BAGUIO GREEN (1397.HK) CEO and Executive Director Wu Yuqun stated that the cleaning industry in Hong Kong has developed maturely. The group has actively deployed strategies in recent years to cope with fierce competition by applying innovative technology and intelligent upgrades to enhance competitiveness, aiming for contracts with higher profit margins. In the future, it will further expand its business territory in intelligent products. As of the end of last year, the group's available cash and bank balances increased by 91% year-on-year. BAGUIO's Chief Financial Officer Chen Chuhui pointed out that the group's cash flow situation is ideal, holding over HKD 200 million in cash, and currently has no plans to adjust the 30% dividend policy while continuously monitoring suitable acquisition opportunities to actively expand its business territory.
