With its strong track record, Genetec is confident in its ability to continue to build trust and secure recurring business from its clients. Its high client retention rate stands as a testament to its exceptional performance and has been a key factor in the Company’s success. This strong foundation enables the Company to broaden its scope and product offerings with other divisions within the organisation of its existing clients to grow revenue over the long-term. At the same time, the Company’s business development team continue to explore new opportunities in new markets and industries, leveraging on its extensive experience and proven success working with leading international and reputable clients.Genetec’s Battery Energy Storage System (“BESS”) business is slowly gaining traction as it executes smaller-scale but strategically significant projects in both domestic and international markets. The Company remains confident that its execution capabilities and international track record will position Genetec favourably. Market developments such as the government’s recently announced Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS) through interest in pairing BESS technology with solar projects, will also support demand for BESS moving forward, and is a step in achieving 70 percent renewable energy in the capacity mix by 2050[1].Moving forward, Genetec remains committed to its strategy and focus on operational efficiency, strict cost management. With its low gearing levels and recent sale of subsidiary CLT Engineering Sdn Bhd to add to its already strong cash position, Genetec is positioning itself to ramp up operations in the coming months.About Genetec Technology BerhadGenetec Technology Berhad is a technology leader in providing customised full turnkey smart factory automation manufacturing lines.

「依拉環素臨床應用綜合評價項目」終期報告發佈

上海, 2024年11月26日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 雲頂新耀(HKEX 1952.HK)是一家專注于創新藥研發、臨床開發、製造和商業化的生物製藥公司,今日宣佈由國家衛生健康委抗菌藥物臨床應用與耐藥評價專家委員會發起並主辦的「依拉環素臨床應用綜合評價項目」總結會在北京舉行,並發佈了項目終期報告。該項目旨在對我國新型抗菌藥物用於感染治療的臨床綜合評價,進一步促進新上市抗微生物藥物在臨床應用中的合理性,為國家制定相關政策提供數據支持,更好地服務于患者。終期報告顯示,經依拉環素治療3天時的整體有效率為91.1%,治療結束時的總治療有效率為90.1%。抗微生物藥物耐藥性(Antimicrobial Resistance,AMR)是21世紀全球最嚴峻的健康挑戰之一。世界衛生組織(WHO)稱,到2050年,每年可能約有1000萬人死於AMR,這也將超過癌症的死亡人數,使得AMR成為致死的主要原因。依拉環素臨床應用綜合評價項目自2023年9月23日啟動,於2024年11月完成項目數據收集。項目共採集病例3369例,來自全國231家醫院的839位醫生。總結會上共發佈六份終期報告,包括一份總項目數據分析報告以及五份專科報告。數據顯示,依拉環素主要用於病情複雜的感染患者,3369例病例來源科室中,ICU最多,其次為血液科,分別占46.8%和23.6%;從感染類型來看,肺炎最為常見,占比62.5%,肺炎合併血流感染和肺炎合并腹腔感染分別占比7.1%和5.0%;在2373例單一病原體感染中,鮑曼不動桿菌最為常見,占比52.0%,其次為肺炎克雷伯菌,占比26.1%。依拉環素治療的這些病例中,體外藥敏結果顯示:鮑曼不動桿菌對亞胺培南和美羅培南的耐藥率分別為92.9%和90.3%,肺炎克雷伯菌對亞胺培南和美羅培南的耐藥率分別為82.0%和82.1%(根據CLSI折點)。依拉環素對單一感染病原體的鮑曼不動桿菌和肺炎克雷伯菌敏感率分別為95.5%和92.5%(根據ChinaCAST折點)。臨床療效分析顯示,依拉環素治療3天時的整體有效率為91.1%;治療結束時整體有效率為90.1%,患者平均3.2天退熱;從病原體分析來看,依拉環素對不同病原體的治療結束時有效率分別為大腸埃希菌94.0%、鮑曼不動桿菌91.4%、肺炎克雷伯菌91,2%,嗜麥芽窄食單胞菌90.3%;治療結束時微生物學整體有效性評價顯示,其總有效率為90.7%;從第30天感染轉歸來看,總臨床有效率為85.9%;患者預後分析顯示,患者好轉出院率為83.0%。研究中,依拉環素安全性良好,總體不良反應發生率僅2.7%。綜上所述,依拉環素在治療來自ICU、血液科、移植科、呼吸科等多個科室的感染患者,尤其對於碳青霉烯耐藥的鮑曼不動桿菌、肺炎克雷伯菌等多種病原體導致的肺部感染患者中,顯示出良好的療效和安全性。雲頂新耀首席執行官羅永慶表示:「依拉環素臨床應用綜合評價項目終期報告的發佈具有里程碑式意義,報告表明依拉環素(依嘉(R))抗菌譜廣、抗菌活性強、治療多重耐藥菌所致感染的臨床療效顯著,不良事件發生率低,為臨床積極應對多重耐藥菌感染威脅提供了有力武器。目前,抗微生物藥物耐藥性已被WHO列為全球十大公共衛生威脅之一,到2050年,每年可能導致1000萬人死亡,超過癌症的死亡人數,成為致死的主要原因,給人類健康帶來沉重負擔。作為全球首個且唯一的全新一類的抗菌藥物—氟環素類,依拉環素已獲得國內外多個治療指南/共識的推薦,並被列入最新2024 WHO更新的具有重要醫學意義的抗微生物藥物清單。未來,隨著更多真實世界研究的開展和臨床用藥經驗的積累,依拉環素還將展現出更廣闊的應用前景,我們也將致力於讓依拉環素精准惠及更多感染患者。」「依拉環素臨床應用綜合評價項目」總牽頭人、北京協和醫學院臨床檢驗診斷學系主任徐英春教授表示:「依拉環素臨床應用綜合評價項目採集病例涵蓋了多個科室,這一數據集的規模與完整性在國內和國際同類研究中居於領先地位,為深入理解感染性疾病的治療與抗菌藥物管理提供寶貴的實證基礎。依拉環素在耐藥菌感染治療中的有效性,特別是在重症和血液科的應用,為患者帶來了良好的臨床獲益,終期報告驗證了依拉環素的療效和安全性,期待未來有更多的患者從中獲益。」此前,「依拉環素臨床應用綜合評價項目」中期報告在今年8月份公佈,療效分析顯示依拉環素在ICU和血液等科室,尤其是鮑曼不動桿菌、肺炎克雷伯菌等病原體所致肺部感染方面,顯示出良好的有效性和安全性。依嘉(R)於2023年3月獲得中國國家藥品監督管理局(NMPA)的批准,並于當年7月成功商業化上市,抗菌譜覆蓋臨床常見包括多重耐藥菌在內的革蘭陰性菌、革蘭陽性菌、厭氧菌,以及包括耐藥肺炎支原體在內的非典型病原體,被列入2023版中國《耐碳青霉烯革蘭陰性菌(CRO)感染的診療與防控指南》等多項臨床指南和專家共識。2024年3月,WHO更新了「醫學上重要的抗微生物藥物」(Medically Important Antimicrobials,MIA )清單,基於氟環素對四環素側鏈的全新改造使其在耐藥機制上有了很大變化,WHO將氟環素單獨歸類為新的抗菌藥物類別,依拉環素為該類中唯一藥物。關於依嘉(R)(依拉環素)依嘉(R)(依拉環素)是全球首個氟環素類抗菌藥物,用於治療包括臨床常見多重耐藥菌在內的革蘭陰性菌、革蘭陽性菌、厭氧菌等所引起的感染。依嘉(R)目前已在美國、歐盟、英國、新加坡、中國大陸、中國香港和中國台灣地區被批准用於治療複雜性腹腔內感染(cIAI)。依嘉(R)是雲頂新耀從Tetraphase製藥公司(為Innoviva, Inc.的全資子公司)授權引進。關於依拉環素臨床應用綜合評價項目該項目由國家衛生健康委抗菌藥物臨床應用與耐藥評價專家委員會發起並主辦,北京康盟慈善基金會、北京生命綠洲公益服務中心共同承辦,旨在對我國新型抗菌藥物用於感染治療的臨床綜合評價,進一步促進新上市抗微生物藥物在臨床應用中的合理性,為國家制定相關政策提供數據支持,更好的服務于患者。如需瞭解依拉環素臨床應用綜合評價項目終期報告的更多信息,請訪問項目官方網站:http://www.kangnaiyaopingjiawei.com/?page_id=1751。關於雲頂新耀雲頂新耀是一家專注于創新藥和疫苗研發、臨床開發、製造和商業化的生物製藥公司,致力於滿足亞洲市場尚未滿足的醫療需求。雲頂新耀的管理團隊在中國及全球領先製藥企業從事過高質量研發、臨床開發、藥政事務、化學製造與控制(CMC)、業務發展和商業化運營,擁有深厚的專長和豐富的經驗。雲頂新耀已打造多款疾病首創或者同類最佳的藥物組合,公司的治療領域包括腎科疾病、感染性和傳染性疾病、自身免疫性疾病。有關更多信息,請訪問公司網站:www.everestmedicines.com。前瞻性聲明本新聞稿所發佈的信息中可能會包含某些前瞻性表述,乃基於本公司或管理層在做出表述時對公司業務運營情況及財務狀況的現有看法、相信、和現有預期,可能會使用「將」、「預期」、「預測」、「期望」、「打算」、「計畫」、「相信」、「預估」、「確信」及其他類似詞語進行表述。這些前瞻性表述並非對未來業績的保證,會受到風險、不確定性及其他因素的影響,有些乃超出本公司的控制範圍,難以預計。因此,受我們的業務、競爭環境、政治、經濟、法律和社會情況的未來變化及發展等各種因素及假設的影響,實際結果可能會與前瞻性表述所含資料有較大差別。本公司及各附屬公司、各位董事、管理人員、顧問及代理未曾且概不承擔更新該稿件所載前瞻性表述以反映在本新聞稿發布日後最新信息、未來項目或情形的任何義務,除非法律要求。 Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Propel Global Reports Encouraging 24.2% Growth in Revenue to RM34.3 Million in Q1 FY2025 ACN Newswire

Propel Global Reports Encouraging 24.2% Growth in Revenue to RM34.3 Million in Q1 FY2025

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 26, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - PROPEL GLOBAL BERHAD ("Propel Global" or the "Group”), a provider of oil and gas (“O&G”) services, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 (“Q1 FY2025”). The Group recorded revenue of RM34.3 million for the quarter ended 30 September 2024, reflecting a 24.2% increase from RM27.6 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous year (“Q1 FY2024”).Ms. Angeline Lee, Executive Director, Group Chief Executive Officer of Propel GlobalThe Group achieved revenue growth in Q1 FY2025, driven primarily by the Oil & Gas (“O&G”) segment, which contributed RM20.3 million. This performance was supported by ongoing Engineering, Procurement, Construction & Commissioning (“EPCC”) and Marine Heating, Ventilation, and Air-conditioning (“HVAC”) projects. While the segment’s profit before tax (“PBT”) moderated to RM1.4 million compared to RM5.0 million in Q1 FY2024, this was primarily due to a foreign exchange loss of RM1.1 million from the depreciation of the US Dollar and the absence of one-off gains recorded in the previous year, amounting to RM2.8 million.The Technical Services (“TS”) segment achieved impressive revenue growth, reaching RM11.2 million, up from RM8.6 million in Q1 FY2024, reflecting progress on the construction of an electronics factory in Chuping, Perlis. Although the segment posted a marginal loss before tax (“LBT”) of RM0.2 million, this was mainly due to increased material and operational costs, which the Group is actively addressing to enhance margins moving forward.The Information and Communications Technology (“ICT”) segment continued its steady performance, contributing RM2.8 million in revenue and RM0.6 million in PBT. This reflects the success of the Group’s diversification strategy and its ability to capitalise on growth opportunities in the digital technology sector.For Q1 FY2025, the Group reported a LBT of RM4.0 million, compared to a PBT of RM0.9 million in Q1 FY2024. This was due to higher corporate administrative expenses, including professional charges and staff costs, along with a fair value loss of RM0.5 million on quoted shares and goodwill impairment losses of RM0.2 million. The absence of one-off gains recorded in the previous year further impacted the overall comparative performance.Despite these challenges, the Group remains well-positioned for future growth, with total equity of RM102.5 million and cash and cash equivalents of RM19.8 million as of 30 September 2024. This robust position enables PGB to invest in strategic initiatives and confidently navigate market uncertainties while maintaining a focus on long term value creation for stakeholders.Ms. Angeline Lee, Executive Director / Group Chief Executive Officer of Propel Global commented, “Our Q1 FY2025 results highlight the resilience of our business amidst external challenges. While foreign exchange losses and the absence of one-off gains impacted our profitability, our revenue growth reflects the strength of our core operations and ongoing diversification efforts.”She added, “With our increased stake in Best Wide Engineering Sdn. Bhd. (“BWE”) to 90.0%, we are well-positioned to capitalise on opportunities in the oil and gas sector, particularly as Petronas continues its RM60 billion capital expenditure. Additionally, our focus on HVAC services aligns with Malaysia’s sustainability goals under the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) and Budget 2025, positioning us to meet the rising demand for energy-efficient solutions.”The Group remains optimistic about its growth prospects in fiscal year 2025 (“FY2025”). In the O&G segment, Petronas’ substantial investments, including RM10 billion in recently awarded contracts for Maintenance, Construction, and Modification (“MCM”) projects, provide a solid foundation for growth. The HVAC segment is set to benefit from Malaysia’s ambitious sustainability goals, with RM300 million allocated under Budget 2025 to support green initiatives and the potential introduction of a carbon tax in 2026 further encouraging businesses to adopt eco-friendly practices. PGB’s expertise in energy-efficient solutions positions the Group to capitalise on these trends.While global economic uncertainties persist, driven by geopolitical tensions and potential supply chain disruptions following the recent US presidential election, Malaysia’s economy is expected to grow steadily, with GDP forecasted to rise by 4.5% to 5.5% in 2025. This positive outlook, supported by a historic RM421 billion in expenditure under Budget 2025, underscores the Group’s confidence in its ability to navigate challenges and deliver sustainable growth for its stakeholders.ABOUT PROPEL GLOBAL BERHADPropel Global Berhad (“Propel Global” or the “Group”) is a provider of oil and gas (O&G) services, including the supply and provision of maintenance services for air-conditioning and ventilation systems, alongside specialised oilfield services such as pipe recovery, well intervention, diagnostic and sand management, and production enhancement.

香港, 2024年11月25日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 近年來,隨著汽車電動化、智能化發展,中國智能駕駛科技市場規模快速增長,讓越來越多的用戶享受到更安全、舒適和智能的出行體驗。在這個過程中,扮演重要角色的智駕企業也步入了高速增長階段。其中,作為在全球範圍內提供智駕解决方案的科技企業之一,福瑞泰克(浙江)智能科技股份有限公司于11月22日向港交所遞交上市申請,借助資本市場將進一步擴大領先地位。站在長坡厚雪賽道,業績呈快速增長趨勢福瑞泰克專注于高級駕駛輔助系統(ADAS)和自動駕駛系統(ADS)技術,主要為OEM提供全棧智能駕駛解决方案,包括大型傳統OEM和新興汽車製造商。據灼識諮詢的資料,在2023年中國L2級及L2+/L2++級智能駕駛解决方案市場中,公司位列自主供應商第三名,市場份額為14.6%。從行業角度來看,具有領先優勢往往意味著公司擁有更出色的産品交付能力,更廣泛的客戶群體和更完善的技術平臺,使公司能够抓住市場機遇,為客戶提供優質的服務,從而確立市場地位。具體來看,上述底氣體現在市場的增長潜力和公司持續釋放的業績潜能。就前者來說,隨著高速NOA和城市NOA加速普及,汽車智能化發展勢頭日益强勁。全球量産級L0級至L2+╱L2++級智駕解决方案以收入計的市場規模由2019年的1083億元增加至2023年的2771億元,複合年增長率為26.5%,預期到2028年將達到6503億元,2023年至2028年的複合年增長率爲18.6%。而中國作為全球最大的智駕解决方案市場,預期到2028年將達到2103億元,2023年至2028年的複合年增長率爲24.1%。其中,搭載L2級智駕解决方案的汽車滲透率預期將從2023年的33.8%增至2028年的51.8%,搭載L2+/L2++級智駕解决方案的汽車滲透率預期將從2023年的3.6%增至2028年的22.1%。這意味著,福瑞泰克正處在一個高成長賽道之上,有望抓住中國乃至全球市場中井噴的客戶需求,未來對海外市場的持續布局將轉化為重要的增長點。就後者來說,福瑞泰克在過去幾年的業績呈現加速增長趨勢。招股書顯示,收入由2021年的3.33億元增長至2023年的9.08億元,三年時間收入規模翻了三倍,2024年上半年的收入同比增長33.7%至3.12億元。這體現出公司業務保持擴張,證明了其在智駕解决方案市場具備競爭優勢,展現出充足的商業化潜能。此外,公司在研發上大力投入,2021年至2023年,分別投入1.84億元、5.15億元和5.61億元,三年累計超12.6億元,為公司抓住更多變現機會,展現更强大的盈利能力提供可靠的支撑。所以,綜合考慮公司當前的領先地位、全球智駕解决方案市場的潜力、公司日益完善的商業化能力,福瑞泰克有實力為投資者描繪向好的增長姿態和成長預期,這也無疑會對市場資金釋放出巨大的吸引力。多維度競爭壁壘,多元投資方加持,有望塑造行業標杆如何評估福瑞泰克的長期潜力?在廣泛認知中,要在智駕科技領域持續突破,企業往往要面對以下難點:較長的驗證周期、交付周期;技術、人才和資源等多方面的考慮;在較高的投入回報周期下,部分企業還要考慮資金壓力。對福瑞泰克來說,其正是圍繞這些方面建立起了多維度的競爭壁壘。首先是客戶壁壘。公司掌握多元化的合作夥伴,招股書顯示,截至今年上半年,公司已與46家OEM建立業務合作夥伴關係,涵蓋了全部國內十大OEM(按2023年汽車銷量計),幷擁有累計超過280個定點項目及累計超過200個量産項目,覆蓋多樣化且不斷增長的車型。這說明福瑞泰克在市場端有著深厚積累和量産項目經驗,使得産能利用率得到保障,釋放規模效應的同時帶來穩定的業績增長。這也意味著,公司在交付能力、質量管控等方面具備競爭優勢,收穫大量OEM認可。比如,截至今年上半年,公司的智駕解决方案的最短交付周期僅8個月,根據灼識諮詢的資料,這顯著快于行業平均水平。其次是技術壁壘。從終端客戶的需求來判斷智駕技術領先,本質是判斷安全、舒適、智能的車輛駕駛體驗。不同的智駕科技企業帶來的實際體驗差异較大,背後具備極高的技術門檻。而福瑞泰克基于全棧自研的ODIN平臺,硬件、軟件和算法的深度整合,在保證産品最佳性能的同時,能够高效地為客戶提供兼容不同車型,全面、靈活且具備成本效益的解决方案。由此,福瑞泰克在行業中具備差异化優勢。比如,以13 TOPS的算力提供行業領先的高速NOA和APA等行泊一體高階智駕功能,在低算力要求下實現高性價比的産品。在嚴格管控單車成本的背景下,技術和産品順應最新的市場趨勢,由此具備充足的市場競爭力。最後是人才和資源壁壘。招股書顯示,目前公司共有員工855人,其中研發人員625人,占總員工的73.1%。其中,50.6%持有學士學位,47.2%持有碩士或以上學位。公司掌握行業稀缺的研發人才,給技術創新提供了底層的支撑。同時,公司此前已完成多輪融資,股東包括政府産業基金、知名專業投資機構以及吉利、上汽、北汽、東風及陝汽等多家行業戰略合作夥伴。多元化的股東背景能為公司的業務發展提供全面的支持,此外,這也足見IPO前投資者對公司價值的高度認可。智駕産業具備技術、人才和資本密集等特點,長期來看,高端且高性價比的智駕解决方案産品,天然有著較高的競爭壁壘。因此,福瑞泰克有望在競爭中持續勝出,打造成為行業標杆,長期樹立牢固的行業地位。總結:總的來說,福瑞泰克作為投資標的,從業績、技術、客戶和資源等多維度來看,公司含金量較高,幷且掌握少數玩家才擁有的競爭力。從市場角度看,當前汽車智能化滲透率還有巨大的提升空間,智駕解决方案市場尚在發展初期,行業格局還沒有定型。而公司已占據領先地位,有望實現"强者恒强"。所以,投資者有理由認可福瑞泰克的價值潜力,若未來成功上市,表現也將令人期待。 Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

標普高度評價復星重返美元債

香港, 2024年11月25日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 11月21日,標普全球評級發表更新報告,對復星國際(00656)近期美元債券的成功發行表達了高度的認可。標普認為復星本次美元債的成功發行對集團融資渠道的拓寬起到積極作用,維持復星國際「穩定」展望評級不變。標普此次發表評級報告,是針對復星國際11月13日成功定價發行的一筆3億美元的3.5年期高級無抵押債券。標普指出,復星時隔三年多重啟境外美元債市場,證明了其信用指標的實質性提升和市場的廣泛認可,美元債的發行對復星拓寬融資渠道,拉長債務久期,強化流動性管理,都起到積極正面作用。本次新債發行的同時,復星宣佈要約等額的2025年到期的美元債,以確保有息債務總額不因新債發行而上升。據悉,此次債券發行成功吸引了大批國際優質投資者的認購,訂單總金額最終超過12億美元。據外電引述市場消息指,此次債券成功發行得益於公司近兩年持續堅定的聚焦產業發展、非戰略資產退出、優化債務結構和國際評級穩定等舉措和成果,復星成為近年來極少數在全球投資者信心恢復方面取得實質性進展的中國民營企業之一。在美元降息的大環境下,復星持續為長期支持它的投資者提供優質、安全、長期的資產配置的機會,為投資人創造和分享企業經營價值。標普在報告中提及,雖然三億美元的規模不大,但是結合集團之前8.88億美元境外銀團的成功組建,以及其境內銀行貸款多年成功續期的成績,標普認為復星對未來兩年內到期債務的兌付留有充足的流動性安全墊。此次美元債券,標普給出的信用評級為「BB-」,展望穩定,並預期復星將繼續退出非核心資產,集團債務將穩步下降,境外子公司步入成熟期將夯實復星的分紅收入。不久前,復星國際宣佈於9月30日通過綠鞋機制成功完成總規模達8.88億美元的可持續發展掛鉤銀團貸款,這是今年截至目前中國民營企業在市場上同類貸款規模中最大的一筆,此次銀團為三年期高級無抵押流動資金貸款,參團銀行包含多家國際領先銀行、大中華區、亞太區以及歐美等地區銀行。此舉反映了中外資銀行對於復星信用質量的持續認可,也表明了公司融資渠道的暢通,有助於為公司穩健發展提供堅實的基礎。近日,多家證券行均指出復星國際聚焦核心業務戰略成效顯著,當中,東北證券於11月15日發表研究報告,認為復星國際在「科創+全球化佈局」雙輪驅動下,戰略定位清晰、四大板塊業務穩健,此外還通過優化資產配置,現金流穩步改善。東北證券對復星的未來發展前景持樂觀態度,並給予「買入」評級。 Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
