Universal Health International Group Holding Limited provided earnings guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The board of directors of the company informed the shareholders and the potential investors of the company that, based on the preliminary review of the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group and the current available information to the Board, the Group is expected to record a significant decrease in its net profit for the six months ended 30 June 2016 as compared with that for the six months ended 30 June 2015. The Board is of view that the decrease in domestic retail and distribution business was due to the decline of the people's purchasing power in traditional channels as a result of environmental factors such as downward pressure in the real economy in traditional industry and the development of Internet economy during the Period. However, the Group did not fully rely on the original traditional business according to the national development direction but enhanced the upgrading and transformation to the existing business. Besides, the marketing and advertising expense incurred was approximated to that of the corresponding period of last year, due to the Group's maintenance of large-scale membership promotion events and brand promotion activities for the Period. Although the net profit of the Group for the Period decreased significantly, the Board believes that the Group's overall financial position is still healthy, and therefore the Board keeps positive attitude on the long term prospect of the Group.
