Chairman's Statement
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the Board of Directors, we are pleased to present JUMBO Group Limited's Annual Report for the financial year ended 30 September ("FY") 2025. This year's theme, Cultivating Sustainable Growth, reflects our commitment to nurturing the foundations of the business, strengthening operational capabilities, and investing in initiatives that will support long-term, scalable and resilient growth. FY2025 was a year of thoughtful consolidation, disciplined execution and strategic development, laying the groundwork for the Group’s next phase of expansion.
Year in Review
FY2025 was shaped by a mixed macroeconomic landscape and was a year of deliberate cultivation across the Group. In Singapore, our core brands remained resilient, supported by steady domestic dining demand and consumers’ sustained interest in quality, experience-driven meals. While the pace of recovery moderated compared to earlier postpandemic period, strong brand equity and consistent service standards enabled stable contributions from our home market.
Internationally, economic headwinds—particularly in the PRC— continued to weigh on consumer sentiment. To navigate these conditions, the Group intensified its targeted local marketing efforts and deepened customer engagement initiatives, while maintaining a disciplined focus on cost efficiency, operational productivity and prudent resource allocation. These collective efforts helped stabilise performance and reinforced our market presence.
A notable highlight of the year was the introduction of Xing Yue Xuan, a contemporary Cantonese dining concept that broadens our brand portfolio and reflects our commitment to offering distinctive dining experiences that respond to evolving customer preferences. In parallel, we continued to make progress on our Indonesia development, in line with our measured and focused approach to regional expansion.
FY2025 also saw meaningful progress in reinforcing our operational foundation. Our initiative to consolidate the Group’s corporate headquarters, central kitchen and key operational teams into a single purpose-built building advanced steadily. While the project remains in progress, we completed substantial preparatory work—from infrastructure readiness to workflow harmonisation—laying the groundwork for a unified facility that will enhance productivity, collaboration, R&D capabilities and quality control. During the year, the Group also successfully launched its integrated mobile application. The application brings together our JUMBO Rewards programme with key digital touchpoints, supporting deeper customer engagement and convenience in interaction with our brand.
Workforce development remained central to our strategy. The JUMBO Academy continued to support talent and skills development across the organisation. Our partnerships—including the MOU with the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) and the Workplace Learning: READY Mark Recognition from NACE@NYP—underscore our long-term commitment to cultivating a future-ready workforce. This commitment was further recognised when JUMBO was named a SkillsFuture Singapore Best Employer (Gold), affirming our efforts in workplace learning and capability building.
Taken together, these initiatives demonstrate the Group’s commitment to building sustainable, longterm growth through operational strengthening, thoughtful innovation and continued investment in our people. As we look ahead, we remain focused on enhancing organisational resilience and building a more agile, efficient and future-ready Group.
Financial Highlights
In FY2025, the Group delivered a stable topline performance despite a challenging operating environment. Revenue stood at S$190.3 million, a marginal decrease of 0.1% from FY2024, reflecting steady demand even as cost pressures and macroeconomic headwinds intensified.
While revenue remained resilient, profitability was affected by higher operating costs and softer demand in certain regional markets. Profit attributable to shareholders was S$8.7 million, representing a yearon-year decline of 36.6%.
The Group continued to generate positive operating cash flow, underscoring the strength of its core operations. At the same time, continued investments in expansion initiatives, digital infrastructure and the Group’s consolidation project contributed to higher capital and financing outlays, resulting in net cash outflow from financing activities. These investments reflect the Group’s long-term focus on bolstering operational capabilities and supporting future growth.
Dividends
The Board is pleased to propose a final dividend of 0.25 cent per share and a special dividend of 0.50 cent per share, bringing the total dividend for FY2025 to 1.25 cents per share. This proposal reflects our commitment to rewarding shareholders for their continued support while balancing the Group’s longterm investment priorities.
Going Forward
As we move into FY2026, our key priority is completing the consolidation of our corporate, central kitchen and operational teams into a single integrated facility. This will improve coordination, enhance productivity and provide a solid foundation for the Group’s next phase of growth.
In Singapore, we will be introducing JUMBOREE, a new food hall concept that brings together JUMBO’s diverse portfolio of brands alongside a curated selection of popular Singaporean hawker favourites under one communal dining space. This concept allows us to showcase the breadth of our culinary offerings while improving operational synergies across brands. In line with this, we will also reintroduce nostalgic favourites such as JPOT, our classic hotpot concept that has been well received by customers in earlier years.
Regionally, the Group will continue to adopt a targeted and selective approach to expansion, focusing on markets where JUMBO’s brand strengths and operational capabilities can be deployed effectively. We remain committed to cultivating long-term value through thoughtful capital allocation and strategic execution.
Our digital transformation efforts will continue, with emphasis on strengthening customer engagement, operational visibility and process automation. At the same time, we will continue investing in our people and advancing our sustainability efforts, ensuring that the Group grows responsibly and remains agile in a changing environment.
Acknowledgements
We extend our sincere appreciation to our shareholders, customers, partners and business associates for your trust and continued support. To our dedicated employees across all markets, we thank you for your professionalism, resilience and commitment to excellence. As we cultivate the next stage of JUMBO’s growth—bringing our people, capabilities and operations together under one roof— we are confident that the Group is well-positioned to unlock new opportunities and deliver sustainable, long-term value for all stakeholders.
