BOYAA (00434) announced that the group's profit attributable to owners for the first nine months of 2025 is expected to increase by approximately 105% to 115% year-on-year (compared to HKD 234 million (restated) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024). This growth is primarily driven by a higher fair value gain on digital assets during the period compared to the same period in 2024.
Excluding non-recurring factors such as fair value fluctuations of financial assets, including digital assets and equity investment partnerships, the group's profit attributable to owners for the first nine months of 2025 is projected to decline by about 30% to 35% year-on-year. This decrease is mainly due to reduced interest income from bank deposits following cryptocurrency purchases, as well as an expected increase in income tax expenses.
