An update from Clifford Modern Living Holdings Ltd ( (HK:3686) ) is now available.

Clifford Modern Living Holdings has revised its dividend policy, cutting the minimum payout ratio from 50% to 25% of audited consolidated profit attributable to shareholders in any financial year. The board retains discretion over interim, final and special dividends, citing the need for greater flexibility in managing cash flow amid a challenging operating environment.

The company reported that profit from operations, excluding certain fair value and forex effects, fell about 9.2% year-on-year in 2025 as revenue declined from RMB367.4 million to RMB320.3 million. Management linked the drop mainly to a restructuring of its group catering business and broader macroeconomic headwinds, warning that ongoing pressures and intense competition across its segments may continue to weigh on revenues and profitability, reinforcing the rationale for a more conservative dividend stance.
