*The weighted average number of ordinary shares included in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share has been adjusted to exclude ordinary shares repurchased and held by the Company as treasury shares. The number of ordinary shares so held at the reporting date is detailed in note 18.

Diluted (loss)/earnings per share is consistent with basic (loss)/earnings per share, as there are no dilutive potential shares during the periods presented above.

Please refer to note 18 for any details of transactions involving ordinary shares for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

There have been no material transactions involving ordinary shares between the reporting date and the authorization of these consolidated financial statements.
