METROPOLIS CAP (08621) is forecasting a year-on-year decrease of about HK$15.2 million before tax in the first half of the year

According to the Zhitong Finance App, METROPOLIS CAP (08621) announced that the group expects to lose about HK$15.2 million before tax in the first half of 2026, a year-on-year decrease of about 36.6%. The improvement is mainly due to (i) a change in loss provision confirming (a) other receivables and (b) financial guarantee contract liability to the return of such loss provisions during the reporting period; (ii) a reduction in other operating expenses and staff costs; and (iii) a reduction in loss provision recognition of financial lease receivables and receivables arising from sale-leaseback arrangements. However, these positive factors were partially offset by reduced revenue and increased recognition of loss provisions for factoring accounts receivable.
