Leoch International Technology Limited (LEOCH INT'L) has alerted shareholders that it expects to report a loss attributable to owners of no more than RMB300.00 million for the year ended 31 December 2025, reversing the profit recorded in 2024.

The board attributes the anticipated downturn to three main factors:

1. Tariff impact: Additional U.S. import tariffs imposed since the second quarter of 2025 altered the Group’s order mix and drove a significant rise in export costs to the United States.

2. Cost pressures from expansion: Ongoing quality upgrades and capacity expansion during 2025 led to heightened raw-material consumption and a year-on-year increase in unit production costs as new products and production lines were launched.

3. First-half drag: Profit attributable to owners fell 61.7% year on year in the first half of 2025, setting a weaker base for full-year performance.

The projected figures are derived from the Group’s unaudited management accounts and may be subject to change. Final audited results are scheduled for release on or before 31 March 2026.

Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in LEOCH INT'L shares pending the publication of the final annual results.
