Starlite Holdings Limited provided earnings guidance for the six months ended September 30, 2020. For the period, the Group is expected to record a consolidated loss attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HKD 70 million for the six months ended 30th September, 2020 as compared to a profit attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HKD 16 million recorded for the previous corresponding financial period. According to the segmental analysis of the Group, the operating results of southern China operation recorded a profit after tax of approximately HKD 34 million (2019: HKD 16.9 million) for the six months ended 30th September, 2020 if the additional provision for the cost of the relocation and restructuring plan of approximately HKD 90 million was excluded.
