Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited and The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited take no responsibility for the contents of this announcement, make no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaim any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this announcement. (Incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability) Stock Code: 00511 ANNOUNCEMENT OF 2017 ANNUAL RESULTS BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS • 2017 was one of the toughest years in the last decade of the Company. Our businesses were challenged on many fronts, including a lackluster advertising market in Hong Kong and the global digital revolution that causes significant disruption to many conventional business models. • As the retail sales slightly improved, income from advertisers under Hong Kong TV broadcasting stabilised during 2017 at HK$2,459 million (2016: HK$2,458 million), after a consecutive two-year decline since 2014. • Three drama serials were successfully co-produced with Tencent and iQiyi. These drama serials generated significant viewerships in both Hong Kong and Mainland China and provided higher production budgets to the Company. • Major progress has been made in transformation from a terrestrial TV-based broadcaster to a digital player with substantial online distribution networks in Hong Kong and overseas. The Group now possesses a complete spectrum of media platforms, spanning terrestrial TV, OTT services and online social media in Hong Kong, and is well-positioned to capture digital opportunities. • The number of users of myTV SUPER OTT service continued its rapid growth during 2017, and had exceeded 5.8 million to-date. -
