Somerley Capital Holdings Limited provided earnings guidance for the nine months ended 31 December 2018. The board of directors of the company the shareholders of the company and potential investors that, based on the information currently available and a preliminary review of the Group's unaudited consolidated management accounts for the nine months ended 31 December 2018, the Group is expected to record increases of not less than 25% in revenue and not less than 100% in after-tax profit as compared to the revenue of approximately HKD 53.7 million and after-tax profit of approximately HKD 4.3 million for the corresponding period in 2017. The increases in the revenue and net profit of the Group are primarily attributable to the factors set out in the previous positive profit alert announcement of the company dated 31 October 2018 and the completion of another substantial financial advisory engagement during the quarter ended 31 December 2018. The improvement in the nine months' financial performance as compared to the corresponding period in 2017 is welcome but the outcome for the year ending 31 March 2019 is subject to the results of the Group for the current quarter for which there is less visibility than normal.
