During the reporting period, the Group delivered solid profit growth, primarily driven by the resilient performance of its instant noodle business. Revenue increased by 2.8% year-on-year from HK$2,014.2 million in 2025 to HK$2,071.0 million in 2026, reflecting continued momentum in its core instant noodle business and broader store coverage in the Chinese Mainland. Gross profit increased by 8.0% year-on-year from HK$677.0 million to HK$731.0 million. Gross profit margin improved by 1.7 percentage points from 33.6% year-on-year to 35.3%, driven primarily by the continued expansion of the higher-margin core instant noodle business, the effective execution of raw material procurement strategies which helped mitigate the impact of raw material price volatility, and improved production efficiency. Profit attributable to owners of the Company increased by 11.6% from HK$157.0 million in 2025 to HK$175.2 million in 2026, representing a net profit margin of 8.5% for the period.

Review and Prospects of Different Business Regions During the reporting period, revenue from the Hong Kong and other regions operations remained stable, increasing by 0.2% to HK$793.5 million (2025: HK$792.3 million), mainly attributable to the continued steady performance of the instant noodle business in the Hong Kong market and increased demand in other regions. Revenue from Chinese Mainland operations increased by 4.5% (in local currency: -0.1%) to HK$1,277.5 million (2025: HK$1,221.9 million), mainly attributable to the increased sales volume of instant noodles and the positive impact of foreign currency translation. In Hong Kong, the instant noodles business delivered steady growth, driven by the resilient performance of flagship brands including Demae Iccho, Hokkaido Iccho, Cup Noodles and Cup Noodles BIG. To further enrich its instant noodle portfolio, the Group introduced a range of new SKUs, such as Nissin Stir Cup Noodles Seafood Flavour Instant Noodle and Nissin Viet Signature Beef Flavour Pho Noodle, and Demae Iccho Scallop and Salt Soup Flavour Instant Noodle.

Gaemi Food continued to expand its presence in overseas markets including Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Taiwan. In Australia, ABC Pastry recorded stable performance supported by the launch of a range of new premium products.
