DPC Dash – Domino's Pizza China 2024 Full-Year Performance Soars: Strategic Deepening and Efficiency Improvement Forge Profit Milestone

HONG KONG, Mar 28, 2025 - (ACN Newswire) - China's consumer market has shown strong resilience, driven by policy guidance and demand release. In 2024, domestic consumer market vitality strengthened as consumer enthusiasm grew steadily, and experts predict that consumption will maintain a trend of stable growth in 2025. Against this backdrop of steady growth in the consumer market, DPC Dash – Domino’s Pizza China released its full-year earnings results on March 27, 2025, reaffirming its leading position in the Chinese pizza market with an impressive report card that combines scale and quality. In 2024, 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, achieved sustainable growth and profitability in the promising Chinese pizza market driven by its 4D strategy: Development, Delicious Pizza at Value, Delivery, and Digital. The company's annual revenues reached RMB4.31 billion, a year-on-year increase of 41.4%, and adjusted net profit surged 1,394.2% year-on-year, with the Company achieving both positive annual as-reported and adjusted net profit for the first time. Strategic Deepening: Full-Chain Competitiveness from Store Network to Digitalization DPC Dash’s growth momentum stems from its continuous deepening of the 4D strategy. In terms of store network development, the company adopted a "go deeper, go broader" store network strategy, with a net increase of 240 stores throughout the year and nearly 90% of new stores located in cities outside of the top tier, bringing the total number of stores to over 1,008, covering 39 cities in mainland China. The accelerated expansion of the store network reflects DPC Dash's strong confidence in seizing market opportunities. According to Frost & Sullivan data, DPC Dash ranked second in pizza sales nationwide in 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the Chinese mainland market ranked as the third-largest Domino's Pizza international market by store count. At the beginning of 2025, the Company’s entry into six new cities, including Nanchang and Yantai, further expanded the national market layout, demonstrating the company's ongoing commitment to its expansion strategy. DPC Dash announced plans to open approximately 300 new stores in 2025. From early 2025 to March 14, 2025, it has opened an additional 82 stores, with 26 stores under construction, and 62 stores signed, securing 56% of its annual opening target and placing the Company firmly on track to complete the high-quality store expansion plan on schedule. Meanwhile, new stores in new cities are showing strong sales momentum, gradually enhancing the brand's influence. The Shenyang debut store set a new global record with approximately RMB11.1 million in revenue during its first month. The payback periods for the 80 new stores that opened in 18 new cities between December 2023 and December 2024 average 12 months. As of early 2025, DPC Dash holds all 40 top positions in Domino's global system for first 30-day sales, proving the brand's explosive appeal in mainland Chinese cities. Both store-level and company-level profitability indicators have significantly improved, with store-level operating profit and store-level operating profit margin continuing to grow, while adjusted net profit improved nearly tenfold. A robust product portfolio and operational efficiency synergy combine to provide another growth engine for DPC Dash. Through innovative combinations of 30 pizza varieties and approximately 20 crust options, DPC Dash accurately captures local consumer preferences, driving repeat purchases among young customers with various popular crusts. Due to high dine-in and carry-out demand in new markets, the Company suspended delivery services temporarily at some locations to meet consumers’ needs, with plans to gradually resume them at appropriate times, which also provides a potential source of future growth. Relying on central kitchens and a digital delivery system, DPC Dash’s "30-minute delivery" and supply chain efficiency optimization not only ensures user experience but also drives store-level operating profit margin up to 14.5%. A breakthrough in digital capabilities is another highlight. In 2024, the company won several awards, including the Best Digitalization Award (Food and Dining Category) at the 15th Tiger Roar Awards and Top 20 Digitalized Enterprise by CDIE 2024. The digital-driven order system and refined operations of over 24.5 million members continuously improve labor efficiency and store efficiency. Classic promotional activities such as “Crazy Tuesday & Wednesday" and "Mega Week (BOGO)" on its self-operated online ordering channels in select cities, along with multiple limited-time brand collaboration activities with Tencent, NetEase and others, further enhanced consumer goodwill and strengthened consumer-brand interaction in 2024. Additionally, the intelligent transformation of the supply chain infrastructure will gradually reduce costs, providing underlying support for profitability improvement. Industry Resonance: Positioning in the Hundred-Billion Market, Globalization and Localization Progress Together DPC Dash’s explosive growth is closely intertwined with the release of industry dividends. According to data from industry research reports, the scale of China's pizza market is expected to reach RMB60.8 billion in 2025 and exceed RMB77.1 billion in 2027, with a compound annual growth rate of 15%. The online market opportunities are opening up incremental space for leading brands. In 2022, the online share of China's pizza industry surpassed offline at 58.1%, and the industry will further accelerate its digital transformation. DPC Dash continues to expand its market share with its first-mover advantage in the digital delivery system. The combination of global resources and localized innovation further strengthens its competitive advantages. Backed by the brand reputation and R&D experience of over 21,300 Domino's Pizza stores worldwide, the company can bring a global experience through signature products while offering localized flavors for Chinese consumers. This “international gene plus local operation" model creates a dual moat in brand recognition and product adaptability. Future Blueprint: Dual Symphony of Scale Expansion and Deepening Efficiency In 2024, DPC Dash successfully opened its 1,000th store in Chengdu, Sichuan, marking an important milestone in the company's development history. Standing on the milestone of its first thousand stores, DPC Dash is accelerating towards the next stage. Recognition from the capital market also injects confidence into the Company’s sustainable development . In 2024, it was selected as a constituent stock for the Hong Kong Hang Seng Composite Index, and included in both the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect Program and the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect Program. DPC Dash was also included in New Fortune's "2024 Best Hong Kong Listed Companies" ranking, and received the 2023 Best IPO Award from China Financial Market 2024 and other accolades. Since its IPO in 2023, as of the date of this article, the Company's stock price has risen nearly 120% from the issue price of HK$46, with a market capitalization exceeding HK$13 billion. Its liquidity has also significantly improved. As industry concentration increases and consumption upgrade trends deepen, DPC Dash, with its strategic determination and execution capabilities, is positioned to continue to lead in the hundred-billion market, writing a new chapter of steady growth.

Additionally, the intelligent transformation of the supply chain infrastructure will gradually reduce costs, providing underlying support for profitability improvement.Industry Resonance: Positioning in the Hundred-Billion Market, Globalization and Localization Progress TogetherDPC Dash’s explosive growth is closely intertwined with the release of industry dividends. According to data from industry research reports, the scale of China's pizza market is expected to reach RMB60.8 billion in 2025 and exceed RMB77.1 billion in 2027, with a compound annual growth rate of 15%. The online market opportunities are opening up incremental space for leading brands. In 2022, the online share of China's pizza industry surpassed offline at 58.1%, and the industry will further accelerate its digital transformation. DPC Dash continues to expand its market share with its first-mover advantage in the digital delivery system.The combination of global resources and localized innovation further strengthens its competitive advantages. Backed by the brand reputation and R&D experience of over 21,300 Domino's Pizza stores worldwide, the company can bring a global experience through signature products while offering localized flavors for Chinese consumers. This “international gene plus local operation" model creates a dual moat in brand recognition and product adaptability.Future Blueprint: Dual Symphony of Scale Expansion and Deepening EfficiencyIn 2024, DPC Dash successfully opened its 1,000th store in Chengdu, Sichuan, marking an important milestone in the company's development history. Standing on the milestone of its first thousand stores, DPC Dash is accelerating towards the next stage.Recognition from the capital market also injects confidence into the Company’s sustainable development . In 2024, it was selected as a constituent stock for the Hong Kong Hang Seng Composite Index, and included in both the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect Program and the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect Program.DPC Dash was also included in New Fortune's "2024 Best Hong Kong Listed Companies" ranking, and received the 2023 Best IPO Award from China Financial Market 2024 and other accolades. Since its IPO in 2023, as of the date of this article, the Company's stock price has risen nearly 120% from the issue price of HK$46, with a market capitalization exceeding HK$13 billion. Its liquidity has also significantly improved. As industry concentration increases and consumption upgrade trends deepen, DPC Dash, with its strategic determination and execution capabilities, is positioned to continue to lead in the hundred-billion market, writing a new chapter of steady growth.

HKTDC Export Confidence Index 1Q25 ACN Newswire

HKTDC Export Confidence Index 1Q25

HONG KONG, Mar 26, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The findings of the 1Q25 HKTDC Export Confidence Index showed confidence among Hong Kong exporters has risen moderately, despite the sizable tariff hikes imposed by the US on its trading partners around the world.In specific terms, the Current Performance Index (a measure of actual performance for the quarter in question) rose by 1.8 points to 52.1. Equally reassuringly, the Expectation Index (a measure of confidence in likely performance in the coming quarter) was up by 1.0 points to 51.0. Both readings were above the watermark level of 50, which can be taken as confirming general optimism with regard to future export prospects.Given the likely impact of the series of higher tariffs imposed by the US in the last two months, the HKTDC has slightly adjusted its 2025 Hong Kong export growth forecast from 4% to 3%. There remains a downside risk to the forecast given the uncertainty over any future escalation in global trade tension.Commenting on the revised forecast and the 1Q25 findings, Irina Fan, Director of HKTDC Research, said: “It’s a testament to the resilience of Hong Kong’s export sector that growth is still indicated. While export business may be growing at a moderately slower rate than had been initially anticipated, there are still many reasons to be optimistic.”“This is partly down to the agility and flexibility many Hong Kong exporters have demonstrated in terms of strategies for future-proofing their business activities.”From the findings of the 1Q25 survey, it is clear a range of strategies, including diversifying sourcing, expanding into new markets and the relocation of production lines, have been very much front-of-mind for many of Hong Kong’s export-oriented businesses. These moves, it is believed, will help enterprises mitigate the adverse effects of any current or future protectionist measures.Overall, despite a more challenging global trade backdrop, it was encouraging to note the majority of survey respondents (75.4%) remained confident their 2025 net profit margins would either rise or remain stable. This was notably higher than the 72.1% of respondents expressing the same sentiment in 4Q24, while also being the highest such figure for 12 months.In terms of market prospects, uncertainties over its trading stance have inevitably clouded the general views of the US. Tellingly, the Current Performance figure for the country was 47.8, with its 3.1 point quarter-on-quarter decline taking it below the watermark level of 50 for the first time in 12 months.Exporter sentiment, however, remained largely positive when looking beyond the US market, particularly with reference to Mainland China, the EU and the ASEAN bloc. In all, the Current Performance Index reading for Mainland China was up 6.7 points to 59.0 (compared to 4Q24) while the comparable finding for the EU was up 3.8 points to 50.1. The reading for the ASEAN bloc (56.4), meanwhile, remained solidly in expansionary territory.Nicholas Fu, Senior Economist, said “A similar pattern was in evidence in the case of the Expectation Index. This saw Mainland China up 3.0 points to 55.7, followed by the ASEAN bloc (53.0) and the EU (52.7). The US was again down, falling by 4.3 points to hit a one-year low of 46.7.”In terms of more general findings, Jewellery (at 53.1 points) was the most upbeat industry sector with regard to 1Q25 Current Performance, followed by Electronics (52.3) and Timepieces (51.2). In terms of Expectation, Jewellery (54.4), Equipment/Materials (52.6) and Timepiece (51.1) exporters were most optimistic as to their likely future performance.AppendixThe HKTDC Export Confidence Index has been designed to provide a comprehensive overview of Hong Kong exporter sentiment. It comprises two primary / overall indices, one of which gauges the Current Performance with regard to the surveyed quarter, while the other considers Expectation for the upcoming quarter. The findings of both indices are based on a weighted average of five sub-indices – Sales and New Orders, Trade Value, Cost, Procurement, and Inventory.Full details of the methodology / definitions relating to the HKTDC Export Confidence Index can be found in the Appendix section of the full quarterly report.ReferencesHKTDC Export Confidence Index 1Q25: Export Confidence Improves Despite Growing Trade TensionsHKTDC Research websitePhoto download: bit.ly/3QMQHmUHKTDC Director of Research Irina Fan (left) and Senior Economist Nicholas Fu (right) announced the HKTDC Export Confidence Index for the first quarter of 2025 at a press conference todayHKTDC Director of Research Irina FanHKTDC Senior Economist Nicholas FuMedia enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communication and Public Affairs Department:Fraser LiAgnes WatTel: (852) 2584 4369Tel: (852) 2584 4554Email: fraser.li@hktdc.orgEmail: agnes.ky.wat@hktdc.orgAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is a statutory body established in 1966 to promote, assist and develop Hong Kong's trade.

Asia’s airports take the lead at inter airport Southeast Asia 2025 kicks off the conference, driving conversations on the future of airport operations and passenger experience

Set to welcome 4,000 airport professionals, 150 international exhibitors, 4 dynamic pavilions, and 53 speakers from 66 countries and regions, IASEA 2025 is poised to shape the future of airport operations and passenger experience throughout the next 3 daysSINGAPORE, Mar 25, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The much-anticipated inter airport Southeast Asia (IASEA) 2025 has officially opened today at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, bringing together key airport industry stakeholders, global solution providers, and leading experts to shape the future of airport operations and passenger experience.Themed “Airport Operations for Tomorrow”, conversations surrounding these topics are especially crucial as the aviation industry is witnessing rapid transformation and projected global passenger traffic to reach 19.5 billion by 2042.Day 1 morning highlights: Keynotes and expert insightsThe opening day of IASEA 2025 set an exciting tone with thought-provoking discussions and visionary insights from industry leaders. The fireside chat on 'Reshaping Global Airport Operations', led by Patrick Ky, CEO, International Centre for Aviation Innovation (ICAI) and moderated by Glory Wee, Senior Director, Aviation Development Group, Civil Aviation Authority Singapore (CAAS), discussed the fundamental shift they anticipate airport operations will face and how airports must evolve to balance the imperatives of efficiency, resilience, and sustainability. When asked to share one game-changing technology that will redefine the industry, Patrick Ky shared that “innovation that drives data sharing will be key”, but that would require many regulatory aspects and willingness from airports to share with each other. This would take time, but it is key to building a stronger future. “It is clear from our discussion that in order to reshape airport operations, it is not just about technological advancements but also about setting standards, data integrity, collaborations, and sharing best practices. Above all, the industry needs to work towards building trust with partners and eco-system players,” said Glory Wee, Senior Director, Aviation Development Group, Civil Aviation Authority Singapore (CAAS). At the show, leading airports, including Narita International Airport Corporation, and Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV), presented case studies highlighting their technological integrations, regional growth strategies, and efforts to meet rising demand while enhancing passenger experience. Shinichiro Motomiya, General Manager, Narita International Airport Corporation, presented the ‘New Narita Airport’ expansion project for the 2030s, which includes extending an existing runway, constructing a new runway, improving connectivity into the city, building a new cargo area, and consolidating this into a single terminal to accommodate the expected increase of passenger capacity from 57 to 75 million and cargo capacity from 2.4 to 3.5 million tons at Narita International Airport.Separately, Vietnam’s aviation sector is experiencing rapid growth, with domestic travel projected to increase by over 20% from 2023 to 2027. To meet this soaring demand, Nguyen Dang Minh, Director of Airport Operations Department, Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV), shared ACV’s master plan to develop a robust and resilient airport network by 2050. By 2030, ACV will equip 30 airports across the country with a combined capacity to handle 275.9 million passengers and 4.1 million tons of cargo annually. By 2050, the network will expand to 33 airports (14 international and 19 domestic), ensuring that 97% of the population has access to an airport within 100 kilometres. The total investment for this extensive development is estimated to reach 420,000 billion VND.At the heart of this transformation is the Long Thanh International Airport project, positioned as a key national aviation hub and one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in the region. The project is divided into three phases:Phase 1 (2025): Complete Terminal 1 with two runways and a cargo terminal, which will have the capacity to handle 25 million passengers.Phase 2 (2025-2030): Construction of Terminal 2, which will increase the airport’s capacity to 50 million passengers.Phase 3 (2035-2040): Two additional runways (T3 and T4 Terminals), reaching a total capacity of 100 million passengers.This year’s IASEA 2025 welcomes a delegation of leaders from major international airports in Vietnam, including Long Thanh International Airport—one of the world's most expensive greenfield airport projects—Noi Bai Airport, Danang Airport, Cat Bi Airport, Phu Quoc Airport, and Cam Ranh International Terminal.Mr. Nguyen Cao Cuong, Deputy General Director, Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV), shared during his opening remarks, “Under the direction of the Prime Minister of Vietnam, ACV's delegation at this expo is actively seeking high-quality, potential partners in technology, equipment, and airport operations to collaborate in accelerating the completion of Long Thanh, ensuring it meets the highest international standards. This show is not only a valuable opportunity for ACV to explore cutting-edge technologies and advanced management models but also a chance for all of us to discuss strategies for the collective growth of airport networks in Southeast Asia."What to look out for in IASEA 2025?Over the course of three days, groundbreaking discussions and innovations are taking centre stage, redefining efficiency, sustainability, and automation in ground handling and airport logistics.

Basic earnings per share were NTD2.43cents. During the period under review, revenue from turnkey solutions amounted to approximately NTD418.45 million, accounting for approximately 44.90% of the Group’s total revenue. The revenue from the trading of parts and used Semiconductor Manufacturer Equipment (SME) amounted to approximately NTD513.51 million, accounting for approximately 55.10% of the Group’s total revenue. During the period under review, under the ongoing geopolitical tensions, the Group has established a solid strategic direction, as well as deepened cooperation with existing international clients and actively explored new models of collaboration. The Group’s revenue from operations in Japan significantly increased by 2,667.38% compared with last year, representing approximately 5.67% of the Group’s total revenue, while revenue from operations in Singapore increased by 41.56% from last year, representing approximately 12.29% of the Group’s total revenue.Since 2024, the semiconductor industry has seen a significant recovery and entered an upward cycle. Given that the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) technology provides a new driver for the continuous development of the industry, it is generally predicted that generative AI will affect more than 70% of semiconductor products in the coming years. According to the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), global semiconductor chip sales hit record high at USD627.6 billion in 2024, representing an increase of 19.1%, benefiting from strong demand for AI processors and memory.

Looking ahead to 2025, advanced chips will continue to drive the output growth of semiconductor industry, and Taiwan's semiconductor industry is projected to reach a total production value of NTD5.52 trillion in 2025, representing a 15.9% increase.Mr.Yang Ming-Hsiang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer concluded: “Although the semiconductor industry is expected to continue its upward trajectory, it will be subject to certain uncertainties, including geopolitical risks, volatility of global economic policies, changes in end-market demand and dynamic adjustment on demand and supply from new production capacity. In addition, the continued Sino-U.S. semiconductor technology rivalry, especially the tightened control of AI chips export across the globe by the United States, will become a critical and unneglectable issue in the development of semiconductor industry.

2024年年度業績亮點- 業務總收益約新台幣931.96百萬元- 本公司擁有人應佔年度利潤約新台幣 24.28百萬元- 統包解決方案的收益約新台幣418.45百萬元- 每股基本盈利為新台幣 2.43 仙香港, 2025年3月25日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 靖洋集團控股有限公司(「靖洋集團」或「集團」,股份代號:8257.HK)宣佈截至 2024年12月 31 日止年度(「回顧期內」)之業績。回顧期內,集團總收益約新台幣 931.96 百萬元。本公司擁有人應佔年度利潤約新台幣24.28百萬元。每股基本盈利為新台幣2.43仙。回顧期內,統包解決方案的收益約新台幣 418.45百萬元,佔集團總收益約44.90%。零件及二手半導體製造設備買賣的收益約新台幣513.51百萬元,佔集團總收益約55.10%。回顧期內,面對地緣政治局勢的持續緊張,集團制定了穩健的戰略方向,並鞏固與現有國際客戶的合作關係,且積極開拓新的合作模式。集團源自日本業務的收入較去年大幅增加2,667.38%,佔集團總收益約5.67%,而源自新加坡業務的收入則較去年增加41.56%,佔集團總收益約12.29%。自2024年以來,半導體行業顯著復甦,並迎來上行週期。AI技術的興起為該行業的持續發展挹注新驅動力,業界普遍預測,未來數年生成式AI將影響逾七成的半導體產品。根據半導體產業協會(SIA)報告指出,受益於 AI 處理器和記憶體的強勁需求,2024 年全球半導體晶片銷售額增長19.1%至 6,276 億美元,創下新高,而第四季度銷售額為 1,709 億美元,較 2023 年第四季度增長 17.1%,相較 2024 年第三季度增長 3.0%。資策會產業情報研究所(MIC)預估,2024年台灣半導體產業產值將達新台幣4.76兆,增長21.3%。隨著主流通訊產品回穩並呈現增長態勢,為個別次產業帶來增長動能。其展望2025年,先進晶片將持續引領台灣半導體產值增長,預估2025年台灣半導體整體產值將增長15.9%,達新台幣5.52兆。靖洋集團主席兼行政總裁楊名翔先生總結:「儘管半導體產業預計將維持其增長趨勢,但這將受到多重變數所影響,包括地緣政治風險、全球經濟政策的波動、終端市場需求的變化,以及新增產能所帶來的供需動態調整。此外,美中半導體科技競爭的持續,特別是美國在全球範圍內收緊對AI晶片的出口限制,均將成為半導體產業發展中不可忽視的重要方面。因此,集團將密切關注這些變數,審慎且靈活應對各種市場轉變,確保其可持續發展,並把握發展機遇,強化核心競爭力,為股東創造長期價值。」關於靖洋集團控股有限公司(股份代號:8257.HK)靖洋集團控股有限公司為一間總部位於台灣的零件及二手半導體製造設備的統包解決方案供應商及出口商。集團自於2009年開始業務以來,主要為客戶提供零件二手半導體製造設備件的統包解決方案,按客戶需要改造及/或升級其生產系統的半導體設備,亦從事半導體製造設備及其零件買賣。集團所提供的半導體製造設備及零件包括熱爐管、顯影裝置等,用於半導體的前端製造過程、晶圓加工,如沉積、光阻塗佈及顯影,更可廣泛應用於手機、遊戲機、DVD播放機,以及車用感應器等數碼電子產品。本新聞稿由滙滔顧問有限公司代表靖洋集團控股有限公司發佈。詳情垂詢:劉育然小姐電話:(852) 2529 7999電郵:Natural.lau@vitalink.com.hk Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
