Financial Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025

Revenue

The Company's revenue for the six months ended increased from US$ 36 million in the first half in 2024 to US$89.0 million in the first half in 2025. The increment was primarily attributable to: -

• Hotel operations, hospitality and VIP services income rose from US$7.9 million to US$12.7 million, representing a 60.3% growth.
  
  
• Dividend and gain related to disposed financial assets at fair value through profit or loss changed from US$8.7 million, to US$8.6 million.
  
  
• Net fair value changes on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss rose from US$7.2 million to US$56.2 million. The increase was mainly attributable to the unrealized gain on the Company's investment portfolio in the first half in 2025.

Other Income And Gains

Other income decreased from US$37.5 million for the comparable period in 2024 to US$15.7 million for the current period, mainly due to the disposal of the entire equity interests in certain of the Company's subsidiaries engaging in non-core business during 2024.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased by 22.4% as compared to the same period in prior year to US$20.6 million, primarily attributable to an increase in the Company's hotels' depreciation charges and other operating costs recognized from the Company's hotels in line with the increase in revenue generated from the Company's hotel operation, as well as the capital expenditures required to launch the Company's L'Officiel Coffee in Japan.

Staff Costs

Profit For The Period

The Company recorded a profit of US$68.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, a growth of 63.7% as compared to the comparable period in 2024, mainly resulting from the additional contribution recognized from the Company's hospitality businesses and the gain on its investment portfolio.
