Central China New Life Limited (abbrev. CC New Life) released its audited results for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Financial Performance • Revenue: RMB 2,768.45 million, down 6.2% year-on-year, as weaker community value-added and non-property-owner services offset stable property-management income.

• Gross profit: RMB 543.95 million, down 15.1%; gross margin slipped to 19.6% from 21.7%, mainly on lower margin in property-management services.

• Net profit: RMB 167.13 million, down 29.8%; net margin contracted to 6.0% (2024: 8.1%). Profit attributable to shareholders declined to RMB 157.48 million, while core net profit eased 4.6% to RMB 280.40 million.

• Basic EPS: RMB 0.12 (2024: RMB 0.17).

Operating Highlights • Gross floor area under management decreased 1.2% to 194.58 million sq m after the exit of several unprofitable projects.

• Property-management revenue was broadly flat at RMB 2,299.54 million, accounting for 83.1% of total revenue. Community value-added services fell 21.0% to RMB 430.34 million, while value-added services to non-property owners dropped 64.5% to RMB 38.57 million.

• Net impairment losses on financial and contract assets almost doubled to RMB 138.20 million, reflecting slower fee collection amid a weak property market.

Balance-sheet and Liquidity • Cash and cash equivalents fell to RMB 413.40 million (2024: RMB 1,190.15 million).
