In the third quarter of 2018 (the "Period"), affected by the weak macro economic environment, the competition in the consumer electronic industry became more intense. However, gross profit margin for the Period still recorded a significant improvement as compared with the same period of the previous year, attributable to the constant growth of competitiveness in the metal components business and the continued expansion of the glass casing business. In the aspect of the new business fields, new smart products and automotive intelligent systems businesses of the Group also achieved a rapid growth during the Period. During the Period, the Group continued to increase the investments in the research and development of all businesses, which affected the profitability for the current period to some extend, and the net profit in the third quarter was generally consistent with the corresponding period of last year.
