Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science and Technology Co., Ltd. provided earnings guidance for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015. For the third quarter, the company expects net loss attributable to the equity shareholders of the company to be in the range of RMB 190,000,000 to RMB 290,000,000 and basic loss per share to be in the range of RMB 0.02 to RMB 0.04 against net profit attributable to the equity shareholders of RMB 100,201,800 and basic earnings per share of RMB 0.01 for the same period a year ago.

For the nine months, the company expects net loss attributable to the equity shareholders of the company to be in the range of RMB 500,000,000 to RMB 600,000,000 and basic loss per share to be in the range of RMB 0.06 to RMB 0.08 against net profit attributable to the equity shareholders of RMB 1,000,260,000 and basic earnings per share of RMB 0.13 for the same period a year ago. The reason for estimated decrease in the results is due to during the period, the middle exchange rates for RMB to US dollar and other currencies experienced significant changes as a result of the reform of the RMB exchange rate quotation regime, which also affected the profit of the company for the third quarter. As affected by the continuous slowdown in the growth of fixed assets investment of the State, especially the slowdown in the growth of real estate investment, the demand in the construction machinery market continued to be weak which represented a relatively substantial persistent impact on the overall sales revenue and net profit of the company. With a view to control risks and achieve quality operation, the Company continued to implement a stringent sales policy which also affected the sales revenue and net profit to a certain extent.
