Revenue Up 9.9% to HK$860.3 million in 1HFY2024/25

Mr. Wei Aiguo, Managing Director (Right),Mr. Derek Lai, Deputy Managing Director (Left)HONG KONG, Sept 26, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) –  AEON Credit Service (Asia) Company Limited (“AEON Credit” or the “Group”; Stock Code: 00900) today announced its interim results for the six months ended 31st August 2024 (“1HFY2024/25” or the “Reporting Period”).During the Reporting Period, the Group’s revenue increased by 9.9% year-on-year to HK$860.3 million. The increase was attributable to the growth in interest income, driven by various marketing programs implemented in 1HFY2024/25 that successfully sustained sales growth despite the slow economic recovery. With the cost-to-income ratio decreasing to 47.0% from 48.0% in 1HFY2023/24 due to enhanced operational efficiency, the Group recorded an operating profit before impairment losses and impairment allowances of HK$426.0 million for the Reporting Period, representing an increase of 11.7% from 1HFY2023/24. Profit after tax was HK$170.4 million (1HFY2023/24: HK$191.4 million). The decrease in profit after tax was due to the increase in impairment losses and impairment allowances as a result of the rise in credit defaults and weakened economic indicators.The Board has resolved to declare an interim dividend of 24.0HK cents per share (1HFY2023/24: 24.0 HK cents per share), representing a dividend payout ratio of 59.0%.To cope with the slower than expected economic recovery and other headwinds, the Group took timely measures during the Reporting Period to sustain the increase in both sales and receivables, while making significant efforts to enhance its risk-based pricing mechanism to maximize the return from its credit card and personal loan portfolios, and utilized an effective credit risk management mechanism to reduce the likelihood of credit impairment.The Group achieved an overall increase in sales of 10.6% in 1HFY2024/25 compared with the first half of the previous year, and the gross advances and receivables balance continued to record an increase of 3.8% from the end of February 2024.With regard to marketing, the Group utilized targeted marketing and attractive promotions to better promote the competitive edge of its carefully devised products and services to the intended customers. Meanwhile, in order to diversify its branch network and meet customers’ growing demand for face-to-face advisory services, the Group continued to revamp and expand its branch network, including the opening of the new Shatin branch in June 2024 with a dedicated insurance consultation counter.To further strengthen its technological foundation, the Group has successfully relocated its core data center to Tseung Kwan O, with its infrastructure ranked top tier in terms of uptime guarantee, fault tolerance and competitive service cost. The new data center is located in a building purposely designed to meet internationally recognized green building certification standards, demonstrating the Group’s commitment to integrating sustainability into its business operations.Looking ahead, the Group will seek receivable growth at reasonable yields while managing funding expenses to increase net interest income. Flexible marketing strategies will also be adopted to broaden the customer base and service channels, leveraging on systems to boost service quality and operational efficiency. In addition, the Group will endeavour to diversify revenue streams by cultivating fee-generating transactions and insurance intermediary businesses.As credit conditions are expected to remain challenging, the Group will closely monitor the effectiveness of credit assessment and credit management improvement, as well as achieve better maturity matching, to minimize credit and liquidity risks.Regarding digitalization of operations, the Group will continue to enhance its call center platform and provide responsive customer interaction. Data analytics tools will also be further developed to heighten the effectiveness of marketing, credit assessment and credit management activities.To enhance credit card services, the upcoming introduction of the virtual credit card functionality within the “AEON HK” mobile application will provide customers with immediate purchasing capabilities right after card-approval and activation without the need for branch visits.Besides, in response to evolving consumer preferences and payment technologies, a new credit card design will be launched on 30 September 2024 to offer customers a more convenient and premium payment experience. The redesign addresses growing demand for contactless payment and uses recycled plastics, embodying the Group’s commitment to innovation and sustainability.Mr. Wei Aiguo, Managing Director of AEON Credit, said, “Despite the uncertainties in the macroeconomic environment, we will continue to devote resources to provide exceptional consumer finance services to meet evolving customers’ needs and to expand our customer base with innovative customized products. With our strong liquidity and balance sheet, as well as proven management expertise and capabilities, we are well positioned to take advantage of the opportunities in the consumer finance market to achieve better performance in the remainder of the year.”About AEON Credit Service (Asia) Company Limited (Stock Code: 00900)AEON Credit Service (Asia) Company Limited, a subsidiary of AEON Financial Service Co., Ltd.

I look forward to more exciting endeavours, as we leverage opportunities together and address challenges that will positively impact our organisations and nations.”Katsuya Nakanishi said, “Mitsubishi Corporation looks forward to providing continuous support in growing and nurturing access to global LNG market for PETRONAS’ future volumes with LNG being the fuel of choice in the age of energy transition.

特朗普同意会见泽连斯基

(SeaPRwire) -   乌克兰领导人此前曾对这位前美国总统进行“恶毒的诽谤” 美国共和党总统候选人唐纳德·特朗普宣布,他将于周五在纽约与乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基会面。 泽连斯基已会见了美国总统乔·拜登和副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯,后者是民主党在11月大选中总统职位候选人。他还寻求与特朗普会面。 “我将在明天早上大约9:45在特朗普大厦与他会面,”这位前总统兼可能未来的美国总统在周四下午在纽约市举行的新闻发布会上宣布。 当天早些时候,特朗普在其TruthSocial平台上发布了来自乌克兰驻美大使馆副大使的一条消息,转达了泽连斯基的会面请求。 “亲爱的唐纳德,希望你一切安好。我记得我们最近的电话交谈——真的很好,”泽连斯基写道。“我们所有乌克兰人都希望以公正的和平结束这场战争。我们知道没有美国,这是不可能实现的。这就是为什么我们必须努力相互理解并保持密切联系。” “你知道我一直对与你有关的一切都怀有极大的尊重,也应该如此,”这位乌克兰演员出身的政治家写道,并补充说他“真的很想让我们的会面成行。” 这一请求是在特朗普批评泽连斯基在周日发表的一篇采访中对他和他的竞选搭档、俄亥俄州参议员JD·万斯进行的“小恶毒的诽谤”之后提出的。 在北卡罗来纳州的一次竞选集会上,特朗普将乌克兰描述为“完全被摧毁”,并指责拜登和哈里斯“为泽连斯基提供资金和弹药,就像任何国家以前从未见过的那样。” “我们继续向一个拒绝达成协议的人提供数十亿美元,”特朗普说,指的是泽连斯基。“任何协议,即使是最糟糕的协议,也比我们现在的情况好。” 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

AI Body Shape, Gait, and Motion Analysis Company ‘REMO’ Secures Investment from CNT Tech and Others

Seoul, Korea – September 27, 2024 – (SeaPRwire) – REMO (https://www.remo.re.kr), an AI healthcare startup led by CEO Eun-Kyung Bae, announced on the 26th that it has successfully secured its first seed investment from startup-focused investors, including CNT Tech. REMO is a healthcare tech company composed of experts in rehabilitation engineering and AI. The company possesses top-tier AI technology for markerless 3D human motion analysis using a single video. Notably, REMO’s technology achieves high accuracy by using general cameras instead of depth cameras, rivaling the high-performance motion analysis equipment from Vicon, a global standard in the field. The technology offers not only cost efficiency and ease of use but also versatility, allowing integration with various hardware that comes with built-in cameras. REMO’s AI-powered 3D body shape analyzer, ‘FineFit,’ is available in kiosk and tablet forms. It uses a general camera to easily capture front and side photos to measure nine types of body imbalances, such as forward head posture, rounded shoulders, anterior-posterior tilt and imbalance, head and pelvic tilt, shoulder height difference, knee alignment, and O/X leg conditions. Premium services include body size analysis that measures waist, hip, thigh circumference, arm and leg length, physical function evaluation through video analysis, and future body shape prediction powered by generative AI technology. ‘REMOBody-S’, also developed using REMO’s AI technology, is a markerless 3D gait and motion analyzer. By capturing a simple walking video on a treadmill with a general camera, it conducts a gait ability test (speed, lateral balance, joint angles, gait variables, etc.) to provide customized services for patients. It has received Class 1 medical device certification in South Korea and is utilized as an auxiliary tool in diagnosing age-related and musculoskeletal diseases (such as stroke, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and cognitive impairment) in orthopedics and rehabilitation medicine. Beyond its flagship products, ‘FineFit’ and ‘REMOBody-S’, REMO has launched a website for its AI 3D motion analysis API service, actively promoting API sales to domestic and international buyers. By purchasing REMO’s AI 3D motion analysis API service, other companies’ hardware or software products can incorporate REMO’s 3D body shape, gait, and motion analysis (such as golf swing and pre-motion) functionalities. This offering has received positive feedback from healthcare industry stakeholders both in South Korea and abroad. Leveraging this recent investment, REMO is enhancing its services in preparation for global expansion. Currently, ‘FineFit’ is in use at over 100 fitness centers nationwide, and ‘REMOBody-S’ is supplied to major hospitals and research institutes across the country. Additionally, REMO has recently gained recognition for its outstanding AI technology by participating in various healthcare expos both domestically and internationally, including ‘FIBO 2024’ in Germany, and is now accelerating its plans for global expansion into markets such as Taiwan, Singapore, and India.

(SeaPRwire) -   美国总统从国会获得的拨款授权将在下周到期 美国总统乔·拜登周四宣布向乌克兰提供近 80 亿美元的军事援助,释放了国会授权的剩余资金。议员们最近拒绝将某些资金的使用期限延长到下周的截止日期之后。 这笔资金包括来自五角大楼乌克兰安全援助计划的 24 亿美元和来自总统提款权 (PDA) 的 55 亿美元。这些机制允许向武器制造商付款,并允许直接从美国军方库存中提取武器。后者的金额将在本月底到期,这标志着美国财政年度的结束。 白宫曾希望美国国会允许在稍后时间支出 PDA 资金。然而,周三通过的立法没有包含任何此类条款,据报道这是由于共和党人对继续为基辅提供资金持怀疑态度。 拜登在与乌克兰领导人弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基会晤期间宣布了有关军事援助的决定,泽连斯基目前正在美国推广他与俄罗斯冲突中的“胜利计划”。 泽连斯基表示,他希望美国总统成为第一个看到这项计划的人,因为它严重依赖美国援助。据《华尔街日报》报道,美国官员已预览了该计划,但发现它“不太令人印象深刻”。 美国总统表示,基辅将收到一个额外的爱国者地空导弹系统、更多弹药和无人机,以及一项新功能,即 AGM-154 联合防区武器 (JSOW)。这种滑翔炸弹从高空飞机投下时射程可达 130 公里。 基辅事业的一些支持者批评了拜登在最后一刻动用资金。来自密苏里州的共和党参议员罗杰·威克尔声称,这“是本届政府一贯的做法,总是等到最后一刻才宣布全面使用 PDA”。 泽连斯基的访问也引发了共和党议员的抱怨,因为他批评了共和党总统候选人并访问了战场州宾夕法尼亚州的弹药厂,没有一位共和党官员在场。 该党高级成员指责乌克兰领导人为民主党人助选。他们还指责拜登政府通过组织泽连斯基访问宾夕法尼亚州并为此花费纳税人的钱来帮助干预 2024 年总统大选。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
