The board proposed a final dividend of 0.20 HK cents per share and a special dividend of 0.30 HK cents per share.

The revenue growth was primarily driven by increased income from tuition fees, school canteen operations, and accommodation fees. Tuition fee revenue climbed 15.1%, while canteen operation fees and accommodation fees rose 12.5% and 12.9%, respectively. The growth in tuition and canteen fees was attributed to (i) higher student enrollment during the 2024/2025 academic year and (ii) an increase in average tuition fees across the group's schools.
