Gelonghui November 17丨Derivatives Group (06893.HK) announced that according to the preliminary draft of the Group's unaudited comprehensive management accounts for the 6 months ended September 30, 2023 and the preliminary review and evaluation of the current information obtained by the board of directors, the Group's net comprehensive loss for the expected period recorded a decrease of more than 50% compared to the comprehensive net loss of about HK$24.2 million for the 6 months ended September 30, 2022.

It is anticipated that the reduction in net consolidated losses for the current period is mainly due to an increase in revenue of about 30% over the same period ending September 30, 2022, and due to the gradual recovery of Hong Kong's tourism and retail industries since the return of normal customs clearance for travelers between Hong Kong and mainland China in early February 2023, and the overall improvement in consumer sentiment, leading to an increase in demand for the Group's products.
