AGTECH HOLDINGS (08279) announced its interim results for the six months ended September 30, 2025. The company recorded revenue of HK$369 million, representing a 36.12% increase year-on-year. However, it reported a loss attributable to shareholders of HK$14.177 million, compared to a profit of HK$1.972 million in the same period last year, marking a shift from profit to loss. The basic loss per share was HK$0.00123.

The revenue growth was primarily driven by the following business segments: a) **Physical and Digital Banking Business**: Revenue for this segment increased by approximately HK$83.3 million to HK$90.1 million during the six-month period. This was mainly due to the full consolidation of Ant Bank (Macau)'s financial statements for the entire period, compared to only about one month of consolidation in the prior-year period following its acquisition. The revenue included interest income of around HK$70.8 million from personal and corporate loans, interbank deposits, and financial instruments issued by the Monetary Authority of Macau, as well as service fee and commission income of approximately HK$19.3 million from securities investment services, account services, and insurance agency services. The segment generated net interest income of about HK$20 million.

b) **Digital Payment and Related Business**: Revenue for this segment, which includes local consumer services and payment-related hardware supply, rose by approximately HK$10.1 million to HK$148 million. The growth was attributed to increased inbound tourism in Macau, higher local digital payment consumption driven by promotional activities such as the "2025 Community Consumption Rewards," and expanded marketing technology services in Macau.

c) **Lottery Business**: Revenue for this segment grew by around HK$4.6 million to HK$131 million, primarily due to the resumption of instant lottery ticket supply by China's lottery regulatory authorities, which boosted revenue from offline lottery distribution and other integrated services by approximately HK$7.2 million.
