Rowe Price, Marc Wyatt, joined remotely to share that “with the help of the Symphony team, we successfully connected the Global Trading organization at T.

SMA Solar Technology AG: Managing Board raises earnings forecast for current fiscal year

NIESTETAL, GERMANY – EQS Newswire – 27 October 2022 – The Managing Board of SMA Solar Technology AG (SMA/FWB: S92) has raised its earnings forecast for the fiscal year 2022. The new forecast predicts operating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of €60 million to €75 million (previously: €10 million to €60 million). As reasons for raising the forecast, the Managing Board cites the continued high level of incoming orders and a gradually improving supply of electronic components, which should lead to a business performance in the fourth quarter that exceeds previous expectations. In addition, a special effect in the lower double-digit million euro range from the sale of real estate had a positive impact on the earnings of SMA in the third quarter. For the operating earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), the Managing Board expects a range of €22 million to €37 million (previously: €–30 million to €20 million). Net cash is expected to amount to around 190 million euros at the end of the year according to the new Managing Board forecast (previously: around €175 million).

Business Review

Mortgage loan business

In FP2023, the interest income of the mortgage loan business of the Group increased by 5.8% to approximately HK$45.3 million, which accounted for approximately 55.3% of the Group’s total revenue. As at 31 August 2022, the gross mortgage loan receivable was approximately HK$836.7 million and during the period, the total new mortgage loans granted amounted to approximately HK$375.0 million. The net interest margin of the mortgage loan business increased by 0.8 percentage point to 10.6% and there were 54 new cases of mortgage loan transactions in FP2023.

The Group continued to keep a close eye on the performance of its loan portfolio, especially in respect to the repayment status of existing customers. As a result, there was no bad debt recorded during the period. In FP2023, the loan-to-value ratio for first mortgage was approximately 53.7%, while the overall loan-to-value ratio for subordinate mortgage was approximately 51.7%, of which, loan-to-value ratio of subordinate mortgage that the Group participated in was approximately 5.1%.

Pawn Loan Business

In FP2023, the interest income generated from the pawn loan business increased by 19.7% to approximately HK$34.6 million. It is mainly attributable to the prevailing trend in investing luxury goods, which promoted the relevant re-financing needs. However, due to the price fluctuation of second-hand luxury market, the Group recorded gain from disposal on repossessed assets of approximately HK$2.1 million, representing a decrease of 53.3%. During the period, the Group continued to channel resources to advertising and promotion in order to enhance the brand exposure. Such effort has generated demand of one-to-one pawn loan appointment services for pawn loans of loan size exceeding HK$0.1 million. Number of pawn loan transactions with such amount granted increased by 130 transactions to 357 transactions in FP2023 and average loan amount increased to approximately HK$15,000 per transaction.

In September 2022, the Group successfully acquired approximately HK$8.0 million pawn loan receivables (principal amount) and opened a new pawnshop in Tuen Mun. Together with this new pawnshop, the Group is currently operating a total of 11 pawnshops. In addition, the Group continued to develop its mobile app that enables customers to obtain pawn loans easily. The app is expected to help promote the Group’s pawn loan business at a lower promotional cost.

Prospects

With the pandemic situation continue to be more stable, the Hong Kong government has eased travel restrictions to “0+3” quarantine-free medical surveillance. However, the market still remains conservative and the management expect the economic activities in Hong Kong will be steady strides along the path to normalcy if and only if all travel restrictions are lifted entirely. The Board is of the view that the reopen of Hong Kong and Mainland China border and an eventual economic recovery in the Mainland China could become a new tailwind of local economy. At the same time, the rising interest rates enable the Group to improve its net interest margin and overall profitability. Before that, the Group will continue to remain prudent when granting loans and closely monitor the credit risk of its loan portfolio and wait for market recovery.

In view of the rising loan demand, the Group is actively exploring to expand its branch network to more convenient locations (such as MTR stations) and serve as premium service centres for both pawn loan and mortgage loan. The Group plans to integrate with fintech and is currently developing a mobile APP that enable customers to make online appointments, get a quote of collateral evaluation and apply for pawn loan, etc.

Mr. Edward Chan, Chairman and CEO of the Company, said, “Although economic activities are gradually resuming with the stabilization of the pandemic, the Group remains prudent in exploring and seizing new business opportunities while continuing to strike a balance between business growth and risk management. Looking forward, we hope to maximize return for shareholders and to further create value for them in the long run.”

TRON Founder Justin Sun Gives a Speech at BWB 2022: Blockchain Is the Foundation for Future Digital Cities

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – Media OutReach – 27 October 2022 – On October 27, TRON founder Justin Sun virtually attended Blockchain Week in Busan 2022, or BWB 2022, and gave a speech themed “The Cities of Tomorrow”. “Blocks will build the foundation for future digital cities, and the economy will be decentralized and digital in the future,” said he, “With over 117 million users, TRON is pioneering the decentralized future economy and will further unleash the potential of digital economy by devising and taking more decentralized measures such as dApps. We hope to build thriving digital cities in this way.”

Sun proceeded to comment that the mass adoption of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency will effectively facilitate the development of digital cities and offer innovative solutions to concerns troubling cities today, such as cybersecurity threats, inefficient technology, inadequate energy, infrastructure maintenance, affordable housing, and accessible education.

“Mass adoption is upon us. This event’s host, Busan of South Korea, is leading the way. They aim to boost their economy with the integration of cryptocurrencies, enhance their governmental systems with blockchain technology, and secure their digital future with Metaverse development.”

As a representative from the blockchain world, Sun has been committed to contributing to global sustainable development with blockchain technology. He emphasized in his speech the future trend of a compliant, inclusive, and green digital world, and his TRON, one of the top three public chains in the world, has been striving for such a vision and made tangible progress.

TRON and its cryptos have achieved compliance in multiple countries. Its VanEck TRON ETN (VTRX) was listed on Deutsche Börse’s digital platform Xetra and subsequently accepted by 14 European countries, including the UK and the Netherlands, for trading. Moreover, TRON was recently appointed the Caribbean island country Domonica’s designated national blockchain infrastructure. The seven cryptos under TRON were granted legal tender status and became the country’s authorized digital currency.

TRON also engages in international multilateral cooperation, where it joins hands with top-notch platforms and institutions for better industry development and inclusive finance across the globe. In the meantime, Sun has been promoting, by leveraging his position as the Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Grenada to the WTO, the utilization of blockchain technologies in international trade. As of now, TRON’s native token TRX has been circulating on exchanges and platforms in Europe, North America, and Asia, reaching industries and users across the globe by enhancing its international presence and compliance.

TRON’s endeavor in ecological conservation is acknowledged by the world-renowned Crypto Carbon Ratings Institute (CCRI), which has rated it as one of the most eco-friendly blockchains. As per CCRI, TRON’s DPoS consensus algorithm helps the platform to reduce its carbon footprint, and its yearly energy consumption is 99.9% less than the power consumed by Bitcoin.

Sun is convinced that sustainable development is irresistible and will ultimately prevail in the global society and that blockchains will underpin a better and more efficient world.

On top of that, Justin Sun, as a member of the Global Advisory Board of Huobi Global, delivered opening remarks via video for BWB 2022’s Huobi session. “Even though the market has been bearish for crypto this year, blockchain technology still holds great possibilities,” Sun stated in his speech, “Thanks to the hard work of crypto enthusiasts, the value of blockchain has been seen by more people in the past years, and the industry is destined for a brighter future.” He also said South Korea is one of the most crypto-active countries and hoped that the unfolding BWB 2022 could engage more developers and innovative projects, making a difference in the blockchain world.

BWB 2022, sponsored by Huobi Global with other crypto organizations, is the first blockchain conference in South Korea that Huobi Global has attended since the acquisition. In mid-October, Sun was appointed as a member of the Global Advisory Board of Huobi Global and has since been working with his peers on industry development, academic research, and compliance to help guide and grow the organization. By enhancing cross-institutional collaboration, Huobi is poised to win the acknowledgment of more users with a better brand image and sharpened competitiveness, forging towards new milestones.

BWB 2022 was hosted by the Busan government and co-sponsored by Huobi, Binance, and FTX. The event was held from October 27 to 29 at the Busan Exhibition and Convention Center (BEXCO). Justin Sun, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), Sam Bankman-Fried, and other crypto leaders attended this event and discussed Blockchain, City and Life.
