Zhongxin Fruit and Juice Limited provided group earnings guidance for the year ended 30 June 2023. The group is expected to report a lower net income for fiscal year 2023 as compared to the financial results for the full year ended 30 June 2022 This is mainly due to the following reasons: lower sales volume attributed to the decreased production volume due to the shortage of raw materials as a result of the heatwave suffered in some major apple producing areas in China; absence of the one-off gain of RMB 27.5 million recorded in fiscal year 2022 in relation to the indemnity claim; and the Group shared the loss from its equity-accounted joint venture, Linyi SDIC Zhonglu Fruit Juice Co. Ltd. (Linyi SDIC) in fiscal year 2023 as compared to the share of profit in fiscal year 2022, mainly due to lower revenue and gross profit recorded in Linyi SDIC in fiscal year 2023.
