Hua Medicine has made significant strides in the commercialization of its core product, the glucokinase activator (GKA) dorzagliatin (trade name: HuaTangNing, as well as in R&D innovation and manufacturing capacity optimization, laying a solid foundation for the Company’s long-term sustainable development.Dr. Li Chen, Founder and the Chief Executive Officer of Hua Medicine, stated: “In 2024, HuaTangNing’s market performance was very encouraging. Its inclusion in the NRDL greatly enhanced the accessibility and affordability of this innovative drug, enabling more diabetes patients to benefit. In 2025, Hua Medicine established a pharmaceutical sales and marketing team, and HuaTangNing demonstrated strong growth momentum at the start of the year. With further market expansion and increasing patient awareness, we are confident in HuaTangNing’s market growth.”“Looking ahead, the Company will continue to explore HuaTangNing’s potential in personalized diabetes treatment and diabetes complications globally. By integrating big data and artificial intelligence technologies, we aim to expand our disease areas into immune homeostasis and neural homeostasis. We are confident with the close collaboration of Hua Medicine and its partners across the pharmaceutical R&D, production, and distribution chain, we can enable more patients to access and benefit from Chinese medicines, accelerating progress in realizing our vision ‘China leading pharmaceutical innovation to advance human health.’”Summary of Clinical Research and Operational Progress- Significant Revenue Growth, Strong Market Performance of HuaTangNing, and Positive Patient Feedback- 2024 marked the first full year for which our HuaTangNing was reimbursed under the National Reimbursement Drug List (“NRDL”) in China. Sales revenue increased by 234% to RMB255.9 million for the fiscal year 2024 compared with the same period in 2023. During the fiscal year 2024, HuaTangNing was sold in approximately 2,700 hospitals across China. As of December 31, 2024, Hua Medicine maintained a strong balance sheet with a cash balance of RMB1,139.8 million to support its full-scale commercialization, business development and R&D functions.- Since the launch of HuaTangNing in the fourth quarter of 2022, our pharmacovigilance team has been diligently monitoring the safety of dorzagliatin in the China market, and was recently recognized by the National Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Center as a national example for the pharmaceutical industry. As of December 31, 2024, Hua Medicine had monitored approximately 150,000 patients who have been prescribed HuaTangNing, and dorzagliatin has been observed to be safe and well tolerated by patients.- Effective January 1, 2025, Hua Medicine assumed full responsibility for the commercialization of HuaTangNing in China from its former sales and marketing partner, Bayer Healthcare Company Limited (“Bayer”). We recruited Mr. Lu Yu, a seasoned pharmaceutical sales executive with over 20 years of diabetes commercialization experience in China, to lead our sales and marketing efforts.- For the two months ended February 28, 2025, Hua Medicine sold approximately 592,000 packs of HuaTangNing, representing approximately RMB73.2 million in net sales. During the same period in 2024, approximately 202,000 packs of HuaTangNing were sold, representing approximately RMB24.5 million in net sales, The difference represents a significant increase in sales over a period during which the price per pack remained the same. This demonstrates a smooth transition of HuaTangNing’s commercialization in China from Bayer to Hua Medicine, with reinvigorated growth momentum.- Upon the termination of the Exclusive Promotion Service Agreement, the unamortized contact liabilities amounting to RMB1,243,499,000 were released to profit or loss, and will be recognized as a gain in 2025 by the Group. Both parties have confirmed in a signed letter that there are no outstanding matters arising from such termination, nor does either party owe the other party any obligation or liabilities from such separation.- Steady Progress in R&D Innovation, Continuously Enriching Product Pipeline- Hua Medicine made significant headway in preparing the future expansion of our glucokinase-targeted, glucose homeostasis-centered therapy into the international markets, specifically the United States. We successfully completed and announced the results of its single-ascending dose (“SAD”) study in the United States of our second generation GKA (HM-002-1005), in which we validated the feasibility of dorzagliatin as a once daily oral therapy for Type 2 diabetes (“T2D”) patients. We are currently developing the clinical dosage form for advancement of HM-002-1005 in a clinical proof-of-mechanism study.- Hua Medicine also made significant progress in developing fixed-dose combination formulations. The Company has been advancing its dorzagliatin-metformin fixed-dose combination product candidate into commercial dosage development, with process validation expected to be completed in 2025.- Based on human genetic data collected from studies of patients administered with dorzagliatin, the Mendelian Randomization methodology has been applied to predict the beneficial effects of dorzagliatin on related and significant diabetes complications, such as reduction in heart failure, coronary artery disease, memory loss and dyslipidemia. In addition, a separate Mendelian Randomization study provided genetic evidence supporting the causal effects of glucokinase activation on lowering the risk of frailty. These findings suggest that glucokinase activators may aid in the management of frailty and sarcopaenia in people with diabetes. We will continue our research and development efforts to explore new indications.- Through our SENSITIZE 3 clinical study in Hong Kong, Hua Medicine is advancing the potential of dorzagliatin in prediabetes, early treatment and prevention of Type 2 diabetes. In contrast with the approved 75mg dosage form of HuaTangNing, the Company is testing new 25mg and 50mg dosage formulations to explore these potential new indications. The Company is also supporting an investigator-sponsored trial in testing dorzagliatin’s efficacy in treating MODY-2 patients who suffered from genetic mutations that de-activated glucokinase. Early studies in humans by renowned diabetes experts Dr. Juliana Chan and Dr. Linong Ji have indicated the benefit of dorzagliatin in MODY-2 patients by improving their β-cell functions and glycemic control.- Hua Medicine is also advancing the combination of dorzagliatin with GLP-1RA, DPP-IV inhibitors and SGLT-2 inhibitor through combined effects in collecting real-world evidence and proof-of-concept studies in animal models. The synergy between dorzagliatin with these agents has the potential to expand our indication into other diseases in metabolic disorders, such as obesity and MASH. - Hua Medicine will continue our engagement in diabetes prevention, opportunities in longevity and prevention of memory loss and eventually find a new way to increase healthy life span and longevity in humans.- Continued Expansion of Manufacturing Capacity, Plans to Launch Dorzagliatin in New Markets- Hua Medicine continues to invest in expanding its manufacturing capacity to meet anticipated market needs in 2026 and 2027.- Hua Medicine is also finalizing and preparing to submit registration applications for dorzagliatin to launch commercialization in the Macau and Hong Kong markets. We plan to submit both applications in 2025.- Hua Medicine continues to strengthen its intellectual property protection globally. As of December 31, 2024, the Company owned more than 200 granted patents covering its proprietary technology worldwide.Business outlook- There is a great opportunity for dorzagliatin and our 2nd generation GKA in China and the global oral anti-diabetes market. - We will strengthen our own commercialization efforts through hub and spoke development with focus on building up a strong internal sales and medical marketing organization to drive business growth in 2025. This will allow us to rebuild our strong connections directly to the medical community and better promote HuaTangNing in China and surrounding areas.- We continue to invest into digital technology platforms to create synergies across functions and enhance branding opportunities using AI technology.- We are working on the registration of dorzagliatin in HK and Macau region and engage partnerships in Southeastern Asia and Belt and Road nations. In addition, business development work on our 2nd generation GKA in regions with high incidences of obesity will be continued based on the initial success of the SAD study in the United States.Financial SummaryFor the year ended December 31, 2024:- Bank balances and cash position was approximately RMB1,139.8 million.- Total revenue was approximately RMB255.9 million, an increase of approximately 234% compared to the full year of 2023; approximately 2,105,000 packs of HuaTangNing were sold, an increase of approximately 740% compared to the full year of 2023.- Total other income was approximately RMB116.8 million, including approximately RMB95.7 million from the amortization of Bayer milestone income.- Total expenditures for the year was approximately RMB493.6 million, of which R&D expenses accounted for approximately RMB215.1 million.- Loss before tax was approximately RMB250.1 million, which was mainly attributable to the increase of selling expense and research and development expense.Forward-Looking StatementsThis document contains statements regarding Hua Medicine’s future expectations, plans, and prospects for the Company and its products.

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.

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.

Industry leaders converge to explore technology-driven strategies for enhancing customer experiencesBENGALURU, INDIA, Mar 26, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In a world where customer experience (CX) is increasingly defining business success, the Bengaluru edition of Team Marksmen Network's CX Transformation Conclave 2025 scheduled for 21st March, 2025 at Taj Vivanta, Bengaluru, proved to be a beacon of insight and innovation. Bringing together an array of industry stalwarts and forward-thinking leaders, the event delved into the transformative power of technology in shaping exceptional customer journeys, offering actionable strategies to future-proof businesses.As India continues to climb the global CX maturity ranks — standing third worldwide and leading the Asia-Pacific region, according to an industry report — the conclave highlighted the immense potential that lies in crafting thoughtful, technology-enabled customer experiences.However, despite 79% of Indian firms acknowledging CX as a revenue driver, only 17% have achieved the elusive goal of providing "exceptional" customer service. The event set out to bridge this gap, serving as a platform for industry experts to exchange ideas and chart a path toward customer-centric innovation.The day featured a series of engaging keynote addresses, panel discussions, and interactive sessions that covered diverse facets of CX transformation. Attendees gained insights into the power of omnichannel strategies, where the seamless integration of digital and physical touchpoints ensures continuity and consistency in every customer interaction. The role of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and predictive analytics was also explored, with experts showcasing how these innovations can unlock personalised, real-time experiences that resonate deeply with consumers.One of the key takeaways was the importance of balancing innovation with empathy. While technology offers endless possibilities for personalisation and efficiency, the human element remains crucial. Speakers emphasised that businesses must strive to forge genuine connections with customers, understanding their needs, emotions, and expectations to deliver experiences that are not just satisfying but truly memorable.Throughout the event, the importance of measuring and optimising CX investments was underscored. Experts shared frameworks for tracking the impact of CX initiatives on key metrics such as customer lifetime value, retention rates, and revenue growth, ensuring that businesses can continually refine their approaches for maximum impact.This industry-centric platform was brought to life by its industry partners, namely Presenting Partner NICE, AI Transformation Partner Exotel, and Associate Partner Ubona Technologies.The CX Transformation Conclave also saw a select cross-section of eminent organisations lauded for their trailblazing CX efforts. This included:Ather Energy LimitedBrick and Bolt - home and commercial constructionCashfree PaymentsElectrolux India Private LimitedFirstsourceFlipkartForce PointInfosys FinacleITC InfotechITC LimitedKapiva AyurvedaLTIMindtreePrestige GroupXiaomi Technology India Private LimitedReflecting on the event's impact, Rajesh Khubchandani, Co-Founder and MD, Team Marksmen Network, said, "The insights shared at the CX Transformation Conclave reaffirmed that customer experience is more than just a business strategy — it’s the heart of every successful organisation.

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.
