ST Group to liquidate UK subsidiary

This follows the Australian-headquartered company's plans to exit the UK's Gong Cha brand.

ST Group Food Industries plans to liquidate its indirect subsidiary in the United Kingdom, GCTea Outlets 2B, which operates a food and beverage outlet under the Gong Cha brand in the country.

This follows the Australian-headquartered company's plans to exit the UK's Gong Cha brand due to its loss-making status and net liabilities as of December 2024.

Whilst the liquidation will result in some losses, it will likely have a positive impact on the group’s consolidated net tangible assets (NTA) and earnings per share.

Based on the group’s latest audited financials for the financial year 2024, the liquidation would lead to a slight drop in the group’s NTA to $16.5m (AUD19.59m).

This would translate to its NTA per share remaining unchanged before and after liquidation at $0.06 (AUD0.077).

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
