Financial Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020
Core Revenue
Core revenue include fee and commission income, dividend income and realized gain on investment, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was HK$539.1 million (US$69.6 million equivalent), compared to HK$377.5 million (US$48.7 million equivalent) for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase of 42.8% for the period was primarily due to the success of investment banking business with a total of 28 completed transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Net Fair Value Changes of Investments and Derivatives
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, there was a net loss HK$5.5 million (US$0.7 million equivalent) as compared to a HK$240.5 million (US$31.0 million equivalent) net gain recorded for the same period in prior year, as there was only a relatively insignificant movement in fair values of investments in current period.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased by 65.6% as compared to the same period in prior year to HK$83.7 million (US$10.8 million equivalent), primarily due to (i) an increase in professional and consulting fees of HK$15.2 million (US$2.0 million equivalent) in relation to the Companys secondary listing in the Singapore Exchange, and (ii) an increase in intercompany management fee of HK$11.1 million (US$1.4 million equivalent) which mainly represented the central administrative and supporting services rendered by AMTD Group to the Company.
Income Tax (Expense) / Credit
Income tax expense of HK$75.2 million (US$9.7 million equivalent) and income tax credit of HK$173.4 million (US$22.4 million equivalent) were recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively. The change was primarily due to reversal of deferred tax liability provided on fair value changes of certain investments which are concluded to be capital gains in nature and therefore not subject to profits tax charge.
Profit and Total Comprehensive Income
Profit and total comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased by 39.2% as compared to the same period in prior year to HK$603.9 million (US$77.9 million equivalent).
Financial Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020
Core revenue
Core revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was HK$623 million (US$80.4 million equivalent), compared to HK$522.6 million (US$67.4 million equivalent) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase of 19.2% for the period was due to the success of investment banking business with a total of 43 completed transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as well as an increase in AUM of 6.7% as compared to the AUM of HK$26.2 billion (US$3.4 billion equivalent) as of December 31, 2019.
Net fair value changes of investments and derivatives
The net fair value gain amounted to HK$65.4 million (US$8.4 million equivalent) for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, representing a decrease of 87.4% as compared to the same period in prior year, primarily due to the fluctuation in the fair value of strategic investment portfolio.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased by 40.1% to HK$103.9 million (US$13.4 million equivalent), as compared to the same period in prior year, primarily due to (i) an increase in professional and consulting fees of HK$10.6 million (US$1.4 million equivalent) in relation to the Companys secondary listing in the Singapore Exchange, and (ii) an increase in intercompany management fee of HK$11.1 million (US$1.4 million equivalent) which mainly represented the administrative service support rendered by AMTD Group to the Company.
Income Tax (Expense) / Credit
Income tax expense of HK$139.7 million (US$18.0 million equivalent) and income tax credit of HK$163.0 million (US$21.0 million equivalent) were recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively. The change was primarily due to reversal of deferred tax liability provided on fair value changes of certain investments which are concluded to be capital gains in nature and therefore not subject to profits tax charge.
Profit and Total Comprehensive Income
Profit and total comprehensive income of HK$728.3 million (US$94.0 million equivalent) for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 remained stable as compared to the same period in prior year.
