董事總經理魏愛國先生(右)及董事副總經理黎玉光先生(左)香港, 2024年9月26日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - AEON信貸財務（亞洲）有限公司（「AEON信貸財務」或「集團」；股份代號：00900）今日公布截至二零二四年八月三十一日止六個月（「二零二四/二五年度上半年」或「報告期間」）的中期業績。報告期間，集團收入按年增長9.9%至860,300,000港元。收入增長主要得益於利息收入的增加，而這歸因於集團於二零二四/二五年度上半年針對市場需求推出不同的營銷計劃，令集團在經濟形勢緩慢復甦的情況下成功維持銷售增長。營運效率提升下，成本對收入比率由二零二三/二四年度上半年的48.0%下降至二零二四/二五年度上半年的47.0%，在未計入虧損及減值準備前的營運層面上，集團於二零二四/二五年度上半年錄得營運溢利為426,000,000港元，較二零二三/二四年度上半年增加11.7%。稅後溢利為170,400,000港元（二零二三/二四年度上半年：191,400,000港元）。稅後溢利下降主要由於信貸違約率增加以及經濟指標疲軟，導致減值虧損和減值準備增加。董事會決議宣佈派發中期股息，每股 24.0港仙（二零二三/二四年度上半年：每股24.0港仙），派付股息比率為59.0%。為應對經濟復甦反彈較預期遲緩及其他挑戰，集團於報告期間及時採取多項措施，推動銷售及應收款項的增長，同時大力完善風險定價機制，實現最大回報的信用卡和私人貸款組合，並利用有效的信用風險管理機制來降低信用減值的可能性。集團於二零二四/二五年度上半年銷售額整體較二零二三/二四年度上半年增長10.6%, 客戶貸款及應收款項總額較二零二四年二月底增加3.8%。營銷方面，集團利用針對性營銷手法和吸引的市場推廣，令目標客戶了解其具競爭力的產品及服務。為使分行網絡多元化及滿足客戶面對面諮詢服務日益增長的需求，集團持續改造及擴展分行網絡，其中包括於二零二四年六月設立沙田新分行，並設有專門的保險諮詢櫃檯。為進一步強化公司的技術基礎，集團已成功將核心數據中心遷移至將軍澳。新數據中心基礎設施在正常運行時間保證、故障寬容能力及競爭服務成本方面皆具頂尖排名。新數據中心位於一棟國際認可綠色建築認證標準的建築物內，顯示集團非常重視將可持續發展融入其業務營運。展望未來，集團將以合理的收益率尋求應收帳款增長，並管理融資成本以增加淨利息收入。集團亦將採取靈活的行銷策略，拓展客戶群及服務渠道，有效運用系統資源，提升服務品質及營運效率。此外，集團將透過發展收單及保險中介業務的收費業務，努力實現收入來源多元化。由於信貸環境預計仍將充滿挑戰，集團將密切監察信貸評估和信貸管理改進的有效性，並實現更好的期限配對，以盡量減低信貸和流動性風險。在營運數碼化方面，集團將進一步完善客服中心平台，提升與客戶的快速互動。此外，集團將繼續加強數據分析工具，以提高在行銷、信用評估和信用管理活動的有效性。為提升信用卡服務，「AEON HK」手機應用程式即將推出虛擬信用卡功能，客戶無需親自到櫃檯，即可在信用卡核准及啟動後即時享受購物體驗。另外，為適應不斷變化的消費者偏好和支付技術，集團將於2024年9月30日推出全新信用卡設計，為客戶提供更便利、更優質的支付體驗。新卡設計體現集團創新和可持續發展精神，迎合日益流行的非接觸式支付，並使用再生塑膠，反映了集團將可持續發展納入其業務營運的堅定承諾。AEON信貸財務董事總經理魏愛國先生表示：「儘管宏觀經濟環境存在不確定性，我們將持續投入資源，提供卓越的消費金融服務，以滿足客戶不斷變化的需求，並以更多創新及定制化產品擴大客戶群。憑藉我們強大的資金流動性，資產負債表以及多方面成熟的管理能力，我們有能力把握消費金融市場的機遇，在今年餘下的時間內實現更好的表現。」關於AEON信貸財務（亞洲）有限公司（股份代號：00900）AEON信貸財務（亞洲）有限公司為AEON Financial Service Co., Ltd.之附屬公司（東京證券交易所編號：8570）及AEON集團旗下公司，成立於1987年，並於1995年在香港聯合交易所有限公司主板上市。集團主要從事消費融資業務，包括於香港簽發信用卡及提供私人貸款融資、信用卡付款處理服務、保險代理及顧問業務，以及於中國內地從事小額融資業務。詳情請瀏覽公司網址：www.aeon.com.hk。 Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 26, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Clean Energy Transition Asia (CETA) Exhibition and Summit is set to take place at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) from 9-11 October, 2024, uniting leaders from the clean energy sectors to accelerate Asia’s transition to a sustainable energy future. Co-located with the distinguished International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition and Conference Malaysia (IGEM) 2024 and the MobilityX Asia, CETA will provide an integrated platform for both public and private stakeholders to collaborate on innovative solutions, driving sustainability and energy security across the region.This year’s event will closely align with Malaysia’s National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), positioning CETA as a key driver in the nation’s vision for energy transition. Launched last year by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the NETR outlines a comprehensive strategy for achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, and emphasises the importance of balancing economic growth with sustainability and energy security. The Summit will serve as a platform to advance the country’s ambitious green energy agenda while setting a model for the region.McKinsey & Company and Rystad Energy join CETA as Knowledge Partner and Strategic Partner respectively, lending strength to the Summit with their key research and insights.Vishal Agarwal, Senior Partner at McKinsey & Company, stated, “Our assessment shows that in Asia alone, there is a potential for new value pools in green businesses worth $3 to $5 trillion in the next decade. This includes areas such as renewables, green data centres, electrification and transportation, and green materials.”Mel Lanvers-Shah, CEO of The Co_Lab Pte Ltd, the event's owner and organizer, emphasised, “CETA’s alignment with Malaysia’s National Energy Transition Roadmap demonstrates the crucial role that industry collaboration plays in achieving our collective sustainability goals.

Unfortunately, some key developed nations have shifted focus away from decarbonisation, emissions management and ESG principles. This shift in rhetoric is beginning to impact ASEAN, which is a significant concern we are committed to addressing at CETA.”“CETA's emphasis on adopting a whole-of-energy approach mirrors Malaysia’s NETR goals, particularly in its focus on balancing the development of clean energy technologies with the responsible use of hydrocarbons,” added Mel Lanvers-Shah.“Through innovative discussions and partnerships, the summit aims to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy projects, such as solar and wind, while fostering technologies like carbon capture and storage (CCS) to ensure a smooth transition in line with Malaysia's 2050 net-zero ambitions.”The IGEM, CETA and MobilityX Exhibition will feature over 500 exhibitors and sponsors, and is expecting an audience size of nearly 50,000 attendees, including energy professionals from across the region, with a view to exploring and procuring critical solutions that will help them grow their businesses.Organised by The Co_Lab Pte Ltd, CETA is held under the patronage of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability (NRES), with the Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Corporation (MGTC) as its strategic partner and PETRONAS as its Industry Patron.To register and for more information, please visit www.ceta.asiaAbout CETAThe Clean Energy Transition Asia (CETA) Exhibition and Summit is the premier event in Asia focused on driving the region’s energy transition by uniting the clean energy and hydrocarbon sectors.
