Royal Deluxe Holdings Limited provided preliminary unaudited consolidated group earnings guidance for the six months ended September 30, 2021. For the period, the group expects to record a decrease in revenue of the company ranging from approximately 40% to 45% as compared to the revenue of the company of approximately HKD 460 million for the six months ended September 30, 2020, accompanied by a similar percentage reduction in direct costs of the company for the current period, which resulted in a slight decrease in gross profit of the company ranging from approximately 4% to 7% for the current period as compared to the previous period of approximately HKD 47 million; and a decrease in the profit attributable to owners of the company ranging from approximately 60% to 65% for the current period, as compared to the profit attributable to owners of the company of approximately HKD 27.5 million recorded for the previous period. The board considered that such decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to the overall delay in commencement of new-start-up projects and the decrease in profit was primarily attributable to the decrease in other income for the current period as a result of the absence of non-recurring government subsidies of approximately HKD 13.3 million received under the Employment Support Scheme and the Anti-epidemic Fund.
