IPE Group Limited provided earnings guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2018. For the period, the company inform the shareholders and potential investors that notwithstanding a slight growth in revenue, the group is expected to suffer a significant decrease in net profit for the six months ended 30 June 2018 as compared to the same period of last year. The decrease in net profit is mainly attributable to increase in staff costs due to general rise in wages and increase in headcount; exchange difference arising from appreciation of Renminbi during the first half of 2018 which had an adverse impact on production and operation costs to be reflected in Hong Kong dollars; and increase in amortization of share option expense.
