4. REVENUE

Revenue represents the aggregate of the amounts received and receivable for construction contracts of fitting-out works, sales of construction materials and provision of investment management and advisory services.

An analysis of the Group’s revenue from contracts with customers under IFRS 15 is as follows:

| | 2025
MOP'000 | 2024
MOP'000 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Recognised over time: | | |

| Recognised at a point in time: | | |
| Revenue from sales of construction materials | 13,385 | — |
| Total | 273,069 | 182,030 |

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segments are identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”), being the Chief Executive Officer of the Group, in order for CODM to allocate resources and to assess performance.

Prior to 1 January 2025, there were three operating segments, namely (i) fitting-out works, (ii) structural works and (iii) air purification business.

From 1 January 2025, management has changed the presentation of the information reported to the CODM, and segment reporting is updated to conform to this change. The Group’s management is of the view that this change of segment disclosure better reflects the Group’s updated business strategies, the development phases of various businesses and the financial performance, and better aligns with the Group’s resource allocation.

The updated reportable segment of construction services now comprises the former fitting-out works and structural works operating segments. The Group’s management periodically reviews their developments, and dynamically adjust resource allocation and strategies.

Specifically, the Group’s only reportable segment under IFRS 8 “Operating Segments” is construction services.

Other operating segments include sales of construction materials, sales of air purification unit/system and provision of investment management and advisory services, of which sales of air purification unit/system was being reported as separate segment in prior years. None of these segments met the quantitative thresholds for the reportable segments in both current and prior periods. Accordingly, these were grouped in “Others”. Prior year segment disclosures have been represented to conform with the current period’s presentation.

The CODM makes decisions according to the operating results of each segment. No analysis of segment assets and segment liabilities is presented as the CODM does not regularly review such information for the purposes of resources allocation and performance assessment. Therefore, only segment revenue and segment results are presented.

11. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to owners of the Company is based on the following data:

Earnings figures are calculated as follows:

| | 2025
MOP'000 | 2024
MOP'000 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Profit for the year attributable to owners of the Company | 1,901 | 9,407 |

| Weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose of basic earnings per share | 600,000 | 600,000 |
| Effect of dilutive potential ordinary shares:
Share options | — | 143 |
| Weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose of diluted earnings per share | 600,000 | 600,143 |

During the year ended 31 December 2025, all outstanding share options were forfeited following the departure of the relevant employee. Consequently, there were no dilutive potential ordinary shares in existence at 31 December 2025. For the year ended 31 December 2024, the computation of diluted earnings per share did not assume the exercise of certain Company's share options because the exercise price of those share options was higher than the average market price of shares.

The alleged claim arose from disputes prior to the acquisition of Lap Polly on 10 September 2019. As at 31 December 2025, taken into account the latest advice of an independent legal advisor, the management of the Group considered that the potential legal risk to the Group arising from the claim is considered as low.


MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

BUSINESS REVIEW

In 2025, the global economy remained under pressure with continuous geopolitical complications around the world. Amid the challenging environment, AB Builders Group Limited (the “Company” together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) has been actively seeking business opportunities and securing new projects to increase revenue and drive long-term development. During the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group recorded a revenue of approximately MOP273.1 million, representing an increase of approximately MOP91.0 million or approximately 50% over the corresponding period of 2024. Accordingly, the Group generated a gross profit of approximately MOP23.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2025, as compared with a gross profit of approximately MOP26.9 million last year.

For the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group completed 12 fitting-out works projects and was awarded with 18 fitting-out works projects with an aggregate contract sum of approximately MOP40.4 million. As of 31 December 2025, the Group had 14 ongoing fitting-out works projects (either in progress or yet to commence). In addition to its core construction business, the Group commenced operations in the sales of construction materials segment and the provision of investment management and advisory services during the year, generating revenue of approximately MOP13.6 million in total, further broadening its revenue base.

OUTLOOK AND PROSPECTS

Amid the uncertainties in the global economy and the complex political issues among several countries, the Group remains cautiously optimistic about the industry. Macau has continued to demonstrate strong economic momentum, underpinned by a sustained growth in tourism and gaming activities. According to the Macau government, visitor arrivals in 2025 reached approximately 40.1 million, representing an increase of approximately 15% year-on-year and exceeding the pre-pandemic level. Additionally, the Macau gaming market reported a Gross Gaming Revenue of approximately MOP247.4 billion in 2025, representing an increase of approximately 9% year-on-year, underscoring the sustained vitality of the gaming sector.

The Group anticipates that the ongoing growth in Macau's tourism and gaming industries will continue to drive investments in new construction and fitting-out projects. In particular, major integrated resort operators are actively pursuing large-scale developments. Such capital-intensive development programmes are expected to generate significant demand for fitting-out and construction services, presenting meaningful business opportunities for the Group. The Group will actively participate in bidding for these integrated resort, government and private sector projects to seize the anticipated opportunities.

The Group will continue to explore business opportunities in the construction material trading sector in the coming years, leveraging the region's infrastructure development and growing tourism industry in both Hong Kong and Macau. The accelerating development in Macau and the ongoing infrastructure projects in Hong Kong are expected to create robust demand for construction materials. By expanding into this sector, the Group aims to strengthen its business portfolio and capitalise on the anticipated market demand.

  • 12 -

The Group is committed to diversifying its business and revenue streams. Following the acquisition of a corporation with Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong ("SFC") Type 4 (advising on securities) and Type 9 (asset management) licenses, the Group will continue to explore opportunities in the financial services sector. The management is keen to utilise the Group's business relations and resources to develop commercial strategies and tap into new revenue streams through asset management and securities advisory services. This strategic expansion is expected to enhance the Group's financial performance and solidify its position in the financial services market.

In addition to expanding its market presence in construction and financial services, the Group will continue to seek partnerships, mergers, and acquisitions with reputable enterprises in these sectors. These efforts aim to further diversify the Group's revenue streams and drive long-term growth. The Group will also maintain tight cost control measures to ensure sustainable development and a healthy financial position. The board of directors believes these strategies are essential for maintaining competitiveness and navigating the challenges ahead.

The Group remains confident in its ability to capture opportunities in both the construction and financial services sectors while maintaining its focus on sustainable growth and value creation for stakeholders.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Revenue

The table below sets forth a breakdown of the Group's revenue for the years ended 31 December 2025 and 2024:

For the year ended 31 December
2025 2024
MOP'000 % MOP'000 %
Provision of fitting-out works 259,459 95.0 182,030 100
Sales of construction materials 13,385 4.9
Provision of investment management and advisory services 225 0.1
Total 273,069 100 182,030 100

For the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group's revenue increased by approximately MOP91.0 million or 50% as compared with the last year. Such increase was mainly attributable to the increase in revenue generated from fitting-out works projects of approximately MOP77.4 million or 43% mainly due to fitting-out works projects completed and awarded in 2025. Further, the increase is also attributed due to the revenue generated from sales of construction materials and provision of investment management and advisory services of approximately MOP13.4 million and approximately MOP0.2 million respectively in 2025.


Gross profit (loss) and gross profit (loss) margin

The following table sets forth a breakdown of the Group's gross profit (loss) and gross profit (loss) margin by types of revenue for the years ended 31 December 2025 and 2024 respectively:

For the year ended 31 December
2025 2024
Gross profit MOP'000 Gross profit margin % Gross profit/ (Gross loss) MOP'000 Gross profit/ (Gross loss) margin %
Provision of fitting-out works 22,585 8.7 27,380 15.0
Sales of construction materials 686 5.1
Provision of investment management and advisory services 225 100
Others (477) (100.0)
Total 23,496 8.6 26,903 14.8

For the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group's gross profit decreased by approximately MOP3.4 million, or 12.7% to approximately MOP23.5 million when compared with the last year. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease of the gross profit for completed projects awarded in 2025.

The gross profit margin of fitting-out works projects decreased by 6.3 percentage points from approximately 15.0% for the year of 2024 to 8.7% for the year of 2025. The decrease was mainly attributable to rising construction materials costs in fitting-out works projects and narrower profit margins, the latter of which was caused by a substantial reduction in the contract sums of projects awarded and completed during the period compared to the corresponding period last year.

While the gross profit decline in fitting-out works projects impacted the Group's overall performance, this was largely mitigated by growth in the trading of construction materials and advisory fee income from financial asset management services. These segments narrowed the overall decrease of the gross profit by approximately MOP0.9 million.

Other income

The Group's other income decreased by approximately MOP4.2 million or 40.9% from approximately MOP10.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 to approximately MOP6.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2025. The decrease was mainly attributable to the non-recurrence of insurance claim related to construction project which was received in last year.

Our gearing ratio (calculated as debt over total equity) as at 31 December 2025 was 6.7% (2024: 9.2%) which was mainly attributable to the decrease in bank overdrafts of approximately MOP4.6 million compared to the corresponding period last year.

Significant investments, acquisition and disposals

Save as the above, during the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group did not have any other significant investment, acquisition and disposal.

Exposure to exchange rate fluctuation

The Group entities collect most of its revenue and incur most of its expenditures in their respective functional currencies. The Group is exposed to currency risks primarily through purchase of raw materials, sale proceeds received from its customers, and investments in other financial assets that are denominated in a currency other than the Group’s functional currency. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily Hong Kong Dollars, RMB and United States Dollars. The Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy. However, the management regularly monitors the relevant foreign currency exposure and will consider taking appropriate measures to control the risk arising from significant exchange fluctuations.

Employee and remuneration policies

As at 31 December 2025, the Group had 116 (2024: 159) full time employees. The decrease in the number of employees was primarily attributable to the natural attrition of personnel following the completion of fitting-out works projects in 2025. Furthermore, the phased tightening of government foreign labour importation schemes starting in June 2025 led to a substantial decline in the Group’s non-local employees beginning from the third quarter.

The remuneration package offered to employees includes salary and other employee benefits such as bonus. In general, the Group determines the salaries of its employees based on their individual performance, qualifications, position and seniority. The Group conducts annual salary and promotion review in order to attract and retain employees. In addition, the Group provides various types of training to its employees to promote overall efficiency, employee loyalty and retention. Total staff costs for the year ended 31 December 2025 were approximately MOP28.1 million (2024: MOP23.3 million).
