How Do Unusual Items Influence Profit?

For anyone who wants to understand Chinyang Holdings' profit beyond the statutory numbers, it's important to note that during the last twelve months statutory profit gained from ₩6.8b worth of unusual items. While it's always nice to have higher profit, a large contribution from unusual items sometimes dampens our enthusiasm. When we analysed the vast majority of listed companies worldwide, we found that significant unusual items are often not repeated. And that's as you'd expect, given these boosts are described as 'unusual'. Chinyang Holdings had a rather significant contribution from unusual items relative to its profit to March 2025. As a result, we can surmise that the unusual items are making its statutory profit significantly stronger than it would otherwise be.

Our Take On Chinyang Holdings' Profit Performance

As previously mentioned, Chinyang Holdings' large boost from unusual items won't be there indefinitely, so its statutory earnings are probably a poor guide to its underlying profitability.

In further bad news, its earnings per share decreased in the last year. At the end of the day, it's essential to consider more than just the factors above, if you want to understand the company properly. So while earnings quality is important, it's equally important to consider the risks facing Chinyang Holdings at this point in time.
