Convenience Retail Asia Limited (the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”, stock code: 00831) announced that, based on a preliminary review of unaudited consolidated management accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025, the profit attributable to shareholders is expected to record an over 40% year-on-year increase from HK$23.9 million in 2024.

According to the announcement, the rise was mainly driven by non-recurring restructuring expenses related to the Guangzhou retail bakery business in 2024 and cost-optimisation measures applied to the bakery and eyewear operations. Despite the improved figures, the Group remains cautious due to ongoing headwinds in Hong Kong’s retail sector, marked by changes in consumer spending patterns and frequent outbound travel by local residents.

The Group’s final results for 2025 are expected to be published in March 2026. Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when trading shares of the Company.
