Roma (Meta) Group Limited (Stock Code: 8072) reported revenue of approximately HK$32.8 million for the six months ended 30 September 2025, reflecting a 52.9% increase compared to HK$21.45 million in the prior-year period. The rise was mainly driven by increased contributions from securities broking, placing and underwriting, as well as investment advisory and asset management services.
Loss attributable to owners of the company was approximately HK$8.9 million, compared to HK$4.0 million in the corresponding period last year. According to the announcement, this was influenced by higher other expenses (including expected credit loss allowances) and a reduction in other income, other gains and losses partly due to the absence of the one-off gain on a subsidiary disposal recorded last year. Basic loss per share was HK5.5 cents. No dividend was declared.
As of 30 September 2025, net current assets stood at around HK$279.9 million, compared to HK$283.2 million as of 31 March 2025. Bank deposits of approximately HK$29.4 million and an investment property of HK$7.5 million remained pledged for certain borrowings. The gearing ratio (lease liabilities and interest-bearing borrowings divided by total equity) was about 0.22, lower than the 0.27 recorded as of 31 March 2025.
Revenue from valuation and advisory services amounted to HK$12.7 million, financing services contributed HK$1.0 million, and the securities segment generated HK$19.1 million. Management highlighted that the securities-related segment benefitted from the buoyant investment environment and multiple placing projects during the period.
