Revenues of China TiO2 enterprises increases in general
China listed TiO2 enterprises all increased in their revenues, with the growth of 5%-25% in Q1-Q3 2016, which was a reflection of the positive effects on TiO2 enterprises from the increasing price of TiO2 in China. Based on CCM’s observation, the revenue growth of TiO2 enterprises matched the growth of TiO2 prices basically in China.
Among all the listed TiO2 enterprises, Anhui Annada performed the best in the revenue in Q1-Q3 2016, with the growth up 23.03% YoY.

Tan Ruiqing, vice-president of Henan Billions, stated that if the TiO2 price remained at USD2,213.23/t in 2017, it is very likely that the net profit will double in 2017 in Henan Billions.

Henan Billions performed well as always, with the net profit attributable to shareholders of RMB119 million in Q1-Q3 2016, up 103.65% YoY. Anhui Annada was good as well, with the net profit attributable to shareholders of RMB19.05 million in Q1-Q3 2016, up 130.58% YoY.
