Asia Orient Holdings Limited provided preliminary group earnings guidance for the six months ended 30 September 2023. For the period, the group expects to record a loss attributable to Shareholders between HKD 580 million and HKD 650 million as compared to a loss of HKD 37 million for the corresponding period in 2022. The change is mainly attributable to increase in expected credit losses on investment in debt securities; decrease in interest revenue from financial investments; higher share of profits recognised from property development joint venture in last year.
