Sinotruk (Hong Kong) Limited provided unaudited consolidated earnings guidance for the year ended December 31, 2017. For the year, it is anticipated that the consolidated profit attributable to owners of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2017 may record a substantial increase of over 450% as compared to that for the corresponding period in 2016. Such increase is mainly due to (1) the respective increase of sales volume of heavy duty trucks and light duty trucks by more than 70% and 30% leading the increase in revenue, (2) the optimization of sales mix and the increase in gross profit margin, (3) the control of administrative expenses leading to a reduction of expense ratio and (4) the increase in operating profits of certain high-tech subsidiaries with preferential tax rate leading to a reduction of overall income tax rate.
