Noble Engineering Group Holdings Limited provided unaudited consolidated earnings guidance for the six months ended 30 September 2020. For the six months, the company expected to record a consolidated net loss within the range of approximately HKD 4.0 million to HKD 6.0 million for the six months ended 30 September 2020 as compared to a consolidated net loss of approximately HKD 1.5 million of the corresponding period in 2019. Based on the information currently available, the increase in net loss would be mainly attributable to the following factors: the decrease in gross profit margin for the Group's business as a result of an increase in overall construction costs and competitive project pricing arising from intense market competition; and delays in certain projects as a result of the continuation of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic during the six months ended 30 September 2020.
