Losses deepen to HK$890 million over last 12 months

• Over the trailing 12 months, Realord Group Holdings recorded total revenue of HK$556.3 million against a net loss (excluding extra items) of HK$890.4 million, compared with a net loss of HK$334.1 million in the FY 2024 first half period in the data set.
• Bears highlight that losses have grown at about 82.3% per year over the past five years, and the recent 12 month loss of HK$890.4 million alongside FY 2025 first half net loss of HK$479.2 million keeps that bearish view intact.
  • The shift from a profit of HK$48.6 million in the FY 2023 first half to losses of HK$483.1 million and HK$479.2 million in FY 2024 and FY 2025 first halves, respectively, supports concerns about a sustained deterioration in earnings quality.
  • Trailing basic EPS of HK$0.62 loss across the last 12 months, compared with a profit of HK$0.03 per share in the FY 2023 first half, underlines why bears focus on persistent unprofitability rather than short term revenue moves.

On top of these widening losses, skeptics point to the multi year trend of weakening earnings quality as a key reason they stay cautious on the story 🐻 Realord Group Holdings Bear Case.

Revenue stabilises but margins remain heavily negative

• First half revenue in FY 2025 came in at HK$277.1 million, slightly above HK$260.5 million in FY 2024 first half, yet net losses in these periods were still large at HK$479.2 million and HK$483.1 million respectively, indicating that higher sales have not translated into positive earnings.
• What stands out for a bearish view is that even where revenue in individual periods such as FY 2023 first half reached HK$392.5 million, profitability flipped from a HK$48.6 million profit then to sizeable losses in subsequent halves despite revenue in the HK$260 million to HK$280 million range.
  • The move from a small profit per share of HK$0.03 in FY 2023 first half to losses of roughly HK$0.34 and HK$0.33 per share in FY 2024 and FY 2025 first halves shows that margins have remained under pressure despite changes in top line size.
  • Across the trailing 12 month data, revenue of HK$556.3 million paired with a HK$890.4 million loss signals that cost levels or other charges are high relative to sales, which is consistent with the risk flag that the company is currently unprofitable.

Valuation looks rich against deep losses

• The shares trade at HK$11.86 with a P/S of 30.8x, compared with peer and industry averages around 0.6x to 0.7x, and a DCF fair value of HK$0.83 that sits far below the current share price in the supplied data.
• Critics argue that pairing a 30.8x P/S multiple and a DCF fair value of HK$0.83 with trailing 12 month net losses of HK$890.4 million forms a clear valuation risk story.
  • The gap between HK$11.86 and the DCF fair value of HK$0.83 aligns with the risk summary that the share price is above the estimated future cash flow value, while the company is still loss making.
  • At the same time, the absence of rewards in the supplied risk data combined with weak debt coverage by operating cash flow means there is little in the recent figures to offset concerns about paying a high sales multiple for a business that is unprofitable.
