Asia Pioneer Entertainment Holdings Limited (“APE” – 8400.HK), a Macau-based electronic gaming equipment (EGE) supplier listed on the Growth Enterprise Market (GEM) market of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, issued a positive profit alert on Friday for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
The Post received the company’s statement about its profit alert yesterday.
Based on a preliminary review of APE’s latest unaudited consolidated management accounts, it expects to record turnover of approximately HK$34.0 million for the six-month period, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 47.3 percent compared to HK$23.0 million for the corresponding period in 2025, the statement said.
In terms of net profit performance, the statement noted that APE expects Total Comprehensive Income (after tax) for the first half of 2026 to be approximately in the range of HK$2.2 million-HK$2.4 million, representing a substantial surge of nearly 90-fold, compared to HK$24,959 recorded in the first half of last year, the statement underlined.
The APE board of directors attributed the jump in improved revenues and profits to its core business segment of technical sales and distribution of Electronic Gaming Equipment (EGE) which grew by 56.2 percent in revenue for the first six months of the year compared to the same period in the previous year, the statement noted.
According to the statement, the company expects to officially announce its finalised interim results for the first half of the year by the end this month.
The statement quoted the company’s CFO Tony C.L. Chan of APE as saying that APE “delivered a
very solid operational performance in the first half of 2026, underscored by robust growth in our core EGE distribution business.
“Alongside our financial recovery, we achieved crucial strategic milestones in H1 by launching BEE MACAU – Macau’s first casino-grade playing card manufacturer – and the rollout of our cash conversion tech solutions.
“While these new ventures are in their early stages and have not yet contributed directly to H1 revenue, they lay a solid foundation for future top-line growth. “This positive profit alert validates the strength and resilience of our core business.
“Together with these two new business lines, we are exceptionally confident in our vision to provide a seamless, ‘one-stop shop’ ecosystem”.
