China National Building Material Company Limited provided group earnings guidance for the six months ended 30 June 2017. It is expected that the unaudited profit attributable to equity holders of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2017 will increase substantially as compared with that of the same period in 2016. The above expected increase is primarily due to an increase in the price of cement (being the major product of the Group) and a substantial increase in the Group's net gain from change in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
