Auto dealer Tan Chong expects HK$327 million in gains from investments in 2025

Automotive group Tan Chong International said on Wednesday (Jan 7) that it expects to record an unaudited gain of HK$327 million (S$53.8 million) on its investments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income for the year ended Dec 31, 2025.

The company, which is dual-listed on the Hong Kong Exchange and the Singapore Exchange, said in a regulatory filing that that the gain is primarily from share price changes of its listed investments, which amounted to marked-to-market values of HK$280 million.

The remaining HK$47 million was an additional fair-value gain from the disposal of shares in Subaru Corporation. These disposals were carried out through the open market and the exercise of call options, which were previously disclosed on Sep 19, Sep 25 and Dec 9, 2025.

Tan Chong noted that the gains of HK$327 million would be reported in the group’s other comprehensive income statement for the period, and will not be reclassified to the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Separately, the company said that it expects to record an unaudited gain of HK$0.4 million from the exercise of the call options. This amount will be recognised directly in the group’s consolidated statement of profit or loss, it noted.

Tan Chong added that the information has not been confirmed or internally audited, and may be subject to adjustment after further internal review.
