SITC International Holdings Company Limited provided unaudited earnings guidance for the six months ending June 30, 2021. For the six months, it is expected that the Group will record a consolidated net profit attributable to shareholders of the Company for the six months ending 30 June 2021 in the amount of approximately USD 440 million to USD 480 million as compared to that for the corresponding six months ended 30 June 2020, representing a notably increase in the amount of approximately USD 320 million to USD 360 million. Based on the information currently available to the Company, the Board believes that such increase was primarily attributable to the combined effect of the increase in demand of container shipping and logistics services for the past months in 2021 as compared to the corresponding period of the year 2020; and the overall improvement of the Group's operating efficiency and the effective cost control.
