Revenue and product mix • Revenue slipped 1.20% year on year to HK$898.11 million, weighed by a HK$11.64 million decline in daily-use candles and a HK$51.83 million drop in “Others” (mainly diffusers). • Scented candles remained the core growth driver, advancing HK$35.67 million to HK$639.25 million and now represent 71.2% of total sales. • Geographically, the United States contributed HK$777.79 million (86.6% of group revenue) while the United Kingdom delivered HK$109.16 million.
Profitability • Gross profit contracted 19.34% to HK$283.94 million; gross margin narrowed to 31.6% from 38.7% due to lower selling prices and higher production costs. • Administrative expenses dropped HK$32.09 million (-22.13%) to HK$112.90 million, reflecting tighter cost controls. • Other gains swung to a HK$12.76 million net loss, mainly from a HK$15.34 million impairment on trade receivables and the absence of the HK$29.71 million provision reversal booked in 2024. • Finance costs eased 6.62% to HK$10.99 million. • Net profit fell 40.78% to HK$101.47 million; basic EPS declined to 11.05 HK cents from 17.58 HK cents. • No dividend was declared.
