China National Building Material Company Limited provided earnings guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The board of directors of the company announced that based on its preliminary review of the relevant financial statements of the company and its subsidiaries, it is expected that the unaudited profit attributable to equity holders of the Group for the six months ended June 30, 2016 will decrease very substantially as compared with that of the same period in 2015. The above expected decrease is primarily due to a decrease in the price of cement (being the major product of the Group) and a substantial decrease in the Group's net gain from change in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
