  The Group's revenue rose by 45.0% to US$501.54 million, boosted by the global K-Beauty momentum and the scaled expansion of its B2B platform, which accounted for nearly 30% of the Group's revenue. Gross profit increased by 40.9% to US$148.50 million, and gross profit margin remained relatively stable at 29.6%. Operating profit also grew by 28.2% to US$31.90 million.

  Market diversification pays off as non-core markets lead global growth 
  Building on stable revenue from its core markets (the US, UK, Canada, and Australia), the Group accelerated its expansion into mainland Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and other emerging markets. In 2025, non-core markets accounted for over half of the Group's total revenue, significantly outpacing core markets in growth and becoming the primary catalyst of its business across the globe. Among these regions, Latin America and the Middle East recorded the strongest upward trend, with growth of 224.4% and 75.5% respectively, while Europe and Associated Countries remained the Group's largest regional market. 
  Social media marketing and influencer engagement remain core drivers of  YesStyle's growth strategy. During 2025, the number of  YesStyle influencers increased to over 502,000, representing a year-on-year growth rate of approximately 24.6%. Revenue generated from influencer referrals reached approximately US$104.8 million, up approximately 43.0% year‑on‑year, and accounted for approximately 30% of  YesStyle's total revenue, highlighting the continued strengthening of the  YesStyle influencer ecosystem. 
  Meanwhile,YesStyle bolstered its localization efforts to capture opportunities in non-English-speaking markets. In July 2025, it launched a Polish-language website, expanding its language offerings to nine. Combined with social-media-driven marketing, regional campaigns via a robust network of influencers, and AI-powered solutions, the Group extended K-Beauty's reach to a broader audience worldwide. This momentum is further amplified by the opening of Yesful Land in Seoul, South Korea, a physical hub where influencers and the K-Beauty community can converge and create authentic content, bridging digital engagement with real-world experience. 
  B2C-B2B synergy fuels performance with      ABW business scaling rapidly 
  YesAsia Holdings is an authorized distributor for over 475 K-Beauty brands, serving both B2C and B2B channels. The dual-growth-engine strategy continued to bear fruit in 2025, fortifying the Group's overall market influence and ongoing advancement. 
  Notably,  ABW maintained its vigorous growth trajectory in 2025, with the newly launched  ABW Offline business generating almost US$50 million in revenue in its debut year, underscoring the strong international retail demand for K-Beauty products. During the Year,  ABW established distribution networks for 56 leading retailers across 26 markets, spanning North America, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia. Prominent partners include Target, Costco, Primark, Douglas, Sally Beauty, Watsons, and Nykaa. These collaborations have enabled the Group and its K-Beauty brand partners to reach millions of consumers through established offline retail networks, effectively tapping into a market segment that remains significantly larger than its online counterpart. 
  Mr. Joshua Lau, Founder, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer, said: "Looking ahead, we are confident that K-Beauty's global development impetus will only gather steam as it has transitioned from a niche category into a mainstream retail staple. To capture the opportunities that arise, we will deepen engagement in non-core markets through targeted and localized digital initiatives. At the same time, we are accelerating our B2B business by connecting K-Beauty brands with international retailers, and leveraging our logistics network and AI-driven capabilities. With dual growth engines in B2C and B2B, advanced technology, and a dedicated team, YesAsia Holdings is well-positioned to soar to new heights and deliver long-term value to shareholders and stakeholders."

Jollibee Advances to Top 5 in Global Brand Strength Rankings, Signaling Continued Momentum

MANILA, PHILIPPINES -  Media OutReach Newswire - 27 March 2026 - Jollibee, the flagship brand of the  Jollibee Group, has been ranked the fifth-strongest restaurant brand worldwide in the  Brand Finance Restaurants 25 2026 report, reinforcing the brand's growing global competitiveness and resonance across markets. 
       
 The 2026 ranking marks a significant rise from ninth place in 2025, reflecting a measurable strengthening of Jollibee's global brand equity. Its Brand Strength Index (BSI) improved to 87.9/100 from 83.9 the previous year—one of the most notable gains among ranked restaurant brands—indicating increased consumer familiarity, preference, and advocacy across both established and emerging markets. 
  In the same report, Brand Finance also noted that Jollibee remains the Philippines' sole representative among the world's 25 most valuable restaurant brands, and the only Philippine and Southeast Asian brand included in the global ranking. 
  Ernesto Tanmantiong, Global President and Chief Executive Officer of the Jollibee Group, said the recognition underscores the brand's rising global competitiveness and equity. 
  "Being ranked among the world's strongest restaurant brands by Brand Finance signals that Jollibee is winning in superior taste and strengthening consumer preference across markets. It reflects the trust we have built, the disciplined execution of our teams, and the growing power of our brand as we continue to deliver joyful experiences to customers worldwide," Tanmantiong said. 
  Strengthened global equity 
  Brand Finance reported that Jollibee's brand value rose by 32% to USD 3.3 billion in 2026, placing it 18th among the world's 25 most valuable restaurant brands. As part of its brand strength assessment, Brand Finance cited Jollibee's AAA brand strength rating, reflecting strong customer trust, emotional connection, and price acceptance in its home market and other key markets, including Singapore and Vietnam. 
  The year-on-year improvement in brand strength signals that Jollibee is not only expanding its footprint but also deepening its ability to influence customer choice—an important driver of long-term earnings quality, pricing resilience, and franchise attractiveness. This progression positions the brand alongside more established global players in terms of consumer affinity, despite differences in scale. 
  Brand Finance noted that as the only Philippine and Southeast Asian brand in the global ranking, Jollibee's performance underscores the ability of home-grown brands to compete internationally through disciplined execution while sustaining strong brand equity and expectations for future earnings. Its continued expansion across Asia, North America, and the Middle East has strengthened long-term growth visibility while preserving brand leadership in its core market.

With disciplined expansion, we are positioning our brands to grow sustainably, compete globally, and create long-term value for our stakeholders, including investors and franchise partners," Tanmantiong added.

The brand has also earned recognition in Hong Kong and Singapore, and in Kuwait, where Jollibee was ranked among the top 10 brands for best customer service—underscoring its growing consumer preference and consistent delivery of superior taste and joyful service across markets.

China's 15th Five-Year Plan: Charting Solutions in an Uncertain World

CGTN's special feature explores potential impacts of China’s 15th Five-Year Plan beyond its borders.

BEIJING, CHINA -  Media OutReach Newswire - 27 March 2026 - As policymakers and business leaders convene at the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference, one of the most closely watched gatherings on the global calendar, attention is turning to China's national development blueprint: the 15th Five-Year Plan. Beijing's latest development roadmap arrives at a critical moment, as the world is grappling with geopolitical tensions, economic fragmentation and climate change. With these challenges mounting, many international observers are exploring how this blueprint will shape future development trajectories within China and beyond. 
             
       China's 15th Five-Year Plan Charting Solutions in an Uncertain World     
     
 Achim Steiner, former administrator of the United Nations Development Programme, regards green transition, which takes center stage in China's 15th Five-Year Plan, as one of the defining economic shifts of the coming decades. He emphasizes that China's leadership on renewable energy, ranging from solar panels to electric vehicles, have not only driven down global costs, but also turned technologies like EVs that were once considered "luxury and privilege" into accessible tools for people's daily lives. He noted such a giant leap in green technology represents a frontline opportunity for transformation on the African continent, where over 600 million people still lack electricity. Steiner believes the green mindset adopted by Beijing will help many developing nations to avoid catastrophic fallout from climate change. And as certain western nations waver on climate commitments, China's approach to addressing global warming, in contrast, provides a compelling model of a responsible nation, which suggests that green growth can be a policy priority and allow for win-win progress. 
  Mohd Faiz Abdullah, executive chairman of the Institute of Strategic and International Studies in Malaysia, situates China's development strategy within a regional context. He says that the cooperation between China and ASEAN has been contributing to regional and global growth. He described the global economic status quo as "increasingly fragmented," adding that the key challenge is "not to help one individual economy grow," but to achieve shared and sustained prosperity "at regional and global levels." Such a joint task requires shared responsibility in a variety of crucial areas covered in China's 15th Five-Year Plan, including advanced manufacturing, green transition and technological upgrading. In his view, the development vision demonstrated in China's 15th Five-Year Plan is not solely inward-looking, but also a domestic model that can convert to outward impact to the wider world. Abdullah also highlighted that China and ASEAN have already formed one of the world's most dynamic economic partnerships, characterized by expanding investment flows and deepening integration. He believes that the continued implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership will ensure ASEAN and China can work together to achieve shared economic progress for the next decade. 
  Justin Yifu Lin, former chief economist for the World Bank, argues that while the global economy is mired in uncertainty and turbulence, China remains a rare source of stability, certainty and development momentum. Since about 2008, he noted, China has contributed roughly 30 percent of global growth, underscoring its role as a key engine of the world economy. Acknowledging that challenges are universal rather than unique to China, Lin stressed that what matters is the ability to recognize both constraints and opportunities, and to turn the latter into tangible growth. He pointed to China's continued potential in technological innovation and industrial upgrading, supported by its large talent pool, vast domestic market, comprehensive manufacturing base and effective coordination between market forces and government policy. While external risks such as supply chain disruptions and trade tensions persist, alongside domestic pressures, including aging and regional development imbalance, Lin suggests China still holds significant growth potential, possibly around 8 percent per year through 2035, if these challenges are well managed. 
  In a world increasingly defined by uncertainty, China's 15th Five-Year Plan is deemed as an important source of direction and momentum. As the country aims for a good start to its next five-year development period, seeking to advance modernization through high-quality development, major tasks still lie ahead.
