Key Highlights from the Announcement
- SSY Group Limited (Stock Code: 2005) expects a substantial reduction in profit for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Factors Contributing to the Profit Reduction
- Decline in Turnover:

- Medical insurance cost controls have further impacted sales volumes throughout the year.
- Price Pressure from Procurement Initiatives:
- Expansion of volume-based procurement schemes, including National Centralised Medicines Procurement and local alliance procurement, intensified price competition.
- Domestic and international industry competition has further exacerbated price pressures.
