2026 INTERIM PERFORMANCE REVIEW

 

In the first half of 2026, global demand for dining services remained resilient, while consumers became increasingly focused on product value, the overall dining experience and the suitability of restaurants for different dining occasions. We upheld our “Dual Focus on Employees and Customers (一手抓員工、一手抓顧客)” management philosophy, strengthening restaurant fundamentals and enhancing the customer experience. Driven by this strategy, the overall average table turnover rate remained stable, while several operating indicators, such as same store sales, guest visits, and restaurant level operating margin, improved compared with the same period last year.

 

During the Reporting Period, the Group recorded revenue of US$444.8 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 12.1%. Income from operations was US$22.1 million, representing an increase of 87.3% from US$11.8 million for the corresponding period last year. Income from operation margin was 5.0%, representing an increase of 2 percentage points from 3.0% for the corresponding period last year. This improvement was mainly attributable to enhanced operational efficiency and an optimized cost structure, which strengthened the Group’s profitability at the operating level.

 

The overall average table turnover rate of Haidilao restaurants was 3.9 times per day in the first half of 2026, in line with the same period last year. The overall average same store table turnover rate was 4.0 times per day, an increase of 0.1 times per day year-on-year, while same store sales rose 1.7% year-on-year. Our restaurants recorded 16.2 million total guest visits during the first half of 2026, an increase of 4.5% year-on-year. Restaurant level operating margin was 10.7%, up 4.3 percentage points from 6.4% in the same period of 2025, reflecting the results of our earlier investment in organizational capabilities and operational improvements. We also expanded our global restaurant network steadily through our “bottom-up” approach, opening three new Haidilao restaurants during the Reporting Period. As of June 30, 2026, we operated 129 Haidilao restaurants in international markets, comprising 73 in Southeast Asia, 22 in East Asia, 22 in North America and 12 in other regions.

 

Alongside the ongoing development of the Haidilao restaurant operations, we broadened our revenue streams by expanding our delivery business, advancing our secondary restaurant brands under the “Pomegranate Plan”, and growing sales of hot pot condiment and food products. In the first half of 2026, revenue from the delivery business was US$14.8 million, an increase of 92.2% from the same period last year, while revenue from other businesses reached US$28.0 million, an increase of 143.5% from the same period of 2025.

 

BUSINESS REVIEW

 

During the Reporting Period, we remained committed to our core management philosophy of “Dual Focus on Employees and Customers (一手抓員工、一手抓顧客)”, concentrating our efforts on three fundamentals: employees, customers and products. To build employee capabilities, we stepped up staff training, operational reviews and store manager coaching. We also empowered frontline staff with greater on-site discretion while upholding high operating standards, enabling service delivery that is natural and personable. As store management capabilities continue to mature, stronger employee capabilities and improved organizational structures are translating into richer customer experiences and greater operating leverage.

In customer engagement, we refined our marketing approach around three complementary initiatives, ongoing brand marketing, targeted customer acquisition and membership engagement, further reinforcing the Haidilao brand. During the first half of 2026, we partnered with local artists and well-known animation and gaming IPs, building momentum around new product launches, local festivals and major events. Together with member community engagement, local area marketing and flexible store operating strategies, these initiatives helped drive customer traffic to our restaurants. As of the end of June 2026, we had 9.46 million Haidilao members. In day-to-day operations, regional teams enhanced local member engagement through multi-channel online interactive marketing, ongoing member events and an enhanced instore member experience, strengthening customer loyalty while further reinforcing the operational resilience of our restaurants and expanding our customer base.

 

With regard to products and menus, in the first half of 2026, the Company continued to focus on occasion-based segmentation, local innovation and menu optimization to create a “Different Haidilao (不一樣的海底撈)”. Our approach to product innovation is tailored to local consumer preferences and dining occasions, elevating well-loved dishes through innovations in flavor, presentation and pairings, creating a more compelling customer experience. We also developed product offerings for family gatherings, younger customers and late-night dining, broadening customer choice and improving the dining experience with offerings such as kids’ meal sets, spicy braised snacks paired with signature drinks, vegetable and mushroom platters, and beef and mutton combos. Across our core categories of beef, shrimp paste and fresh-cut meats, we enhanced our product portfolio with high-quality ingredients and differentiated combinations to meet the quality expectations of customers across different spending levels. We also continued to refine our menu based on new product sales performance, customer feedback and regional market characteristics, further optimizing our menu mix. Together, these efforts strengthened our product competitiveness and reinforced our commitment to delivering greater value and a more distinctive dining experience to our customers.

 

During the Reporting Period, we continued to invest in our headquarters capabilities, driving ongoing digital transformation and technology innovation. We deepened our market insight by improving data integration and business analytics, and enhanced store resource allocation and on-site execution by refining operational reviews, staffing analysis and shift management. We also extended digital tools and standardized support across procurement, supply chain, inventory and day-to-day expense management to improve organizational efficiency. We remain focused on consolidating our restaurant management and international operating expertise to support the diverse business concepts and brands under the “Pomegranate Plan”, enabling our headquarters capabilities to translate more effectively into stronger restaurant performance.

FUTURE PROSPECTS

 

Looking ahead, we will maintain our localized development strategy, with “customer satisfaction” and “employee dedication” as our core mission, as we work to build SUPER HI INTERNATIONAL into a multi-brand chain catering group:

 

·Continuing to improve the operating quality of existing restaurants: We will build on our work in customer service, product innovation and on-site management to create a more distinctive Haidilao experience, offering customers a wider range of products and value-added services and enhancing the operating quality of our restaurants.

 

·Optimizing and expanding our restaurant network: We will retain our “bottom-up” approach, seeking quality sites based on local market demand and operating conditions and entering new markets selectively to ensure steady and sustainable growth.

 

·Enhancing organizational efficiency and headquarters support: We will refine our digital tools, business analysis systems and talent development mechanisms, deepen the application of artificial intelligence and other technologies in restaurant operations and functional management, and improve resource allocation to help each region operate more independently.

 

·Advancing the “Pomegranate Plan” steadily: We will extend our coverage of dining occasions and business concepts through internal incubation and partnerships, focusing on validating the single-store model, operating capabilities and scalability, and expanding gradually once a model is proven in order to broaden our customer reach.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Revenue

 

The Group generated revenue from (i) Haidilao restaurant operations; (ii) delivery business; and (iii) others, primarily consisting of revenue from the sales of hot pot condiment products and food under secondary brands to local guests and retailers.

 

The Group’s revenue amounted to US$444.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing an increase of 12.1% from US$396.7 million for the corresponding period in 2025, primarily driven by an increase of US$24.5 million in revenue from Haidilao restaurant operations.

 

Haidilao Restaurant Operations

 

The Group’s revenue from Haidilao restaurant operations amounted to US$402.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing an increase of 6.5% from US$377.5 million for the corresponding period in 2025. This increase was mainly due to (i) the enhanced Haidilao restaurant performance, driven by higher average same store table turnover rates and increased customer traffic through our continuous efforts; and (ii) the continued strategic expansion of our business network in the first half of 2026.

Delivery Business

 

The Group’s revenue from delivery business amounted to US$14.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing an increase of 92.2% from US$7.7 million for the corresponding period in 2025.

The Group’s revenue from others amounted to US$28.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing an increase of 143.5% from US$11.5 million for the corresponding period in 2025, driven by (i) the increasing popularity of hot pot condiment products, Haidilao-branded and sub-branded food products among local customers and retailers; and (ii) the incubation of secondary branded restaurants under the “Pomegranate Plan” through diversification into multiple business concepts.

 

Other Income

This increase was primarily driven by (i) continued business expansion, in line with the Company’s revenue growth; and (ii) increased sales of hot pot condiment products, Haidilao-branded and sub-branded food products, and the expansion of the secondary branded restaurants. As a percentage of revenue, the Group’s raw materials and consumables used remained stable at 34.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 34.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

The Group’s staff costs amounted to US$151.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing an increase of 8.1% from US$140.2 million for the corresponding period in 2025. This increase was primarily attributable to (i) an increased number of employees to support the continued expansion of our restaurant network and enhance customer experience; (ii) ongoing investment in central support functions to strengthen management capabilities and operational efficiency; and (iii) higher statutory minimum wages in certain countries where we operated. As a percentage of revenue, the Group’s staff costs decreased from 35.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to 34.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

 

Rentals and Related Expenses

The Group’s property rentals and related expenses amounted to US$11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing an increase of 2.6% from US$11.6 million for the corresponding period in 2025. This increase was mainly due to the increased property management fees resulting from the continued expansion of our restaurant network.

 

Utilities Expenses

 

Utilities expenses primarily consisted of expenses on electricity, gas and water.

 

The Group’s utilities expenses remained relatively stable at US$14.1 million and US$14.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, respectively.

This increase was mainly due to the increase in depreciation of right-of-use assets of US$2.5 million, in line with the continued expansion of the restaurant network. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and amortization decreased from 10.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to 9.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to the increase in our revenue.

 

Traveling and Communication Expenses

 

Traveling and communication expenses mainly consisted of international and regional travel expenses of staff for new restaurants opening and inspection of restaurant operations.

 

The Group’s traveling and communication expenses remained stable at US$3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with US$3.7 million for the corresponding period in 2025. As a percentage of revenue, traveling and communication expenses remained relatively stable at 0.9% and 0.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, respectively.

 

Other Expenses

 

Other expenses consisted of (i) administrative expenses; (ii) outsourcing service fee; (iii) bank charges; (iv) consulting services expenses; and (v) others, which mainly consisted of daily maintenance expenses, storage expenses and business development expenses.

 

The Group’s other expenses amounted to US$45.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing an increase of 12.8% from US$40.7 million for the corresponding period in 2025. This increase was primarily attributable to (i) an increase in business development expenses of US$3.4 million, primarily attributable to enhanced marketing efforts in support of continued business expansion, including strengthened collaboration with third-party platforms, and (ii) an increase in outsourcing service fee of US$1.1 million, stemming from restaurant network expansion. As a percentage of revenue, other expenses remained relatively stable at 10.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with 10.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

 

Other (Losses) Gains – Net

 

Net other (losses) gains primarily consisted of (i) net impairment loss or reversal of impairment recognized in respect of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets, representing provisions recorded by the Group; (ii) loss or gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment and termination of leases, mainly arising from derecognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in relation to the termination of leases for certain premises; (iii) net foreign exchange (loss) gain, which fluctuated from year-to-year based on exchange rate movements; (iv) net gain or loss arising on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”); and (v) others.

 

The Group recorded net other losses of US$11.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to net other gains of US$23.4 million for the corresponding period in 2025. This change was primarily attributable to the recognition of US$8.6 million in net foreign exchange losses for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to net foreign exchange gains of US$23.8 million for the corresponding period in 2025, as a result of exchange rate fluctuations.

 

10

 

 

Finance Costs

 

Finance costs represented (i) interest on lease liabilities; and (ii) interest charge on unwinding of discounts, primarily in relation to provisions for restoration of the premises the Group used for the restaurants.

 

The Group’s finance costs amounted to US$6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing an increase of 10.9% from US$5.5 million for the corresponding period in 2025. This increase was directly attributable to the expansion of our restaurant network, which drove corresponding growth in both lease liabilities and restaurant restoration provisions.

 

Income Tax Expense

 

The Group recorded income tax expenses of US$6.4 million and US$9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026, respectively. The taxation of the Group was calculated at the rates prevailing in relevant jurisdictions, which ranged from 9% to 33% on the estimated assessable profits during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

 

Profit for the Period

 

As a result of the foregoing, the Group recorded profit for the period of US$2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. For the corresponding period in 2025, the Group recorded profit for the period of US$28.3 million. This change was primarily due to a US$32.4 million increase in net foreign exchange loss, mainly arising from unrealized foreign exchange losses on US dollar-denominated intra-group balances as local currencies depreciated against the United States dollar during the Reporting Period, partially offset by the improved income from operation margin.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories mainly consisted of food ingredients and other materials used in the restaurant operations, the hot pot condiment products for sale and food products under Haidilao brand and secondary brands.

 

The Group’s inventories amounted to US$34.8 million as of June 30, 2026, representing a decrease of 7.2% from US$37.5 million as of December 31, 2025. This decrease primarily reflected the normalization of inventory levels during the Reporting Period, following the higher inventory levels that had been built up towards the end of 2025 in anticipation of seasonal demand during the peak business season.

 

The turnover days of inventory decreased from 43.9 days for the year ended December 31, 2025 to 43.0 days for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Inventory turnover days equals the average of the beginning and ending inventories for that period divided by raw materials and consumables used for that period and multiplied by 360 days or 180 days.

 

11

 

 

Trade and Other Receivables and Prepayments

 

Trade and other receivables and prepayments primarily consisted of (i) trade receivables from credit card networks, food delivery platforms and payment platforms; (ii) prepayment to suppliers; (iii) input value-added tax to be deducted; and (iv) others.

 

The Group’s current portion of trade and other receivables and prepayments amounted to US$30.8 million as of June 30, 2026, representing a decrease of 13.7% from US$35.7 million as of December 31, 2025. This decrease was primarily attributable to higher trade receivable balances at the prior year end resulting from holiday season effects.

 

The Group’s non-current portion of trade and other receivables and prepayments consisted of non-current other receivables and non-current prepayments, which remained relatively stable at US$2.3 million and US$2.2 million as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026, respectively.

 

The turnover days of trade receivables for the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were 7.1 days and 6.4 days, respectively. Trade receivables turnover days for each period equals the average of the beginning and ending balances of trade receivables for that period divided by the revenue for the period and multiplied by 360 days or 180 days.

 

Trade Payables

 

Trade payables mainly consisted of the balances due to the Group’s suppliers of food ingredients and consumables. The majority of trade payables had a credit term of 30 to 60 days.

 

The Group’s trade payables amounted to US$33.6 million as of June 30, 2026, representing a decrease of 7.4% from US$36.3 million as of December 31, 2025. The decrease primarily reflected the settlement of payables relating to raw material purchases made at the end of the prior year in anticipation of the peak business season.

 

The turnover days of trade payables for the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were 42.6 days and 41.6 days, respectively. Trade payable turnover days for each period equals the average of the beginning and ending balances of trade payable for that period divided by raw materials and consumables used for the period and multiplied by 360 days or 180 days.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The primary uses of cash of the Group are to fund its operations, expansion and capital expenditures. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company primarily funded its working capital through cash generated from its operations, and it also adopted flexible and diverse financing methods when needed.

 

The Group has adopted prudent treasury policies in cash and financial management and closely monitors its liquidity and capital resources on a regular basis, and thus maintained a healthy liquidity position during the Reporting Period. To manage liquidity risk, the management closely monitors the Group’s liquidity position and maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalents, ensures the availability of funding, and preserves the ability to settle the Group’s payables. As of June 30, 2026, the Group had total bank balances and cash (including time deposits) of US$266.4 million and net current assets of US$204.6 million, with no bank borrowings. Taking into account the cash generated from its operations and its cash and cash equivalents, the Directors are of the view that the Group maintained a healthy liquidity position during the Reporting Period and has sufficient working capital to meet its present requirements.

Bank Borrowings

 

As of June 30, 2026, the Group did not have any bank borrowings or committed credit facilities.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The principal uses of cash are for working capital to open new restaurants and expand restaurant network, procure food ingredients, consumables and equipment, enhance supply chain management capabilities, conduct R&D to enhance digitalization and other technologies for restaurant management, and renovate and decorate the restaurants. As of June 30, 2026, the Group’s total bank balances and cash (including time deposits) amounted to US$266.4 million, representing a decrease of 2.1% from US$272.0 million as of December 31, 2025. Of this total, US$118.7 million was placed in time deposits with original maturities of over three months to one year, bearing fixed interest rates ranging from 4.12% to 7.80% per annum. Excluding such time deposits, the Group’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to US$147.7 million as of June 30, 2026.

 

Capital Expenditure

 

Capital expenditure represented additions to (i) leasehold improvements; (ii) machinery; (iii) transportation equipment; (iv) furniture and fixture; and (v) renovation in progress.

 

The Group’s capital expenditure amounted to US$35.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, which was mainly for the Group’s new restaurants opened and those still in the process of renovation and preparation.

 

The Group plans to finance future capital expenditures through cash generated from its operations, and cash and cash equivalents.

(3)Equals income from operation divided by total revenue for the same period.

 

(4)Equals restaurant level operating profit divided by restaurant level revenue for the same period.

 

Foreign Exchange Risk and Hedging

 

The Group undertook certain transactions in foreign currencies, which exposed it to foreign currency risks. The principal currency exposures arise from the fluctuations in the value of the US dollar relative to the local currencies of the markets in which the Group operates. During the Reporting Period, the Group recorded net foreign exchange losses of US$8.6 million (the corresponding period in 2025: net foreign exchange gains of US$23.8 million). The Group does not have a foreign exchange hedging policy and has not entered into any derivative contracts to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations. The Group manages its currency risks by closely monitoring the movement of the foreign currency rates, and by maintaining a diversified geographic revenue base.

 

However, given the significance of the foreign exchange impact on the Group’s results during the Reporting Period, the Board will continue to assess whether a formal hedging policy should be adopted and will keep shareholders informed.

 

Contingent Liabilities

 

As of June 30, 2026, the Group did not have any material contingent liabilities, guarantees or any litigations or claims of material importance, pending or threatened against any member of the Group that is likely to have a material and adverse effect on the Group’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

Material Acquisitions and Disposals

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company did not have any material acquisitions or disposals of any subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures for disclosure.

Significant Investment under Listing Rules

 

Our Group did not hold any investment (including wealth management products) that on a standalone basis carried a value of 5% or more of the Group’s total assets as of June 30, 2026. During the Reporting Period, the Group’s transactions in financial assets, on both standalone and aggregate basis, did not constitute notifiable transactions under Chapter 14 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”).

 

No Material Changes

 

Save as disclosed in this announcement, during the Reporting Period, there were no material changes affecting the Group’s performance that need to be disclosed under Paragraphs 40(2) and 46 of Appendix D2 to the Listing Rules.

 

Employees and Remuneration Policy

 

As of June 30, 2026, the Group had a total of 14,242 full-time and part-time employees. During the Reporting Period, the Group incurred staff costs (including salaries and other allowances, welfare and retirement benefit scheme contributions) of US$151.6 million.

 

The Group’s remuneration policy is determined by the salary levels in different regions, employee rank and performance and the market conditions. The Group also provides other benefits to its employees, including medical schemes, pension contribution schemes and share award schemes. To maintain the quality, knowledge and skill levels of the workforce, the Group provides regular and specialized trainings tailored to the needs of employees in different departments, including regular training sessions conducted by senior employees or third-party consultants covering various aspects of the business operations of the Group, for employees to stay up to date with both catering segment developments and service skills. The Group also organizes workshops from time to time to discuss specific topics.

 

Non-IFRS Financial Measure

 

In evaluating the Group’s business, the Group considers and uses a non-IFRS measure, restaurant level operating margin, which is calculated by dividing (i) restaurant level operating profit by (ii) restaurant level revenue, as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. The presentation of these non-IFRS financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.

 

Restaurant level operating margin is a supplemental measure of operating performance of the Group’s restaurants and its calculations thereof may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. Restaurant level operating margin has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered as a substitute for analysis of the Group’s results as reported under IFRS Accounting Standards.

 

Restaurant level revenue refers to the total revenue generated from the Group’s two major service lines – Haidilao restaurant operations and delivery business.

 

15

 

 

Restaurant level operating profit is calculated by deducting certain restaurant level costs and expenses from restaurant level revenue, including (i) restaurant level expenses, including cost of restaurant level raw materials and consumables used, restaurant level staff costs, restaurant level property rentals and related expenses, restaurant level utilities expenses, restaurant level depreciation and amortization, restaurant level traveling and communication expenses and other restaurant level expenses, including preopening expenses in each region; and (ii) management fees incurred in each region. The cost of restaurant level raw materials and consumables used included the cost of food ingredients and consumables associated with central kitchens that are used within the Group’s Haidilao restaurants as well as those procured directly from suppliers.

 

The Group believes that restaurant level operating margin is an important measure to evaluate the performance and profitability of each of the Group’s restaurants, individually and in the aggregate. The Group uses restaurant level operating margin information to benchmark the Group’s performance versus competitors.

 

The table set forth below reconciles total revenue to restaurant level revenue:

 

   For the six months

Less: Revenue (Others)   (27,927)   (11,527)
           
Restaurant level revenue   416,827    385,206 

 

The computation of restaurant level operating margin is as follows:    

 

    For the six months
ended June 30,
 
    2026     2025  
    (US$’000)

Restaurant level operating profit     44,431       24,816  
                 
Restaurant level operating margin*     10.7 %     6.4 %

 

*Restaurant level operating margin is calculated by dividing (i) restaurant level operating profit by (ii) restaurant level revenue.

Restaurant level operating profit   44,431    24,816 
           
Restaurant level operating margin   10.7%   6.4%

 

Notes:

 

(1)Income from operation is calculated by profit for the period excluding interest income (included within other income), finance costs, unrealized foreign exchange differences arising from remeasurement of balances which are not denominated in functional currency, net gain arising on financial assets at FVTPL and income tax expense.

 

(2)Other income primarily consists of the subsidies received from the local governments for the Group’s business development but does not include non-operating interest income.

 

(3)Non-restaurant level cost and expenses mainly relate to costs associated with revenue (others), operational costs and expenses associated with central kitchens, and corporate and unallocated costs.

 

(4)Raw materials and consumables used in non-restaurant level operations mainly relate to cost of food ingredients purchased by central kitchens that are not used for Haidilao restaurants, but which are used for sales of hot pot condiment products and food under Haidilao brand and secondary brands to local guests and retailers.

 

(5)Other losses – net primarily consist of net impairment loss (reversal) recognized in respect of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets, but do not include unrealized foreign exchange differences arising from remeasurement of balances which are not denominated in functional currency and net gain arising on financial assets at FVTPL.

13.PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT AND RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Group paid for additions to property, plant and equipment of USD34,439,000 (six months ended June 30, 2025: USD21,604,000)

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Group disposed of certain plant and equipment with an aggregate carrying amount of USD692,000 (six months ended June 30, 2025: USD590,000) for cash proceeds of USD47,000 (six months ended June 30, 2025: USD142,000), resulting in a loss of USD645,000 (six months ended June 30, 2025: USD448,000).

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Group entered into several new lease agreements for the use of restaurant operations with lease terms ranging from 13 months to 10 years (six months ended June 30, 2025: 24 months to 11 years). The Group is required to make fixed-term payments with predetermined annual incremental rental adjustments. On the lease commencement, the Group recognized right-of-use assets of USD18,525,000 (six months ended June 30, 2025: USD10,726,000) and lease liabilities of USD16,954,000 (six months ended June 30, 2025: USD10,113,000).

Impairment assessment

 

Property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. At the end of each reporting period, management also assessed if there were indications for reversal of impairment on certain property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets. For restaurant assets, impairment is tested at the individual restaurant level as a cash generating unit (CGU).

 

The recoverable amounts of CGUs have been determined based on value in use calculation. That calculation used discounted cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by the management of the Group covering the remaining lease periods which are between 1 to 5 years with pre-tax discount rates ranging from 8.1% to 17.5% (2025: 7.7% to 18.8%) per annum, which vary among restaurants operated in different countries. Cash flows beyond the 5-year period for those CGUs with remaining lease terms more than 5 years are extrapolated using a steady 0% to 3% growth rate (2025: 0% to 3%) per annum. Other key assumptions for the value in use calculations related to the estimation of cash inflows/outflows included revenue growth rate and average percentage of costs and operating expenses of revenue for the forecast periods, which are based on the CGUs’ past performance and the management’s expectations for the market development.

 

Based on the results of the assessments, the management of the Group determined that the recoverable amounts of certain CGUs are lower than the carrying amounts because of continuing weak performance due to competition and market conditions. The impairment loss has been allocated to each category of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets such that the carrying amount of each category of asset is not reduced below the highest of its fair value less cost of disposal, its value in use and zero. During the period, some restaurants have achieved significant improvement in their operations because of the optimization of internal management and general improvement of market conditions. Accordingly, management of the Group determined that the recoverable amounts of certain CGUs are higher than the carrying amounts. The reversal of impairment loss for the CGUs have been allocated to each category of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets such that the carrying amount of each category of asset is not increased above its recoverable amount and the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior periods.

 

Based on the value in use calculation and the allocation, gross impairment loss of USD2,407,000 (six months ended June 30, 2025: USD962,000), and gross reversal of USD1,554,000 (six months ended June 30, 2025: USD1,044,000) has been recognized against the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

 

Based on the value in use calculation and the allocation, gross impairment loss of USD572,000 (six months ended June 30, 2025: USD931,000) and gross reversal of USD9,000 (six months ended June 30, 2025: USD467,000) has been recognized against the carrying amount of right-of-use assets for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
