EGL HOLDINGS (06882) issues profit alert, expecting an approximately 383% increase in consolidated net profit attributable to shareholders for the first half of the year.

EGL HOLDINGS (06882) announced that the group expects to achieve an unaudited consolidated net profit attributable to the shareholders of approximately HKD 29 million for the six months ending June 30, 2026, an increase of about 383% compared to the unaudited consolidated net profit attributable to the shareholders of approximately HKD 6 million for the same period in 2025. The significant increase in net profit is mainly attributed to the recovery of consumer sentiment and confidence towards traveling to Japan following the clarification of unfounded earthquake rumors that negatively impacted the group's performance in the same period of 2025. In addition, driven by the continued depreciation of the yen, the demand for the group's travel products and services has further strengthened. Therefore, despite ongoing global economic uncertainty, escalating geopolitical tensions, and rising oil prices creating a complex and challenging business environment, the group's travel-related business still achieved a substantial increase in revenue and gross profit during this period. Although the group's hotel business experienced a decline in revenue and gross profit due to the conclusion of the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo and intensifying industry competition, the group's net profit still saw a significant increase during this period.
