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