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, 數碼通公布 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布截至 2020 年 6 月 30 日止年度的業績。於回顧年度 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 狀病毒病所引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，於推出時提供全港室內室外覆蓋至 廣的 5G 網絡。此外，透過使用新獲得的 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，締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 家居寬頻服務。同時，管理層亦 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 絡及投資於 5G ，並透過與愛立信及傳輸 線供應商緊密合作，以極具成本效益的 方式進一步提升網絡質素及覆蓋。 SUNeVision announces 2019/20 annual results SUNeVision Holdings Ltd. announced its final results for the year ended 30 June 2020.
