Soup Restaurant Group Limited provided preliminary unaudited consolidated earnings guidance for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016. For the quarter, the company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group") is expected to report a loss as compared to a profit recorded in the corresponding period of the previous year. The expected losses were mainly due to the closure of two profitable outlets, the first due to extensive mall refurbishments and the second was slated for relocation upon expiry of the lease. Furthermore, the Group has incurred pre-operating expenses for the opening of a new outlet at the end of the second quarter. Nevertheless, the revenue from existing outlets has increased as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. For the six months ended 30 June 2016, the Group is expected to remain profitable.
