Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou Innovation Cluster in China maintains global lead

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 9 September 2026 - The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) released its Global Innovation Index (GII) 2026 on September 8, revealing that the Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou metropolitan cluster, located in Southern China, has once again secured the top position among the world's 100 leading innovation clusters. This marks another triumph for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), solidifying its status as a global powerhouse for scientific advancement and technological entrepreneurship. The annual GII ranking evaluates innovation activity through three core metrics: international patent filings via WIPO's Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), scientific publications and the number of venture capital deals. For this year's ranking, the Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou cluster filed 2,259 PCT applications, published 4,060 scientific articles and had 138 venture capital deals, all per 1 million inhabitants over the past five years. Welcoming the announcement, a spokesman for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government said the ranking reaffirms the outstanding innovative capacity and the innovation and technology (I&T)-supporting financing ecosystem of the GBA. "Expediting I&T development has been a policy priority of this Government," the spokesman added, highlighting the HKSAR Government's continuous development of the original grant patent system and introduction of the patent box regime, which offers tax concessions for intellectual property income to promote innovation. The HKSAR Government's strategic investments are already yielding tangible results. The number of start-ups in Hong Kong has surged from over 1,500 in 2015 to more than 5,200 in 2025. The city's two I&T flagships—Hong Kong Science Park and Cyberport—have collectively nurtured around 20 unicorns to date. A landmark development in this trajectory is the official opening of the Hong Kong Park of the Hetao Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Co-operation Zone (the Loop Hong Kong Park) in December 2025. Over 100 technology enterprises and institutions have already signed leases and begun moving in. The Loop Hong Kong Park is poised to serve as an important platform for basic scientific research, commercialisation, pilot production, and international I&T collaboration within the GBA. Furthermore, the establishment of the San Tin Technopole Company Limited in June 2026 is set to develop 210 hectares of I&T land in the San Tin Technopole, which is located in Hong Kong's Northern Metropolis development. It will create a vital node for integrated upstream, midstream and downstream industrial development, alongside the Loop Hong Kong Park. Hong Kong's financial machinery remains a cornerstone of its innovation success. The city boasts a vibrant private equity market with assets under management nearing US$250 billion, ranking second in Asia after the Chinese Mainland. Looking ahead, Hong Kong will proactively align its strategy with the National 15th Five-Year Plan to fortify its position as an international I&T centre. The city will also further deepen collaboration with GBA sister cities, and contribute to the nation's efforts in building a modern industrial system and achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and strength.

The Jollibee Group Reports Record Q2 2026 Results, with Margin Recovery from Controlled Pricing and Record-High Quarterly Net Income Attributable to Equity Holders of the Parent Company

Margin recovery and record earnings underscore the Jollibee Group’s growth momentum, as Jollibee Canada prepares to nearly double its network over five yearsKey Highlights: Record quarterly earnings: Net income attributable to equity holders of the parent company rose 5.7% year over year to Php3.4 billion, or approximately US$55 million, marking the Jollibee Group's highest quarterly NIAT on record, supported by margin recovery from first-quarter cost pressures and improved operating leverage. Sustained global sales growth: System-wide sales increased 14.2% year over year, driven by continued demand across the Group's Philippine and international businesses and growth across its global brand portfolio. Strong North American performance: Jollibee North America system-wide sales grew 21.6%, while same-store sales increased 8.6%; Smashburger same-store sales grew 7.0%, underscoring momentum in one of the Group's key international growth markets. Canada expansion strengthens the North America growth platform: New plans add 26 locations in British Columbia and Edmonton to Jollibee's existing 28-restaurant Canadian network, positioning the brand to nearly double its Canada footprint over the next five years. Expanding global store network: The Jollibee Group's store network increased 6.4% year over year to 10,767 stores across 33 countries, with franchised stores accounting for approximately 70% of gross new openings. METRO MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Media OutRech Newswire – 8 September 2026 – Jollibee Foods Corporation (PSE: JFC) and its subsidiaries (the "Jollibee Group"), today reported record second-quarter earnings for 2026, reflecting a clear margin recovery from first-quarter cost pressures, the resilience of its global brand portfolio, continued healthy consumer demand, and positive system-wide sales growth across all regions. The Jollibee Group's system-wide sales increased 14.2% year-on-year, driven by continued demand across its Philippine and international businesses and growth across its global brand portfolio. The Group recorded Php3.4 billion in net income attributable to equity holders of the parent company, its highest quarterly NIAT on record. North America continued to deliver strong performance during the quarter. Jollibee's system-wide sales increased 21.6%, while same-store sales grew 8.6%. Smashburger also delivered 7.0% same-store sales growth, reflecting continued momentum across the Group's North American portfolio. Canada is emerging as an important growth market for Jollibee, with planned expansion in British Columbia and Edmonton set to strengthen the brand's national footprint. Together, these plans would add 26 restaurants — 16 in British Columbia and 10 in Edmonton — to Jollibee's existing network of 28 restaurants in Canada. If completed as planned, these commitments would nearly double Jollibee's Canadian network over the next five years, while laying the foundation for further expansion across the country. The Jollibee Group's global store network increased 6.4% year-on-year to 10,767 stores across 33 countries,. Of these, 501 stores were across North America at the end of the second quarter, spanning Jollibee, Chowking, Red Ribbon, Smashburger, Milksha, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, and Tim Ho Wan. "Our second-quarter results demonstrate the continued strength of the Jollibee Group's global brand portfolio and the resilience of consumer demand across our key markets," said Ernesto Tanmantiong, Global Chief Executive Officer of JFC. "We delivered healthy system-wide sales growth across all regions, supported by strong contributions from both our Philippine and international businesses, continued same-store sales growth, and ongoing expansion of our global store network. "The breadth of our growth reflects the relevance of our brands, the strength of our value offerings, and the trust that customers continue to place in us. As we expand our presence in key markets and build a stronger global platform, we remain focused on serving more customers, strengthening our brands, and creating sustainable long-term value for our stakeholders." Second Quarter Performance: Sequential Recovery and Sustained Growth The Jollibee Group's second-quarter performance is best understood by first looking at the sequential recovery from Q1 cost pressures, followed by the year-on-year growth that demonstrates the continued strength of the business. The discussion below first presents the quarter-on-quarter improvement in revenues, margins, and earnings, then places that recovery in the context of the Jollibee Group's sustained year-on-year growth across its global portfolio. Sequential Recovery: Quarter-on-Quarter Profitability Improvement Quarter-on-quarter comparisons demonstrate the strength of the Jollibee Group's recovery from the first quarter. Consolidated revenues increased by 12.2% versus Q1 2026, supporting a 25.3% increase in gross profit, a 56.1% increase in operating income, and a 130.5% increase in NIAT. The margin recovery was also visible within the quarter. Gross profit margin improved to 18.5% in Q2 from 16.5% in Q1 and strengthened from 17.3% in April to 19.0% in June, indicating that the Group's pricing and recovery actions are gaining traction even as the operating environment remains affected by elevated commodity, logistics, and other supply chain-related costs. Operating leverage improved as the quarter progressed. Operating income margin increased to 7.2% in Q2 from 5.2% in Q1, while NIAT margin nearly doubled to 4.0% from 1.9%. By June, operating income margin had reached 9.1% and NIAT margin had reached 6.2%, providing a stronger exit rate entering the second half of 2026. Reported profitability for the quarter was affected by Php239.0 million (approx. US$3.9 million) in transition-related costs, covering store closure and lease termination costs associated with the ongoing turnaround of Yonghe King and Smashburger toward predominantly franchised business models. These costs are aligned with the Jollibee Group's continuing efforts to strengthen the long-term quality, scalability, and profitability of its portfolio. Commenting on the Group's sequential margin recovery and second-quarter earnings momentum, Richard Shin, Chief Financial and Risk Officer of JFC and Chief Executive Officer of Jollibee Group International Business, said: "The second quarter represents an important step forward in our earnings momentum. Pricing actions implemented beginning in April, together with productivity, sourcing, and cost discipline initiatives, contributed to the recovery in gross profit margins and supported stronger operating income and NIAT margins. "Sequentially, gross profit increased by 25.3%, operating income rose by 56.1%, and NIAT more than doubled versus Q1 2026, reflecting both cost recovery and stronger operating leverage from sustained topline growth. "These portfolio actions involve near-term transition costs but are expected to support stronger long-term profitability, scalability, and overall portfolio quality. "While the operating environment remains dynamic, our second-quarter performance demonstrates our ability to respond decisively, improve profitability, and continue investing for long-term growth. We enter the second half with stronger momentum, a continued focus on sustaining margin recovery, and continued confidence in the long-term growth prospects." Sustained Growth: Year-on-Year Business Momentum On a year-on-year basis, consolidated revenues increased 10.7%, while system-wide sales grew 14.2%, underscoring sustained demand across the Jollibee Group's global brand portfolio.

North America continued to deliver strong performance during the quarter. Jollibee's North American system-wide sales increased 21.6%, while same-store sales grew 8.6%. Smashburger also delivered 7.0% same-store sales growth, reflecting continued momentum across the Group's North American portfolio. The International segment expanded by 25.4% in system-wide sales, led by Highlands Coffee (+46.7%), Jolli-K's Compose Coffee (+39.7%), Europe, Middle East, Asia, and Australia (EMEAA) brands Jollibee and Chowking, (+25.3%), Tim Ho Wan (+23.0%), Jollibee NA (+21.6%), and Milksha (+12.4%). Shabu All Day, the Jollibee Group's newest Korea-based brand under Jolli-K, contributed 5% to the International business' SWS. The Philippine business also delivered continued growth, with system-wide sales increasing 5.7%, supported by strong contributions from Mang Inasal (+10.7%) and Jollibee (+6.6%). SSSG for the quarter grew 2.7%, with the Philippine business up 1.3% and the international business up 4.4%. In the Philippines, SSSG growth was mainly supported by higher spend per transaction. While traffic was affected by a strong prior-year base that benefited from election-related spending, trends improved over the course of the quarter, reaching broadly flat levels in June. Several international markets delivered positive performance during the quarter, particularly North America, where Jollibee NA grew 8.6% and Smashburger grew 7.0%; Vietnam, where Jollibee grew 17.9% and Highlands Coffee grew 11.5%; and Korea, where Compose Coffee grew 12.4%. Operating income increased year-on-year, supported by higher revenues and the initial benefits of pricing and margin recovery actions implemented during the quarter. NIAT rose by 5.7% to Php3.4 billion (approx. US$55 million), the highest quarterly NIAT on record, while earnings per share increased by 5.8% to Php2.949 (approx. US$0.048), reflecting the Group's stronger bottom-line performance. EBITDA increased by 7.3% year-on-year, driven by the Philippine business, where EBITDA grew by 12.8%, partly offset by a 0.4% decline in International EBITDA. The decline in International EBITDA was impacted by store closure and lease termination costs related to Smashburger and Yonghe King. JFC increased its global store network by 6.4% year-on-year to 10,767 stores. This reflected 461 gross new store openings and the addition of 172 stores from the acquisition of Shabu All Day, partly offset by 207 store closures during the first half. Of the gross new store openings, 323 stores, or approximately 70%, were franchised, keeping the Group's franchised ratio at 70%. The total store network comprised 3,516 stores in the Philippines and 7,251 stores internationally, including 602 in China, 340 in North America, 455 in EMEAA, 1,062 under Highlands Coffee mainly in Vietnam, 1,097 under CBTL, 358 under Milksha, 3,098 under Compose Coffee, 156 under Shabu All Day, and 83 under Tim Ho Wan. Full Year 2026 Guidance For full year 2026, the Jollibee Group expects its underlying sales momentum to remain resilient. It is maintaining its guidance for system-wide sales growth of 8%-12% and store network growth of 5%-10%, supported by continued demand across key markets and disciplined execution across its global brand portfolio. At the same time, the Jollibee Group is updating certain operating assumptions. Full year same-store sales growth guidance is being revised to 3%-4%, while the gross new store opening target is being updated to 1,000-1,100 stores. Despite the lower gross opening target, the Jollibee Group continues to expect overall store network growth to remain in line with its previous guidance, reflecting ongoing portfolio optimization and the timing of store openings and closures. Capital expenditures are now expected to be in the range of Php13.0 billion (approx. US$212 million) to Php15.0 billion (approx. US$244 million). Operating income growth guidance is revised to 10%-15%, reflecting the updated same-store sales assumptions, the revised expansion assumptions, continued transition-related costs for China and Smashburger, and the still-dynamic cost environment. The Jollibee Group's confidence is supported by growth catalysts that provide a stronger foundation for sustained performance over the medium term, including continued international expansion, a growing base in key markets such as North America, and ongoing portfolio optimization initiatives. Recent developments in Canada, Vietnam, and China illustrate the Group's ability to pursue high-quality growth across markets with different growth profiles and strategic priorities. Jollibee Vietnam has emerged as one of the Jollibee Group's strongest international growth engines, leading the category in sales and ranked as the No. 1 quick-service restaurant brand in Vietnam by Euromonitor International in its Consumer Foodservice 2026 study. In Q2 2026, Jollibee achieved system-wide sales growth of 47.6% and same-store sales growth of 17.9%, supported by disciplined execution and continued network expansion, with 19 new stores opened in the first half of the year. Attractive unit economics, with store payback of less than four years, reinforce confidence in the sustainability of future growth. Its strong market position, operating performance, and customer engagement were further recognized through awards for Best Companies to Work for in Asia 2026 and Best Social & Commerce Integration in Vietnam. In China, the franchise ratio has increased significantly to 62% today from 14% in 2016, reflecting continued progress toward a more scalable and asset-light operating model. Its largest brand, Yonghe King, has achieved a franchise ratio of 65% and is targeting 70% by the end of 2026, with a medium-term target of up to 95%. Yonghe King's new stores typically achieve payback in approximately two years. The Jollibee Group remains focused on pursuing high-quality growth opportunities that generate attractive returns on invested capital, with disciplined capital allocation and capital-light expansion continuing to guide its growth strategy. Other Developments Recognition for Global Brand Influence The Jollibee Group was named to TIME's 100 Most Influential Companies of 2026, where it was recognized as a "fried chicken phenom." The Company was also included in the inaugural TIME100 Companies: Industry Leaders list as one of the Top 10 companies in the Food & Drink category. In July, the Jollibee Group was included in Fortune's Southeast Asia 500 list, reinforcing its position among the region's leading companies. Jollibee was also recognized by USA Today as having the Best Fast Food Fried Chicken, further strengthening the brand's global consumer relevance and reinforcing its leadership in great-tasting food. Sustainability and ESG Progress The Jollibee Group continued to advance its sustainability agenda and strengthen its ESG initiatives. For the second consecutive year, the Company received the 3G Excellence in Sustainability Reporting Award 2026, recognizing its commitment to transparent and meaningful sustainability disclosures. The Company's Danao commissary was also awarded LEED Gold certification under LEED v4.1 ID+C: Commercial Interiors, becoming the first manufacturing facility in the Philippines to achieve LEED certification for interior design and construction.

GUANGZHOU, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 September 2026 – On September 7, Huawei officially unveiled the latest addition to its tri-fold lineup, the HUAWEI Mate XT 2 | ULTIMATE DESIGN. As the first smartphone to feature the LogicFolding Tau (τ) Chip, HUAWEI Mate XT 2 | ULTIMATE DESIGN marks the chip's official entry into mass commercialization. Ultimate Design: A Wing-Like Form for Intuitive Control The phone debuts with a wing-like tri-fold design, continuously pushing the boundaries of ultimate aesthetics, craftsmanship, and innovation. It is the first device powered by the Kirin 9050 Pro chip and introduces several industry-first features and experiences, including the Xuanwu Ultra-Durable Tri-Fold Architecture, Smart Shield Privacy Screen, True-to-Color Camera 3.0, and the HarmonyOS 7 large-screen experience. As the pioneer of tri-fold phones, this new generation once again redefines the extraordinary. The new HUAWEI Mate XT 2 | ULTIMATE DESIGN features a wing-like tri-fold design that opens from both sides, offering a more intuitive unfolding experience. The design philosophy draws on Chinese aesthetics, with a cloud pattern on the back panel created using Brocade Cloud craftsmanship. It is available in three colors: Purple, White, and Black. The camera ring inherits the iconic Star Diamond Glow design, crafted from Yttrium Crystal and fired at 1,800°C. Combining gemstone design and cutting techniques, it undergoes eight steps of fine polishing to form 33 star diamond facets, delivering a dazzling gemstone-like luster. The device features the Xuanwu Ultra-Durable Tri-Fold Architecture, which re-engineers the hinge and screen technology for layered protection from the inside out. It is the first tri-fold phone to support IP58/59 dust and water resistance. The cover screen, made of Xuanwu Kunlun Glass, resists daily scratches and impacts with ease. It also features anti-glare technology, ensuring clear visibility even under direct sunlight. The main screen uses a multi-layer composite ultra-tough structure, including a large UTG glass layer, aerospace-grade ultra-thin high-strength steel, and a carbon fiber support layer, providing robust impact resistance. The Advanced Precision Hinge System 2.0 employs a 5 curved arm structure and a synchronized linkage mechanism for even force distribution and reliable pressure resistance. Ultimate Performance: Kirin Chipset, a Leap in Power The HUAWEI Mate XT 2 | ULTIMATE DESIGN is the first to feature the Kirin 9050 Pro chip, delivering a dual leap in performance and energy efficiency. Through deep collaboration between hardware, software, chips, and cloud, overall device performance is improved by 42% compared to the previous generation. The LinxiCore CPU, combined with the Ultra-smooth HUAWEI Ark Engine, enables faster loading of large files and superior performance when running multiple apps or multitasking. The Maleoon GPU features doubled computing units and cache, significantly enhancing rendering performance. In gaming scenarios, it supports 50 MRPS hardware-level real-time ray tracing, delivering a more immersive and realistic experience.
