AsiaPhos Limited provided earnings guidance for the second quarter and six months ended 30 June 2017. Based on the preliminary assessment of the Group's unaudited consolidated financial results for the second quarter and six months ended 30 June 2017, the Group is expected to record an increase in revenue and net profit after tax as compared to the corresponding periods in 2016. The increase in revenue and net profit after tax in second quarter and six months was mainly due to the higher sales volume and higher average selling prices of P4 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2016. The Group had also resumed full production of P4 during second quarter of 2017 which resulted in higher inventories of P4 available for sale.
