Stelux Holdings International Limited provided consolidated earnings guidance for the six months ended 30 September 2019. The Group announced that based on information currently available to the Board of directors of the Company (the "Board"), the Group is expected to record a consolidated net loss attributable to equity holders of the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2019, compared to a consolidated net profit of HKD 57 million for the same period in 2018 which included the gain recognized upon the completion of disposal of shares of its entire optical retail and wholesale business (the "Discontinued Operations") to a connected party on 1 June 2018 (the "Disposal Gain"). Excluding the Disposal Gain and loss from the Discontinued Operations, the consolidated net loss for the six months ended 30 September 2018 was HKD 45 million. The consolidated net loss for the six months ended 30 September 2019 is expected to increase compared to the same period in 2018, due to the ongoing political events in Hong Kong since June 2019 leading to weak consumer sentiment and decline of tourists traffic in Hong Kong together with the depreciation of Renminbi impacted negatively on turnover of Hong Kong and that of the Group. In view of the tough retail environment, the Group continues to implement various measures to reduce shop operating costs, office administrative expenses, capital expenditures; and tightened procurement together with faster stock clearance to reduce inventory and strengthen liquidity.
