The total number of engines sold by GYMCL during the third quarter of 2017 was 82,839 units, compared with 66,013 units for the same quarter last year, an increase of 25.5%. Sales reflected the industry trend with higher engine sales to the truck segment and lower engine sales to the bus segment compared with the same quarter last year.

Other operating income was RMB 50.6 million (US$ 7.6 million) compared with RMB 12.4 million in the same quarter last year. The increase was mainly due to higher interest income from bank deposits, higher foreign exchange revaluation gains and higher fair value gain on held for trading investment compared to the same quarter last year.

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses decreased to RMB 139.6 million (US$ 21.0 million) from RMB 161.4 million in the same quarter last year.

As a percentage of revenue, R&D expenses decreased to 3.7% compared with 5.6% in the same quarter last year.

Selling, general & administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by 16.8% to RMB 374.4 million (US$ 56.4 million) from RMB 320.6 million in the same quarter last year.

Operating profit increased by 84.9% to RMB 297.9 million (US$ 44.9 million) from RMB 161.1 million in the same quarter last year. The operating margin was 7.9% compared with 5.6% in the same quarter last year.

Finance costs were RMB 32.7 million (US$ 4.9 million) compared with RMB 18.5 million in the same quarter last year. Higher finance costs mainly resulted from higher borrowings.
