According to Jumbo, the weak economy in China, largely "influenced" by the "struggles" of the real estate industry, is posing a challenge to its business there.
"To address these economic challenges, our group has undertaken strategic measures to optimise operations and enhance efficiency in line with the prevailing market conditions," the company says.
Jumbo plans to pay an interim dividend of 0.5 cent per share. It did not pay a dividend in the year-earlier period.

Going forward, despite healthy revenue growth here, the company is mindful of challenges including higher materials and manpower costs.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Jumbo is "cautiously optimistic" about its business performance for the coming financial year.
Jumbo Group shares last traded at 25 cents. It is down 10.71% year to date.
