CIFI Holdings (Group) Co. Ltd. provided earnings guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The group's consolidated net profit attributable to equity owners is expected to record a substantial increase of not less than 100% for the six months period ended 30 June 2017 as compared to the corresponding period for the six months ended 30 June 2016. Such substantial increase in net profit was mainly attributable to: improved profit margins from the Group's recognized revenue from property sales; and substantial fair value gains recorded from the Group's investment properties completed and under construction, during the 2017 Interim Period. Excluding fair value gains and other non-core profits and losses, the group's core net profit attributable to equity owners is also expected to record a substantial increase of not less than 50% in the core net profit attributable to equity owners during the 2017 Interim Period as compared to the corresponding period in 2016.
