Ltd (“Genes Tech Group” or “The Group”; Stock Code: 8257.HK) announces its interim results for the six months ended 30 June, 2024 (“the period”). During the period, the Group recorded the total revenue of approximately NTD535.01 million, Total comprehensive income for the period attributable to owners of the Company amounted to approximately NTD31.30 million.

The Group's revenue from operation in Japan significantly increased by 7,038.01% compared with last year, representing approximately 9.79% of the Group's total revenue, while revenue from operation in the United States increased by 15.54% from last year, representing approximately 23.70% of the Group's total revenue.In the first half of 2024, the rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology has provided significant growth impetus for demand on chips and memory. However, the uncertainties of the global economic environment, along with the slowdown in the growth of the industrial and automotive sectors, leading to a slower-than-expected pace of recovery for the entire semiconductor industry. According to the data recently released by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), the monthly sales of the global semiconductor industry have achieved year-on-year growth since 2024. In May, sales reached USD49.1 billion, with an annual growth rate of 19.3% and a monthly growth rate of 4.1%. Such annual growth rate was the highest since April 2022, showcasing the vigorous development trend of generative AI applications, which brought a strong growth momentum to the semiconductor industry.Mr. Yang Ming-Hsiang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer concluded: “With the rapid development of AI technology, the market is entering a new era fully empowered by AI. This transformation not only deeply reconstructs industry ecosystems but also opens unprecedented golden opportunities for the semiconductor industry. The robust demand for AI and high-performance computing data centers is driving chip manufacturers to establish closer collaborations with memory, packaging and testing companies, working together to build a strong ecosystem, thus enhancing the overall competitiveness of the entire industry chain. However, the complex geopolitical landscape continues to have profound effects on the global semiconductor industry, especially in AI, which is a core area of Sino-US competition. The Group will adopt a cautious strategy, flexibly adapting to market changes and seizing development opportunities. At the same time, the Group will also strive to achieve breakthroughs in key technologies to solidify our market position in intense competition, aiming to create long-term and sustainable value returns for the shareholders.”About Genes Tech Group Holdings Co Ltd (Stock Code: 8257.HK)Genes Tech Group Holdings Co.

SINGAPORE, Aug 14, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - SGX Catalist-listed AsiaMedic Limited (the “Company” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) announced its financial results for the financial period ended 30 June 2024 (“1H2024”).The Group’s 1H2024 revenue increased by S$2.4 million or 23% from S$10.7 million for 1H2023 to S$13.2 million due to the increase in revenue from the imaging and aesthetic businesses. The increase follows three consecutive years of revenue growth as the Group continues to pursue further capacity expansion to serve more patients.The increase in revenue from the diagnostic imaging business was primarily due to the addition of a third MRI scanner in the last quarter of 2023 while the increase in revenue from the aesthetics business was due to the engagement of a senior aesthetic doctor and the acquisition of the medical aesthetics business of LE Private Clinic in August 2023.The set-up of the new diagnostic imaging centre in Novena as well as expanded operations at Shaw Centre have necessitated the hiring of additional staff and doctors amidst intense competition for talent in the industry. The additional manpower was also supported by the purchase of new equipment incorporating the latest technology.The Group’s consumables expenses increased by 44% to S$1.0 million, personnel expenses increased by 30% to S$7.3 million, and laboratory and consultancy fees increased by 55% to S$2.2 million. In addition, depreciation of right-of-use assets increased by 36% to S$0.7 million for 1H2024 due to the purchase of the new MRI scanner in the last quarter of 2023 and the new CT scanner in 1H2024, as well as the lease of new clinic space at Orchard Building in 1H2023.As a result, the Group recorded a borderline loss of S$0.1 million for 1H2024 as compared to a profit of S$0.6 million for 1H2023. On the balance sheet, the Net Asset Value per share (cents) fell slightly by 0.04 cent from 1.18 cents per share to 1.14 cents per share.Investing for Future GrowthMr Arifin Kwek, Chief Executive Officer of AsiaMedic Limited, said, “We are encouraged by the continued revenue growth which reflects our ongoing pursuit of further capacity expansion to serve more patients. The Group’s new diagnostic imaging centre set-up in partnership with Sunway Berhad remains on track to commence operations by November 2024 and will nearly double the Group’s diagnostic imaging capacity.”“While our initial essential investments in new talent and technology may lead to margin compression in the short term, the expanded capacity and increase in productivity will also generate economies of scale and operational efficiencies which will play a significant role in the Group’s focus on attaining sustainable higher margins in the longer term,” he added.In August 2024, the Group implemented a new artificial intelligence virtual assistant to automate the scheduling of patient appointments. The system will free clinic staff from mundane tasks, allowing them to dedicate more time for high value in-person patient care.The Group’s focus on talent acquisition and investing in technology will pave the way for long-term sustainable growth and the creation of shareholder value.This press release should be read in conjunction with the financial statements announcement for 1H2024 uploaded on SGXNet.For media and analysts’ queries, please contact:Waterbrooks ConsultantsWayne KooT: (65) 9338 8166E: wayne.koo@waterbrooks.com.sgAbout AsiaMedic LimitedAsiaMedic Limited together with its subsidiaries (“AsiaMedic” or the “Group”) is a leading healthcare provider in Singapore which provides holistic solutions through integrated application of the latest medical technologies to prevent and detect early illnesses to achieve positive experiences and clinical outcomes for patients.The Group is committed to helping clients through practical and personalised solutions delivered with the highest professional standards of service and expertise in a timely, safe and consistent manner.
