PROFIT WARNING

This announcement is made by Wong's International Holdings Limited (the " Company", together with its subsidiaries, the " Group") pursuant to Rule 13.09 of the Rules Governing th e Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571, Laws of Hong Kong).

The Company wishes to inform its shareholders and potential investors that based on a preliminary assessment of the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2020 (the " Interim Period"), the Group expects to record a consolidated net loss attributable to the owners of the Company in the range from HK$600 million to HK$650 million for the Interim Period as compared to a net profit attributable to the owners of the Company of HK$246 million for the corresponding period in 2019.

Based on the latest information available, this was mainly attributable to a decrease in the fair value of the Group's investment properties and share of loss in the Group's joint venture (the

  • Joint Venture") which was due to a decrease in the fair value of investment properties held by the Joint Venture. The decrease in fair value of investment properties held by the Group and the Joint Venture is expected to be in the range from HK$660 million to HK$700 million as compared to an increase in fair value of HK$169 million for the corresponding period in 2019. The decrease reflects the commercial property market conditions which were adversely affected by the outbreak of COVID-19.

Notwithstanding the above, the decrease in the fair value of investment properties is a non-cash item. The investment properties held by the Group and the Joint Venture are for leasing purposes and the rental income had no significant change in the Interim Period.

The outbreak of COVID-19 also impacted the Group's manufacturing operations from January to March of 2020. The segment profit result of the EMS Division for the Interim Period is expected to have decreased in the range of 25% to 35% compared to the segment profit result of the EMS Division for the corresponding period in 2019. The manufacturing operations returned to the normal level after March 2020.
