China Boton Group Company Limited provided preliminary group earnings guidance for the six months ended 30 June 2023. For the period, the group expects net profit to decrease by approximately 35% as compared to the six months ended 30 June 2022, which is mainly attributable to the severe global business environment in e-cigarette industry after the COVID-19 pandemic, increase of various direct and indirect production costs due to tight supply chains and decrease in the revenue. Notwithstanding the above, the net profit of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2023 is expected to be around the same as the net profit of the Group for the full financial year ended 31 December 2022.
