Goldstream Investment Limited announced that, based on preliminary unaudited figures for the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group expects to post a loss attributable to equity holders of between HK$4.00 million and HK$9.00 million. The company recorded a profit of HK$67.00 million in the prior year.
Management attributes the anticipated loss primarily to a one-off, non-cash share-based compensation expense of approximately HK$82.00–90.00 million related to option grants to directors and senior management.
Excluding this charge, as well as share-based expenses recorded in 2024 and a HK$32.00 million one-off loan interest income recognised in 2024, the Group projects an adjusted profit (non-IFRS) of HK$78.00–88.00 million for 2025, up sharply from HK$36.00 million a year earlier.
Key operational movements underlying the adjusted result include: 1. Investment management service income rising to HK$42.00–47.00 million (2024: HK$25.53 million). 2. Net fair value gains from direct investments under the Strategic Direct Investment (SDI) segment increasing to HK$52.00–56.00 million (2024: HK$28.43 million). 3. Net fair value gains from strategic investments under the SDI segment decreasing to HK$22.00–24.00 million (2024: HK$42.19 million). 4. Share of profit of associates swinging to a profit of HK$20.00–25.00 million (2024: loss of HK$0.77 million). 5. Operating expenses edging higher to HK$64.00–72.00 million (2024: HK$63.25 million).
The figures are based on management’s preliminary assessment of unaudited accounts and may change after audit and board review. Final results are scheduled for release by the end of March 2026. Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the company’s securities.
