Southwest Securities International Securities Limited provided earnings guidance for the year ended 31 December 2017. For the year, the group is expected to record a consolidated net profit for the year ended 31 December 2017 as compared to the consolidated net loss for the six months ended 30 June 2017. The Board considers that the aforesaid turnaround from loss to profit is mainly attributable to (i) a further reversal of allowance for doubtful debt; and (ii) a net gain after netting off the further gain on fair value change on derivative financial instruments and the further loss arising on retranslation of bonds payable denominated in Renminbi into Hong Kong dollars.
