Inner Mongolia Yitai Coal Co. Ltd. provided earnings guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2016. For the period, the group is expected to record an increase of approximately 150% in net profit attributable to the shareholders of the company for the six months ended 30 June 2016 as compared to that for the six months ended 30 June 2015. The company considered that the expected increase in the results of the period was primarily attributable to the increase in the profit per ton of the company in the first half year as compared to the same period of last year, which was mainly due to the continual increase in the coal price, with the improvement of supply-demand situation in the market as a result of supply-side reform in the coal market.
