Creative China Holdings Limited released audited results for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Revenue and Profitability • Revenue fell 6.6% year-on-year to RMB 141.21 million, attributable to fewer script copyrights and programmes sold. • Gross profit climbed 14.8% to RMB 54.94 million; gross margin improved to 38.9% (2024: 31.7%), reflecting lower direct costs in serial programme/film production. • Net profit attributable to shareholders jumped 83.4% to RMB 44.64 million, supported by a RMB 4.06 million gain on disposal of subsidiaries and a RMB 2.51 million net reversal of ECL provisions. • Basic and diluted EPS rose to 7.73 RMB cents (2024: 4.28 RMB cents).

Segment Performance Serial programme/film production and film rights investment remained the core business, generating 99.5% of group revenue (RMB 140.55 million). Concert and event income contributed RMB 0.25 million, while live-streaming e-commerce added RMB 0.41 million. Artist management recorded no revenue in 2025.

Cost and Expense Dynamics • Direct costs dropped 16.5% to RMB 86.27 million. • Selling and distribution expenses decreased 16.7% to RMB 1.93 million. • Administrative expenses contracted 31.3% to RMB 13.61 million, mainly due to the absence of intangible-asset amortisation recorded in 2024. • Finance costs were largely stable at RMB 1.00 million.

Balance Sheet Highlights • Total assets reached RMB 456.74 million (2024: RMB 410.86 million). • Net current assets stood at RMB 350.17 million; current ratio strengthened to 4.33x (2024: 3.94x). • Cash and cash equivalents were RMB 11.63 million. • Total borrowings (bank loans plus related-party and director loans) were RMB 36.96 million, resulting in a gearing ratio of 7.2% (2024: 6.6%).
