Each segment functions within a distinct regulatory, political, and economic environment, and its financial performance is influenced by local market dynamics and strategic initiatives. The segments are also at different stages of development, with Hong Kong and Singapore being the most mature. Following the cessation of consumer-facing operations in Malaysia and Other Asia in prior years, the Company has four operating and reportable segments in 2025: Hong Kong, Singapore, the Philippines, and Taiwan. Management monitors the results of the Group’s operating segments separately for the purpose of assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocations. Segment performance is evaluated based on reportable segment results which is a measure of operating profit/(loss) before tax.
