Xinyi Glass Holdings Ltd. announced that the unaudited net profit attributable to equity holders of the company for the six months ended June 30, 2013 is expected to increase significantly as compared with the same for the six months ended 30 June 2012. The substantial improvement in the overall profitability of the Group for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared with the same for the six months ended June 30, 2012, was principally due to: substantial improvement in the performance of the float glass business of the Group with the increases in the sales volume and the average selling prices of the Group's float glass products and the decrease in the relevant production cost; and strong demand for the construction glass products of the Group resulting from the increasing demand for energy-saving low emission glass for construction purpose and the decrease in the relevant production cost.
