Edvantage Group’s Interim Profit Plunges on Lower Enrolments and Margin Pressure

Edvantage Group Holdings Limited ( (HK:0382) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Edvantage Group Holdings Limited reported interim results for the six months ended 28 February 2026 showing softer operating performance amid a decline in student enrolments. Revenue slipped 4.9% year-on-year to RMB1.19 billion, while the number of students fell 7.1% to 93,170, highlighting pressure on the group’s core education business.

Profitability weakened more sharply as gross profit dropped 41.5% to RMB282.3 million and profit attributable to shareholders fell 58.4% to RMB101.5 million. Basic earnings per share declined nearly 60%, indicating a materially lower return to investors and suggesting that higher costs and lower utilisation are weighing on margins despite slightly lower selling and administrative expenses and reduced finance costs.

Total comprehensive income also contracted significantly compared with the prior-year period, reflecting both weaker profit and adverse foreign exchange movements. The results signal a more challenging operating environment for the group’s private education operations and may prompt closer scrutiny from shareholders regarding enrolment trends, cost control, and the sustainability of earnings.
