Turnover reached HK$11.89 billion, reflecting a 10% decline compared to the same period last year, while revenue stood at HK$11.68 billion, down 7%. Profit from operations was HK$1.31 billion, a 38% decrease. However, profit attributable to equity shareholders rose 13% to HK$2.03 billion, translating into basic earnings per share of HK$6.23.

Segment-wise, the Principal Investment segment achieved pre-tax profit of HK$1.26 billion.

The Hospitality and Leisure segment posted growth in several businesses but also saw an impairment of HK$1.27 billion mainly pertaining to the UK gaming operations. A separate impairment of HK$74.90 million was recognized in the health products unit following reassessment of the international market outlook.
GuocoLand Limited registered lower property development revenue due to project delivery schedules. Nonetheless, higher rental income from its Singapore commercial portfolio helped moderate the decrease. The Clermont Hotel Group posted increased revenue from strong occupancy and higher average room rates, and The Rank Group Plc, despite revenue gains across its gaming channels, incurred a one-time loss from a payment fraud incident and recorded the aforementioned impairment charge.
