What This Means for Investors

The dramatic turnaround from a HK\$212 million loss before tax in FY2024 to an expected HK\$30 million profit in FY2025 represents a major shift in the Company’s financial performance. The improvement is mainly driven by significant net unrealized gains on financial assets, the reversal of impairment losses, and a strong share of profit from associates, partially offset by losses on asset disposals and fair value losses on investment properties.

The scale of this improvement is potentially price-sensitive and may positively affect the Company’s share value as the market digests this news. Investors are urged to monitor the release of the audited results in March 2026 for confirmation and further details.
