Success Universe Group Limited released its 2025 full-year results, showing a sharp swing to a net loss of HK$410.39 million from a HK$93.39 million profit in 2024. The downturn was driven mainly by a HK$340.70 million impairment on the group’s 49%-owned associate Pier 16 – Property Development Ltd., following the 29 November 2025 cessation of Casino Ponte 16’s operations.
Revenue rose 16.3% year on year to HK$59.74 million, supported by a 17% rebound in the Canadian-based Jade Travel unit (HK$57.13 million). Property-rental income was broadly flat at HK$2.61 million. Gross profit improved 8.5% to HK$18.75 million, but bottom-line performance was hit by: • HK$26.43 million fair-value gain on listed equities (down from HK$89.16 million in 2024). • HK$16.50 million fair-value loss on investment properties (2024: HK$24.70 million loss). • HK$11.90 million write-down of property inventory (2024: HK$15.00 million). • HK$23.10 million impairment of leasehold land and buildings (2024: HK$36.10 million).
Segment results showed the travel business returning a modest HK$0.76 million profit (2024: HK$0.46 million) while the property investment unit posted a HK$23.57 million loss (2024: HK$34.86 million loss).
Earnings per share fell to a loss of 8.33 HK cents from a profit of 1.90 HK cents. The board proposed no final dividend, unchanged from the prior year.
Balance-sheet metrics weakened: total assets declined 25.9% to HK$1.08 billion and shareholders’ equity fell 41.8% to HK$568.23 million, mainly reflecting the associate impairment. Net current assets improved to HK$213.65 million (2024: HK$108.36 million) as bank loans were reduced to HK$162.50 million (2024: HK$261.50 million), but the loan from the chairman rose to HK$309.10 million (2024: HK$185.10 million). Net gearing climbed to roughly 72% (2024: 38%).
The group’s largest marketable security remains a stake of 73,250 Tesla shares, carried at HK$257.34 million—about 24% of total assets—after a HK$26.43 million fair-value gain in 2025.
Management highlights resilient travel demand and a stabilising Hong Kong property market but maintains a “prudent and cautious” outlook for 2026 amid ongoing geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties.
