On July 28, YANCHENG PORT issued an announcement. Based on available information and a preliminary assessment of the group's unaudited consolidated management accounts for the six months ending June 30, 2026 (the reporting period), the company expects to record a loss of approximately HK$7.9 million for the period. This represents a reduction of about 70.6% compared to the loss of approximately HK$26.9 million recorded in the six months ending June 30, 2025 (the prior corresponding period). The loss is primarily attributed to: (i) growth in the scale of the trading business and a significant improvement in profit margins; (ii) an increase in revenue from the petrochemical products warehousing business segment, while costs and expenses remained stable; and (iii) a disposal gain from completing the sale of a subsidiary during the reporting period.

For the reporting period, the company expects to record revenue of approximately HK$640 million, an increase of about 24.3% compared to the revenue of approximately HK$515 million recorded in the prior corresponding period. The increase in revenue is primarily driven by the expansion of the trading business and steady growth in petrochemical storage income.
