SUNeVision announces 2018/19 interim results 新意網公布 2018/19 年度中期業績 SUNeVi s i on Ho l d i ng s L t d . a c h i e v ed satisfactory results for the six months ended 31 December 2018. Profit attributable to owners of the company amounted to HK$411.5 million, an increase of 5% over the same period last year. The underlying profit attributable to owners of the company (excluding the effect of other gains) was HK$321.5 million, an increase of 8% year-on- year. Revenue for the period increased 18% to HK$760 million, mainly due to revenue growth from its data centre operations. This increase was attributable to revenue growth from the flagship facility MEGA Plus in Tseung Kwan O, as well as new customers and rental reversions of existing customers at other data centres. EBITDA increased 19% year-on-year to HK$489 million. During the period, SUNeVision acquired a parcel of land in Tseung Kwan O designated for high-tier data centre use, which can provide approximately 1.2 million square feet of gross floor area space. This site is adjacent to MEGA Plus with synergies in business operations expected. Together with the Tsuen Wan site acquired in January 2018, the data centre facility portfolio will be doubled to 2.8 million square feet upon completion of the two sites. The objective is to strengthen SUNeVision's market leading position as a carrier-neutral provider with a portfolio of offerings for different needs and price points. Continuous facilities and infrastructure improvements have also been made at existing data centres. Further optimization work at MEGA-i is now underway. 新意網集團有限公司在截至 2018 年 12 月 31 日止六個月，表現理想。公司股 東應佔溢利 4.115 億港元，較去年同期 上升 5% 。公司股東應佔基礎溢利（撇 除其他收益的影響）為 3.215 億港元， 較去年同期上升 8% 。 在數據中心收入增長帶動下，期內收 入上升 18% 至 7 . 6 億港元。該增長受 惠於將軍澳旗艦數據中心 MEGA Plus 收入上升、其他數據中心新增客戶及 現有客戶續租。 EB I TDA 則按年增長 19% 至 4.89 億港元。 期內，新意網投得一幅位於將軍澳的 高端數據中心專屬用地，可提供總樓 面面積約 120 萬平方呎，鄰近 MEGA Plus ，將與現有的業務營運產生協同 效應。連同於 2018 年 1 月投得位於荃 灣的用地，待這兩個項目落成後，數 據中心設施組合的樓面面積將擴展一 倍至 280 萬平方呎，勢將強化作為中 立數據中心營運商的市場領導地位， 提供不同價格的產品組合，以滿足客 戶需求。新意網亦繼續提升現有數據 中心的設施及基建， MEGA-i 現正進行 進一步的優化工程。 SmarTone announces 2018/19 interim results 數碼通公布 2018/19 年度中期業績 SmarTone Telecommunications Holdings Limited announced its results for the six months ended 31 December 2018. During the period under review, a stable performance was achieved despite keen competition and a volatile macroeconomic environment. SmarTone’s customer base increased 12% to 2.47 million while postpaid churn rate remained at an industry low of 1.0%. During the period under review, SmarTone adopted the new accounting standard HKFRS 15. The impact on net profit was minimal with net profit at HK$332 million, showing an increase of 1% compared to the same period last year. However, due to the reallocation of a portion of service revenue for handset-bundled plans to handset and accessory sales, reported service revenue was 7% lower while handset and accessory sales increased 79%. EBITDA was lower by 13% as handset subsidy amortization was netted off against service revenue above EBITDA. SmarTone will continue delivering the best products and services that cater to customer needs. The company has further refarmed spectrum to extend its network performance along MTR lines. The implementation of LAA and small cells at selected hotspots has also significantly improved network performance, especially during periods of high traffic flows. In addition, the transition of the network to a NFV architecture has increased efficiency and reduced service and product introduction times. With the acquisition of additional low frequency 900MHz & 1800MHz in the recent spectrum renewal, SmarTone’s spectrum portfolio will expand in 2021, further enhancing its high quality in-building coverage and network performance. 數碼通電訊集團有限公司公布截至 2018 年 12 月 31 日止六個月的業績。 於回顧期內，雖然市場競爭激烈及宏 觀經濟環境波動，但業務表現依然平 穩。數碼通的客戶人數增加 1 2% 至 247 萬人，而月費計劃的客戶流失率則 維持在 1.0% ，處業界低位。 在回顧期內，數碼通採納新的會計準 則《香港財務報告準則》第 15 號。對 淨溢利的影響極少，淨溢利為 3.32 億 港元，較去年同期增加 1% 。但由於手 機月費計劃的部分服務收入被重新調 撥至手機及配件銷售，服務收入下跌 7% ，而手機及配件銷售則增長 79% 。 由於計算 EBITDA 時，服務收入須先抵 扣手機補貼攤銷， EBITDA 減少 13% 。 數碼通將繼續致力提供最優質的產品 及服務，以切合客戶所需。公司將進 一步重整頻譜，以擴展於港鐵沿線範 圍內的網絡表現。數碼通於指定熱點 推出 LAA 技術及安裝小型基站，亦已 大幅提升網絡表現，特別在網絡數據 流量需求上升期間的表現。此外，將 網絡轉型至網絡功能虛擬化架構，亦 有助提升效率，並縮短引入服務及產 品的時間。透過在近期頻譜續期時額 外投得的 900MH z 及 1800MH z 低頻 頻譜，數碼通將於 2021 年擴展頻譜組 合，進一步加強其優質室內覆蓋及網 絡表現。 19
