The customer-revenue increase followed the addition of hotel properties in New York, Perth, Kuala Lumpur and London.

The difference was in strategic-investment revenue: net fair value changes on financial assets at FVTPL were US$25.0 million, versus US$56.2 million in the comparable period, while dividend income and gain related to disposed financial assets at FVTPL rose to US$10.1 million from US$8.6 million. The company also recorded an approximately US$28,194,000 fair value loss on the Price Protection Agreement related to AMTD Digital Inc. shares, compared with a US$103,208,000 fair value gain in the prior-year period.
