Roxy-Pacific Holdings says it expects to report losses for the 2HFY2020 and FY2020 ended Dec 31, 2020, due to the negative impact on its earnings due to the prolonged Covid-19 pandemic.
The losses are mainly due to expected impairments on hotel assets incurred by its hospitality segment, and share of losses in overseas associated companies.

The latter resulted in impairments of properties and additional tax expenses incurred following the final assessment by the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department.
The guidance was based on a preliminary review of the group’s unaudited financial results for 2HFY2020 and FY2020.
