HONG KONG, Aug 30, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) TIME Interconnect Technology Limited (“TIME Interconnect”, Stock Code: 1729.HK, with its subsidiaries collectively referred to as the “Group”) is pleased to announce its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2024 (the “Current Interim Period”).During the Current Interim Period, the pace of economic expansion has been slow, owing to the factors, such as still-high borrowing costs and withdrawal of fiscal support, and the increasing geo-economic fragmentation and geo-politic tension. In spite of these challenges and difficulties, the Group strives to improve its business operations and financial position by proactively seeking potential investment opportunities that would diversify the Group's existing business portfolio, broaden its source of income and enhance value to the shareholders of the company. Benefiting from the AI boom, the revenue of data centre sector and specialty cable sector have significantly increased by 16.6% and 93.6% respectively during the Current Interim Period and the profitability was relatively improved. In addition, the Group paid more attention and efforts in the medical equipment cables business, and with the setup of two new plants, the revenue of medical equipment sector has also significantly increased by 166.0%. At the same time, the Group has completed its investment in two medical and healthcare-related companies in July 2024. The overall profitability of cables and wires has also improved due to these sectors are carrying a better margin. Meanwhile, overseas orders for networking cable sector continued to improve.

Operating profit for the Current Interim Period was HK$309.2 million, represented an increase of HK$74.1 million or 31.5%, as compared with HK$235.1 million for the Previous Interim Period, with the operating profit margin raised from 9.0% to 11.6% for the Current Interim Period. The increase of operating profit was mainly attributable to changes of product mix, higher revenue from medical equipment, data centre and specialty cable sectors with all three market sectors having better profit margin; and lower revenue and profit margin from the server sector.For the Current Interim Period, basic earnings per share was HK10.4 cents, which is 33.3% higher than the basic earnings per share of HK7.8 cents in the Previous Interim Period. The Board Directors of the company is pleased to declare an interim dividend of HK1 cent per share, amounting to a total of approximately HK$19.5 million.Business ReviewThe Group’s turnover by market sector is as follows:Market SectorTurnover (HK$ million)Share of TurnoverSix months ended 30 June 2024Six months ended 30 September 2023ChangesSix months ended 30 June 2024Six months ended 30 September 2023Cable assembly Data centre564.4484.116.6%21.2%18.4% Telecommunication286.5348.6-17.8%10.7%13.3% Medical equipment386.0145.1166.0%14.5%5.5% Industrial equipment21.312.866.4%0.8%0.5% Automotive68.469.5-1.6%2.6%2.7%Digital cable Networking cable614.7491.225.1%23.0%18.7% Specialty cable111.557.693.6%4.2%2.2%Server613.31,017.8-39.7%23.0%38.7%Total2,666.12,626.71.5%100%100%Data centre sectorThe emergence of Al drove the growth and development of the Group's data centre business. During the Current Interim Period, the revenue of data centre sector increased by HK$80.3 million or 16.6% to HK$564.4 million as compared to HK$484.1 million for the Previous Interim Period due to the upgrading of servers and the profitability was relatively improved. Orders from this sector maintained at a high shipment level during the Current Interim Period, and remained the highest revenue sector in the cable assembly business.Telecommunication sectorIt recorded a decrease of revenue from HK$348.6 million for the Previous Interim Period to HK$286.5 million for the Current Interim Period, represented a decrease of HK$62.1 million or 17.8%. The main customers of telecommunication sector are located in PRC, and the main reason for the decline in revenue was the impact of the Lunar New year holidays during the Current Interim Period as compared to the Previous Interim Period.Medical equipment sectorDuring the Current Interim Period, the Group paid more attention and efforts in the medical equipment cables business and continued to enhance its medical equipment customers base, as well as to strengthen its R& D capabilities during the Current Interim Period. Benefited from the setup of two new plants, Time Kunshan and Time Jiangxi, last year and expanded production capacity and R&D capabilities for medical equipment cables products, the revenue of medical equipment sector has significantly increased to HK$386.0 million, represented an increase of HK$240.9 million or 166.0% as compared with HK$145.1 million for the Previous Interim Period.Industrial equipment sectorThe global economy recovered but the pace was slower than expected. The divergences between countries have maintained. High interest rates directly raised the cost of borrowing and constraining economic activity. However, there was slight improvement in the industrial equipment sector. The revenue of industrial equipment sector increased by 66.4% from HK$12.8 million for the Previous Interim Period to HK$21.3 million for the Current Interim Period.Automotive sectorThe revenue of automotive sector was HK$68.4 million for the Current Interim Period, compared with the revenue for the Previous Interim Period of HK$69.5 million, represented a slight decrease of 1.6%. Affected by geopolitics and trading war, the sales orders of automotive wire harness products maintained a lower level during the Current Interim Period. But the Group still believes that the automotive wiring products can help the Group to provide its customers with a broader product portfolio. To capture opportunities brought by the booming electric vehicle market, the Group’s new wholly-owned subsidiary, Linkz Cables Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. ("Linkz Mexico"), has been setup in Mexico to increase its market share in markets outside China and Asia.Networking cable sectorEven a lot of negative factors, such as the divergences between countries, wars, high interest rates, strong US dollar and high inflation, were remained exist, overseas orders for networking cable sector continued to improve. The revenue of networking cable for the Current Interim Period was HK$614.7 million, represented an increase of HK$123.5 million or 25.1% as compared with HK$491.2 million for the Previous Interim Period. The rise in copper price indicated that market demand is continuing to improve. The establishment of Linkz Mexico also helps to increase its market share in the U.S. and Mexico markets.Specialty cable sectorSame as data centre sector, Al also stimulated the growth and development of high-speed cables in the specialty cable sector. For the Current Interim Period, the revenue of specialty cable was HK$111.5 million, represented a significant increase of HK$53.9 million or 93.6% as compared with HK$57.6 million for the Previous Interim Period. High-speed cables also carried a better profit margin which benefited to the Group's overall profitability.Server sectorFor the Current Interim Period, the revenue of server was HK$613.3 million, represented a decrease of HK$404.5 million or 39.7% as compared with HK$1,017.8 million for the Previous Interim Period. After a peak of new products shipments at the end of last year, there was a shortage of key components supply this year, resulting in some orders need to be rescheduled.ProspectLooking ahead, on the downside, geopolitical tensions and high interest rates continue to dampen global economic activities. According to the latest forecast of the "World Economic Outlook" issued by the "International Monetary Fund" in 2024, global growth estimated at 3.2 percent in 2023, is projected to continue at the same pace in 2024 and 2025. The latest forecast for global growth five years from now at 3.1 percent is at its lowest in decades. On the upside, inflation could fall faster than expected amid further gains in labor force participation, allowing central banks to bring easing plans forward. Artificial intelligence and stronger structural reforms than anticipated could spur productivity. However, even the Group is facing such challenges and difficulties in the macro-economic environment, the management remains confident in its future business. With the support of Luxshare Group, the Group enjoys advantages in both product manufacturing capabilities and financial strength. The Group will continue to develop strategic businesses and markets, strengthen its business foundation and achieve impressive results during the economic downturn.The Group believes that the PRC’s continued acceleration of 5G technology research and development, as well as the new social normals caused by the epidemic, including work-from-home and online meetings, are expected to drive the demand of cable assembly products and telecommunication sector and benefit the Group’s business growth. In light of this, the management remains confident in 5G-related business.On the other hand, considering the vigorous development of the automotive and electric vehicle markets, the Group believes that the automotive wire harness products can help the Group to provide its customers with a broader product portfolio, and to step in new business sector by enriching the Group's business portfolio and broadening its unique customer base, helping the Group to capture opportunities brought by the booming electric vehicle market. In view of these, the Group has setup a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Linkz Mexico in Mexico to increase its market share in markets outside China and Asia. A new plant is expected to be put into production in the second half of 2024. The new factory will produce digital cables and automotive wire harness products. This is a "China-Plus-One" strategy, which can protect supply chains and export markets against geopolitical tensions and unforeseen disruptions and enable the Group to capture market opportunities upon the arrival of this generation 5G network.Moreover, the utilisation rate of cloud technology in the companies around the world is continuously increasing, which is expected to drive the development of data centre. Meanwhile, the development of 5G will boost the application of big data, IoT, internet gaming and video streaming through cloud platform. To capture the huge market demand, the Group extended its business to server sector, the products offered by the Group under this business are mainly applied in data centres. Having considered that (i) China is actively conducting investment activities to build digital infrastructure; (ii) the PRC manufacturers continue to increase the share of local supply chain due to geopolitics relationship; and (iii) Luxshare Precision has extensive technological knowhow and good customers’ relationships, the Group is optimistic on the potential demand in the market. Meanwhile, the emergence of Al drove the growth and development of the Group's server and data centre sector business. However, geo-economic fragmentation continues to intensify, barriers to the flow of goods, capital and people continue to increase, and supply chain problems continue to arise. All of these have created challenges on the business operations of the Group. The Group will work very hard to find any business solutions to cope with the current economic environment as well as the complex geopolitical relationship around the globe, and continue to expand and consolidate the development of server business.As for the medical equipment sector, the Group expects the demand for medical equipment cables will continue to bring positive impact to the Group’s medical equipment cables orders this year. To catch up with the trend, the Group has established two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Time Kunshan and Time Jiangxi, to expand production capacity and R&D capabilities for medical equipment cables products.Moreover, the Group completed the investment in two medical and health related companies in July 2024. One is Cosmic M.E. Inc. (“CME”), which has become a subsidiary of the Company following its share subscription. With a proven operating history of over 30 years, CME is engaged in the developing, manufacturing and selling of electronic medical instruments and other medical equipment and devices. The Group believes that the subscription will allow it to leverage on CME's extensive knowhow and existing production facilities to immediately deliver reliable and high quality medical products to its existing and new customers. It will certainly bring synergy to both parties for the development of medical related products in terms of R&D, manufacturing capabilities and global market expansion. Another one is Valkyrie Industries Limited ("Valkyrie"), the company entitled shareholding 16.75% by share subscription. Valkyrie is a UK based startup with 7 years' long professional experience in haptics and virtual reality. It has developed haptic technology with patents, which can create weight, resistance and assistive forces for users in virtual simulations. It combines fitness, wellness and gaming for optimising human performance for the huge markets of games and neuromuscular recovery. The Group considered that the Valkyrie's technology will be a good opportunity for the Group to extend its product mix offered to the existing major customer and also tap into the new business sector so as to diversify the Group's business portfolio and broaden its income stream with distinct customer base. Besides, a new liaison office, Time Interconnect America Inc., has been established in San Diego since July 2024 to seize more business opportunities in medical-related markets. Moving ahead, the Group believes that this sector will maintain its dynamic pace of growth, considering the arising demand from the medical equipment market. The Group will pay more attention and efforts in this sector and continue to enhance its medical equipment customers base, as well as to strengthen its R&D capabilities.Riding on the PRC government's policy of "Channelling Computing Resources from the Eastern Areas to the Western Regions", Luxshare Precision will deploy the platform advantages and market position of the Luxshare Group and introduce strategic resources to the Company with intention to further strengthen the Company's potential for continuous growth and core competitiveness in its market and to enable the Company to develop strategically to become an all-rounded network solutions and infrastructure provider, so as to create greater value for the shareholders. In this regard, Luxshare Precision is conducting a strategic review of the operations and financial position of the Company, and actively exploring business opportunities for the growth and development, in both organic and inorganic manners, for the Company. The Company believes that, with the support of Luxshare Precision, the Group will create more and more possibilities in the future.– End –About TIME Interconnect Technology LimitedTIME Interconnect Technology Limited is a well-established supplier of customised interconnect solutions with over 30 years’ experience in the industry.

Anson Resources Achieves Key Permitting MilestoneHighlights:Anson has been granted an Underground Injection Control (UIC) application for Class V wells to dispose of the processed brine at its Green River Lithium Project,The Utah Department of Environmental Quality has granted the application after a public comment consideration,The disposal wells will be located on Blackstone Minerals purchased private property,Application is based on production of 10,000 Li2CO3 tons/annum,Application applies for the development of 4 disposal wells,Conditions for Class V disposal wells include:Brine must be returned to the same Formation it was extracted from, not necessarily from the same horizon as extraction (resulting in no dilution),Volume and geochemistry of disposed brine must be like that of extracted brine,These requirements are met using the Direct Lithium Extraction.NEWPORT BEACH, CA, Aug 30, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Anson Resources Limited (ASX:ASN) (Anson or the Company) through its 100% owned subsidiary Blackstone Mineral NV LLC is pleased to announce that its Underground Injection Control (UIC) application has been approved by the Utah Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Water Quality for its Green River Lithium Project (Project), in the Paradox Basin in south-eastern Utah, USA. The Division of Water Quality has granted the application after its review and consideration of public comments. This UIC application will enable Blackstone to re-inject the spent brine from its Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) processing plant back into subsurface formations.Anson is planning to drill new disposal wells, at the time of construction of the production plant, for the injection and disposal of the spent brine from its lithium extraction process as part of the development of the project into production. Several historical plugged and abandoned oil and gas wells are in the area and intersected similar brine reservoirs and confirmed the existence of horizons that had been encountered in the Green River area which can be used as the disposal zones. Some of these wells have already been converted into disposal wells which indicates the ability for those horizons to absorb the waste brine.The disposal wells will be located on the private property recently purchased by Blackstone, see ASX Announcement 13 September 2023. When the lithium processing plant has reached its optimal production rate there will be four disposal wells in operation which have been included in the one application, see Figure 1.The spent brine will be pumped via the injection wells into the Paradox Reservoirs, at shallower horizons into the most permeable rock formations reducing the required pumping pressure.Archaeological, environmental and site surveys have been conducted over the proposed areas and these reports have already been submitted to the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining (UDOGM) as part of the drilling application. These surveys, which showed no issues with the already disturbed site, were carried out over the proposed production site, extraction and disposal well locations and surrounding areas. Access to these sites will be via county roads that exit the I70 interstate and already developed roads in existence in the Blackstone property resulting in minimal disturbance.The UIC application was a detailed report and included:Maps of the Area of Review (AOR) - 2-mile radius surrounding the proposed disposal wells,Maps and cross sections of underground sources of drinking water (USDW),Maps and cross sections of local geologic lithology, structures, and hydrologic settings,Injection well construction plan and operational plan,Corrective action plan,Monitoring, recording and reporting plans,Plugging and abandonment,Financial Responsibility (reclamation).Anson's research into the surrounding historic wells has shown that test-work, such as core sampling and flow testing, has been carried out on some of the wells which was suitable for use in providing additional information for the application. Drill Stem Tests were also carried out through some of these intervals which provides information such as porosity and permeability which will assist in the determination of the horizons to be used for disposal.Executive Chairman and CEO Bruce Richardson commented, "This approval from the Government of the State of Utah demonstrates that Anson can continue to progress the project at Green River by following the regulatory process. Progress in the past 12 months at Green River has been much faster than that of the Paradox due to the ownership of the surface area and the support from the local and state government departments and representatives for which we are extremely grateful. The reinjection of the brine back into the geological formation from which it is originally extracted protects other minerals contained in the brine for future use. The Company continues to engage with the local community to ensure that the best options for the development of the project into production are selected. We look forward to an open dialogue with the community and government as the remaining permits are considered as we move closer to production."Positive ESG AspectsThe drill program is designed to have as little impact on the environment, social and recreational activities as possible within the drill location areas which is further increased by carrying out the program on private property. There will be minimal new ground disturbance as the drill pads will be located on flat ground in areas that have already been disturbed.The use of areas where there has already been ground disturbance is consistent with Anson's aim of developing a sustainable project and minimizing environmental impact.Conservation of Water AquifersThe exploration drilling program has been designed to ensure that there is no interaction between the surface waters and the supersaturated lithium brines with the well-being steel cased and cemented in place.The majority of the water-yielding rock units in the area are part of either an upper or lower hydrologic system. The two systems are separated by the impermeable salt beds of the Pennsylvanian Paradox Formation, which underlies the counties in the region (Weir, Maxwell & Zimmerman, 1983) which is further supported by the salinity values intersected in this "surface" drilling recently completed by Anson.Contact Info:William MazeHead of Investor Relationsinvestors@ansonresources.comSOURCE: Anson Resources Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
