Published a year ago via Business Wire

AMTD Digital Inc. (NYSE: HKD) (“AMTD Digital” or the “Company”), a comprehensive digital solutions and global hospitality and VIP services platform headquartered in France, today announced a positive profit estimate for the six months ended October 31, 2023.

During the six months ended October 31, 2023, despite the global economic slowdown and rising geopolitical uncertainties that led to great volatility in international markets overall, the Company demonstrated strong resilience and achieved outstanding financial performance.

Total net profit for the six months ended October 31, 2023 is estimated to increase by over 150% year over year. Net profit of the Company for the six months ended October 31, 2023 is estimated to be over US$27 million. In particular, after AMTD IDEA Group, our controlling shareholder, injected AMTD Assets Group into the Company in February 2023, revenue from hotel operations, hospitality and VIP services is estimated to contribute over US$6 million.

Dr. Timothy Tong, Independent Chairman of the Company, “Similar to the year before, the six- month period that ended on October 31, 2023 was filled with challenges. Although the COVID pandemic has officially ended, the global economy in the post-COVID period has yet to fully recover. Geopolitical tensions around the world continue to post serious uncertainties about investments in all sectors of the economy. Due to strong leadership and diligent management of AMTD Digital executive team, year-over-year net profit growth of more than 150% was achieved despite the aforementioned-challenges. Further, through the injection of AMTD Assets Group by the controlling shareholder, AMTD IDEA Group, resulted in enhanced net profit. I thank the management team and continue to be cautiously optimistic about the prospect for future performance growth of AMTD Digital.”

Ms. Joanne Shoveller, independent director of the Company, “Innovative thinking, detailed attention to customer needs and advances in digital solutions services, and recognition of emerging opportunities in hospitality and VIP services have led to this remarkable 6-month performance within demanding market conditions and geopolitical uncertainty. As an independent director of the Company and on behalf of the board of directors, I convey my thanks to AMTD Digital's leadership team for creating this suite of services and investments that position the Company to align with emerging market demands and opportunities and pave the way for even stronger results in the next half of the year.
