西南偏南影展3部科幻片揭示驚人敘事趨勢

Obscured Pictures(SeaPRwire) - 科幻從來都是一種靈活的類型,涵蓋了從低俗冒險到太空歌劇再到時空旅行浪漫喜劇等各種故事。它是一種不斷演變、無固定形態的類型,既可以要求最高預算來呈現遙遠的世界,也可以成為低成本、低保真人物劇的完美背景。在今年的SXSW影視節上,後者(低保真人物劇)佔據了主導地位,科幻成為親密人類劇情的背景——成敗參半。這是否預示著科幻電影製作的新趨勢?還是僅僅是巧合:幾位導演都用時空旅行或數字意識傳輸來講述以人物為核心的故事?也許兩者皆是。以下是幾部將科幻作為人物劇「道具」的優劣作品速覽。AnimaSydney Chandler在《Anima》中依舊出色演繹了非人的冷漠。 | Obscured Pictures導演Brian Tetsuro Ivie執導的科幻劇《Anima》給人一種失重感,其背景設定在復古未來主義的未來:科技進步到寵物可以永生,人類肉體死亡後意識能上傳至雲端。或許是主角Beck(《Alien: Earth》的Sydney Chandler 飾)的冷漠個性——這位不善交際的工程師接受了一份工作,成為即將因絕症離世、準備上傳意識的孤獨日本商人Paul(《幕府將軍》的平岳大 飾)的「處理者」;或許是影片對生命頗為蒼白的歌頌——Beck與Paul開啟了一場奇特的橫跨全國告別之旅;又或許僅僅是《Anima》中「戰勝死亡」的未來設定(永生寵物、數字永生的人類),讓其「生命肯定」的故事顯得過於平淡。影片融入日本元素(儘管設定模糊,偶爾出現美國汽車旅館),並聚焦音樂的連結力量,多少讓人聯想到村上春樹的作品,但它對這位《1Q84》作者「曖昧超現實主義」的模仿大多未能奏效。當Paul帶著Beck拜訪他曾輕蔑或遺棄的人時,Ivie穿插了隨機的荒謬意象與未來感細節,但《Anima》本質上是一部令人失望的套路公路片。除了Paul對Beck的直白陳述,你很難感受到它的世界觀或Paul的悔恨。這是一部無目的的科幻劇,其衝突與角色一樣薄弱。Anima於3月12日在SXSW首映,目前尚未確定發行商或公映日期。The SaviorsAdam Scott與Danielle Deadwyler在《The Saviors》中的才華均被浪費。 | Courtesy of SXSW《The Saviors》或許是我在SXSW看到的最浪費時間與才華的作品。由Adam Scott與Danielle Deadwyler飾演即將離婚的郊區夫婦,這部科幻懸疑片偽裝成偏執心理驚悚片——若不是後者充斥著過時的中東刻板印象與膚淺的政治評論,這本無可厚非。影片由Kevin Hamedani執導,跟隨Scott與Deadwyler飾演的Sean與Kim Harrison展開:他們住在寧靜的郊區,直到Airbnb房客抵達打破平靜。房客是Amir與Jahan Razi(Theo Rossi與Nazanin Boniadi 飾)——一對中東兄妹,妹妹失聰,表面友善卻行為詭異,引發Sean與Kim的懷疑:他們膽小、似乎總在窺視他人,最糟的是,他們藏著看起來像炸彈部件的奇怪機器。隨著總統即將造訪小鎮,Sean與Kim開始擔心自己捲入了一場大陰謀——而事實比他們想像的更離奇。《The Saviors》令人惱火地隱藏科幻元素,僅偶爾給出暗示:Amir與Jahan住的客房閃過綠光、Sean被世界末日的噩夢纏身。但它大多時候專注於Sean與Kim的偏執幻想——他們認為自己窩藏了恐怖分子。這部片開局充滿潛力,卻以令人失望的落後、僵化手法推進,最終「搞砸」一切時為時已晚。The Saviors於3月13日在SXSW首映,目前尚未確定發行商或公映日期。Sparks《Sparks》中怪趣的演員陣容是影片的亮點。 | Obscured PicturesCleo(Elsie Fisher 飾)剛搬到內布拉斯加州的小鎮Sparks,就立刻想盡快離開。當一台香煙販賣機意外吐出一本關於法國新浪潮導演尚-呂克·高達的書時,Cleo成為了狂熱的電影愛好者。直到她遇見「Crop」——一群流浪青少年,常去附近水庫,相信那裡有時空穿越的能力——她決定回到1960年代的巴黎成為演員。Crop的領袖Antoine(Charlie B. Foster 飾)立刻愛上了Cleo,並推動團隊幫她實現夢想。但當Cleo獨自消失在水庫後,Crop陷入混亂——直到她歸來,徹底推翻了他們對世界運行的認知。《Sparks》無疑是這批低保真科幻片中的最佳。作為一部迷人且充滿奇想的酷兒成長片,它的夢幻感與「白日夢者」主角群完美契合。由新人與潛力演員Denny McAuliffe、Madison Hu、Simon Downes Toney、Thomas Deen Baker、Julia D’Angelo組成的卡司,構成了這部由Fergus Campbell編導的電影的「粗糙核心」。青少年們墜入愛河又分手、舉辦接近超現實的古怪燒烤派對、與酷兒牛仔鬥舞,並用魏斯·安德森式的平靜腔調掩飾內心翻湧的情感。這正是低保真手法適合的獨立科幻故事,必將成為年輕電影愛好者挖掘的「隱藏寶藏」。Sparks於3月12日在SXSW首映,目前尚未確定發行商或公映日期。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

25年後,星際爭霸戰揭露星際艦隊成立的隱藏原因 Business

25年後,星際爭霸戰揭露星際艦隊成立的隱藏原因

Cryptic Studios/Paramount(SeaPRwire) - 星際艦隊(Starfleet)是何時首次成立的?在《星際爭霸戰》(Star Trek)的傳說中,這個問題可能比你想像的要棘手。幸運的是,一部由 Star Trek Online 發布的低調新紀錄片,為「最終邊疆」(Final Frontier)的早期提供了新的見解。每個核心的《星際爭霸戰》粉絲都知道,星際聯邦(United Federation of Planets)成立於2161年,從那時起,星際艦隊就一直是維護和平、勇敢地前往前人未至之地的太空艦隊。但實際上,有兩個星際艦隊:一個是2161年後為聯邦服務的星際艦隊,另一個是之前存在的星際艦隊,也就是第一個星際艦隊。在《星際爭霸戰:皮卡德》第三季中,當尚-路克(Jean-Luc,派屈克·史都華飾)和威爾·瑞克(Will Riker,強納森·佛瑞克斯飾)被要求慶祝「邊疆日」(Frontier Day)時,他們基本上是在談論亞契艦長(Archer)的 NX-01 企業號 的首次航行,這艘船的歷史早於聯邦。然而,正如《企業號》(Enterprise)劇集所展示的,22世紀的星際艦隊在第一艘搭載曲速五引擎的星艦發射之前就已經存在。現在,隨著 Star Trek Online 慶祝遊戲發行16週年和2001年《企業號》劇集首播25週年,一部新的迷你紀錄片已經發布。這部14分鐘長的遊戲內新紀錄片,理論上是為了解釋 Star Trek Online 新捆綁包中的四艘不同星艦。這些星艦包括:瓦肯蘇洛克級科學驅逐艦(Vulcan Suurok-class Science Destroyer)、人類NP級護衛艦(Human NP-class Escort)、安多利亞庫馬里級戰鬥巡洋艦(Andorian Kumari-class Battlecruiser)和人類NV級多任務巡洋艦(Human NV-class Multi-Mission Cruiser)。如果你是個普通粉絲,這些船艦類別對你來說並不那麼有名,這也是紀錄片存在的部分原因。還記得《企業號》開場蒙太奇中出現的一些早於NX-01的星艦嗎?其中一艘船在紀錄片中得到了更全面的解釋和剖析,這也像是一種《星際爭霸戰》正典的補充:在2150年代NX-01時代之前,究竟是誰真正創立了星際艦隊?正如《企業號》劇集透過崔維斯·梅威瑟(Travis Mayweather)這個角色的背景所闡述的,被稱為「拓荒者」(Boomers)的人類貿易商是早期的一些先驅,他們在地球和其他附近行星之間進行商業活動。紀錄片概述的簡短答案是,即使是瓦肯人,在21世紀末和22世紀初對地球扮演著家長式的角色,通常也不會干預來幫助那些遭受海盜或其他騷擾的人類船隻。「當涉及到其貨船和殖民地的安全時,地球只能靠自己,」紀錄片宣稱。那麼接下來發生了什麼?嗯,這又是《星際爭霸戰》前史的一部分,在各種電視劇中從未真正探索過,但在2063年和2151年(「第一次接觸」和NX-01發射)之間,第一個版本的星際艦隊成立了,其主要目的是保護地球的民用船隻免受外星海盜的侵害。星際艦隊並非始於探索團體其中一艘NP級護衛艦,第一批「星際艦隊」船隻。 | Paramount/Star Trek Online所以在《星際爭霸戰》的時間線中,在22世紀初,有大量地球船隻遭到海盜襲擊,而瓦肯人卻沒有提供太多幫助。根據紀錄片,這導致了2123年10月17日的一個時刻,聯合地球議會(United Earth assembly)通過了一項名為「恆河決議」(Ganges Resolution)的立法,該立法「資助建造了六艘星艦,使用退役貨運渡輪的船體……這些新船將被指定為NP級護衛艦。」這種較舊的船型在《企業號》中出現過幾次,現在,截至2026年,它已成為 Star Trek Online 中的可玩船隻。但這個細節有趣之處在於,如果我們將其視為真實的正典,那麼這些船隻的創建,在某種程度上是追溯性地確立了早期形式的星際艦隊百分之百是為了保護緩慢的地球商船免受海盜侵害而創建的,而不是為了勇敢地進入太空。正如紀錄片所述:「多虧了NP級星艦及其星際部署,星際艦隊擁有一支小型但不斷壯大的專業太空航行人員隊伍。這個萌芽中的團體是最終發展成為真正的星際軍官團的種子。」一艘NP級船隻保衛地球免受外星海盜侵害。 | Paramount/Star Trek Online再次強調,這段《星際爭霸戰》歷史比《企業號》劇集早了幾十年,從未真正在螢幕上探索過。對於核心《星際爭霸戰》粉絲來說,這絕對是令人著迷的。有傳言稱,新的《星際爭霸戰》電影可能會設定在22世紀的某個時候,而這個艱難的時期似乎是正典接下來可以探索的絕佳地點。2200年代、2300年代和3190年代似乎都相當遙遠。但一個假設設定在2120年代或2130年代的《星際爭霸戰》版本感覺更接近現實,因此……引人入勝。新的《企業號》捆綁包現已在 Star Trek Online 上架。新的紀錄片可在遊戲內觀看。Phasers on Stun!: How the Making — and Remaking — of Star Trek Changed the WorldAmazon - 本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Vantage Goldfields Corrects Misleading Announcement by Lions Bay Capital Inc. (LBI) ACN Newswire

Vantage Goldfields Corrects Misleading Announcement by Lions Bay Capital Inc. (LBI)

SYDNEY, AU, Mar 28, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - Vantage Goldfields Limited (Vantage Goldfields) owns Vantage Goldfields Pty Ltd (VGL), Barbrook Mines Pty Ltd (Barbrook) and Makonjwaan Imperial Mining Company (Pty) Ltd (MIMCO) (collectively the Vantage Companies), which own the Lily and Barbrook mines in South Africa. The Vantage Companies are currently in business rescue in South Africa, which is the legal process that assists financially distressed companies restructure, or otherwise avoid liquidation.An announcement was made on 26 March 2026 by TSX-V listed Lions Bay Capital Inc. (Lions Bay), which the Vantage Companies believe is misleading to investors and fails to disclose material information (the Announcement). That Announcement referred to Lions Bay receiving approval from a business rescue practitioner (BRP) of the Vantage Companies and calling a meeting of creditors to approve business rescue plans for the Vantage Companies.The Announcement is misleading and fails to disclose relevant material information regarding the Vantage Companies and Lions Bay proposal, including:While the Announcement referred to a Business Rescue Practitioner (BRP) (being Mr Devereux) approving the Lions Bay proposal, it failed to disclose that the Vantage Companies have two appointed BRPs and the second BRP has not approved the Lions Bay's proposal. Both BRPs have to approve a proposal in order for it to be presented to creditors. The second BRP was appointed by the Boards of the Vantage Companies, and his appointment was confirmed by the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC), the corporate regulator in South Africa.The second BRP was appointed to ensure that all viable proposals for the rescue of the Vantage Companies are properly considered and that a business rescue is then properly and lawfully implemented for the benefit of all stakeholders, including creditors, former employees and the local community, as soon as possible.Vantage Goldfields as the owner of the Vantage Companies and Lily and Barbrook mines, has received a number of viable proposals for the rescue of the Vantage Companies and the reopening of those mines, which should be properly considered by the BRPs. These proposals should result in a better outcome for creditors and other stakeholders of the Vantage Companies than the Lions Bay proposal.Mr. Devereux acted unilaterally and unlawfully in purporting to approve an offer from Lions Bay and convene a meeting of creditors of the Vantage Companies. Vantage Goldfields believes that Mr. Devereux misled such creditors by failing to disclose that Lions Bay does not have the necessary US$40 million in funds to be able to complete its proposal.The Announcement failed to disclose that for the Lions Bay proposal to be able to be implemented, an approval from a BRP is not legally sufficient to be able to implement that proposal, and that proposal would need to be approved by specified majorities of creditors of each of the Vantage Companies. Vantage Goldfields has been informed by the largest secured creditor of the Vantage Companies that it does not support and will not vote in favour of the Lions Bay proposal at the necessary meetings of creditors, on its current terms and given that Lions Bay does not have all the necessary funds to complete the proposal. That creditor also has not agreed to release its securities over the asset of the Vantage Companies.Therefore, the necessary approvals of creditors will not be obtained, and the Lions Bay proposal will not be able to be implemented as currently proposed.Vantage Goldfields intends to ensure that all viable proposals are properly considered for the business rescue of the Vantage Companies, and that the business rescue process is progressed and implemented properly in accordance with South African law. Vantage Goldfields remains fully committed to reopening the Lily and Barbrook mines for the benefit of all creditors, former employees, affected persons and other stakeholders of the Vantage Companies.Stephen TurnerChairman-Vantage Goldfieldsst@stephenturner.com.auThis press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements about our future operations, plans, objectives, expectations, estimates, forecasts, or projections.

歐盟朝創建海外移民「返還中心」邁進 News

歐盟朝創建海外移民「返還中心」邁進

(SeaPRwire) - 批評者抨擊該倡議,稱這些設施為「法律黑洞」中的拘留中心 歐洲議員們已批准與歐盟理事會就一項新的、有爭議的法律框架展開談判,該框架旨在建立區塊鏈機制以驅逐非法移民,包括在第三國設立所謂的「遣返中心」。 將歐盟邊境以外的實際拘留設施用於收容被認為無權留在該集團內的移民的想法,一直遭到權利組織和親移民政治勢力的反對。根據仍處於立法程序早期階段的擬議《遣返條例》,將被歐盟遣返的人將被送往海外的「遣返中心」,而不是留在集團內等待驅逐。批評者堅持認為,該計劃旨在將非法移民和庇護申請失敗者消失在「法律黑洞」中。 該擬議改革於周四進行了全體投票,此前三個左翼政治集團,即社會民主黨(S&D)、綠黨/歐洲自由聯盟(Greens/EFA)和左翼黨(The Left),已分別提出請求。這些集團試圖挑戰本月早些時候公民自由委員會的一項決定,當時該委員會批准了進入機構間談判的擬議立法。該嘗試失敗了,389 名歐洲議會議員投票贊成繼續推進該提案的立法程序的下一階段,206 人投票反對,32 人棄權。 投票結果遭到多個人權組織的強烈譴責,這些組織指責右翼和反移民政黨推動了一項據稱考慮不周的倡議。 例如,國際特赦組織歐洲機構主任 Eve Geddie 表示,該擬議改革沒有得到「充分審查或有意義的人權評估」。 她在一份聲明中說:「這標誌著一種日益增長的趨勢,即採取越來越有害、排斥性和嚴厲的移民政策,對正當程序和基於證據的政策制定產生令人擔憂的影響。這些提案遠非減少非法移民,反而可能使更多人陷入困境。」 《遣返條例》於去年 3 月提出,旨在取代 2008 年的《遣返指令》,該指令優先考慮非法移民和庇護申請失敗者的「自願遣返」。2025 年 12 月,19 個歐盟成員國敦促歐洲委員會幫助資助歐盟以外的「遣返中心」,稱其為解決困擾該集團十多年的移民湧入問題的「創新解決方案」。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

是糟粕之首?Sora的下滑可能引发人工智能雪崩 News

是糟粕之首?Sora的下滑可能引发人工智能雪崩

(SeaPRwire) - OpenAI 曾寄望於該影片生成平台來賺錢。該平台的失勢可能預示著更多麻煩。 OpenAI 已意外關閉其生成式 AI 影片模型 Sora。儘管最初廣受歡迎,但該技術卻飽受爭議和版權問題的困擾,並且證明成本過高。 對 OpenAI 來說,一項重大打擊是,一項允許 Sora 用戶生成包含迪士尼角色的 AI 影片的 10 億美元(截至 2025 年 12 月)交易,在 Sora 被拋棄的同時被取消了。 該公司沒有說明關閉 Sora 的原因,儘管分析師指出經濟狀況不佳。隨著 AI 正經歷看似泡沫的時期,許多人想知道 Sora 的垮台是否會是終結的開始,尤其是在針對伊朗的戰爭壓力影響供應鏈並推高能源成本的情況下。 Sora 是什麼? Sora 是由 OpenAI 開發的一款由 AI 驅動的文字轉影片平台,能夠根據文字提示生成電影級別的高清影片。該平台於 2024 年首次亮相,並於 2025 年 9 月作為獨立應用程式推出,迅速登上 Apple 美國 App Store 的榜首。 其生成的片段在所有客觀標準下都令人驚嘆。此外,在大多數 AI 影片工具只能生成四秒鐘且難以維持的片段時,Sora 能夠生成長達 60 秒的視覺連貫的畫面。 該應用程式透過一項名為「客串」的功能,允許將真人插入 AI 生成的影片中。然而,這項功能從一開始就引發了爭議。除了規避或公然侵犯版權法外,許多用戶還利用該工具創建荒謬且在許多情況下令人反感的影片。例如,一段影片展示了阿道夫·希特勒與麥可·傑克森爭論誰創造了月球漫步。 Sora(尤其是新款且改進的 Sora 2)的出現,讓好萊塢及其周邊的創意產業陷入恐慌。突然之間,只需按一下按鈕,就可以召喚出完整的表演,而無需支付費用,甚至無需提及相關人員。然而,最終,這類內容雖然受到許多用戶的歡迎,但在尋找可行的經濟利基方面卻步履維艱,許多分析師認為,一旦新奇感消退,就沒有多少動力能夠維持下去。 一家名為 404 Media 的媒體尖銳批評道:「Sora 和迪士尼與垃圾 AI 的合作的徹底失敗表明,AI 垃圾確實不是好萊塢的未來。迪士尼甚至沒有達到讓用戶能夠使用迪士尼角色進行創作的地步,就已經終止了整個項目及其投資。」 分析師認為 Sora 被淘汰的真正原因是什麼? 此決定似乎是由財務考量驅動的,因為 OpenAI 正在尋求精簡營運,為今年可能進行的首次公開募股做準備。 該平台成本極高。去年 11 月,一位分析師估計,生成一個十秒鐘的影片需要花費 OpenAI 1.30 美元。根據他估計 Sora 每天生產 1130 萬個影片,該分析師表示這將使公司每天花費約 1500 萬美元。 僅僅在幾週前,Sora 的負責人 Bill Peebles 承認該平台的經濟效益「完全不可持續」。 據 Business Insider 報導,還有另一個問題,這個問題正在成為整個 AI 產業的棘手限制:運算能力。影片生成是目前使用中最耗能的 AI 形式。 「鑑於整個產業對更多運算能力的瘋狂尋求,OpenAI 正在優先考慮其最大的增長引擎——ChatGPT,」Navica 的 CEO Bernard Golden 表示。 隨著對 AI 運算需求的激增,供應卻跟不上,尤其是在新建數據中心變得越來越困難的情況下,因為當地反對聲音越來越大、電網容量不足以及記憶體晶片等關鍵組件短缺。 AI 泡沫有多泡沫? 即使在矽谷,人們也承認 AI 具備泡沫的所有特徵。AI 股票的交易倍數極高,儘管許多公司並未盈利。OpenAI 目前的市值超過了豐田、可口可樂和迪士尼的總和。 《時代》雜誌將根本問題描述為「投入 AI 開發基礎設施的數萬億美元與人們和公司花費的數十億美元用於使用 AI 之間的不匹配」。僅在今年,亞馬遜、Alphabet、Meta 和微軟這四家科技公司就計劃在 AI 基礎設施上投資 6700 億美元。數據中心的建設規模超過了 19 世紀 50 年代的鐵路擴張。 高槓桿水平是過去幾乎所有重大泡沫的組成部分,AI 也不例外。AI 故事中一個特別債務沉重的方面是數據中心的建設。CoreWeave 等公司已經承擔了驚人的債務水平來為其基礎設施融資,押注 AI 需求將足夠快地增長來償還債務。 還有循環投資的問題。相當一部分 AI 收入是由 AI 公司向其他 AI 公司銷售產生的,這造成了顯著的交易量,但並未代表多少有機增長。事實上,從 AI 的實際最終用戶那裡產生的收入相對較少。這也意味著,如果出現任何問題,風險將高度集中。 為什麼 Sora 可能是終結的開始? 基本問題在於,OpenAI 在未來五年內已承諾投入驚人的 1.15 萬億美元,而其在 2025 年僅賺取了 130 億美元。在約 8 億至 9 億的 ChatGPT 用戶中,只有 5% 實際上付費。OpenAI 沒有太多其他途徑來產生可觀的收入。實際使用的貨幣化已成為一個關鍵問題。 OpenAI 需要找到一種方法來提高收入,而 Sora 似乎是一條有希望的道路。與迪士尼的交易似乎是進入好萊塢的一扇門。但迪士尼已經退出,其他公司也可能如此,尤其是在 AI 的經濟現實——尤其是在運算能力短缺的情況下——開始趕上炒作的時候。 這也發生在針對伊朗的戰爭暴露了 AI 供應鏈的脆弱性之際,尤其因為主導半導體生產的東亞國家遭受了重大的能源衝擊。 如果 OpenAI 陷入困境,整個 AI 產業幾乎肯定會隨之倒下。這可能是這個幾乎單獨支撐美國股市的產業的關鍵時刻。 納斯達克指數已經進入修正區域。該指數實際上正在接近所謂的「死亡交叉」,因為其 50 日移動平均線正在向 200 日移動平均線下降。這個備受推崇的指標表明動能正在喪失,賣壓正在增加。 恐慌性拋售是不可預測的,但歷史表明,一旦開始,它就會自行發展。 本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

五十年前,一位传奇导演主演他的最被忽视的犯罪惊悚片

United Artists(SeaPRwire) - 製作一部優秀犯罪電影的首要挑戰,在於如何讓觀眾關心一個本質上不道德的主角。你可以虛構一個紳士罪犯劫富濟貧的世界(《Ocean’s 11》、《The Thomas Crown Affair》),沉溺於華麗的罪犯間流血衝突(《Pulp Fiction》、《Snatch》),賦予你的英雄一顆隱藏的金子般的心(《Drive》、《Donnie Brasco》),或者只是讓他們看起來比同夥少一點愚蠢和暴戾(《The Departed》、《The Town》)。這往往掩蓋了有組織犯罪的社會病態本質;為了成為一部有效的電影,《Donnie Brasco》不得不將 Al Pacino 飾演的黑幫分子從現實中冷血的暴徒,改寫成一個只能存在於銀幕上的悲劇人物。《Thief》則沒有做出這種妥協。Michael Mann 的首部電影於 45 年前的今天上映,影片以一場漫長、幾乎沒有對白的鑽石劫案介紹了這位明星保險箱大盜,主角及其同夥展現出的臨床效率,會讓你以為這又是一個關於優雅專業人士的故事。但當我們看到 James Caan 飾演的 Frank 在工作之餘的樣子時,我們意識到他根本不是 Danny Ocean。Frank 粗魯、衝動、無知、性別歧視、種族歧視,且固執到危及自身的地步,他之所以成為一名竊賊,是因為很難想像他還能從事其他職業。並非他沒有展現出人性的一面,但這些時刻都被那個佔據了他生活、甚至成為電影標題的職業所吞噬。他想要完成最後一票,然後與 Jessie (Tuesday Weld) 退休享受家庭幸福,但除了無聊之外,很難看出他能從這種安排中得到什麼。Frank 最深刻的洞察力來自於他向 Jessie 描述獄中生活的時候,而他唯一展現出真正同理心的時刻,是他將一位垂死的朋友從監獄中救出,讓他能最後一次看看外面的世界。Frank 自己失去了 20 多歲的青春歲月,只能透過這段經歷來看待生存。結果就是,他成了一個在最令人痛苦和疏離的意義上感到格格不入的人。一旦剝去好萊塢式的浪漫,局外人的生活並不是特別愉快。Frank 認真交往的對象都和他一樣處於社會邊緣。Jessie 有著她自己不那麼情願的犯罪背景。犯罪首腦 Leo (Robert Prosky) 與 Frank 談論家庭的重要性,但當他發出殘酷的威脅來控制 Frank 時,他看起來並不像個顧家的男人。每個人——從勒索 Frank 的赤裸裸腐敗警察,到將他們無法生育而渴望的嬰兒賣給 Frank 和 Jessie 的幕後婦女——除了鏡子裡看到的自己,沒有任何動機。Frank 和 Jessie 談論哲學。 | United Artists所有這些都與雨水浸濕的街道、男人們操作設備時那種近乎色情的漫長鏡頭,以及令人難忘的 Tangerine Dream 配樂形成了鮮明對比,讓你想像 Harrison Ford 就在鏡頭外追捕複製人。Mann 的處女作贏得了相當大的讚譽,原因不難理解。他賦予了 Frank 的工作一種時髦的光澤,然後讓現實將其籠罩。《Thief》鬆散地改編自竊賊 Frank Hohimer 的可疑回憶錄,Hohimer 本人在書中強調了家庭的價值,同時將自己描繪成一個比他遇到的可怕黑手黨人物更優越的粗魯暴徒。《Thief》感覺像是 Mann 更著名的《Heat》的簡化初稿——或者可以說是《Preheat》——它恰如其分地依賴於 Caan 冰冷的表演。也許如果 Frank 在 20 歲時沒有偷那點錢,他的人生會有所不同,或者也許他註定就是這樣的人。他自己沒有多想這件事,所以我們也沒有理由去深究。如果你忘了《Thief》是什麼時候拍的,汽車和霓虹燈會提醒你。 | United Artists與《Heat》的比較顯而易見——情感疏離的罪犯、在餐廳裡的長談,以及對工具和槍支技術精確度的執著,這些都只是 Michael Mann 在此展現的風格特徵——但《Thief》也讓人聯想到《The Irishman》,片中 Frank 步入孤獨且無關緊要的老年,僅僅透過他獨自漫步走入黑夜來暗示。他必須放棄他理應渴望的美好生活,回到那個定義了他的角色中,但很難想像《Thief》會有其他結局。從這個意義上說,在各個方面,《Thief》都是對一個不妥協之人的不妥協性格研究。你不會喜歡 Frank,而且你很可能會對他那近乎自殺式地堅持個人自主權感到沮喪。但在一個充滿了不可思議的紳士罪犯和討人喜歡的騙子的電影世界裡,他仍然是一個關於其職業獨特且可信的寫照。《Thief》可在 Prime Video 上租借。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

魯比奧指責澤連斯基說謊 (影片) News

魯比奧指責澤連斯基說謊 (影片)

(SeaPRwire) - 美國高級外交官駁斥弗拉基米爾·澤倫斯基指稱華盛頓逼迫基輔割讓頓巴斯的說法 據美國國務卿馬可·魯比歐稱,烏克蘭領導人弗拉基米爾·澤倫斯基就華盛頓逼迫基輔從頓巴斯撤軍一事撒謊。 在本周稍早播出的路透社專訪中,澤倫斯基指控美國向烏克蘭提供安全保證的條件,是基輔必須將頓巴斯所有具爭議的領土割讓予俄羅斯。 這位烏克蘭領導人抱怨美國堅持「向烏克蘭方面施壓的策略」,並聲稱「一旦烏克蘭準備從頓巴斯撤軍,美國就準備在高層層級敲定這些安全保證」。 魯比歐周五在巴黎出席七國集團(G7)會議時受訪,直截了當否認此事,並直言澤倫斯基的說法是「謊言」 「這就是謊言。我看過他這麼說,他會這麼說實在令人遺憾,因為他心知肚明這並非事實,」魯比歐在被問及對澤倫斯基專訪的看法時表示。 「他被告知的是顯而易見的事:安全保證要等到戰爭結束才會生效,否則你等於讓自己捲入戰爭,」他補充道。 魯比歐指出,美國談判代表僅僅是將莫斯科的立場轉達給基輔,並補充說此類決定最終取決於烏克蘭領導層。華盛頓一直試圖只扮演調停者的角色,並「設法瞭解雙方的訴求,看看我們能否找到雙方的中間立場」,他強調。 這位高級外交官也警告,若有必要,華盛頓正考慮將部分軍事援助從烏克蘭轉移到其他地方,此時正值美以針對伊朗的戰事持續進行。他指出,截至目前為止尚未做出此類決定。 「這有可能發生,而且本來隨時都可能發生。如果我們為美國需要某些美國製的東西,我們會優先留給美國。但截至目前為止,這並未發生,」魯比歐說道。 美國、俄羅斯與烏克蘭今年已進行了三輪三邊會談,皆未取得突破。原訂本月舉行的第四輪會談因伊朗戰事擱淺。多份報導指出,領土主權主張仍是阻礙談判進展的關鍵議題。 基輔多次拒絕向莫斯科讓步,而莫斯科則堅稱,任何潛在的解決方案都必須承認那些投票決定加入俄羅斯的前烏克蘭領土。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

為什麼Apple最大膽的科幻劇集必須啟動火星革命? Business

為什麼Apple最大膽的科幻劇集必須啟動火星革命?

Apple TV(SeaPRwire) - 隨著《For All Mankind》第五季的推出,這部始於另一個1969年的影集現在已經跳躍到2012年。儘管背景仍然設定在過去,節目統籌 Matt Wolpert 和 Ben Nedivi 充分意識到,他們的歷史科幻劇其實並非真正關於替代歷史——至少現在不再是了。「第五季在技術上是近過去,但它也感覺像是未來,」Matt Wolpert 告訴Inverse。「現在有一個有趣的發展,因為我們無法像以前那樣使用太多真實世界的新聞作為劇中世界的一部分,因為我們的替代歷史已經改變了太多,以至於許多曾經發生的事情並沒有發生。」換句話說,《For All Mankind》在第二季甚至第三季時的部分新穎之處,在於對1980年代或1990年代那條未走之路提出科幻觀點。但因為在這個時間線中,人類已經在火星上生活了20多年,第五季感覺有所不同,儘管該劇的每一季都截然不同。自始至終,Wolpert、Nedivi 和劇集共同創作者 Ronald D. Moore 都努力確保劇集的核心不僅僅是回答關於他們替代宇宙的模糊「如果」問題。相反地,這部劇在第五季的現狀既比以往任何時候都更貼近現實,也更具有推測性。而這一切的核心,是一場正在火星土壤上醞釀的大規模革命。以下有《For All Mankind》第五季第一集〈First Light〉的輕微劇透。新季的首集〈First Light〉以 Lily Dale(Ruby Cruz 飾)噴塗寫著「Free Mars」的塗鴉開場,正是這種情緒點明了第五季最大的衝突:自2000年代初以來一直居住在火星上的人們,不再想受到地球的管制。並且,為了讓這個故事線感覺真實,Wolpert 和 Nedivi 告訴Inverse,他們必須從更久遠的過去尋找靈感。與火星的太空戰爭Ruby Cruz 在《For All Mankind》第五季中飾演 Lily Dale。| Apple TV 「我們主要參考的是美洲殖民地以及它們如何從英國建立後發展起來,」Wolpert 說。「它們發展出了自己的文化,而且彼此之間存在著巨大的空間隔閡。從英國乘船到美國所需的時間,與我們劇中從地球到火星所需的時間相似。這就是我們劇中人物正在經歷的,尤其是在這個地方長大的年輕一代。」因此,《For All Mankind》中的火星革命有點像歷史上的美國革命,這是科幻類型中早已探索過的概念:Babylon 5曾有過「Free Mars」運動,而 Robert A. Heinlein 的《The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress》(嚴厲的月亮)中涉及月球叛亂的某些方面,也與《For All Mankind》有點關聯。「火星上的生活可不容易,」女演員 Ruby Cruz 說道。她所飾演的 Lily 是 Miles Dale(Toby Kebbell 飾)的女兒,Miles 在第四季結尾參與了竊取珍貴小行星的行動,使火星成為太陽系中的重要角色。對 Lily 和 Alex Baldwin(Sean Kauffman 飾)來說,火星是他們唯一真正熟悉的家。這個細節,或許比其他任何事情都更能挑戰本季的演員們:將火星視為外星世界的相反面。「能夠將火星想像成一個美麗的家園星球真的很酷,」Cruz 解釋道。「就像我們欣賞地球的方式——我在這裡發現了如此多的美、精神與自然——這就是 Lily 看待火星的方式。」與下一代的終局Ruby Cruz、Barrett Carnahan、Yael Chanukov 和 Sean Kaufman:火星的孩子們沒問題。還是他們有問題?| Apple TV就像這部劇的所有元素一樣,如果角色不是一切的核心,這些高概念的想法都無法成立。然而,第五季是該劇史上最大膽的一季,因為原始演員陣容所剩無幾,加上第六季將是系列的結局,劇集的最終歸宿顯然將聚焦於在本季中成年的最新一代人。「這是我們在劇集開始時必須做出的魔鬼交易,」Nedivi 說。「我們知道,好吧,要讓這個概念成立,最終的演員陣容將會幾乎完全不同。」雖然我們確實還有幾位第一季的成員——Joel Kinnaman 仍然飾演前Apollo太空人 Ed Baldwin,Wrenn Schmidt 回歸飾演 Margo Madison,而 Krys Marshall 飾演的 Danielle Poole 將在本季稍晚出現——但大多數權力人物要麼是第二季時的年輕人,要麼就是第五季中真正的年輕人。「不,一點壓力都沒有!」Sean Kauffman 開玩笑地談到接演 Alex Baldwin 一角,他是 Kelly 的兒子,Ed 的孫子。「有時候真的很難去想,因為我總是把它放在我自己生活的背景下思考。比如,當我18歲時,你真的了解你的祖父或祖母做了什麼嗎?Alex 並不真正了解他是誰,我認為本季發生的事情尤其關鍵,因為我堅信創造革命總是落在年輕一代的肩上。」祖父與孫子:Ed Baldwin(Joel Kinnaman 飾)和 Alex Baldwin(Sean Kauffman 飾)在《For All Mankind》第五季中。| Apple TV具體說明這場火炬傳遞如何在《For All Mankind》第五季中發生將是一個巨大的劇透。但 Kauffman 確實透露,Kinnaman 幫助他建立了將劇集繼續推進的信心。「本季真的有一個很大的權力交接,」Kauffman 透露。「Joel 真的很棒。我記得有一場戲,我正在談論我的緊張,當時有一個我的特寫鏡頭,他就說:『你可以的。』然後我們拍了那場戲。他看著我,化著老人的妝,看起來像教父一樣,他只是點了點頭,對我豎起大拇指,然後走開了。我得到了他的認可。然後我就想:我們上吧。」For All Mankind 第五季每週五在 Apple TV 上線新集數。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Policymakers Are Moving to Tighten Gaming Rules as NZ Bill Advances to Third Reading iGame

Policymakers Are Moving to Tighten Gaming Rules as NZ Bill Advances to Third Reading

(AsiaGameHub) - During today's reading of New Zealand's new gambling bill, concerns raised by community groups, spearheaded by an opposition MP, regarding comprehensive player safety measures were discussed. Labour politician and party spokesperson, **Lemauga Lydia Sosene**, has emerged as a central advocate for ensuring that community benefits are a significant component of New Zealand's online gambling laws. Sosene and the community organizations she championed secured a victory late last year when the government committed to implementing a compulsory 4% levy on online casino profits, earmarked for public investment, with a future review to consider increasing this rate. The Labour MP now appears to have achieved another success, as her advocacy for robust measures to reduce gambling harm seems to have prompted the New Zealand government to prioritize this aspect in the forthcoming bill, which cleared its penultimate parliamentary stage today. The bill now requires only its third reading approval before receiving Royal Assent, at which point it will be enacted into law and establish the framework for a multi-licence online casino market in New Zealand. Following a review of the current version, which was voted on today, March 27, policymakers have suggested several amendments to strengthen problem gambling regulations before the bill proceeds to another vote. Specifically, clause 39 mandates that operators implement all reasonable measures to minimize the risk of harm from online gambling. The proposed amendment suggests that these measures be directly linked to the procedures outlined in the regulatory framework, thereby preventing any undue confusion. Additional assurances regarding the government's commitment to safeguarding vulnerable populations were recently provided by **Paul James**, Chief Executive Officer of the **New Zealand Department of Internal Affairs**. "We are striving to achieve a balance between effective measures for detecting, preventing, and minimizing harm, while simultaneously ensuring that the regulations are not so stringent as to impede gambling operators' effectiveness, and that New Zealanders feel secure in their decisions to engage with our non-extended gambling options," James stated. "An incorrect balance would lead individuals to resort to the black market, leaving New Zealanders to gamble without any assistance or safeguards," he added. New Zealand is getting ready to issue 15 online gambling licenses by the close of this year, with the **Online Gambling Bill** anticipated to receive Royal Assent and establish the framework for the new market on May 1. Under the proposed schedule, applications for online casino licenses will commence on December 1, with the 15-license market slated to become operational on July 1, 2027. Presently, international gambling firm **Entain** holds an exclusive sports betting license through a franchising agreement with local operator **TAB NZ**. The company has previously indicated its intention to secure three of the 15 available licenses, a move that would provide it with a significant edge in a market abundant with cross-selling prospects.

BoscaSports’ UK acquisition signals confidence in retail and racing betting iGame

BoscaSports’ UK acquisition signals confidence in retail and racing betting

(AsiaGameHub) - Betting technology company BoscaSports has broadened its UK capabilities through an acquisition, finalizing terms to acquire video streaming firm 2DB. The Irish firm is specifically focusing on the retail betting sector, noting that the transaction will further solidify its position as a technology provider to licensed betting offices (LBOs). The financial details of the acquisition, such as the purchase price, remain unconfirmed. Nevertheless, Allied Irish Bank (AIB) is backing the move with a loan facility. BoscaSports claims the deal will double its workforce while enhancing its retail and online capabilities. The Irish Times, however, reported that the merged entity is expected to generate €4m (£3.4m) in revenue. “This acquisition is a transformative move for BoscaSports,” said Eugenee Mitchell, the firm’s Chief Executive Officer. “Combining our capabilities with 2DB’s integrated video streaming and data solutions greatly strengthens our technology infrastructure, our distribution network, and the value we can offer to racecourses, operators, and bettors globally. “We take pride in being an Irish tech success story and are thankful for the support from AIB and RMG as we enter our next growth phase.” Two sectors at a crossroads BoscaSports already has a significant presence in the UK retail betting sector. Key partners of the company include Flutter Entertainment’s Paddy Power, the UK Tote Group, William Hill and Britbet. The company is also a partner to numerous racecourses, with its retail displays used at 86 different tracks across the UK and Ireland. Prominent UK partner tracks include the iconic Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire. “We’re thrilled to announce that 2DB has been acquired by BoyleSports,” said 2DB Managing Director, Steve Boffo. “This is an ideal cultural and strategic fit, and we’re prepared to immediately deliver for our team and customers.” Yet, both British retail betting and horse racing find themselves in a unique and potentially fragile position in 2026. Regarding the former, there have been steady decreases in UK retail betting participation and gross gaming yield over recent years as more individuals shift to online options. For instance, UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) data shows a 2% drop in retail GGY in 2025. There are also ongoing rumors of shop closures, with Paddy Power, one of BoscaSports’ clients, confirming the closure of 257 UK and Irish shops last year. Racing, on the other hand, has faced challenges with fan engagement and attendance for some time, along with the sport’s governing body. As the sport’s finances remain strained, the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) continues to voice dissatisfaction with the government’s choice to maintain the Horseracing Betting Levy at 10%. Nonetheless, retail betting and horse racing received some relief in last year’s government budget. Horse racing was completely excluded from the tax increases announced by Rachel Reeves, Chancellor of the Exchequer, while retail betting will be exempt from the rise in General Betting Duty from 15% to 25% next year. There will certainly be ripple effects from the doubling of online gaming duty to 40%, which has already manifested in the cancellation of racing betting sponsorships, rumors of additional shop closures, and even sales – such as that of William Hill owner evoke. Still, AIB’s support for BoscaSports’ acquisition of a UK betting tech brand might indicate that some analysts perceive a ray of hope for both the British and Irish retail betting market and horse racing sectors. “At AIB, we are proud to back Ireland’s homegrown technology companies as they expand globally,” said Pat Horgan, AIB’s Head of Business Banking – Capital Markets. “Their innovation fuels economic growth, creates high-value jobs, and reinforces Ireland’s status as a top global technology hub. “Bosca Technologies embodies this ambition, showing how cutting-edge innovation, strong strategic partnerships, and a global focus can achieve success on the international stage.” This article is provided by a third-party.

特朗普稱伊朗新任最高領袖「可能是同性戀」 News

特朗普稱伊朗新任最高領袖「可能是同性戀」

(SeaPRwire) - 美國總統此前曾對穆傑塔巴·哈梅內伊發表貶損言論 美國總統唐納德·特朗普表示,CIA告訴他,伊朗新任最高領袖穆傑塔巴·哈梅內伊可能是同性戀者,他在接受Fox News採訪時打趣說,這讓這位宗教領袖「開局不利」。 這項聲稱出現在美以企圖改變伊朗政權失敗之際,而伊朗是一個根據伊斯蘭法規,同性戀行為屬於非法的國家。 特朗普此前也曾對穆傑塔巴·哈梅內伊發表其他貶損言論,將他貶為「輕量級人物」和「不可接受」的領袖。然而,批評者指出,這類言論只會鞏固伊朗民眾對華盛頓的反對意見。 總統最新的侮辱言論發表之際,美國和以色列正持續對伊朗發動無端攻擊,這些攻擊始於上個月底穆傑塔巴的父親、前最高領袖阿里·哈梅內伊被暗殺。美以官員多次呼籲德黑蘭政權更迭,但伊朗政府並未垮台。 根據New York Times周日的報導,特朗普政府在戰爭爆發後幾天內就採納了以色列在伊朗煽動政變的計劃。儘管美國情報機構持懷疑態度,但據報導,特朗普和以色列總理班傑明·內塔尼亞胡押注於「樂觀前景」,認為斬首伊朗領導層將引發民眾起義。 該計劃失敗了,穆傑塔巴·哈梅內伊很快被任命為新任最高領袖。然而,自從在導致其父親死亡的襲擊中受傷後,他一直沒有公開露面。 伊朗外交部長阿巴斯·阿拉克奇否認殺害高級官員會推翻政府的說法。「伊朗伊斯蘭共和國擁有強大的政治結構,具備完善的政治、經濟和社會制度,」他上周告訴Al Jazeera。「單一個人的存在與否不會影響這個結構。」 前Mossad官員拉米·伊格拉也告訴RT,美以斬首伊朗領導層以引發革命的策略是「誤判」,並指出革命需要民眾運動、當地領導層和武裝控制——而這些在伊朗都不存在。 本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Trio Industrial (1710) 2025 Recorded Revenue at approximately HK$775.3 million; Continues to implement Dual‑engine Strategy of Electronic Manufacturing Services and New Energy Businesses

EQS Newswire / 27/03/2026 / 23:12 UTC+8 【For Immediate release】 Trio Industrial Electronics Group Limited (Stock Code: 1710.HK) Announces 2025 Annual Results* * * Recorded Revenue at approximately HK$775.3 million Continues to implement Dual‑engine Strategy of Electronic Manufacturing Services and New Energy Businesses to Build a “Greater Asia New Energy Business Network” (Hong Kong – 27 March 2026) Trio Industrial Electronics Group Limited (“Trio Industrial” or the “Group”; stock code: 1710), a leading manufacturer and distributor of advanced industrial electronic components and products in Hong Kong, today announced the annual results of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) for the year ended 31 December 2025 (the “Year”). During the Year, the overall operating environment remained challenging. Europe and North America continued to be the Group’s major markets, where operating conditions were affected by relatively tight interest rate conditions, ongoing geopolitical tensions and the implementation of the revised tariff policy in the United States. In response, many customers adopted a more prudent procurement approach, focusing on inventory management and adjusting their purchasing strategies, which led to weaker demand during the Year. As a result, the Group’s revenue for the financial year 2025 decreased by approximately 23.1% year‑on‑year to approximately HK$775.3 million. Nevertheless, the Group maintained stringent cost control and optimised its staffing and labour structure, resulting in a decrease in overall administrative expenses compared with last year. Overall, the Group recorded a gross profit of approximately HK$139.6 million for the financial year 2025, representing a decrease of approximately 25.5% compared with the previous year, while gross profit margin decreased by 0.6 percentage points from 18.6% to 18.0%. The Group recorded a loss attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$35.4 million for the Year. The Group maintained a healthy financial position, with cash and cash equivalents (including restricted bank deposits) of approximately HK$140.5 million and a net cash position (cash and cash equivalents less borrowings). The current ratio was approximately 2.7 times, similar to that as at 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024. To navigate the complex and evolving global market environment, Trio Industrial is accelerating the implementation of its joint design manufacturing strategy, deepening cooperation with key customers and enhancing value‑add and profit potential from the product design stage, while strengthening long‑term customer relationships. In line with this direction, the Group is actively recruiting professionals who possess both technical expertise and market insights to enhance its global sales and engineering teams, further expand market coverage and support future business growth. In terms of global manufacturing network, the Group’s Thailand production facility serves as a strategic export base for the United States of America and Southeast Asian markets, providing greater flexibility in addressing geopolitical developments and tariff barriers. The Group’s manufacturing facility in the United Kingdom commenced operation in the second quarter of 2025 to serve local customers in Europe and strengthen supply chain security. The Group is also establishing a new manufacturing facility in the United States of America, which is expected to commence operation in the second half of 2026. With a manufacturing network spanning the PRC, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the upcoming facility in the United States of America, the Group is able to offer global customers diversified regional supply assurance and flexibility in response to geopolitical changes and the reshaping of trade patterns. This network not only enhances supply chain resilience, but also underscores the Group’s competitive advantage of “global manufacturing, local services”. In the new energy sector, while optimising the operations of its electronic manufacturing services business, the Group has continued to expand its business from electric vehicle charging manufacturing and charging station operation to include energy storage and distributed energy applications, thereby building an integrated “charging–storage–energy services” business model and further consolidating its position along the new energy value chain. Leveraging the “Belt and Road” Initiative, the Group has established first‑mover platforms in Central Asia and Southeast Asia and is advancing distributed energy storage and e‑mobility projects with regional demonstration effects, injecting new momentum into its medium‑ to long‑term growth. In Kazakhstan, the Group has partnered with Sinooil (a subsidiary of China National Petroleum Corporation) to deploy electric vehicle charging infrastructure and digital advertising facilities at approximately 140 Sinooil petrol stations across the country, creating a scalable platform for the Group’s integrated energy and media business. The Group has established four EV charging stations in Kazakhstan, one of which adopts a “solar‑storage‑charging” configuration, integrating Deltrix EV charging infrastructure, energy storage systems, digital advertising kiosks and intelligent car‑wash facilities. While providing EV charging services, these sites also create a comprehensive ecosystem that combines energy services, digital advertising, automatic car‑wash facilities and convenience retail. This integrated advertising platform is also designed to support Chinese enterprises in expanding into Central Asia and to strengthen the Group’s presence in the regional outdoor media market. Building on this strategic platform in Central Asia, the Group is also expanding its new energy business in Southeast Asia, with the Philippines as the first market in the region. The Group is rolling out Deltrix‑branded electric motorcycles and battery‑swapping projects, offering an integrated “vehicle–battery–cabinet” solution for e‑mobility, which is a typical distributed energy storage application. At the same time, the Group is developing other distributed energy storage solutions for residential, commercial and industrial applications, further broadening its portfolio of new energy products and services in the region. Mr. Cecil Wong, the Chairman of Trio Industrial Electronics Group Limited said, “Despite the continued challenges in the global economic environment, we remain confident in the long‑term trends of industrial electrification, sustainable energy and intelligent development.

致豐集團 (1710) 公佈2025年全年業績 收益約為7.753億港元 持續推行電子製造服務及新能源業務雙引擎發展策略 建立「大亞洲新能源業務圈」

EQS 新聞 / 2026-03-27 / 23:12 UTC+8 [請即時發布] 致豐工業電子集團有限公司 (股份代號:1710.HK) 公佈2025年全年業績 * * * 收益約為7.753億港元 持續推行電子製造服務及新能源業務雙引擎發展策略 建立「大亞洲新能源業務圈」 (香港 – 2026年 3月 27日) 香港領先的工業電子零件及產品製造及銷售企業 – 致豐工業電子集團有限公司(「致豐集團」或「集團」,股份代號:1710),今日宣佈本公司及其子公司(「本集團」)截至2025年12月31日止年度(「年內」)的全年業績。 年內,整體經營環境仍然充滿挑戰。歐洲及北美仍為本集團的主要市場,而當地的經營環境受到相對緊縮的利率環境、持續的地緣政治緊張局勢以及美國修訂關稅政策實施等因素所影響,不少客戶採取更審慎的採購方法,著重庫存管理並調整採購策略,導致年內需求轉趨疲弱。因此,本集團於2025財政年度的收入較去年下降約23.1%至約為7.753億港元。然而,本集團仍維持嚴格的成本控制,並優化其人員及勞動結構,使整體行政開支較去年有所下降。整體而言,本集團於2025財政年度錄得毛利約1.396億港元,較去年同期減少約25.5%,毛利率由去年的18.6%減少0.6個百分點至18.0%。本集團年內錄得本公司擁有人應佔虧損35.4百萬港元。集團保持穩健的財務狀況,現金及現金等價物(包括受限制銀行存款)約為1.405億港元,維持正淨現金狀況(現金及現金等價物減借款)。流動比率約為 2.7倍,與於2025年6月30日及2024年12月31日相若。 為應對複雜多變的全球市場環境,致豐集團正加速推進聯合設計製造策略,深化與主要客戶的合作,從產品設計端着手提升附加價值與利潤潛力,同時鞏固長期客戶關係。配合此方向,本集團積極引入兼具技術背景與市場洞察力的專業人才,優化全球銷售與工程團隊,進一步拓展市場覆蓋並支持未來業務增長。在全球製造布局方面,泰國生產設施作為出口至美國及東南亞市場的策略性出口基地,為本集團在應對地緣政治發展及關稅壁壘方面提供更大的靈活性。本集團位於英國的製造設施已於2025年第二季度投入運作,為歐洲本地客戶提供服務並加強供應鏈安全。本集團亦正於美國建立新的製造設施,預期將於2026年下半年投入運作。致豐集團已建立覆蓋中國、泰國、英國及即將在美國投產的製造網絡,為全球客戶提供多區域供應保障與彈性,以應對地緣政治變化及貿易格局重塑。該布局不僅增強供應鏈韌性,亦體現本集團「全球製造、本地服務」的競爭優勢。 於新能源領域,在優化電子製造服務業務運營的同時,本集團業務持續拓展,從電動汽車充電與充電設施運營延伸至能源儲存與分佈式能源應用,構建「充電-儲能-能源服務」一體化業務模式,進一步鞏固其於新能源價值鏈的地位。配合「一帶一路」倡議,本集團已於中亞及東南亞市場建立先行平台,並正在推進具區域示範效應的分佈式儲能及電動出行項目,為中長期增長注入新動能。在哈薩克斯坦,本集團已與Sinooil(中國石油天然氣集團)合作,在全國約140個Sinooil加油站部署電動汽車充電基礎設施及數字廣告設施,為本集團能源與媒體綜合業務建立可擴展的平台。本集團已於哈薩克斯坦建立四個電動汽車充電站,其中一個採用「光儲充」配置,整合Deltrix電動汽車充電基礎設施、能源儲存系統、數字廣告亭及智能洗車設施。該等站點在提供電動汽車充電服務的同時,亦構建了一個結合能源服務、數字廣告、自動洗車設施及便利零售的綜合生態系統。該綜合廣告平台亦旨在協助中國企業進軍中亞,同時加強本集團於區域戶外媒體市場的定位。 在中亞建立此策略平台的基礎上,本集團亦正拓展其於東南亞的新能源業務,其中菲律賓為區域擴展的首個市場。本集團正推進Deltrix品牌電動摩托車及換電項目,為電動出行提供「車- 電- 櫃」一體化解決方案。這是典型的分佈式儲能應用解決方案。同時,本集團亦正開發適用於住宅及工商業用途的其他分佈式儲能解決方案,進一步擴展其於該地區的新能源產品及服務組合。 致豐工業電子集團主席黃思齊先生表示:「儘管環球經濟環境仍存挑戰,我們依然堅信產業電氣化、能源可持續化及智能化發展的長期趨勢不變。致豐集團的優勢在於結合電子製造專業與新能源技術,並以多國製造佈局與技術驅動的策略執行力,推動業務持續發展。展望未來三年,我們將聚焦具可持續增長潛力、技術導向及市場需求明確的業務範疇,進一步提升集團的盈利質量與現金流表現。同時,我們將推動人工智能與物聯網的深度融合,構建『集團智能能源大腦』,以數據驅動營運效率與能源管理透明化,最終實現從製造型企業向智能能源生態平台的轉型。我們相信,通過持續優化營運效率及推進「新能源 + 新媒體」的融合發展,致豐集團將在不斷變化的市場環境中鞏固競爭優勢,開拓高附加值、可持續的增長空間,為股東創造長期價值。」 - 完 – 關於致豐工業電子集團有限公司(股份代號:1710.HK) 致豐集團是香港領先的工業電子零件及產品製造商,擁有超過40年的行業經驗,專注於高品質電源產品的生產與銷售,業務涵蓋節能、醫療等關鍵領域。作為香港電子工業供應商中首家榮獲工業4.0成熟度1i級認證的企業,集團以智能化製造與創新技術為核心,為全球客戶提供高效可靠的解決方案,並成為眾多國際知名品牌的長期合作夥伴,客戶群主要遍及歐美市場。 面對全球ESG(環境、社會與治理)趨勢與零碳轉型需求,致豐集團積極佈局可持續能源領域,透過旗下自主品牌Deltrix拓展可再生能源、儲能技術及綠色基礎設施業務。市場版圖延伸至中亞與東南亞,服務範疇包括: 電動車充電解決方案 光伏儲能系統 智能電源管理系統 充電網絡基礎設施 憑藉深厚的技術積累與前瞻性的產業佈局,致豐集團持續推動綠色科技創新,致力成為全球能源轉型中的關鍵參與者,實踐企業永續發展願景。 此新聞稿由金通策略有限公司代致豐工業電子集團有限公司發布。 如有任何查詢,請聯絡: DLK Advisory 金通策略 電郵: pr@dlkadvisory.com 電話: +852 2857 7101 文件: 1710_2025AR_press release_TC_20260327_FINAL 2026-03-27 此財經新聞稿由EQS Group轉載。本公告內容由發行人全權負責。瀏覽原文: http://www.todayir.com/tc/index.php

Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) Proposes HK$780 Million Dividend: HK$6 Billion in Cumulative Payouts Over Eight Years Solidifies Long-Term Value Logic ACN Newswire

Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) Proposes HK$780 Million Dividend: HK$6 Billion in Cumulative Payouts Over Eight Years Solidifies Long-Term Value Logic

HONG KONG, Mar 27, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - In the Hong Kong stock market, the key to consistently winning investor trust lies not just in periodic earnings growth, but in the ability to stably transform operating results into shareholder returns. According to the latest 2025 annual results report disclosed by Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK), the company proposes a dividend of 780 million HKD, corresponding to an average annual market value dividend yield of approximately 5.6%. Looking at the long term, since its strategic transformation in 2018, the company has continuously advanced business transformation and structural optimization, leading to steady improvements in profitability and cash flow quality. It has maintained stable dividends for many consecutive years, with a cumulative dividend scale of approximately 6 billion HKD over eight years, shifting the investment logic from "growth expectations" toward "balancing both growth and returns".It is noteworthy that this dividend does not rely on high leverage or short-term overdrafts; rather, it is a proactive return built on improved balance sheets, enhanced operating quality, and optimized cash flow. As of December 31, 2025, the company's bank balances and cash stood at 3.671 billion HKD, with total borrowings of 979 million HKD. The cash-to-interest-bearing debt coverage ratio is approximately 3.75 times, demonstrating strong dividend sustainability and a significant financial safety margin.Over the past eight years, Shoucheng Holdings has gradually formed a smart infrastructure asset service system centered on parking asset management, industrial space management, REITs investment, and equity investment, constructing a composite model of "operational efficiency + asset management + capital circulation". Mature businesses such as parking and industrial parks continue to provide steady cash flow, serving as the practical foundation for the company's dividends. Meanwhile, REITs investments, the robotics ecosystem, and emerging industry funds further open up space for profit realization and valuation enhancement.Among these, the robotics business is becoming a significant incremental driver of Shoucheng Holdings' long-term value. In recent years, the company has continuously refined its robotics layout around "investment + operations + ecosystem," systematically investing in several leading robotics enterprises. Through scenario integration, channel construction, and industrial services, it has pushed projects from technical verification to commercial implementation. As relevant companies accelerate financing, see valuation increases, or move toward IPOs, the robotics segment is expected to continuously strengthen the company's mid-to-long-term profit release and shareholder return capabilities.Furthermore, in the latest Chairman's Statement, Chairman Zhao Tianyang explicitly expressed "gratitude" to investors and continued to emphasize "creating long-term value for investors". This statement is not merely a declaration of attitude but sends a clear signal: Shoucheng Holdings is placing shareholder returns and long-termism in a more prominent position. For the market, the significance of eight years of continuous dividends has long transcended a simple profit distribution; it serves as a more certain anchor of confidence for long-term capital amidst complex economic cycles.

首程控股(0697.HK)擬派息7.8億港元 八年持續分紅60億港元夯實長期價值邏輯 ACN Newswire

首程控股(0697.HK)擬派息7.8億港元 八年持續分紅60億港元夯實長期價值邏輯

香港, 2026年3月27日 - (亞太商訊) - 在港股市場中,真正能夠持續贏得投資人信任的,不只是階段性的業績增長,更是將經營成果穩定轉化為股東回報的能力 。根據首程控股(0697.HK)最新披露的2025年全年業績報告,公司擬分紅7.8億港元,對應年度平均市值派息率約5.6% 。若將時間拉長,自2018年戰略轉型以來,公司持續推進業務轉型與結構優化,盈利能力與現金流質量不斷提升,已連續多年保持穩定分紅,八年累計分紅規模約60億港元,投資邏輯正從「成長預期」進一步走向「成長與回報並重」 。值得關注的是,這一分紅並非依賴高槓桿或短期透支,而是建立在資產負債表改善、經營質量提升和現金流優化基礎上的主動回報 。截至2025年12月31日,公司銀行結餘及現金為36.71億港元,借款總額為9.79億港元,現金對有息負債覆蓋倍數約為3.75倍,顯示出較強的分紅可持續性和財務安全邊際 。過去八年,首程控股逐步形成以停車資產管理、產業空間管理、REITs投資與股權投資為核心的智能基礎設施資產服務體系,構建起「運營提效+資產管理+資本循環」的複合模式 。停車、園區等成熟業務持續提供穩健現金流,成為公司分紅的現實底盤;REITs投資、機器人生態及新興產業基金,則進一步打開了收益兌現與估值提升空間 。其中,機器人業務正成為首程控股未來長期價值的重要增量 。近年來,公司圍繞「投資+運營+生態」持續完善機器人佈局,系統投資多家頭部機器人企業,並通過場景導入、渠道建設和產業服務,推動項目由技術驗證走向商業落地 。隨著相關企業融資提速、估值提升乃至邁向IPO,機器人板塊有望持續增強公司中長期利潤釋放與股東回報能力 。更值得一提的是,在最新主席報告書中,主席趙天旸明確表達了對投資人的「感恩」,並繼續強調「為投資人創造長期價值」 。這一表述並非簡單態度宣示,更釋放出清晰信號:首程控股正把股東回報與長期主義放在更加重要的位置 。對市場而言,八年持續分紅的意義,也早已超越一次利潤分配本身,而是在複雜週期中,為長期資本提供更具確定性的信心錨點 。 Copyright 2026 亞太商訊.

Gambling.com announces new CEO appointment amid leadership shakeup following record Q4 iGame

Gambling.com announces new CEO appointment amid leadership shakeup following record Q4

(AsiaGameHub) - Gambling.com Group has announced a significant leadership reshuffle, with co-founder and current Chief Operating Officer Kevin McCrystle stepping into the Chief Executive Officer role. McCrystle will succeed fellow co-founder Charles Gillespie, who will transition to the firm’s Executive Chairman position. Slated for mid-May, the transition will conclude Gillespie’s 20-year tenure as CEO— a period during which he guided the company from its 2006 founding to its current status as a publicly traded global business. In that time, Gambling.com has evolved into a technology firm spanning performance marketing and sports data services, operating in more than 20 regulated markets. Michael Quartieri, Lead Independent Director, called Gillespie “one of the longest-serving and most successful CEOs in the history of the online gambling industry”. “Under Charles’ guidance, Gambling.com Group has gone from a mere concept to the first publicly traded online gambling affiliate in the U.S.— now a large, highly profitable global marketing and data services business that has engaged millions of consumers and serves hundreds of online gaming companies,” he said. “As Executive Chairman, Charles’ expertise and direction will still benefit the company— including through his active role in evaluating strategic M&A opportunities and keeping the company at the forefront of the AI revolution. “On behalf of the Board of Directors, we sincerely thank Charles for his 20 years of exceptional service as our first and only CEO, and we look forward to his continued contributions in his role as Executive Chairman.” In his new role as Executive Chairman, Gillespie will stay deeply involved in the company’s strategic direction— including mergers and acquisitions and its ongoing AI focus. McCrystle, who co-founded the company with Gillespie, has served as COO since 2007 and overseen key revenue-driving functions like product, marketing, content, sales and technology. He has also played a pivotal role in the company’s geographic expansion— including building its European operations in Ireland and subsequent growth in the U.S. The board stressed that the leadership change represents continuity rather than a strategic shift, with Quartieri noting Gillespie and McCrystle have worked “in lockstep” since the company’s inception. A new era for Gambling.com The leadership reshuffle comes as Gambling.com enters what it describes as a new growth phase, fueled by the expansion of its sports data services and the increasing role of AI in its operations. In remarks accompanying the announcement, McCrystle highlighted the company’s evolution through multiple stages— from startup to international expansion to public listing— and framed the transition as part of a larger shift toward long-term growth. He explained: “With our fast-growing sports data services business, the ongoing diversification of our marketing business and the power of AI rapidly changing how we operate, it’s clear we are now in a new growth execution phase. “As we continue to implement our strategic initiatives, I am energized to take on the CEO role and lead the entire company with our founder-driven values to best position Gambling.com Group for long-term growth.” The change also comes just weeks after the Nasdaq-listed business released its FY25 results, reporting a year-over-year revenue increase of over 30% to $165.4m (£124.5m). Adjusted EBITDA climbed 19% to $58m, and the business— which now employs hundreds of staff— said it expects 2026 revenues of $170m-$180m, with EBITDA between $50m-$58m. The modest EBITDA growth may have contributed to dampened investor confidence, as Gambling.com’s share price has dropped around 10% since results were released on March 12— falling from $4.35 to $3.93. Despite the leadership shift and stock decline, Gambling.com said its core strategy remains intact, centered on expanding its dual focus on marketing services and sports data. The company operates a portfolio of consumer-facing brands, including Gambling.com, Bookies.com and Casinos.com, alongside data and analytics platforms such as OddsJam, OpticOdds and RotoWire. Leadership remains confident in growth through its brands, and record Q4 revenue of over $35m supports that confidence. On his move from CEO to Executive Chairman, Gillespie added: “I have spent my entire adult life building Gambling.com Group with Kevin, and I look forward to continuing to work closely with him as we enter the next phase of the company’s growth. “As we keep growing our sports data services business, reinvent our marketing business and embrace an AI-driven future, now is the right time to refresh our leadership team and give our most talented leader full reins to drive all parts of the business.” This article is provided by a third-party.

Uni-Bio Science Group Limited Announces 2025 Annual Results

EQS Newswire / 27/03/2026 / 21:31 UTC+8 Record-Breaking Revenue of HK$586.2M and EPS Surged to HK$1.56 Cents Dividends Distributed for Two Consecutive Years Embarks on Innovation-Driven Transformation to Become a Global Pioneer in Regenerative Medicine (27 March 2026 – Hong Kong) A fully integrated biopharmaceutical company – Uni-Bio Science Group Limited (“Uni-Bio Science”, together with its subsidiaries referred to as the “Group”, stock code: 0690.HK), is pleased to announce its annual results for the year ended 31 December 2025 (the “Year”). Key Accomplishments in 2025 During the Year, the Group achieved a spectrum of accomplishments, for both of its marketed products and innovative biologics. The key highlights include: During the Year, the Group delivered record-breaking financial results, with revenue recorded a 6.0% year-on-year (“YoY”) increase, reaching approximately HK$586.2 million. Profit for the year soared by 12.7% YoY to approximately HK$93.3 million, and net profit margin increased by 1.0 percentage points YoY to 15.9%, marking a historic high. The earnings per share reached approximately HK$1.56 cents, reflecting a growth of 15.5% YoY or a CAGR of 18.55% from 2023 to 2025. The Group generated solid cash from operations in the Year, operating cash flow and free cash flow increased by 32.7% and 27.3% YoY, respectively. Cash ratio increased from 0.53 times at the end of 2024 to 1.63 times at the end of 2025. The cash conversion cycle improved from 124 days to 107 days, highlighting greater operating efficiency. Backed by sustainable earnings and a healthy cash flow, the board of directors (“Board”) has declared a dividend payment for 2025 of HK$0.313 cents per share. Since its official launch in March 2024, Bogutai® has sustained strong growth momentum, driven by a solid commercialization strategy and successful academic engagement. In 2025, Bogutai® demonstrated rapid market adoption in China, achieving a remarkable year-on-year revenue growth of 111.0%. In May 2025, the Group’s second ophthalmology product, 金因康® (Diquafosol Sodium Eye Drops), received marketing approval from the China National Medical Products Administration (“NMPA”), marking a significant milestone in expanding the Group’s ophthalmic portfolio following GeneSoft®. The Group is actively preparing its launch and marketing strategy. In addition to leveraging synergy with GeneSoft® and its established online and offline distribution network for rapid market penetration, 金因康® will specifically target the mid-to-high-end segment of dry eye patients outside the hospital setting, those who prioritize long-term efficacy and premium product quality. In June 2025, the Group officially launched the high-end series GeneQueens® of 肌顏態® and the medical device brand 金因敷®, marking two key milestones in its strategic expansion into the integrated“Drug, Medical Device, and Aesthetics”field. These product launches reflect the Group’s commitment to enhancing its skin health product matrix and addressing evolving consumer needs for efficacy-driven, medical-grade skincare in both functional skincare and post-aesthetic recovery. In July 2025, the marketing application of Isavuconazonium sulfate capsules were officially accepted by the NMPA. Isavuconazonium sulfate capsules are expected to be approved for launch as early as the fourth quarter of 2026, offering a safer, more effective, and high-quality treatment option for patients suffering from invasive fungal infections. In 2025, the Group established a strategic partnership with Wenzhou Medical University to explore a thermosensitive gel formulation combining EGF and bFGF, leveraging the university’s proven expertise in bFGF production. As a key growth factor in regenerative medicine, bFGF is highly effective in promoting granulation and angiogenesis. Towards the end of 2025, the Group repositioned its long-term strategy from “Stable Growth” to “Innovation-Driven,” signifying a bold transformation from an integrated pharmaceutical company into a global pioneer in regenerative medicine. The Group is advancing a transformative R&D strategy spanning four key areas: muscular-skeletal regeneration, skin regeneration, ocular regeneration, and ENT regeneration. Annual Results For 2025, the Group recorded a revenue of approximately HK$586.2 million, representing an increase of 6.0% YoY. Revenue from Bogutai® increased from approximately HK$ $63.5 million to approximately HK$ 134.0 million, representing a significant increase of 111.0%. Revenue generated from GeneTime® was approximately HK$220.4 million, representing an increase of 10.9% YoY. GeneSoft® recorded a 7.9% YoY decrease in revenue from approximately HK$41.9 million to approximately HK$38.6 million due to intense market competition. Pinup® recorded a decrease of 29.4% in revenue from approximately HK$244.2 million to approximately HK$172.5 million for the Year. In 2025, the Group adopted a more disciplined and selective hospital-supply strategy under volume-based procurement (VBP) to safeguard margins, particularly in regions where policy adjustments intensified price competition. At the same time, the Group accelerated diversification into pharmacy networks beyond traditional hospital channels and optimized its supply chain to improve cost and profitability. In 2024, Boshutai® was successfully included in the VBP by the Henan Seventeen Provinces Alliance and the procurement validity period is set for two years. Hospitals in many provinces began procuring Boshutai® in 2025. Following the destocking and a low base in 2024, revenue from Boshutai® increased from approximately HK$10.2 million to approximately HK$15.5 million, representing a significant increase of 51.9%. 肌顏態® generated approximately HK$2.8 million in revenue in its early stage. The limited revenue scale reflected several factors, including a relatively small number of products approved and launched during the Year, and the fact that specialized marketing and distribution teams were still being built and optimized. Gross profit was approximately HK$487.6 million, representing an increase of 5.7% as compared with approximately HK$461.1 million in 2024, and gross profit margin increased by 0.2 percentage points YoY to 83.2%. The Group delivered another year of record-breaking profit, achieving approximately HK$93.3 million for the Year, representing an increase of 12.7% YoY. Net profit margin increased by 1.0 percentage points YoY to 15.9%. These results demonstrate the Group’s success in converting product innovation into market value through strong commercialization execution and financial discipline. The earnings per share reached approximately HK$1.56 cents, reflecting a growth of 15.5% YoY. Prospects Regenerative medicine has emerged as a rapidly developing field, focused on repairing, replacing, or regenerating damaged tissues or organs using cells, tissues, or genetic material. The sector has the potential to treat and address the underlying causes of chronic and advanced diseases. The global regenerative medicine market was approximately USD51.7 billion in 2025. It is projected to grow from USD63.0 billion in 2026 to USD555.6 billion by 2034, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31.3%. The increasing prevalence of chronic and hereditary diseases, together with rising healthcare expenditure in both developed and emerging markets, is expected to support continued growth in the regenerative medicine industry. Mr. Kingsley Leung, Chairman of Uni-Bio Science, commented, “In 2025, we are proud to have delivered another year of record profitability, marking a significant milestone in our growth journey. During the year, we entered a new phase of strategic development. In anticipation of an increasingly favorable market environment, we advanced our strategic transition from ‘stable growth’ to ‘innovation-driven’ development, with a clear focus on four diversified therapeutic areas: musculoskeletal regeneration, skin regeneration, ocular regeneration, and ENT regeneration. With multiple products progressing through our pipeline and accelerating toward commercialization, the Group has continued to broaden its marketing channels. In addition to strengthening our established offline hospital networks, deepening partnerships with local distributors, and hosting academic conferences, we have actively expanded into online e-commerce platforms to enhance product accessibility and extend our market reach. Our ambitions extend well beyond China. During the year, we formed a strategic partnership with Kexing Biopharm to accelerate the global expansion of Bogutai®. Through this collaboration, we have granted Kexing Biopharm exclusive commercialization rights for Bogutai® in six international markets—Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Morocco, Colombia, Argentina, and Mexico—laying a solid foundation for global growth. We expect these markets to begin contributing revenue as early as the end of 2026. At the same time, we are advancing the FDA approval process for Bogutai® in the United States, aiming for approval as early as 2027. In December, we also entered into a strategic collaboration with Wenzhou Medical University and the People’s Government of Ouhai District, Wenzhou, to foster a synergistic ‘government–university–enterprise’ model, further strengthening our capabilities in regenerative medicine. Supported by strong partnerships with local governments and leading academic institutions, we are well positioned to build a world-class biomedical ecosystem and enhance our end-to-end innovation capabilities.” About Uni-Bio Science Group Limited Uni-Bio Science Group Limited is an innovative biopharmaceutical enterprise listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited in 2001 (Stock Code: 00690.HK).
