SmarTone announces 2019/20 annual results SmarTone Telecommunications Holdings Limited reported results for the year ended 30 June 2020. During the year under review, underlying profit attributable to equity holders decreased 24% from HK$581 million to HK$440 million, primarily due to the decline in roaming revenues as a result of travel restrictions from COVID-19. Taking into account a one-off fixed asset impairment for the Macau segment, reported profit was 40% lower at HK$379 million. Leaving the impact of roaming aside, the core business was resilient during the last financial year. The number of subscribers grew 6% year-on-year to 2.7 million. Postpaid churn rate improved to an industry low of 0.7%. In May, SmarTone launched its 5G service in Hong Kong. Through partnership with Ericsson, SmarTone was the first in Asia to introduce the industry-leading Dynamic Spectrum Sharing technology, enabling a speedy 5G network rollout with the widest coverage across Hong Kong at launch, both indoor and outdoor. Also, by deploying the newly acquired 3.5GHz spectrum and utilizing a combination of low, 數碼通公佈 2019/20 年度全年業績 mid and high spectrum bands, SmarTone is able to deliver ultra-fast speed and super-low latency with ample capacity at high-traffic locations. Despite the uncertain economic environment, there are a number of opportunities for SmarTone to expand its revenue streams, such as the soon-to-be launched 5G home broadband ser vice. At the same time, management has also initiated a programme of cost optimization and produc tivit y enhancement. Looking forward, SmarTone will continue to upgrade the network and invest in 5G. Through a very successful partnership with Ericsson and backhaul providers, SmarTone will be able to step up its network quality and coverage at highly effective costs. 數碼通電訊集團有限公司公佈截至 2020 年 6 月 30 日止年度業績。回顧年度內，股 東應佔基本溢利由 5.81 億港元下跌 24% 至 4.4 億港元，主要由於 2019 冠狀病毒病所 導致的旅遊限制導致漫遊收入下跌。計及 澳門地區的一次性固定資產減值，呈報的 溢利減少 40% 至 3.79 億港元。剔除漫遊業 務的影響，核心業務於上個財政年度仍然 穩健。客戶人數按年增長 6% 至 270 萬， 月費計劃的客戶流失率降至業界低位的 0.7% 。 數碼通於五月在香港推出 5G 服務，與愛 立信合作，首次將引領業界的動態頻譜 共享技術引入亞洲，加快 5G 網絡部署， 推出提供全港室內室外覆蓋至廣的 5G 網 絡。此外，通過使用新獲得的 3.5GHz 頻 譜，結合高、中、低頻段，數碼通得以為 高流量地區提供龐大網絡容量，打造時延 極低的極速網絡體驗。 雖然經濟環境充滿不明朗因素，但數碼通 仍把握機遇拓展收入來源，例如即將推出 5G 家居寬帶服務。同時，管理層也已採 取一系列優化成本及提升生產力的措施。 展望未來，數碼通將繼續升級網絡及投資 5G ，並通過與愛立信及傳輸線供應商的 緊密合作，以極具成本效益的方式進一步 提升網絡質量及覆蓋。 SUNeVision announces 2019/20 annual results SUNeVision Holdings Ltd. announced its final results for the year ended 30 June 2020.
