The firm compared the current year results with the nine months ended Dec. 31, 2023, due to a change in the financial year end date.

The retail operator's revenue for the year increased by 8.2% to HK$2.81 billion from HK$1.93 billion in the three quarters ended Dec. 31, 2023, mainly due to additional revenue from the net opening of nine new stores.
