The company attributed the anticipated loss primarily to the cessation of satellite casino operations at Ponte 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Hong Kong.- The holding company Success Universal Group<\/strong> has warned shareholders of a projected consolidated loss of HK$370m<\/strong> (US$47.27m) to HK$410m<\/strong> (US$52.38m) for 2025<\/strong>. That compares to a HK$93m<\/strong> (US$11.88m) profit in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a filing on Thursday, March 12<\/strong>, the company attributed the anticipated loss primarily to the cessation of satellite casino operations at Ponte 16<\/strong>. The venue closed permanently on November 27, 2025<\/strong> in accordance with Macau law requiring all satellite casinos to shut by December 31<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Success Universal said the shutdown, which ended nearly two decades of operations under an SJM<\/strong> licence<\/strong>, led to significant impairment losses on its stake in the Ponte 16 associates and shared losses from the write-off of assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By comparison, in the last corresponding year, the group recorded a shared profit of around HK$112m<\/strong> (US$14.30m) from its stake in the Ponte 16<\/strong> associates. It owns 49 per cent of Pier 16<\/strong> \u2013 Property<\/strong> Development<\/strong>, while SJM holds the remaining 51 per cent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group also cited a substantial decrease in fair value gains from its overseas listed equity holdings as a factor behind the projected loss. The figures are preliminary and unaudited, with final results expected to be released in late March 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this week, Paradise Entertainment<\/strong>, forecast 63.5 per cent decline in profit<\/a> due to the closure of its Kam Pek casino<\/strong> on December 2<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n
