EPI (HOLDINGS) (00689) announced its interim results, with a loss attributable to shareholders of HKD 15.309 million.

EPI (HOLDINGS) (00689) released its interim results for 2026, reporting revenue of HKD 41.916 million, a year-on-year increase of 9.8%; the loss attributable to owners of the company was HKD 15.309 million, compared to a profit of HKD 11.117 million in the same period last year; basic loss per share was HKD 0.0125. The group's performance turned from profit to loss mainly due to (i) the recognition of a one-time non-cash stock-based compensation expense of HKD 8.542 million resulting from the grant of share options on May 5, 2026 (1H 2025: none); (ii) primarily due to the depreciation of the Canadian dollar and New Zealand dollar against the Hong Kong dollar, which resulted in an unrealized foreign exchange loss of HKD 8.615 million when the foreign currency-denominated balances held by the group were retranslated at the end of the period (1H 2025: unrealized foreign exchange gain of HKD 8.136 million).
