Weichai Power Co. Ltd. provided earnings guidance for the year ended December 31, 2012. The group is expected to record a decline in net profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent for the year ended 31 December 2012, as compared with that recorded for the year ended 31 December 2011.

The Board estimated that the percentage decline in net profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent for the year ended 31 December 2012 approximates that for the nine months ended 30 September 2012 as disclosed in the overseas regulatory announcement of the company dated 29 October 2012. Such decrease in net profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent is mainly due to the tightening of the macro-economic policy by the Chinese government and the ensuing slowdown in economic growth and fixed asset investment growth, which in turn had caused a decrease in sales and hence the net profit of the Group.
