The Impact Of Unusual Items On Profit

To properly understand Luxe Green Energy Technology's profit results, we need to consider the NT$77m gain attributed to unusual items. While we like to see profit increases, we tend to be a little more cautious when unusual items have made a big contribution. We ran the numbers on most publicly listed companies worldwide, and it's very common for unusual items to be once-off in nature.

All else being equal, this would likely have the effect of making the statutory profit a poor guide to underlying earnings power.
