MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Established in 1974, the Group has evolved into a global technology, engineering and manufacturing company focused on smart and sustainable living. With operations spanning across Greater China, Southeast Asia, Europe and North America, the Group serves customers worldwide through its two business segments: Control Solutions and Branded Business.
The Control Solutions segment provides engineering, design and manufacturing solutions across a range of industries, while the Branded Business segment develops and markets innovative products and solutions for smart home, climate control, energy management and related applications. Leveraging its global footprint, technological capabilities and diversified business portfolio, the Group continues to invest in innovation, talent and operational excellence to capture growth opportunities and create long-term value for stakeholders.
Market Overview
The global macroeconomic environment in FY2026 remained highly complex and volatile, shaped by geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, commodity inflation, and continued uncertainty in global trade and monetary policy. Businesses across industries also faced mounting challenges as shifting industrial policies and evolving technology investment trends continued to reshape global markets and operating conditions.
According to the International Monetary Fund (the “IMF”), the global economy faced renewed pressure during the year as conflict in the Middle East, geopolitical fragmentation, and slowing trade activity weighed on growth prospects. Global growth is projected to slow down to 3.1% in 2026 and 3.2% in 2027, with emerging markets expected to bear the worst impact of stagnating growth and rising inflation. The IMF also highlighted elevated downside risks from prolonged conflicts, rising sovereign debt levels¹.
At the same time, supply chain conditions became increasingly fragile amid ongoing tariff volatility. According to the 2026 Thomson Reuters Global Trade Report, tariff volatility has reshaped the global trade landscape, with supply chain challenges evolving into a form of “structural turmoil.”² Companies are adapting to unprecedented regulatory complexity, cost pressures, and geopolitical conflicts, leading to the reconfiguration of production networks.

Commodity markets also experienced renewed pressure in 2026, particularly in strategic industrial materials critical to electrification and digital infrastructure. A January 2026 S&P Global study highlighted a widening structural shortfall in global copper supply, driven by rising demand from AI data centres, defense spending, and electrification. Global copper demand is projected to rise by 50% by 2040, resulting in a potential 10 million metric ton deficit in the absence of new mining capacity, as structural constraints such as declining ore grades, high production costs, and prolonged permitting timelines continue to constrain supply growth³.
The housing and construction sectors in the United States (the “US”) and Europe—key end markets for many of the Group’s products—continued to recover at a slower pace than initially anticipated.
Financial Performance
Revenue
In FY2026, the Group delivered resilient revenue growth despite a challenging global operating environment characterized by geopolitical uncertainty, supply chain disruptions, currency volatility, and continued softness in the housing and construction sectors across key markets.
Revenue for FY2026 increased by 2.7% to HK$4,104.9 million, compared with HK$3,996.6 million in FY2025. The increase was primarily driven by steady performance in the Control Solutions segment and continued strong momentum in the Branded Business segment.
Sales from the Control Solutions business amounted to HK$3,610.2 million, representing year-on-year growth of 1.2%. The increase was mainly attributable to recovery in the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (“HVAC”) segment and improved sales performance in the Water & Air category, partially offset by softer demand in the Appliances segment amid cautious consumer spending and slower housing market recovery in key regions.
The Branded Business segment recorded sales revenue of HK$494.6 million, representing strong year-on-year growth of 14.8%. The performance was led by Salus, which achieved revenue growth of approximately 15%, supported by continued market expansion initiatives

and positive contributions from new product launches introduced since the second half of FY2025. This growth was achieved despite slower-than-expected recovery in the US and European housing markets.
Gross profit, gross profit margin
Gross profit for FY2026 increased 0.6% to HK$657.4 million, compared with HK$653.3 million in FY2025. Gross profit margin decreased slightly to 16.0% from 16.3% in FY2025. The margin decline was primarily attributable to operational costs associated with the ramp-up of the Group’s Mexico manufacturing operations, expenses related to organizational optimization, and the broader impact of market volatility on operating conditions.
Selling, distribution and administrative expenses
Selling, distribution, and administrative expenses (“SD&A expenses”) increased by HK$77.1 million, from HK$510.8 million in FY2025 to HK$587.9 million in FY2026, representing a 15.1% year-on-year increase.
The increase was primarily driven by higher resource allocation to support accelerated business expansion and technology development initiatives, as well as continued investment in expanding the Group’s overseas manufacturing footprint.
In addition, the SD&A expenses further increased due to a strategic investment in human capital. This initiative, referred to as “Staff Rationalization”, reflects the Group’s response to evolving geopolitical trade dynamics. In particular, key customers have been diversifying their manufacturing bases to mitigate the impact of tariff-related policies, necessitating corresponding adjustments in the Group’s production and operational planning. To adapt to this shifting landscape, the Group proactively streamlined its legacy organizational structure, right-sizing headcount in traditional regions to unlock operational efficiencies.
To support these evolving supply chain configurations, the Group has been ramping up its overseas operations, with a particular focus on its facility in Mexico. During this ramp-up phase, workforce resources were strategically reallocated, allowing the Group to recruit specialized professionals with capabilities aligned to the advanced manufacturing and logistical requirements of these new operational hubs.
Accordingly, the investment in the Staff Rationalization serves a dual purpose: it achieves a leaner, more agile cost structure in existing markets while building a long-term talent pipeline under the Group’s Glocalization strategy, ensuring the right capabilities are in place to support sustained future growth.

Profit after tax and adjusted EBITDA
Profit after tax for the Year amounted to HK$20.3 million, compared with HK$90.3 million in FY2025. The decline of HK$70.0 million is primarily attributable to the substantial decrease in net foreign exchange gain, and strategic, forward-looking investments aligned with the Group’s long-term expansion and risk-mitigation plans.
Profitability was impacted by the substantial decrease in net foreign exchange gain of approximately HK$10.1 million, which had positively influenced the net profit in the corresponding period last year.
In addition, the decline in profit after tax was also driven by the Group’s ongoing strategic investment phase, including the Mexico facility ramp-up, and other continued global expansion initiatives and upgrades to its management structure. These investments, while supportive of long-term growth, increased near-term cost pressures. The overall impact was further compounded by the aggregate effect of volatile external financial conditions during the Year.
Adjusted EBITDA⁴ decreased by HK$91.1 million, or 27.4%, from HK$332.2 million in FY2025 to HK$241.1 million in FY2026.
Cash and bank balances
Cash and bank balances increased from HK$214.2 million as at 31 March 2025 to HK$244.7 million as at 31 March 2026, reflecting a stable overall liquidity position during the financial year.
Net cash improved from HK$95.9 million as at 31 March 2025 to HK$100.1 million as at 31 March 2026. Overall, the Group’s cash position remained steady, supported by consistent operating performance and disciplined working capital management.
⁴ Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (“Adjusted EBITDA”) excluded loss on valuation of HK$2.3 million in current year (FY2025: HK$1.6 million).
- 6 -
Inventories
Inventory levels decreased to HK$734.7 million as at 31 March 2026, compared with HK$756.0 million as at 31 March 2025. The reduction reflected enhanced supply chain management, improved inventory turnover, and better alignment of stock levels with anticipated peak-season shipment schedules during the second half of the financial year.
Trade receivables, trade and bills payable
Trade receivables decreased to HK$693.5 million as at 31 March 2026 from HK$770.9 million as at 31 March 2025, primarily in line with the seasonal characteristics of the Group’s regular business cycle and higher shipment levels during the latter part of the financial year. Trade and bills payable amounted to HK$905.3 million, compared with HK$950.8 million as at 31 March 2025, remaining broadly consistent with normal procurement and payment cycle patterns.
Gearing ratio
The Group’s gearing ratio increased moderately to 10.0% from 8.4% in FY2025, reflecting funding requirements associated with ongoing business scaling initiatives, overseas manufacturing expansion, and strategic investments supporting the Group’s long-term growth plans.
Overall, despite a challenging external environment and short-term cost pressures associated with strategic transformation initiatives, the Group continued to demonstrate operational resilience while advancing its long-term investment priorities, strengthening its global manufacturing footprint, and positioning the Group for sustainable future growth.
Segment Performance
Control Solutions
Revenue from the Control Solutions segment increased to HK$3,610.2 million in FY2026, representing year-on-year growth of 1.2% compared with HK$3,565.8 million in FY2025.
The improvement was primarily driven by recovery in the HVAC sector and improved sales performance in the Water & Air category. The positive performance was partially offset by softer demand in the Appliances segment.
- 7 -
Branded Business
Revenue from the Branded Business segment increased to HK$494.6 million in FY2026, representing a year-on-year increase of HK$63.8 million, or 14.8%, compared with HK$430.8 million in FY2025.
Growth was primarily driven by proactive market expansion and the successful launch of products under the Salus brand that addressed market needs. These offerings were well received by customers and contributed significantly to segment growth. Braeburn also delivered a modest uplift, despite ongoing challenges in the US housing and renovation sectors, adding to the overall performance of the segment.
This performance was further supported by the Group’s ongoing focus on strengthening market positioning amid evolving competitive dynamics and varying regional market conditions.
Business Overview
Corporate Rebranding
As the Group has significantly expanded its global footprint and capabilities, the launch of CTGL marks a key milestone in aligning our corporate identity with our long-term strategic direction and future ambitions. This rebranding reflects the Group’s continued evolution over the past five decades from a pioneering electronics manufacturer into a global technology-driven enterprise, underpinned by enduring values of integrity, resilience, collaboration, and forward-thinking innovation.
CTGL will serve as the Group’s strategic holding company identity, providing a unified corporate architecture that enhances clarity and consistency in how we engage with investors, customers, employees, and other stakeholders globally. It reflects the increasingly interconnected nature of our businesses and the value created through the integration of engineering excellence, advanced manufacturing, software-enabled technologies, and innovation capabilities across the Group.
Looking ahead, CTGL better represents who we are today and our ambition for the future. It provides a stronger and more coherent expression of the Group’s evolution, strategic direction, and long-term value creation agenda, as we continue to advance our capabilities and deliver on our commitment of “Propelling what’s possible.”
Our Approach
CTGL’s strategic approach is anchored on its Glocalization model, which integrates global management expertise with strong local execution capabilities. Under this framework, the Group maintains centralized strategic leadership in Hong Kong while empowering regional teams to operate close to customers and markets. This structure enables CTGL to remain agile, customer-focused, and resilient in a rapidly evolving global trade environment, while supporting long-term value creation through disciplined execution and operational scalability.
A key pillar of this model is the Region-to-Region operating structure, which establishes specialized local business development teams across key markets. These teams are responsible for front-end customer engagement, coordination of production requirements, and execution of sales initiatives. By embedding commercial and operational capabilities within each region, the Group is better positioned to understand local customer needs, respond quickly to market dynamics, and capture new project opportunities in a targeted and efficient manner.
Complementing this is a hub-and-spoke structure, with Hong Kong serving as the central hub for strategic direction, governance, and resource allocation. Regional operations function as coordinated spokes, ensuring that execution remains both locally responsive and globally aligned. This balance allows the Group to optimize resource utilization while maintaining consistency in strategic objectives and operational standards.
CTGL also operates a specialized and flexible hybrid model, whereby each site is developed according to its core strengths in areas such as manufacturing, engineering, product development, and customer support. Resources, capabilities, and knowledge are shared across the network to enhance efficiency, foster innovation, and strengthen overall operational resilience.
These operating principles are closely aligned with the Group’s broader growth framework, including targeted market expansion, scaling of core technologies across multiple applications (“1-to-N Technologies”), and continuous operational enhancement through digitalization and process optimization (“Operation Remastered”). Together, these initiatives support the disciplined execution of the Group’s long-term growth strategy.

SHARE SCHEMES
2023 Share Award Plan
The 2023 share award plan (“2023 Share Award Plan”) has been adopted by the Company in the annual general meeting on 7 September 2023 (“2023 AGM”). Details of the 2023 Share Award Plan are set out in the circular dated 25 July 2023 (“Circular”). The purposes of the 2023 Share Award Plan are to recognize and reward the contributions of certain eligible participants to the growth and development of the Group, to give incentives in order to retain them for continual operation and development of the Group, and to attract suitable personnel for further development of the Group.
The 2023 Share Award Plan shall be valid and effective for a term of 10 years from 7 September 2023 unless terminated earlier by the Board and is administered by the Board or its delegates and Tricor Trust (Hong Kong) Limited (the “Trustee”). The total number of shares to be awarded under the 2023 Share Award Plan shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued shares of the Company (the “Shares”), being 84,254,000 Shares, as at the adoption date of the 2023 Share Award Plan from time to time.
The maximum number of Shares which may be awarded to a selected participant under the 2023 Share Award Plan shall not exceed 1% of the total number of Shares from time to time. As all awarded shares (“Awards”) granted under the 2023 Share Award Plan will be satisfied by existing Shares, no new Shares may be issued in respect of all awards granted during the respective periods to eligible participants pursuant to the 2023 Share Award Plan and the 2023 Share Option Scheme (as defined below). The selected participants are not required to pay any amount for the acceptance of the Awards.

2023 Share Option Scheme
The Company had a share option scheme which was adopted on 14 September 2016 ("2016 Share Option Scheme"). The Shareholders (as defined below) resolved to terminate the 2016 Share Option Scheme in the 2023 AGM. A share option scheme of the Company was adopted in the 2023 AGM (the "2023 Share Option Scheme") under which the Company can grant options to, inter alia, employees of the Group to subscribe for shares of the Company with a view to rewarding those who have contributed to the Group and encouraging employees to work towards enhancing the value of the Company and its shares for the benefit of the Company and its shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders") as a whole. Details of the 2023 Share Option Scheme were set out in the Circular.
During the Year, there were no outstanding share options and no share options were granted, exercised or cancelled under the 2023 Share Option Scheme. The number of share options available for grant under the 2023 Share Option Scheme and other schemes of the Company under the share scheme mandate limit at (i) the beginning of the Year was 61,854,000, and (ii) the end of the Year was 63,154,000, representing approximately $7.50\%$ of issued share capital of the Company. No other share options were granted after the reporting period.

NOTES
- CORPORATE AND GROUP INFORMATION
The Company was incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability in the Cayman Islands on 23 June 2006 under the Companies Law, Chapter 22 (Law 3 of 1961, as consolidated and revised) of the Cayman Islands.
The registered address of the Company is Walkers Corporate Limited, 190 Elgin Avenue, George Town, Grand Cayman KY1-9008, Cayman Islands and the principal place of business is located at 6/F, Building 20E, Phase 3, Hong Kong Science Park, 20 Science Park East Avenue, Shatin, New Territories, Hong Kong.
The Group is principally engaged in the research and development, manufacture, sales and brand management of electronic control products, focusing on smart and sustainable living.
2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with HKFRS Accounting Standards (which include all Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards ("HKASs") and Interpretations) as issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA") and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. They have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and derivative financial instruments which have been measured at fair value. These financial statements are presented in HK dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 March 2026. A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity), directly or indirectly, controlled by the Company. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give the Group the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee).
Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. When the Company has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
(a) the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;
(b) rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
(c) the Group's voting rights and potential voting rights.
- 22 -
- 23 -
2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
Basis of consolidation (continued)
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. The results of subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control described above. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.
If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, any non-controlling interest and the exchange fluctuation reserve; and recognises the fair value of any investment retained and any resulting surplus or deficit in profit or loss. The Group's share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss or retained profits, as appropriate, on the same basis as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
2.2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES
The Group has adopted amendments to HKAS 21 Lack of Exchangeability for the first time for the current year's financial statements. The Group has not early adopted any other standard or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
Amendments to HKAS 21 specify how an entity shall assess whether a currency is exchangeable into another currency and how it shall estimate a spot exchange rate at a measurement date when exchangeability is lacking. The amendments require disclosures of information that enable users of financial statements to understand the impact of a currency not being exchangeable. As the currencies that the Group had transacted in and the functional currencies of group entities for translation into the Group's presentation currency were exchangeable, the amendments did not have any impact on the Group's financial statements.
3. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION
For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on their products and services. The Control Solutions segment provides engineering, design and manufacturing solutions across a range of industries, while the Branded Business segment develops and markets innovative products and solutions for smart home, climate control, energy management and related applications.

- EARNINGS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO OWNERS OF THE COMPANY
The calculation of basic earnings per share amounts is based on the profit for the year attributable to owners of the Company of HK$20,743,000 (2025: HK$92,602,000) and the weighted average number of ordinary shares of 833,296,000 (2025: 832,659,000) in issue during the year as adjusted to reflect the number of shares held under the share award scheme of the Company.
The calculation of the diluted earnings per share amounts is based on the profit for the year attributable to owners of the Company of HK$20,743,000 (2025: HK$92,602,000). The weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of 845,451,000 (2025: 839,872,000) is the number of ordinary shares in issue during the year, as used in the basic earnings per share calculation, and the weighted average number of ordinary shares assumed to have been issued at no consideration on the deemed exercise of all dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.
A reconciliation between the weighted average number of ordinary shares used in calculating the basic earnings per share and that used in calculating the diluted earnings per share for the years ended 31 March 2026 and 2025 are as follows:
| 2026 | 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Weighted average number of ordinary shares used in calculating the basic earnings per share | 833,296,000 | 832,659,000 |
| Effect of dilution – weighted average number of ordinary shares: Share awards | 12,155,000 | 7,213,000 |
| Weighted average number of ordinary shares used in calculating the diluted earnings per share | 845,451,000 | 839,872,000 |

PURCHASE, SALE OR REDEMPTION OF THE COMPANY'S LISTED SECURITIES
Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has purchased, sold or redeemed any of the Company's listed securities during the Year.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Company is committed to maintaining a high standard of corporate governance practices with a view to enhancing the management efficiency of the Company as well as preserving the interests of the Shareholders as a whole. In the opinion of the Board, the Company has complied with the code provisions (the "Code Provisions") set out in the Corporate Governance Code (the "CG Code") contained in Appendix C1 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules") throughout the Year, except for the deviation from Code Provisions C.2.1 of the CG Code as described below:
Code Provision C.2.1 of the CG Code provides that the roles of chairman and chief executive should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual. With effect from 13 April 2022, Mr. AUYANG Pak Hong Bernard, the chief executive officer of the Company, has also assumed the role of the chairman of the Board. The Board believes that this can provide the Group with consistent leadership and allow more effective implementation of the overall strategy of the Group. The Board is of the view that this structure does not compromise the balance of power and authority, as major decisions are made in consultation with the Board, which currently comprises a high percentage of independent non-executive directors who can scrutinise important decisions and monitor the power of the chairman and chief executive. The current senior management team of the Group also possesses rich knowledge and experience in different professional fields to assist Mr. AUYANG Pak Hong Bernard in making decisions about the businesses and operations of the Group. The Board believes that the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole have been safeguarded. The Board will regularly review the effectiveness of this structure to ensure that it is appropriate to the Group's circumstances.
As at 31 March 2026, there has been no change in the information of the directors or chief executives as required to be disclosed pursuant to rule 13.51B(1) of the Listing Rules.
CODE OF CONDUCT FOR DIRECTORS' AND EMPLOYEES' SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
The Company has adopted its own code of conduct regarding dealings in the securities of the Company by the directors, senior personnel and certain employees of the Group (who are likely to be in possession of unpublished inside information relating to the Company or its securities) (the "Own Code") on terms no less exacting than the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers (the "Model Code") as set out in Appendix C3 to the Listing Rules. Having made specific enquiry of the Company's directors, all the directors confirmed that they have complied with the required standards set out in the Model Code and the Own Code throughout the Year.
In addition, no incident of non-compliance of the Own Code by the employees of the Group was noted by the Company throughout the Year.
FUTURE PLANS FOR MATERIAL INVESTMENTS OR CAPITAL ASSETS
The Group had no other future plans for material investments or capital assets as at 31 March 2026.
EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE
