Liquidity and Defaults Agile Group confirmed it failed to meet scheduled payments on bank loans, other borrowings and senior notes, triggering cross-default provisions.

Cost Control and Impairments Cost of sales declined 10.90% to RMB 12.91 billion, trailing the revenue contraction. Selling expenses jumped 58.90% to RMB 324 million due to higher commission ratios, while administrative expenses fell 23.90% to RMB 536 million following tighter cost controls. The Group booked RMB 1.85 billion of write-downs on properties under development and completed stock, and recorded an RMB 0.87 billion impairment on property, plant and equipment.
