Great Wall Pan Asia Holdings Limited announced unaudited consolidated earnings guidance for the year ended 31 December 2023. The Group is expected to record an unaudited consolidated profit attributable to the Shareholders in the range of approximately HKD 271 million to HKD 299 million and an unaudited basic earnings per share in the range of approximately HK 17.26 cents to HK 19.08 cents for FY2023, as compared to the audited consolidated profit attributable to the Shareholders of HKD 318 million and the audited basic earnings per share of HK 20.26 cents for the year ended 31 December 2022 representing a decrease of approximately 6% to 15%, which are primarily attributable to: the expected increase in the finance cost incurred in FY2023 of approximately HKD 110 million to HKD 120 million, representing an increase of 67% to 73% as compared to FY2022, due to the rise in the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rates on which the borrowing costs of the Group's loans are based, which was partially offset by the expected increase in fair value gains on the Group's investment properties of approximately HK$107 million to HK$113 million as at 31 December 2023; and the expected decrease of approximately HKD 36 million to HKD 44 million in share of profit of an associate of the Group to approximately HKD 422 million to HKD 430 million for FY2023, as compared to the share of profit of an associate of the Group of HKD 466 million for FY2022, resulting from the increase in the finance cost of such associate in FY2023.
