Improved gross profit margin in
Q2/2016 was encouraged by reduced
cost of production per unit in relation
to higher utilization rate.
Slightly less gross profit margin in
6M/2016 was mainly contributed by
the change in product sales mix.
Reduced selling expenses to sales in
Q2/2016 and 6M/2015 was supported
by the group’s cost control policy and
increased sales ratio of CMG.
Higher net profit margin in Q2/2016
and 6M/2016 was supported by
increased sales revenue while costs
were well managed.
