Basic earnings per share are RMB 3.86 cents, with an interim special dividend of HK2.50 cents per share.
The announcement said that the Group's main business is in mainland China and Hong Kong, China. In 2022, due to various factors such as the epidemic, tight supply chain and limited travel, the operation of various regions of the Group has failed to achieve full efficiency, and the overall business has been greatly affected. With the abolition of most of the epidemic prevention measures in the mainland at the end of 2022, transportation and economic activities in various places have gradually resumed, and driven by the atmosphere of the Lunar New year at the beginning of the year, the Group's business in various regions of the mainland has improved significantly. Passenger traffic has generally increased in all districts. On the other hand, due to the resumption of customs clearance between the mainland and Hong Kong and the accelerated resumption of shipping by international flights, the catering market in Hong Kong has also become active, resulting in a more significant improvement in the Group's business in Hong Kong.
