Highlights- Revenue growth: Double-digit revenue growth driven by improved consumer sentiment in Mainland China and increased demand in overseas markets- Premiumisation: On-going premiumization, and introduction of new flavours and collaborations to enhance brand visibility- Overseas markets: Performance met management’s expectations, contributing positively to the GroupHONG KONG, Aug 26, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Nissin Foods Company Limited (“Nissin Foods” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”; Stock code: 1475) has announced its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2025 (“the reporting period”)During the reporting period, the Group achieved satisfactory growth in its overall business, primarily attributable to the solid performance of its instant noodle business and the additional contributions from the acquisitions completed in the previous year. Revenue increased notably by 10.5% year-on-year from HK$1,822.5 million in 2024 to HK$2,014.2 million in 2025, driven by improved consumer sentiment in Mainland China and increased demand in overseas markets. Gross profit increased by 6.2% from HK$637.5 million in 2024 to HK$677.0 million in 2025. Gross profit margin decreased 1.4 percentage points to 33.6% in 2025, which was mainly attributable to higher purchase costs.Profit attributable to owners of the Company was HK$157.0 million, representing a net profit margin of 7.8% for the period. The Group’s basic earnings per share decreased from 16.24 HK cents to 15.05 HK cents for the period.

Revenue from Mainland China operations increased by 9.4% (in local currency: 10.8%) to HK$1,221.9 million (2024: HK$1,116.6 million), due to the Company’s efforts to expand sales in the inland areas and the continued upward momentum in Mainland China.In Hong Kong, the performance of instant noodle business improved. Sales volume of both bag-type and cup-type instant noodles, including the signature brands Demae Iccho and Cup Noodles increased, as consumers considered instant noodles as a cost-effective food option amidst external uncertainties.

Furthermore, the Company broadened its portfolio of other products by launching new seasonal KAGOME juices. The Company also introduced a new Choco Banana flavour for its popular Nissin Granola, and expanding the distribution channels for its fresh-cut vegetables.In other regions, the Company proactively explored and expanded different sales and distribution channels in Vietnam with a focus on the youth segment to bolster growth. After the Company acquired Gaemi Food Co. Ltd (“Gaemi Food”) in Korea last year, Gaemi Food’s business performance was in line with management’s expectations during the period, and several Original Design Manufacturer products were launched for customers. The Company also acquired ABC Pastry Holdings Pty Ltd (“ABC Pastry”) last year and established Australia Nissin Foods Pty. Ltd. (“Australia Nissin”) on 3 January 2025 to support business expansion in Australia, and the progress of business development in Australia was on track.In Mainland China, the Company adhered to its premiumisation strategy and continued the geographical expansion of its business in its instant noodle business. It boosted Cup Noodles sales through in-store food tastings, online promotions, and partnerships with major retailers. For premium bag-type instant noodles, it leveraged digital channels like WeChat mini program and social media to drive sales of Demae Iccho, Nissin Raoh, and Nissin Viet Signature in the first half of 2025. Additionally, the Company collaborated with virtual singer “Hatsune Miku” to promote the Cup Noodles Hokkaido Wheat Flour Series, mirroring its IP promotion strategy used in Hong Kong. As for non-noodle business, Nissin Koikeya Potato Chips performed well with expanded distribution channels. Crisp Choco received positive market feedback, while KAGOME vegetable and fruit juice successfully captured the attention of health-conscious consumers. The easy-to-cook microwavable frozen foods catered to city dwellers seeking convenient meal options.Mr. Kiyotaka ANDO, Executive Director, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nissin Foods, said, “The global economy showed signs of stabilisation in the first half of 2025 after a prolonged period of uncertainty and tension in international trade. The Group remains committed to continuous product upgrades and cost optimisation against this backdrop. We are cautiously optimistic about long-term business development in the local and overseas markets.

香港, 2025年8月25日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) – 中国领先的技术驱动移动出行平台嘀嗒出行（"嘀嗒"或"公司"，股票代码：02559.HK）公布了截至2025年6月30日止六个月的经审计的综合年度业绩。财务亮点：- 截至2025年6月30日止六个月，收入为2.86亿元人民币，2024年同期为4.04亿元人民币。- 截至2025年6月30日止六个月，毛利润为1.92亿元人民币，2024年同期为2.96亿元人民币。- 截至2025年6月30日止六个月，净利润为1.34亿元人民币，2024年同期为9.48亿元人民币。- 截至2025年6月30日止六个月，调整后净利润（非国际财务报告准则计量）为1.36亿元人民币，相比2024年同期的1.30亿元人民币，增长4.7%。运营亮点：- 截至2025年6月30日止六个月，交易总额为26.08亿元人民币，订单总数达到4320万。- 截至2025年6月30日，注册用户超过3.95亿。- 注册私家车车主达到1990万。- 2025年上半年，嘀嗒出行的站点拼车顺风车订单量逐月增加。业务展望：顺风车业务嘀嗒顺风车平台上的乘客可以获得低成本的出行选择，并享受优质出行服务体验。私家车车主可以通过与乘客分担出行费用来节省油费和过路费。顺风车还能带来更多社会效益，例如减少碳排放和缓解交通拥堵等。嘀嗒出行认为，乘客选择顺风车的主要原因在于其价格优势，而车主的痛点则在于绕行成本。今年，我们持续优化站点车站顺风车模式，进一步减少车主的绕行距离并降低乘客车费。2025年上半年，站点拼车顺风车的订单量逐月增加。值得注意的是，合乘出行具有明显的线路特性。与网约车服务不同，车主与乘客间存在潜在的半熟人关系。今年上半年，嘀嗒出行持续强化车主乘客的半熟人互动机制，已取得初步成效。嘀嗒出行认为，相较于现行的上门接送模式，私家车车主在不绕行或尽量少绕行的情况下接送乘客，同时接受乘客以优惠车费支付，是更为合理的做法。与网约车服务的交易性质不同，顺风车模式中车主与乘客能建立更平等的互动关系，他们可能来自于相似的社会、经济或区域背景，未来，嘀嗒出行会持续挖掘此商业模式的独特属性，为用户提供更经济实惠、高效且公平的共乘体验。嘀嗒出行将持续优化平台用户体验。今年下半年计划推出聚合出行服务，与合规运力平台合作，解决未能匹配到顺风车车主的乘客的出行需求，以及其他即时出行需求，嘀嗒出行认为此举将进一步完善平台生态系统，强化服务能力。此外，嘀嗒出行平台吸引了近2000万私家车车主加入，今年计划与合作伙伴合作，为私家车车主提供更多售后服务，例如维修保养、融资、保险和二手车交易等服务。出租车业务在已经签订战略合作协议的选定城市，嘀嗒出行将继续携手所有利益相关方（包括地方部门、出租车行业协会、出租车公司和出租车司机），以推动动态定价解决方案。嘀嗒出行截至2026年6月30日止六个月的完整业绩公告，请访问： https://manager.wisdomir.com/files/594/2025/0822/20250822203001_24635760_tc.pdf关于嘀嗒出行嘀嗒出行（"嘀嗒"或"本公司"，股票代码：02559.HK）是中国领先的技术驱动出行平台。公司通过顺风车平台服务，连接路线方向相似且出发时间兼容的乘客与私家车主，从而创造了更多的交通容量，同时减少了对环境的影响。嘀嗒出行还提供智慧出租车服务，致力于提升中国出租车行业相关方的运营效能。嘀嗒致力于打造更绿色、高效的出行生态，让每一段旅程温暖而愉悦。前瞻性声明本新闻稿包含有关公司业务前景、预测业务计划和增长战略的前瞻性陈述。这些前瞻性陈述基于公司目前信息，并基于本新闻稿发布时的前景进行陈述。它们基于某些期望、假设和前提，其中一些是主观的或不可控的，可能被证明是不正确的，未来可能无法实现。前瞻性陈述背后存在大量风险和不确定性。有关这些风险和不确定性的更多信息，请参阅公司网站上的其他公开披露文件。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Aug 25, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Dida Inc. (“Dida” or the “Company”, Stock Code: 02559.HK), a leading technology-driven mobility platform, announced the audited consolidated annual results for the six months ended June 30, 2025.Financial Highlights:- Revenue was RMB 286.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to RMB 404.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.- Gross profit was RMB191.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025,compared to RMB 296.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.- Net profit was RMB134.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025,compared to RMB 947.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.- Adjusted net profit (non-IFRS measure) increased by 4.7% from RMB129.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to RMB135.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.Operation Highlights:- Gross transaction value amounted to RMB 2,608 million and total number of orders reached 43.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.- Registered users reached over 395 million as of June 30, 2025.- Certified private car owners reached 19.9 million.- During the first half of 2025, the order volume for our station-based carpooling model increased month by month.Business OutlookCarpooling marketplace businessRiders on our carpooling platform can access low-cost mobility options and enjoy quality experience. Private car owners can save money on gas and tolls by sharing traveling expenseswith riders. Carpooling also brings about numerous societal benefits, such as reducing carbon emissions and mitigating traffic congestion.We believe the primary reason riders choose carpooling is its pricing, while the pain point for car owners is the cost of detours. This year, we continue to focus on optimizing our station-based carpooling model to further reduce detour distances for car owners and fares for riders. During the first half of 2025, the order volume for our station-based carpooling model increased month by month. It is also noteworthy that carpooling travel has distinct route specific characteristics. Unlike ride-hailing service, there is a potential semi-acquaintance relationship between drivers and riders. In the first half of this year, we experimented with enhancing these semi-acquaintance interactions between drivers and riders and achieved positive results.We believe that compared to the current door-to-door pickup model, It is more reasonable for private car owners to pick up passengers with no or minimum detour, while accept riders to pay at a discounted fare. Unlike the transactional nature of ride-hailing services, drivers and riders in carpooling lead to a more equal interaction. They may come from similar social,economic, or geographical backgrounds. In the future, we will continue to explore the unique characteristics of our business to provide users with an affordable, efficient and equitable ride-sharing experience.We will continue to enhance the user experience on our platform. In the second half of the year, we plan to work with ride-hailing platforms to address the needs of those carpooling riders who are not able to find matching private car owners and other on-demand travel needs. We believe this will enhance our platform’s ecosystem and service offerings.Additionally, our platform has attracted nearly 20 million private car owners. This year,we intend to collaborate with partners to provide private car owners with more aftermarket service offerings such as repair and maintenance, financing, insurance and used car trading.Taxi businessIn selected cities where we have already entered into strategic cooperation agreements, we continue to engage with all relevant stakeholders, including local authorities, taxi industry associations, taxi companies, and taxi drivers to implement dynamic pricing solutions.For the full announcement of Dida for the six months ended June 30, 2025, please visit:https://manager.wisdomir.com/files/594/2025/0822/20250822203001_23855082_en.pdfAbout Dida Inc.Dida Inc. (“Dida” or the “Company”, Stock Code: 02559.HK) is a leading technology-driven mobility platform in China. The Company creates more transit capacity with less environmental impact by providing carpooling marketplace services to pair up riders with private car owners if they are heading in similar directions at compatible times.

By the end of the review period, its market capitalization far exceeded the inclusion threshold for the Hang Seng Composite Index (institution estimates place the threshold for this adjustment at approximately HKD 7.33 billion), while its trading activity also met the requirements. The company’s unique “purpose-built vehicles + asset-light expansion” model and its early strategic deployment in the Robotaxi sector have injected new economic dynamism into the index.CaoCao Inc. is a shared mobility platform incubated by Geely. The company has become China’s second-largest ride hailing platform by 2024 Gross Transaction Value (GTV) and the largest listed mobility technology company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Leveraging Geely’s ecosystem, CaoCao Inc. has introduced all-electric vehicle models specifically designed for shared mobility scenarios. The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of these purpose-built vehicles is 36.4% lower than that of typical electric vehicles. The company has deployed 34,000 purpose-built vehicles across 31 major cities, representing the largest fleet of its kind.In 2024, CaoCao Inc. achieved an annual GTV of approximately RMB 17 billion, with its service network covering 136 cities nationwide. By selling purpose-built vehicles to local mobility capacity partners, it successfully expanded into 85 new cities and incentivized these partners to provide services through its platform. The company’s growing economies of scale contributed to an increase in its gross profit margin to 8.1% in 2024, reflecting continued improvement in profitability.In February 2025, CaoCao Inc. launched its autonomous driving platform, “CaoCao Zhixing,” initiating pilot operations in Suzhou and Hangzhou. In collaboration with Geely, the company is developing L4-level Robotaxi purpose-built vehicles, which are expected to have a significantly lower TCO than comparable products in the industry. According to forecasts by Frost & Sullivan, China’s Robotaxi market is projected to grow to RMB 1,600 billion by 2035. CaoCao Inc. has established China’s first self-developed closed-loop ecosystem for Robotaxi, integrating purpose-built vehicles, autonomous driving technology, and a mobility platform. With this full industrial chain advantage, its Robotaxi business is poised to become a new growth engine for the company.A number of leading financial institutions—including J.P. Morgan, Huatai Securities, and Shenwan Hongyuan Securities—previously projected that CaoCao Inc. is expected to be included in the Hong Kong Stock Connect on September 8, enabling mainland investors to directly invest in the company through the Shanghai-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect mechanism. More recently, Zheshang Securities also initiated coverage with a “Buy” rating and set a target price of HK$103.17. Analysts believe that the anticipated inclusion into the Stock Connect, coupled with accelerating commercialization of Robotaxi services, is likely to unlock further medium- to long-term valuation upside. In addition, passive funds tracking the index adjustment are expected to carry out concentrated buying during the tail end of the trading session on September 5, which may contribute to noticeable volume growth and upward momentum in CaoCao Inc.’s share price.

For non-oil-and-gas businesses, the Group increased the frequency and depth of participation in project management in line with the principle of “control is essential for subsidiaries, exercising of rights is essential for participating interests”, and urged operators to reduce costs and improve efficiency while providing operational recommendations.During the Period, owing to the steady expansion of the scale of the oil and gas trading business, the Group achieved revenue of approximately HK$9.38 billion, representing a substantial year-on-year increase of approximately 137.9%. Impacted by factors such as the continuous decrease in crude oil and coal prices and the high price of raw material alumina, the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company amounted to approximatelyHK$0.15 billion (1H2024: approximately HK$0.35 billion).

The Group has healthy assets and strong liquidity.Mr. Hao Weibao, Executive Director, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CITIC Resources, said, “Oil and gas will continue to occupy a key position in the energy mix. Meanwhile, the ongoing industrialisation and urbanisation in developing countries and emerging economies will continue to support the demand for aluminium, and the rapid development of new energy, electric vehicles and high-end equipment manufacturing will further boost the growth of aluminium consumption. The Group will continue its strategy of ‘seeking progress amidst stability’ and unswervingly deepen its dual driver development strategy of ‘investment + trading’. While consolidating the foundation of high-quality development of its existing business, the Group will steadily expand its oil-and-gas trading footprint, focusing on midstream and upstream mining investments with aluminium products as the core, as well as the investments in high-quality oil and gas projects. The Group will continuously strengthen its core competitiveness by comprehensively enhancing the operational efficiency of existing projects, optimising the management of the Company’s shares value and strengthening the risks management and control. The Group will continue to enhance its corporate value and create sustainable and stable investment returns for its shareholders through prudent business strategies and innovative development plans.”For details of the 2025 interim results of CITIC Resources, please refer to the Group's interim results announcement on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Group’s website.About CITIC Resources Holdings Limited (Stock code: 1205.HK)CITIC Resources Holdings Limited has been listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange since 1997.
