Segment performance • Property: Profit halved to HK$289 million, reflecting lower sales recognition and weaker exchange gains.

Cash flow and balance sheet • Cash and deposits stood at HK$9.52 billion (-HK$40 million versus end-2025). • Gross bank borrowings totalled HK$15.74 billion; net borrowings were HK$6.18 billion. • Gearing ratio eased to 19.7% from 20.7%. • 41% of borrowings mature within one year. • Secured debt was HK$4.58 billion, backed by pledged assets of HK$11.15 billion.

Capital actions and commitments • Disposal of designated office and retail space at the Hengqin Integrated Development to SJM — Investment Limited for RMB724 million progressed to governmental approval; completion expected 2H 2026. • Outstanding commitments include HK$25 million for Ocean Park Adventure Zone and US$41 million (HK$318 million) to Perennial HC Holdings.

Outlook Management remains “cautiously positive,” citing policy support for culture-tourism integration in the Greater Bay Area. Near-term focus will be on boosting investment-property occupancy, completing the Hengqin disposal, and executing hospitality expansion—highlighted by a new Xi’an hotel slated for 2029.
