Echo International Holdings Group Limited (Stock Code: 8218) released its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2025, recording revenue of approximately HK$16.62 million. This figure represents a 55.93% decrease compared to the same period in 2024. The company reported a loss attributable to owners of approximately HK$2.11 million, in contrast to a profit of about HK$1.73 million in the prior year. Basic and diluted loss per share reached around HK0.32 cents, while the comparable period last year recorded earnings per share of HK0.26 cents.
According to the announcement, the drop in overall revenue stemmed primarily from a decrease in sales of electronic products, down by roughly HK$14.28 million year-on-year. Demand for higher-margin items, such as certain fishing indicator products, was notably weaker. Meanwhile, the food catering segment saw revenue of around HK$3.68 million, a notable decline from HK$10.50 million in the previous year, partly attributed to shifts in consumer behavior.
Management reported a lower gross profit margin of about 20.31%, compared to 25.32% for the same period last year, mostly due to the decrease in higher-margin sales. Administrative and other expenses also dropped from around HK$9.78 million to HK$7.96 million, reflecting reduced commission-related costs and lower exchange losses. As of 30 September 2025, the company held net current assets of approximately HK$15.40 million together with cash and bank balances of HK$3.93 million, and did not recommend an interim dividend for the period.
