HONG KONG, Nov 24, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – On 24 November, Chuangxin Industries Holdings Limited (“Chuangxin Industries” or the “Company”, 02788.HK), a leading integrated producer of electrolytic aluminum and alumina in China, was officially listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The Company offered a total of 500 million shares globally, with approximately 10% under the Hong Kong Public Offering and approximately 90% under International Offering. The Hong Kong public Offering was oversubscribed by 447.2 times. The final offer price was HK$10.99 per share, with a board lots of 500 shares, raising gross proceeds of approximately HK$ 5,495 million from the global offering. Seventeen cornerstone investors — including Hillhouse, China Hongqiao, Taikang Life, Glencore AG, and Mercuria — subscribed for an aggregate of US$351 million at the offer price, representing nearly 50% of the global offering. As of today’s market close, the Company recorded a strong trading debut, closing at HK$14.59, up 32.76%.Driven by Green Energy and Integrated Strengths to Shape a New Landscape in the Aluminum IndustryChuangxin Industries focuses on the aluminum industry, specializing in alumina refining and aluminum smelting, with operations spanning the production and sales of both electrolytic aluminum and alumina products. The Company has built an integrated ecosystem covering “energy — alumina refining — aluminum smelting”. Since 2012, the Company has established a strong presence in two resource-rich regions—Huolinguole, Inner Mongolia and Binzhou, Shandong Province—achieving a high degree of self-sufficiency in alumina and electricity supply. Leveraging stable, low-cost electricity, the Company maintains efficient production and enhances operational performance. In 2024, its alumina self-sufficiency rate reached approximately 84% and electricity self-sufficiency rate about 88%, significantly above the industry average. At the same time, the Company continues to invest in R&D, advance the integration of the aluminum value chain, and accelerate its green transition to build a more efficient and sustainable production model. At the listing ceremony, Mr. Cui Lixin, Chairman of Chuangxin Industries, stated: “The successful listing of Chuangxin Industries marks a new starting point for us to drive transformation across talent, products, energy and capital. We will further strengthen our advantages in cost, quality, technology and service, and focus on globalization, green development, high-end manufacturing and intelligent innovation, accelerating our journey toward becoming a green aluminum industry group in the global market.”Mr. Cui Lixin, Chairman and Non-executive Director of Chuangxin Industries, attended the listing ceremony at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.Chuangxin Industries fully explores wind and solar energy to establish a stable green power aluminum business. Several of its self-owned wind and solar plants have already commenced operation, and the Company plans to increase the proportion of green energy usage to over 50% by the end of 2026. This not only helps reduce electricity costs but also enhances the Company’s long-term sustainability. Leveraging its integrated ecosystem and low-cost power advantages, the Company maintains strong competitiveness in operations, production capacity, and raw material supply. Based on its 2024 production output, Chuangxin Industries’ aluminum smelter in Huolinguole, Inner Mongolia has become the fourth-largest electrolytic aluminum production base in North China. Its high-quality, low-carbon products further strengthen the Company’s competitive position in both domestic and international markets.Over the past few years, the Company has maintained steady growth in its performance. Revenue increased from RMB 13.49 billion in 2022 to RMB 13.815 billion in 2023, and further to RMB 15.163 billion in 2024. For the first five months of 2025, revenue reached RMB 7.214 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 22.6%. Benefiting from the synergies between its alumina and electrolytic aluminum businesses and its low-cost advantages, the Company’s gross profit margin has improved each year, rising from 15.1% in 2022 to 16.9% in 2023 and further to 28.2% in 2024. Net profit rose from RMB 913 million in 2022 to RMB 1.081 billion in 2023, and surged further to RMB 2.63 billion in 2024. This consistent growth demonstrates not only the strong resilience of the Company’s core business but also its ability to navigate market volatility, laying a solid foundation for continued expansion in domestic and overseas markets.Capturing Market Opportunities and Advancing Capacity and Overseas ExpansionAccording to CRU, global electrolytic aluminum consumption is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.6% from 2025 to 2028, while China’s annual demand gap for electrolytic aluminum is projected to exceed one million tonnes and last until 2034.The report also indicates that China is the world’s largest electrolytic aluminum market, with an industry scale of approximately RMB 897 billion in 2024, accounting for around 71% of global demand, and is expected to maintain its leading position in 2028. In response to the sustained growth in market demand and the structural supply gap, Chuangxin Industries focuses on the two most value-added segments—alumina refining and aluminum smelting. Leveraging its integrated ecosystem of “energy – alumina refining – aluminum smelting”, the Company continues to enhance production efficiency and operational performance. Its electrolytic aluminum output per capita reached approximately 590 to 670 tonnes, 2.2 to 2.6 times the industry average. In 2024, the Company achieved an alumina self-sufficiency rate of about 84% and an electricity self-sufficiency rate of about 88%, while maintaining a cash cost of approximately RMB 15,112 per tonne of electrolytic aluminum, ranking in the top 5% in China and top 30% globally— demonstrating its strong capabilities in cost control and capacity management. Beyond the China market, CRU forecasts that electrolytic aluminum demand in the Middle East and Southeast Asia will grow at CAGRs of approximately 4.6% and 3.0%, respectively, from 2025 to 2028, with the Middle East well-positioned to absorb capacity due to its energy advantages. The Company’s integrated electrolytic aluminum project launched in Saudi Arabia is built upon these regional growth trends and energy-related advantages, laying a critical foundation for its overseas capacity deployment and aligning with the global shift of aluminum production toward low-energy-consumption regions. As demand for aluminum continues to rise in emerging sectors such as new energy vehicles, photovoltaics and energy storage—while global supply remains constrained by environmental requirements and capacity approval policies— Chuangxin Industries is leveraging its high self-sufficiency, cost competitiveness and expanding overseas footprint to effectively capture market opportunities, underscoring its leading position and long-term growth potential.Looking ahead, the Company will make full use of the proceeds from the listing to further expand production capacity, enhance technology and R&D capabilities, and strengthen market competitiveness. The proceeds will be primarily used for overseas production capacity expansion, green energy projects, as well as working capital and general corporate uses. The combination of global demand growth, China’s structural supply gap, and the rising demand potential in the Middle East enables the Company’s investments to secure an early presence in key growth markets and establish a more resilient supply chain system. Supported by advanced technology and its integrated ecosystem, Chuangxin Industries will continue to enhance the competitiveness of its core businesses, expand its presence in domestic and international markets, promote the sustainable development of its electrolytic aluminum and alumina operations, consolidate its market position, capture industry growth opportunities, and demonstrate its strength and vision as a leading enterprise in China’s green aluminum industry.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - November 20, 2025) - Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) ("Doubleview" or the "Company"), is a leading Canadian exploration company that is currently finalizing a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) and updated Preliminary Resource Estimate (MRE) at its Hat Critical and Strategic Metals deposit in the so-called Golden Triangle of northwestern British Columbia. This News Release discusses the importance of Scandium, an important component of the Hat deposit.The Hat deposit hosts significant scandium potential estimated at 300 to 500 million tonnes at an average grade of 40 ppm (0.004%) Sc2O3, representing one of the world's largest undeveloped scandium deposits. Doubleview anticipates releasing results from its 2-year metallurgical analysis program in the immediate future when details are received from its metallurgical consultants and laboratories. The Company anticipates the analysis will confirm high scandium recovery rates and enable its inclusion in the upcoming updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), both of which are expected to be finalized before the end of 2025. As the global shift toward electrification accelerates, scandium emerges as a vital material for enhancing energy efficiency and supporting clean technologies. The Hat Project, with its unique polymetallic profile including copper, gold, cobalt, silver, and scandium, positions Doubleview to contribute significantly to this transition.What is Scandium?Scandium (Sc), (atomic weight 45.10, density 2.5), a close relative of the Rare Earth elements, possesses exceptional properties when alloyed with other metals, particularly aluminum. It is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and as an alloy is capable of dramatically improving strength, heat resistance, and weldability without adding significant weight. When combined with aluminum, scandium forms alloys that achieve the strength of steel while maintaining the light weight of aluminum, enabling revolutionary applications in transportation, aerospace, and clean energy. Scandium's scarcity, produced in limited quantities globally, primarily as a byproduct, makes it a high-value critical mineral, with prices often exceeding $5,000 per kilogram. Its applications span aerospace, defense, and increasingly, the clean energy sector, where it plays a pivotal role in advancing sustainable technologies. Global scandium resources are dominated by projects in Australia and northern Europe. Canadian deposits potentially can allow diversity of supply within a stable and mature mining jurisdiction.The Hat Project: A Significant Scandium DepositAt Doubleview's Hat Project scandium is hosted by a large scale alkalic porphyry system that is one of the world's very few scandium-bearing deposits. Recent drilling and resource updates, including the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate released in July 2024 and subsequent expansions announced in October 2025, have confirmed an increased footprint and potential volume for the polymetallic deposit. The Hat Deposit is distinguished by its robust mineralization, with scandium occurring with what the Company anticipates being economically viable concentrations of copper, gold, cobalt, and silver. Doubleview's exploration, including mapping and geophysical and geochemical surveys and more than 100 drill holes, has outlined shallow and deep mineralized horizons, that confirm the deposit's scale and its potential to become a leading source of base and precious metals, including not only copper and gold but also cobalt, silver and scandium.Advanced Metallurgy and High Recovery RatesDoubleview has made significant investment in metallurgical test work in support of its Hat Project with the objective of optimizing the efficient extraction and recovery of its component metals. High recoveries will enhance project economics by maximizing value from the ore. Notably, the Company's ongoing metallurgical studies, as highlighted in recent progress updates, will refine these techniques further, ensuring environmentally responsible and cost-effective production.Doubleview believes its Hat deposit's polymetallic nature and physical characteristics offer a unique and very valuable advantage as scandium can be recovered as a secondary product alongside primary gold and copper production. The by-product concept minimizes incremental costs, leveraging the same mining and milling operations to unlock scandium's value. By treating scandium as an enhancement to the core copper-gold operation, Doubleview can achieve diversified revenue streams while maintaining operational efficiency, transforming what could be a standalone challenge into a synergistic opportunity.Scandium's Value in the Electrification EconomyIn the rapidly growing electrification economy, scandium may play a transformative role by enabling lighter, more efficient, and durable materials essential for electric vehicles (EVs), renewable energy systems, and advanced power generation. When alloyed with aluminum, scandium creates super-strong, lightweight composites that reduce vehicle weight by up to 20-30%, extend EV battery range, and improve overall energy efficiency. Outstandingly this is critical for the transportation industry's push toward zero-emission where every gram saved translates to greater sustainability and cost savings.Beyond EVs, scandium as a catalyst is a key component in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), which generate clean electricity from hydrogen or natural gas with high efficiency and low emissions. Scandium-stabilized zirconia electrolytes in SOFCs enhance ionic conductivity, lower operating temperatures, and increase cell lifespan, making them ideal for distributed power generation in data centers, industrial facilities, and microgrids. As governments worldwide invest in hydrogen infrastructure and fuel cell technologies to meet net-zero goals, demand for scandium is projected to surge, potentially outstripping current global supply of around 15-20 tons annually. The Hat Project's scandium resources align perfectly with this demand, offering a secure, domestic source to support the world's clean energy ambitions."Scandium represents a game-changer for Doubleview and the broader electrification landscape," said Farshad Shirvani, President and CEO of Doubleview Gold Corp. "Our Hat Project not only bolsters Canada's critical minerals strategy but also positions us to deliver high-value materials that drive innovation in clean energy and transportation."Doubleview continues to advance the Hat Project through drilling, metallurgical optimization, and resource expansion, with plans for more updates in the coming weeks. Our metallurgical consultants will provide further progress reports that we will share in new releases.About Doubleview Gold CorpDoubleview Gold Corp (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) is a Canadian resource company advancing the 100%-owned Hat Polymetallic Project, located in the prolific Golden Triangle of northwestern British Columbia.

Belem, Brazil, Nov 20, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - PT PLN (Persero) reaffirmed its commitment to accelerating a just and equitable energy transition through concrete measures and strengthened global partnerships. During the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30) in Belém, Brazil, on Monday (11/10), PLN took part in the CEO Talk titled "Corporate Climate Leadership for Indonesia's Net Zero Action through High Integrity Carbon."Asahan 3 Hydroelectric Power Plant (PLTA) with a capacity of 2x87 megawatts (MW) in Toba Regency, North Sumatra, Indonesia. This renewable energy–based power plant utilizes the potential of the Asahan River flow to produce reliable and sustainable electricity for the Sumatra power system.Evy Haryadi, PLN's Director of Technology, Engineering & Sustainability, emphasized that the 2025–2034 Electricity Supply Plan (RUPTL) marks a major shift toward a greener energy pathway compared to its predecessor. "While the previous RUPTL outlined the development of around 21 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy, the current plan increases this capacity to approximately 52.9 GW (including storage) for the 2025–2034 period," Haryadi said.In addition, PLN is taking steps to lower emissions from its existing power plants. A key initiative is its active involvement in Indonesia's carbon trading scheme, which serves as a strategic mechanism to support the gradual and sustainable decarbonization of the power sector."Beyond emission trading for existing plants, PLN is also developing various carbon financing mechanisms as innovative funding sources to accelerate the energy transition. These mechanisms are expected to attract more green investment and help establish a low-carbon power system," Haryadi added.These efforts are complemented by PLN's development of a national Smart Grid, which will enable renewable energy to be integrated into the power system more efficiently and reliably. Haryadi emphasized that the Smart Grid is a critical foundation for expanding the integration of variable renewable energy (VRE) across the national grid.Indonesia's energy transition strategy goes beyond simply increasing renewable capacity — it also prioritizes preparing the power system to absorb, distribute, and balance a rising share of clean electricity. This approach, known as Complementing Renewable Expansion, ensures that renewable growth is supported by the necessary infrastructure.Through this strategy, PLN will scale up investments in energy storage systems, flexible power generation, and robust inter-regional transmission networks. The aim is to integrate renewable energy efficiently while maintaining system reliability and affordability. This approach also paves the way for Indonesia's renewable capacity to exceed 75% within the next decade.Haryadi highlighted that PLN's renewable expansion has the potential to generate up to 250 million tons of emissions-reduction certificates. He noted that this effort goes beyond regulatory compliance, representing a significant opportunity to accelerate the national energy transition."This green-attribute potential reflects not only PLN's technical readiness to grow clean energy, but also its role in driving Indonesia's green economy. Every ton of reduced emissions should translate into real value for the nation, investors, and society," he said.PLN also aims to surpass regulatory requirements by maximizing the added value of its decarbonization initiatives, while strengthening cross-sector partnerships and innovative financing to support its transition agenda."Support from international financiers, technology transfer, and high-integrity carbon market mechanisms is essential to ensure the energy transition progresses in an inclusive and equitable manner," Haryadi concluded.About PLNPT PLN (Persero) is Indonesia's state-owned electricity company, committed to continuous innovation and delivering the best service to its customers. PLN drives its Transformation 2.0 agenda with the vision of becoming a Top 500 Global Company and the No. 1 choice for energy solutions. This is achieved through sustainable business growth, end-to-end digitalization, energy transition initiatives supporting Net Zero Emissions (NZE), and the development of world-class human capital. www.pln.co.id ContactGregorius Adi TriantoExecutive Vice President, Corporate Communications & CSR, PLNTel. +62 21 7261122Fax. +62 21 7227059Source: Antara for PLN ( https://web.pln.co.id/en/sustainability/sustainability ) Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

香港, 2025年11月20日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 11月18日，匯通達網絡（9878.HK）宣佈與專注電商及零售智能化的科技公司「認知邊界」簽署股權收購協議。交易完成後，認知邊界將成為匯通達控股子公司，其財務報表將正式並入上市公司。此次並購，被視為匯通達加強自身「產業賦能」能力的重要資本動作，其面向下沉市場的「5+賦能」體系與認知邊界在「BI+AI」領域的領先能力深度耦合，將產生顯著的1+1＞2價值倍增效應。收購事項核心看點：「5+賦能」疊加「BI+AI」，構建全棧式AI賦能體系匯通達過去數年打造的「5+賦能」模型（+技術、+數據、+培訓、+商品、+營銷），本就是其區別於傳統To B平台的護城河。此次收購認知邊界，為這五個部分同時注入「新能源燃料」，實現從「基礎數字化」到「全棧式AI智能化」的跨越式升級：第一是「+技術」，認知邊界自主研發的AI智能體與BI系統，將與匯通達自研的、在2025年5月獲得國家網信辦算法備案的「千橙雲AI大模型」深度融合，形成更具零售場景落地能力的定製化Agent集群，直接驅動25.1萬家會員店的庫存、週轉、定價、選品等核心經營環節提效，預計單店經營效率會得到極大提升。第二是「+數據」：認知邊界管理超過1.6萬家電商店鋪、年管控銷售額超1,400億元的真實電商運營數據，將與匯通達線下下沉市場數據打通，構建行業內獨特的「線上+線下+社群」全域數據中台，為會員店和上游品牌提供從宏觀趨勢到微觀單品的精準決策支撐。第三是「+培訓」：認知邊界150+人的電商操盤專家團隊，將全面融入匯通達體系，為超過25萬家鄉鎮夫妻店及千家品牌工廠提供更具實戰性、場景化的電商運營和數智化培訓，真正把「會賣貨」的能力下沉到最基層。第四是「+商品」，認知邊界服務的頭部品牌資源與匯通達既有的供應鏈商品池實現互通，進一步豐富下沉市場的優質商品供給，有望同步提升匯通達對核心品類的把控，強化自有品牌與智慧供應鏈的商品競爭力。第五是「+營銷」，認知邊界成熟的AIGC內容工具與營銷自動化能力，疊加匯通達已上線的Agent，強化「AI銷售智能體」與「數字店員」，將系統性提升會員店在電商、社群種草、短視頻等不同平台的數智化營銷效率，真正實現「AI幫你找客、賣貨、做內容」。競爭壁壘從「深」做到「又深又寬」本次收購最亮眼的戰略契合點在於：認知邊界正是「BI+AI」深度融合的領先企業，而匯通達自2025年初接入主流大模型、8月與阿里雲達成全面合作後，正需要一個既懂電商又能快速落地的AI團隊。雙方強強聯合，在技術路線、客群結構、商業模式上的高度互補，將使匯通達在「零售產業互聯網+AI」賽道建立起難以撼動的領先壁壘。對匯通達核心業務與上下游合作伙伴而言，本次收購帶來的利好是全維度、立體式的。對25.1萬家會員店來說，從「會用系統」進化到「AI幫你做決定」，單店效率與利潤率有望迎來新一輪顯著提升；對上游品牌廠商來說，獲得更精準的下沉市場數據洞察與渠道掌控力，加速高毛利自有品牌在鄉鎮一級的滲透；增強了對上下游的價值，匯通達的壁壘效應會大大加強，同時，匯通達自有品牌與供應鏈業務的商品池、定價權、營銷效率也有望同步提高，毛利率與市場份額擴張空間被徹底打開。匯通達本已在下沉市場建立起「網絡規模+供應鏈能力+數字化服務」三層壁壘，此次疊加阿里雲（基礎設施層）+認知邊界（應用層+電商實操層）的頂級AI與運營能力，等於把壁壘從「深」變成「又深又寬」，競爭優勢正在指數級放大。緊扣產業升級主線 展現教科書級別的戰略執行力從年初自研SaaS產品接入主流大模型、5月自研模型備案、8月與阿里雲全面合作，到11月收購行業內頭部的認知邊界，公司每一步都緊扣「全棧式賦能會員店和產業上游合作伙伴」的戰略主軸，展現出清晰的執行路徑和戰略定力。在業界看來匯通達收購認知邊界，不僅是一次簡單的「技術補強」，更是其從「下沉市場產業互聯網公司」向「中國零售產業全棧式AI賦能平台」升級的重要落子。此次收購不僅強化了匯通達AI應用層的場景化實戰能力，更推動公司構建起從底層模型、中台工具到前端場景AI Agent的全棧AI輸出體系。當前匯通達市值仍處於歷史相對低位，而此番以4.56億元收購認知邊界57%股權之後，根據協議披露和業績承諾，未來三年認知邊界歸母淨利潤將不低於8500萬元、1億元及1.15億元人民幣，上述指標並表無疑是對匯通達AI及相關服務收入增長、收入結構優化、盈利能力提升的裨益。同時，隨着雙方的深入融合，AI產品的商業化將持續提速，在國內大循環的經濟發展格局下、持續兌現下沉市場高確定性增長紅利。綜上，匯通達基本面有望迎來盈利能力與成長性雙重躍升，估值修復空間巨大，長期投資價值凸顯。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

BANGKOK, November 20, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Laundry You PCL (SET: WASH), one of Thailand's leading full-service laundromat operators under the "WashXpress" brand, debuted on the SET Market for Alternative Investment (MAI) as the Company is determined to grow on its current success by expanding its branch network at least 160 branches in fiscal years 2026-2027. This is a part of WASH's strategic expansion plan to push into the Northern and Southern regions, increasing the number of company-owned and operated branches to 670. The Company highlights its business expansion strategy with a model that can create recurring income. In the meantime, the Company reported strong six-month revenue growth to 474 million baht with profit increasing by 93%, while its Same Store Sales Growth (SSSG) grew by 13%, driven by new services and effective marketing. WASH aims to become Thailand's leading full-service laundromat operator, ready to revolutionize the industry with innovation and technology to create a pleasing experience, making laundry chores easier for the community.Mr Kawin Klongkratoke, CEO and Co-Founder of Laundry You PCL, stated that the Company's shares began trading on November 3, 2025, in the Services Industry Group under the symbol "WASH", following the successful IPO of 105,882,352 shares at 7.50 baht per share. The offering attracted interest from all investor groups and received an overwhelming response, reflecting confidence in the Company's strong business fundamentals and future growth potential. Throughout its business history, WASH has operated under its vision to revolutionize the laundry experience in communities by creating innovative and data-driven services powered by technology to deliver the ultimate experience for modern consumers under the concept of "Clean, Convenient, and Comfortable". This approach perfectly addresses the changing lifestyle and the expanding urbanization of Thai society, while fostering sustainable growth for the future."On behalf of the entire WASH team, I would like to thank you for your trust in us. I am very honored to bring WashXpress into the Thai capital market. We are ready to move forward toward our full potential, generating the highest possible returns for all shareholders. The Company's core mission is to transform laundry chores into a simple experience, giving back 'time' to community members and improving their quality of life. We do not aim merely to become a market leader; we aspire to be a 'revolutionary force' driven by innovation and technology. This means setting new standards for the Thai laundromat industry, entirely guided by the principle of creating sustainable value for businesses, society, and the environment. We promise that WASH will never stop development in our determination to create sustainable success for all stakeholders," Mr Kawin added.Mr Chisanupun Tangchalermkul, Chief Development Officer and Co-Founder of Laundry You PCL, disclosed that the Company plans exponential growth by expanding its branch network into high-potential areas through the "cluster expansion" strategy, which involves opening 5 to 10 new branches in close proximity to each other. This game plan was designed to rapidly build brand visibility in new areas, while also increasing management efficiency and reducing construction costs. The strategy will be implemented across 21 provinces where the Company currently operates, as well as in new, untapped markets—particularly in the northern and southern regions—to ensure comprehensive nationwide coverage.Chisanupun further stated that the Company aims to open at least 240 new, company-owned and operated branches by the end of 2027, implemented into two phases. The first phase is the opening of 80 new branches in 2025, followed by at least 160 new branches between 2026 and 2027, with a focus on company-owned and operated branches. By 2027, the Company aims to operate a total of 670 such branches. This strategy will allow WASH to maintain full control over service quality and standards, enhance management flexibility, and, most importantly, generate recurring income - a key factor leading to sustainable growth.In addition to expanding its network, the Company also prioritizes the upgrading of existing branches to maintain competitiveness and increase sales. A budget of 100 million baht has been allocated for 2026-2027 for the renovation and upgrading of existing WashXpress laundromats. The plan includes increasing the number of washing and drying machines in high-traffic branches, introducing new services such as wash, dry, fold, and ironing, and refurbishing stores to enhance WashXpress's modern brand image. Improvements will also include expanding parking spaces and enhancing customer comfort through facilities such as air-conditioned waiting areas, ensuring the best possible experience and maximum convenience.Ms Suthang Khonsilpa, Managing Director, Investment Banking Department of Yuanta Securities (Thailand) Co Ltd, in the capacity as financial advisor and underwriter, reiterated that WASH possessed five key strengths that highlight the Company's potential as a growth stock worth keeping a close eye on. These are:1. Strong and proven operating performance: The Company has demonstrated impressive revenue growth between 2022 and 2024, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 33.16%, alongside an average net profit growth of 18.63% per annum. The operating results for the first six months of 2025 continue to show robust growth. Notably, same-store sales growth (SSSG) has remained positive, underscoring strength and resilience in the core business.2. Clear growth strategy with focus on sustainable revenue: The Company focuses on expanding a network of company-owned and operated branches that ultimately account for more than 85% of the total number of branches. This approach allows full control over service quality and standards, generating stable recurring income. Moreover, the Company also presents a clear plan to utilize the funds from the IPO to open at least 160 new branches by 2027.3. Strong market position and a well-recognised brand: Currently, WashXpress is one of the major players in the industry with over 548 branches in 21 provinces, conveniently meeting the needs of modern consumers, as evidenced by the number of registered users via the WashXpress application, which has continuously grown to more than 1.5 million accounts at present.4. Leveraging technology for competitive advantage: The Company's WashXpress application has not been designed only as a payment channel, but also as a valuable tool in Customer Relationship Management (CRM) through a loyalty point system. Most importantly, it is a large data warehouse of customer behavior (Data Analytics) effective for analysis and planning more accurate marketing strategies.5. Operating in a High-Growth Industry: The self-service laundry business is directly driven by the megatrend of urbanization – changes in living patterns from composite family groups to single families or condominium living. Combined with increasingly hectic lifestyles, the changes have led to a steady increase in demand for self-service laundry services."WASH demonstrates compelling strengths across the board, from its proven growth history and strong financial position and cash flow to a clear strategic plan aligned with market trends. This IPO serves as a fuel for accelerated growth and further reinforces the Company's market leadership. For investors who recognize the potential of the full-service laundry business, investing in WASH shares presents an opportunity to become a co-owner of a business managed by a professional team standing ready to steer the business forward with stability and sustainability," concluded Miss Suthang.
