Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial Group provided earnings guidance for the year 2013. The company expects its net profit to grow about 80% year on year last year. In 2012, the company's net profit was RMB 1.72 billion, down 5.09% year on year, and basic earnings per share were RMB 1.07.

The company attributed the strong profit growth in part to an increase in revenue and a decrease in income tax.
