(Hong Kong, November 25, 2025)— AGTech Holdings Limited (“AGTech”or“the Group”, HKEK Stock Code: 8279) today announced its interim results for the six months ended September 30, 2025(the “Six-Month Period”).

 

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Revenue of the Group for the Six-Month Period amounted to approximately HK$369.4 million (Six months ended September 30, 2024: approximately HK$271.4 million), representing an increase of approximately 36.1% compared to the six months ended September 30, 2024. For the Six-Month Period, revenue contributions were mainly derived from the following businesses:

  1. Full-scale banking business

There was an overall increase in revenue by approximately HK$83.3 million to approximately HK$90.1 million for the Six-Month Period, mainly due to the consolidation of financial statements of Ant Bank (Macao) into those of the Group for the full six months for the Six-Month Period, compared with only about one month for the six months ended September 30, 2024 following the completion of the Group’s acquisition of a controlling stake in Ant Bank (Macao) on September 2, 2024(“Post-acquisition”). It mainly included interest income derived from loans to individuals and corporate customers, placements with banks and monetary bills with AMCM of approximately HK$70.8 million (Six months ended September 30, 2024: approximately HK$5.4 million) and fee and commission income (mainly derived from securities investment services, account services and insurance agency services) of approximately HK$19.3 million (Six months ended September 30, 2024: approximately HK$0.5 million).

  1. Digital payment and related businesses (including local consumer services and payment-related hardware supply)

There was an overall increase in revenue by approximately HK$10.1 million to approximately HK$148.3 million for the Six-Month Period, mainly due to the increase in inbound tourists in Macau, increase in local consumption through digital payment benefiting from the consumption promotion campaign such as the “Community Consumption Grand Prize 2025” and the growth in the Group’s marketing technical services in Macau during the Six-Month Period.

  1. Lottery business

There was an overall increase in revenue by approximately HK$4.6 million to approximately HK$131.0 million for the Six-Month Period, mainly due to the increase in revenue from the provision of lottery offline distribution and other integrated services by approximately HK$7.2 million as a result of the recovery in supply of instant scratch tickets by the lottery authorities in the PRC this year.

 

The loss for the Six-Month Period was approximately HK$25.6 million (for the six months ended September 30, 2024: approximately HK$1.6 million). The overall increase by approximately HK$24.0 million is primarily due to the Group’s full-scale banking business, which recorded a loss of approximately HK$24.4 million for the full six months for the Six-Month Period, compared with approximately HK$7.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024 (accounting for only about one month of results for the six months ended September 30, 2024 Post-acquisition). Therefore, it is reasonable to expect a greater impact on the Group’s overall results for the Six-Month Period.
