The United Laboratories International Holdings Limited announced unaudited consolidated earnings results for the six months ended June 30, 2018. For the period, the company reported revenue of RMB 3,792,714,000 against RMB 3,339,798,000 a year ago. Profit before taxation was RMB 149,199,000 against RMB 152,169,000 a year ago. Profit for the year attributable to owners of the company was RMB 91,177,000 or 5.60 cents per diluted share against RMB 109,129,000 or 3.31 cents per diluted share a year ago. EBITDA was RMB 627,412,000 against RMB 677,650,000 a year ago. The decrease in net profit is mainly due to loss on fair value change of embedded derivative components of convertible bonds of approximately RMB 280.6 million, which is a non-cash item having no impact to the Group's liquidity position. The substantial increase in operating results is mainly contributed from significant improvement of segment results of intermediate products during the reporting period.
