Summary:

  • Ascent Bridge Limited (ABL) anticipates reporting a net loss for the financial year ended 31 March 2025 (FY2025).
  • This expected loss is primarily a consequence of a significant decrease in the Group's revenue compared to the financial year ended 31 March 2024 (FY2024).
  • The decline in revenue is largely due to reduced contributions from duty-paid markets such as Hong Kong, Macau, Cambodia, Korea, and Vietnam.
  • Despite having established a presence in 17 countries and forged partnerships with 18 international airlines in duty-free channels, manpower and cash constraints impacted marketing and promotional activities, particularly affecting sales in duty-paid markets.
