ORIENTAL E H (00018) announced that it expects to record an unaudited consolidated net profit attributable to shareholders of no more than HK$2 million for the six months ending September 30, 2025, compared to approximately HK$25.098 million in the same period last year.

The board attributed the decline in unaudited consolidated net profit primarily to: 1. Reduced revenue from the group's media and lending businesses due to unfavorable macroeconomic conditions; 2. A provision of approximately HK$6.144 million for expected credit losses on receivables from loans and interest, reflecting settlement arrangements made in consideration of declining collateral values for certain loans.
