Solomon Systech (International) Limited provided earnings guidance for the year ending 31 December 2019. The board of directors of the Company expects to record an increase of more than 50% loss attributable to the equity holders of the Company for the year ending 31 December 2019, compared with a loss attributable to the equity holders of the Company of USD 13.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2018. The expected increase in the loss attributable to equity holders of the Company is mainly attributable to, including but not limited to, the following reasons: provision of slow moving inventories due to reduced market demand for some of the products resulting in diminished gross profit margins; decrease in net finance income because of a less favourable investment environment for the year ending 2019 compared to the same period of 2018; and close down offices in United Kingdom and Korea, and written off of carrying cost of these operations. The restructuring is in line with market direction and aim to reduce on-going expenses.
