SITC International Holdings Company Limited provided consolidated unaudited earnings guidance for the twelve months ending 31 December 2017. For the twelve months, the company expected the Group will experience a substantial increase of approximately 40% in its consolidated net profit attributable to shareholders of the company for the twelve months ending 31 December 2017 as compared with the corresponding period for the twelve months ended 31 December 2016. Based on information currently available to the company, the Board believes that such increase was primarily attributable to the combined effect of the increase in the Group's business volume as compared to the corresponding period of the year 2016; and overall improvement of the Group's operating efficiency.
