[ET Net News Agency, 13 November 2019] Jacobson Pharma Corporation Limited (02633) said
the group is expected to record an increase of over 30% in the consolidated profit
attributable to shareholders of the company for the six months ended 30 September 2019 as
compared to that for the six months ended 30 September 2018.
The expected increase is mainly attributable to the steady growth of the group's generic
drug business augmented with the sales revenue generated from newly in-licensed products,
in addition to an uplifted sales performance on proprietary medicines. Operating leverage
and financial savings derived from cost control measures also helped contribute to the
expected increase in earnings. Fair value gain on redemption of convertible notes and
investment properties of the group is also expected to contribute, although to a lesser
extent, to the increase in consolidated profit attributable to shareholders of the
company. (RC)
