Benefited from sales contribution from newly-acquired product, Miacalcic and expansion of its proprietary product portfolio, both revenue and net profit of the Group recorded new highs after its transformation.

The overall revenue of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2016 increased by RMB67.4 million or 7.9% to RMB915.1 million, as compared with RMB847.7 million for the previous year.

Operating profit for the year ended 31 December 2016 improved significantly, amounting to RMB185.7 million, as compared with an operating profit of RMB136.0 million for the previous year.
