development environment where engineers can touch and test their work on actual hardware. By offering such a work environment, Honda strives to realize a fusion of cutting-edge software development and the long-cherished culture of Honda guided by “The Three Realities Principle,” which emphasizes “going to the real spot, understanding the real situation, and making realistic decisions.” About Honda Software Studio OsakaLocation:Grand Green Osaka South Building Park Tower 27th Floor, 5-54 Ofukacho, Kita-ku, Osaka City, Osaka 530-0011 JapanStart of operation:April 2025Primary function:Development of software and batteries *1 The trust, attachment, and emotional commitment between associates and the company.*2 System integrator (SIer) is a contracted development company that undertakes the entire process of system development.*3 The process of identifying and resolving bugs (errors) in a program.

為什麼我們需要恢復居家派對

(SeaPRwire) -   新的MARINA專輯中的一句歌詞讓我停下腳步:「現在派對都去哪了?」這位流行歌手在她的歌中問道。 的確如此?我心想。據廣泛報導,大型面對面社交聚會正在減少。夜總會和酒吧也確實正在掙扎。隨著深夜社交活動的普遍減少,家庭派對也變得更加罕見。總體而言,我們參加派對的次數大大減少了。根據一份來自Gallup的報告,一項2021年的調查發現,在普通的週末或假日,只有4.1%的美國人參加或舉辦了社交活動。而一項2023年的Pew Research Center研究發現,去年只有59%的美國人參加過生日派對。 當我的朋友們和我在晚上聚會時,我們會外出用餐,或者在酒吧喝一兩杯。或許是在某人家中舉行一場禮貌的晚宴。但沒有人會用他們的高跟鞋刮傷餐桌;沒有人在花園裡觀星。客廳裡音響轟鳴、走廊和臥室擠滿人的那些太平盛世般的日子,似乎越來越成為過去。 我並不完全感到驚訝。去年我步入30歲,預期著深夜樂趣會逐漸減少。我的體質已不如從前:我更容易疲憊,更容易被工作耗盡。我的社交圈大部分現在都已成雙成對,在規劃閒暇時間時,除了朋友和家人,還會考慮到伴侶。而且很快,我們許多人就會開始有孩子。想到這一切,我感到一絲遺憾。懷舊之情縈繞心頭,讓我想起凌晨兩點在朋友的廚房裡灑著酒,與衣著暴露的陌生人閒聊時的那種無憂無慮。我渴望那些我們會湧入某人家中,與熟人及朋友的朋友們交談的日子,不知道會遇到誰,也不知道我們中有些人可能會和誰親吻。我懷念那種不知道夜晚會如何結束、我們會玩到多晚的無盡感覺。回憶起那些隔天的彙報,一邊吃著培根喝著黑咖啡一邊交換故事、八卦,我會熱淚盈眶。 如今,社交活動都非常規矩:我們查閱日記來安排下次聚會,有時甚至提前兩三週。我們約定晚上10點前必須回家,以便最遲11點就能上床睡覺。這種結構總讓人感到些許窒息。它太過拘謹,太可預測。當然,當我們真的設法見面並了解彼此的生活時,那很美好。但我們見面並不是為了放鬆,也不是為了讓自發性進入我們的生活。家庭派對正提供了這樣一個空間——一旦你踏入前門,走進一群喧鬧、歡笑的人群中,你就會忘記所有的工作截止日期和待辦事項。你只是為了玩樂而來。 真正讓我感到沮喪,真正讓我驚呼並緊握我的千禧年世代珍珠的,是想到年輕一代可能根本不會體驗到家庭派對。據報導,Z世代的飲酒量不如前幾代人,而且如果TikTok上的內容是可信的,許多20多歲的年輕人正在將早睡和10步美容程序置於外出活動之上。 他們這一代人是伴隨著觸手可及的社群媒體長大的,對於許多Z世代來說,一切都關乎於外表。熬夜後再吃外賣並不是擁有好皮膚的秘訣。更不用說,在智慧型手機的海洋中,你離丟臉只差一張照片。派對減少的另一個原因是COVID-19疫情及其後續影響,至今仍在感受。許多年輕人在那些成長歲月失去了自由,轉而在家裡透過自我照護和冥想、獨自活動(如手工藝和閱讀)尋求慰藉。這就是我們應對籠罩世界的集體恐懼和焦慮的方式,我們中的任何人都很難擺脫那種心態。那種認為結構是好的,混亂則否的心態。那種為了擁有任何安全和理智的表象,健康和幸福必須被優先考慮的心態。 然後是經濟。即使你少喝酒,去酒吧或夜總會參加派對也很昂貴。交通費、如果現有衣櫥讓你感到恐懼的新服裝費、如果你喝酒的酒錢,以及回家路上買披薩的價格。我們正生活在物價危機中,看著全球經濟衰退的可能性越來越大,我們焦慮不安。我們大多數人沒有閒錢來揮霍。因此,我們的家成了日益增長的生活成本的最後避難所,我們也習慣了待在家裡以避免財務上的恐懼。我們告訴自己,錢應該留給必需品,而不是用於奢侈品。 這一切都非常理智。這一切都非常可以理解。而這一切都如此悲傷。「孤獨危機」這個詞正被越來越緊急地提出。根據全球健康服務公司Cigna的一項2018年研究,43%的參與者有時或總是感到與他人隔絕。只有53%的參與者覺得他們每天都有有意義的當面社交互動。研究還發現,Z世代感到最孤獨。理解這件事的嚴重性很重要:WHO已將孤獨宣佈為一個緊迫的全球健康威脅,並指出「缺乏社交連結的人面臨更高的早逝風險」,而孤獨「會增加心血管疾病和中風的風險」。待在家裡可能並不像年輕人想像的那樣,是通往健康與幸福之地的金票。 我們集體的電話成癮讓我們退縮到數位世界中尋求連結和社群的感覺,但「按讚」Instagram評論與和朋友跳舞不同。發送Hinge訊息也不同於在廚房檯面與一位可愛的人臉紅心跳。  家庭派對讓我們在實體上聚集在一起,並讓我們展現出最喧鬧、最混亂的自我。它們是專為輕鬆的放縱和純粹的享受而設的空間。在一個令人窒息般嚴肅的世界裡,它們顯然是不嚴肅的。我認為此刻我們都需要注入一些生活的樂趣;來激勵我們,提醒我們這個世界值得我們為之奮鬥。現在比以往任何時候都更需要,我們需要手中握著手的溫暖;突然間閃現的笑容;以及社群那種振奮、充滿活力的能量。 因為家庭派對是這樣的:如果你不想喝酒,你不需要喝酒,而且你也不需要花費一大筆錢。你甚至可以建議其他派對參與者在晚上開始時把手機放進包裡,以確保你早上不會在TikTok上爆紅。重要的是要走出去,嘗試感受無拘無束、自由自在,哪怕只是一晚。世界上最水潤的皮膚也比不上整晚的悲觀瀏覽,孤獨感緊緊拉扯著你的心。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

我們如何挑選 2025 年 TIME100 最具影響力企業

(SeaPRwire) -   「人工智慧進入實體世界」的傳聞已流傳多年,但沒有哪個例子比自動駕駛計程車公司 Waymo 更具體。雖然人工智慧驅動的計程車對許多人來說似乎很未來或令人害怕,但 Waymo 在少數幾個主要大都市中已成為一種無縫的生活方式,並已完成超過 1000 萬趟行程。今年春天,為了窺探我們的人工智慧現狀和未來,《時代》雜誌記者 Andrew R. Chow 在奧斯汀搭乘了它們,並與 Waymo 聯合執行長 Dmitri Dolgov 和 Tekedra Mawakana 進行了交談,了解該公司如何悄然佔領道路——以及它們下一步的動向。 他的報導是本週發行的第五屆《時代》百大最具影響力公司特刊封面故事的基礎。Waymo 為負責任的技術開發樹立了一個榜樣:他們以一個強大的理由(減少交通事故死亡)謹慎地開發了他們的技術,並緩慢地(以矽谷的標準來說,可謂極其緩慢)推廣它,因為他們深知一次致命的事故不僅可能意味著他們公司的終結,甚至可能是整個行業的終結。「信任難以建立,卻容易失去。」Mawakana 告訴《時代》雜誌。「我們學到了所需的謙遜程度:最終,將由乘客來決定。」 本期雜誌的第二個封面人物 Ryan Reynolds 也將他的公司重心放在建立公眾信任上,但速度卻是驚人的。行銷和製作公司 Maximum Effort 創造了「fastvertising」(快速廣告)這個詞,指在短短幾天內抓住文化時刻製作相關廣告,而正是 Reynolds 誠實、平易近人的風格贏得了消費者的信任。這很有效:Reynolds 共同擁有或已出售的公司市值超過 140 億美元;他最新的電影《死侍》去年以超過 13 億美元的票房成為有史以來票房最高的 R 級電影;而他的足球隊 Wrexham AFC 則成為英國足球史上第一支連續三次晉級的球隊。 為了挑選出《時代》百大最具影響力公司名單,我們的編輯團隊,由 Emma Barker Bonomo 領導,向各行各業徵集建議和申請,調查了我們全球的撰稿人和通訊員,並尋求外部專家的意見。沒有單一的數據點或財務指標可以成就一家《時代》百大公司。相反,我們審視了各種特質的組合,研究了影響力、創新、雄心和成功,每種特質都以當今的形式呈現。正如我們對所有《時代》百大專案所說:影響力以多種形式存在,無論是好是壞。 除了榜單上的 100 家公司之外,今年我們還推出了《時代》百大公司,以表彰在人工智慧、健康、永續發展、平等和文化領域做出有意義貢獻的五家額外傑出公司。這些公司是從那些以其大膽願景和切實成果脫穎而出的申請者中選出的。首批獲獎者是:Alphabet 榮獲人工智慧影響力獎,Illumina 榮獲健康影響力獎,Patagonia 榮獲永續發展影響力獎,Uncommon 榮獲平等影響力獎,以及 Bumble 榮獲文化影響力獎。 閱讀所有 2025 年《時代》百大最具影響力公司。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

特朗普欣然接受「老爹」暱稱 “`

(SeaPRwire) -   唐納·川普喜歡給人取綽號。給自己 (,,)。給別人 (,,)。 現在他似乎很樂意接受一個:「老爹」。 白宮週三晚上發布了一段影片,顯示美國總統出席,背景音樂是 R&B 歌手 Usher 2010 年的歌曲「Hey Daddy (Daddy’s Home)」。 🎶 Daddy’s home… Hey, hey, hey, Daddy.President Donald J. Trump attended the NATO Summit in The Hague, Netherlands. — The White House (@WhiteHouse) 這篇文章顯然是指在週三被問及川普對以色列和伊朗在達成脆弱協議後關係的看法時,似乎稱川普為「老爹」。 「基本上,我們有兩個國家長期以來一直在激烈交戰,以至於他們不知道自己在做什麼,」川普週二在離開白宮前往海牙時表示。 「老爹有時必須使用強硬的語言,」Rutte 在峰會上坐在川普旁邊說道。 VIDEO: 🇳🇱 🇺🇸 'And then Daddy has to sometimes use strong language…'He's already the world's most powerful man, but US President Donald Trump got a new nickname on Wednesday from NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte — AFP News Agency (@AFP) Rutte 早些時候讚揚了川普,根據川普發布到他的 Truth Social 平台上的簡訊,因為他週末對伊朗的三個核設施採取了行動。 當週三被問及 Rutte 稱他為「老爹」時,川普說:「他喜歡我。如果他不喜歡我,我會告訴你,我會回來,然後我會狠狠地打他。」 「他非常親切地這樣做,『老爹,你是我老爹,』」川普模仿道。 Q: NATO Chief Rutte "called you daddy earlier. Do you regard your NATO allies as kind of children?"Trump: "I think he likes me. If he doesn't, I'll let you know…He did. He did it very affectionately. Daddy, you're my daddy." Sec. Rubio in the back laughing — Olivia Rinaldi (@olivialarinaldi) Rutte 後來試圖澄清說,他並不是要稱川普為「老爹」,而是要把川普與歐洲的關係比作父親的角色。「我說的是,有時在歐洲,我聽到一些國家說,『嘿,Mark,美國會和我們在一起嗎?』我說這聽起來有點像一個小孩問他的老爹,『嘿,你還會和家人在一起嗎?』」 這不是川普第一次被稱為老爹,而且他似乎很喜歡。 在 2023 年接受前 Fox News 主持人 Tucker Carlson 的採訪時,高爾夫球手 John Daly 說他和他的高爾夫球手同伴們「希望老爹川普回來」。川普在 Truth Social 上發布了關於此事的貼文,並表示 Daly 自 1992 年兩人相遇以來就一直很棒。 Carlson 還曾在 2024 年 10 月的一次集會上將川普比作父親的角色,他將一些美國民眾比作「一個荷爾蒙上癮的 15 歲女兒」,她被允許「摔門並給你一個中指」。 「必須有一個老爹回家的時間點,」Carlson 說。「當老爹回家時,你知道他會說什麼嗎?『妳是一個壞女孩。妳是一個壞小女孩,妳現在要受到嚴厲的懲罰。』」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。 ```

This took place within an integrated operational system that reflects the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's willingness and dedication to serving the Two Holy Mosques-continuing a legacy of over 100 years of care in producing the Kiswa for the Ancient House.Holy KaabaThe Ceremony of Changing the Kiswa of the Holy KaabaThe occasion was conducted with meticulous organisation. As the previous Kiswa was carefully prepared for removal, the new Kiswa was raised and securely fastened to all sides of the Kaaba. Additionally, the door curtain embroidered with golden embellishments, lantern-shaped pieces, the belt, and samadiyah pieces were affixed-a scene embodying high craftsmanship and precision.The King Abdulaziz Complex for the Holy Kaaba Kiswa is the sole specialist entity responsible for the production of the Kiswa. The production stages are carried out within the complex through a precise production process that begins with the purification of water designated for dyeing, followed by automated weaving, printing, embroidery, and assembly. It concludes with quality assurance measures undertaken by 154 skilled Saudi specialists and technicians.During the production of the Kiswa-which weighs up to 1,415 kilograms-high-quality raw materials are utilised, including 825 kilograms of black-dyed natural silk and 410 kilograms of cotton. The Kiswa is embroidered with 120 kilograms of gold thread and 60 kilograms of silver thread. Additionally, it features 54 gold-coated pieces, comprising the belt, Quranic verses, the door curtain, lantern-shaped pieces, and embellishments surrounding the Mizab and corners.The Kiswa is adorned with 68 Quranic verses from 11 surahs, while the door curtain contains 763 words from the Quran. It is secured using 100 precisely positioned ropes, evenly distributed across all four sides of the Noble Kaaba.The Kiswa stands over 14 metres tall and is made up of five main parts-four of which cover each side of the Kaaba, while the fifth forms the door curtain, embroidered with Quranic verses in gold and silver threads, crafted using precise techniques and profound expertise.The occasion of replacing the Kiswa represents a continuation of the legacy established by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia since the time of its founder, King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Al Saud-may Allah have mercy upon him. It reaffirms the continuation of this blessed legacy under the direct care of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and his Deputy, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz-may Allah preserve them both. This initiative aligns with the national vision that emphasises excellence in the services provided to the visitors of the Sacred House of Allah.Source: https://alharamain.gov.sa/public/?page=home_enAbout the Authority:An independent body overseeing the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque.Contact:(+966) 8254241 - (+966) 0148233610Unified Contact Centre: 1966Contact InformationThe General Authority for the Care of the Two Holy MosquesMakkah(+966) 0148233610SOURCE: The General Authority for the Care of The Two Holy Mosques Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

IBI Announces 23-Fold Surge in Net Profit for FY2025

HONG KONG, Jun 26, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - IBI Group Holdings Limited (“IBI” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”; Stock Code: 1547), a company focused on investments in the built environment, today announced its audited consolidated results for the year ended 31 March 2025 (“FY2025” or the “year under review”).FY2025 was marked by a challenging global economic environment, which placed significant pressure on the construction industry and resulted in highly competitive tendering conditions. At the same time, global trade tensions triggered unexpected volatility, prompting capital flows to shift towards Asia. This trend has begun to invigorate the Hong Kong market and may help to alleviate some of the pressure on Mainland China's manufacturing sector. Coupled with a strong rebound in inbound tourism and improving market sentiment, these developments have contributed to a more optimistic local outlook. The Group remains confident in Hong Kong’s economic prospects and, with its rigorous risk management, effective cost control, and strategic focus on emerging opportunities, is well positioned to navigate the evolving landscape and drive sustainable growth.During the year under review, the Group demonstrated remarkable resilience and delivered a solid financial performance. Profit attributable to the owners of the Company surged around 23.0 times to approximately HK$8.4 million (FY2024: approximately HK$0.4 million). This increase was mainly attributable to improvement in the Building Solutions segment, the recognition of the unrealised profit generated from financial assets at fair value, and the recognition of a significant fair value loss on investment property in the previous year. Basic and diluted earnings per share was HK1.0 cent (FY2024: HK0.0 cents). The Board has recommended the payment of a final dividend of HK0.5 cents for FY2025 (FY2024: HK0.5 cents).Mr. Neil Howard, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of IBI, said, “Despite the challenging global economic environment, the Group delivered a strong performance in FY2025, with profitability rising significantly. Furthermore, towards the end of the period, the Group successfully secured four large projects with a total value exceeding the entire turnover for FY2025. This notable result highlights the effectiveness of our strategic focus, the depth of our resilience, and our ability to adapt quickly to change. Looking ahead, we will continue to strengthen our business development, respond swiftly to market dynamics, and pursue continuous improvement to drive long-term value creation and deliver sustainable returns to our shareholders.”Business Review1.ContractingIBI provides world-class interior fitting-out and building refurbishment services in Hong Kong and Macau, predominantly acting as the main contractor for clients across many industry sectors. The construction industry remained under pressure for most of the year. Although the Group completed a higher number of projects compared to the previous period, many were smaller in scale, resulting in a decline in turnover. However, through strict cost control and proactive final accounting by the commercial team, the segment delivered a solid set of results despite the challenging environment. During the year under review, the Group recorded profit from contracting of approximately HK$7.4 million (FY2024: approximately HK$15.2 million), completed 12 projects, and was awarded 13 projects.Notably, during the latter part of the period, the Group secured four large projects with a total value exceeding the entire turnover for FY2025. In May 2025, IBI entered into a memorandum of understanding regarding a potential investment in the development of a new central business district covering around 318 hectares in Manila, the Philippines. Leveraging its expertise in construction and project management, the Group will serve as project advisor, overseeing the project and providing professional advice on construction, procurement, and progress. This collaboration supports the Group’s long-term strategy and, if realised, could diversify its income streams and support long-term growth. These projects will lay a strong foundation for FY2026.In Macau, IBI secured its first project since resuming operations. The Group is actively rebuilding relationships with previous clients and aggressively tendering for new projects.2.Building SolutionsThe Group’s subsidiary, Building Solutions Limited (“BSL”), which provides products and services that enhance the performance and well-being of the built environment in order to provide modern, healthy and high-performing spaces for occupants, recorded a significant and continued improvement in its performance. During the year under review, BSL recorded a segment profit of approximately HK$0.6 million (FY2024: segment loss approximately HK$0.3 million), with sales revenue increasing by 58.2% year on year. BSL achieved profitability during FY2025, marking a significant milestone for the start-up. With continued research and identification of new products, the Group believes that the division’s reputation for delivering high-quality building products and services will achieve further growth.3.Strategic InvestmentsThe Group’s strategic investment division was established to efficiently allocate capital into new market sectors and expand its presence in the built environment. During the year under review, the strategic investments division of the Group recorded a segment profit of approximately HK$0.9 million (FY2024: segment loss approximately HK$3.2 million), which was realised from an unrealised fair value gain on its investment in a large real estate investment trust, a Hong Kong-listed company that owns and manages a diversified and high-quality portfolio. Regarding the assets in Japan, specifically the plots of land in Kutchan, Hokkaido, the Group is continuing to analyse the optimum strategy for the site, and is considering expanding the project, as the analysis indicates that a larger-scale development could provide significant economies of scale and a far greater return on investment. Moving forward, the Group will continue to explore potential investment opportunities and looks forward to announcing further successes in this area.4.Property InvestmentsThe Group’s property investment subsidiary focuses on purchasing physical real estate to generate additional income and expand the Group’s geographical presence. The property investment division of the Group recorded a segment profit of approximately HK$2.5 million for FY2025 (FY2024: segment loss approximately HK$8.1 million), maintaining a steady performance and a 100% occupancy rate. During the year under review, the Group engaged a planning architect to survey the West Wing rooftop area and prepare an initial design for additional commercial space. The Group then held a pre-planning meeting with the local government planning office, which gave positive feedback and indicated that it would not object to the construction of an additional floor. This addition would create 2,500sq ft of tenantable space, which is expected to have a positive impact on the property’s valuation.About IBI Group Holdings Limited (stock code: 1547)IBI Group Holdings Limited is a publicly listed holding company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, focused on investments in the Built Environment. The Group’s investments whilst principally centering around the role of contracting, include businesses providing innovative, high quality manufacturing and supply solutions across a diverse range of the built environment. Our mission is to deliver premium products, services and customer experiences with a strong influence of innovation, sustainability and wellness.

IBI公佈2025財年淨利潤大幅增長23倍 在充滿挑戰的環境中實現強勁業績

香港,2025年6月26日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - IBI Group Holdings Limited(「IBI」或「公司」及其附屬公司統稱為「集團」;股份代號:1547)為一家專注於建築環境方面投資的公司,今日公佈其截至2025年3月31日止年度(「2025財年」或「回顧年內」)之經審核綜合業績。2025財年,全球經濟環境充滿挑戰,為建造業帶來巨大壓力,投標情況亦變得極為激烈。同時,全球貿易緊張局勢引發市場意想不到的波動,促使資金流向亞洲。這趨勢開始為香港市場注入動力,並有望舒緩中國內地製造業所承受的部分壓力。此外,隨著訪港旅遊強勁反彈及市場氣氛改善,這些發展態勢使本港前景愈發樂觀。集團對香港的經濟前景抱有信心,憑藉嚴謹的風險管理、有效的成本控制及對新機遇的策略性把握,集團將能應對不斷變化的環境,並推動可持續增長。回顧年內,集團展現出非凡韌性,並實現穩健的財務表現。公司擁有人應佔溢利飆升約23.0倍至約8.4百萬港元(2024財年:約0.4百萬港元),增長主要由於Building Solutions分部有所改善、確認按公平值計算的金融資產產生的未變現溢利,以及確認上年度投資物業的重大公平值虧損。每股基本及攤薄盈利為1.0港仙(2024財年:0.0港仙)。董事會建議派發截至2025財年之末期股息每股0.5港仙(2024財年:0.5港仙)。IBI主席兼行政總裁Neil Howard先生表示:「儘管全球經濟環境充滿挑戰,集團於2025財年仍實現強勁表現,盈利能力顯著提升。在回顧年內後期,集團更成功獲得總價值超過2025財年的總營業額的四個大型項目。卓越的表現充分印證我們策略部署的成效、强大的韌性,以及快速應變的能力。展望未來,我們將繼續加強業務發展,靈活應對市場變化,不斷求進,以為股東創造長期價值及可持續的回報。」業務回顧1.承建IBI在香港及澳門提供世界級的室內裝修及樓宇翻新服務,主要為不同行業的客戶擔任總承建商。建築業在回顧年內大部份時間持續受壓,儘管集團完成的項目數量較去年同期有所增加,但其中多個項目規模較小,營業額因而下降。然而,憑藉集團的商務團隊嚴格控制成本及積極進行結算工作,承建分部在充滿挑戰的環境下仍能實現穩健業績。回顧年內,集團錄得來自承建的溢利約7.4百萬港元(2024財年:約15.2百萬港元),完成12個項目,獲授13個新項目。值得留意的是,於回顧年內後期,集團獲得總值超過2025財年整年營業額的四個大型項目。2025年5月,IBI就一項潛在投資訂立諒解備忘錄,以開發一個位於菲律賓馬尼拉市約318公頃的新中央商業區。憑藉在建築及項目管理方面的專業知識,集團將擔任項目顧問,監督項目,並就建設、採購及項目進展提供專業意見。此合作符合集團的長遠策略,倘若項目落實,將拓闊集團的收入來源,並推動其長遠增長。這些項目將為2026財年奠定堅實基礎。在澳門,IBI獲得重新開展業務後的首個項目。集團正與以往的客戶重建關係,並積極參與新項目的投標。2.Building Solutions集團的附屬公司Building Solutions Limited(「BSL」)提供可提升建築環境表現及福祉的產品及服務,以為用者提供現代化、健康及高性能的空間。BSL的業績持續顯著改善,於回顧年內錄得分部溢利約0.6百萬港元(2024財年:分部虧損約0.3百萬港元),銷售收益同比增長58.2%。BSL於2025財年錄得盈利,標誌此初創業務實現重大里程碑,透過持續研究及發掘新產品,集團相信此分部在提供優質建築產品及服務的聲譽將能進一步提升。3.策略投資集團成立策略投資分部旨在將資金有效分配至新的市場領域,並擴大集團於建築環境領域的影響力。回顧年內,集團的策略投資分部錄得分部溢利約為0.9百萬港元(2024財年:分部虧損約3.2百萬港元)。該分部溢利是由於集團於大型房地產投資信託基金的投資出現未實現公平值收益而實現,該香港上市公司擁有及管理多元化及優質的投資組合。就集團的日本資產而言,即位於北海道俱知安町的地塊,集團正持續對該地塊進行分析並制定最佳戰略。分析顯示更大規模的開發可帶來顯著的經濟效益及更高的投資回報,因此集團正考慮擴大此項目。展望未來,集團將繼續發掘潛在的投資機會,並期待於該領域公佈更多佳績。4.投資物業集團的物業投資附屬公司專注於收購實體房地產,以為集團帶來額外收入,並擴大其地域覆蓋範圍。集團的物業投資部於2025財年錄得分部溢利約為2.5百萬港元(2024財年:分部虧損約8.1百萬港元),保持穩健業績並維持百分之百的出租率。回顧年內,集團委聘規劃建築師對西翼屋頂區域進行勘測,並為額外的商業空間進行初步設計。隨後,集團與當地政府規劃辦公室舉行了規劃前會議。規劃辦公室給予了積極反饋,並表示不反對增建一層。此次增建將創造2,500平方英呎的可租用空間,預期將對該物業的估值產生正面影響。關於IBI Group Holdings Limited(股份代號︰1547)IBI Group Holdings Limited 為香港主板上市控股公司,專注於建築環境方面的投資。集團的投資以承建為核心,同時涵蓋多個業務範疇,提供建築環境多個領域的創新、優質製造及供應解決方案。集團的使命是通過創新、可持續發展及健康的理念,提供卓越的產品、服務和客戶體驗。有關IBI的詳情,請瀏覽網站:https://ibighl.com/.

穩定幣條例下的隱形巨頭:百仕達的真實價值

香港,2025年6月26日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 6月25日,港股國泰君安國際(01788.HK)因獲批虛擬資產交易牌照,股價出現顯著上漲,單日漲幅近200%,成交164億港元位居港股第一。這一火熱市場反應,充分顯示出投資者對香港即將於8月1日正式生效的《穩定幣條例》以及虛擬資產交易的關注和熱情。在此背景下,投資者不斷深挖港股上市公司的相關佈局,而隱藏在市場已經發掘的利好股背後,百仕達控股(01168.HK)或成為下一個市場關注熱點。從地產巨頭到科技先鋒:百仕達的戰略躍遷不同於市場的普遍認知,早在行業混沌期,百仕達便果斷開啟了戰略轉型。2013年,公司作為創始股東投資眾安在線(06060.HK)(持股5.51%),奠定保險科技基因;2017年通過合資企業眾安國際(持股43.50%)全資控股眾安銀行,於2019年斬獲香港首批數字銀行牌照。《穩定幣條例》對發行人提出了嚴格的要求,包括2500萬港元最低資本、100%儲備資產隔離及實時贖回機制等。百仕達旗下的眾安銀行,憑藉其作為持牌數字銀行的技術能力和合規基礎,已為圓幣科技、渣打銀行等機構提供法幣儲備託管服務,並成為香港金融管理局「Ensemble沙盒計劃」的首批參與者。這使其在穩定幣新規生效前,已具備一定的先發基礎設施優勢。金融科技增長極:百仕達佈局眾安生態的價值釋放作為香港八家持牌數字銀行之一,眾安銀行截至2024年末總資產達223億港幣,位居行業首位。眾安銀行擁有超過80萬零售用戶和3,000家企業客戶,其中包括200多家Web3生態企業,顯示出其在數字金融領域的強大市場滲透力。值得一提的是,眾安銀行早在2023年便提出「Banking for Web3」的戰略願景,比《穩定幣條例》出台早兩年有餘。目前眾安銀行已打通虛擬資產交易、法幣兌換與跨境支付閉環,成為亞洲首家提供多元化金融服務的持牌數字銀行。隨著政策落地,眾安銀行的技術儲備和牌照資源將全面激活。政策紅利下的爆發點:穩定幣生態的潛在影響與機遇穩定幣技術被認為有潛力顯著提升跨境支付效率,例如將傳統電匯成本從10-50美元/筆降低至1美元以下,結算時間從天級縮短至分鐘級。這為解決傳統金融體系的高成本和低效率問題提供了新的可能性。國際機構如渣打、京東等已進入金管局沙盒測試相關應用,花旗集團預測2030年全球穩定幣市場規模可能達到1.6-3.7萬億美元。在這一發展趨勢中,百仕達通過眾安銀行等平台,涉足了穩定幣生態的多個關鍵環節,包括合規託管、交易入口以及探索真實世界資產代幣化(RWA)。這種佈局使其角色從傳統地產商,擴展至參與虛擬資產基礎設施建設。其潛在的商業模式可能從依賴「土地溢價」,轉向獲取「合規服務溢價」和「交易流量溢價」。百仕達:穩定幣東風下的雙重價值驅動與重估契機當傳統券商因一張牌照暴漲時,百仕達已編織出一張覆蓋數字銀行、穩定幣基建與RWA代幣化的生態網絡。隨著香港《穩定幣條例》的實施和Web3生態的發展,百仕達憑藉其先期戰略轉型和在合規金融科技領域的佈局,該公司的投資價值已呈現出顯著的多層次特徵。當前,百仕達的市值在很大程度上仍基於其傳統地產業務的估值模型,不僅其持有的可快速變現的顯性資產受到嚴重低估,同時還忽略了其持有的眾安國際股權(價值約43.8億港元)、眾安在線股權(價值約15.6億港元)。另外,百仕達通過眾安銀行在香港金融科技、特別是即將到來的穩定幣市場中所佔據的戰略性地位,其價值也尚未被市場充分認知和定價。這種信息不對稱,恰恰為前瞻性投資者提供了潛在的價值發現機遇。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

港股「香水第一股」穎通控股(06883)今日正式掛牌

香港,2025年6月26日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 今日(6月26日),港股市場迎來「香水第一股」穎通控股(06883.HK)正式掛牌交易!這家中國頂級香水集團在招股階段已展現強勁吸引力,超額認購達36倍,更傳獲多家基金追捧,市場反應熱烈,反映投資者對其高端香水賽道的長期看好。自1987年將第一瓶香水引入中國內地以來,穎通控股已與國際奢侈品牌建立起長期合作關係 - 與InterParfums合作超過30年運營Coach、Ferragamo等品牌,與EuroItalia攜手15年打理Versace、Moschino等奢侈品牌,與頂級奢華品牌Hermès的合作年期更長達15年。這種深度綁定模式,讓穎通在中國高端香水市場佔據絕對主導地位。再觀其覆蓋廣泛的全渠道銷售網絡。公司已構建起覆蓋400+個城市、擁有8,000+家線下銷售網站的龐大銷售點,同時線上渠道亦表現出色。從百貨到化妝品連鎖店,由電商到免稅和跨境渠道,穎通旗下的品牌無處不在。全渠道的銷售策略背景下,不僅提升了品牌的市場滲透率,亦確保公司產品能夠迅速觸達消費者,滿足其多元化需求。招股書顯示,穎通控股擬將港股IPO募集資金用於收購或投資外部品牌,進一步豐富產品線。公司表示希望能與源頭方一起並購品牌,實現全球市場的共同增長。該類全球化的視野和佈局,為其未來持續增長提供了無限可能。儘管零售市場相對低迷,但穎通仍計劃未來逆市3年新增100家線下門店,其中大部分瞄準二、三線城市,避開一線城市高昂租金,同時填補國際品牌在低線城市的市場空白,同時主抓90後至00後消費群體,因其香水消費需求受經濟波動影響較小,且更傾向於「情緒價值」消費,支撐業績穩健增長。目前,中國人均香水消費金額僅為歐美市場的十分之一,這個差距預示著巨大的增長空間。隨著「悅己經濟」的興起和消費升級趨勢的持續,香水正從奢侈品轉變為日常必需品。過去三年間,公司護膚與彩妝業務展現驚人爆發力,年複合增長率高達56.1%,展現強勁的成長動能;同時維持50%以上的毛利率水準,更承諾不低於50%的派息比率。這種既能保持業務高速擴張,又能持續回饋股東的營運模式,在成長型企業中實屬難得一見,為市場提供了兼具資本增值與穩定收益的絕佳選擇。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

These forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding XCF Global's expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the Business Combination, estimates and forecasts of other financial and performance metrics, and projections of market opportunity and market share, are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (1) changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political, and legal conditions; (2) unexpected increases in XCF Global's expenses resulting from potential inflationary pressures and rising interest rates, including manufacturing and operating expenses and interest expenses; (3) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of negotiations and any agreements with regard to XCF Global's offtake arrangements; (4) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the parties to the Business Combination Agreement or others; (5) XCF Global's ability to meet Nasdaq's continued listing standards; (6) XCF Global's ability to integrate the operations of New Rise and implement its business plan on its anticipated timeline; (7) XCF Global's ability to raise financing in the future and the terms of any such financing; (8) New Rise's ability to produce the anticipated quantities of SAF without interruption or material changes to the SAF production process; (9) XCF Global's ability to resolve current disputes between New Rise and its landlord with respect to the ground lease for the New Rise Reno facility; (10) XCF Global's ability to resolve current disputes between New Rise and its primary lender with respect to loans outstanding that were used in the development of the New Rise Reno facility; (11) costs related to the Business Combination and the New Rise acquisitions; (12) the risk of disruption to the current plans and operations of XCF Global as a result of the consummation of the Business Combination; (13) XCF Global's ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination and the New Rise acquisitions, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of XCF Global to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (14) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (15) risks related to extensive regulation, compliance obligations and rigorous enforcement by federal, state, and non-U.S. governmental authorities; (16) the possibility that XCF Global may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (17) the availability of tax credits and other federal, state or local government support; (18) risks relating to XCF Global's and New Rise's key intellectual property rights; (19) the risk that XCF Global's reporting and compliance obligations as a publicly-traded company divert management resources from business operations; (20) the effects of increased costs associated with operating as a public company; and (21) various factors beyond management's control, including general economic conditions and other risks, uncertainties and factors set forth in XCF Global's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including the final proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Business Combination filed with the SEC on February 6, 2025, this Press Release and other filings XCF Global makes with the SEC in the future.
