Revenue is generated through one-time property sales (HK development revenue rose 23% to HK$15.2 billion in 2025), recurring rental income from the commercial and residential portfolio, property management fees, construction contracts, retail sales, hospitality, and contributions from listed associates including Towngas (香港中華煤氣有限公司), Towngas Smart Energy (港華智慧能源有限公司), Hong Kong Ferry (Holdings) (香港小輪(集團)有限公司), and Sunlight REIT (陽光房地產基金). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales for property and construction, with direct showrooms, sales offices, and dedicated leasing teams across Hong Kong and mainland China. In 2025 the group reported attributable profit of HK$5.65 billion (-10% YoY), underlying profit of HK$6.06 billion (-38%), and cut its final dividend to HK$0.76 per share from HK$1.30.
