The company's shares closed on the same day at HK$7.46, up 2.8 percent, with a turnover of HK$61.31 million.
The company said the strong profit growth was mainly attributable to higher product sales volumes and selling prices, as well as lower raw material costs, which led to a significant increase in gross profit.
In June 2024, Nine Dragons Paper issued US$400 million (HK$3.12 billion) of perpetual capital securities. Profit attributable to holders of the securities amounted to about 200 million yuan during the period.
As a result, profit attributable to equity shareholders is expected to reach 1.95 billion yuan to 2.05 billion yuan, representing a year-on-year increase of 315.2 percent to 336.5 percent.
