Xinyi Solar Holdings Limited provided group financial guidance for the six months ending June 30, 2015. Following preliminary review of the currently available information which includes, but without limitation to, the operating and financial data of the Group for the five months ended May 31, 2015, the Board announced that the amount of the consolidated net profit attributable to the equity holders of the company (the net profit) for the six months ending June 30, 2015 is expected to increase by approximately 150% to 180%, as compared with the net profit of HKD 202.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Directors consider that the significant increase in the amount of the net profit for the six months ending June 30, 2015 is primarily attributable to: the increase in the sales volume of solar glass products by more than 60%, as compared with the sales volume during the six months ended June 30, 2014, following the commencement of commercial production of two new ultra-clear photovoltaic raw glass production lines with an aggregate daily melting capacity of 1,800 tonnes; the improvement in profit margin of solar glass products as a result of increasing cost efficiency and benefits from economies of scale; the adjustment in the product mix with higher percentage of sales generated from the ultra-clear photovoltaic processed glass; the commencement of commercial operations of ground-mounted solar farm facilities with the installed capacity of 250 megawatt (MW) in late 2014 and another ground-mounted solar farm facilities of 30 MW in the early of 2015; and the gain arising from the dilution of the Group's equity interest in (Xinyi Solar (LuiAn) Company Limited).
