Gross and net profit margins fell significantly compared to prior year period

Outlook

Group expects H2 revenue to exceed H1, reflecting seasonal consumer demand and downstream customers' new-product launches

NEW-PROJECT RAMP-UP – Gross margin fell to 17.4% from 25.3% as development-stage projects incurred concentrated upfront costs and chip shortages disrupted production efficiency
TRANSFORMATION INVESTMENT – Profit fell 74.8% to HK$21.9 mln as one-off spending on business transformation and new-project development weighed on earnings
