Bulletin Express
Mar 26

Powerwin Tech Group Limited reported a sharp contraction in FY-2025, as revenue dropped 65.4% year on year to US$4.66 million, driven by reduced client advertising budgets amid global economic volatility and the July 2025 disposal of its standardized digital-marketing subsidiary.

Gross profit fell 74.5% to US$2.88 million, while gross margin narrowed to 61.7% (2024: 83.7%) after promotional pricing and weaker scale benefits. A US$3.03 million provision for expected credit losses on trade receivables and a 7.2% rise in administrative expenses to US$4.41 million contributed to an operating loss of US$3.44 million (2024: profit of US$6.43 million). Finance costs more than halved to US$2.01 million following significant debt reduction, but the Group still recorded a net loss of US$4.54 million versus a US$0.54 million profit a year earlier. Basic loss per share was US0.57 cents (2024: earnings of US0.07 cents).
