Pacer Oil & Gas (02178) announces that the group is expected to achieve a profit attributable to owners of the company of not more than HK$25 million for the year ending December 31, 2025, while in 2024, the company incurred a loss of approximately HK$17.8 million attributable to owners of the company. The improvement in profitability is mainly attributed to: (i) the depreciation expense on properties, factories, and equipment reduced during the reporting period as certain factories and machinery were fully depreciated in 2024; (ii) an increase in government subsidies enjoyed by the group during the reporting period; (iii) the performance of the group's share in associate companies turned from loss to profit during the reporting period.
