Kingdom Holdings Limited provided group earnings guidance for the six months ended 30 June 2018. The board of directors of the Company announced that, based on the preliminary assessment of the Group's unaudited consolidated management accounts for the six months ended 30 June 2018, the Company expects that the Group's net profit for the six months ended 30 June 2018 will increase by not less than 100% as compared with the six months ended 30 June 2017, as a result of (1) improving gross profit margin from market recovery and price adjustments; (2) the sharp appreciation of United States Dollars against Renminbi in June 2018; and (3) a fair value gain arising from derivative financial instruments for the six months ended 30 June 2018.
