Tianjin Jinran Public Utilities Company Limited provided consolidated earnings guidance for the year ended December 31, 2015. For the year, the company anticipated that the group will record a substantial decrease in profit and total comprehensive income as compared with that for the year ended December 31, 2014. This is mainly due to decrease in gas connection income due to the relatively sluggish property market in the Group's business operation areas in Tianjin, resulting in a decrease in demand for piped gas connection services provided by the Group; and a decrease in demand from certain major industrial and commercial customers of the Group for the Group's piped gas services.
