貿易通 2021 年年報

Chairman’s Statement (Continued) 主席報告書（續） 07 二零二一年年報 貿易通電子貿易有限公司 Review (Continued) Regarding the performance of our three business segments in 2021, except for the Identity Management (“IDM”) business, the other two business segments, namely E-Commerce and Other Services were able to keep up with their strong growth momentum gathered since the first half of the year. As a result, both segments recorded promising results for the whole year. The IDM segment performance, however, was a bit disappointing as against a handsome increase in the segment profit recorded in the first half of 2021, its profit has slashed rather steeply in the second half-year dragging down the segment profit for the whole year. Our E-Commerce business, comprising two business sub-segments, specifically Government Electronic Trading Services (“GETS”) and Supply Chain Solutions, recorded a growth in revenue and segment profit year-on- year almost on a par with the level of the first half of the year. Total revenue of our E-Commerce business in 2021 at HK$188.4 million, was up 8.3% compared with the revenue at HK$174.0 million in 2020 whereas segment profit was up 26.0% to HK$74.4 million in 2021 from HK$59.1 million in 2020. As mentioned in my statement in the 2021 Interim Report, as the global economy gathered strong growth momentum, Hong Kong’s economy had made a robust recovery in the first half of 2021. Such vigorous growth continued into the latter part of the year. The GETS market which is tied to Hong Kong’s external trade performance recorded a phenomenal growth of 21% year-on-year, the highest ever along with the highest transaction volume in the last two decades. Relative to the recovery after the last global financial crisis whereby the market dropped 9.3% in 2009 followed by a rebound of 10.1% in 2010, the surge of 21.0% in 2021 came after a contraction of 4.8% for two consecutive years in 2019 and 2020. This went beyond a V-shaped rebound as the market well surpassed the pre-pandemic level. Accordingly, benefited from such a favorable operating environment, our GETS business recorded a revenue increase of 11.1% year-on-year from HK$150.7 million in 2020 to HK$167.5 million in 2021. 回顧（續） 觀乎我們三個業務分部於二零二一年的表現，除身 份管理（「身份管理」）業務稍遜外，其餘兩個業務分 部（即電子商務及其他服務）均能延續上半年的強勁 增長勢頭，於全年錄得驕人業績。身份管理業務的 分部溢利於二零二一年上半年錄得理想增長，惟下 半年表現強差人意，拖低了全年的分部溢利。 電子商務業務由政府電子貿易服務（「 GETS 」）與供 應鏈應用方案兩個業務分部組成，此分部的收益 及溢利年比年均錄得增長，增長幅度幾乎是上半 年的水平。電子商務業務的總收益由二零二零年 的港幣 174,000,000 元增加 8.3% 至二零二一年的港 幣 188,400,000 元，而分部溢利則由二零二零年的 港幣 59,100,000 元增加 26.0% 至二零二一年的港幣 74,400,000 元。誠如本人在二零二一年中期報告中 所述，全球經濟於二零二一年上半年增長強勁，香 港經濟亦隨之顯著復甦，而增長勢頭亦於下半年持 續。與香港對外貿易表現息息相關的 GETS 市場因 而年比年大幅增長 21% ，無論是增幅及交易量均創 下近二十年新高。相對上一次市場從全球金融危機 中復甦，市場於二零零九年下跌 9.3% ，繼而於二零 一零年反彈 10.1% 。今次市場則於二零一九年及二 零二零年連續兩年收縮 4.8% ，然後於二零二一年飆 升 21.0% ，不僅是 V 形反彈，更是超越了疫情前的水 平。 GETS 業務受惠於如此利好的經營環境，收益 由二零二零年的港幣 150,700,000 元上升 11.1% 至二 零二一年的港幣 167,500,000 元。
