SinoMab Announces IND APPLICATION FOR SN1011 ACCEPTED BY NMPA CDE

Continuously expanding the scope of potential indications for SN1011 HONG KONG, June 9, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - SinoMab BioScience Limited ("SinoMab" or the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group", stock code: 3681.HK), a Hong Kong-based biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the research, development, manufacturing and commercialization of therapeutics for the treatment of immunological diseases, is pleased to announce that, on 6 June 2022, an Investigational New Drug application ("IND", for neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder ("NMOSD")) for SN1011 has been filed with and accepted by the Center for Drug Evaluation (the "CDE") of the National Medical Products Administration of China (the "NMPA"). The Company plans to initiate the Phase II clinical study in China upon approval of the present IND. The present IND submission, once granted, will enable the Company to conduct clinical program in China for treatment of NMOSD. SN1011 is the Company's third generation, covalent reversible BTK inhibitor with improved safety, higher selectivity and superior efficacy and for the long-term treatment of systemic lupus erythematous, pemphigus vulgaris, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other immunological diseases. SN1011 differentiates from existing BTK inhibitors currently available in the market in terms of mechanism of action, affinity, selectivity and safety. The Phase I clinical study (first-in-human clinical trial) of SN1011 was conducted in Australia and China in 2019 and completed in July 2021, which has demonstrated improved safety and good pharmacokinetics profile. Currently, the IND application for SN1011 in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and multiple sclerosis (MS) have been approved by NMPA, the Company plans to launch the Phase II clinical study of SN1011 for pemphigus in the third quarter of 2022. The Company is also planning an IND submission for multiple sclerosis (MS) in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2022, thereby accelerating the initiation of a global phase II trial in the third quarter of 2022. NMOSD is an autoimmune-mediated inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system with predominant involvement of the optic nerve and spinal cord. The pathogenesis of NMOSD is mainly associated with aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibodies and is a separate disease entity from multiple sclerosis, with severe optic neuritis and longitudinal extensive transverse myelitis as the main clinical features. However, the cause of NMOSD is unknown, with a combination of environmental factors such as smoking, low vitamin D levels, EBV infection and genetic susceptibility contributing to the development of the disease. In 2020, according to inpatient registration data published in China, the incidence of NMOSD is about 0.278 (100,000 people/year), with children at 0.075 (100,000 people/year) and adults at 0.347 (100,000 people/year). NMOSD is seen at all ages, with young adults being the most common, with the average age of onset being 40 years. NMOSD is a highly recurrent and disabling disease, with 40-60% of patients experiencing a recurrence within one year and 90% within three years, and 50% of patients with a natural course of the disease having severe visual or motor impairment within 5-10 years. Currently, there are only three drugs officially approved by the US FDA or the European Union for the treatment of NMOSD, including complement inhibitors, IL-6 receptor blockers and B-lymphocyte-depleting agents. On 30 April 2021, the NMPA officially approved satralizumab for treatment of AQP4-IgG positive patients over the age of 12 years, making it the first drug approved for NMOSD treatment indications in mainland China. An IND application for NMOSD for SN1011 of SinoMab has been accepted by the CDE of the NMPA, and once approved, will facilitate the clinical research and development of new drugs for NMOSD in China. Dr. Shui On LEUNG, Chairman, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of SinoMab said that: "NOMSD is the fourth indication of SN1011 in China following the approvals of IND application for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and multiple sclerosis (MS), and is also the third IND application submitted by the Company to the regulatory authority this year, which fully reflects the team's ability to simultaneously advance the research and development of multiple drug candidates and to effectively execute and communicate. The potential indications for SN1011 continue to expand, BTK inhibitor has a wide range of applications in the field of treatment of autoimmune diseases and huge future market potential. We believe that if the SN1011 product is successfully approved and commercialized in the future, it is expected to bring positive benefits to the Company, provide new options for the treatment of various autoimmune diseases and bring hope to the majority of patients." About SinoMab BioScience Limited SinoMab BioScience Limited (stock code: 3681.HK) is dedicated to the research, development, manufacturing and commercialization of therapeutics for the treatment of immunological diseases.

祝贺!国际顶级医学期刊《自然-医学》同时发表两篇关于华领医药全球首创糖尿病新药多格列艾汀的III期研究结果的同行评议论文

SHANGHAI, CHINA, May 13, 2022 - (亚太商讯 via SEAPRWire.com) - 华领医药(“公司”,香港联交所主板股份代号:2552.HK)今日宣布,国际顶级医学刊物《自然-医学》(Nature Medicine)杂志同时在线发表了两篇公司全球首创糖尿病新药葡萄糖激酶激活剂(GKA)多格列艾汀(dorzagliatin)的III期注册临床研究结果的同行评议论文。两篇论文分别详细展示和描述了多格列艾汀单药(SEED研究)用于治疗新诊断未用药2型糖尿病患者,以及多格列艾汀联合二甲双胍(DAWN研究)用于治疗二甲双胍足量治疗失效2型糖尿病患者的临床疗效和安全特征。葡萄糖激酶激活剂的III期临床研究成果首次发表在《自然-医学》杂志,代表中国大型注册临床研究成果开始走上国际舞台。多格列艾汀是全球首次完成2型糖尿病III期注册临床研究的GKA类原创新药,由中国研究者领导开发。两篇论文也是《自然-医学》杂志首次发表由中国研究者作为第一作者和通讯作者撰写的新机制糖尿病首创新药。两项研究均表明,在对两类2型糖尿病患者的治疗过程中,通过修复葡萄糖激酶(GK)的传感器功能缺陷,多格列艾汀能够持续、有效降低2型糖尿病(T2D)患者的糖化血红蛋白,显著降低餐后两小时血糖,在无低血糖条件下血糖达标率高,具有良好的安全性和耐受性,持续改善β细胞功能和降低胰岛素抵抗。多格列艾汀是华领医药历时10年自主研发的以GK为靶点用于治疗2型糖尿病的全球首创口服新药。GK在维持人体血糖稳态过程中发挥着核心作用,作为葡萄糖传感器感知人体血糖变化,及时刺激控糖器官分泌胰岛素、GLP-1或胰高糖素,有效调控人体血糖水平,将血糖控制在稳态范围之内(4-6.5 mmol/L的葡萄糖区间)。葡萄糖敏感性受损,主要表现为胰岛β细胞的葡萄糖刺激胰岛素分泌(GSIS)功能受损,餐后血糖升高,血糖波动增大,是T2D的源头病因。多格列艾汀作用于胰腺、肝脏、肠道等血糖调控器官的葡萄糖激酶,通过修复T2D患者的GK功能,修复人体对血糖水平变化的敏感性,改善胰岛素早相分泌和β细胞功能,降低血糖波动,重塑血糖稳态,控制和延缓2型糖尿病的进展,实现糖尿病停药缓解。华领医药已经先后发表了10多篇基础研究和临床研究结果方面的论文,不断阐明“修复传感、重塑稳态、从源头治疗糖尿病”的科学概念,《自然-医学》杂志发表的III期研究成果正是对此创新概念的临床验证。2021年3月,华领医药向国家药品监督管理局(NMPA)递交了多格列艾汀用于治疗T2D的新药上市申请,并于4月获得受理。目前,多格列艾汀处于审核冲刺阶段,华领医药正在积极配合NMPA的工作,争取尽快获得该药的新药上市批准。《自然-医学》是《自然》(Nature)旗下专注生物医学领域的学术期刊,重点关注“展示新颖疾病过程的机理,有直接证据的生理相关的研究结果”的原创论文。近年来开始专注发表大型临床研究论文,《自然-医学》的影响因子持续上升,近2年影响因子为53.44,超过《自然》杂志,跻身国际医学杂志前五位之列,其中包括传统四大医学杂志(《新英格兰医学杂志》(NEJM)、《柳叶刀》(Lancet)、《美国医学会杂志》(JAMA)和《英国医学期刊》(BMJ)。2009年葡萄糖激酶之父Franz

Actual net profit exceeds FY2020’s level, China Biotech Services’ (08037) new growth drivers expected to erupt consecutively

HONG KONG, Apr 20, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - As the pandemic continued to affect the market, China Biotech Services (08037), which owns one of the largest nucleic acid testing laboratories in Hong Kong, recently announced its 2021 annual report.According to the annual report, China Biotech Services recorded revenue of HK$624 million and net profit of HK$133 million during the reporting period due to strong demand for nucleic acid testing, as a result of the ongoing epidemic in Hong Kong. Thanks to the overall decline in the cost of materials used for nucleic acid testing, the Company's gross profit margin increased by 5.69 percent to 57.4%.In order to expand the business capabilities of the testing business segment, China Biotech Services increased its expenditure during the reporting period, which, combined with greater R&D investment, placed pressure on its net profit margin. Excluding investments in new product launches and R&D, the Company's actual net profit would have exceeded that of 2020.With the advent of the post-pandemic era in view, the Company's development path has become clearer. While enriching the product pipeline of the testing business and providing diversified testing services to generate stable cash flow, it has strengthened its investment in the latest precision radiotherapy technology and CAR-T innovative drugs to create new growth drivers and laid a solid foundation for the Company's rapid growth in the future and raise its intrinsic value.Precision testing enriches product lines, with channels expanded to accelerate business developmentCommitted to becoming the world's leading integrated platform for cancer treatment, China Biotech Services has formed three business segments, namely precision testing, precision treatment, and all-round precision targeted drug research and development, through both in-house R&D initiatives and patent introduction. The synergistic development of the sectors has continued to enhance the core competitiveness of the platform.Among them, precision testing is the "ballast" for the Company's steady development, not only because it is the main source of income, but also because the profits generated from this business play a key role in the cultivation and incubation of the other two major businesses. In order to ensure the continuous and stable development of the precision testing business in the post-pandemic era, China Biotech Services has made a multi-dimensional layout.Regarding the Sunrise Diagnostic Center (SDC), the fifth wave of the COVID-19 epidemic in Hong Kong has not yet subsided, with around 2,000 new cases reported on this 10th and 11th April. Although the peak has passed, the number of infections has not yet dropped to a comfortably low level. Hong Kong Chief Executive Mrs Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet Ngor previously said that universal COVID-19 testing would still be considered if the timing was right.At the same time, SDC offers testing services at a number of major immigration control points. It has been stationed at Hong Kong International Airport, Shenzhen Bay Port and HZMB Hong Kong Port, and offers testing services to China-Hong Kong cross-border drivers. According to the Zhitong Caijing APP, Hong Kong lifted flight bans on nine countries since this 1st April. With the continuous resumption of flights, Hong Kong, as one of the largest airports with the highest passenger flow in the world, will significantly drive the demand for nucleic acid testing. Moreover, the border between Hong Kong and the Mainland is about to open, which will surely drive the demand for nucleic acid testing.In addition to nucleic acid testing, SDC has been cooperating with the government to develop large-scale screening for public health programs including HPV and colorectal cancer, thus expanding the testing product lines. In the meantime, SDC has also made efforts at the service channelfront. In March 2022, it established a joint venture laboratory with Town Health International (03886) to achieve complementary advantages. Through Town Health International's clinic network, SDC's testing services can be quickly introduced to the market and facilitate the sustainable development for theGroup's testing businesses.The Asia Molecular Diagnostic Laboratory (AMDL), which provides cancer precision testing and concomitant diagnostic services, established a strategic partnership with Pillar Biosciences, Inc., a clinical cancer diagnostic company based in Boston, MA and Shanghai, China in 2019. We jointly provide tumor precision diagnostic products and services to Hong Kong, Macau, Great Bay Area, South Korea and Southeast Asia markets, and has built a high-throughput sequencing innovation laboratory at Hong Kong Science & Technology Park.Recently, the laboratory has passed the NGSST-B 2021 (Next-Generation Sequencing Solid Tumor) external quality assessment conducted by the College of American Pathologists ("CAP") with a perfect score. This demonstrates that the laboratory's professionalism and capability in data analysis and interpretation of tumor high-throughput sequencing have reached an advanced international level.Meanwhile, AMDL owns the first & sole commercialization rights of the Pillar Biosciences FDA-approved NGS companion diagnostic (CDx) test for lung and colorectal cancers which guides the prescription of targeted therapies. The CDx test will soon be launched in Hong Kong, where around 37,200 cancer patients seek medical treatment every year, and the demand of cancer diagnostic testing is still rising. Currently, the FDA approved CDx test conducted in Hong Kong are currently sent to the US for test diagnosis, resulting in long-turn around time and high costs (ranging from HK$45,000 to HK$100,000). Moreover, AMDL continues to develop various genetic tests in the fields like tumor mutational burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI), homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) detection and minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring. As the exclusive test provider and cancer diagnostic products distributor of Pillar Biosciences's FDA approved CDx kits in Hong Kong, AMDL boasts a clear monopolistic advantage. Its upcoming testing services are expected to provide at a reasonable price which aims to provide an accurate and robust cancer diagnostic test service to clinicians and their cancer patients for appropriate targeted therapies. The services are also expected to quickly penetrate the markets in Hong Kong and the Mainland and even the surrounding Southeast Asian markets.With a development history of more than 50 years and high brand recognition, PHC Medical Diagnostic Centre (PHC), one of the largest third-party medical testing centers in Hong Kong, captures a stable market share in traditional testing services. Zhitong Caijing learned that, in addition to introducing the latest WHO-recognized neutralizing antibody test targeting the Omicron variant, PHC has also cooperated with internationally renowned pharmaceutical companies for a contract period of five years to provide testing services for clinical trials. PHC will also continue to contribute stable income and cash flow to theGroup.It is foreseeable that, through the deployment of new growth drivers such as SDC and AMDL, as well as the stable development of PHC, China Biotech Services' precision testing business is expected to grow steadily and continue to play a key role in establishing a solid foundation. BNCT project commences construction, expected to be operational in 2024If precision testing is the main growth driver of current results performance, the boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) segment is expected to become the new growth driver for China Biotech Services in the medium to long term. It is reported that BNCT therapy, which was introduced from Japan by China Biotech Services, is the world's first BNCT technology to be approved for marketing and inclusion on the National Reimbursement Drug List.Compared with other particle therapies, BNCT therapy can kill tumor cells and tissues with only one radiotherapy treatment, and the course of treatment is significantly shortened. Therefore, the therapy is regarded as a "crown jewel" in the field of radiotherapy and is widely recognized by the industry as a new generation tumor treatment with great development potential.In November 2021, China Biotech Services' BNCT project officially passed the admission assessment of the International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone of Boao Hope City in Hainan, and an agreement for the entry into the pilot zone was signed on 28 February 2022, marking the official commencement of the project's construction. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2023, and will be ready to start operation and receive patients in 2024.Upon completion, the BNCT Center will become China's first boron neutron treatment facility able to provide commercialized treatment services. It will also become the first cancer center in China to provide BNCT, meeting the BNCT treatment needs of cancer patients nationwide, in Southeast Asia countries and even globally.In terms of market capacity, according to the 2017 Eighth National Radiotherapy Survey Report issued by the (Report of the 8th National Radiation Therapy Survey in 2017) of the Chinese Medical Association, China's radiotherapy equipment was 1.57 units per million people, far less than the 12.4 units per million people in the US, and also falling short of WHO's recommendation of two to four units per million people. Based on 0.5 BNCT devices per 1,000,000 people, the corresponding market demand in China is 700 sets.Compared with 33 proton radiotherapies, BNCT therapy has a higher pricing power thanks to the convenience and safety of only one radiotherapy treatment. The cost of one treatment can be around RMB 300,000 to RMB 400,000, which is still very attractive. Assuming China Biotech Services opens five treatment centers in the future with 10 devices installed and treats 10,000 people a year (in 2020, there were 4.57 million new cancer cases in China and cases of head and neck cancers alone already exceeded 140,000), it can realize an income of RMB 3 to 4 billion in a year, with obvious room for growth.Clinical trials progressing steadily, first subject dosing successfully completed The continued advancement of cell therapy clinical trials has also increased the Group's intrinsic value. On 21 January 2021, the IND application for LY007 Cellular Injection developed by Shanghai Longyao Biotech, a subsidiary of China Biotech Services, was officially approved by the National Medical Products Administration of China. This is the first CD20-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T-cell ("CAR-T") product filed and approved in China. It is reported that LY007 introduces an independent co-stimulatory signaling receptor OX40 into the structure of CAR, which is experimentally proven to reduce T-cell exhaustion, enhance the proliferation and killing ability of CAR-T cells and facilitate the release of more effector molecules, thereby improving the performance of CAR-T in terms of both safety and effectiveness. Given these mechanisms, LY007 has the potential to treat solid tumors, for which the majority of existing CAR-T cell therapies have no significant efficacy.On 25 January and 27 January 2022, the launch event for Phase I registered clinical trial of LY007 for the treatment of relapsed/refractory CD20-positive B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was successfully held at Shanghai Ruijin Hospital and Jiangsu People's Hospital, respectively. The trial is co-hosted by Zhao Weili, Vice President of Ruijin Hospital, and Li Jianyong, Head of the Department of Hematology at Jiangsu People's Hospital.On 1 March 2022, the first subject was enrolled in the LY007 Phase I registered clinical program at Shanghai Ruijin Hospital, and on this 7th April, the infusion of cells for the first subject was completed. The infusion process was generally smooth, and the subject was in good condition following the procedure. The Company expects to compile the preliminary data by the end of September 2022, and the interim data will be released by the first half of 2023. The Phase II clinical trial application is expected to be approved in the first half of next year and will be completed in the second half of 2024, according to China Biotech Services.As we all know, the disclosure of clinical data is a key factor in determining the real value of drug R&D companies. Once the data meet the expectations, the Company's intrinsic value will grow exponentially, and the market has been eagerly awaiting the data of the Phase I clinical trial by Shanghai Longyao Biotech.Moreover, Shanghai Yaolong and the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University officially launched clinical research on an innovative CAR-T (LY011) for treating pancreatic cancer and gastric cancer in October 2021, and four patients have been enrolled. The safety, PK characteristics and preliminary efficacy findings suggest that the LY011 is worthy of further research and development.From the capital market perspective, China Biotech Services has been significantly undervalued. According to data released by China Merchants Securities (Hong Kong), the market value of comparable clinical-stage CAR-T companies listed on main board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong is more than US$1.2 billion, while the market value of comparable CAR-T companies listed on NASDAQ is more than US$6 billion. The current market value of China Biotech Services is actually less than US$200 million, which means that the market's perception of China Biotech Services is still limited to precision testing, and the market value only reflects the valuation of the precision testing segment.Nonetheless, China Biotech Services' model of using the profits and cash flow from the testing business to incubate other new growth drivers has proved effective. The BNCT segment and CAR-T cell therapy have been steadily progressing and have become the Company's new growth drivers in the medium to long term, laying a solid foundation for sustainable growth in the future. With the implementation of the BNCT project and the announcement of the clinical trial of the LY007 injection, the intrinsic value of China Biotech Services will be greatly enhanced and is expected to be reflected in its market value, and the present moment is probably the best time to formulate a development plan.In addition, China Biotech Services has achieved profitability for two consecutive years. According to its current operating trend, its performance is expected to maintain stable growth. After achieving profitability this year, the factors restricting the transfer of its listing to the main board will be eliminated, and the Company's financial position will meet the conditions required for the transfer of its listing from the GEM to the main board. Once the transfer is successful, the increase in liquidity will lead to a restoration in valuation. At that time, the Company's market value is expected to rise sharply under the allocation of passive investment funds, and the valuation is expected to be on a par with comparable companies.Source: Zhitong Caijing Copyright 2022 ACN Newswire.

Nissin Foods Announces 2021 Annual Results, Financial Performance Exceeds High 2020 Baseline

HONG KONG, Mar 22, 2022 - (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 annual results today for the year ended 31 December 2021. Results Highlights-- Revenue increased mainly resulted from high sales volume growth of "Cup Noodles" in Mainland China and an increase in revenue from the diversified portfolio in Hong Kong. -- To celebrate Nissin Foods' 5th listing anniversary in the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong and the 50th birthday of "Cup Noodles", the Board has recommended a final dividend of 14.56 HK cents per share and a special dividend of 2.91 HK cents per share, totalling 17.47 HK cents per share. -- In face of the rising cost pressure from the soaring price of raw materials and logistics, the Group increased the ex-factory price of its key instant noodle products by a mid-single-digit percentage point on average in Mainland China from 1 March 2022. Similarly in Hong Kong, the ex-factory price of certain bag-type and container-type instant noodles will be increased by mid-to-high single-digit percentages from 1 April 2022. Revenue of the Group increased by 9.9% year-on-year ("YoY") to HK3,866.3 million (2020: HK$3,518.8 million). The Group's EBITDA grew by 6.0% YoY to HK$604.1 million (2020: HK$570.0 million), representing an EBITDA margin of 15.6% (2020: 16.2%). Profit attributable to owners of the Company increased by 0.6% YoY to HK$303.8 million (2020: HK$301.9 million), representing a net profit margin of 7.9% (2020: 8.6%). The Group's basic earnings per share increased to 28.74 HK cents for 2021 (2020: 28.11 HK cents) due to a decrease in the weighted average number of shares outstanding attributable to the shares buyback during the year.Hong Kong OperationsRevenue from the Hong Kong operations increased by 3.4% YoY to HK$1,466.2 million (2020: HK$1,418.4 million), due to an increase in revenue from the non-instant noodle business, and in particular, from frozen food, vegetable and fruit juices, fresh-cut vegetables and confectionary, as well as the distribution business in the absence of a demand surge, especially for bag-type instant noodles as experienced in early 2020 when the pandemic began. Segment results amounted to HK$123.5 million (2020: HK$165.5 million). The decrease was mainly attributable to the surge in raw material prices and expenses relating to its brand investments. Revenue from the Hong Kong operations accounted for 37.9% (2020: 40.3%) of the Group's revenue.With relative normalcy returning to Hong Kong for an extended period of time, the performance of the cup-type instant noodles has correspondingly returned to a level achieved in 2020, with solid growth in sales volume realised towards the end of 2021. In celebrating the 50th anniversary of "Cup Noodles" in 2021, the Company has revamped the "Cup Noodles" brand by introducing smoother noodles and improved soup quality; providing excellent dining experiences for its beloved customers. Also, the Company has sustained efforts to offer high-quality noodles under the "Demae Iccho" brand, hence the use of Hokkaido wheat flour which is renowned for its fine texture and fresh wheat flavour, consequently earning high praise from consumers. Moreover, to further complement the instant noodle portfolio, the Company has launched additional offerings under the "Doll" brand, allowing consumers to enjoy a series of novel and innovative products. Outside of its noodle business, the Group's packed fresh-cut vegetables have achieved a steady increase in sales volume. This can be attributed to a rising number of supermarkets now selling the Group's produce, as well as its increasing popularity among health-conscious consumers who favour fresh vegetables. Also, the sales of granola has risen, not only in Hong Kong and Mainland China, but also in Singapore and Thailand. Similarly, the "Kagome" vegetable juice business has been steadily expanding on the back of rising sales volume. Mainland China OperationsRevenue in the Mainland China operations recorded strong growth in the review year, surpassing the high baseline set in 2020. The strong performance is a testament to the effectiveness of its business model, and highlights the Company's commitment to the Mainland China market. Revenue from the Mainland China operations increased by 14.3% YoY (in local currency: 6.6%), rising from HK$2,100.4 million in 2020 to HK$2,400.2 million in 2021, due to sales volume growth by the cup-type instant noodles, as customers continuously gravitated towards new tastes and higher quality products. The joint venture distribution business also contributed to the revenue growth owing to a full year of operation. Segment results significantly increased by 21.0% YoY to HK$299.1 million (2020: HK$247.1 million), mainly attributable to greater sales volume from cup-type instant noodles, but this was offset by the surge in raw material costs. Revenue from the Mainland China operations accounted for 62.1% (2020: 59.7%) of the Group's revenue. Sales volume of Mainland China's flagship "Cup Noodles" brand grew at a double-digit rate. Same as the Hong Kong operations, a product revamp was rolled out in Mainland China - since May 2021, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of "Cup Noodles", which included an upgrade in the quality of noodles and soup. The Company has continuously executed brand investments in its unique instant noodles in Mainland China to build brand loyalty. Along the same lines, the bowl-type Nissin "U.F.O." Stir Noodles was redesigned with an improved lid for draining hot water so as to ensure convenience and safety. Moreover, a new sauce with richer taste was introduced to create a more satisfying consumption experience, hence deliver value added products.Launched in April 2020, the distribution business in Shanghai has been engaging in the distribution of Japanese confectionery and beverages of third-party brands. The subsidiary has also been seeking to expand the sales volume of "Kagome" vegetables and fruit juices, along with the Company's own brand of granola through its sales network. The results were in line with the Company's expectations. Regarding the new packaging materials manufacturing plant located in Zhuhai, as announced in July 2019, its full-scale production commenced in December 2021 after trial operations. The Zhuhai plant primarily produces soft packaging materials, including packaging films for bag-type instant noodles, cup-type instant noodles, liquids, and powders.ProspectsLooking ahead, unless and until the pandemic is contained and daily life returns to normal, raw material price fluctuations will continue to impact the manufacturing businesses for some time. The Company has taken various measures to improve production efficiency and reduce a wide range of costs to alleviate price pressures. However, these measures are insufficient to absorb the constantly rising cost of raw materials. Under this challenging economic environment, the Company increased the ex-factory price of its key instant noodle products in Mainland China by a mid-single-digit percentage point on average from 1 March 2022. This is the first price adjustment in Mainland China in 11 years. Similarly in Hong Kong, the ex-factory price of certain bag-type and container-type instant noodles will be increased by mid-to-high single-digit percentages from 1 April 2022. The price adjustment will be applied to the "Demae Iccho" series, "Cup Noodles" series and "U.F.O." products. The last price adjustment on "Damae Iccho" bag noodles was 14 years ago in 2008, and three years ago in 2019 on container-type noodles, including "Cup Noodles".The Company will continue to focus on expanding its geographical sales coverages and invest in its brands. Consumption is expected to continue to grow in Mainland China, as per capita spending further increases. Nissin Foods is confident in maintaining its track record of sales growth of value-added products and will continue to expand sales coverage, particularly in Northern China and Western China, and increase in-store sales. Meanwhile, the Company will also strive to enhance product quality alongside the price adjustment. In addition, to ensure sustainable growth, the Hong Kong operations will focus on increasing sales from its non-instant noodle business. Mr Kiyotaka ANDO, Executive Director, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nissin Foods, said, "Amid unprecedented times created by the COVID-19 pandemic, our management, staff and workers have been working together to achieve the management's goals. Consequently, the Group's 2021 financial performance has been able to exceed the high baseline set in 2020. As the consumption upgrade trend remains in progress in Mainland China, there will be ample opportunities for our premium instant noodles to capture greater market share. In terms of the non-instant noodles business, the Group will continue to expand its presence in Hong Kong and Mainland China, create synergies with the noodle business, and thereby enhance the financial performance of this business segment."The challenges brought about by COVID-19 have affected not only our lives, but also our economy and society. As the leading instant noodle manufacturer in Hong Kong, Nissin Foods is committed to providing consumers with quality instant noodles and ensuring their stable supply at all times. We will continue to pay close attention to market changes and adjust our production and logistics support as needed so as to continue to provide consumers with quality and safe products. Going forward, we are determined to maximise business outcome while developing the Group's business operation and organisation, with the aim of creating long-term value for all stakeholders, including shareholders and investors of the Company."For complete information on the Group's 2021 annual results, please refer to the Company's Annual Results Announcement, which is available on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange website at: https://www1.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/sehk/2022/0322/2022032200459.pdf About Nissin Foods Company LimitedNissin Foods Company Limited (The "Group"; Stock code: 1475) is a renowned food company in Hong Kong and Mainland China with a diversified portfolio of well-known and highly popular brands and the largest instant noodle company in Hong Kong.

15th Asian Financial Forum opens

HONG KONG, Jan 10, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Organised by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the 15th Asian Financial Forum (AFF) opened today as an online-only event. AFF 2022 is a highlight event celebrating the 25th anniversary of the HKSAR. The two-day forum features 60 sessions including keynote speeches and in-depth discussions along with an array of activities such as exhibitions and the AFF Deal Flow Matchmaking Session. All activities at AFF 2022 will be streamed live on the event's virtual platform.Carrie Lam, Chief Executive of the HKSAR, delivered remarks at the opening ceremony of the 15th Asian Financial ForumMark Carney (R), United Nations Special Envoy on Climate Action and Finance, shared his insights on how to build a sustainable financial system. Mr Carney was introduced by Ronnie Chan, Chair, Hang Lung Properties Limited (L)Jean-Claude Trichet, Former President of the European Central BankUnder the theme "Navigating the Next Normal towards a Sustainable Future", more than 170 global business leaders, policymakers, financial and wealth management experts, entrepreneurs, tech giants and economists from 16 countries and regions speak at the AFF, and examine the key issues reshaping the economic landscape, including how industries can realise sustainable and inclusive development through impactful venture capital and business strategies.Carrie Lam, Chief Executive of the HKSAR, officiated at the forum's opening ceremony. In her opening remarks she noted that: "With 'One Country, Two Systems' back on the right track, international investors and observers have shown confidence in Hong Kong. The latest Global Financial Centres Index, in September last year, ranked Hong Kong third globally among the more than 100 financial centres assessed, behind only New York and London. Looking ahead, beyond the pandemic and the continuing cloud it raises over global economic growth, particularly associated with the Omicron variant, we see boundless possibilities."In his welcome remarks, Dr Peter K N Lam, Chairman of the HKTDC, said: "This year is especially meaningful because the AFF is also the first of many events to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. While we are still tackling the pandemic, we are also looking beyond the pandemic to recovery, which is the main direction of the AFF theme this year. We have brought together policymakers and business leaders from around the world to discuss important global issues from an Asian perspective. This year, our event will again be held virtually, and I hope we can reach more people from around the world to share ideas and inspire each other."Three heavyweight financial ministers from Mainland China delivered special remarks during the opening session. They included Dr Shang Fulin, Director of the CPPCC Economic Affairs Committee, Former Chairman of the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, and Former Chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission; Dr Fang Xinghai, Vice Chairman, China Securities Regulatory Commission; and Xiao Yuanqi, Vice Chairman, China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission.Dr Shang noted: "Global openness requires cooperation, and a rules-based multilateral trading system is the cornerstone of economic globalisation and free trade. The international community must double-down on consensus-building and actions. We must also stand firm on maintaining openness, inclusiveness, dialogue and collaboration to jointly address global issues and challenges. This will enable us to promote stronger and greener global development and champion a community with a shared future."Mark Carney and Jean-Claude Trichet deliver keynote speeches on first dayMark Carney, United Nations Special Envoy on Climate Action and Finance, delivered a keynote address on the first day of AFF 2022. He shared his insights on how to build a sustainable financial system as a way of mitigating the liability and transitional threats posed by climate change. "From a general perspective, the risks of future pandemics have gone up because of climate change. And what is disappointing is that we have known of these risks of pandemics for a long period of time. The upfront investment against them in terms of healthcare capacity, testing, et cetera, is extremely modest relative to the cost, and we still haven't made those investments on the scale that we need. We have to take this seriously. It is compounded by climate change," Mr Carney said.Another distinguished speaker was Jean-Claude Trichet, Former President of the European Central Bank. He noted that the financial industry, regulators and policymakers should step up their concerted efforts in times of uncertainty.Global financial policymakers and experts discuss green finance and sustainable growthA plenary session chaired by Christopher Hui, Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of the HKSAR, was held following the opening session. Mr Hui joined together with an international panel of financial ministers, bank governors and policymakers to examine the characteristics of the post-COVID global economic new normal and discuss how the public and private sectors can collaborate to orient the global economy towards a green future with sustainable growth.

Diokno, Central Bank Governor, Philippines; Klaas Knot, Chair, Financial Stability Board and President, De Nederlandsche Bank; Teresa Ko, Co-vice chair, IFRS Foundation; and Dr Ma Jun, Co-Chair of G20 Sustainable Finance Working Group, Co-Chair of IPSF Taxonomy Working Group; Chairman and President of Hong Kong Green Finance Association. The panel exchanged views on how the financial system can better support a sustainable global recovery while keeping climate-related financial risks at bay.Echoing the theme of AFF 2022, a panel discussion on "ESG & Sustainability" was also staged. Stewart James, Chief of Staff, Sustainability Policy & Regulation, HSBC, spoke with panellists including Andrew Erickson, Chief Productivity Officer, Head of International Business, State Street; Shinta Widjaja Kamdani, CEO, Sintesa Group; Amy Lo, Co-Head Wealth Management Asia Pacific, UBS Global Wealth Management; and Saker Nusseibeh, CEO, Federated Hermes International. The speakers shared their perspectives on how governments around the world, industry giants, financial institutions and philanthropists can work together towards the wider implementation of environmental, social and governance (ESG) to build a sustainable future.Financial and business leaders examine global economic outlookOther esteemed financial ministers and business leaders who spoke at AFF 2022 included Ju Weimin, Vice Chairman, President & CIO, China Investment Corporation, a sovereign wealth fund; Paul M Achleitner, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Deutsche Bank AG; Tony O Elumelu, Group Chairman, United Bank for Africa (UBA) and Founder, Tony Elumelu Foundation; Bill Winters, Group Chief Executive, Standard Chartered plc; Tian Guoli, Chairman, Executive Director, China Construction Bank Corporation; Liu Jin, President, Bank of China Limited; Shriti Vadera, Group Chair, Prudential plc; and Douglas Flint, Chairman, abrdn plc.AFF Deal Flow Matchmaking Session and fintech exhibition held onlineFrom 10 to 12 January, the AFF Deal Flow Matchmaking Session is arranging a series of one -on-one matchmaking meetings on the virtual AFF platform to facilitate collaboration between project owners, potential business partners and investors.
