Jiangsu Horizon Chain Supermarket Company Limited reported its first full-year results as a Hong Kong-listed company for the twelve months ended 31 December 2025.

• Revenue climbed 14.3% year on year to RMB 1.54 billion (2024: RMB 1.35 billion), underpinned by a 20.4% surge in wholesale sales to RMB 878.75 million and a 9.5% rise in general retail sales to RMB 554.02 million. Meal-supply turnover advanced 38.1% to RMB 23.31 million. Bulk retail sales, concessionaire commissions and rental income contracted by 8.6%, 12.3% and 14.6% respectively.

• Gross profit was stable at RMB 289.30 million, but the margin narrowed to 18.7% (-2.7 percentage points) as high-end liquor sales softened and promotional activity intensified.

• Profit for the year declined 13.0% to RMB 38.24 million, weighed by RMB 12.55 million in listing expenses and a RMB 10.51 million impairment charge on receivables, partly offset by lower staff costs.

• Basic and diluted earnings per share fell to RMB 0.18 from RMB 0.27. No final dividend was proposed.

• Operating cash outflow totalled RMB 77.0 million versus an inflow of RMB 140.1 million a year earlier. Cash and cash equivalents stood at RMB 238.43 million at year-end.

• Total assets rose to RMB 1.81 billion, while the current ratio improved to 1.47 (2024: 1.36). Net gearing eased to 81.1%, down from 86.6%, despite total borrowings of RMB 599.38 million.

• Capital expenditure reached RMB 74.50 million, focused on store upgrades, distribution and meal-service capacity.

• During the year Jiangsu Horizon completed its HK$92.55 million IPO in March and a HK$62.04 million share placement in December. Net proceeds are earmarked for new store openings, a distribution centre, a central kitchen and a capital injection into Haike Hongxin Digital Technology.

The board reiterated its expansion plans across retail outlets, logistics infrastructure and meal-processing capacity, while highlighting ongoing investments in omni-channel capabilities and automation.
