AMUSE GROUP (08545) Issues Profit Warning: Expects Interim Loss Attributable to Shareholders of Not More Than HK$1.7 Million, Turning from Profit to Loss Year-on-Year

AMUSE GROUP (08545) announces that the Group is expected to record a loss attributable to owners of the Company of not more than HK$1.7 million for the current period (the period ended September 30, 2026), compared with a profit of approximately HK$1.2 million for the period ended September 30, 2025 (the corresponding period last year). Based on information available to the Company immediately prior to the publication of this announcement, the Board considers that the loss for the current period was primarily due to a decrease of approximately 45.4% in the Group's revenue from the distribution of imported toys and related products from approximately HK$40.1 million for the corresponding period last year to approximately HK$21.9 million. The decrease in revenue from the distribution of imported toys and related products was primarily due to the temporary lack of major franchise product launches by brand licensors. This left wholesale buyers without the "hot-selling" products needed to secure pre-orders. As the upcoming product lines lacked guaranteed hit products, both wholesalers and regional B2B customers adopted a cautious approach and declined to make substantial advance order commitments for the imported product lines.
