EGL Holdings Company Limited provided earnings guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2017. For the period, the company expects to record a significant increase in the consolidated profit attributable to owners of the company by approximately 100% as compared to that for the corresponding period in 2016. The expected increase is mainly attributable to improvement in gross profit margin of Japan-bound package tours due to more favorable price adjustment in view of market reaction and lower costs of travel elements in Japan contributed by negotiating for more competitive terms from business partners and more stabilized exchange rate of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong Dollar as compared to that of the first half of 2016 and achievement in cost saving through more effective cost control measures in place.
