貿易通2019 年年報

Chairman’s Statement (Continued) 主席報告書 （續） 二零一九年年報 貿易通電子貿易有限公司 07 Review (Continued) As for our Other Services business, its revenue at HK$35.0 million, grew significantly by 53.1% compared to the revenue at HK$22.9 million last year. The revenue increase mostly came from our Smart Point-of-Sales (“PoS”) business for which the revenue in 2019 recorded a more than three-fold increase from that in 2018. We are pleased to see the harvest of this business after many years of hard plowing work. Continuing the momentum from the first half of the year, we received orders from our existing major bank customer for more Smart PoS deployments for their clients, although the pace slowed down somewhat in the last couple of months due to the impact of the social events on the local retail industry. As our Government Electronic Trading Services-related business remained stable, with the higher cost of purchase and staff to fulfill customer orders for the increased number of Smart PoS devices, reportable profit for Other Services was at par year-on-year at HK$14.8 million. Turning back to our E-Commerce business segment, though the total revenue increased 28.5% from HK$191.7 million in 2018 to HK$246.3 million in 2019, the segment profit of HK$69.2 million, was down 4.8% compared with the segment profit of HK$72.7 million in 2018. Affected by the gloomy economy in 2019, the overall Government Electronic Trading Services (“GETS”) market shrank by 4.8% year-on-year. As a result, revenue of our GETS business also plunged 4.0% year-on-year from HK$168.6 million last year to HK$161.8 million this year. The increase in the E-Commerce segment’s total revenue was from our Supply Chain Solutions sub-segment with revenue soared remarkably to HK$84.5 million in 2019, almost treble the 2018 revenue of HK$23.1 million, due to an exceptional revenue amount from the supplies of goods for our mega-warehouse automation project. On the other hand, as correspondingly we have a much higher cost of purchase, though we have introduced effective cost control measures for our GETS costs, the reportable profit of our E-Commerce business was still down by 4.8%. 回顧（續） 就其他服務業務方面，收益為港幣 35,000,000 元，較 去 年 收 益 港 幣 22,900,000 元 大 幅 增 加 53.1% 。大部分收益增加乃來自智能銷售點（「銷 售點」）業務，該業務於二零一九年錄得較二零 一八年增加三倍的收益。經過多年默默耕耘，我 們樂見此業務終得收成。延續上半年的勢頭，我 們接獲現有主要銀行客戶的訂單，為其客戶設置 更多智能銷售點，惟社會事件對本地零售業造成 影響，此趨勢步伐於過往數月有所放緩。儘管政 府電子貿易服務相關業務維持穩定，由於滿足客 戶增加智能銷售點裝置數目的訂單使採購及員工 成本上漲，其他服務的可呈報溢利按年持平，為 港幣 14,800,000 元。 回到電子商貿業務分部，即使總收益自二零一八 年的港幣 191,700,00 元增加 28.5% 至二零一九年 的 港 幣 246,300,000 元，分 部 溢 利 為 港 幣 69,200,000 元，較二零一八年的分部溢利港幣 72,700,000 元減少 4.8% 。受到二零一九年經濟低 迷影響，整體政府電子貿易服務（「 GETS 」）按年縮 減 4.8% 。因此， GETS 業務收益亦由去年的港幣 168,600,000 元 按 年 下 滑 4.0% 至 本 年 度 的 港 幣 161,800,000 元。電子商貿分部總收益增加來自供 應鏈應用方案子分部，由於大型倉庫自動化項目 供應貨品特殊收益，其收益飆升至二零一九年的 港 幣 84,500,000 元，為 二 零 一 八 年 收 益 港 幣 23,100,000 元的接近三倍。另一方面，我們相應 有更高的採購成本，雖然已就 GETS 成本採取有效 成本控制措施，電子商貿業務可呈報溢利仍然下 跌 4.8% 。
