Shenzhen International Holdings Limited provided earnings guidance for the six months ended 30 June 2023. For the period, the Group expects to record a profit attributable to ordinary shareholders ranging from approximately HKD 30 million to HKD 100 million for the Period, while the Group recorded a profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of HKD 582 million during the corresponding period of last year. The decrease in profit attributable to ordinary shareholders is mainly due to the absence during the Period of the one-off gain from the capital contributions to Shenzhen International Qianhai Business Development (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd, which was recognized during the same period of last year, and the increase in the Group's finance costs during the Period arising from the significant increase in interest rates offered by Hong Kong banks as well as the continued volatility of Renminbi exchange rate during the Period.

In addition, due to the impact of the domestic and overseas economic environment, the performance of the Group's main business operations was slightly weaker than expected, while the Group's financial position remained stable.
