China Resources Beverage (Holdings) Company Limited (CR Beverage, 02460.HK) has warned shareholders and potential investors that profit attributable to owners for the year ended 31 December 2025 is anticipated to contract by roughly 40% versus the RMB1.64 billion recorded in 2024, implying full-year earnings of around RMB0.98 billion.
Management cites several factors for the earnings shortfall: • Strategic increase in marketing expenditure aligned with the Group’s medium- to long-term development plan. • Ongoing product-mix adjustments and channel transformation initiatives. • Continued pressure on the packaged-water segment. • Beverage-business growth lagging internal expectations.
The figures are based on unaudited management accounts and may be subject to adjustment. Audited results will be released before end-March 2026. The Board advises investors to exercise caution when dealing in the Company’s shares.
