AMCO United Holding Limited reported a sharp turnaround for the six months ended 30 June 2026, driven by substantial fair-value gains from its Hong Kong equity portfolio.
Financial highlights • Revenue climbed 29.5 % year on year to HK$35.07 million, lifted by an HK$8.30 million increase in Medical Products sales. • Group gross profit fell 39.3 % to HK$5.11 million as gross margin contracted to 14.6 % (1H25: 30.9 %), reflecting higher cost of sales. • Other income and gains surged to HK$38.76 million (1H25: HK$3.45 million), almost entirely from realised and unrealised fair-value gains on held-for-trading Hong Kong equities. • Distribution costs were eliminated (HK$0 versus HK$2.49 million a year earlier); administrative expenses declined 10.9 % to HK$5.69 million. • Finance costs were stable at HK$1.80 million, relating to bond interest. • Net profit attributable to shareholders jumped to HK$36.37 million (1H25: HK$1.15 million), reversing last year’s modest profit.
Segment performance • Medical Products Business: Revenue rose 37.6 % to HK$30.36 million (86.6 % of group total), but segment profit contracted to HK$0.08 million (1H25: HK$3.29 million) as margins narrowed. • Money Lending Business: Interest income slipped 7.8 % to HK$4.71 million; nevertheless, cost containment lifted the segment to a HK$2.63 million profit (1H25: HK$1.30 million loss). Outstanding loan book stood at HK$120.30 million at period-end. • Securities Investment: Net gains of HK$38.76 million (1H25: HK$3.45 million) propelled segment profit to HK$38.74 million. The portfolio comprised 31 Hong Kong-listed equities valued at HK$150.16 million, equal to 59.2 % of total assets. • Plastic Products Business remained dormant, reporting negligible activity and a HK$0.95 million loss.
Balance sheet and liquidity • Net assets increased 30.5 % since year-end 2025 to HK$155.59 million. • Cash and bank balances rose to HK$10.61 million (31 Dec 2025: HK$7.21 million). • Bond payables were unchanged at HK$24.90 million, comprising HK$4.90 million maturing in July 2026 and HK$20.00 million due March 2030. • Net gearing eased to 9.2 % (31 Dec 2025: 14.8 %). • Current ratio improved to 3.3x (31 Dec 2025: 2.6x).
Outlook and strategy Management intends to expand service coverage and product diversity within the Medical Products segment while maintaining strict cost control and operational efficiency. The Group will also continue a prudent approach to credit risk in its Money Lending operations and aims to further diversify its equity portfolio amid Hong Kong market volatility. No interim dividend was declared.
