Our impairment losses on goodwill increased significantly from RMB13.6 million in 2024 to RMB355.9 million in 2025, primarily because the operating performance of certain hospitals fell short of initial projections due to the impact of more stringent healthcare insurance payment policy adjustments and pharmaceutical and consumable price controls, which led to an impairment of the related goodwill arising from prior acquisitions of these hospitals.

QST Information Technology Limited南京擎天全税通信息科技股份有限公司

The decrease in the adjusted net profit from 2023 to 2024 was primarily attributable to a decrease of our gross profit and gross profit margin in 2024, as we incorporated certain supporting hardware into our product offerings as ancillary or value-added service to our customers from time to time at approximately cost price or with low mark-up in order to deliver customized integrated solutions to our customers.

Business · p. 144

During the Track Record Period, gross profit margin in respect of our direct sales decreased as a result of intensified competition in the domestic industrial pumps market, while gross profit margin from our sales through distributors increased as our proportion of overseas distributors, which enable us to obtain better profit margins, grew.

Sales generated from our Group's Comparable Stores located in the New Territories accounted for approximately HK$556.5 million and HK$548.6 million for 8MFY2025 and 8MFY2026, respectively, while sales generated from our Group's Comparable Stores located in major tourist and shopping areas in Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, namely stores located in Mong Kok, Tsim Sha Tsui and Central, accounted for approximately HK$796.1 million and HK$804.1 million for 8MFY2025 and 8MFY2026, respectively.

Business · p. 120

We believe the decrease in sales recorded by our retail shops located in the New Territories for 8MFY2026 was mainly due to cross-border customers gradually shifting to online shopping for their purchase of health, pharmaceutical and daily consumable products instead of physically visiting Hong Kong to purchase such products, as well as the implementation of more stringent cross-border measures for eligible items which can be brought back to Chinese Mainland.

Business · p. 113

For HLA, the decrease in GMV and the fluctuations in sales volume during the Track Record Period was primarily attributable to our continuous efforts to optimize our store network.

Greensun Inc.深圳市格林晟科技股份有限公司

In FY2024, the units shipped to our customers decreased by approximately 60.4% as compared to FY2023 was primarily attributed to the fact that there was a reduction in sales order for our lithium-ion battery manufacturing equipment in general resulting from the temporary slowdown in the lithium-ion battery intelligent equipment industry during that year.

Despite a temporary slowdown in the lithium-ion battery intelligent equipment industry in China and globally in FY2024 due to a cyclical inventory destocking across the battery industry and a slowdown in capacity expansion investments during that year, we had maintained solid sales performance during the Track Record Period, with annual revenue of approximately RMB1.2 billion for each of FY2023, FY2024 and FY2025, reflecting our capability and reliability as a crucial industry player.

Summary · p. 10

Despite an increase in our revenue throughout the Track Record Period, our adjusted net loss increased from 2024 to 2025, primarily attributable to (i) the decrease in gross profit margin for satellite-based solutions, which primarily reflected changes in the delivered solution mix, as approximately 50% of our gross profit from satellite-based solutions in that year was generated from certain projects involving standalone sales of standardized satellite data and application software, which typically carry relatively higher gross profit margins, and the contribution from such sales decreased in 2025, and (ii) the relatively higher net impairment loss on financial assets and contract assets recorded in 2025.
