JBM Healthcare Issues Positive Profit Alert

HONG KONG, Nov 1, 2024 - (ACN Newswire) - JBM (Healthcare) Limited (“JBM Healthcare” or the “Company”; Stock Code: 2161, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”), a leading branded healthcare products marketer and distributor in Hong Kong, has today announced a positive profit alert. Based on a preliminary review of the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group for the six months ended 30 September 2024 and the information currently available to the board of directors of the Company, the Group expects to record an increase in the consolidated profit attributable to shareholders for the six months ended 30 September 2024 (“Consolidated Profit”) by not less than 50% as compared to that for the same period last year.

The significant increase in Consolidated Profit was primarily driven by the robust sales momentum of the Group’s key brands, notably Ho Chai Kung in the branded medicines segment and Po Chai Pills in the proprietary Chinese medicines segment. This was further supported by the sustained growth of the Group’s concentrated Chinese medicine granules business . This encouraging performance reflects the Group’s effective execution of sales and marketing strategies across both offline and online channels, capitalising on the growth potential of branded consumer healthcare products in the markets of Hong Kong, Macau and cities within the Greater Bay Area.

The Group continues to make progress on its strategic priorities, including expanding e-commerce platforms locally and cross-border, exploring opportunities in traditional Chinese medicines for Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area, adapting its product mix to consumer trends, leveraging its brand management strengths, and enhancing commercial execution.
