The E-commerce and retail segment recorded HK$59.5 million in revenue, down 27.3% year-on-year. The company attributes these declines to deferred campaign executions in its media business and adjusted strategies in its e-commerce operation, including efforts to optimize inventory.
Cost efficiency measures resulted in lower selling and marketing expenses and administrative and operating expenses, reflecting the company’s focus on operational streamlining. Cash and cash equivalents as of 30 September 2025 amounted to HK$190.0 million, driven in part by withdrawals from time deposits. The company highlights a seasonal uplift expectation for its E-commerce and retail segment and a planned Landmark store reopening in December 2025.
