PROFIT WARNING

This announcement is made by WT Group Holdings Limited (the ‘‘Company’’, and 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 ‘‘Directors’’) of the Company would like to inform the shareholders of the Company (the ‘‘Shareholders’’) and potential investors that, based on information currently available to the Board, the Group is expected to record a net loss after tax ranging from approximately HK$4.3 million to approximately HK$4.8 million for the nine months ended 31 March 2020 as compared to the net profit after tax of approximately HK$5.4 million for the corresponding period in 2019. The reversal of net profit after tax to net loss after tax was mainly attributable to the decrease in gross profit due to the (i) decline in gross profit margin of the projects undertaken by the Group as compared to the corresponding period in 2019; (ii) decrease in the number of construction projects undertaken by the Group during the nine months ended 31 March 2020 compared to the corresponding period in 2019; and (iii) provision of the possible liquidated damages of approximately HK$4.1 million in relation to a project completed in April 2020 due to delay in its completion.

The information contained in this announcement is only based on preliminary review by the Board on the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group for the nine months ended 31 March 2020 and the information currently available which have not been reviewed by the Company’s audit committee and is subject to possible adjustments upon further review. The Group is still in the process of finalising the third quarterly results for the nine months ended 31 March 2020.
