Yabo Technology Holdings (08279) Fa Ying Guang expects the loss attributable to shareholders in the medium term to be no less than HK$24 million, an increase of about 69% or more over the same period last year

According to the Zhitong Finance App, Yabo Technology Holdings (08279) announced that the Group expects to record a loss of no less than HK$27 million in the six months ending September 30, 2026, and a loss of about HK$25.6 million for the six months ending September 30, 2025, an increase of about 6% or more over the losses recorded during the six-month period 2025. Furthermore, it is expected that the loss attributable to company owners in mid-2026 will be no less than HK$24 million, while a loss of approximately HK$14.2 million was recorded during the six-month period of 2025, an increase of about 69% or more over the loss recorded during the six-month period of 2025.

The anticipated increase in losses attributable to company owners is mainly due (among others) to a decrease of not less than HK$14 million in the Group's lottery business segment profit in mid-2026 compared to the six-month period of 2025. This decrease is mainly due (among others) to the cyclical nature of the lottery hardware industry. This is because the Group's hardware sales are generally related to the needs of provincial and municipal sports lottery centers, and lottery terminals at such centers are generally replaced according to their life cycle. In particular, compared with the six-month period of 2025, there was a decrease in the total number of sports lottery hardware tenders in mainland China in mid-2026.
