Mar 30

Million Cities Holdings Limited released its audited results for the year ended 31 December 2025 (FY2025).

Financial performance • Revenue fell 35.9% year-on-year to RMB 63.89 million, driven by lower sales of remaining completed units. • Gross loss narrowed to RMB 6.02 million from RMB 17.13 million in FY2024, reflecting a markedly smaller inventory write-down. • Loss attributable to equity shareholders decreased 82.0% to RMB 20.53 million; basic and diluted loss per share was 2.74 RMB cents (FY2024: 15.18 RMB cents). • No final dividend was proposed.

Key drivers of earnings improvement • Impairment on inventories and associates’ assets declined sharply versus FY2024. • Administrative expenses were cut by 50.5% to RMB 20.75 million following staff cost and professional fee reductions. • A tax credit of RMB 25.81 million was recorded, mainly from reversal of prior-year over-provisions, compared with a RMB 20.64 million charge in FY2024. • Share of associates’ losses reduced to RMB 23.53 million (FY2024: RMB 64.95 million) due to lower inventory impairments and absence of new receivable provisions.

Key contributors were Million Cities International and Million Cities Legend Phase 3 in Huizhou, plus Million Cities Tycoon Place in Tianjin. • Rental income grew to RMB 6.52 million (FY2024: RMB 5.34 million). • Group-level and associates’ contracted sales totalled RMB 116.00 million on 18,378 sq.m. of gross floor area.

Outlook Management expects the Chinese property market to move toward “mild adjustment and partial stabilisation,” guided by policies that prioritise de-stocking and quality improvement. Focus remains on prudent cash-flow management, inventory digestion and exploration of light-asset opportunities such as industrial-park and property-management projects.
