AMTD Group Inc. ("AMTD Group"), the controlling shareholder of AMTD IDEA Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMTD#NYSE">AMTD</a>, SGX: HKB)))) ("AMTD IDEA") and AMTD Digital Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HKD#NYSE">HKD</a>) ("AMTD Digital") today announced the introduction and adoption of an innovative system through which the CEOs of all of its operating companies and key subsidiaries, including AMTD IDEA and AMTD Digital, will be appointed by the Executive Management Committee ("EMC") of the applicable entities on a rotational basis. This philosophy of shared leadership is reflected in the new feature which forms the core foundation of the rotating CEO mechanism. Under the new rotation program, no single individual would be appointed as the sole leader of an entity for an extended period, and a campaign of "everyone can be a hero" will be rolled out across the group to encourage and promote the next leaders of the companies. Through this rotation program, AMTD Group will maximize the values from the collective wisdom and stepped-up efforts to groom and nurture the next-level leaders.
By rotating the CEOs every six months, the group will be led by different personalities, which will create a much more diverse workplace where different common principles and perspectives will be consistently communicated and implemented. Due to the shared decision-making process and the grooming process to cultivate the next-level leadership, the long-term and sustainable interest of AMTD will be best served. Shared Values as the core mission of AMTD and key shareholders' beliefs and practices will be implemented through the new structure and organization leadership.
Dr. Feridun Hamdullahpur, the independent chairman of AMTD IDEA commented "The entire AMTD organization is built upon innovative thinking. We don't just talk about it; we practise it all the time. We have evolved and matured by understanding the changing world a bit better and defying the status quo. The rotating CEO program is born out of such thinking, and I believe will bring renewed energy and inspiration for the long-term sustainability and growth of the group. We would not be where we are without their great work, dedication, and commitment. We will continue counting on the new leadership program to move us steadily forward and grow our impact gradually and concretely over time."

Highlights of 2023 Half Year Financial Results
<ul>
<li>During the six months ended June 30, 2023, despite the global economic slowdown and rising geopolitical uncertainties, leading to volatile world markets overall, the Company demonstrated strong resilience and achieved solid financial performance. Our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by 8.6% as compared to the same period in the previous year, from US$117.8 million to US$128.0 million.</li>
<li>The revenue generated from digital media, entertainment and cultural connector services surged to US$23.5 million, which represented 2.9 times the comparative figure year on year, as a result of the successful operations and expansions of L'Officiel since the Company's acquisition in the first half of 2022. This reaffirms the strategic decision of the management to diversify our income sources since last year by identifying various merger and acquisition opportunities.</li>
<li>The finance costs for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by 1,024.5% as compared to the same period in prior year, reaching US$3.6 million. The increase was mainly attributable to the global interest rate hike and the rise in the average balance of bank borrowings, which were successfully secured during the pandemic times to optimise the Company's earning capabilities and support the continuous growth of the Company.</li>
<li>The profit for the six months ended June 30, 2023 has maintained a steady growth of 3.3% as compared to the same period in the prior year, increasing from US$102.3 million to US$105.7 million.</li>
<li>The net assets as of June 30, 2023 increased by 47.4% to US$1.5 billion when compared with December 31, 2022, following the successful completion of the acquisition of AMTD Assets Group ("AMTD Assets"), who holds a global portfolio of premium real estate assets during the period. After the acquisition, the hotel operations, hospitality and VIP services income of US$4.3 million, reflective of only partial year of contributions, was recorded during the period.</li>
</ul>
Recent Developments during the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023, together with Events subsequent to June 30, 2023
<ul>
<li>In January 2023, the Company acquired AMTD Assets, a subsidiary of AMTD Group, with a total consideration of approximately US$268 million, by issuing 30,875,576 Class B treasury shares, priced at US$8.68 per share. The transaction was completed on February 6, 2023 and AMTD Assets became a subsidiary of the Company. AMTD Assets holds a global portfolio of premium properties.</li>
<li>In March 2023, the Company's subsidiaries, L'Officiel Singapore Pte. Ltd. and L'Officiel Malaysia Sdn. Bhd., have been granted the publication permits in Singapore and Malaysia by the Singapore Registrar of Newspapers and Ministry of Home Affairs, to publish magazines under the direct owner's model. In October 2023, L'Officiel Hong Kong successfully registered with the HKSAR Government's Office for Film, Newspaper and Article Administration. We reinforce our direct position in Asia, while continuing to foster our relationships with franchisees for the rest of the world, promoting greater values for the overall ecosystem under our one world's global approach and service quality's consistency.</li>
<li>In April 2023, the Company secured US$93.6 million of new share subscription of 90,000,000 newly issued Class A ordinary share at 21.1% premium above the prevailing traded price, further solidifying the Company's financial and capital strengths.</li>
<li>In August 2023, the Company, AMTD Group and its subsidiary AMTD Digital Inc. officially established AMTD World Media and Entertainment Group ("AMTD WME"). AMTD WME will embark and focus on global strategies and developments of a multi-media, entertainment and cultures worldwide platform.</li>
<li>Subsequent to June 30, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with an independent third party to dispose certain real estate assets. The consideration for the disposal was determined with reference to the assets' latest valuation, with potential adjustments based on the final valuation performed by the independent valuer. The disposal was carried out with an aim to reallocate the proceeds into other premium assets at more preferred locations or more favourable pricing.</li>
<li>Subsequent to June 30, 2023, the Company reached an agreement with the counterparty of certain derivative financial assets held by the Company to conclude and settle.</li>
<li>Subsequent to June 30, 2023, the Company entered into a termsheet with an independent third party. Pursuant to the termsheet, there is a restructuring exercise for certain subsidiaries of L'Officiel Inc. SAS to take advantage of certain opportunities, including disposal of non-core components, in view of reverse inquiries from market.</li>
</ul>
Statement from the Board Members and Senior Management:
Dr. Feridun Hamdullahpur, Chairman of the board and audit committee, "Long term vision and planning, resiliency, innovative thinking, and solid leadership were altogether behind the remarkably exciting financial performance. The current volatile market conditions coupled with the on-going global geopolitical uncertainties have created a challenging environment for the entire investment world. Despite these unfavourable winds, the AMTD IDEA Group has achieved an overall 8.6% increase in revenues compared the same period last year. I am delighted with these results and, on behalf of the Board of Directors convey my heartfelt thanks to the entire leadership team. I look forward to seeing even stronger results for the next half of the year."
Mr. William Fung, CEO of the Company, "Maintaining growth sustainability and achieving business diversification have been the key strategic objectives of the management team as we continued to navigate through global political uncertainties and economic challenges in the first half of 2023. We were able to achieve an encouraging 8.6% y/y increase in total revenue, expand in identified growth areas and strengthen the Group's liquidity and asset base via share placements and banking facilities, and acquisition of premium global properties, whereby net assets increased by 47.4% to US$1.5 billion. On behalf of the management team, I would like to thank the board of directors for their continued support and guidance, as well as our shareholders and business partners for their trust and partnership. We remain confident and committed towards the financial and strategic goals of the Group."
Mr. Xavier Zee, CFO of the Company, "I am glad to see that the Group stayed resilient and delivered solid results despite the global economic slowdown. Successful acquisitions of businesses of hotel operations, media and entertainment bring in more stable income streams to the Group. More synergies would be anticipated from these businesses through collaborating with our ecosystem partners."
Financial Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
Revenue
Our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 amounted to US$128.0 million, increasing from US$117.8 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The 8.6% increase compared to prior year was primarily attributable to (i) the net increase in dividends, fair value changes and disposal gains of our investment portfolio, and (ii) diversification of our revenue sources which results from the acquisition of L'Officiel and AMTD Assets.
<ul>
<li>Digital solutions and other services income was US$16.2 million for six months ended June 30, 2023, 126.9% higher than the same period of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by the introduction of new clients in the second half of 2022 and the expansion of digital marketing services.</li>
<li>Fashion and luxury media advertising and marketing services income was US$7.2 million, representing 7.4 times the comparative figure in the same period of last year. The increase was mainly attributable to the successful operations and expansions of L'Officiel into Asia.</li>
<li>Hotel operations, hospitality and VIP services income was US$4.3 million and becomes a new revenue driver after the successful acquisition of AMTD Assets, the real estate arm of AMTD Group, focusing and specialising in hospitality and lifestyle concepts globally during the period.</li>
<li>Dividends and disposal gains of investments was US$93.5million, representing 14.6 times the comparative figure in the same period of last year. It was in turn attributable to the increase of the gain from the successful divestment of certain investments in our portfolio and an increase in dividend income.</li>
</ul>
Other Income And Gains
Other income and gains increased by 54.0% as compared to the same period in prior year to US$11.3 million, primarily due to (i) increase in bank interest income as the Company had generated additional interest income from deposits with banks, and (ii) increase in the net average outstanding balance due from our immediate holding company, which was interest bearing.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by 60.4% as compared to the same period in prior year to US$12.4 million, primarily attributable to (i) an addition of hotel operation expenses in AMTD Assets of US$2.8 million, and (ii) full period effect for the increase in operation expenses of L'Officiel of US$1.2 million.
Staff Costs
Staff costs for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by 36.9% as compared to the same period in prior year to US$10.3 million. This was due to the incremental costs in connection to the post-acquisition operations of AMTD Digital Inc., L'Officiel and AMTD Assets.
Finance Costs
Finance costs for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by 1,024.5% as compared to the same period in prior year to US$3.6 million, primarily due to the increase in the market interest rate and outstanding bank borrowings during the period.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by 18.9% as compared to the same period in prior year to US$7.2 million, primarily due to a decrease in tax assessable income.
Profit For The Period
Profit for the six months ended June 30, 2023 slightly increased by 3.3% as compared to the same period in the prior year to US$105.7 million.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable increased by 9.6% from US$24.1 million as of December 31, 2022 to US$26.4 million as of June 30, 2023, primarily due to increase in dividend receivable and receivables from hotel and hospitality services of US$1.7 million.
Financial Assets At Fair Value Through Profit or Loss, Including Derivative Financial Assets
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss decreased by 4.9% from US$380.4 million as of December 31, 2022 to US$361.7 million as of June 30, 2023, primarily due to decrease in fair value of the financial assets and net disposal of investments during the period.
Accounts Payable
Accounts payable decreased by 9.6% from US$10.6 million as of December 31, 2022 to US$9.5 million as of June 30, 2023, largely attributable to a decrease of US$1.2 million in payables to suppliers of fashion and luxury media advertising and marketing services, which was in turn resulting from the optimization of our payment cycle during the period.
Bank Borrowings
Total bank borrowings were US$ 96.4 million as of June 30, 2023, representing 4.7 times of the comparative figure. The increase was mainly attributable to the increase in bank borrowings, which were successfully secured during the pandemic times and through the acquisition of AMTD Assets.
Net Assets
The net assets increased by 47.4% from US$1.0 billion as of December 31, 2022 to US$1.5 billion as of June 30, 2023, reflecting
(i) the successful completion of acquisition of AMTD Assets, of which certain line items, including property, plant and equipment (hotel properties within the property portfolio), interest in joint ventures (the Company's stake in a hotel venture project), and amount due from / to non-controlling shareholders (the outstanding balances with our business partners), recorded a significant change when compared with December 31, 2022, and
(ii) the contribution of our results and comprehensive income from our operations.
There were other fluctuations in various financial line items, and it was due to the reclassification of certain assets and liabilities (e.g. goodwill) associated with assets classified as held for sale as a result of Company's plan to streamline certain operations.
