Electro-mechanical component firm Johnson Electric (HKG:0179) expects a 21% to 25% decline in attributable profit for the year ended March 31 to between $207 million and $197 million from a net profit of $263 million a year prior, according to a Tuesday filing with the Hong Kong bourse.
Johnson Electric shares slumped 15% on the news.
The company attributed the forecast to higher selling and administrative staff costs, foreign currency impacts on operating expenses, provisions for claims and compensation, the recognition of a non-cash impairment of intangible assets, and an adverse change in the fair value of certain investments.
