Tempus Announces 2016 Interim Results

to Cooperate with the Diversified Development of the Group

(Hong Kong, 16 August 2016) Tempus Holdings Limited ("Tempus" or the "Company"; Stock Code: 6880.HK), announces the unaudited condensed interim financial results of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred as the "Group") for the six months ended 30 June 2016 (the "Reporting Period") together with the comparative figures for the six months ended 30 September 2015.

During the Reporting Period, the Group's revenue was approximately HK$253.5 million, with 86.1% derived from health and wellness business, and 13.9% from cross-border business, which commenced in the first half of 2016. The increase in revenue was mainly due to the additional revenue of approximately HK$35.2 million from the newly commenced cross-border trading business. The gross profit was approximately HK$153.9 million and the gross profit margin was 60.7%. The profit for the Reporting Period was approximately HK$4.9 million, mainly due to less corporate and international sales which have higher net profit margin compared with traditional sales channels.

Star Product Remains Top Sales and New Products Launched to Meet the Market Demand
During the Reporting Period, the segment revenue from health and wellness business was approximately HK$218.3 million. The segment gross profit margin was approximately 69.9%, representing an increase of 5.1 percentage point as compared to gross profit margin for the six months ended 30 September 2015. The increase was mainly due to the change of sales portfolio, inter alia, an increase of retails sales, which has a higher gross profit margin as compared to the decrease of corporate and international sales which has a lower gross profit margin.

During the Reporting Period, the Group has newly developed and launched two key new products: the "II-Zone Luxe", an exquisite leisure massage chair and the "Row Bike", an innovative fitness equipment enabling rowing, horse riding and cycling exercises at the same time. Both the "II-Zone Luxe" and the "Row Bike" will be the key products in the second half of 2016.

Outlook
The management of the Group concluded, "Despite the slowdown of China's economic growth, the weakening retail market in Hong Kong and the increased capital market volatility, which had been undermining the consumers' sentiment and buying power, we are still confident in the Group's future development. We will continue actively seeking appropriate investment and merger and acquisition opportunities, especially in health and wellness and cross-border business sectors so as to enrich the embedded value of the Group. Vigorously supported by Tempus Group, the controlling shareholder, we will strengthen the business cooperation with other business arms in Tempus Group to strive for the breakthrough in Internet sales and corporate sales channels in the mainland China."
