NNK Group Limited provided unaudited consolidated earnings guidance for the year ended December 31, 2018. For the year, the company expected to record an increase in loss for the Year as compared to a loss of approximately HKD 19.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2017. Such result was primarily attributable to the decrease of the average discount rate the Group received from the PRC telecommunication operators, their distributors and other channels from approximately 0.7% for the year ended 31 December 2017 to approximately 0.6% for the Year; and the decline in mobile top-up requests through electronic banking systems and offline channels. The increase in loss was partly offset by the increase in other income and expenses primarily due to an one-off subsidy of approximately HKD 1.9 million received in the first half of the Year, and the increase in unrealised net exchange gain from bank balances denominated in Hong Kong dollars; the decrease in distribution and selling expenses by tightening the costs on marketing campaign with the PRC banks; and the decrease in staff costs mainly due to a decrease in headcount for the Year as a result of the restructuring in the first half of the year.
