Lotus Horizon Holdings Limited Issues Profit Warning for FY2026
Key Highlights
- Significant Turnaround from Profit to Loss: Lotus Horizon Holdings Limited (Stock code: 6063) has announced that it expects to record a consolidated net loss of approximately HK\$3.5 million for the financial year ended 31 March 2026. This marks a sharp reversal from the audited consolidated net profit of approximately HK\$3.2 million reported for the previous year ended 31 March 2025.
- Revenue Decline: The Group anticipates a decrease in revenue of about 13.3% compared to the previous year. This decline is attributed to slower-than-expected progress on certain key construction projects during the financial year.
- Margin Compression: The company is experiencing lower gross profit margins on newly awarded projects. This is primarily due to intensified competition in the Hong Kong market, which has pressured pricing and profitability.
- Unaudited Results: The figures disclosed are based on preliminary unaudited management accounts and other currently available information. These have not yet been reviewed by independent auditors or the audit committee and are subject to adjustments.
- Final Results Pending: The final, audited results are expected to be published in June 2026.
Details for Shareholders and Investors
Shareholders and potential investors should be aware that the anticipated loss for FY2026 is a material and potentially price-sensitive event. The shift from a net profit to a net loss is significant and could impact investor sentiment, as well as the market valuation of the company’s shares.
The primary drivers for this financial downturn are:
- A notable year-on-year revenue decrease, primarily due to construction delays on major projects.
- Heightened competition leading to less favorable contract terms and compressed gross profit margins on new business.
The company is in the process of finalizing its annual results, and the figures in this announcement may be adjusted following the completion of the audit process. Investors are strongly advised to review the official annual results announcement when released in June 2026 for the most accurate and comprehensive information.
The Board also explicitly advises all shareholders and potential investors to exercise caution when dealing in the company’s shares given this profit warning and the uncertainties that remain until the final audited results are published.
Board Composition
As of the date of this announcement, the board of directors comprises Mr. CHU Kwok Fun (Chairman and Chief Executive Officer), Mr. CHEN Shu An as executive Director, and Ms. LEUNG Yin Fai, Mr. MA Tsz Chun, and Ms. YUEN Wai Yee as independent non-executive Directors.
Potential Share Price Impact
The disclosure of an expected net loss as opposed to a profit is a price-sensitive event that could lead to negative share price movement. Investors and stakeholders should monitor market developments and further company disclosures closely.
