HONG KONG, Jun 26, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - IBI Group Holdings Limited (“IBI” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”; Stock Code: 1547), a company focused on investments in the built environment, today announced its audited consolidated results for the year ended 31 March 2025 (“FY2025” or the “year under review”).FY2025 was marked by a challenging global economic environment, which placed significant pressure on the construction industry and resulted in highly competitive tendering conditions. At the same time, global trade tensions triggered unexpected volatility, prompting capital flows to shift towards Asia. This trend has begun to invigorate the Hong Kong market and may help to alleviate some of the pressure on Mainland China's manufacturing sector. Coupled with a strong rebound in inbound tourism and improving market sentiment, these developments have contributed to a more optimistic local outlook. The Group remains confident in Hong Kong’s economic prospects and, with its rigorous risk management, effective cost control, and strategic focus on emerging opportunities, is well positioned to navigate the evolving landscape and drive sustainable growth.During the year under review, the Group demonstrated remarkable resilience and delivered a solid financial performance. Profit attributable to the owners of the Company surged around 23.0 times to approximately HK$8.4 million (FY2024: approximately HK$0.4 million). This increase was mainly attributable to improvement in the Building Solutions segment, the recognition of the unrealised profit generated from financial assets at fair value, and the recognition of a significant fair value loss on investment property in the previous year. Basic and diluted earnings per share was HK1.0 cent (FY2024: HK0.0 cents). The Board has recommended the payment of a final dividend of HK0.5 cents for FY2025 (FY2024: HK0.5 cents).Mr. Neil Howard, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of IBI, said, “Despite the challenging global economic environment, the Group delivered a strong performance in FY2025, with profitability rising significantly. Furthermore, towards the end of the period, the Group successfully secured four large projects with a total value exceeding the entire turnover for FY2025. This notable result highlights the effectiveness of our strategic focus, the depth of our resilience, and our ability to adapt quickly to change. Looking ahead, we will continue to strengthen our business development, respond swiftly to market dynamics, and pursue continuous improvement to drive long-term value creation and deliver sustainable returns to our shareholders.”Business Review1.ContractingIBI provides world-class interior fitting-out and building refurbishment services in Hong Kong and Macau, predominantly acting as the main contractor for clients across many industry sectors. The construction industry remained under pressure for most of the year. Although the Group completed a higher number of projects compared to the previous period, many were smaller in scale, resulting in a decline in turnover. However, through strict cost control and proactive final accounting by the commercial team, the segment delivered a solid set of results despite the challenging environment. During the year under review, the Group recorded profit from contracting of approximately HK$7.4 million (FY2024: approximately HK$15.2 million), completed 12 projects, and was awarded 13 projects.Notably, during the latter part of the period, the Group secured four large projects with a total value exceeding the entire turnover for FY2025. In May 2025, IBI entered into a memorandum of understanding regarding a potential investment in the development of a new central business district covering around 318 hectares in Manila, the Philippines. Leveraging its expertise in construction and project management, the Group will serve as project advisor, overseeing the project and providing professional advice on construction, procurement, and progress. This collaboration supports the Group’s long-term strategy and, if realised, could diversify its income streams and support long-term growth. These projects will lay a strong foundation for FY2026.In Macau, IBI secured its first project since resuming operations. The Group is actively rebuilding relationships with previous clients and aggressively tendering for new projects.2.Building SolutionsThe Group’s subsidiary, Building Solutions Limited (“BSL”), which provides products and services that enhance the performance and well-being of the built environment in order to provide modern, healthy and high-performing spaces for occupants, recorded a significant and continued improvement in its performance. During the year under review, BSL recorded a segment profit of approximately HK$0.6 million (FY2024: segment loss approximately HK$0.3 million), with sales revenue increasing by 58.2% year on year. BSL achieved profitability during FY2025, marking a significant milestone for the start-up. With continued research and identification of new products, the Group believes that the division’s reputation for delivering high-quality building products and services will achieve further growth.3.Strategic InvestmentsThe Group’s strategic investment division was established to efficiently allocate capital into new market sectors and expand its presence in the built environment. During the year under review, the strategic investments division of the Group recorded a segment profit of approximately HK$0.9 million (FY2024: segment loss approximately HK$3.2 million), which was realised from an unrealised fair value gain on its investment in a large real estate investment trust, a Hong Kong-listed company that owns and manages a diversified and high-quality portfolio. Regarding the assets in Japan, specifically the plots of land in Kutchan, Hokkaido, the Group is continuing to analyse the optimum strategy for the site, and is considering expanding the project, as the analysis indicates that a larger-scale development could provide significant economies of scale and a far greater return on investment. Moving forward, the Group will continue to explore potential investment opportunities and looks forward to announcing further successes in this area.4.Property InvestmentsThe Group’s property investment subsidiary focuses on purchasing physical real estate to generate additional income and expand the Group’s geographical presence. The property investment division of the Group recorded a segment profit of approximately HK$2.5 million for FY2025 (FY2024: segment loss approximately HK$8.1 million), maintaining a steady performance and a 100% occupancy rate. During the year under review, the Group engaged a planning architect to survey the West Wing rooftop area and prepare an initial design for additional commercial space. The Group then held a pre-planning meeting with the local government planning office, which gave positive feedback and indicated that it would not object to the construction of an additional floor. This addition would create 2,500sq ft of tenantable space, which is expected to have a positive impact on the property’s valuation.About IBI Group Holdings Limited (stock code: 1547)IBI Group Holdings Limited is a publicly listed holding company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, focused on investments in the Built Environment. The Group’s investments whilst principally centering around the role of contracting, include businesses providing innovative, high quality manufacturing and supply solutions across a diverse range of the built environment.

HONG KONG, Jun 26, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - AEON Credit Service (Asia) Company Limited (“AEON Credit” or the “Group”; Stock Code: 00900) today announced its results for the three months ended 31st May 2025 (“1QFY2025/26” or the “Reporting Period”).During the Reporting Period, the Group’s revenue increased by 3.7% year-on-year to HK$442.2 million, primarily driven by higher interest income. This resulted from steady growth in revolving credit card and personal loan receivables balances, coupled with interest rate increases for loan products under the risk-based pricing mechanism.Operating profit before impairment losses and impairment allowances rose 8.7% to HK$229.7 million, with the cost-to-income ratio decreasing to 44.6% from 47.3% in the first quarter of the previous year (“1QFY2024/25” or the “Previous Period”). Driven by the improved operating efficiency, a decrease in average funding cost and reduced impairment losses and allowances, the Group’s profit after tax increased by 31.3% to HK$109.3 million (1QFY2024/25: HK$83.3 million), with earnings per share increasing to 26.11 HK cents for the Reporting Period (1QFY2024/25: 19.88 HK cents).Amidst the challenging market environment, the Group strengthened its credit assessment model to control credit exposure for higher-risk advances and receivables, adapting its credit risk management mechanism to offer prompt debt payment solutions and mitigate the likelihood of credit impairment. Meanwhile, targeted marketing and digital advertising campaigns across diverse media networks successfully stimulated spending, sustaining sales growth momentum for credit cards, which mitigated the drop in personal loan sales due to prudent credit assessment, with total sales in 1QFY2025/26 maintained at the same level as 1QFY2024/25, and the gross advances and receivables balance decreasing marginally by 1.2% from the end of February 2025.Looking ahead, the Group will carefully evaluate market conditions and consumer behaviour, emphasising both mobile application and traditional marketing channels to promote credit cards, personal loans, and other products, and further invest in developing virtual card functionalities.

Its revenue increased by 11.7% year-on-year to approximately HK$7,840.0 million (Fiscal 2024: HK$7,016.8 million), despite the dual challenges posed by macroeconomic volatility and uneven recovery in end-consumer demand. Gross profit increased by 15.7% to approximately HK$1,832.6 million, with gross profit margin rising by 0.8 percentage point to 23.4% (Fiscal 2024: HK$1,583.6 million and 22.6%, respectively).

Excluding restructuring costs, adjusted EBITDA increased by 7.7% to approximately HK$1,276.3 million, and the adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.3% (Fiscal 2024: HK$1,185.3 million and 16.9%, respectively).

Together with the interim dividend of HK2.5 cents per share, this makes a total dividend of HK6.8 cents, which is in line with the Group’s dividend policy of distributing no less than 30% of its net profit for the financial year.Mr. YY Hung, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of Regina Miracle, said, “We are pleased to report that Regina Miracle achieved low double-digit growth in Fiscal 2025, sustaining its recovery trend despite global macroeconomic challenges. This resilience was ensured by our IDM business model. In a market increasingly characterized by efficiency-driven supply chain agility and value creation focused on differentiated technological barriers, the Group remains committed to its strategy of ‘prioritizing and strengthening core segments’, while flexibly responding to industry adjustments. By leveraging our production capacity in China on domestic demand and utilizing our capacity in Vietnam to serve global markets, we strengthened our ability to seize opportunities from the dual circulation strategy, while bolstering technical reserves to support rapid response to the needs of our brand partners. At the same time, we continued to build product advantages through breakthroughs in craftsmanship innovation, fostering deep synergies with major brand partners. This dual-track strategy of efficiency enhancement and innovation strengthened the Group’s foundation during market headwinds and ensured it is well positioned for future growth.”Business ReviewFosters synergistic development of “Better & Best” products with moderate expansion in intimate wear segmentThis business segment contributed revenue of approximately HK$4,243.4 million during Fiscal 2025, representing a moderate year-on-year increase of 3.0%. Accounting for 54.2 % of the Group’s total revenue, it remained its main source of revenue. The segment’s gross profit increased by 7.2% to approximately HK$1,047.2 million, with gross profit margin rising by 1.0 percentage point to 24.7%. During the Year, the Group continued to optimize its brand partner portfolio by focusing on the “Better & Best” product positioning and strengthening innovative synergies with quality brand partners. As a result, orders from key brand partners for innovative products developed by the Group increased significantly, partially offsetting the fluctuations in orders from a few brand partners due to adjustments in their market strategies.Global sports craze and innovative patented bonding craftsmanship drive robust growth in sports products segmentThis business segment generated revenue of approximately HK$2,934.1 million during the Year, representing a significant year-on-year increase of 26.9% and accounting for 37.4% of the Group’s total revenue. Segmental gross profit was approximately HK$652.8 million, with a gross profit margin of 22.3%. The growing popularity of sports activities around the world, sparked by international sporting events, boosted orders for sports products. In particular, the sports bra segment achieved double-digit growth. In addition, the Group’s differentiated functional apparel products, developed using its proprietary patented bonding (“Bonding”) craftsmanship, recorded strong revenue growth during the Year and became the core growth engine of the sports products segment.Dual-base operations in China and Vietnam and smart transformation boost efficiencyThe Group continued to advance its smart transformation through key initiatives such as structure verticalization, management intellectualization, equipment automation, and supply chain localization to improve production efficiency and precision in cost control. The relocation of the Shenzhen production base to Zhaoqing was completed in October 2024. Meanwhile, the relocation of the R&D department is progressing according to schedule, further strengthening the technological synergy between local innovation and production.In Fiscal 2025, the contribution of the Vietnam production base to the Group’s total revenue reached 85%. As of 31 March 2025, the Group employed approximately 31,900 people in Vietnam and approximately 4,900 people in Mainland China. In the long term, the Group will continue to leverage its Vietnam production base to meet the demands of its international brand partners in the global market, while supporting the “China for China” strategies of its brand partners with the Zhaoqing production base. This dual-track approach is expected to establish a flexible and efficient R&D and production model that caters for brand partners’ need for speed to market.VS China’s localization strategy proved effective, with e-commerce channel driving double-digit growth for the IDM businessVS China’s revenue for the Group’s Fiscal 2025 amounted to approximately HK$1,965.7, representing a year-on-year increase of 4.4%. Net profit amounted to approximately HK$85.6 million, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately HK$0.2 million. During Fiscal 2025, VS China strengthened its differentiated positioning and localized innovation advantages to precisely cater for the needs of local customers. Its core product lines performed particularly well in e-commerce channels, which led to a double-digit year-on-year growth in the Group’s related IDM business.Driving Development Through Innovation, Cost Optimization, Efficiency Enhancement, and a Diversified and Balanced Market Layout to Strengthen Risks ResilienceIn Fiscal 2026, the global market faces significantly greater uncertainty due to the impact of trade wars, with the gloomy outlook for the consumer market leading to more conservative order placements from brand partners. Meanwhile, amid intensifying competition in the supply chain, product differentiation has become key for supply chain enterprises and brands to stand out from their peers. Over the years, Regina Miracle has consistently invested in R&D innovation and established competitive advantages through differentiated technological craftsmanship and products, while improving its production efficiency and flexibility through automation, standardization and digitalization. These efforts have enabled the Group to maintain a leading position in the face of the challenging market environment.Commitment to “cost optimization and control, efficiency-driven transformation, and debt reduction” to enhance profitabilityThe Group is implementing cost optimization and efficiency enhancement measures that cover a range of aspects, from R&D and production to operations, aiming to improve organizational effectiveness and strengthen efficiency awareness among all staff to enhance the Group’s profitability. For the incremental cash flow generated by future business optimization, the Group will prioritize achieving the medium-term goal of reducing the debt ratio after rewarding shareholders, so as to enhance the capital structure. This is expected to strengthen the Group's financial resilience while balancing shareholder value and long-term business development.Leveraging leading Bonding craftsmanship to drive continuous innovative product launches and gradually increase economies of scaleDrawing on its insights into market trends, the Group has identified innovative product breakthroughs as the core engine for driving future growth. It is committed to developing high value-added products with distinctively differentiated advantages, aiming to stand out from homogeneous competition and enhance its market dominance through value creation. To this end, the Group will fully leverage its leading advantage in Bonding craftsmanship and replicate its previous success in expanding from intimate wear into the sports product segment to make further inroads into the apparel business. The innovative Bonding apparel series developed by the Group has become a flagship development project advanced in collaboration with major sports brand partners, demonstrating enormous market potential. It is poised to become a key driver of the Group’s sustained business growth, further promoting the realization of its overall economies of scale.Deepen upstream collaboration and expand market footprintIn the face of macroeconomic challenges such as trade wars, the Group will continue to deepen collaboration with strategic supply chain partners while actively introducing new, distinctive suppliers to bolster its supply chain network. In terms of geographic market layout, the Group will strive to strengthen its foothold in established markets while accelerating market diversification, with a focus on building partnerships in regions including China, Europe, and Japan. This strategy will achieve a balanced multi-regional layout and enhance the Group’s risk resilience and sustainability potential.Dedication to fulfilling environmental and social responsibilities, joining hands with stakeholders to build a sustainable futureThe Group firmly believes that environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles are critical to its long-term development. By prioritizing the four key areas of carbon reduction, waste management, sustainable innovation, and people and community, the Group is comprehensively fulfilling its environmental and social responsibilities. Based on its 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Group is committed to advancing its carbon reduction and energy conservation goals in its operations. During the Year, the Group launched the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and conducted a group-wide carbon audit to prepare for setting targets in alignment with the 1.5 degrees Celsius goal under the Paris Agreement. The Group plans to finalize its science-based decarbonization targets within the next one to two years and develop a roadmap and strategy for achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.Mr. Hung concluded, “Looking ahead to Fiscal 2026, Regina Miracle will continue to focus on core technological innovation and differentiated product categories expansion, while deepening synergistic collaboration with brand partners. Ensuring strict adherence to prudent financial management principles, the Group will rigorously implement cost optimization and efficiency enhancement measures and allocate capital selectively to optimize operational management and internal control mechanisms. The Group will comprehensively advance strategic transformation centered on efficiency-driven initiatives, prioritizing human resource development. The Group aims to strengthen its financial performance by enhancing organizational effectiveness and resource allocation efficiency. It will proactively mitigate market volatility and address environmental challenges through its multi-regional presence across China and Vietnam and its industry chain collaboration. Building on this foundation, we will expand our business scale in a considered manner and continuously consolidate our developmental foundations, while remaining committed to creating long-term value for all stakeholders.”About Regina Miracle International (Holdings) LimitedFounded in Hong Kong in 1998, Regina Miracle International (Holdings) Limited is a global leader in the intimate wear manufacturing industry.

香港，2025年6月26日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - IBI Group Holdings Limited（"IBI"或"公司"及其附属公司统称为"集团"；股份代号：1547）为一家专注于建筑环境方面投资的公司，今日公布其截至2025年3月31日止年度（"2025财年"或"回顾年内"）之经审核综合业绩。2025财年，全球经济环境充满挑战，为建造业带来巨大压力，投标情况亦变得极为激烈。同时，全球贸易紧张局势引发市场意想不到的波动，促使资金流向亚洲。这趋势开始为香港市场注入动力，并有望舒缓中国内地制造业所承受的部分压力。此外，随着访港旅游强劲反弹及市场气氛改善，这些发展态势使本港前景愈发乐观。集团对香港的经济前景抱有信心，凭借严谨的风险管理、有效的成本控制及对新机遇的策略性把握，集团将能应对不断变化的环境，并推动可持续增长。回顾年内，集团展现出非凡韧性，并实现稳健的财务表现。公司拥有人应占溢利飙升约23.0倍至约8.4百万港元（2024财年：约0.4百万港元），增长主要由于Building Solutions分部有所改善、确认按公平值计算的金融资产产生的未变现溢利，以及确认上年度投资物业的重大公平值亏损。每股基本及摊薄盈利为1.0港仙（2024财年：0.0港仙）。董事会建议派发截至2025财年之末期股息每股0.5港仙（2024财年：0.5港仙）。IBI主席兼行政总裁Neil Howard先生表示："尽管全球经济环境充满挑战，集团于2025财年仍实现强劲表现，盈利能力显著提升。在回顾年内后期，集团更成功获得总价值超过2025财年的总营业额的四个大型项目。卓越的表现充分印证我们策略部署的成效、强大的韧性，以及快速应变的能力。展望未来，我们将继续加强业务发展，灵活应对市场变化，不断求进，以为股东创造长期价值及可持续的回报。"业务回顾1.承建IBI在香港及澳门提供世界级的室内装修及楼宇翻新服务，主要为不同行业的客户担任总承建商。建筑业在回顾年内大部份时间持续受压，尽管集团完成的项目数量较去年同期有所增加，但其中多个项目规模较小，营业额因而下降。然而，凭借集团的商务团队严格控制成本及积极进行结算工作，承建分部在充满挑战的环境下仍能实现稳健业绩。回顾年内，集团录得来自承建的溢利约7.4百万港元（2024财年：约15.2百万港元），完成12个项目，获授13个新项目。值得留意的是，于回顾年内后期，集团获得总值超过2025财年整年营业额的四个大型项目。2025年5月，IBI就一项潜在投资订立谅解备忘录，以开发一个位于菲律宾马尼拉市约318公顷的新中央商业区。凭借在建筑及项目管理方面的专业知识，集团将担任项目顾问，监督项目，并就建设、采购及项目进展提供专业意见。此合作符合集团的长远策略，倘若项目落实，将拓阔集团的收入来源，并推动其长远增长。这些项目将为2026财年奠定坚实基础。在澳门，IBI获得重新开展业务后的首个项目。集团正与以往的客户重建关系，并积极参与新项目的投标。2.Building Solutions集团的附属公司Building Solutions Limited（"BSL"）提供可提升建筑环境表现及福祉的产品及服务，以为用者提供现代化、健康及高性能的空间。BSL的业绩持续显著改善，于回顾年内录得分部溢利约0.6百万港元（2024财年：分部亏损约0.3百万港元），销售收益同比增长58.2%。BSL于2025财年录得盈利，标志此初创业务实现重大里程碑，透过持续研究及发掘新产品，集团相信此分部在提供优质建筑产品及服务的声誉将能进一步提升。3.策略投资集团成立策略投资分部旨在将资金有效分配至新的市场领域，并扩大集团于建筑环境领域的影响力。回顾年内，集团的策略投资分部录得分部溢利约为0.9百万港元（2024财年：分部亏损约3.2百万港元）。该分部溢利是由于集团于大型房地产投资信托基金的投资出现未实现公平值收益而实现，该香港上市公司拥有及管理多元化及优质的投资组合。就集团的日本资产而言，即位于北海道俱知安町的地块，集团正持续对该地块进行分析并制定最佳战略。分析显示更大规模的开发可带来显著的经济效益及更高的投资回报，因此集团正考虑扩大此项目。展望未来，集团将继续发掘潜在的投资机会，并期待于该领域公布更多佳绩。4.投资物业集团的物业投资附属公司专注于收购实体房地产，以为集团带来额外收入，并扩大其地域覆盖范围。集团的物业投资部于2025财年录得分部溢利约为2.5百万港元（2024财年：分部亏损约8.1百万港元），保持稳健业绩并维持百分之百的出租率。回顾年内，集团委聘规划建筑师对西翼屋顶区域进行勘测，并为额外的商业空间进行初步设计。随后，集团与当地政府规划办公室举行了规划前会议。规划办公室给予了积极反馈，并表示不反对增建一层。此次增建将创造2,500平方英呎的可租用空间，预期将对该物业的估值产生正面影响。关于IBI Group Holdings Limited（股份代号︰1547）IBI Group Holdings Limited 为香港主板上市控股公司，专注于建筑环境方面的投资。集团的投资以承建为核心，同时涵盖多个业务范畴，提供建筑环境多个领域的创新、优质制造及供应解决方案。集团的使命是通过创新、可持续发展及健康的理念，提供卓越的产品、服务和客户体验。有关IBI的详情，请浏览网站：https://ibighl.com/.

As the previous Kiswa was carefully prepared for removal, the new Kiswa was raised and securely fastened to all sides of the Kaaba. Additionally, the door curtain embroidered with golden embellishments, lantern-shaped pieces, the belt, and samadiyah pieces were affixed-a scene embodying high craftsmanship and precision.The King Abdulaziz Complex for the Holy Kaaba Kiswa is the sole specialist entity responsible for the production of the Kiswa. The production stages are carried out within the complex through a precise production process that begins with the purification of water designated for dyeing, followed by automated weaving, printing, embroidery, and assembly. It concludes with quality assurance measures undertaken by 154 skilled Saudi specialists and technicians.During the production of the Kiswa-which weighs up to 1,415 kilograms-high-quality raw materials are utilised, including 825 kilograms of black-dyed natural silk and 410 kilograms of cotton. The Kiswa is embroidered with 120 kilograms of gold thread and 60 kilograms of silver thread. Additionally, it features 54 gold-coated pieces, comprising the belt, Quranic verses, the door curtain, lantern-shaped pieces, and embellishments surrounding the Mizab and corners.The Kiswa is adorned with 68 Quranic verses from 11 surahs, while the door curtain contains 763 words from the Quran. It is secured using 100 precisely positioned ropes, evenly distributed across all four sides of the Noble Kaaba.The Kiswa stands over 14 metres tall and is made up of five main parts-four of which cover each side of the Kaaba, while the fifth forms the door curtain, embroidered with Quranic verses in gold and silver threads, crafted using precise techniques and profound expertise.The occasion of replacing the Kiswa represents a continuation of the legacy established by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia since the time of its founder, King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Al Saud-may Allah have mercy upon him. It reaffirms the continuation of this blessed legacy under the direct care of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and his Deputy, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz-may Allah preserve them both.
