Hong Kong, 12 Mar 2026—The United Laboratories International Holdings Limited (UNITED LAB, 03933) issued a profit warning indicating that unaudited consolidated net profit for the year ended 31 Dec 2025 is expected to be about RMB2.00 billion, down from RMB2.66 billion in 2024—a year-on-year decline of roughly 24.8%.
The company cited lower market prices for its Intermediate Products and Bulk Medicine as the principal drag on earnings:
• Intermediate Products: segment profit fell by approximately RMB1.60 billion. • Bulk Medicine: segment profit contracted by roughly RMB0.40 billion.
These setbacks were partly offset by stronger performance in Finished Products, where segment profit rose by about RMB1.40 billion. Within this increase, a license-fee contribution of around RMB1.30 billion from Novo Nordisk A/S played a dominant role.
Management noted that the figures are based on internal management accounts prepared under Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards and have neither been reviewed by the audit committee nor audited. Final audited results will be released in the forthcoming 2025 annual results announcement and annual report.
The board advised shareholders and potential investors to exercise caution when dealing in the company’s shares.
