SHKP Quarterly

SmarTone Telecommunications Holdings Limited reported results for the year ended 30 June 2017. Total revenue was HK$8,715 million. Service revenue was HK$5,160 million, a drop of 6% over the previous year, due to increased migration from handset- bundled plans to SIM Only plans, weakness in the pre-paid segment and a decline in voice roaming revenues. However, net of handset subsidy amortization, the underlying post-paid service revenue has shown resilience and remain unchanged from the prior year. Local mobile post-paid service revenue net of handset subsidy amortization has increased by 2%, reflecting the strength of the core local mobile business. Service operating profit was HK$878 million. Profit attributable to equity holders of the company was HK$672 million. The Hong Kong customer number increased by 4% to 2.06 million and mobile post-paid ARPU was HK$285 during the year. SmarTone will improve productivity throughout its business in the face of the challenging operating environment, while maintaining investments to deliver the best network experience. It will also accelerate the growth of new revenue sources such as the Information, Communications & Technology business, internet of things, artificial intelligence and machine-to-machine application. As part of its customer-centric strategy, SmarTone will continue to deepen its segmented offerings and invest in a number of new digital platforms and services that better suit customers’ increasingly digital lifestyle. SUNeVision Holdings Ltd. achieved a satisfactory performance for the financial year ended 30 June 2017, with a profit attributable to owners of the company of HK$629.8 million. Underlying profit attributable to owners of the company, excluding the effect of other gain and loss, was HK$554.4 million; up 9% year on year. Revenue for the year rose 14% to HK$1,141.8 million, largely due to increased revenue from the data centre operations. Gross profit rose 10% to HK$704.1 million with gross margin for the year at 62%. Profit from operations for the year increased by 9% over last year to HK$663 million. Subsidiary iAdvantage’s data centre business continued winning new contracts and renewing existing ones with healthy rental reversions during the year. It also continues working on various major expansion and enhancement projects. Construction of the MEGA Plus facility in Tseung Kwan O has completed with the compliance certificate issued. Fit-out work for the initial anchor customers commenced in August. The transformation of the entire MEGA Two facility in Sha Tin into a dedicated data centre building is in the final stage. The optimization of the MEGA-i facility to enhance power capacity and density as well as connectivity is underway and due for completion in 2018. The surge of data usage driven by digitization and cloud computing has created different business opportunities for SUNeVision. Despite the potential increase in competition from new players, SUNeVision will continue to differentiate itself with superior infrastructure and service, as it continues investing facility upgrades to satisfy changing customer needs.
