Zhongxin Fruit and Juice Limited provided earning guidance for the half year ended 31 December 2022. The Board of Directors of Zhongxin Fruit and Juice Limited announced that, following a preliminary review of the unaudited financial results for the half year ended 31 December 2022 (half year 2023), the Group is expected to report a lower net income for half year 2023 as compared to the financial results for the half year ended 31 December 2021 (half year 2022). This is mainly due to (i) lower sales volume attributed to the decreased production volume due to the heatwave suffered in some major apple producing areas in China; and (ii) absence of the one-off gain of RMB 27.5 million recorded in half year 2022 in relation to the indemnity claim.
