Guantong Group (01059)'s profit warning expects annual profit attributable to shareholders to drop to about HK$15 million to HK$18 million

According to the Zhitong Finance App, Guantong Group (01059) announced that the group expects to obtain profit attributable to shareholders of about HK$15 million to HK$18 million for the full year ending June 30, 2026 (not including other comprehensive income and expenses), while profit attributable to shareholders for the same period in 2025 is approximately HK$27.1 million (excluding other comprehensive income and expenses). The main reasons for the reduction in expected shareholder profit were: (i) system sales revenue (including software concessions and services) decreased by approximately HK$12 million or 8.2% compared to the same period last year due to several external factors, such as weakening economic momentum in the UK and delays in awarding tenders and contracts in the UK public healthcare sector; and (ii) an increase in distribution costs of approximately HK$3 million or 10.4% compared to the same period last year.
