D MODERN Dental Group MODERN DENTAL GROUP LIMITED 現代 牙科 集團 有限公司 ( Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability ) ( Stock Code : 3600 ) ANNOUNCEMENT OF INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 , DIVIDEND AND CLOSURE OF REGISTER OF MEMBERS For the first half of 2021 , the Group capitalised on the industry - wide pent - up demand for dental products and services as a result of significant tailwinds generated by an increase in spending by consumers on specialty dental treatments and tailwinds driven by the digitalisation of , and the adoption of intra - oral scanners in , the dental market . Furthermore , the Group benefited from a significant increase in new clients in certain key markets , as the lasting effects of the pandemic continued to disproportionately affect our smaller and mid - scaled competitors leading to , in the Group's view , an increase in market share in the applicable markets . As the global leader in the dental prosthetics industry , the Group is in an ideal position to take advantage of the aforementioned trends . The Group's results represent a strong and continued recovery in the dental market and solid execution across each of the Group's markets operationally and financially , as most of the Group's key and applicable metrics have improved significantly beyond pre - pandemic levels illustrating the Group's competitiveness in the industry , ability to thrive under uncertain business conditions and close relationship with its clients and customers . To put it simply , the Group refused to stand still during the first half of 2021 as it manoeuvres its way out of , and emerges from , the pandemic in a stronger and improved form . Notwithstanding the resurgence of COVID - 19 in certain markets , the Group is confident that the underlying fundamentals of its business are solid and that it is well - positioned to capture further opportunities going forward . -1-
