SYDNEY, AU, Sept 30, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - As ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) considerations take centre stage in the financial industry, Pro Visionary, a Sydney-based wealth management company, continues to integrate these principles into its investment strategies. The global shift towards sustainability is not just a trend, but a long-term transition in how businesses operate, and Australia is no exception. Pro Visionary's team has recognised the importance of ESG in shaping the future of investment portfolios, particularly within the fixed-income sector.In the Australian finance market, ESG investments have grown substantially over the past few years. The emphasis on sustainability is no longer limited to equity investments but extends to fixed-income markets as well. Bonds issued by environmentally or socially responsible entities, such as green bonds or social bonds, have been attracting considerable interest. These instruments have gained traction due to their ability to provide stable returns while addressing urgent environmental and social challenges. Recent data from the Responsible Investment Association Australasia (RIAA) indicates a rising demand for such fixed-income products, with investors seeking both financial performance and measurable societal impact.Michael White, Senior Adviser at Pro Visionary, highlighted the role that ESG plays in shaping the investment landscape. "ESG criteria have evolved into key drivers of long-term value. Integrating ESG into fixed-income strategies enhances risk management and fosters sustainable returns. Investors are increasingly recognising that incorporating environmental and social factors is no longer a compromise but a means to strengthen portfolios in the face of emerging risks."White's commentary aligns with broader market trends, where investors have noted that ESG risks, such as climate change or poor corporate governance, can directly impact the creditworthiness of issuers. In Australia, the adoption of ESG measures in fixed-income strategies has been especially relevant due to the country's vulnerability to climate risks, such as extreme weather events and their impact on industries like agriculture and energy.Mark Thompson, also a Senior Adviser at Pro Visionary, expanded on this by discussing the firm's commitment to identifying opportunities that align with sustainable development. "The focus on ESG not only contributes to the greater good but also identifies companies with strong governance and forward-looking strategies. This helps manage risks that traditional models may overlook. Furthermore, fixed-income products like green bonds offer avenues to support infrastructure projects aimed at decarbonising industries, which will be critical in the years ahead."Thompson's perspective is increasingly echoed by many Australian investors who are aware of the need for sustainability within their portfolios. With the Australian government placing stronger emphasis on sustainable finance through various policy frameworks, this creates a conducive environment for further growth in ESG-related investments, including within the bond market.Pro Visionary's approach involves a careful evaluation of ESG factors at every level of the investment process. By doing so, the firm seeks to provide investors with exposure to assets that not only offer solid returns but also contribute positively to societal outcomes. The firm has implemented stringent evaluation criteria for bonds that promote environmental sustainability and social responsibility, aligning with global ESG standards.While ESG-focused investments are still evolving in the fixed-income space, Pro Visionary believes that the momentum is only set to grow. "Incorporating ESG into fixed-income investments doesn't just align portfolios with values-it builds resilience. As regulatory frameworks tighten and consumer expectations shift, investment portfolios that ignore ESG risk lagging behind," commented White.As Australia's financial landscape adapts to this ESG wave, Pro Visionary remains committed to identifying fixed-income opportunities that align with both the financial goals and ethical standards of investors. Through ongoing research and an informed understanding of the global ESG environment, the company aims to support the transition to a more sustainable and responsible future, all while ensuring that risk-adjusted returns remain a priority for their clients.About Pro Visionary Pty LtdPro Visionary is an active investment manager in Australian and Global Equities, Credit and Fixed-Income.

HONG KONG, Sept 30, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In the first half of 2024, the restaurant industry faced significant challenges due to shifting consumer preferences, changing spending habits and intensified competition. The increasing cost of goods and fiercely competitive pricing have resulted in an overall decline in industry profitability, with several large-scale restaurants reporting losses. Despite this challenging environment, DPC Dash ("Domino’s Pizza China" or the "Company") (1405.HK) has leveraged these changes as a catalyst for growth, developing a new competitive edge focused on high quality-to-price ratios, allowing the company to flourish against prevailing trends.DPC Dash, Domino's Pizza's exclusive master franchisee in the China Mainland, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China, and the Macau Special Administrative Region of China, has successfully implemented its 4D strategy of Development, Delicious Pizza at Value, Delivery, and Digital. This approach has driven sustainable growth and profitability in the underserved Chinese pizza market in the first half of 2024, as reported in the company’s recently released interim financial report.In the first half of 2024, DPC Dash generated record-high revenue of RMB2.04 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 48.3%. This steady revenue growth reflects DPC Dash’s sustainable business model and resilient counter-cyclical strategy, which have significantly improved its profitability.The Company’s financial improvement is demonstrated by its positive adjusted net profit and net profit after tax. Adjusted net profit turned positive in the first half of 2024 to reach RMB 50.9 million, compared to an adjusted net loss of RMB17.4 million in the same period of 2023. The company also reported a net profit after tax of RMB10.9 million, a 24.6% year-over-year increase compared to RMB8.8 million of the same period of 2023, positively impacted by the fair value gain of approximately RMB119.3 million on convertible senior ordinary shares.Another testament to the company’s strong profitability is its same-store sales growth (SSSG), which compares the sales generated by same stores during the relevant period year-on-year. In the face of recent market challenges, it is extremely difficult to maintain positive SSSG momentum. DPC Dash has demonstrated its ability to deliver sustainable growth, achieving 28 consecutive quarters of SSSG, while continuing its expansion efforts.As a franchisor of Domino’s Pizza, Inc., one of the world’s largest pizza companies, DPC Dash leverages this global strength to execute its 4D strategy, which continues to drive the company’s success in the underserved China pizza market.DPC Dash has continued to execute its “go-deeper, go-broader” strategy, as DPC Dash added 146 stores and entered 4 cities in the first half of 2024. Total stores reached 914 across 33 cities as of June 30, 2024. This represents more than an eightfold increase in store numbers since the current management took over in 2017. Newly-opened stores have been delivering exceptional performance. In the first half of 2024, revenue generated from new growth markets accounted for 61% of the total revenue, making new growth markets the Company’s main growth driver. Store numbers in the new growth markets exceeded 50% of all stores. At the beginning of May, DPC Dash expanded its presence by entering three new cities: Taizhou, Huizhou, and Jinhua in one week. The first stores in Huizhou and Jinhua both broke the DPC Dash record for daily sales. In June, DPC Dash celebrated the grand opening of its 900th store in Chengdu, Sichuan. As of July 31, 2024, DPC Dash held 28 of the top 30 positions for first 30-day sales among Domino's stores globally. In newly entered markets, DPC Dash continues to expand its presence with more stores opening, while maintaining strong performance in existing stores. Among 42 stores the Company opened in 12 new cities from the late December 2023 through the first half of 2024, 18 stores have already achieved payback. The Company is expecting a shorter payback period on new stores than previously, reflecting the efficiency of its expansion strategy.A McKinsey report identifies several key trends shaping consumer behavior, including a notable rise in engagement among younger consumers, especially in lower-tier cities where confidence remains relatively high. This demographic is more inclined to explore new dining experiences and local cuisines, providing restaurants with opportunities to innovate and attract this growing market segment. The newly-opened stores of DPC Dash in new markets have enjoyed great popularity, with people forming long lines at new locations. In response, DPC Dash actively suspended delivery services for selected new stores to cater to the high demand for in-store dining.Long queue in front of Domino‘s Pizza store in China MainlandDPC Dash has continuously innovated its product offerings and services at value to better serve customers’ evolving tastes and provide satisfying dining experience. Domino’s Pizza has established a global reputation for tasty pizza products and very innovative menus. The company introduces new stock keeping units (SKUs) every six to eight weeks, on average. In the first seven months of 2024, DPC Dash introduced three new pizza varieties and two new crust options, such as barbeque pork stuffed crust and coconut and pumpkin double decker.Now the menu boasts over 30 pizza varieties and approximately 20 crust options, with pizza sales contributing more than 75% of the total sales. DPC Dash recently launched the new Volcano crust, filled with oozing cheddar cheese magma and Oreo crumbs. This unique concept in the pizza industry has already garnered positive feedback and recognition from the customers.Volcano Crust from Domino’s Pizza ChinaAt the same time, DPC Dash has been offering value options on its menu with regular promotions on “Crazy Tuesday & Wednesday” and the “Mega Weeks”. Limited-time promotions partnering with popular brands cross sectors, such as Tencent Games and Hello Kitty, have also proven attractive to customers.Meanwhile, brand marketing activities have become more targeted and cost-effective as the company strengthened its brand through network growth and strong performance in newly-entered markets. The Company has continuously enhanced its offering of personalized rewards, improving both new customer conversion and existing customer retention. As of August 2024, DPC Dash’s loyalty program has surpassed 20 million members, nearly doubling from 10.9 million members in June 2023. The Company continue to drive customer engagement, attracting new customers by dynamically engaging them through multiple online channels.To cater to the surging demand, DPC Dash has set up central kitchens in Sanhe, Shanghai and Dongguan. In the central kitchens, the Company has already introduced automated machines to further boost production efficiency and management capability, as well as to improve delivery efficiency. The success of the 4D strategy execution is reflected in enhanced profitability metrics on both store and group levels. The store-level operating profit margin increased to 14.5% in the first half of 2024, up from 13.5% in the same period last year. The store-level EBITDA margin increased to 19.3% in the first half of 2024, up from 18.7% in the first half of 2023. At the group level, group adjusted EBITDA reached RMB233.4 million, representing an 83.7% year-over-year increase from 127.0 million in the first half of 2023. Accordingly, group adjusted EBITDA margin rose to 11.4%, nearly tripling from 3.9% in year end of 2021.In addition to serving consumers, DPC Dash remains committed to delivering long-term value to its shareholders. Only one year after its successful listing on Hong Kong Stock Exchange, DPC Dash has been officially included in both the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect Program and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Connect Program, and has been selected to be a constituent stock for the Hong Kong Hang Seng Composite Index, effective in September. Reuters reported on September 27, "China stocks record best week since 2008." The New York Times stated, "The volatile Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong, which includes a range of companies with activities in Hong Kong and in mainland China, was also up 12.8 percent this week." DPC Dash's stock has experienced substantial growth since its IPO, increasing by over 20% in the past ten trading days as of September 27.DPC Dash has announced plans to open approximately 240 new stores in 2024, and will open its 1000th store in the fourth quarter of 2024. As of August 20, 2024, the Company has opened an additional 31 stores, with 29 stores under construction, and 21 stores signed, putting it on track to meet its full-year opening target. The company expects to open approximately 300 to 350 stores in both 2025 and 2026.The early months of 2024 have shown a remarkable 12.5% increase in foodservice sales, indicating a robust recovery in the hospitality sector, according to a report from McKinsey & Company. This surge reflects increased consumer confidence and a return to dining out as pandemic restrictions ease, suggesting that consumers are willing to spend more on experiences such as dining, which is crucial for the restaurant industry.Amid the attractive, growing market with its vast geographical scope and population, companies are striving for profitability and growth that requires more stable and resilient strategies. DPC Dash will continue to execute its 4D strategy in an efficient manner, aiming to deliver delicious pizza at value to customers, and sustainable long-term value for all stakeholders.

香港, 2024年9月30日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 2024年上半年，由于消费者偏好和消费习惯的变化以及竞争的加剧，餐饮行业面临着双重挑战。商品成本增加和价格竞争的压力使得行业整体盈利能力下降，多家大型餐饮企业宣告亏损。在艰难的市场环境中，达势股份（"达美乐中国"或"公司"）（1405.HK）逆势而上，构建以高质价比为核心的竞争逻辑，将市场变化转化为增长契机，取得了显著成绩。达势股份近期发布了2024年中期业绩报告。达美乐中国作为达美乐比萨在中国大陆、中国香港特别行政区和中国澳门特别行政区的独家总特许经营商，在2024年上半年成功实施了4D战略，即高质量的门店开发（Development）、高质价比的美味比萨（Delicious Pizza at Value）、高效的外送体验（Delivery）和数字化能力（Digital），在充满潜力的中国比萨市场实现了可持续增长和全面盈利。2024年上半年，达势股份收入再创新高，达到20.4亿元（人民币，下同），同比增长48.3%。稳健的收入增长反映了公司可持续的商业模式和抗周期性的战略布局，持续提升了盈利能力。公司的净利润和经调整净利润双双转正也反映了这一成果。2024年上半年，达势股份经调整净利润由负转正，达5,089万元，相较于去年同期的经调整净亏损1,745万元。此外，2024年上半年税后净利润达1,091万元，同比增长 24.6%，去年同期为875万元，其主要得益于可转换优先普通股公允价值收益约1.19亿元。公司强劲的盈利能力还体现在同店销售增长（SSSG）上，这一指标反映了相同门店在不同年度同一时期的销售额变化。在当前市场挑战加剧的情况下，维持同店销售增长具有挑战性。而达势股份已实现连续28个季度的同店销售增长，并持续扩展业务，展现出了强大的市场竞争力。作为全球最大比萨品牌之一达美乐比萨的独家总特许经营商，达势股份依托这一国际化品牌优势，成功执行 4D 战略，在潜力无限的中国比萨市场中不断取得成功。2024年上半年，达势股份继续实施"走深走广"策略，再拓四城，新增146家门店。截至2024年6月30日，运营门店总数已增至914家，覆盖33个城市。自2017年现任管理团队上任以来，达美乐中国门店数量已增长超八倍。新开门店表现优异。2024年上半年，来自新市场的收入占公司总收入的61%，新市场的门店数量也已超过总门店数量的一半，强力推进公司增长。今年5月，公司在一周内进驻台州、惠州、金华三个城市。惠州和金华首店开业即打破达势股份门店日销售额记录。2024年6月，公司在中国成都的第900家门店的盛大开业。截至2024年7月31日，达势股份在达美乐比萨全球系统的首30天销售排行榜中占据了前30名中28个席位。在新进入的市场中，达势股份继续扩大市场份额，开设更多门店，同时保持现有门店的强劲表现。从2023年12月底到2024年上半年，公司在十二座城市共开设了42家门店，其中有18家门店已实现投资回报。公司预计新店的平均回本期较过去将缩短，充分彰显其扩展战略的高效运作。麦肯锡《2024中国消费趋势调研》报告分析了影响消费市场的关键趋势，其中一个显著趋势是Z世代消费者展现出更高的消费意愿，尤其是在对宏观经济信心较高的低线城市。这一人群更倾向于探索新的用餐体验和当地美食，为餐厅提供了创新机会，吸引这一不断增长的市场群体。达美乐中国的新城新店吸引了众多消费者的目光。络绎不绝的人潮在新店门口排起长队，达美乐中国决定暂时关闭了部分新店的外送服务，以满足店内用餐及外带的客户体验和服务质量。顾客在达美乐比萨中国新店排起长队达美乐中国不断推陈出新，以更好地满足消费者日益多样化的口味需求，为顾客提供满意的用餐体验。达美乐比萨以美味比萨和创意菜单享誉全球。达美乐中国平均每6至8周推出美食新品。从2024年初到7月底，公司推出了包括三种全新比萨口味在内的多款新品，并开发了两种创新饼底，如黑金蜜汁叉烧卷边和爆浆椰椰南瓜双层饼底。截至目前，达美乐中国菜单拥有超过30种比萨和约20种饼底选择。这些丰富的选择使得比萨成为销售额中占比最大的品类，超过75%的销售额占比均来自于比萨。公司最新推出"火山"饼底，塑成"火山口"造型，甄选进口奶酪酱添加奥利奥饼干碎呈现"火山熔岩"。这一新概念在比萨行业独树一帜，更是获得消费者的积极反馈和认可。达美乐比萨中国火山饼底达美乐中国还为消费者提供高质价比的菜单，并推出"接二连三"（每周二和周三比萨七折优惠）和Mega Week（买一送一）等定期促销活动。同时，达美乐中国还与腾讯游戏、Hello Kitty等流行品牌合作推出限时合作促销活动，深受消费者青睐。公司通过门店网络扩展和新市场的强劲表现，不断增强品牌形象，使品牌营销活动更具针对性和高效。公司不断优化会员计划的个性化奖励机制，提高新客转化率和老客留存率。截至2024年8月，达势股份的会员计划"达人荟"取得显著的进展，会员人数已突破 2,000万人，几乎是2023年6月时期1,090万人的两倍。达势股份将继续推动消费者的积极参与，并通过多个在线渠道吸引新消费者。为满足日益增长的需求，公司在三河、上海和东莞三个核心地区设立中央厨房。公司已经在中央厨房引入一系列自动化设备以及先进的管理系统，提升生产效率和管理能力，并改善配送效率。达势股份4D战略的成功实施也体现在门店和集团层面的盈利指标提升上。2024年上半年，门店层面经营利润率从去年同期的13.5%提升至14.5%。集团层面，经调整EBITDA增长至2.3亿元，较2023年上半年的1.3亿元增长了83.7%。集团经调整EBITDA利润率也提升至11.4%，与 2021 年底的 3.9%相比增长了近两倍。除了服务消费者，达势股份仍然致力于为股东创造长期价值。在香港联交所上市仅一年之后，达势股份已正式被纳入香港恒生综合指数成分股，并被正式纳入沪港通和深港通，该变动于2024年9月生效。9月27日，路透报导称，"中国股市创下自2008年以来最佳周表现。"《纽约时报》指出，"向来波动剧烈的香港恒生指数本周迄今为止也上涨了12.9%，该指数包括一系列在香港和中国大陆开展业务的公司。"自上市以来，达势股份股价显著上涨，截至9月27日收盘的十个交易日内，股价上涨超过20%。达势股份早前已透露计划在2024年开设约240家新店，并在第四季度开设第1,000家门店。截至2024年8月20日，公司已增开31家新门店，目前另有29家门店在建设中，21家门店已签约，正按计划稳步向全年开店目标迈进。公司预计2025年和2026年将分别再新开设300至350家门店。麦肯锡《中国市场简报：中国消费者重新开始消费》报告指出，2024年1至2月，餐饮收入大幅增长12.5%，相关数据表明服务业强势复苏，原因可能在于消费者信心开始回升且人员流动性进一步回升。这意味着消费者愿意在用餐等体验上增加花费，对餐饮业至关重要。中国市场拥有广阔的地理范围和庞大的人口，极具吸引力且不断增长。在这个市场中，众多企业都面临着如何在确保盈利增长的同时，保持战略稳定性和韧性的挑战。在这样的背景下，达势股份将继续高效执行4D战略，为消费者提供高质价比的比萨的同时，创造一个具有可持续性长期价值的业务模式。 Copyright 2024 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

SYDNEY, AU, Sept 30, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - SSLTrust, a leading global provider of digital certificates for public key infrastructure, has identified the APAC region as needing a new local issuing Certificate Authority.Verokey LogoVerokey, the new Australian Issuing Certificate AuthorityCurrently, in the APAC region, SSLTrust has been pushing international Certificate Authority products for Australia to the forefront, which has been welcomed by customers but with limited acceptance, mainly in terms of price. So launching a new Australian-based issuing Certificate Authority, Verokey, using the same infrastructure, has been very well accepted by customers to overcome that hurdle. Verokey has proven instrumental in fundamental security for Australian and Asia Pacific businesses and government entities while providing the best solutions at affordable prices. This success is in addition to SSLTrust's customer-centric approach to PKI solutions and their implementation.Unlike many other Certificate Providers in Australia and the Asia Pacific, we can provide customers with a high level of local support via phone, email, online chat and onsite assistance. We help customer manage all their Certificates through their very own feature-rich account while benefiting from the lower priced Verokey productsSSLTrust's Managing Director, Paul Baka, explains how this lets users have quality products to the likes of other Certificate Authorities but with an added level of quality support and better local pricing - a feature that's not otherwise readily available in Australia.Purchasing Certificates to secure networks, devices, websites, and more has historically been a significant headache for Australian organisations, with the costs constantly rising and exceeding allocated budgets. In the last two years alone, customers of the overseas-based Certificate Authorities have seen price increases upward of 50%. And when organisations weigh these against the benefits, they start to question the requirements of these higher-priced solutions. That is where Verokey helps by providing the same solutions and products (sometimes exceeding current offerings) while still keeping the prices affordable so organisations can maintain their security and meet budget limitations.Paulunderscores the company's unwavering commitment to meeting unique customer requests. This dedication to customer satisfaction is a key differentiator for SSLTrust, setting it apart from other resellers or Certificate Authorities and reassuring customers that SSLTrust is always ready to go the extra mile to meet their requirements, making them feel accommodated and understood.Critical features of SSLTrust's repertoire of products through the new Verokey Issuing Certificate Authority include (but are not limited to):More competitive prices than were previously available in APACRapid service and streamlined issuance processesPKI Certificate Lifecycle Management SolutionsAmple support systems provided by web security expertsAs the importance of digital trust increases, so does the value of high-end SSL/TLS certificates and their ease of management.Keyko Press Release: (+61) 02 8123 0992Contact InformationHollie AcresAccount Managerinfo@keyko.com.au+61 2 8123 0992Related FilesverokeySOURCE: SSLTrust Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
