China Resources Beverage (Holdings) Company Limited ( (HK:2460) ) has provided an announcement.

China Resources Beverage has warned that profit attributable to shareholders for 2025 is expected to decline by about 40% from RMB1.64 billion in 2024, based on preliminary unaudited figures. The company attributes the drop mainly to increased marketing spending, ongoing product portfolio adjustments, and channel transformation, alongside continued pressure on its packaged water segment and weaker-than-expected beverage business growth.

Management described these factors as having a temporary impact on annual profitability as it pursues its longer-term strategy, signaling a trade-off between short-term earnings and strategic investment. The company cautioned shareholders and potential investors to exercise care when dealing in its shares ahead of the full 2025 annual results, which will be released by the end of March 2026.
