• Revenue climbed 11.9% year-on-year to US$1.14 billion, driven by a 22.5% increase in alumina sales volume to about 2.64 million tons. Average selling price fell 8.7% to US$432 per ton, reflecting softer market conditions.
• Gross profit declined 7.5% to US$477.99 million as gross margin narrowed to 41.9% from 50.6%, mainly due to lower selling prices and higher raw-material costs.
• Profit for the year fell 8.6% to US$418.10 million. A US$50.23 million Pillar Two top-up tax charge lifted total tax expense 41.4% to US$61.23 million.
• Profit attributable to shareholders edged up 1.6% to US$408.43 million, but basic EPS dropped to US$0.72 from US$0.94 after the March 2025 share subdivision and enlarged share base.
• The Board declared a final dividend of HK$0.41 per share; combined with the HK$0.65 interim payout, full-year distribution totals HK$1.06 per share.
• Cash and cash equivalents stood at US$321.30 million (-29.3% YoY) after US$392.20 million of capital expenditure, chiefly for the two-million-ton New Alumina Production Project, which reached full capacity in 4Q25. Net current assets improved to US$388.87 million, while the Group remained debt-free.
• Property, plant and equipment rose 44.1% to US$1.40 billion, reflecting continued investment in Indonesian production facilities. Inventories more than doubled to US$212.13 million to support expanded capacity.
• Sales were geographically diversified: Hong Kong 38% of revenue, Malaysia 37%, India 13%, Switzerland 6%, with the balance from Singapore, the U.S. and Indonesia.
• Looking ahead, management highlighted near-term price pressure—international alumina averaged US$391 per ton in 2025 and dropped to roughly US$307 per ton by mid-March 2026. To mitigate market volatility and enhance vertical integration, the Group is advancing a 250,000-ton-per-year electrolytic aluminium project in Indonesia, with potential expansion to 500,000 tons.
• Post-balance-sheet event: in January 2026 the Company raised net proceeds of around HK$1.99 billion via a top-up placement; 90% is earmarked for electrolytic aluminium construction, with the remainder for working capital.
