CIL GROUP (01719) announced that the Group expects to achieve a profit attributable to company owners of approximately HKD 8 million in the first half of 2026, representing a year-on-year increase of about 225%. The Board believes that this increase is primarily due to (i) the optimization of the Group's business structure, focusing on terminal and related businesses, along with the growth in container throughput (including local cargo containers and transshipment containers), which has led to an increase in revenue from terminal and related businesses, thereby driving improvements in overall gross profit margins; and (ii) the implementation of effective cost control measures, resulting in reductions in administrative expenses, other operating expenses, and financing costs during the reporting period.
