[ET Net News Agency, 21 August 2018] Haitian International (01882) said its profit
attributable to shareholders for the six months ended 30 June 2018 rose 24.2% year-on-year
to RMB1,169 million.
Basic and diluted earnings per share were RMB0.73.
The revenue was RMB5,877 million, an increase of 16.7% from a year earlier.
Gross profit margin dropped from 35.1% to 31% mainly as a result of a combination of
increase in raw material prices since the end of last year and the decrease of the export
revenue in RMB terms resulted from the fluctuation of the exchange rate.
The proposed interim dividend is HK25 cents (2017: HK25 cents) per share, payable on or
before 24 September. (SC)
