Leadway Technology Investment Group Limited (LEADWAY TECH, 02086) has issued a profit warning, projecting a consolidated net loss not exceeding HK$6.00 million for the financial year ended 31 December 2025. The Group posted a net profit of HK$3.70 million in FY2024.
Revenue Drivers • Turnover is expected to decline 9.00% year on year to HK$91.50 million (FY2024: HK$100.30 million). Management attributes the shortfall to weaker global demand, continued tariff disputes and heightened geopolitical uncertainty, which resulted in reduced customer orders.
Cost Dynamics • Staff costs are projected to rise 13.00% to HK$33.60 million (FY2024: HK$29.80 million), stemming from a sales-incentive programme and additional hires in technical and R&D functions. • Administrative expenses are set to surge 65.00% to HK$19.20 million (FY2024: HK$12.00 million), driven by: – Back-office system upgrades and product-portfolio diversification, including R&D spending of approximately HK$4.70 million; – A net exchange loss of about HK$2.00 million due to Renminbi appreciation against the Hong Kong dollar.
Reporting Timeline The unaudited figures are based on management’s preliminary assessment and remain subject to audit and final adjustments. The full FY2025 results are scheduled for release by end-March 2026.
Cautionary Note Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Company’s shares pending the official results announcement.
