Anticipates Not Less Than 120% Rise in Consolidated Profit Attributable to Shareholders
JBM (Healthcare) Limited (JBM Healthcare or the Company; HKG: 2161, together with its subsidiaries, the Group), a leading branded healthcare products marketer and distributor in Hong Kong, has announced a positive profit alert. Based on a preliminary review of the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group for the financial year ended 31 March 2024 and the information currently available to the board of directors of the Company, the Group is expected to record an increase in the consolidated profit attributable to shareholders for the year ended 31 March 2024 (Consolidated Profit) by not less than 120% as compared to that for the same period last year.
The significant increase in Consolidated Profit stems from a combined effect of the improvement in overall retail market sentiment due to the gradual recovery of tourist travel to Hong Kong, alongside the effective execution of advertising and marketing strategies for our key brands under the proprietary medicine category, notably Po Chai Pills and Ho Chai Kung. This promising performance underscores our disciplined execution of growth strategies along the offline and online platforms, with positive progress being made on the cross-border e-commerce trade.
JBM Healthcare has a diversified portfolio spanning branded medicines, proprietary Chinese medicines, and health and wellness products. The Group continues to make progress on its strategic priorities, including expanding e-commerce platforms locally and cross-border, exploring opportunities in traditional Chinese medicines for Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area, adapting its product mix to consumer trends, and enhancing commercial execution.
