Ongoing Industry Cyclical Volatility Continues to Weigh on Financial Results
Technological Certainty as a Hedge against Cyclical Headwinds

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 July 2026 – L.K. Technology Holdings Limited (Stock code: 558, the “LK TECH”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) announces the annual results for the twelve months ended 31 March, 2026 (the “Year”).

During the Year, although the lightweighting and integrated die-casting technology trends in new energy vehicles continued to accelerate and the policy dividends from large-scale equipment renewal were released, the intelligent equipment manufacturing industry in which the Group operates underwent a cyclical adjustment, with demand-side pressures being particularly pronounced. These included downward pressure on new orders for large and extra-large die-casting equipment, as downstream vehicle enterprises faced slowing retail sales growth and tightened capital expenditures; intensifying competition in the traditional mature sectors, which weakened the growth momentum of orders for small and medium-sized die-casting equipment; and the strain arising from multiple strategic technology investments made in advance during the Year and timing differences in revenue recognition for certain orders. As a result, the Group’s overall performance for the Year came under significant strain. During the Year, the revenue amounted to HK$5,609 million; gross profit amounted to HK$1,375 million, with gross margin at 24.5%; net profit was adjusted to HK$49.5 million, with a net profit margin of 0.9%.

During the Year, the Group maintained a solid financial position, with total assets of HK$13.3 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 11.2%, and net cash of HK$1.32 billion.

Deep Synergy and Complementary Empowerment across the Three Core Businesses

The Group has three major business segments: die-casting, which handles metal blank forming; injection molding, which enables plastic part forming; and CNC machining centre, which performs high-precision finishing. Together, they cover the key processes of the entire precision forming industry chain. Despite the challenging market environment, the Group adheres to a technology‑led and market-first approach, upholding its core strategies of technology leadership and global expansion. With deep synergy among the three businesses, the Group’s leading industry position and competitive foundation remain solid.

The die-casting machinery business is the Group’s core business, with automotive vehicles industries continuing to be the primary revenue source for this sector. However, during the Year, the sector’s performance came under significant pressure due to weak downstream demand, industry competition that squeezed revenue, and the multiple effects of various strategic investments made in advance. Die-casting machinery business’s revenue for the Year amounted to HK$3,663 million, accounting for 65.3% of the Group’s total revenue. The injection molding segment generated revenue of HK$1,798 million during the Year, representing 32.1% of the Group’s total revenue, while its business achieved diversified growth breakthroughs. Notably, revenue from the toy industry achieved growth of over 55% for the second consecutive year, with its revenue contribution increasing to 16.7%, making it the second-largest application sector. The segment also achieved a three-year compound annual growth rate of 38.7%, demonstrating the Group’s strong ability to capture opportunities in high-growth industries and the competitiveness of its products. Revenue from the CNC machining centre business amounted to HK$148 million, representing 2.6% of total revenue.

Dual Leadership in Delivery and Product, Deepening Core Advantages

The Group’s key industry clients are currently undergoing cyclical structural adjustments, which is further driving the competitive landscape toward consolidation among leading enterprises that possess technological barriers, economies of scale, and comprehensive full-lifecycle service capabilities. Simultaneously, higher requirements are being placed on equipment products, which must be highly precise, intelligent and suited to lightweight manufacturing processes. Therefore, the Group remains committed to technology-driven development, focusing on core technological breakthroughs and capacity building across the entire industry chain. Its research and development (R&D) investment continues to maintain high intensity, high precision, with R&D expenses reaching HK$318 million during the Year, representing a year-on-year increase of 24.6%. This effectively constructs a technological moat and provides strong support for the expansion of its product markets.

In the core field of ultra-large integrated die-casting, the Group continues to deepen its strategic cooperation with leading automobile manufacturers and suppliers, empowering the new energy vehicle industry. During the Year, the Group successfully commercialised the world’s first 16,000T ultra-large intelligent die-casting unit, setting a new industry benchmark for ultra-large tonnage die-casting equipment applications; at the same time, the Group continues to secure and deliver multiple 9000T-class ultra-large die casting machines. The Group’s 6,000T–16,000T ultra-large intelligent die-casting cells, which deeply integrate digital twin technology with the LK-NET cloud die-casting management system, were selected as one of the “Outstanding Cases of New Quality Productive Forces in the Automotive Industry 2025”. These solutions are fully compatible with the mass production requirements for full vehicle body structural components of automobile manufacturers. As at the end of the Year, the Group continued to rank first in the industry globally in terms of the cumulative number of ultra-large die-casting machines delivered, solidifying its leading position.

In the field of magnesium alloy forming technology, the Group’s TPI semi-solid magnesium alloy forming technology has formed a full-scale product matrix covering everything from small precision parts to ultra-large structural parts. It also supports modular transformation of traditional die-casting equipment, enabling a 50% reduction in energy consumption and a 20% increase in product toughness, thereby providing critical support for the commercialisation of magnesium alloys application. During the Year, the Group’s self-developed 5,000-tonne TPI semi-solid forming module successfully secured an order from a leading OEM for the production of inner tailgate panels for new energy vehicles. By integrating into a single component the functions that previously required nine separate sheet metal parts to form the inner tailgate panels, the equipment achieves a 45% reduction in weight and increases material utilisation to 70%, effectively balancing lightweighting and cost control.

The Group’s TPI semi-solid forming technology, leveraging unique process advantages, offers customers a better technical route for magnesium alloy die casting equipment layout; its modular upgrade solution also provides existing industry customers with a practical pathway to rapidly adopt magnesium alloy technology. Benefiting from this, orders for the Group’s TPI magnesium alloy equipment continued to grow strongly, with shipment value exceeding RMB100 million. Revenue generated from the related business increased by 291.1% in the second half of the financial year as compared with the first half of the financial year.

In the field of advanced materials and special casting, the Group’s self-developed zirconium-based amorphous alloy die casting equipment integrates vacuum melting, automatic solid material feeding and full-process automation into a single system. Having reached internationally advanced standards in technical performance, this equipment addresses a key gap in the domestic equipment market. This equipment can be used for large-scale production of high-end products such as foldable screen hinges and medical implants. In expanding its portfolio of special casting equipment, the Group’s low-pressure die-casting machines feature innovative inert gas pressurisation and waste heat recovery technologies, reducing overall energy consumption by 30%. These machines are now widely used in the manufacture of products such as automotive wheels and motor end covers. The horizontal extrusion casting machine is equipped with a dual pressure and speed control system, meeting the production requirements for high-performance components such as automotive steering knuckles, subframes, and battery end plates.

In the field of high-end intelligent machining and industrial big data, the Group has developed an integrated intelligent machining system in response to industry challenges associated with the post-processing of large die-cast components. The system’s local data processing rate exceeds 90% and it achieves an accuracy rate of over 95% in predicting machining abnormalities. Its key technical performance indicators have reached internationally advanced standards. The technology has completed engineering validation on five-axis gantry machining centres and post-processing equipment for large die-cast components, and forms a more competitive, integrated intelligent manufacturing solution. Additionally, the Group successfully overcame technical challenges in the high-precision forming process for hydraulic valves, further enhancing its in-house capabilities in the supply of core components. On the other hand, leveraging digital twin technology, the Group developed intelligent die-casting cells capable of intelligent prediction of process parameters, remote equipment diagnostics and digitalised management and control throughout the entire production process.

Further Advancement in Strategic Layout and Sustained Improvement in Operational Efficiency

Diversified Track Strategy: To effectively respond to cyclical fluctuations in the traditional automotive industry, the Group proactively adjusted its business structure. On the basis of deepening its presence in the new energy vehicle track to consolidate its core foundation, it comprehensively laid out new productivity tracks such as energy storage, AI computing power, humanoid robots, and specialised casting, thereby achieving diversified expansion of customer structure and application scenarios.

Global Expansion Strategy: The Group’s “going global” strategy proved highly effective over the year, and it has successfully built a development framework that combines “high-end breakthroughs in Europe and the US” with “deep cultivation of emerging markets”. In particular, revenue from Europe surged by 64.4% year-on-year, benefitting from robust demand for new energy equipment and high-end manufacturing. The Group also successfully secured a high-end equipment order from a well-known European vehicle enterprise, breaking the long-standing market barrier that made it difficult for Chinese companies to enter the supply chains of mainstream European and American vehicle enterprises. Driven by the ongoing industrial relocation, revenue from other emerging markets and the Asia-Pacific region increased by 76.9% year-on year as orders grew rapidly. The localised sales and service network now covers countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia. Although revenue from the North American market declined year-on-year, the Group’s diversified global market presence effectively mitigated the impact of fluctuations in any single regional market.

Reducing Costs and Improving Efficiency Strategy: The Group has continuously optimised its production layout and advanced the digitalisation of its supply chain. It has also been advancing in-house R&D and production of core components in a systematic manner, complemented by long-standing and stable relationships with upstream suppliers and centralised procurement of bulk raw materials to mitigate cost volatility. Meanwhile, the Group will steadily upgrade its manufacturing facilities with intelligent production lines, further reinforcing its cost-reduction foundation from the production side.

Mr. Liu Zhuo Ming, Chief Executive Officer of L.K. Technology Holdings Limited stated, “Looking back over the past year, we see that the global equipment manufacturing industry was undergoing structural adjustment. Although earnings are under significant pressure, the Group’s leading position remains secure. As at the end of the Year, the Group continued to rank first in the industry globally in terms of the cumulative number of ultra-large die-casting machines delivered, underpinning a solid competitive foundation. Looking ahead, the Group will leverage technological strengths as a strategic anchor against cyclical headwinds, drive deep breakthroughs across multiple fronts, and position itself to emerge stronger from the cycle. Going forward, the Group remains committed to a strategy of technology leadership, capitalising on market opportunities while deepening the Group’s global presence and making a comprehensive push into diverse sectors such as energy storage, photovoltaics, robotics, and computing power cooling. In addition, the Group is building a smart service system centred on ‘AI + Equipment’, adhering to a dual-track approach driven by both customised and forward-looking R&D, with the goal of becoming our customers’ ‘full-lifecycle value partner’ and delivering sustainable, substantial returns to shareholders and investors.”

Forest City SFZ Highlights Early JS-SEZ Traction as Investment Pipeline Expands

Published

on

Singapore-based companies have committed more than S$5.5 billion in Johor since the JS-SEZ memorandum of understanding, while IMFC-J reported 1,000 enquiries linked to RM73 billion in potential investment in March 2026.

JOHOR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 July 2026 – Forest City Special Financial Zone (Forest City SFZ) today issued a progress update on the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), pointing to early implementation milestones in investment facilitation, financial-services incentives and cross-border connectivity.

Forest City, Johor

The JS-SEZ agreement, signed on 7 January 2025, covers approximately 3,588 square kilometres across southern Johor. It comprises nine flagship areas and targets investment in 11 sectors, including manufacturing, logistics, financial services, the digital economy, tourism, education, healthcare and the green economy. Forest City is the designated financial-services flagship within the framework.

“The JS-SEZ has moved beyond framework design and into early-stage execution. Forest City has a defined role in financial services and family-office activity, while the wider zone is building a pipeline across multiple industries,” a Forest City SFZ spokesperson said.

Investment pipeline builds across the JS-SEZ

Singapore’s Ministry of Trade and Industry said Singapore-based companies had committed more than S$5.5 billion in investments into Johor since the JS-SEZ memorandum of understanding was signed in January 2024. The figure was highlighted at the second JS-SEZ Joint Investment Forum in Singapore in October 2025.

On the Malaysian side, the Invest Malaysia Facilitation Centre Johor (IMFC-J) reported in March 2026 that it had received 1,000 investor enquiries and was facilitating RM73 billion in potential investment.

IMFC-J is a joint federal-state one-stop centre led by the Iskandar Regional Development Authority, Invest Johor and the Malaysian Investment Development Authority.

The figures represent investment commitments and potential project value rather than fully realised capital expenditure, but provide an early measure of the commercial pipeline forming around the economic corridor.

Forest City builds financial-services proposition

Malaysia announced the Forest City SFZ incentive package in September 2024, followed by the gazettement of the Single Family Office (SFO) tax rules in October 2025. Under the scheme, a qualifying SFO vehicle may receive a 0% tax rate on eligible investment income for an initial 10-year period, with a possible extension for a further 10 years, subject to asset, local investment, staffing and operating-expenditure requirements.

The initial phase requires at least RM30 million in assets under management. The wider Forest City incentive framework also includes a 5% corporate tax rate for qualifying global-services and selected relocation activities, while eligible knowledge workers in the JS-SEZ may qualify for a 15% personal income tax rate, subject to prevailing rules and approvals.

According to Forest City data, nine family offices had received approvals under the scheme by June 2026. The Securities Commission Malaysia had previously reported more than 30 expressions of interest and has set a target of RM2 billion in SFO assets under management by the end of 2026.

Separately, Forest City said 593 applicants were approved for the SFZ category of the Malaysia My Second Home programme between 1 October 2024 and 31 March 2026, indicating demand from investors, professionals and long-stay residents alongside the financial-services push.

Cross-border measures support the dual-market model

The JS-SEZ framework is intended to combine Johor’s land, industrial capacity and cost base with Singapore’s capital, connectivity and business ecosystem. Measures under the bilateral framework include investor facilitation, automated immigration channels, paperless goods clearance and improved transport links.

Singapore has rolled out QR-code immigration clearance across travel modes at the Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints. Travellers should continue to carry their passports, which may still be required for verification and for clearance at the Malaysian border.

The Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System Link is targeted to begin passenger service by the end of 2026. The four-kilometre line will connect Bukit Chagar and Woodlands North in about five minutes and is designed to carry up to 10,000 passengers per hour in each direction during peak periods.

Execution and conversion remain the next test

The World Bank projects Malaysia’s economy to expand by 4.4% in 2026, supported by domestic demand, while warning that trade restrictions, global policy uncertainty and weaker external demand remain downside risks.

For the JS-SEZ, the next phase will be measured by the conversion of enquiries and commitments into approved projects, realised investment, skilled employment and operating businesses. Delivery of transport, utilities, talent development and regulatory coordination will also determine the pace at which companies adopt a cross-border operating model.

“The early indicators are encouraging, but the economic impact should be assessed over a multi-year horizon. The priority now is to convert the pipeline into sustainable business activity, jobs and a deeper professional-services ecosystem,” the spokesperson said.

Forest City SFZ said it will continue working with public agencies, financial institutions and professional-service providers to support family offices, international investors and companies evaluating Johor as part of their regional growth strategy.

Key figures

Indicator Latest stated figure
JS-SEZ coverage Approximately 3,588 km²; nine flagship areas; 11 priority sectors
Singapore-linked commitments More than S$5.5 billion committed into Johor since January 2024
IMFC-J pipeline 1,000 enquiries; RM73 billion in potential investment as at March 2026
