Management Discussion and Analysis
The Board of Directors (the "Board") of HKR International Limited (the "Company") announces the results of the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group") for the six months ended 30 September 2025 (the "Period").
INTERIM RESULTSThe Group's revenue for the Period amounted to HK$1,925.5 million, which increased by 125.9% from HK$852.5 million in the last corresponding period primarily owing to sales completion of a new project, River One in Chinese Mainland which generated sales revenue of HK$1,125.8 million during the Period while no completion of new projects in the last corresponding period. The Group posted an increase of 283% in underlying profit of HK$45.4 million from underlying loss of HK$24.8 million in last corresponding period. With the inclusion of the Group's attributable share of net unrealised losses on fair value change of investment properties held by the Group and its joint venture amounting to HK$352.7 million and non-recurring asset impairment provisions of HK$171.3 million on the property development projects held by the Group and its joint venture, the Group recorded a loss attributable to owners of the Company of HK$478.6 million, a slight increase of HK$4.3 million from a loss attributable to owners of the Company of HK$474.3 million for the last corresponding period.
INTERIM DIVIDENDThe Board has resolved not to declare any interim dividend to its shareholders for the Period. There was also no interim dividend paid by the Company to its shareholders for the last corresponding period.
BUSINESS REVIEW(Save as otherwise stated below, all projects and operations are 100% owned by the Group)
PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND INVESTMENTThe Group's revenue from property development and investment for the Period, including proportionate shares of joint ventures and associates of HK$690.3 million, was HK$2,206.9 million. The contribution of property development and investment in the Period, including proportionate shares of joint ventures and associates of HK$92.7 million, totalled HK$19.6 million.
Property DevelopmentHong Kong
During the Period, Hong Kong's primary residential property market demonstrated moderate resilience, underpinned by a combination of policy adjustments, easing interest rates, and a revival in buyer demand. Despite macroeconomic headwinds surrounding U.S. tariffs and unsold inventory exerting pressure on prices, competitive pricing in primary sales coupled with mortgage rates falling below 3%, have provided a relatively stable foundation for the real estate market.
Investor sentiment in residential properties was further buoyed by the reduction of the transaction price threshold from HK$50 million to HK$30 million in the New Capital Investment Entrant Scheme, which is expected to benefit the luxury housing segment.
The Group's flagship project in Discovery Bay ("DB"), in which the Group holds a 50% interest, continued to advance under the DB 2.0 Blueprint during the Period. Under the Master Plan 7.0E, the residential development in DB North will add over 1.3 million square feet of gross floor area ("GFA"), delivering more than 1,400 units within a green setting featuring a central park. In regard to the first phase of this hillside development, comprising 320 units, an occupation permit was obtained in September 2025, and sales are tentatively scheduled in the first quarter of 2026.
The Town Planning Board has approved future residential developments at DB Area 6f, offering panoramic sea views, and DB Area 10b, featuring a 350-metre waterfront promenade adjacent to Lantau Yacht Club ("LYC"), an international yacht club, solidifying the Group's future development. Studies for these residential developments are progressing and will be integrated into a revised master plan for submission to the government.
As part of our commitment to building a better community under the DB 2.0 Blueprint, enhancement works at Discovery Bay Golf Club ("DBGC") and Club Siena are underway. To offer diverse indoor and outdoor leisure and sporting facilities, a new multi-recreation complex is also under construction, with main contract works expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2025. For the master plan to expand the site area for Discovery Bay International School and ESF Discovery College, official government approval is anticipated in the first quarter of 2026, paving the way for enhanced education facilities in DB.
To cultivate a distinct resort lifestyle and attract potential homebuyers seeking quality residences, DB has been evolved into a vibrant community with a variety of events and amenities catering to diverse customer profile. During the Period, signature events include Hong Kong's largest beach music event, "TheNextwave XX25 Beach Music Festival", alongside iconic family-friendly events "DB Easter Egg Hunt on the Beach" and "DB Summer Splashtopia" brought energy and excitement to the community. A large range of sports events, including the "Action SPRINT Trail Series, DB", "DB Open Water Race", "ITF Beach Tennis World Tour", as well as the regular Sunday Markets, new initiatives of DB Wellness Day and the popular Pet Bus Service, have further enriched the unique resort-style experience for both residents and visitors.
VILLA LUCCA, a luxury residential project in Tai Po (a 40:60 joint venture with Hysan Development Company Limited), continued to record solid local demand while attracting heightened interest from Chinese Mainland and overseas buyers.
The Hollywood Road and Upper Lascar Row project is being developed into a premium serviced apartments, comprising approximately 26,500 square feet of GFA with 55 units. Construction is scheduled for completion by mid-2026.

Chinese Mainland
During the Period, the Central Government continued to provide policy support to the real estate sector through the relaxation of restrictions and favourable mortgage conditions. Although these measures have helped to stabilise the market, the recovery remained gradual and uneven across cities.
The Group continues to focus on addressing market shifts by prioritising major cities, premium products and agile marketing initiatives. It is advancing a diversified sales strategy, complemented by selective light asset management portfolios, with investment decisions guided by a disciplined and prudent approach.
Sienna One, a premium apartment development in Jiaxing, achieved topping-out stage in May 2025. The sales gallery and four fully furnished show flats were unveiled in September 2025, with the first phase of sales scheduled in the fourth quarter of 2025.
At IN One, an upscale low-density project in Hangzhou, occupancy for all sold units commenced in April 2024. As of 30 September 2025, cumulative sales proceeds totalled approximately RMB216 million.
At River One, the low-density residences in Shanghai, the handover of all sold units was completed by the end of August 2025. As of 30 September 2025, cumulative sales proceeds totalled approximately RMB1,238 million.
The Group's current key Chinese Mainland residential projects are:

Hong Kong
During the Period, the office and retail markets remained under pressure, with modest price declines highlighting a slower than anticipated recovery. Local consumption was weighed down by fluctuating economic conditions, a strong currency, evolving consumer behavior, the rising trend of Chinese Mainland-bound tourism.
Tenant retention remains a cornerstone of the Group's leasing strategy. In response to the changing market conditions and increasingly discerning consumer preferences, the Group is evolving beyond conventional landlord-tenant relationships to cultivate collaborative partnerships that proactively support tenants' success. This approach will enable sustained occupancy and foster long-term, mutually beneficial relationships.
The Group's investment properties in DB (in which the Group maintains a 50% interest), comprising DB Plaza and its extension along with DB North Plaza, recorded an average occupancy rate of approximately 78% during the Period. The Group continues to identify new business opportunities through tenant reconfiguration, enhancing a diverse mix of F&B and retail outlets tailored to reflect the community's evolving lifestyle preferences.
CDW Building in Tsuen Wan maintained an average occupancy rate of approximately 86%. Amid a notable downturn in the retail market, retail sales and foot traffic are pressured across the industry. The 8½ retail arcade demonstrated commendable resilience, achieving an average occupancy rate of 89%, a noteworthy achievement in the current challenging climate.
The United Daily News Centre in To Kwa Wan recorded an average occupancy rate of 88%. Approval for land use conversion from industrial to residential has been received, with land premium terms pending finalisation.
West Gate Tower in Cheung Sha Wan recorded an average occupancy rate of 80%. The Wellgan Villa residential property in Kowloon Tong demonstrated strong leasing performance, sustaining a robust average occupancy rate of 99%.
Chinese Mainland
In Shanghai, the office towers, namely HKRI Centre One and HKRI Centre Two at HKRI Taikoo Hui ("HTH") (in which the Group holds a 50% interest), attained a combined average occupancy rate of approximately 93% for the Period, significantly outpacing market expectations amid challenging operational conditions and fierce competition.
During the Period, through a strategic repositioning of HTH and an optimised tenant mix, HTH has solidified its status as a premier luxury and lifestyle destination. The introduction of new luxury brands contributed to a 50% increase in foot traffic and boosted retail occupancy to 89%, further fortifying its market leadership.
With regard to the upgrade works, the completion of the first phase of renovations in the North Piazza of HTH greatly enhanced connectivity, facilitating the successfully arrival of "The Louis" by Louis Vuitton during the Period, a bespoke concept landmark that sparked excitement both locally in Shanghai and nationwide. This milestone further cements HTH's position as a premier hub for cultural expression and brand innovation.
The Hangzhou office market continued to experience adjustment during the Period, primarily attributed to a persistent oversupply of office space. Despite this challenging environment, HKR International Centre, comprising 156 office units and usage rights for 62 parking lots, maintained an average occupancy rate of 88%, reflecting operational resilience and effective asset management. Nevertheless, the Group remains affected by the broader market trend of ongoing decline in rental rates, which continues to exert downward pressure across the city.
In Tianjin, The Exchange (in which the Group holds a 15% interest) achieved an average occupancy rate of around 89% during the Period.
TRANSPORTATION SERVICES AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT Transportation ServicesDB's transportation operations, comprising ferry, bus and tunnel services, are managed by the Group's various subsidiaries (in which the Group maintains a 50% interest). Demand for ferry and bus services remained stable during the Period, although passenger volumes fluctuated due to adverse summer weather conditions in 2025. Rising fuel costs and a shortage of skilled labour continued to pose operational challenges, despite government aid for ferry services and the provision of import quotas for bus drivers.
The five-year DB ferry service licence was renewed on 1 April 2025. As part of our ongoing fleet enhancement programme, the main engines of a mono-hull vessel were replaced in April 2025. Concurrently, the main engine replacement for a catamaran is on track, with completion expected in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Licensing for a new single-deck electric bus is currently underway, with deployment expected in the fourth quarter of 2025. Additionally, the introduction of three new electric midi-buses is scheduled for the second quarter of 2026. The Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute has commissioned an autonomous bus trial between DB North and Sunny Bay, with deployment targeted for the first quarter of 2026.
Property ManagementDuring the Period, the Group's property management services in DB and across Hong Kong sustained solid performance, receiving multiple recognitions for sustainability and service excellence.
DB was honoured with a number of accolades at the Hong Kong Green and Sustainability Contribution Awards 2025 organised by Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency. These included the "Outstanding Award for Excellent Contribution to Sustainable Property (Property Management) - Promote Environmental Protection", "Pioneer Award Excellence for ESG Connect", "Gold Pioneer for ESG Connect" for the three categories of Environmental, Social and Governance, as well as a "Gold Seal for Contribution to Sustainable Property - Promote Environmental Protection". These recognitions underscored the Group's commitment to advancing industry-leading, sustainable property management practices.
HOTEL OPERATIONS AND LEISURE BUSINESSES Hotel OperationsThroughout the Period, the Group's operations in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Bangkok demonstrated remarkable resilience by adeptly adapting to market changes and evolving consumer preferences.
Hong Kong
In 2025, Hong Kong's tourism sector faced challenges. Despite a nearly 15% year-on-year increase in inbound visitors, overall recovery remained subdued due to fewer overnight stays, stronger outbound travel trends, fluctuating occupancies and room rates, and macroeconomic uncertainties. Additional hotel supply on Lantau Island further diluted hotel demand in the area.
To enhance occupancy rate and foster guest loyalty, Auberge Discovery Bay Hong Kong (in which the Group holds a 50% interest) has implemented a multifaceted strategy. This included targeted outreach to cultivate long-stay customers, supported by cross-selling initiatives across the Group's leisure brands, and initiatives to capture the MICE sector through trade missions to major expos in Asia. Tailored stay packages and curated experiences aligned with seasonal and festive demand also received positive response from the market.
Brand visibility was elevated through partnerships with global travel agencies, wholesalers and airlines, complemented by agile digital marketing campaigns.
Chinese Mainland
During the Period, Chinese Mainland's hospitality sector sustained its growth trajectory, supported by robust inbound travel demand and favourable visa policies. Premium hotels in key metropolitan markets reported high occupancy rates, driven by a balanced mix of international and domestic guests. In this competitive landscape, guests increasingly prioritise distinctive experiences and personalised services.
The Sukhothai Shanghai and Upper House Shanghai (the Group holds a 50% interest in both) optimised revenue through advanced dynamic pricing and a focus on guest-centric experiences, including curated unique local offerings and elevated service standards. Cost optimisation measures were implemented to ensure profitability amid rising operational costs.
Looking ahead, The Sukhothai Shanghai will continue to solidify its distinctive brand identity through innovative products, enhanced direct booking initiatives, loyalty programmes and integration of sustainable practices.
Thailand
In 2025, Thailand's tourism sector faced headwinds from softer international arrivals, an appreciation of Thai Baht and regional geopolitical tensions, which tempered visitors spend and occupancies.
Despite this backdrop, The Sukhothai Bangkok outperformed its peers by broadening customer segments through proactive sales outreach, targeted campaigns, elevated culinary offerings at signature restaurants, and strategic partnerships with leading global travel and luxury brands. The strategy emphasises compelling brand storytelling and the strengths of the hotel and The Sukhothai Spa, underpinned by consistent commitment to service excellence.
Leisure BusinessesDB's premium leisure portfolio encompasses four membership clubs: Discovery Bay Recreation Club ("DBRC"), Club Siena, DBGC, LYC, and DB Ice Rink ("DBIR"). These facilities (in which the Group maintains a 50% ownership) are establishing industry leadership through innovative design, superior infrastructure and operational excellence.
LYC has distinguished itself as Hong Kong's first yacht club to receive the prestigious "5 Gold Anchor Platinum Marina" accreditation from the Marina Industries Association and remains the city's only "Superyacht Ready Marina". It has successfully expanded into the wedding and events segment, earning recognitions for its exceptional hospitality, culinary excellence and outstanding service standards.
LYC further strengthened its market position by hosting the third boat show in October 2025, showcasing the potentials of yacht tourism through curating premium yachts and luxury lifestyle experiences.
At DBGC, all membership transactions have been managed exclusively by the Club since 1 April 2025 to uphold the integrity of membership pricing and ensure that prospective members receive full value from their memberships. Club enhancements are anticipated to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2025, creating a more enjoyable environment for members.
DBIR solidified its status as an international ice sports competition venue and elite skating academy. In support of youth development in speed skating, DBIR partnered with the Hong Kong Speed Skating Academy and the Hong Kong Skating School to provide training facilities. Leisure skating activities, such as "Frozen Canvas" and "Snow Resort", were organised to engage the community in ice sports.
HUMAN RESOURCESAs of 30 September 2025, the Group proudly employed a diverse and talented workforce of 1,513 individuals. In response to the ever-changing human capital market, the Group remains focused on advancing its human capital strategies. Key initiatives included fostering personal and professional development through structured learning workshops and programmes, reinforcing employee well-being through engaging activities and regular corporate culture surveys as well as continuously introducing best practices in various Human Resources areas. These efforts reflect the Group's commitment to cultivating a supportive and cohesive workplace culture where employees can thrive.
OUTLOOKThe global economic environment remains marked by both volatility and transformation. Geopolitical tensions and shifting trade dynamics, particularly between the U.S. and China, continue to bring uncertainty to global markets, challenging the resilience of businesses worldwide.
In Hong Kong, these macroeconomic pressures have resulted in stock market fluctuations and dampened market sentiment. While recent interest rate adjustments have offered some relief to the property sector, a full recovery remains challenging.
Against this backdrop, the necessity to build sustainable, long-term growth has never been more important. The Group is actively advancing its DB 2.0 Blueprint, a forward-looking strategy designed to cultivate a vibrant, resort-inspired community. The upcoming launch of the first phase of residential development of Toscana (Phase 19-1 of the development of DB City), DB's new Italian-inspired large-scale sea-view luxury residential development, marks a significant milestone in this journey. Over time, DB has evolved into a distinctive lifestyle destination in Asia, enriched by a curated calendar of festivals, family- and pet-friendly activities, and sports and wellness events - all aimed at fostering a dynamic and inclusive community.
In Chinese Mainland, the property market is showing signs of recovery, supported by the Central Government's targeted policy initiatives in key urban centres. The Group remains committed to reinforcing its long-term investment in the Yangtze River Delta area, a region of strategic importance.
Simultaneously, consumer preferences are shifting towards experiential and culturally resonant retail environments. Over the years, HTH has deepened its strategic partnerships with premium brands, exemplified by the debut of Louis Vuitton's "The Louis" during the Period - a landmark that not only enhances Shanghai's cultural landscape but also reinforces the Group's leadership in the high-end retail sector.
In response to the evolving market conditions, the Group has implemented rigorous cost control measures, reprioritised its projects, and streamlined its operational efficiency. The Group remains steadfast in its commitment to resilience and synergy across its businesses. Leveraging its strong fundamentals and a robust balance sheet, the Group will continue to pursue carefully evaluated, value-driven opportunities that deliver sustainable long-term growth.
FINANCIAL REVIEW SEGMENT RESULT ANALYSIS Property DevelopmentThe segment result of property development segment recorded a loss of HK$229.2 million for the Period (six months ended 30 September 2024: loss of HK$240.3 million). The improvement in segment result was attributed to: (i) sales completion of a new project, River One in Chinese Mainland which generated sales revenue of HK$1,125.8 million during the Period while no completion of new projects in the last corresponding period; but netted off by (ii) further provisions made for impairment losses on property development projects held by the Group and its joint venture. As at 30 September 2025, the Group has HK$147.9 million contracted but unrecognised property sales.
Property InvestmentThe segment result of property investment segment declined by 12.7% to HK$248.8 million for the Period (six months ended 30 September 2024: HK$285.1 million). During the Period, the segment recorded overall decline on rental revenues generated from its investment portfolios due to lowered occupancies for the Group's major commercial/retail properties since the second half of 2024.

Transportation Services and Property ManagementThe segment result of transportation services and property management segment increased by 86.1% for the Period to HK$30.9 million (six months ended 30 September 2024: HK$16.6 million). Although the average daily ridership of bus and ferry services was slightly lower than the last corresponding period due to adverse weather during the Period, this impact was offset by the Group's successful reduction in fuel costs and the implementation of various cost control measures.
Hotel OperationsThe hotel operations segment recorded an overall segment loss of HK$39.0 million for the Period (six months ended 30 September 2024: loss of HK$30.7 million). Despite improvements in room occupancies, Auberge Discovery Bay Hong Kong has been facing continued pressure for lower room rates due to budget-conscious behavior of visitors during the Period.
Leisure BusinessesThe leisure businesses segment, which primarily includes DBRC, Club Siena, DBGC, LYC and DBIR, recorded segment profit of HK$0.3 million for the Period (six months ended 30 September 2024: loss of HK$2.0 million).

Report on Review of
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF HKR INTERNATIONAL LIMITED 香港興業國際集團有限公司
(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)
INTRODUCTIONWe have reviewed the condensed consolidated financial statements set out on pages 19 to 44, which comprise the condensed consolidated statement of financial position of HKR International Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together, the "Group") as at 30 September 2025 and the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and selected explanatory notes. The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of a report on the condensed consolidated financial statements to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the "HKICPA"). The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as issued by the HKICPA. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review and to report our conclusion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.
SCOPE OF REVIEWWe conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" as issued by the HKICPA. A review of the condensed consolidated financial statements consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
CONCLUSIONBased on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as issued by the HKICPA.

Capital redemption reserve is the amount equivalent to the nominal value of the shares cancelled upon repurchase of the Company's shares which was transferred from accumulated profits. The reserve may be applied by the Company in paying up its unissued shares to be allotted to members of the Company as fully paid bonus shares in accordance with the articles of association of the Company and the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands.
