Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Executive summary
Revenue for the first half of FY2025/26 declined 5.4% year-over-year to HK$4,036.2 million, with adjusted EBITDA down 29.4% to HK$242.9 million and profit attributable to shareholders dropping 67.6% to HK$46.7 million, mainly due to weak consumer sentiment and fierce price competition in both Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland.
The Group faced significant challenges from structural market changes, including normalization of outbound spending, weak inbound tourism, and high volatility in sales volumes, particularly during peak periods.
Casual Dining and Institutional Catering divisions showed resilience, benefitting from simple operations and stable demand, while the Chinese Mainland business maintained steady network expansion and loyalty membership growth despite a challenging environment.
Management is focused on efficiency improvements, new business formats, menu simplification, consolidation of underperforming outlets, and supply chain integration to improve margins.
An interim dividend of HK10 cents per share was declared, with a payout ratio of 124.1% for the period.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
