Wai Kee Holdings Limited provided preliminary consolidated earnings guidance for the year ended 31 December, 2018. The company is expected to record an increase in the consolidated profit attributable to owners of the company for 2018 by not less than 20% as compared with that of HKD 912 million for the year ended 31 December, 2017. The increase is mainly due to a significant increase in the contribution of Build King Holdings Limited, whose results are reported in the group's construction and sewage treatment segment and a significant increase in the contribution of Road King Infrastructure Limited, which offset the effect of the significant increase in operating losses of the construction materials and quarrying segments and the provision of impairment losses in respect of a quarry site.
