“The directors believe that the incurrence of the expected improvement in financial performance is primarily attributable to, one, the continuous increase in sales of the group, which was driven by the adjusted business strategy and, two, the turnaround in the financial performance of the operations in the Netherlands after the processing and facilities upgrading plan of the group’s factories in the Netherlands we completed at the end of 2015.”
