Revenue from big data products and solutions was RMB 1.277 billion, with a year-on-year growth of 17%; and overseas revenue was RMB 465 million, up 55% year-on-year. Profit attributable to shareholders was approximately RMB 10.81 million (compared to RMB 40 million in the same period last year). The decrease in profit was primarily due to heightened competition faced by the Company Ltd. (“DCITS”), and its ongoing increase in investments within various business sectors, leading to a decline in gross profit margin, and increased costs related to new product lines.Breakthrough Progress in Big Data Products and SolutionsFueled by the robust and swift growth of its big data business, DC Holdings has further refined its overall business structure. The innovative “City CTO + Enterprise CSO” model continues to gain strength, utilizing years of accumulated government resources to expedite expansion into industry and enterprise sectors. This strategy has been effectively validated by clients and quickly replicated.Major Project Wins: During the Reporting Period, The Group has secured major projects, including the AI infrastructure project (Smart Computing Center) in Jilin Changchun New District, the second phase of the Computing Power Center in Changchun, and an Intelligent Water Project in Jilin Province.Intelligent Computing Center Development: The Company will continue to enhance and evolve industry-specific software models on its proprietary “Three-in-One” industrial intelligent brain platform.

R&D expenses reached RMB 320 million.Expanding Overseas: A New Growth PhaseDuring the reporting period, DC Holdings achieved overseas revenue of RMB 465 million, marking a 55% year-on-year increase. Under China’s Belt and Road Initiative, the Company leverages its extensive overseas experience and high-end networks to actively expand its value chain, focusing on “localization,” “win-win cooperation,” and “leading domestic ecosystems while integrating into international ecosystems.”Following this international strategy, the Group has formed strategic alliances with prominent Chinese enterprises such as Huawei, Honor, ZTE, and BYD to enhance their global presence. They offer comprehensive supply chain operations and digital services, including international and domestic transport, warehousing, import and export, cross-border e-commerce, and live streaming services.

Digital China will seize this historical opportunity, leverage its strengths in data governance and application, actively engage in cutting-edge technology areas, and accelerate expansion into enterprise markets.DC Holdings will expedite the implementation of the “Enterprise CSO” business model, deepen its focus on core smart supply chain scenarios, and continue to collaborate with warehousing and logistics ecosystem partners. By utilizing the supply chain control tower, the Company aims to assist more enterprise clients with end-to-end supply chain operations and continuously iterate AI intelligent applications from visualization and assisted decision-making to autonomous intelligent decision-making, promoting rapid replication and implementation of the end-to-end supply chain control tower solutions for clients.Looking ahead, as global intelligent transformation deepens, DC Holdings’ “Big Data + Artificial Intelligence” strategy will experience significant development.

Flexidynamic Sees Significant Turnaround in PBT by 277.62% for Q2 FY2024, Better Prospects Ahead

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 1, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Flexidynamic Holdings Berhad ("Flexidynamic" or the "Company"), an established solutions provider for the rubber glove manufacturing industry, is pleased to announce its financial results for the second quarter ended 30 June 2024 ("Q2 FY2024").The Group recorded revenue of RM7.76 million for Q2 FY2024, reflecting a strategic shift as the Company capitalised on emerging opportunities in the recovering glove industry. While revenue showed a decline from RM13.30 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous year ("Q2 FY2023"), primarily due to the completion of significant overseas projects in the prior year. Flexidynamic saw a robust increase in demand for repair and maintenance services, system upgrades, and equipment enhancements from its existing customers. This signals a positive market sentiment and the beginning of a rebound in the glove manufacturing sector.Profit before taxation (“PBT”) for Q2 FY2024 was RM0.91 million, slightly lower than the RM0.93 million recorded in Q2 FY2023. However, the Company’s continued focus on cost management and operational efficiency has ensured sustained profitability. Notably, Profit After Tax (“PAT”) soared to RM0.98 million, a significant improvement compared to a Loss After Tax (“LAT”) of RM0.55 million in the same quarter last year, driven by the recognition of deferred tax assets from customer downpayments.The comparison with the immediate preceding quarter (“Q1 FY2024”) further highlights Flexidynamic’s positive trajectory. Revenue surged from RM4.75 million in Q1 FY2024 to RM7.76 million in Q2 FY2024, while PBT experienced a remarkable 501.32% increase, rising from RM0.15 million to RM0.91 million. This strong performance underscores the Company’s ability to navigate a challenging environment and capitalise on the recovery in the glove industry.Mr. Tan Kong Leong, Managing Director of Flexidynamic, commented on the results: “The second quarter of FY2024 marks a significant period of recovery for Flexidynamic as the glove industry shows early signs of resurgence. While the global oversupply of gloves persists, particularly due to the excessive capacity expansion during the Covid-19 pandemic, we are optimistic about the long-term prospects of the industry. Increased hygiene awareness, especially in emerging markets with low glove consumption, is expected to drive demand. Our strategic focus on operational efficiency and cost management has allowed us to effectively leverage this recovery, leading to a substantial increase in profitability.”He added, “In addition to our core operations, we are pleased to announce our recent venture into gamma radiation sterilisation services in collaboration with Gammatech. This initiative not only serves our existing customers in the glove industry but also opens up new opportunities in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, and packaging. By offering these services, we are poised to expand our market reach and deliver even greater value to our shareholders.”Since its inception in 2012, Flexidynamic has firmly established itself in the rubber glove manufacturing industry. The strategic acquisition of Flexidynamic Engineering Co. Ltd. in Thailand in 2018 has expanded its presence across Southeast Asia, supported by operational offices in Malaysia and Thailand and a manufacturing facility in Banting, Malaysia. The Group has also diversified into infrastructure projects, including a recent RM12.4 million contract for the water treatment plant and water intake at Loji Rawatan Air Chupak, Jajahan Gua Musang, Kelantan, which is expected to contribute positively to earnings. Furthermore, with the Group’s planned provision of sterilisation services using gamma radiation through Gammatech, its 51%-owned subsidiary, Flexidynamic is set to serve not only its existing glove industry customers but also expand into pharmaceuticals, food processing, and packaging sectors, leveraging its expertise to drive sustained growth and diversification.ABOUT FLEXIDYNAMIC HOLDINGS BERHADFounded in 2012, Flexidynamic Holdings Berhad has established itself as a pivotal solutions provider in the rubber glove manufacturing sector, with a significant market presence in countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka, supported by strategic offices in Malaysia and Thailand. From its inception focusing on chlorination systems for powder-free glove production, Flexidynamic has expanded its product range and geographical footprint, particularly after the strategic acquisition of Flexidynamic Engineering Co. Ltd. in Thailand in 2018. This acquisition bolstered its support for overseas operations, mainly in the Southeast Asia region. With a relentless focus on innovation and a strong support base, Flexidynamic Group is poised for further growth, leveraging its expertise to venture into new markets and sectors.For more information, visit https://flexidynamic.com/.Issued By: Swan Consultancy Sdn.
