- Silentbox Takes Acoustic Booths into the Space-as-a-Service (SPaaS) EraWARSAW, POLAND, Sept 29, 2026 - Silentbox, a European manufacturer of acoustic booths, has announced an investment in Space-as-a-Service (SPaaS), turning its acoustic booths into bookable, pay-per-use spaces for calls, meetings and focused work in shared and public locations. The model is already operating commercially at a shopping centre in Lisbon, where Silentbox booths average 78% occupancy and more than 500 bookings per month, with a user rating of 4.8 out of 5. Under the SPaaS model, an acoustic booth is no longer permanently assigned to a single company or team. Instead, it becomes a shared, bookable resource that can be used throughout the day for calls, meetings, focused work or confidential conversations. Users book and pay for the booth when they need it, while coworking spaces, business centres and other location owners can generate additional revenue from existing floor space. Silentbox Cloud provides the digital infrastructure for booking, payment, access and workspace management. The platform supports the SPaaS model, enabling location owners to offer acoustic booths as bookable spaces without permanently allocating them to individual users or companies. Space-as-a-Service (SPaaS) Space-as-a-Service brings the principle of paying for access rather than ownership to the workplace market. Instead of permanently allocating space to a single company or team, shared spaces can be made available to different users according to their needs. Silentbox applies this model to acoustic booths, turning a unit of workplace infrastructure into a shared, bookable resource. For shopping centres, airports, business centres, coworking spaces and offices, this creates an opportunity to offer additional bookable space without permanently allocating it to individual users — while generating additional revenue from existing floor space. European Market Position Founded in 2019, Silentbox is a European manufacturer of acoustic booths, with more than 500 acoustic booths installed across 30+ countries and 92 cities. Silentbox designs and manufactures its booths in-house, combining patented designs with certified acoustic performance. Its Premium line has been laboratory-tested according to ISO 11957 and ISO 23351-1, with sound insulation of up to 35 dB, depending on the model and configuration. Investment and Expansion The investment marks Silentbox’s expansion from manufacturing acoustic infrastructure into Space-as-a-Service, creating a new business model around bookable acoustic booths. The company plans to expand its SPaaS network across European and international markets, targeting offices, shopping centres, airports, business centres and coworking spaces. “Space-as-a-Service changes how acoustic workspace can be accessed. Instead of being permanently assigned to one company or team, an acoustic booth can be made available to different users throughout the day. We see an opportunity to make acoustic infrastructure more flexible and accessible while giving location owners a new way to use their existing floor space.” — Svyatoslav Serbin, Co-Founder of Silentbox About Silentbox Silentbox is a European manufacturer of acoustic booths founded in 2019. The company designs and manufactures acoustic workplace solutions for offices and public spaces, combining in-house production with its own product development and patented designs. Silentbox is now expanding beyond manufacturing into Space-as-a-Service, developing a model that combines acoustic booth infrastructure with digital booking, payment, access and workspace management through Silentbox Cloud.

- AGORA HG發佈2026財年中期：客群多元化見成效 核心酒店業務展韌性香港, 2026年9月29日 - 8月13日，日本酒店集團 Agora Hospitality Group（以下簡稱「 Agora HG」或「集團」）公佈2026年12月期中期業績。期內受大阪・關西世博會入境遊特需效應消退，以及中國訪日旅行需求減少等因素影響，集團營業額及利潤較去年同期回落，但整體經營基調向好，客群多元化持續推進，整體客房單價（ADR）高於去年同期，核心酒店業務仍具韌性，財務結構維持穩健。 短期因素擾動 關西收入待回穩 主要業績數據顯示，2026 年 12 月期中期，集團營業額為42.17億日圓，較去年同期減少15.6%；經營溢利為2.04億日圓，按年下跌59.8%；經常利潤為1.45億日圓，按年減少67.4%。股東應佔方面，期內合併中期淨利潤為9,300萬日圓，其中歸屬非控股股東的中期淨利潤為1.52億日圓，因此歸屬母公司股東的中期淨虧損為5,900萬日圓。 集團表示，期內收益下降主要由於關西
- AGORA HG發佈2026財年中期：客群多元化見成效 核心酒店業務展韌性香港, 2026年9月29日 - 8月13日，日本酒店集團 Agora Hospitality Group（以下簡稱「 Agora HG」或「集團」）公佈2026年12月期中期業績。期內受大阪・關西世博會入境遊特需效應消退，以及中國訪日旅行需求減少等因素影響，集團營業額及利潤較去年同期回落，但整體經營基調向好，客群多元化持續推進，整體客房單價（ADR）高於去年同期，核心酒店業務仍具韌性，財務結構維持穩健。 短期因素擾動 關西收入待回穩 主要業績數據顯示，2026 年 12 月期中期，集團營業額為42.17億日圓，較去年同期減少15.6%；經營溢利為2.04億日圓，按年下跌59.8%；經常利潤為1.45億日圓，按年減少67.4%。股東應佔方面，期內合併中期淨利潤為9,300萬日圓，其中歸屬非控股股東的中期淨利潤為1.52億日圓，因此歸屬母公司股東的中期淨虧損為5,900萬日圓。 集團表示，期內收益下降主要由於關西地區酒店收入減少。除 Agora Place 大阪難波租賃合同期滿外，部分既有酒店收入亦低於去年同期；儘管新酒店開業帶來新增收益貢獻，但仍未能完全彌補上述減收影響。 利潤方面，除收益下降拖累外，本期計提約1.3億日圓股票報酬費用，亦是壓低經營溢利的重要因素。經常利潤大幅下滑，主要源於經營溢利減少，以及營業外費用中利息支出與按權益法核算的投資損失增加；營業外收益中確認了匯兌收益及收取補償金。集團IR負責人指出，雖然大阪・關西世博會相關特需消退及股票報酬費用等帶來短期影響，但核心酒店業務仍持續保持韌性。 客群多元化推進 ADR高於去年同期 儘管業績受壓，集團客群結構更趨均衡。2026年12月期中期，外國住客客房數佔比由去年同期的68.6%下降至62.5%，日本住客佔比則由31.4%上升至37.5%。外國住客的國別／地區構成亦出現變化，北美、韓國、台灣、東南亞等地需求持續擴大，在一定程度上緩解了中國住客減少帶來的影響，反映外國住客構成正由依賴單一市場向更具多元性的需求結構轉變。 營運指標方面，按可比酒店口徑，本中期集團整體客房入住率（OCC）為84.1%，較去年同期下降3.2個百分點，主要受去年大阪・關西世博會帶來的特殊需求消退，大阪地區入住率出現下降；但東京、京都地區主要酒店的入住率仍維持較高水準。集團整體客房單價（ADR）為19,786日圓，較去年同期上升1.8%。大阪、京都地區為確保入住率進行了價格調整，東京地區ADR的上升則帶動集團整體水準高於去年同期。 財務結構改善 借貸長期化降短期壓力 資產負債方面，截至2026年6月末，Agora HG總資產為203.98億日圓，較2025年末減少5.9億日圓，主要由於有形固定資產、無形固定資產、現金及存款、應收賬款減少所致；另一方面，流動資產中開發事業等支出金增加1.17億日圓。 有息負債為87.43億日圓，較2025年末減少1.7億日圓，淨有息負債基本持平；淨D/E比率為0.97倍。自有資本比率由2025年末的26.7%上升至27.4%，固定長期適合率為97.9%，顯示其長期資金匹配度持續優化，財務穩定性進一步增強。 現金流方面，期內經營活動現金流錄得約280萬日圓淨流出，整體接近收支平衡；籌資活動現金流由去年同期的淨流入轉為淨流出，錄得1.73億日圓支出，主要由長期借款償還所致，期末現金及現金等價物為32.77億日圓。從借款構成看，1年內到期長期借款較2025年末減少8.04億日圓，長期借款則增加6.34億日圓，借款期限結構呈現長期化。集團表示，隨著短期到期規模下降，流動性壓力相應減輕，融資結構更趨健康，為後續穩定經營及戰略佈局築牢資金基礎。 展望：把握多元需求 致力持續成長 展望未來，Agora HG表示，隨著日本入境遊市場由世博會特需過渡至正常需求環境，集團將以東京、京都及大阪等主要城市為核心，持續拓展業務佈局，並推進客群多元化及營運效率提升。北美、韓國、台灣及東南亞等地需求持續擴大，外國住客結構更趨多元，集團將把握相關機遇，鞏固多元需求基礎；若未來中國訪日旅行需求回升，營業額有望進一步增長。 集團亦將繼續維持財務穩健，推進業務組合優化及酒店營運效率化，致力提升核心酒店業務的盈利能力，支援長期穩定發展。
