CHUANGLIAN HOLD (02371) announced its interim results for the six months ended December 31, 2025. The group recorded revenue of 336 million yuan during the period. The loss attributable to the company's owners was 1.533 million yuan, with a basic loss per share of 0.23 fen. According to the announcement, the increase in service costs during the reporting period was largely in line with the revenue growth. The slight decline in gross profit margin was primarily due to a higher proportion of revenue coming from the financial services business, which carries a significantly lower gross margin compared to the education services business. The rise in selling and marketing expenses was mainly attributed to increased employee costs. A reduction in administrative expenses was chiefly a result of decreases in employee costs, entertainment expenses, legal and professional fees, as well as depreciation and amortization.
