Capital Industrial Financial Services Group (CIFS), a leading financial services provider based in Hong Kong, reported a 12.7% decrease in revenue to HK$191.6m in 2024, marking a challenging year for the company [1]. Despite the revenue decline, CIFS managed to maintain an operating profit of HK$50.3m, only slightly lower than the previous year's HK$53.2m [1].

The reasons behind CIFS' revenue decline are multifaceted, with reduced revenue across various business segments contributing to the overall decrease [1]. However, the company's ability to maintain a relatively stable operating profit despite these challenges is noteworthy.

CIFS' net income attributable to owners of the company also decreased from HK$32.1m in 2023 to HK$28.7m in 2024 [1]. This decline can be attributed to a combination of factors, including the decrease in revenue and an increase in expenses.

One area where CIFS experienced significant growth was in its cost of services provided, which increased by 81.12% from the previous year [1]. This growth can be attributed to the company's efforts to expand its service offerings and increase its market share.

Despite the challenges faced in 2024, CIFS remains optimistic about its future prospects. The company's management team has expressed confidence in the company's ability to weather the current economic downturn and emerge stronger on the other side [2].
