With the launch of new products, the growth remains strong
In March, 2013, JAC launches brand new SUV Ruifeng S5. The current sales volume maintains 3,000 units a month. As there are more options for S5 (2.0T automatic transmission and 1.5T automatic transmission), the sales volume per month will reach 5,000 units. In addition, from the second half year till the beginning of 2014, JAC plans to launch Heyue A30, A20 and small SUV S3; hence, the profit will remain grow steadily with the launch of new products.
Raise profit forecast
JAC raises the forecast on sales volume of LD and HD trucks to 235,000 units and 32,000 units from previous 215,000 units and 26,000 units respectively, and the forecast on gross profit rate to 16% from previous 15.5%, and therefore, EPS from 2013 to 1025 is raised to 0.73/0.81/0.94 RMB from previous 0.67/0.80/0.93 RMB.
