The Group's revenue decreased by 16.6% to HK$668.3 million (FY2022 interim: HK$801.6 million). At EBITDA level, the Group decreased by 25.5% to HK$229.7 million (FY2022 interim: HK$308.2 million).

Hong Kong Operation
Revenue from Hong Kong operation decreased by 21.5% to HK$492.4 million (FY2022 interim: HK$627.5 million), owing partly to the suspension of business on 1 April 2022 to 20 April 2022 as well as the slower recovery in the first quarter when we resumed our business operation. Following the ease of pandemic, second quarter in Hong Kong marked a 52.1% growth in revenue quarter-on-quarter.
As of 30 September 2022, the Group has a well established network of service centres in Hong Kong covering a total of 189,000 square feet. During the period, the Group has opened an additional service centre in Yuen Long to capture additional demand in the surrounding areas.
With the gradual resumption of business in last few months, we witnessed a progressive improvement in customer spending and shop utilisation in the aesthetic medical business. Continual effort were made through the combination of online and offline marketing to reach out to existing and new customers.
As for the medical business, our current scope comprises a range of complementary services including hair growth treatment, pain treatment, health screening service and others, which allows the Company to enjoy additional revenue stream from the existing customers through cross-selling and further reinforces the Group's image as a one-stop shop for your beauty and medical in Hong Kong.
Regions outside Hong Kong
Revenue from regions outside Hong Kong increased by 1.0% to HK$175.9 million (FY2022 interim: HK$174.1 million), impacted substantially by the suspension of business in China and Macau but compensated by the encouraging performance in both Singapore and Australia. As of 30 September 2022, the Group has an extensive network in China, Macau, Sydney, Melbourne and Singapore, covering a gross service area of approximately 118,000 square feet.
For the period under review, our business in China continued to record decent profit amid the difficult circumstance. Currently, the Group focuses on the first tier cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen to maintain superior branding in the industry. During the period, the Group has opened two shops in strategic locations in Guangzhou and Beijing to strengthen our presence.
Prospects
Dr. Au-Yeung Kong, the executive director, chairman and chief executive officer of Perfect Medical, said that "as a home-grown enterprise which has been established for more than 19 years, the Group is confident on the long term prospect of our aesthetic medical and medical service business model. In future, the Group will expand both organically and inorganically to offer additional and complementary services to our customers.
While the pandemic fluctuation is going to be short-term, the Company will be cautiously expanding our geographical coverage and replicating our success in mainland China and overseas in the coming years, taking advantage on our efficient business model.
Looking ahead, the Company will increase the proportion of medical services and proceed with its international business expansion, with a view to becoming a truly multinational medical group."
