(25 November 2025, Hong Kong) Expert Systems Holdings Limited (“Expert Systems” or the “Group”; Stock Code: 8319), a leading information technology and innovation company in the Asia-Pacific region, today announced the unaudited interim results of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) for the six months ended 30 September 2025 (the “Reporting Period”).
The Group adopted prudent yet flexible strategies to strengthen its market presence, driving steady business development and resulting in revenue growth. Through continuous optimization of the product portfolio, gross profit maintained a solid upward trend. During the Reporting Period, the Group recorded revenue of approximately HK$476.3 million. Gross profit was HK$76.4 million, and profit for the period amounted to HK$5.3 million.
Mr. Andy Lau, CEO and Executive Director of Expert Systems, said, “Despite ongoing geopolitical tensions, slowing economic growth in the Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong, and weak local consumption, which have led many corporate and institutional customers to tighten project budgets and reduced market demand, we adopted a development strategy characterized by “seeking progress while maintaining stability”, which allow us to respond flexibly to market changes. By fully leveraging the technical capabilities and resources of our subsidiaries, we provide customers with innovative one-stop IT solutions, further reinforcing the Group’s differentiated competitive advantages in the market.
In April 2025, the Group established Network Operations Center (NOC) and Security Operations Center (SOC), and completed the upgrade of its Guangzhou service desk center. This effectively enhanced regional synergies and service continuity to meet the rapidly growing demands of regional customers. Simultaneously, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Business achieved a breakthrough by successfully securing new contracts from multiple industries and implementing the innovative technologies into enterprise operations. This has supported customers’ digital transformation goals, with this business expected to become a key engine for future growth. Looking ahead, the Group will continue to deepen investment in technological innovation to drive business transformation and development, and deliver sustainable returns to shareholders.”
