HONG KONG, July 1, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Hong Kong Investor Relations Association (“HKIRA”) announced the winners of the 11th Investor Relations Awards 2025 (the “IR Awards” or the “Awards”) on 27 June, marking over a decade of recognising outstanding investor relations and corporate governance practices among Hong Kong listed companies.In its eleventh consecutive year, the Awards recognises and honours investor relations (IR) excellence and best practices among Hong Kong listed companies and IR professionals. Amid ongoing global economic uncertainties, shifting market dynamics, and rapid technological advancements such as the development of AI, the role of investor relations professionals has never been more critical. The IR Conference and Awards Ceremony gathered experts and professionals in the field to discuss and share their different perspectives on strategies, latest trends, effective processes and best practices in investor relations. HKIRA was particularly honoured to have Dr Wong Tin Yau, Kelvin, SBS, JP, Chairman of the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong, as the guest of honour and keynote speaker at the Awards Presentation Ceremony.The 11th IR Awards 2025 received widespread support from listed companies and the investment community. A total of 114 companies participated in the Awards this year. As in previous years, the winners were first nominated by the public and then selected via online polling by qualified voters among buy-side and sell-side investors. More than 503 investors from over 388 financial institutions voted this year. The continued support demonstrates the recognition the IR Awards enjoys in the investment community. As the importance of investor relations continues to grow in the industry, HKIRA has continued to strive to raise the standard of IR excellence in Hong Kong by optimising the award mechanism to ensure the quality of the awards.Of all the award categories, Overall Best IR Company is the most prestigious, as the winner is selected by the judging panel from among the winners of all the award categories for its overall exemplary performance in investor relations. This year, the winners of Overall Best IR Company by company size – Large Cap, Mid Cap and Small Cap – are China Resources Beer (Holdings) Company Limited, Yue Yuen Industrial (Holdings) Limited, SF Real Estate Investment Trust. Given the relatively weak IPO market in Hong Kong in the past two years, no IPO-related awards are granted this time.Dr Eva Chan, Founding Chairman of HKIRA, said, “As we enter the 11th IR Awards, we are honored and grateful for the strong support and participation from professionals across various industries. Despite the challenges faced by Hong Kong’s financial market in recent years, the investor relations sector has played a vital role in rebuilding global investors’ confidence in Hong Kong stocks. With the rapid advancement of AI, IR professionals must enhance their market sensitivity and leverage AI technologies to improve data analysis and communication efficiency.Meanwhile, the Hong Kong IPO market is gradually recovering in 2025, with the growing trend of A-share dual listings significantly boosting market vitality. This development has expanded liquidity and broadened the investor base, further strengthening Hong Kong’s position as a leading international financial centre. We look forward to resuming our IPO-related recognitions in next year’s IR Awards, which will continue to recognise efforts in investor relations and celebrates outstanding practices within the industry.”Strategic Public Relations Group is proud to once again be the Official Public Relations Partner and Sponsor of the HKIRA IR Awards 2025.Friends from the investment community and industry professionals attend the 11th Investor Relations Awards Presentation CeremonyThe winners of the 11th IR Awards include the following companies (in sequential order of tickers):5HSBC Holdings plc12Henderson Land Development Company Limited14Hysan Development Company Limited35Far East Consortium International Limited71Miramar Hotel and Investment Company Limited101Hang Lung Properties Limited135Kunlun Energy Company Limited165China Everbright Limited178Sa Sa International Holdings Limited291China Resources Beer (Holdings) Company Limited331FSE Lifestyle Services Limited341Cafe de Coral Holdings Limited511Television Broadcasts Limited551Yue Yuen Industrial (Holdings) Limited552China Communications Services Corporation Limited659CTF Services Limited700Tencent Holdings Limited778Fortune Real Estate Investment Trust823Link Real Estate Investment Trust887Emperor Watch & Jewellery Limited1044Hengan International Group Company Limited1070TCL Electronics Holdings Limited1199COSCO SHIPPING Ports Limited1313China Resources Building Materials Technology Holdings Limited1361361 Degrees International Limited1810Xiaomi Corporation1811CGN New Energy Holdings Co., Limited1880China Tourism Group Duty Free Corporation Limited1929Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group Limited1988China Minsheng Banking Corp., Limited2020ANTA Sports Products Limited2191SF Real Estate Investment Trust2199Regina Miracle International (Holdings) Limited2232Crystal International Group Limited2313Shenzhou International Group Holdings Limited2388BOC Hong Kong (Holdings) Limited9636JF SmartInvest Holdings LimitedFor the complete list of winners, visit:  https://www.hkira.com/awards/ehall2025.phpJudging Panel- Professor Louis Cheng (Chairman of Judging Panel): Dr S H Ho Professor of Banking and Finance, Associate Dean (Research) of School of Business, Director of Research Centre for ESG, The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong- Mrs Amy Donati: EDICO Holdings Limited - Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer- Dr. Alvin Ho, CFA, CPA: CFA Society Hong Kong - President- Mr Stephen Law, JP: Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants - Vice-President- Mr Andrew Look: CITIC Resources Holdings Limited - Independent Non-Executive Director- Ms Victoria Mio: Janus Henderson Investors - Portfolio Manager, Head of Greater China Equities- Dr Maurice Ngai: General Committee and the Chairman of Membership Services of the Sub-Committees Chamber of Hong Listed CompaniesAbout HKIRAHong Kong Investor Relations Association (HKIRA) is a non-profit professional association comprising investor relations practitioners and corporate officers responsible for communication between corporate management and the investment community.

HONG KONG, Jun 26, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - IBI Group Holdings Limited (“IBI” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”; Stock Code: 1547), a company focused on investments in the built environment, today announced its audited consolidated results for the year ended 31 March 2025 (“FY2025” or the “year under review”).FY2025 was marked by a challenging global economic environment, which placed significant pressure on the construction industry and resulted in highly competitive tendering conditions. At the same time, global trade tensions triggered unexpected volatility, prompting capital flows to shift towards Asia. This trend has begun to invigorate the Hong Kong market and may help to alleviate some of the pressure on Mainland China's manufacturing sector. Coupled with a strong rebound in inbound tourism and improving market sentiment, these developments have contributed to a more optimistic local outlook. The Group remains confident in Hong Kong’s economic prospects and, with its rigorous risk management, effective cost control, and strategic focus on emerging opportunities, is well positioned to navigate the evolving landscape and drive sustainable growth.During the year under review, the Group demonstrated remarkable resilience and delivered a solid financial performance. Profit attributable to the owners of the Company surged around 23.0 times to approximately HK$8.4 million (FY2024: approximately HK$0.4 million). This increase was mainly attributable to improvement in the Building Solutions segment, the recognition of the unrealised profit generated from financial assets at fair value, and the recognition of a significant fair value loss on investment property in the previous year. Basic and diluted earnings per share was HK1.0 cent (FY2024: HK0.0 cents). The Board has recommended the payment of a final dividend of HK0.5 cents for FY2025 (FY2024: HK0.5 cents).Mr. Neil Howard, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of IBI, said, “Despite the challenging global economic environment, the Group delivered a strong performance in FY2025, with profitability rising significantly. Furthermore, towards the end of the period, the Group successfully secured four large projects with a total value exceeding the entire turnover for FY2025. This notable result highlights the effectiveness of our strategic focus, the depth of our resilience, and our ability to adapt quickly to change. Looking ahead, we will continue to strengthen our business development, respond swiftly to market dynamics, and pursue continuous improvement to drive long-term value creation and deliver sustainable returns to our shareholders.”Business Review1.ContractingIBI provides world-class interior fitting-out and building refurbishment services in Hong Kong and Macau, predominantly acting as the main contractor for clients across many industry sectors. The construction industry remained under pressure for most of the year. Although the Group completed a higher number of projects compared to the previous period, many were smaller in scale, resulting in a decline in turnover. However, through strict cost control and proactive final accounting by the commercial team, the segment delivered a solid set of results despite the challenging environment. During the year under review, the Group recorded profit from contracting of approximately HK$7.4 million (FY2024: approximately HK$15.2 million), completed 12 projects, and was awarded 13 projects.Notably, during the latter part of the period, the Group secured four large projects with a total value exceeding the entire turnover for FY2025. In May 2025, IBI entered into a memorandum of understanding regarding a potential investment in the development of a new central business district covering around 318 hectares in Manila, the Philippines. Leveraging its expertise in construction and project management, the Group will serve as project advisor, overseeing the project and providing professional advice on construction, procurement, and progress. This collaboration supports the Group’s long-term strategy and, if realised, could diversify its income streams and support long-term growth. These projects will lay a strong foundation for FY2026.In Macau, IBI secured its first project since resuming operations. The Group is actively rebuilding relationships with previous clients and aggressively tendering for new projects.2.Building SolutionsThe Group’s subsidiary, Building Solutions Limited (“BSL”), which provides products and services that enhance the performance and well-being of the built environment in order to provide modern, healthy and high-performing spaces for occupants, recorded a significant and continued improvement in its performance. During the year under review, BSL recorded a segment profit of approximately HK$0.6 million (FY2024: segment loss approximately HK$0.3 million), with sales revenue increasing by 58.2% year on year. BSL achieved profitability during FY2025, marking a significant milestone for the start-up. With continued research and identification of new products, the Group believes that the division’s reputation for delivering high-quality building products and services will achieve further growth.3.Strategic InvestmentsThe Group’s strategic investment division was established to efficiently allocate capital into new market sectors and expand its presence in the built environment. During the year under review, the strategic investments division of the Group recorded a segment profit of approximately HK$0.9 million (FY2024: segment loss approximately HK$3.2 million), which was realised from an unrealised fair value gain on its investment in a large real estate investment trust, a Hong Kong-listed company that owns and manages a diversified and high-quality portfolio. Regarding the assets in Japan, specifically the plots of land in Kutchan, Hokkaido, the Group is continuing to analyse the optimum strategy for the site, and is considering expanding the project, as the analysis indicates that a larger-scale development could provide significant economies of scale and a far greater return on investment. Moving forward, the Group will continue to explore potential investment opportunities and looks forward to announcing further successes in this area.4.Property InvestmentsThe Group’s property investment subsidiary focuses on purchasing physical real estate to generate additional income and expand the Group’s geographical presence. The property investment division of the Group recorded a segment profit of approximately HK$2.5 million for FY2025 (FY2024: segment loss approximately HK$8.1 million), maintaining a steady performance and a 100% occupancy rate. During the year under review, the Group engaged a planning architect to survey the West Wing rooftop area and prepare an initial design for additional commercial space. The Group then held a pre-planning meeting with the local government planning office, which gave positive feedback and indicated that it would not object to the construction of an additional floor. This addition would create 2,500sq ft of tenantable space, which is expected to have a positive impact on the property’s valuation.About IBI Group Holdings Limited (stock code: 1547)IBI Group Holdings Limited is a publicly listed holding company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, focused on investments in the Built Environment.
