EPS HEALTH TECH (03860) announces that the Group is expected to record an increase in after-tax loss of approximately HK$8 million to approximately HK$12 million for the six months ended 30 September 2026 compared with the corresponding period in 2025. The expected increase in loss for the current period compared with the corresponding period in 2025 is primarily attributable to the decline in revenue from the IRO and CRO services business due to highly intense market competition, as well as the decrease in gross profit of the healthcare products and pharmaceutical business affected by rising procurement costs and clearance of low-priced inventory. During the current period, in view of the challenging market environment, the Group also expects the garment business to record a segment loss of approximately HK$2 million, which is comparable to the corresponding period in 2025.
