China Shandong Hi-Speed Financial Group Limited provided preliminary unaudited consolidated group earnings guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2021. For the period, the group expects to record an unaudited net profit of not less than HKD 250 million as compared with an unaudited net profit of approximately HKD 59 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The aforementioned increase in the unaudited net profit is mainly attributable to a substantial increase in fair value gains on financial assets at fair value through profit and loss for more than approximately HKD 120 million; and a significant decrease of approximately HKD 150 million in the expected credit loss on financial assets for the period as compared to the previous period.
