While the figure marked a 61.3 per cent increase from HK$3.8m (US$485,000) in the previous year, it fell short of <a href=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/asia-pioneer-entertainment-projects-30-revenue-growth\">a prior estimate of HK$7.5m <\/a>(US$958,400).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Group-wide revenue was HK$65.84m (US$8.41m), representing a rise of about 29.7 per cent from HK$50.8m (US$6.56m) in 2024. Gross profit increased by 26.8 per cent year-on-year to HK$29.8m (US$3.82m).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Asia Pioneer attributed the \u201csharp rise in revenue performance\u201d to stronger results in its <strong>electronic gaming equipment (EGE) business<\/strong>, driven by growth in technical sales and distribution. Revenue from the segment rose 31.3 per cent to HK$63.7m (US$8.26m), compared with HK$48.5m (US$6.28m) in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The technical sales and distribution segment continued to lead revenue performance, generating HK$57m (US$7.39m), up 46.3 per cent year-on-year. However, consultancy and technical services declined to HK$6.7m (US$868,000) from HK$8.8m (US$1.14m), while no revenue was recorded from repair services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gross profit from the EGE business increased to HK$29.0m (US$3.77m), although the margin declined to 45.6 per cent from 47.3 per cent in 2024. Technical sales and distribution accounted for HK$24.1m (US$3.13m) of gross profit, while consultancy and technical services contributed HK$4.9m (US$637,000).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company sold 34 electronic gaming machines in 2025, up from four in 2024. Electronic table game sales rose from 176 to 198 units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding regional contributions, <strong>Macau<\/strong> led EGE revenue, with sales and distribution in the city reaching HK$51.33m (US$6.65m). <strong>Sri Lanka<\/strong> generated HK$2.91m (US$377,000), followed by the <strong>Philippines<\/strong> at HK$2.35m (US$305,000), while <strong>Taiwan<\/strong>, <strong>Malaysia<\/strong> and mainland China contributed smaller revenues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Asia Pacific\u2019s second primary business segment, the <strong>Smart Vending Machines (VM) <\/strong>division, recorded revenue of about HK$2.2m (US$284,000) and gross profit of HK$0.8m (US$104,000). The group also installed a total of 63 vending machines (VMs) of various types in Macau SAR. Capital expenditure on VMs totalled approximately HK$2.6m (US$337,000) as at December 31, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"see-also-container\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"see-also-label\">See also:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"related-article\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"related-article__thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/11\/27c6a903-0d9e-4886-beed-8f4813c6f346-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"related-article__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"see-also-label-strong\">See also:<\/span> <a href='https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/asia-pioneer-entertainment-projects-30-revenue-growth'>Asia Pioneer Entertainment projects 30% revenue growth<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Net profit fell short of a prior estimate but rose 61.3 per cent year-on-year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2395,"featured_media":24147,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"Asia Pioneer Entertainment Holdings Limited reported a 61.3% year-on-year increase in net profit to HK$6.13m for FY2025, though it fell short of prior estimates.
