Outlook
The Corporation announces its financial forecasts for the twelve months ending December 31, 2017. The information included in this news release represents management–s guidance as approved on February 13, 2017. The financial outlook was prepared for Xinhua Holdings Limited, the ultimate holding company of the Corporation, for its reporting obligations in Japan.
The material factors and assumptions used to develop the financial outlook include:
In addition, the Corporation expects to record net earnings in the financial year ending December 2020 (instead of 2019 as announced on March 30, 2016) and recover from its current negative net asset position by the end of the 2022 financial year (instead of 2020 as announced on March 30, 2016). This is due to slower growth than originally expected resulting from the loss of a major customer sending A2P messages to China and also the delay in obtaining the necessary financing to grow the business. The purpose of this financial outlook is to allow the Corporation–s ultimate holding company, Xinhua, to make reference and/or to use such outlook in its own financial disclosure. The operation of GINSMS is a major part of the growth strategy of Xinhua. As such, Xinhua believes that disclosing such information would be useful for its shareholders. Consequently readers of this press release are cautioned that the financial outlook of GINSMS concerning its net earnings and net assets positions is forward looking information and may not be appropriate for other purposes.
