Stella International Holdings Limited provided earnings guidance for the six months ended 30 June 2019. Based on the preliminary review of the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2019 and currently available information, the Group expects an improvement in EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) of no less than 50% and an improvement in profit after tax of no less than 70% for the six months ended 30 June 2019, as compared with those for the corresponding period of 2018. The increase in EBIT was mostly attributable to a moderate year-on-year improvement in the production efficiency and the continued ramp-up of its new manufacturing facility in Vietnam; further re-allocation of its production capacity from China to South East Asia; and a much-enhanced product mix and customer mix.
