Travel agency Cinese International Group Holdings (HKG:1620) expects to report a loss before tax of at least HK$28.0 million for 2024, against a profit before tax of HK$5.2 million in 2023, according to its Tuesday bourse filing.

The anticipated loss stems primarily from a HK$29.7 million provision for expected credit losses on financial assets, contrasting with a HK$1.2 million ECL reversal in the prior year, due to deteriorating receivables from certain debtors.

The results will be published by March 28.

Cinese International Group Holdings' shares gained more than 4% at market close.
