- Dorzagliatin (trade name: HuaTangNing, world's first dual-acting glucokinase activator (GKA), successfully entered China’s National Reimbursement Drug List for Basic Medical Insurance, Work-related Injury Insurance and Maternity Insurance (the “NRDL”) at the end of 2023. Hua Medicine worked with sales promotion partner Bayer Healthcare Company Limited (“Bayer”) and 80 Tier 1 distributors to begin the pharmaceutical market entry in 31 municipalities and provinces in China.- The new NRDL became effective on January 1, 2024. In the first half of 2024, the sales volume of dorzagliatin increased significantly. As of June 30, 2024, sales of HuaTangNing  reached 846,000 packs with a sales revenue of RMB102.7 million. The sales revenue increased by 46%, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2023.- Dorzagliatin experienced a fast entry into hospitals, especially in Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin where the government policies support market entry for novel new drugs. By the end of June 30, 2024, dorzagliatin was prescribed in over 2,100 hospitals and over 2,900 pharmacies. Dorzagliatin was sold principally through hospitals (approximately 72% of total sales), with the remainder of sales through pharmacies (20%) and internet drug stores (8%).- Gross profit in the first half of 2024 is RMB47.8 million, representing a gross profit margin of 46.5%. Bank balances and cash position increased by 51.9% to approximately RMB1,338.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2023.- Dorzagliatin manufacturing capacity continues to expand, with the expectation to reach 3 million packs in 2024. New processes for larger capacity have been established with our partners and are under regulatory review for production permit.- Post marketing clinical studies proceeded at an accelerated rate, in which HMM0601 enrolled 1,368 patients and HMM0701 enrolled 102 patients. HMM0601 is designed to evaluate the long-term safety of dorzagliatin by collecting 1-year clinical safety data in 2,000 T2D patients and HMM0701 is a prospective real-world study to explore dorzagliatin’s clinical beneficial effects on the improvement of glucose homeostasis, cognitive function and diabetes remission. A good drug safety profile for dorzagliatin has been observed since its commercial launch in October 2022 – a time span of over 20 months and approximately 100,000 patient exposure.- Two Mendelian randomization studies conducted by our collaborating Hong Kong-based clinical investigators, and published in Cardiovascular Diabetology showed that glucokinase activation can lead to long term benefits in reduction of risks in cardiovascular diseases and dyslipidaemia. New clinical indications shall be further explored with our commercialization partner.HONG KONG, Aug 30, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) -  Hua Medicine (the "Company", HKEx: 2552) today announces the unaudited consolidated results of the Company and its subsidiaries for the six months ended June 30, 2024 (the "Reporting Period"), and the Company’s business progress for the first half of the year and business outlook.Dr. Li Chen, the founder and CEO of Hua Medicine, said, “The first half of 2024 marks a milestone for the commercialization efforts of Hua Medicine. Dorzagliatin's successful inclusion in China’s National Reimbursement Drug List has significantly improved patient accessibility and affordability. Against the backdrop of comprehensive support from the national and local governments for the development of the biopharmaceutical industry, and with the joint efforts of the Company, commercial partners, and production partners, the production capacity of dorzagliatin is rapidly increasing, accelerating its entry into hospitals and pharmacies nationwide to benefit more patients. With the continued growth in the number of users, the safety of dorzagliatin has been well validated, and its economic and social benefits have also greatly increased, instilling confidence in the Company's future development. Through sales expansion and operational optimization, we hope to achieve profitability for the Company by 2025. Currently, Hua Medicine is also conducting basic and clinical research on dorzagliatin globally, aiming to continuously expand its indications and target populations, explore new disease areas, and promote human health and well-being.”Progress of Clinical Research and Company Operations- During the first reporting period under the NRDL, dorzagliatin experienced a fast entry into hospital and pharmacies, especially in Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin where the government policies support market entry for novel new drugs. The number of hospitals prescribing dorzagliatin exceeded 2,100 in the first half of 2024.- Revenue of dorzagliatin reached RMB102.7 million in the first half of 2024 and is expected to continue to grow in the second half of 2024. As we build off our new foundation under the NRDL, we plan to leverage our well-established partnerships to enhance the dorzagliatin manufacturing process, which is expected to lead to efficiencies, expanded capacity and reduction of cost of goods.- We continued our post marketing clinical studies at approximately 80 hospitals to better understand the benefits dorzagliatin provides to patients with Type 2 diabetes and T2D complications, such as memory loss and diabetes kidney disease. Through our collaboration with our clinical research partners in Hong Kong, we have discovered that glucokinase (GK) activation may bring the benefits of reduction of risks in cardiovascular disease, and dyslipidemia. These results (applying the Mendelian Randomization (MR) methodology) certainly expand our understanding of the benefits of GK activation through dorzagliatin and for uncovering new indications of dorzagliatin in the future. Mendelian Randomization (MR) is a statistical method that uses genetic variants to investigate the causal effects of exposures (e.g., treatments) on outcomes (e.g., diseases). Its unique advantage lies in its reduced susceptibility to confounding and time-related biases compared with observational studies, which is achieved by leveraging the random allocation of genetic variants at conception. In evidence-based medicine, the credibility of evidence from MR is considered to be among the highest, second only to that of randomized controlled trials.- We have advanced our post-marketing real world evidence (RWE) studies HMM0601 and HMM0701 in T2D patients in China, and HMM0123 in Hong Kong, China. In these studies, we are collecting evidence in medical practices for optimization of glucose homeostasis either through dorzagliatin alone or in combination with standard care T2D medications such as metformin, DPP-IV inhibitors, SGLT-2 inhibitors, GLP-1RA and insulin. These results create new evidence for dorzagliatin in the expansion of its indication in diabetes prevention and remission.- We are continuing our drug development pipeline with focus on the fixed dose combination (FDC) of new drug candidates. The new drug Dorzagliatin-Metformin FDC entered manufacturing process validation and our plan is to launch this new medicine for Type 2 diabetes in 2028. Additional new FDC drugs with dorzagliatin will be developed for T2D patients, tailored specifically to address T2D patients with associated complications such as obesity and diabetes kidney disease.- To further leverage the unique advantage of dorzagliatin in restoring GLP-1 secretion in patients with diabetes and obesity, Hua Medicine initiated its Phase I study in the United States with our 2nd generation GKA. The trial has been proceeding smoothly and has already completed dose escalation in three cohorts of T2D patients in the United States. The topline data is expected to be available in the fourth quarter of 2024, supporting future drug development.- At the American Diabetes Association (ADA) Annual Meeting 2024, Hua Medicine reported new scientific data supporting the combination of dorzagliatin with a SGLT-2 inhibitor which led to improvement in glycaemic control. Combination of dorzagliatin with chronic kidney disease (CKD) medicine, such as SGLT-2 inhibitor, empagliflozin, in mid to late stage diabetes kidney disease patients, offers new opportunity to expand dorzagliatin’s indication.- We are exploring more drug repurposing opportunities for dorzagliatin using MR framework, such as renal diseases, neuropathy related diseases, eye related diseases, cognitive disorders, and cancers. Animal studies shall be further performed to validate the promising findings.- We are continuing to optimize our protein allosteric modulation technology (PAMT) and expansion from positive allosteric modulator (PAM), such as GK positive allosteric modulator dorzagliatin, to negative allosteric modulator (NAM) in kinase and G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) proteins. The GK NAM program advanced to the pre-clinical candidate (PCC) selection stage and final optimization of the PCC to clinical candidate for congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI), and potentially for dyslipidaemia. We continue to advance mGLUR5 NAM program for its clinical potential in Parkinson’s disease (PDLID), Fragile X syndrome (FXS), and drug addiction.Financial highlightsAs of June 30, 2024,- Bank balances and cash position was approximately RMB1,338.8 million.- Total revenue generated by the Company was approximately RMB102.7 million, reflecting sales of approximately 846,000 packs of HuaTangNing .- Total other income was approximately RMB55.1 million, of which approximately RMB47.8 million was attributable to the amortization of Bayer milestone income.- Total expenditures was approximately RMB245.9 million, of which approximately RMB119.8 million was attributable to research and development expenses.Forward-looking StatementThis article contains the statements regarding the future expectations, plans and prospects for Hua Medicine and the investigational product.

香港, 2024年8月30日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) — 2024年8月28日，复星国际（HKEX: 0656）公布2024年中期业绩。报告期内，总收入保持增长，达人民币978.4亿元；产业运营利润保持增长，达人民币34.7亿元，归母净利润为人民币7.2亿元。复星国际董事长郭广昌在29日上午的业绩发布会上表示，「上半年，尽管宏观环境充满挑战，我们坚定执行聚焦主业战略，围绕形成优势的产业赛道，打造行业数一数二的好公司、好产品，总体来看卓有成效。我们将持续聚焦创新、聚焦全球化，同时注重轻资产运营，以具备竞争优势的核心能力驱动长远发展。」今年以来，国内经济恢复不稳固，国际市场持续波动，让包括复星在内的中国企业面临诸多挑战。复星持续推进战略聚焦，以核心能力驱动企业发展，实现核心产业提质增效，资产底盘保持稳健。分析人士认为，从复星中期业绩报告释放的信息来看，复星聚焦家庭消费核心产业，先人一步推进创新和全球化，这一战略持续为复星夯实业务底盘，带来可预期的稳定赢利；同时，这两年复星积极推进轻资产运营，优化资产组合，持续降低杆杆，现金储备充裕，财务安全垫日渐厚实，有望推动市场对复星的价值进行重估。全球化和创新「先人一步」，打造「数一数二」的企业和产品      今年上半年，复星四大核心子公司——复星医药、豫园股份、复星葡萄牙保险、复星旅文，总收入达人民币721.7亿元，占集团总收入的比重达到74%。复星聚焦主业的效果进一步显现，其在医药、旅游、消费、保险等核心产业赛道的优势持续提升。在上述核心赛道，通过多年努力，复星已打造出多个在行业排名前列的「数一数二」的企业和产品。例如，复星医药位列中国医药工业百强第二名，今年上半年也连续第三年入选全球药企管线规模前二十强；复宏汉霖是首个在港股赢利的中国创新生物制药公司，旗下多款自主开发的单抗生物类似药，引领中国生物医药行业快速发展，首款重磅产品汉利康是首个获批上市的国产生物类似药；复星葡萄牙保险在葡萄牙保险市场市占率保持第一，在全球葡语区保险市场居前列；智造板块的翌耀科技是全球领先的自动化和数字化企业。此外在快乐业务板块，复星旅文旗下Club Med是精致「一价全包」度假的全球领导者；三亚亚特兰蒂斯是国内领先的高端综合度假旅游目的地，推动海南旅游进入3.0时代；豫园旗下老庙黄金，是中华老字号，更是享誉全国的珠宝品牌。这些在各自行业「数一数二」的企业和产品，帮助复星持续巩固在相关产业的领导地位。对复星而言，稳健赢利的增长来自两个方面，一是创新，一是全球化。在当前国内经济「内卷」的大环境下，「出海」成为企业界的「必答题」。但复星早在2007年便启动全球化征程，在海外摸爬滚打17年，今天已成为植根中国的标杆性的全球化企业之一、在全球超过35个国家和地区拥有深度产业布局。17年出海征程里，复星捕获了很多成功的项目，也遇过很多挑战，最重要的意义在于锻造了国内企业稀缺的全球化能力，并在全球打通不同市场、不同业态和资源，实现了全球布局、全球运营和全球发展，全球化深度运营能力持续提升。有一组数据非常能阐释情况，2024年上半年，集团海外收入达人民币458.7亿元，同比增长4%，占总收入的比重上升至47%，近半收入来自海外，这在中国企业中并不多见。更重要的是，复星在全球化过程中积极推进旗下企业生态赋能与协同，旗下海内外成员企业在全球化研发、业务拓展、运营及投融资等方面取得多项进展。上半年，复星旗下企业的生物药出海再获突破。复星旗下的复宏汉霖，自主开发的汉曲优获得美国食品药品监督管理局批准上市，成为在中国、欧盟、美国获批的「中国籍」单抗生物类似药；中国首个生物类似药汉利康获得秘鲁药监局批准上市，成为继汉曲优和汉斯状后，复宏汉霖第三款海外获批上市的自研药品。再如复星旅文Club Med地中海俱乐部在全球运营67家度假村，2024年上半年营业额再创新高，达人民币88.9亿元，同比增长10.3%。其中，欧非中东及美洲区持续增长，亚太区复苏显著。2024年5月，Club Med 在阿曼签约中东首个度假村。复星葡萄牙保险，从葡萄牙出发积极拓展海外市场，今年上半年取得葡萄牙境内和国际业务双增长，海外业绩占比进一步提升，国际业务录得总保费欧元8.85亿元，占比超过30%；国际业务净利润约欧元0.51亿元，占比超过40%。复星旗下全球领先的自动化和数字化企业翌耀科技，也在静悄悄推进海外拓展，2024年上半年海外新增订单达到人民币39.9亿元，其中美国市场订单大幅增加，新增订单达到人民币7.5亿元，同比增长超过一倍。创新同样是复星长期积累并始终坚持的核心能力。报告期内，复星持续深化科技与创新能力，创新投入达人民币35亿元；全球视野下的整合式创新模式更加成熟，一批突破性成果正持续为复星带来稳健赢利，成为复星的增长动力。从创新药研发方面来看，复星医药共有4个产品共9项适应症获批上市，4个产品共9项适应症进入上市前审批/关键临床阶段，9项产品（按适应症计算）获批开展临床试验。复宏汉霖自主研发并生产的创新生物药不断取得突破性进展，全球首个一线治疗小细胞肺癌的抗PD-1单抗汉斯状已获批4项适应症，累计惠及患者超7.5万，对外授权覆盖美国、欧洲、东南亚、中东和北非等70多个国家和地区。此外，新一代口服血小板生成素受体激动剂（TPO-RA）苏可欣新适应症也获得国家药监局批准。尖端医疗器械及创新疗法的布局也取得新进展。2024年6月，直观复星总部产业基地在上海启用，是直观医疗在亚太地区最大的研发、生产和培训一体化基地，达芬奇手术机器人国产化显著提速。直观复星Ion支气管导航操作控制系统也于2024年3月通过国家药监局批准，并于7月上市。       「轻资产运营」打法成型，价值重估可期得益于业务面的坚实支撑，复星财务面也持续改善。报告期内，复星持续优化资产组合，降低杆杆，财务状况保持稳健。截至报告期末，集团调整后总债务占总资本比率为50.2%，维持了2020年以来的下降趋势；调整后NAV为每股港币17.4元，显示当前复星国际股价被严重低估。复星也在积极夯实财务安全垫，保持充裕的现金储备。这次报告期内，复星国际现金、银行结余及定期存款达到人民币1095.5亿元，较2023年底增加人民币约171亿元。上市17年来，累计分红港币256亿元，分红率逐渐提升，近五年分红率在20%及以上。就在 2024年6月，国际评级机构标普也充分肯定复星财务战略成效，确认评级展望为「稳定」。在通过持续的创新和全球化实现稳定赢利的同时，复星面对新的市场环境，也继续推进「瘦身健体」，陆续退出一些非核心产业，同时积极推进「轻资产运营」，打法也逐渐成型。2024年5月，复星出售德国私人银行HAL 99.74%股份，引起市场关注，交易完成后，复星将不再持有HAL股份，但全额保留HAFS基金服务业务，以轻资产运营模式，管理约千亿欧元资产。在文旅赛道，复星的轻资产运营模式成效显著，Club Med、三亚亚特兰蒂斯、太仓阿尔卑斯等IP成为国内旅游行业标杆。报告期内，Club Med采用租赁及管理模式的度假村占比为85%，自持度假村占比降至15%。2024年4月，复星旅文在丽江地中海国际度假区打造的全新IP——阿美泽雪山营地对外开放后，迅速火爆「出圈」，带动度假区内Club Med丽江度假村与丽江地中海棠岸度假酒店入住率显著提升。2024年6月，复星旅文还携手太仓市政府共同打造一站式冰雪主题旅游度假目的地太仓阿尔卑斯国际度假区二期。该项目总投资超人民币50亿元，由太仓市政府平台出资打造，由复星旅文运营管理。此前复星旅文对阿尔卑斯雪世界的成功运营，为二期项目提供了信心和动力，该项目有望打造多项「世界雪场之最」。与此同时，复星携手合作伙伴打造了一批产业基金，深度布局优势产业。2024年3月，复星医药依托在生物医药领域的领先优势，联手深圳市引导基金等其他七方投资人，共同出资设立人民币50亿元生物医药产业基金，募集资金全部投资于生物医药、细胞和基因等领域。复星医药旗下复健资本通过深圳市公开遴选中标，独家管理该基金。4月，深圳市政府与复星签署战略合作框架协议，双方集聚优质创新资源，进一步加强在生物医药、文体旅游、时尚消费等领域的合作。也是在2024年4月，复星创富联合武创投、武汉基金，设立人民币30亿元产业基金，首期规模人民币11亿元。这是湖北省设立人民币200亿元政府引导基金以来，第一只出资的市场化基金，主要聚焦新一代信息技术、双碳、智能制造、大消费四大赛道。面对当前的市场环境，可以预计，未来复星仍将积极推进轻资产运营，持续扩大「朋友圈」，加强与各方深度合作，通过优势互补，实现共赢。多位市场分析人士认为，复星通过创新和全球化的核心战略，推动业务实现持续稳定盈利，通过退出非核心产业、轻资产运营，持续降债等措施，保持财务面的稳健，有望推动市场对复星的价值重估。郭广昌认为，未来投资者会更加看重核心产业增长和现金流的稳健，「一次性的资产出售都是短期的，核心业务的成长，才是企业稳健赢利的核心因素」，复星希望打造一个聚焦核心产业的家庭消费产业集团，产业的发展和赢利更可预期。无论是集团层面还是每一块业务，都要给客户、投资人提供风险可控、能稳健成长的企业价值。 Copyright 2024 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

Despite the presence of economic headwinds, the Group’s core business continues to demonstrate a growth trajectory.While the implementation of the Waste Charging was postponed during the Period, the Government has significantly increased its efforts to increase various types of recycling spots through recyclers. For example, the addition of night mobile food waste recycling spots to facilitate citizens’ recycling, with improvement in terms of quality and quantity, which directly brings growth impetus to the Group’s recycling business. Therefore, the postponement of Waste Charging has no adverse impact on the Group’s recycling business, and on the contrary, results in an increase in business. In the long run, waste reduction and recycling will help achieve the Government’s goal of “Zero Landfill”, and benefit the development of the Group’s recycling and green technology businesses.”Looking forward, the Group will continue to increase the market share of its core businesses and proactively engage in expansion in Hong Kong and beyond.

香港, 2024年8月29日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) — 碧瑶绿色集团有限公司（“碧瑶”或“集团”；股份代号：01397.HK）欣然宣布截至2024年6月30日止六个月（“期内”）之未经审核之中期业绩。期内，集团收益约12.9亿港元，较去年增加约16.6%，主要由于集团清洁、废物处理及回收业务持续增长所致。期内溢利约为25.8百万港元，较去年同期增加约18.5%。整体毛利增加约12.4%至约97.1百万港元。业务回顾及展望2024年上半年，集团成功获得共14.8亿港元新合约，成功将集团的手头合约由2023年12月31日约44.3亿港元增加约3.8%至约46.0亿港元（截至2024年6月30日），为2024年下半年及日后年度，迎来可观的收益增长。清洁作为集团的核心业务，继续于期内录得增长，收益较去年同期增加20.1%至约10.3亿港元，占集团总收益约80.2%。清洁业务毛利增加7.6%，至约66.4百万港元，主要由于集团与香港特区政府（“政府”）各部门及不同机构的新清洁服务合约所致。集团为政府辖下的街道清洁服务版图，覆盖全香港共七区，服务人口约280万，标志碧瑶于香港清洁服务市场的领导地位。集团为食物环境卫生署管理政府场地清洁服务版图，覆盖全港七区。另外，集团亦为政府多区辖下的街市及康乐场地提供清洁服务，覆盖全港各大区，其他清洁场地亦遍及各大医院、政府诊所、香港国际机场、学校、屋苑及私人机构等众多不同场景，显示集团的专业服务广受认可。废物管理及回收方面，期内收益录得增长，同比增加约7.4%至约1.47亿港元，占集团总收益约11.4%。废物管理回收业务的毛利增加约60.7%，至约19.2百万港元，主要由于“塑胶回收先导计划”进入收成期，以及相关政府合约增加回收点及收入所致。集团期内为政府辖下的五区提供废物收集服务，服务人口约160万，亦为香港数千个回收点（包括塑胶、玻璃樽、金属、废纸及厨余），连同公共场所及学校的回收箱，提供收集服务。期内，集团继续为环境保护署（“环保署”）的“塑胶回收先导计划”服务合约，为香港多区提供塑胶收集服务。此外，集团亦为香港众多环保署辖下的“绿在区区”回收环保站、智能回收机及不同机构提供回收服务，负责香港多区的玻璃容器收集及处理，以及厨余收集服务。绿色科技业务方面，集团结合多项先进的智能数码科技和物联网技术，推出了智能回收系统。透过一站式管理及大数据分析平台，即时了解回收机的情况，并可根据回收量，灵活调配运输，减少物流成本和不必要的碳排放。集团现时为环保署提供智能回收机，以及为私人屋苑提供智能厨余回收机。目前智能回收机及智能厨余回收机已遍及香港不同角落，每日24小时为市民提供便捷的回收体验，并有助提升香港整体回收量。政府现正积极透过回收基金和环境及自然保育基金，向私人屋苑提供全面的财务支援，作安装厨余回收机之用。在政府大力宣传所创造的市场需求下，预计为集团厨余回收机以及相关智能科技业务，带来庞大商机。随着市场对智能回收的需求日渐上升，集团计划把握智慧城市发展的契机，致力扩大智能回收机及智能厨余回收机的市场份额。此外，政府积极推展“塑胶饮料容器及纸包饮品盒生产者责任计划”，计划今年将条例法案提交立法会审议，预计2025年推出。贯彻“污染者自付”的原则和“环保责任”的理念，相信有助大幅增加塑胶饮料容器及纸包饮品盒的回收率。受益于该计划，预计将直接拉动碧瑶回收量，为集团多年来于回收服务建设的投资及竞争壁垒，提供吸引回报。期内，集团与怡和机器有限公司合作位于香港屯门环保园的生物炭工厂已试营运，通过热解技术将园林废料转化为高质量生物炭以作各种应用，从而达到“转废为材”的目的。香港在绿色和可持续金融的领域紧贴国际趋势，加速朝着国际绿色金融中心的方向迈进。为配合可持续发展的需求，集团将可持续发展概念注入核心业务和营运范畴，致力为客户提供一站式及多元化绿色环境服务及可持续采购方案。未来，碧瑶将投放更多资源在人力培训及绿色采购。同时，集团透过提供废物审计服务，提供废物成份数据，协助企业客户了解产出废物的可回收量，实现可持续发展的目标。园艺方面，集团为启德体育园、中西区海滨长廊及屯门震寰路宠物共享公园提供园艺工程。集团园艺服务的客户广泛，涵盖大型私人住宅、政府处所、学校、商场、酒店、机场、香港科学园、香港科技大学及岭南大学等。虫害管理方面，集团期内继续为黄大仙区及大埔区提供虫害管理服务。此外，集团分别为古物古迹办事处辖下29个古迹及华人庙宇委员会辖下24间庙宇，提供白蚁防治及监测服务。政府正全速发展北部都会区，预计众多公营房屋陆续落成，其中古洞北以及粉岭北新发展区的公共屋邨，预计于2026年开始陆续入伙。北部都会区全面发展后，可提供约50万个新增房屋单位，相信为集团多个核心业务带来契机。碧瑶主席吴永康先生指：“政府高度重视环境议题，碧瑶主要业务与民生息息相关，属社会刚性需求，不受经济环境影响。即使在经济疲弱下，集团核心业务依然持续增长。尽管期内垃圾征费暂缓推行，但政府明显加大力度通过回收商，增加各类回收点，例如加设夜间厨余回收流动点，方便市民进行回收，不论质和量均有提升，直接拉动集团的回收业务，带来增长动力。所以，暂缓推行垃圾征费不单对集团回收业务没有构成负面影响，反而业务有所增长。长远而言，减废回收有助实现政府中「零废堆填」的目标，有利集团回收及绿色科技业务的发展。”展望未来，集团在致力提高各核心业务的市场份额的同时，积极于香港及以外地区扩张。同时因应集团的发展，适时寻找潜在的并购、合营、或新业务项目，加速未来业务增长，为股东缔造可观及长远回报。有关集团2024年度中期业绩公告详情，请浏览以下网址：http://www.baguio.com.hk/zh-HK/Investor%20Relations/Announcements%20and%20Notices ~ 完 ~碧瑶绿色集团简介：碧瑶绿色集团（股份代号：01397.HK）成立于 1980 年，为香港最大的综合环境服务集团之一，提供环卫保洁、资源回收、循环再造、废物管理、绿色科技、有机肥料及动物饲料生产、园艺绿化工程及害虫防治等。集团为不同领域的客户提供服务，包括政府部门、各大机构及跨国企业。集团努力不懈地提升环境、社会及管治(ESG)的表现，以推进集团的可持续发展，以实现将香港推动成为更清洁、更绿色、更健康城市的愿景。 Copyright 2024 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Aug 29, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Noah Holdings Limited ("Noah" or the "Company") (NYSE: NOAH and HKEX: 6686), a leading and pioneer wealth management service provider offering comprehensive one-stop advisory services on global investment and asset allocation primarily for Mandarin-speaking high-net-worth investors, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter of 2024.Noah recorded total net revenue of RMB 616 million in the second quarter of 2024. The wealth management business generated net revenues of RMB 416 million, while the asset management business reported net revenues of RMB 192 million.Strategically Overseas Expansion and Comprehensive investment SolutionsNoah’s overseas expansion is gaining momentum as client demand for global asset allocation strengthens, with overseas net revenue contribution increasing to 46.3% in the first half of 2024 and asset under management increasing 14.1% year-over-year during the quarter. Noah also raised US$ 338 million for overseas private equity, private credit, and other primary market funds year-to-date, a significant 40.2% year-over-year increase.Income from operations was RMB 134 million, an increase of 10.3% sequentially, with an operating margin of 21.8%, an increase from 18.7% in the first quarter of 2024. These results directly reflect the early success of Noah’s strategic transformation as it implements effective cost control measures, restructures its domestic business, and accelerates its expansion overseas."The pace of our overseas expansion is gaining momentum," said Zhe Yin, the Chief Executive Officer of Noah Holdings. "Our team of overseas relationship managers directly supporting this expansion grew 101.8% year-over-year and 24.2% sequentially during the quarter. While we are still in the relatively early stages of our overseas expansion, these results reflect the direction we are headed in going forward.”“Domestically, we are focused on stabilizing operations by streamlining our branch network to reduce overhead costs and adjusting our client service model to comply with evolving regulatory requirements by separating relationship and business development managers into different independent business units. While these initiatives may temporarily impact business activity over the next few quarters, they will ensure our ability to effectively and compliantly serve clients with a comprehensive portfolio of products in the long term. I am pleased with the progress we have made this quarter in expanding overseas, and confident in both our long-term growth potential and ability to consistently generate returns for shareholders."As of June 30, 2024, the number of overseas registered clients increased by 6.7% sequentially 23.0% year-over-year to 16,786, further reflecting the growing demand for overseas asset allocation. Notably, the number of overseas diamond and black card clients saw an even more substantial year-on-year increase of 14.2%.The Company also observed a shift in product preferences, a trend that aligns with the forward-looking strategies outlined in Noah's Chief Investment Office’s (CIO) house view. Interest in investment products increased substantially as a result of expectations for a potential Federal Reserve rate cut during the second half of the year. Known for its expertise and ability to offer clients alternative investments on a global basis, Noah is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this opportunity to grow its USD AUA.As of June 30, 2024, Noah’s overseas relationship manager team grew to 113, a 24.2% increase sequentially. This expansion reflects Noah’s commitment to building a robust presence in key international financial hubs, and enhances its ability to serve high-net-worth clients with comprehensive global investment solutions.Prioritizing Shareholder Interests and Delivering Sustained ReturnsAs part of its commitment to enhancing shareholder returns, the board of directors of the company authorized a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to US$50 million of its American depositary shares or ordinary shares, effective immediately. The authorized term for carrying out this share repurchase program is two years.Noah announced in November 2023 that a new capital management and shareholder return policy (the “Policy”) had been adopted, pursuant to which up to 50% the Company's non-GAAP net income attributable to shareholders of the preceding financial year will be allocated to a Corporate Actions Budget which will serve various purposes, including dividend distribution and share repurchases. The share repurchase program announced on August 29 2024 does not form a part of the Corporate Actions Budget under the Policy. The Corporate Actions Budget based on Noah’s financial performance in 2024 is expected to be determined and announced alongside the Company’s earnings results for the fourth quarter and full year ending on December 31, 2024.Ms. Jingbo Wang, co-founder and chairwoman of Noah, commented, “This share repurchase program, along with the dividend payout we just completed, reflects our unwavering commitment to prioritizing shareholder interests and delivering sustained returns. While China’s wealth management industry is navigating a challenging period and undergoing a transition, we remain confident in Noah’s unique advantages stemming from our deep understanding of Mandarin-speaking high-net-worth individuals’ (HNWI) needs and our ability to deliver products and services to this still-growing client base. We are one of a few independent firms that maintains access, through years of investor education, to a large group of qualified individual investors who continue to seek professional services.”“As such, we believe that our stock is deeply undervalued and does not reflect our growth prospects, robust balance sheet and cash reserves, or the special bond we have formed with the Mandarin-speaking HNWIs globally. We value both our long-term and new shareholders and are committed to sharing our success with them through more proactive capital allocation policies moving forward.”Strengthening Commitment to ESG PrinciplesIn the first half of 2024, Noah published its 10th Annual environmental, social, and governance (ESG) report, highlighting its decade-long commitment to corporate responsibility and sustainable practices. Additionally, Gopher Asset Management, Noah's asset management arm, also joined the latest Nature Responsible Management initiative, Spring, announced by Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) in 2024, reinforcing its role in driving responsible investment practices in order to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030.By aligning with the PRI, Noah reaffirms its commitment to integrating ESG factors into its investment processes, fostering sustainable and responsible investment practices that benefit all stakeholders.Noah continues to adapt and evolve amidst a challenging market environment. The Company’s strategic initiatives, focused on global expansion, technological innovation, and sustainable practices, are beginning to yield tangible results, laying a strong foundation for continued success in the years to come.
