eSun Holdings Limited (stock code: 571) reported a turnover of HK$779.6 million for the financial year ended 31 July 2025, down from HK$1,167.5 million in the previous year. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributed to a decline in both film and TV program income, as well as reduced media and entertainment revenues, partially offset by a slight increase from cinema operations.
The Group recorded a net loss of HK$14.5 million, a significant improvement compared with a net loss of HK$525.7 million in the previous year. Net loss attributable to owners stood at HK$12.8 million, compared with HK$510.9 million last year. Basic and diluted loss per share amounted to HK$0.007 (previous year: HK$0.291). No final dividend was proposed.
Cinema operations achieved HK$445.1 million in turnover, an increase of around 1.3% from the prior year. The Group operates fourteen cinemas in Hong Kong and one in the Chinese Mainland. Management attributed the slight growth in box-office takings to strong-performing titles, despite challenging market conditions such as changing consumer habits and high costs.
Media and entertainment revenue totaled HK$287.9 million, down from HK$387.1 million. A total of 45 live shows featuring local and Asian artistes were staged during the period. The music segment released works by various artistes and continued to earn licensing income. Artiste management oversaw 13 talents, while the film and TV program segment recorded a decline due to fewer major releases, contributing HK$46.6 million in turnover compared with HK$341.0 million previously.
As of 31 July 2025, the Group’s total cash and bank balances stood at HK$482.5 million. After netting off total borrowings of HK$275.8 million, the Group remained in a net cash position of HK$206.7 million. The management confirmed that no final dividend is recommended for the year under review.
