Ausnutria Dairy Corporation Ltd. provided earnings guidance for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Based on the currently available information, it is anticipated that the group will record profit attributable to the shareholders in the range of RMB 215.0 million to RMB 223.0 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2017, representing an increase of RMB 76.1 million to RMB 84.1 million, or 54.8% to 60.5%, when compared with the corresponding figure of RMB 138.9 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2016. Sales of the group is anticipated to increase by approximately 44.2% to approximately RMB 2.7 billion (among which, sales of the group's own-branded premium goat milk and cow milk infant formula products are anticipated to increase by approximately 64.5% and 51.8% to approximately RMB 0.9 billion and RMB 1.0 billion, respectively) when compared with the same period in the last year. The Board believes that the improvement in the group's financial performance was mainly attributable to the effective marketing strategies implemented by the group, in particular, on the group's core business, the own-branded infant formula; the continuous expansion in the group's sales network; the unique and leading market position of the group's goat milk infant formula business; and the clear brand positioning which facilitated the group to penetrate into different sectors and hence cater for different demands in the markets effectively.
