Hong Kong-based Lianhua Supermarket Holdings booked an increase in half-year profits today (27 August), up 10% year-on-year.
Net profit for the six months to 30 June reached CNY250m (US$37m) compared to CNY277m in the same period of 2008.
Profit before taxation amounted to CNY380m, representing an increase of 19.7% from the previous year. Operating profit was up 26% to CNY318m.
Turnover was also up, reaching CNY10.97bn, an increase of 2.21% as on 2008.
Same-store sales, however, decreased by 1.7% as a result of the slump in the price of consumer goods and “sluggish” consumption sentiment.
