What happened
Ningbo Energy released its semi-annual report for the period ending June 30, showing operating revenue of 2.085 billion yuan, an increase of 11.27% year-on-year.
Net profit attributable to shareholders reached 159 million yuan, up 12.87% from the same period last year, while net profit excluding non-recurring gains and losses rose 18.63% to 186 million yuan.
Basic earnings per share stood at 0.13 yuan, up 6.73%, and the weighted average return on equity was 3.20%.
Why it matters
The reported figures indicate that Ningbo Energy's core profitability grew faster than its headline net profit, as the non-recurring-items-adjusted profit increased at a higher rate.
The earnings per share growth was slower than the net profit growth, suggesting a slight dilution effect or a change in share count, though this is not detailed in the report.
