China National Building Material Company Limited provided earnings guidance for the nine months ended 30 September 2018. It is expected that the unaudited profit attributable to equity holders of the Group for the nine months ended 30 September 2018 will increase substantially as compared with that of the same period in 2017. The above expected increase, which is attributable to the principal business of the Group, is due to an increase in the price of cement, being the major product of the Group, partially reduced due to the substantial decrease in the fair value of financial assets recognized at fair value through profit or loss of the Group.
