李澤鉅:長和現金流非常充足 留意新收購機會
長和(00001.HK)主席李澤鉅在全年業績網上記者會表示,新型冠狀病毒疫情對企業造成大挑戰,但在是次危機下集團看到不同生意的韌力,而去年下半年開始業務已見好轉及復甦,特別是零售及港口業務,今年首兩個月的數據頗好。他強調,集團的現金流非常充足,正在留意新的收購機會。
他指,集團酒店、飛機及酒館業務因疫情而面對較大的短期影響,但隨著疫情及經濟改善,有關業務的復甦亦特別快,由其是英國飲酒文化根深柢固,酒館業務在疫情過後的反彈料會特別快。
李澤鉅提到,集團零售業務採取線上線下同步策略,目前實體零售店約有1.6萬間,今年估計會再開多1,000間,其中料以亞洲區較多,未來會繼續以線上線下雙線發展零售業務。
聯席董事總經理霍建寧補充指,零售業務去年下半年的表現已較2019年佳,認為業務復甦很快,證明集團方向正確。而是次疫情令網上業務做得更好,採用線上線下策略令消費一年之內有很大的增長,相信集團的零售業務很有優勢。
電訊業務方面,李澤鉅稱不會放慢在5G上的投資,集團剛以逾30億元投得英國5G頻譜,於意大利、丹麥、瑞典及香港等多個地區都有5G投資,相信集團在英國擁有的5G頻譜是眾多競爭者中最多。(ek/u)
