Transmit Entertainment Turns Around to Profit in 1H FY18/19; Revenue More Than Doubled to HK$395.3 Million

Transmit Entertainment Turns Around to Profit in 1H FY18/19; Revenue More Than Doubled to HK$395.3 Million
HONG KONG, Feb 27, 2019 - (ACN Newswire) - Transmit Entertainment Limited ("Transmit Entertainment" or the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group"; stock code: 1326) today announced its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2018 (the "Review Period").

During the Review Period, the Group recorded outstanding results, with revenue up by 211.8% to HK$395.3 million when compared with the last corresponding period. Attributable to the profit contributed by Khorgas Houhai Culture Media Company Limited ("Houhai Culture") as well as the revenue growth generated from the production and distribution of the film "L Storm", the Group turned around to profit with total comprehensive income attributable to owners of the Company amounting to approximately HK$46.5 million. Gross profit was approximately HK$174.6 million, representing an increase of 125.7% and gross profit margin was approximately 44.2%. As at 31 December 2018, the Group was in a sound financial position with bank balances and cash and pledged bank deposits of approximately HK$113.4 million.

Business ReviewFilm and TV Series Production and DistributionDuring the Review Period, film and TV series production and distribution business remained the core business of the Group with reported revenue of approximately HK$268.5 million, representing a significant increase of approximately 743.3% compared with the last corresponding period. The Group released two films during the Review Period, namely "L Storm" and "Lucid Dreams". In August 2018, the Group completed the acquisition of Houhai Culture and consolidated its accounts for the first time. Houhai Culture recorded revenue from the broadcast of the variety show "Give Me Five Season II" and the copyright and adaptation of the manga "Hikaru no Go", thereby contributed to the overall performance of the Group.

Film ExhibitionFilm exhibition was another key revenue driver for the Group. During the Review Period, the Group operated five cinemas at different strategic locations in Hong Kong, including Mong Kok, Chai Wan, Causeway Bay and Tsuen Wan. Benefiting from the five cinemas in full operation, the film exhibition business segment recorded revenue amounted to approximately HK$119.7 million, a significant increase of 30.8% compared with the corresponding period of last year.

Given the unproven profitability and uncertain financial contributions and prospects of the Group's cinema in "Vivo City" in Shanghai, Mainland China, the Group completed disposal of the business in July 2018. The net proceeds of HK$17.7 million from the disposal will be used to further invest in other business segments as part of the resource reallocation of the Group.

OthersDuring the Review Period, the post-production, advertising, marketing and publication businesses of the Group recorded a total revenue of approximately HK$7.0 million, representing a significant increase of approximately 106.5% against the last corresponding period. The Group will continue to maintain the smaller operation of this business segment and timely review its overall business structure and strategies to ensure a synergy effect is created on the Group's businesses.

ProspectsIn 2019, the Group has stepped up effort to develop its artiste and scriptwriters resources and formal contracts have been signed with various artiste agencies and two famous scriptwriters, namely Shu Huan and Su Biao. In particular, various artiste agencies together with top artistes, including Yang Yang, Song Qian, Wu Chun, Meng Ziyi, Liu Yichang, Li Yitong, Zhao Lusi, Li Zefeng and Ling Meishi have joined the Group. Meanwhile, agencies of Kan Qingzi, Zhao Da, Shi Shi, Zhang Xiaoqian, Wang Yi, Oscar Jiang, Re Yina, Wu Yue, Chen Jiaxin, Ma Mengjia, Liang Siyu, Xu Kexin, You Lixi, Dai Yu Dan and Wang Jingyi will also sign contracts with the Group. The all-round artiste and scriptwriting teams will provide the greatest support to the Group in producing high quality TV series and contribute to its rich pipeline of copyright projects in the future.

Transmit Entertainment is committed to producing quality films and television productions for audience. Regarding the film and TV series production and distribution, a number of copyright projects of the Group are in pre-production stage, including "Hikaru no Go", "Romance of the Youth", "Redemption on the Blade", "Tribes and Empires: Mrs. Hu Zhu" and "Persuader". Moreover, the Group has reached agreements with some owners of popular copyrights and will develop and produce copyrighted series of works including "Unnatural", "Love Destiny", "Imperial Harem", "Next To The Last Girlfriend", "Turn Red into Green", "Nine Knights in Beijing", "Hear" and "Romance in the City", etc. As for variety shows, the Group intends to broadcast "I Love You, Me Too", a proprietary brand-new romance detective reality show, on the online platform iQIYI and to continue to launch the third season of "Give Me Five", a proprietary variety brand with two seasons broadcasted, while a new gaming variety show "National Game Carnivals" is now being developed.

Ms Zhao Wenzhu, President and Executive Director of Transmit Entertainment, said, "We are pleased to achieve such satisfactory results and turned around to profit in the first half of the fiscal year, proving that we are taking our business in the right direction. We will continue to explore all kinds of opportunities including for cooperation across the entire film, television and media industry, chain in the country, capitalizing on the Group's outstanding film production capabilities, with the aim of strengthening the Group's income base. Going forward, leveraging the partnerships forged with famous artistes and their agencies, the Group will gradually expand its artiste agency business, continue to identify high-quality artistes and simultaneously launch co-branding partnerships, Internet and Pan-entertainment products and poverty alleviation and charitable products. The Group will work hard on diversifying its operation, enhancing its profitability and generating satisfactory returns for shareholders."
