non-operating items totaling Rmb628m, core profit was up 14.4% to Rmb2,734m, in line with
its target growth of 15%. While ENN has passed through 80-90% incremental costs to
end-users, margin reduction happened as discounts were given to big customers, Citi said.

profits by 1-2% for lower dollar margins. (KL)
