ZO Future Group provided earnings guidance for the six months ended 31 December 2023. For the period, the Group is expected to record a loss attributable to owners of the Company of not more than HKD 39.0 million as compared to the loss attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HKD 28.4 million for the same period last year. The increase in loss was mainly due to, during the period under review: (i) an absence of compensation from the football club segment under the profit and loss sharing arrangement between the Company and Oriental Rainbow Investments Limited; and (ii) an increase in finance costs, which were partly offset by (a) an increase in profit on sales of players' registration; (b) the share of loss attributable to owners of the Company from a non-wholly owned subsidiary decreased to approximately 51.72% after completion of the disposal of certain interests in the non-wholly owned subsidiary; and (c) an absence of loss arising on fair value change on investment properties.
