Hong Kong – Want Want China Holdings Limited announced that it anticipates a notable downturn for the three months ended 30 June 2026, flagging a 6% year-on-year fall in revenue and a 38% contraction in profit attributable to equity holders.

The shortfall stems chiefly from softening consumer sentiment that weighed on traditional wholesale channels, which historically contribute over half of the Group’s turnover. These channels saw a double-digit revenue decline during the quarter as distributors grappled with slower sell-through at points of sale.

Cost pressures compounded the top-line weakness. Operating expenses advanced at a high single-digit rate versus the prior-year period, driven by higher advertising, promotion and employee costs tied to newly created product-category business units.

Management cautioned that if current trends persist, performance for the six months ending 30 September 2026 will likely remain under pressure. In response, the Group plans to: • Reassess product allocation across sales channels. • Introduce higher-margin products and provide market-development support to distributors. • Refine distributor incentive schemes to stimulate sell-through momentum.

The figures released are based on unaudited management accounts. Formal interim results for the six months ending 30 September 2026 are slated for publication in November 2026. Shareholders and potential investors are urged to exercise caution when dealing in the Company’s shares.
