PROFIT ALERT – REDUCTION IN LOSS
This announcement is made by KML Technology Group Limited (the “ Company ”, together with its subsidiaries, the “ Group ”) pursuant to Rule 17.10 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on GEM of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ GEM Listing Rules ”) and the Inside Information Provisions (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).
The board (the “ Board ”) of directors (the “ Director(s) ”) of the Company hereby informs the shareholders of the Company (the “ Shareholder(s) ”) and potential investors that, based on a preliminary review of the latest unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2024 (the “ FY2024 ”) and taking into account other information currently available to the Board, the Group expects to record a loss before tax of not more than approximately HK$14 million for FY2024, as compared to a loss before tax of approximately HK$32 million for the year ended 31 March 2023 (“ FY2023 ”). Based on the preliminary review, the Board believes that the anticipated reduction in loss is primarily due to an increase in gross profit to approximately HK$30 million in FY2024. This improvement was primarily attributable to (i) the increase in revenue by approximately HK$41 million in FY2024; and (ii) no addition of provision for onerous contracts was identified in FY2024 while provision of onerous contracts of approximately HK$16 million were recognised in FY2023.
The Company is still in the course of preparing and finalising the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group for FY2024. The information contained in this announcement is only based on the preliminary assessment made by the Board with reference to the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group for FY2024 and the information currently available to the Board, which may be subject to adjustments. Therefore, the actual financial results of the Group for FY2024 may differ from the information disclosed in this announcement. Should there be any further material impact on the estimated profit or loss of the Company, further announcement(s) will be made as and when appropriate. Shareholders and potential investors are advised to carefully read the annual results announcement of the Company for FY2024, which is expected to be published in June 2024.
Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the Company.
