Hong Kong, March 6, 2019 - Leading Hong Kong listed information technology (IT) software and service company, Computer And Technologies Holdings Limited (C&T or the Group, SEHK 00046) announced today its audited full-year results for the year ended December 31, 2018.

As a result of improved business performance of both Application Software and Solutions Services businesses, the Group’s overall revenue rose by HK$27.5 million, or 10.8% to HK$281.4 million (2017: HK$253.9 million). The gross profit of the Group also soared by HK$16.4 million, or 11.5% to HK$159.9 million while the gross profit margin slightly increased to 56.8% (2017: 56.5%).

While there were increases in the bank interest income and revaluation gain from investment properties, the increment in non-operating incomes was offset by the reduced tax refund received from the PRC operation and valuation loss in financial assets.

With the abovementioned, the Group’s consolidated net profit attributable to shareholders increased by 25.2% to HK$68.0 million (2017: HK$54.3 million). The basic earnings per share also lifted by 24.2% to 27.85 HK cents (2017: 22.43 HK cents).

In view of improved business performance and positive cash inflow from operations, the Board recommended the distribution of a final dividend of 12 HK cents (2017: a final dividend of 7 HK cents and a special dividend of 5 HK cents) per ordinary share. Counting the interim dividend of 9 HK cents (2017: an interim dividend of 7 HK cents and a special dividend of 3 HK cents) being paid together with these proposed dividends, the Group’s full-year dividend payout reached 21 HK cents.

“Leveraging its strong customer base and growing Cloud Services income with strong recurring nature, the management is optimistic about the company’s performance in the near future. Looking ahead, the Group will remain committed to the development of the Application Software business as well as the Solutions Services business, and seize opportunity in acquisition of similar business with synergy in order to accelerate its growth,” stated Mr. Ng Cheung Shing, Chairman of the Group.
